“their sins will always find them out”

If only that were true.

No gods will save us. The only justice in this world is that which we can enact with our own hands.

The mechanisms of narcissism and of cults are remarkably similar.

They were just bigots?

Um? I’m making more than twice that and I can just barely afford rent, food, etc. I’d hesitate to call anything below $15/hr even remotely livable, and that’s out in the sticks.

CECOT is the American gulag

but to roll over and not enforce the constitution provides functionally no difference than if they had lost a constitutional crisis.

Oh, it makes a very big difference… to them. If they pick a fight with Trump and lose, they go to the gulag. If they appease him, they might not go to the gulag.

Wait, what?

Dems are controlled opposition and everyone knows it.

I still vote for them, at least until a better alternative comes along. But we have to build better systems because the establishment will not save us.

Unfortunately homophones think that AIDS is God’s curse for being gay, so they shouldn’t help victims or try to cure it. It’s “God’s will.”
