"This is an important thing to think about."

Text on image reads: "Proselytizing assumes you have something the other person lacks. But if your belief requires faith rather than evidence, what you're actually offering is your conviction dressed up as their need. And if your religion were self-evidently true, you wouldn't need a strategy for getting other people to believe it." #deconstruction #exvangelical #exchristian #faithtransition #Christianity #religion #epistemology #criticalthinking #atheism #secularism #philosophy

If journalists had any integrity and courage, they would boycott the White House Correspondents Dinner. It should be as empty as a TPUSA event.

Donald Trump is a reflection of what America has become: a nation comprised primarily of uneducated, arrogant, racist buffoons without a conscience or even basic social skills, scamming their way thru life with impunity while believing that laws apply only to other people— never to them.

Most Americans have been brainwashed to think socialism is communism.

We should be learning from other countries...

I would love to pull of a Hungary-level electoral demolition of the republicans but I fear too many people are either secretly or openly happy with fascism.

The Department of State tweets a video of Secretary Marco Rubio. In the video, Rubio says: "Imagine if instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, Iran had spent that money helping the people of Iran. They would have a much different country."

FactPost News tweets a video of Donald Trump speaking at a podium. In the video he says: "We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things."

hmm

One thing Trump has done is imbue one of his core beliefs into government practice: frivolous legal actions are powerful.

Threaten to sue someone. Actually sue them! He did this a lot as a businessman. Now DOJ does it. Does not matter if they lose - the legal hassles imposed are the punishment.

Si pueden, y de hecho lo están haciendo. Que no deberían, ya es otra cosa, pero no podremos esperar gobernantes con altas capacidades intelectuales y morales cuando la gente que vota es igual a ellos. Lo que estamos viviendo es el resultado de la clase de personas y sociedades que somos.

This is why Americans don’t have healthcare

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

It’s really crazy how much I’ve been agreeing with Rep. Thomas Massie recently!

This one hits hard.

A prime tenet of conservatism is to shamelessly suck up to those above you, and to exploit and punish those below. It’s the guiding principle of the insecure and greedy

Americans really got bored with free trade, the best and brightest in the world wanting to come here, low corruption and childhood diseases like measles being eradicated.

I guess things are definitely less boring now. Worse, but also less boring.
