      Or if they did … just pay taxes like everyone else.

      If you’re going to have a big opinion about politics and start acting like a political organization and influencing politics … I don’t mind, just pay taxes.

      Any political endorsement should automatically strip their tax-free status, while simultaneously initiating an IRS audit.

      All hands on deck against the nazis. If someone punched my grandma and then denounced trump, I’d join hands with them for this election.

      My grandma is a huge bitch though.

      I mean… yeah, ofc, but that ship has sailed, and I for one hope that this message gets spread far and wide, to help counteract the message being preached from the literal and actual pulpit in America that a vote for Trump = a vote for God.

      Also, as we could have guessed, this is an enormously clickbaity “news” title, as this excerpt explains:

      “In a moment like this, I am compelled to be clear that every voter must make a choice, and my choice is to oppose the dangerous politics that (Donald) Trump and the MAGA movement have unleashed by supporting the ticket that can defeat this potential for American fascism,” Barber said in a statement to CNN, while stressing that he was backing Harris in his personal capacity.

      In their personal capacity they are endorsing Harris, but in their professional (or whatever that word should be to mean non-personal) capacity they are only endorsing “not-Trump”. As it should be.

      Edit: which reminds me that I wanted to block this community - that issue of EXTREMELY misleading headlines (especially those that mean the precise polar opposite of what a natural interpretation of the sentence would seem to indicate) comes up FAR too often here for my tastes. [email protected] significantly cleans up such trash by limiting what is allowed to be shared.

    Jesus could come back with photo ID, walk on water, let the Cowboys be a championship team, and cure the blind, Republicans will still vote Trump.

    Harris has come out stronger on Christianity than anything else like living wages/worker’s rights, environmental protections, police reform, universal healthcare

    no matter who wins Jesus and the corporations will come out on top this year as always
