    The Fauci hate from Trumpets is absolutely bizarre. Trump hired Fauci for his Corona virus task force. Trump could have fired him at any time.

        That’s what’s hilarious and also scary about this whole thing. Trump, wanting to score easy points and get a quick win, read a sign about hospital cleaning procedures and stepped up to a podium and basically said “we’re looking into things with bleach and injecting light to cure the disease.”

        And Fauci, doing his job, was like “please be safe, socially distance, and wear masks while we work to get a safe and effective vaccine.”

        And people lost their fucking minds.

          That was such an uncomfortable situation. I don’t remember the lady’s name, Susan something? Anyways, whomever was in charge at the time, he was trying to get her to agree that his insane ramblings was what they were actively working on and she looked like she just wanted to melt into the chair. You could see on everyone’s face that trump was a petty schoolyard bully, who would punish anyone who dared speak of reality instead of living in his own ignorant castle of lies.

    So let me get this straight, a lady in Texas upsets an insurance company and gets arrested for threats. Someone makes, hangs, then posts this and it’s fine?

    You don’t need to be a Christian to question the mental stability of someone who decorates their home with lynched effigies of people they hate.

    So I’m confused, is saying you want the elite to die something the right-wing talking heads are in favour of, or is it beyond the pale? Because they’ve gotten awfully inconsistent about this one in the past few weeks.

    It’s barbaric for sure, but isn’t that Christian behavior? For starters, they decorate their rooms with a replica of the mangled corpse of their savior. Same with any cross symbolism, really.

      That’s Catholics. Christians use an empty cross to signify the resurrection. Either way, both use the symbol of Jesus crucifixion because according to the Bible, the crucifixion was the sacrifice Jesus made to provide forgiveness for a humanity that didn’t deserve it, the very definition of grace. Unfortunately the actual message appears to be completely lost on a lot of people these days.

        Yeah, the “sacrifice Jesus made.” I think the Romans had something to do with that. Maybe we should be thanking them for killing Jesus to save us from our sins.

          According to the Bible, as the son of God, Jesus could have stopped the crucifixion from moving forward at any time. He allowed himself to be crucified as one final blood sacrifice offering to God. That’s why Christians don’t sacrifice animals on the altar anymore, the way that the Hebrews did, because it is no longer necessary thanks to Jesus’ sacrifice.

    I was checking out at the grocery store the other day when the cashier wished me a Merry Christmas. I replied with, “happy holidays!“

    She was visibly upset.

    It’s beyond me why some people are like this.

    The best part is how the person would have gone to so much effort, organization, time and headaches to find those little dolls that look like the politicians they wanted … if they couldn’t find them, they probably had them custom made … all to hang on their tree like this and post it online.

    Damn, my inlaws wanted xmas photos of all the family holding guns. They did this before. Even at the time i thought, “i dont think this conveys good will towards man” as well as you may think. I just wore my anarchy raccoon shirt :)
