Minnesota has a HOTDISH MILITIA and I am in lurve.

During Wednesday’s 700 Club, televangelist Pat Robertson said that the Alabama legislature has “gone too far,” in its proposed ban on abortion. Robertson is not faulting the state for its attempt to prevent abortions saying “God bless them,” but says its ban could be successfully challenged.

“It’s an extreme law and they want to challenge Roe vs. Wade but my humble view is that this is not the case we want to bring to the Supreme Court because I think this one will lose,” he said.

“The Alabama case, God bless them, they’re trying to do something, but I don’t think that’s the case that I’d want to bring to the Supreme Court,” he later reiterated.

The abortion law that’s too extreme for Pat Robertson. Holy shit

Seems more for strategic reasons though

I’m glad mr. ratburn has found happiness. He was alsays a caring if stern teacher but there was a palpable sadness to him too. That’s hopefully over now.

From what i remember. I watched a lot of tv as a kid.

Fuck these peope sideways.

Seems like the comment of someone who holds your authority in contempt.

Kinda counting down to the day when the reaction shifts from 'smiled' to 'pulled out a flick knife and sliced off his right ear'.

We'll be counting our way into the camps

Regardless of the likelihood of this guy getting locked up—what the fuck is the purpose of taking it off the table and making a joke out of it?

These people are just greasing the skids.

Maybe you need to be Canadian to fully appreciate the evil that is Conrad Black but this is jaw-dropping to me tbh: https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/trump-issues-full-pardon-to-conrad-black-1.4424348?fbclid=IwAR335QVupznWL-6zMZozmFA0TpdW5dByMJ3rHBgBg8ANYcJcHc16GQcvLUY

Is there even any attempt at an argument that Black did not engage in fraud on a large scale or is this just nakedly because he wrote a biography of Trump?

And I enjoyed Black's huge FDR bio a decade ago

So apparently there was. (Two of three mail fraud convictions were eventually overturned but not the obstruction of justice conviction.)

If the accusation is untrue you are obstructing ~injustice~.

In a statement, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders described Black as “an entrepreneur and scholar”

I am starting to blame women that they didn't stab these guys in the dick when they had the chance.

Trump will shut that shit down if he's not getting a cut.

that is fucking horrifying

So bizarre I kind of want one.

Looking forward to the Vic Berger supercut.

(Vic Berger's Jim Bakker videos)

The fact that Jim Bakker wasn't instantly reduced to a puddle of goo after foisting that into the world is possibly the strongest argument against the existence of god that I've ever encountered.

We've really been on a roll these last few years.

there's something weirdly mesmerizing about all those videos. I think Vic is best when he stays away from Trump

like how does he manage to make this so hilarious and terrifying at the same time

good morning!

I am pretty much convinced that the Dems are going to do absolutely nothing to hold Trump accountable, fuck around during the primaries with a stage full of morons, then hand Trump a convincing electoral college victory. Only hope now is the economy crashes before Election Day, which is some shit.

catastrophizing itt has always sucked and continues to suck, don't do it

ugh, I was too early for the good morning.

.....where are the tax returns?

Where are the saxophones

Do you guys like trump?

honestly, not really a big fan

Me neither. Glad to have some fellowship on this point.
