#127 I agree with you on the anti-gay protestors.

But the Westboro Babtist Church people are the only ones who come to mind when it comes to disrupting church services (although I seem to remember they generally showed their asses faces at things like Andrew Shepherd's funeral).

As for anti-abortion protestors, they generally like to gun down their "opponents" outside of clinics and not churches.

And as for the anti-Muslim and anti-Jewish protestors, they generally rely on dynamite to express their opinions.

So, in the scheme of things, what the protestors, in this case, would be considered more Jesus-like than, say, terrorist-like.

My 2 cents (or, as Donnerboy recently posted, with Trumpf's inflation, that 2 cents is now 2 dollars)

:-)

Oh, and thank you for your very, very kind compliment, Gal.

As I like to say, you're good people, my friend.

#15 LOL!!!

#2 Machado regifted.

#53 Oh, and do regale us with tales of the Trumpf on the 2024 campaign trail, promising to freeing low level (Trump Frees Meth Dealer) and HIGH LEVEL (Trump pardoned ex-Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernndez despite his 45-year sentence for drug trafficking)...

...drug dealers.

Please cite the dates and venues where candidate Trumpf promised those things on the 2024 campaign trail, Major DEI Boazo.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

#48 'Tis clear that Major DEI Boazo is using MAGA math, accompanied by Vernon's calculator, Laura.

:-)

#10 Find a dime, buy a clue.

Biden isn't president now.

Pedodent Trumpf is.

You're welcome.

#11 The entire world ("about 9 billion") is in the USA?

No wonder housing is so expensive.

#4 Thank you for your excellent post, Nixon.

#124 Excellent points, Gal.

I do, however, seem to remember the activities of the Westboro Baptist Church.

Also, if there's a charlatan posing as a Christian minister (who is an ICE agent), then I think Jesus set the example:

Jesus overturned tables in the Temple courts to protest merchants exploiting worshippers, turning His Father's house into a "den of robbers" or "market," as described in all four Gospels (Matthew 21, Mark 11, Luke 19, John 2). He drove out sellers of animals and money changers, quoting scripture about prayer, and emphasized that the sacred space meant for God's worship was being commercialized and corrupted by greed, often seen as an act of righteous anger against injustice.

What ICE was doing in the links I provided was not based on any Christian understanding whatsoever.

I think the protestors, in this case, are being just as righteous as Jesus was.

#46 Interesting how Major DEI Boazo thinks he can just gaslight lie about something most intelligent people know isn't true and we'll just take his (shriveled-up) "integrity" at face value.

#117 So?

You refuse to acknowledge the horrible actions by the part of your beloved Gestapo ICE.

Noted, coward.

#116 We're a democracy, Major DEI Boazo:

How is your local dog catcher chosen?

How are your mayor and county/parish executives chosen?

How are your state representatives/state senators chosen?

How is your governor chosen?

How is your US congressperson chosen?

How is are your US Senators chosen?

Think, Major DEI Boazo (if you can)...

How are all those people chosen ... if NOT through democratic means?

The billionaires and CEOs funding Trump and the Republicans in Congress believe they're invincible. They believe the GOP's abandonment of the principles that animated John McCain and Mitt Romney in favor of authoritarianism and oligarchy will keep them fat and happy.

They're wrong.

For decades, Americans have been told that "conservative values" stood for restraint, responsibility, and respect for the rule of law. The rise of Donald Trump forces an unavoidable question: were those values abandoned, or were they a generational lie that made his authoritarian takeover possible?
