MAGA worships the Mean Jesus.

That means they'll get into Mean Heaven.

Where they can ponder the difference between that and Hell.

Wow. That dude looks like a creepy SOB in that picture in the article.

Anyways, the fracture of American Christianity itself is going to be bloody. Once they start venturing outside of their own victim complex and start attacking other Christian denominations it's really going to kick off.

The Texas Senate race is interesting because the Democrat's candidate seems to be more knowledgeable (far more knowledgeable) about what the Bible teaches than the GOP candidate.


How will that play out in November? I don't know. But the GOP seems to be quite concerned about it, and the money needed to fight it. Money that is needed elsewhere by the RNC.

Judge not, lest you be judged, Emeffer.

Pretending to know the will of God is blasphemy, Emeffer.

He is petrified; frozen in terror of Talarico.

Talarico is making MAGA piss themselves, while Tchrump is sharting himself, on camera, in the Oval Office.

Effin dim emeffen losers.

Talarico is Beto 2.0 or more accurately, Beta 2.0.

But "Go to Hell"???

Come on! For all of his weirdness he seems like a decent guy.

History might just repeat on this one.

Before the Civil War, the Southern Baptists did a schism in the Baptist church because Southern Baptists believe(d) The Bible supports Slavery.

Seems he is already in "hell". Hell for a democrat.

He is in Texas isn't he? The rape capital of the U.S. They don't allow legal abortions or legal weed there.

So they don't let you get high or eat babies. Booo!

Another right-wing talking point you happily regurgitate without question.

What's this "weirdness" you speak of?

"Beta"

All Senators are Betas.

If they were Alphas, they'd be the President. Or Governor. Or CEO.

Probably the worst thing about toxic masculinity is the generationally transmitted abject stupdity, passed down from mediocre father to mediocre son.
