Theatre of the Truly Absurd.

I got it... Georgia Pee Nuts!

you just bring out the best in me, Clowny lol

Georgia on my hind?

"Defendants and unindicted coconspirators schemed to prevent the lawful transfer of the presidency to keep Unindicted Coconspirator 1 in office against the will of Arizona's voters," the 58-page indictment reads.

The names of seven of the defendants, including Meadows, Giuliani and Epshteyn, are redacted, but the document makes clear who they are by describing their roles. Others include attorneys John Eastman, Jenna Ellis and Christina Bobb, as well as Trump 2020 campaign operative Mike Roman.

Ken Chesebro, an attorney who helped devise Trump's post-election strategy, is described as "unindicted coconspirator 4."

from the Politico link, also there's a link to the Indictment there

Would that be a Golden State shower?

"Each of the 11 Arizona fake electors " Tyler Bowyer, Nancy Cottle, Jake Hoffman, Anthony Kern, Jim Lamon, Robert Montgomery, Samuel Moorhead, Loraine Pellegrino, Greg Safsten, Kelli Ward and Michael Ward " face nine felony counts for conspiracy, fraudulent schemes and artifices and forgery."

AND

"An Arizona grand jury has indicted 18 allies of Donald Trump for their efforts to subvert the 2020 election " including former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and attorneys Rudy Giuliani and Boris Epshteyn.

The indictment, which includes felony counts of conspiracy, fraud and forgery, also describes Trump as an unindicted co-conspirator."

What they say about her, they should be saying about her Boss, Mr. Trumpy.

She doesn't take a leak without asking him first.

The material universe (X) cannot create itself.

An eternal, non-material entity could.

Time being a human concept and all.

Of course, a fundamentalist who KNOWS everything there is to know, would say that's absurd.

Because they KNOW the TRUTH... just as any fundie theist does.

Christians, otoh, and agnostics, aren't that self-absorbed. Nor that self-deluded.

There are, arguably, better arguments for the existence of God than there are for a lot of other things, including multiverses.

Here's a brief one now, recorded at the Oxford Union by a leading scholar of pure mathematics, that you won't listen to:

Filing false business records is a crime no matter the underlying election laws, which are notoriously hard to prosecute... because they are written by politicians who don't want to be prosecuted.

Whether the AG makes the charges stick or not, just the first day of testimony showing the extent of Trump's disregard for the truth in the lies he told his followers, and his disregard for the truth in general; paying off a news source to hide and manufacture facts for him... is worth the price of admission.

And there's lot's more exposure to come.

Including trans Jeffebelle's love child with Trump that the Doorman got 30K to fergit, lol.

"Marvin Harrison Jr., WR " Ohio State
Projected draft pick: Top 5

You'd have to be living under a rock to make it this far in the process without hearing about Marvin Harrison Jr. He's been on the draft radar for the last three years as one of the most vaunted receiver prospects since Randy Moss or Calvin Johnson.

Harrison Jr. has his dad's elite route-running skills, but he's more athletic than Pops was. A unicorn of a player, MHJ has the ability to make a quarterback better purely by the mismatches he creates on the outside.

You're going to be hearing his name for a long time to come."

'

Should be an interesting draft for non-pro sports snobs.

I just heard Bucky Brooks tell David Helman (former Cowboys Media, now Fox)... that in a strictly bidness sense, Dallas should take Michael Penix, QB U Washington @ Pick 24, and let someone else pay Dak his $60 million a year next year.

That would be the biggest story in the Draft... that almost surely won't happen, ;o)

Kind of a reflection of the US House of Reps; you need Dems to help Repubs defeat their crazies.

The lesson being that Donald Trump is an even worse human being than is Ted Cruz.

Which is saying a lot.

"There is zero evidence for other universes. So the biggest misconception about the multiverse is that it's a bone fide theory that's been proven.

"It isn't - it doesn't really have a mathematical basis - it is a collection of ideas," said Lewis.

"In the cycle of science it remains at the hypothesis stage and needs to become a robust proposition before we can truly understand the consequences."

"TikTok may be banned in the US. Here's what happened when India did it"

Had Tucker even a modicum of self-awareness he would have backed offa his Russia With Love stuff after Vlad screwed him every way possible in that interview.

Apparently the Base's ratings are like, I dunno... Vasoline?

lmao... Trump is a waddling gaffe machine.

Pecker unabashedly called this, "check-book journalism", and apparently has no qualms about having done it at all.

- Mere existence is absurd.

Stretching a definition to support a previous exaggeration is absurd.

- what science has brought to the table.

Includes that X cannot create X, ie; the universe cannot create itself.

The Laws of Physics are discovered, not invented.

- niv translates charity as love.

niv is correct.

"Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said:

"After more than six months of hard work and many twists and turns in the road, America sends a message to the entire world: we will not turn our back on you."

Reacting to the vote, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said it "reinforces America's role as a beacon of democracy and leader of the free world".

And... it only took 3 extra months of hostage holding by Trump's Goobers in the House before it was done.

It's a fact, they were all atheists. The extent to which that was relevant to their murdering millions of their own people may be debatable; perhaps it did matter, we don't know.

What does matters is the fact that religion isn't inherently evil, nor absurd, no matter how much one might proffer that it is.

One might infer that calling religion an absurdity is a lie... or at least merely an opinion, not a fact.

Kudos to Dawkins for finally realizing that his opinions aren't facts; for getting over being a Fundie Atheist.

is merely another way of saying, "But... but.... Somalia!".

As if to infer that as long as there is poverty somewhere in the world, Americans should just be damn glad they aren't there instead, and should kowtow to the powers that be rather than advocating laws and policies that make capitalism more of a level playing field by protecting the People from their Representatives being owned by Oligarchs.

Deficit spending tax cuts skewed to the very wealthy, laws that make unlimited money to pols 'free speech', and Supreme Court appointees who take bribes from wealthy benefactors is fair and equitable policy to those, who for the most part, inherited or lucked into wealth.

Do you know who really supports this kind of beggaring of the elites? People who are just able to get by in life with minimally adequate incomes allowed by their betters so they don't join the Revolt, and who are scared to death that with a truly level economic playing field, they wouldn't be able to compete.

#31

You mean like Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot?

'Strewth!

There are actually quite a few articles out there in reaction to Dawkins' comments...

"When you give up Christian faith, you pull the rug out from under your right to Christian morality as well. This is anything but obvious: you have to keep driving this point home, English idiots to the contrary." (Nietzsche)

Dawkins' version of atheism seems to have changed tack, and in a positive way, or at least in this interview. He has left behind the stinging attacks and is gently embracing the world that Christianity has provided.

To some, Dawkins must have suffered a brain aneurysm.

Aaron Bastoni tweeted,

"Bizarre from Dawkins, who wrote a book called The God Delusion' claiming religion was a deeply malevolent, dividing force in the world.

Now he's calling himself a cultural Christian'? Find it odd to use religion to extend your secular political points."

In comes Tom Holland, the super historian to the scene of the crime.

"Not really, because secularism & Dawkins' own brand of evangelical atheism are both expressions of a specifically Christian culture " as Dawkins himself, sitting on the branch he's been sawing through and gazing nervously at the ground far below, seems to have begun to realise."
