The American people have been at war for 23 years. It’s not like previous wartimes we’ve faced. The enemy is not a sovereign nation, but faceless evildoers wherever they may hide. The consequences of this war are also different, but very clear. Strain on the very fabric of society has pushed our democracy to the edge of failure, as politically stoked violence from within consumes a divided nation. Gun violence. Hate crimes. Violence against immigrants & citizens alike. We need unity above all.
This is about all of us. This isn’t about party, as much as about who deserves to benefit from America. The elite are trying to convince us that giving them all the money is best for us (because we would just waste it). So they divide us up, every possible way they can. Stoking division, so we blame each other for everything, when it’s really just a few rich fuckers that are the whole problem for the rest of us. They’re SO DESPERATE that we don’t figure it out. There’s WAY more of us than them.
It probably wasn’t what I said. Most likely the Nazi flag got it pulled from TikTok. Now just imagine George Carlin talking about Stupid People, and the slideshow below, give or take, and you’ll get the post.

Removed! Oops.A badge I’d gladly wear.HahahaIf you’re not in on the grift…Seriously. I’m sick of bad reboots.Growing is good.Seriously. Fuck off. How would you like it it they made you pray towards Mecca everyday? Freedom OF Religion means Freedom FROM Religion
In the beginning, man created God. And in his image he created Him. And when man had learned to use his God as a power to control and exploit the fears of his brother’s and sisters, he looked upon his creation and decided it was good.
In later days, Jesus came out of the desert, and tried to show people the path to inner freedom, free from the slavery to a false god and it’s creators. The same church people who created this God, put Jesus on the cross to shut him up.
Now, as we stumble blindly into the apocalypse, Jesus has come back many times since, an archetype for a stubborn world that never learns. Each time, the Church, or King or council of elders, or right-wing political party, uses their influence and power to silence His voice. Before He can get people to listen. To wake up.
The ‘religious elite’ have learned their lesson about making martyrs though, so they no longer have public trials and executions of people for heresy and witchcraft. The modern church has evolved, and secular government has replaced many of the functions previously served by religion. Now they work together.
The faceless elite, churchy or not, now know it’s much easier to ruin reputations with baseless accusations, or imprison their critics for crimes they didn’t commit. Or for treason or terrorism.
Another Jesus silenced. The power struggle continues. With Them on top, because They control everything. Except our thoughts, though They are trying to do that too, using the mainstream and social media to spread propaganda.
The voice of the next Jesus may be crying in the wilderness already. Somewhere nearby, a ‘faithful Christian’ is planning to ‘shut that heretic up’, any way possible.
(Authors disclaimer: for any MAGA moron who might read this and think, I’m talking about Trump, you are wrong!)
This is not a Christian nation. It’s a nation in which you are free to be Christian. For Now. Keep pushing this unconstitutional bullshit, forcing your beliefs upon the rest of us at your own risk. Fuck around and find out how fast we start crucifying your hypocrite asses.
Good Friday. They want you to focus on the divinity. I prefer reality, and historical fact to religious propaganda.
It’s another page of the same old story. Politicians and religious leaders conspiring together to keep the status quo, the ignorance of the masses, using it to effect control, exploiting the talents and labors of the unwary.
Jesus was no saint. He was a fucking radical. He was killed by the leaders of Israel, because he spoke out against them, and they feared a revolt. They feared that Jesus would lift the veil of ignorance, and they would lose control. So they killed him. Today, #GoodFriday is the rememberance if that day. I choose to remember Jesus for the Anarchist that he was, not the ‘Son of God’ they paint him to be.
Over the last 2000 years, his message has been repackaged by church elders and ‘scholars’, to be used to control and exploit the masses, just like before. With the help of politicians, of course. I choose to believe the truth about Good Friday, that it was more like the day they killed MLK. ~jg #Resist #ThinkForYourself
——- How Donald Trump reminds us of an important Good Friday lesson https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/donald-trump-good-friday-warning-far-right-christian-nationalism-rcna24491
Donald Trump – The ultimate tool for right-wing radicals.
To all my so-called Christian friends who voted for Trump: The rise of Evangelical sheisters and the Trump presidency were both predicted by Jesus in Matthew 24:23-25
What would Jesus do?
23 At that time if anyone says to you, `Look, here is the Christ!’ or, `There he is!’ do not believe it. 24 For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect–if that were possible. 25 See, I have told you ahead of time.
True Christians act like Christ. Name ONE thing Trump and his team did that was Christ-like. Can’t name one? Because Trump did the OPPOSITE of what Christ would do.
Open your eyes. Don’t be deceived. ~jg
Authors Note: All opinions expressed here are just that: opinions. If you don’t like mine, I probably won’t like yours either. Let’s just nod, and walk away. Maybe come back with solutions instead of opinions. Because of the two, only solutions actually matter.
Once upon a time, the Republican party stood for small government, family values, low taxes and States’ rights. Not anymore.
Honest Abe would shudder at the state of the Republican Party, The Party of Lincoln.
As an independent, I’ve voted for Republicans because they were people of honor and character. These days, it’s hard to see any truth for all of the lies.
Trumpian Republicans aren’t real Republicans. They are just using the GOP, a party that had already lost its center thanks to right-to-life extremists and an obstructionist platform, to sully the American drinking trough with the foul and muddy water of propaganda and lies.
Republicans embraced the Big Lie because they are being held hostage by the Big Liar.
Instead of embracing new technologies and sustainable energy, they spread fear and lies. Green energy will cost jobs. Clean energy is too expensive. Whatever it takes to keep things how they are.
But, it turns out that everything they say is a lie. It turns out they’ve never embraced truth or science or morality. It turns out that none of that matters to them.
The only thing they live for is party loyalty, as the party desperately clings to power. Power vested in a minority of rich white male egomaniacs, who believe they are better than the rest of us. They talk about America, but not about the America of many cultures. They mean WHITE America.

The America most of us live in is NOT the America they pursue. In their America, the strong dominate the weak. It’s every wolf for himself. Mercy and compassion are a weakness to be overcome.
They say ‘If you’re poor, you’re a failure. Probably lazy.’ The wealthy love to blame people for their predicament.

It’s time to stop blaming, and start doing something about it. It’s amazing to me that we COULD fix so many of our problems, but our leaders CHOOSE NOT TO, and Republicans lead the way in the obstruction of every policy that benefits anyone except their rich, corporate overlords.
It’s pretty obvious that the Republican party needs to change in order to survive. They will probably continue down what looks like a path to their own destruction, but it’s important to note that the GOP could seize the opportunity, and do a LOT better. Maybe even become a force for positive change.
More likely, they’ll just keep changing for the worse. ~jg
Trump Lost The Congress and The Presidency, and is currently under numerous criminal investigations, yet the GOP now demand allegiance to this loser or risk censure. Why would they back such an epic loser?
When Carter lost after one term, he went back to Georgia and started building homes for poor people with Habitat for Humanity. When HW Bush lost his 2nd bid for America’s highest office, he shut up, and went back to his country club in Connecticut, rarely to be heard from by anyone, except for woulda shoulda coulda, Iraq War, around the dinner table rants with Jr. They didn’t lead their parties afterwards, or try to demand allegiance. Their opinion no longer mattered to their parties. At all.
Because they were losers, and everyone knows losers make shitty leaders.
Everyone, that is, except the new Republican Party, who rally around their half-wit, criminal tyrant, for fear of being blacklisted. Just like Mccarthyism. Just like Putin. Just like every other authoritarian regime in history.

My advice to real Republicans: Resist.
Time to stand up and be real. Like Rep. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger. Denounce the Big Lie, and all the other lies spewed by Fox News super-Trumpers and Newsmax profiteers. Denounce the Trumpian dictatorial control over your party, and work with President Joe Biden to heal the Nation, the people who voted for you, with the Truth, vaccines, money, jobs, and food they need.
Reject Trump. Save the Republican Party and The American Democracy. No institution, however great, can stand without a foundation of Truth and Reason.
