teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Yup. This is the fear-monger twat who lied about the pandemic because he didn’t want to cause a panic. All the while, leaders the world over told people what was what. I don’t recall people in Germany, the UK, Spain, France, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand or Mexico losing their collective shit when told, ‘There’s a really dangerous disease out there. Here’s how to protect yourself.’

Apparently the original surviving cast of the Princess Bride got togethet for a virtual reunion to raise money for the Democrats and...
...Ted Cruz got upset because it's one of his favourite movies.
Cary Elwes told him he could join in if he left the Fire Swamp.

Trump thinks he's a tough guy
Quote:A crowd of Trump supporters ran enthusiastically to the barricades as Macho Man by gay pop icons Village People blared on the loudspeaker as part of the president’s rally in Nevada, Vanity Fair reports.
Presumably the track was chosen to represent Trump, who has notoriously small hands, as a tough guy.
It’s ironic that the gay anthem was played at a Republican rally given the party’s record on opposing LGBTIQ rights.
The Village People join a long list of acts who have asked the Trump campaign to stop using their music including Adele, Aerosmith, The Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, Eddy Grant, Elton John, Guns N’ Roses, Linkin Park, Luciano Pavarotti, Neil Young, Nickelback, Panic At The Disco, Pharrell Williams, Queen, REM and Rihanna, as well as the estates of Prince, Leonard Cohen and Tom Petty.
The Rolling Stones are reportedly taking legal action after their denial of permission to use requests were ignored.

Quote:Trump could end up at Rikers Island jail by the end of 2023 if he loses re-election: Legal experts
The criminal case against him is already in the works — and it could go to trial sooner than you think.
More than a dozen investigations are already under way against him and his associates. Even if only one or two of them result in criminal charges, the proceedings that follow will make the O. J. Simpson trial look like an afternoon in traffic court.
I spoke with some of the country’s top prosecutors, defense attorneys, and legal scholars. For the past four years, they have been weighing the case against Trump: the evidence already gathered, the witnesses prepared to testify, the political and constitutional issues involved in prosecuting an ex-president. Once he leaves office, they agree, there is good reason to think Trump will face criminal charges.
They’ll have plenty of potential charges to choose from. Both Mueller and the Senate Intelligence Committee — a Republican-led panel — have extensively documented how Trump committed obstruction of justice (18 U.S. Code § 73), lied to investigators (18 U.S. Code § 1001), and conspired with Russian intelligence to commit an offense against the United States (18 U.S. Code § 371). All three crimes carry a maximum sentence of five years in prison — per charge. According to legal experts, federal prosecutors could be ready to indict Trump on one or more of these felonies as early as the first quarter of 2021.

Here's a digital ad run by the Trump campaign:
![[Image: httpscdn.i-scmp.comsitesdefaultfilesstyl...102553.jpg]](https://cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/httpscdn.i-scmp.comsitesdefaultfilesstyles768x768publicd8imagesmethode20200915d4fac6ee-f6f6-11ea-a41c-8cbd1416100a_image_hires_102553.jpg)
This doesn't mesh well at all with Trump's repeated claim that he's tough on Russia. Those jets are Russian MiG-29s. 'Well, ok,' some Trumpites might say. 'This shows American soldiers facing off against the Russki threat!' Which might work, except that the soldier on the right is carrying an AK-74. This is what happens when you use a stock photo and don't check the content.
The buffoonery of these people never ceases to amaze me.

The squatter in chief is bitching about iran allegedly plotting to assassinate a us ambassador. Promising retaliation, just like he does against us citizens.
Probably should have thought about that before he got into the assassination game.
