Texas School District Bans The Bible. For Realzies.
Quote:A Texas school district has pulled all versions of the Bible and the graphic novel version of Anne Frank’s Diary from its library shelves ahead of the start of the school year. The ban happened in Keller, Texas—a suburb in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex with a population just under 40,000.

That was the trick. They knew, politically...they needed to run on it...but they knew...politically, that the worst thing that could happen.....to them...was someone actually doing it.

One must be careful what one asks for. The irony is that the library people are also probably staunch xtians...like that has any meaning, given the cafeteria approach most take. I has amuse.

Rick Astley has recreated the iconic 'Never Gonna Give You Up' music video
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"

Trump Had a Plan for Secret Documents if He Was Arrested: Ex-Lawyer
Quote:Donald Trump's former personal attorney Michael Cohen believes that the former president's alleged possession of "sensitive" classified documents at Mar-a-Lago was kept deliberately as a "get out of jail free" card should he be arrested for potential felonies.
[…]
"The second they would put him in handcuffs, he would turn around and say I have the documentation showing, for example, where our nuclear launch pads are," Cohen told CNN. "This is what I believe: He would use it and say, if you proceed with this, I'm telling you right now there are 20 of my loyal supporters, you don't know who they are, but we will release that information to Russia, to Iran, to whoever it might be."
It never ceases to amaze me how low Trump can get. Every time you see him do something so bad that you think “surely, there’s no way my opinion of Trump could get any lower,” it’s like Trump says:
I look forward to seeing what depths he’ll sink to after this is proven. But then again, it’s hard to imagine how he can top potentially facilitating the nuclear destruction of his own country out of sheer spite. I dunno, cannibalism? Baby fucking?

With all due respect, I wouldn’t trust Michael Cohen as far as I could comfortably spit a rat. The locations of your land-based nuclear weapons aren’t exactly a secret.

Okay, admittedly, I read this and assumed he meant he knew the location if the launch codes, which would be a much bigger deal. And given that Michael Cohen probably knows how Trump’s mind and business works better than anyone who isn’t actively allied with him, I’m inclined to think he might be right.

Cohen will say literally anything to get air time.
And if he meant nuclear launch codes, everybody already knows where they are - in the President’s pocket. And they’re changed daily. Cohen doesn't know what he's talking about. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_Codes
