This follows on Trump calling Milley a traitor who should be put to death. And Milley might be a witness in an upcoming Trump trial.

People who don't deserve to be shot for treason don't generally choose such language.

That might qualify as a violation of his COR.

And like all bullies, when he gets called on the carpet he will roll out the "I Was Just Joking" defense.

Which is not a defense.

This is not a parody. A good portion of the country would usher in a Christian nationalist idiocracy if they could.

Quote:Far-right 'Moms for Liberty' group demands schools stop exposing kids to 'sexy' pictures of seahorses

On Friday, The Daily Beast reported that a far-right group in Williamson County, Tennessee, is demanding schools censor a number of books and subjects — including an unusual demand regarding pictures of marine life.

Among their demands are that lessons about Martin Luther King, Jr. and Ruby Bridges be cut for being divisive, lessons about civil rights crackdowns be cut for "negative views of firemen and police," and lessons about Galileo be revised for being too anti-church. The story of Johnny Appleseed was also condemned as "sad and dark," Greek and Roman mythology for depicting the goddess Venus naked, and textbooks explaining the effects of hurricanes as too violent for first graders.

But one of the oddest crusades of the group is against a children's picture book on seahorses, which they believe, according to Weill, "is too sexy."

"MFL's Williamson County chapter also takes issue with a picture book about seahorses, in part because it depicted 'mating seahorses with pictures of postions [sic] and discussion of the male carrying the eggs,'" said the report. "The Daily Beast reviewed the text in question via a children's story time YouTube channel. Readers looking for a Kama Sutra of seahorse sex will be disappointed. Sea Horse: The Shyest Fish In The Sea contains nothing more risqué than watercolor illustrations of two seahorses holding tails or touching bellies (never — heavens — at the same time)."

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"

Apparently, his ‘windmill noise causes cancer’ claim wasn’t loopy enough. Trump is now claiming that offshore wind farms are making whales crazy.

I know this is not the 2024 Presidential Election thread, but I watched a lot of the Republican Debate on FOX tonight, and I honestly feel much dumber than I should have become from watching all the dumb things said on that debate and the republicans fighting each other there. I also doubt these republicans on the debate would deliver on any of the promises they say they would make if they became elected.
