It always amazes me how fearful and bigoted Xtianists are. Always.
Right Wingers are always looking over their shoulder and pre-emptively hating on everybody and everything they don't understand or fear.
I thought I'd read the lowest of the low concerning this administration but creating a University to entrap and deport foreign students is a new low. Yep, I have not forgotten the kids in cages, but f*ck cheeto.
XOXO
I read the link: "a real attack on religious liberty" in China. And surely we must be thankful we in the US do not experience anything like that. BUT ... I think we often just fall back on that excuse to let things pass. And the minute we let ourselves say,"We don't really have it so bad," is when it really will only get worse.
I appreciate the Freedom From Religion Foundation and all the work they do.
Sixpence: It's amazing how they've so totally defined themselves by what they're against. And then they wonder why their own younger generation is bailing out.
No Thoughts: The point of that link is that the fundies in this country are always complaining about their "religious liberty" being "attacked" every time they can't discriminate against gays or harass people outside abortion clinics or whatever. Christians in China really are having their religious liberty attacked. The fundies here need to remember what that actually looks like. Being prevented from forcing your own taboos on other people isn't an infringement on your religious liberty.
Love the turf-roofed houses on the Faroe Islands! And oh my, those "toxic" lesbian relationships, LOL!

This is at least the second time the DHS ran the phony university scam - they got caught with the University of Northern New Jersey several years ago. Can we get rid of the DHS now?

You might be interested in this (humorous) post about Russia's secret weapon. Hint: Ketchup is involved.

Finally, since you love goofy newspaper (and other) errata, you might be interested in a correction which clarifies that Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman was not injured by an IUD (intrauterine device). That and other hilarious corrections can be found in this Twitter Thread .
HAHA! I barely got started and was already laughing with the first link about signs. Who doesn't like ASS. fudge?
And would this time of year be any fun without the annual war on Christmas rage?
