They need to randomly breathalyzer him. If he’s found to have any alcohol in his system, it a felony. The second in command of our military services is a raging alcoholic. I live with one a couple years ago. You can not trust them with you Pets let alone Military lives. If you have family or friends in the military I would tell them to demand Sneaky Pete isn’t blacked out drank when sending troops and Iranians to their deaths. Freaking crazy. Drug Test Pete! He’s obviously drunk every time on TV but no one is calling it out.
I’m Episcopalian. One of my mentors was a wonderful old bishop who once noted that Christianity goes through a sort of 500-year cycle where we see segments of the church get real wealthy and in bed with political power, followed by a group that seeks reforms, who then themselves become the “in-group.” The Protestant Reformation happened about 500 years ago, protesting the wealth and political hegemony of the Roman Catholic Church…
Watching the Western world the past several decades has convinced me that we’re witnessing Protestantism’s “high medieval era” moment. I wonder what the new reformation will look like? It’ll probably all happen a lot quicker than the Protestant Reformation’s process did.
I kinda hope the new one will be an actual, ACTUAL “love thy neighbor” Christianity.
Yeah I like the Satanists too
Love thy neighbour and fuck his wife?
That’s what it’s all about, just like they did in old Muenster 😉
Oh I’m gonna loooove asking my MAGA Catholics about this!
Are there any? Pope has made it clear maga is not aligned with Catholic Church
The vice president?
Really?
I honestly didn’t know that cause I thought the circle was all “Evangelical” or at least posing as that.

He’s a cultish cuntish Catholic like Thiel. In fact he probably converted to demonstrate his servility to Thiel.
And Vance made the rookie mistake of lecturing the Pope on some of his cultish bullshit. For a person devoid or charisma or original ideas, he really is an arrogant shit.
Yes, there are absolutely Catholics to the left of the pope, less than under Francis but still.
The whole “trad-cath” movement is essentially a rejection of Vatican II reforms. Hell, Nick Fuentes is Catholic
you mean to the right of the pope no? unless you mean the one who liked the high price shoes.
As the Pentagon doesn’t
hostpromote services for the holidays of other religions to the same extent as they do for evangelical Protestantism, this is a clear violation of the separation of church and state.Edit: Highlighted corrections to the above statement in italics.
Just add it to all the other violations.
I’ll just put this violation with the other violations, then…
Unfortunately, it’s added to the list of “so sue me” which is basically this administration response on anything they have done in the last year and change
What are you going to do about it? Is the only question that matters to this gangster Administration.
The Constitution allows for the possibility of a gangster Administration. Checks and balances. The hope was that the Supreme Court and Congress would keep the executive branch in check.
The Constitution also recognizes that no system is perfect, so it adds the right to bear arms. Not for sport. Not for defense. The Second Amendment exists specifically to fight tyranny. Just in case the elections get rigged and an extremist party takes control.
Such an unlikely scenario, amiright?
…the argument your making about the 2nd amendment is why it’s now obsolete. When America was founded, firearms could actually be used to overthrow a corrupt government. They had practical utility. At this point, however, half the population armed with assault rifles wouldn’t make a difference. A combination of the government’s mass surveillance and superior firepower would put down the rebellion before it got off the ground
I’m of the opinion that the constitution should adjust to changing times. 18th century laws aren’t geared to solve 21st century issues.
When America was founded, firearms could actually be used to overthrow a corrupt government.
There are almost no cases in history where this happened. And the big driver for the 2nd was southern states wanting to put down slave rebellions, and all the states wanting to continue their genocide of Native Americans. A citzenry with muskets might not survive a battle with a real military, but it sure as shit could overpower some enslaved people trying to resist and some pre-industrial people with bows and arrows.
I don’t buy this. Controlling firearms and restricting who exactly can join a militia was a common strategy for preventing rebellions at the time the United States was founded.
The 2nd amendment has nothing to do with giving armies firearms. The people responsible for putting down slave revolts were always armed.
Totally agree with you, a handgun is no match for a tank. If the military wants to make war on citizens, they will lose.
However, there is more going on that meets the eye. Many members of the military would not want to shoot their own citizens. And armed citizens can still do more damage than unarmed citizens. In other words, the 2A forces an authoritarian administration to use violence in order to repress the citizens. It ups the stakes. And citizens can strike in ways that the military can’t. Guerilla warfare tactics. They don’t need to “win”, they just need to disrupt, to spread fear.
But, yeah, with the current surveillance state, along with the culpability of the media, it seems a dubious proposition that armed citizens can save themselves from the fascists. Regardless, I have suddenly become a HUGE proponent of guns. Especially when I see the Black Panthers providing security for demonstrators. Respect.
Many members of the military would not want to shoot their own citizens.
Which has nothing to do with the second amendment. That’d be equally true whether the citizens are armed or not. Actually, more likely to be true if they’re not armed.
They have their advantages. They aren’t particularly good at protecting a person since a person that owns or wields a firearm is much, much, much more likely to be stabbed or shot. The other person in the altercation needs to kill or disable them to preserve their own life.
Firearms do, however, make a great store of wealth. If a gun owner ever needs money, they can easily make a profit…especially on the black market. This is arguably one of the most important benefits from the perspective of gun owners. The value of a gun increases with inflation.
And us Atheists who point out that all the various Gods are fucking fanfic have to shut up and take it
The drunk bastard is turning the Pentagon into a church and the US military will become the Christian version of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
Anti-theists are stuck in the classic bigot’s dilemma.
On the one hand, they hate the administration. On the other, they love religious discrimination.
Oh wow I’m learning things about myself now that you have told me what I think.
They…are?
These fascists are NOT religious, they’re pandering to the evangelicals, sheep and muggles.
They’re the biblical definition of evil and corruption incarnate.
This is literally what “taking the Lord’s name in vain” is (it’s not yelling “God Fucking Damn It” when you stub your teo).
Not really, im just annoying any tax dollars at all are going to a religious service, Protestant or catholic or pastafarian
