For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with diverse lusts,
Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was.
But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
~2nd Timothy 3:1-17
It's Thanksgiving.
I saw this earlier.
Former Republican Representative Jason Chaffetz spent $114.02 on about the Wokest most designer expensive-ass Turkey possible and then...blamed Joe Biden. I've...never spent more than like $50-$60 for ALL of my Thanksgiving food in my life. (And I used to be a line cook, do the math.)
I, on the other hand, spent $6.98 for a Turkey on my Mom's behalf this afternoon when we went to the store, because there was a limit of one per person for that particular special.
My Mom already has her Thanksgiving meal planned, she got steaks like last week, because they were on sale. The turkeys are for the cats and dogs. I spent like $15 on several days worth of stuff for Turkey sandwiches.
It's not just that most of us can't afford some $114.02 designer Turkey, it's literally that we don't want to. And we're sure as hell not going to blame no Joe Biden for it.
Nor is it somehow Joe's fault if we want one!
One almost has to wonder just what the hell these "Former Things" are, that these fucking people claim to support...because
basic decency or
honesty sure is
not among them.
You can whore it
way the fuck up in all the fake-ass "Americanism" (
that you don't obey anyway) and Latin-rite "Traditionalist Catholicism," social "Conservatism" and assorted Unga Bunga horseshit that you'd like...and you'd
still be a lying sack of shit.
I don't understand how all these alleged conservatives...of
all the fucking people...
don't understand this.
Unless it was all a Lie and their only "Value" is unrestrained hatred of some "Other."
It's fucking Thanksgiving, have these fucking people no sense of shame??
Oh, wait.
I guess,
literally, not.
There was a deadly high-speed accident (resulting in an explosion) at the Rainbow Bridge in Niagara Falls, NY today and FOX News tried like hell to spin it as some kind of terrorist attack, half-ass retracting all their bullshit as the facts came in and it turned out to be nothing more than a deadly accident...and on Thanksgiving, no less...Jesus, how much is that going to fuck up a whole bunch of people's holiday??
The Fox News idiots are just that goat-eager to try and find something...anything...to try and smear Joe Biden.
Because it's all a game to them and subjecting other people to their puerile bullshit is literally the only important thing in the world. "Former things" my ass.
I'm
tired of these fucking people and their constant infantile bullshit.
Twitter got itself caught up in yet another Antisemitism scandal...bad enough that a boatload more advertisers and a majority of the major accounts that I follow have left the platform (and now I've functionally done the same.)
And somehow this is the fault of Media Matters For America and other assorted investigative journalists for pointing it out...like I couldn't have told you from what I've observed over the last year or so that Twitter has been being overwhelmed by a grim tide of extremism, Nazi shit, porn (like I've literally seen open porn accounts on Twitter and it did no good to report that shit) and religious fuckery for over a year now??
I did not need Media Matters to tell me that.
And a few Republican state governments...principally Texas...are rushing to Elon's defense.
When these motherfuckers say "Freedom of Speech" they mean "We want to call Black people N*****'s" and that's literally about it.
They don't
give a damn if the world burns, otherwise, or if
every damn thing they
ever said they believed in before gets burned to the ground. The hate and the racism are the
only things that matter to them. If we're being honest, I'd say too much of 50 years of pre-Trump conservatism either failed to take all this into account or was simply cover for it, and willingly so.
And for the record, even plenty of those people...the ones who are still with us, anyway...have been cast into the Outer Darkness by Trumpism and the rising fascism that's increasingly just outright replacing it...and you can literally be, for all intents and purposes, a fascist or religious nut-bag with a pedigree in far-right shit going back decades...and if you've displeased Trump in any way or said anything bad at all about him whatever, you might as well be a far-left Rainbow-flag-waving Democrat to these fucking people!
About the only things dudes like Donald Trump or Elon Musk could even do that would alienate their followers at this point is tell them not to be dicks to LGBT folk or People of Color or profess a belief in democracy, freedom, and inalienable human rights...and actually say so clearly and mean it.
And the rest of us need to start dealing with this bullshit, start punching Nazis at the dinner table, and so on...because force and pain are pretty much the only stimuli a lot of these fucking people understand, aside from maybe being cut off from their sources of narcissistic gratification, facing criminal charges or getting fired from their jobs, but there's such a right-wing sympathy-industrial-complex at this point, that for a lot of these assholes if they can avoid a punch in the mouth...they just spew a bunch of crocodile tears and don't have to learn anything.
And if we don't make this shit stop, it's eventually going to end in blood, because American "Conservatives" have looked at Putin's re-Sovietized Russia...and since it's not
them dying on the battlefields of Ukraine, they're Okay with that...they've decided
that's what they'd rather be, if only because the cruelty is the point. Same fucking people gladly threw in with Hamas when Israel got attacked, if
only because Democrats went full bore on support for the Israelis.
Seriously, what the fuck kind of life do you even get to have when the
only thing that's important to you is constantly finding some political "Stick" with which to beat some imagined Other Guy??
Seems like a hell of a way to live, if you ask me.
I couldn't do it.
Think about that, this Thanksgiving.
Hate ain't the reason for the season.
Слава Україна!

Hess: So what shall we toast to, boys? I can blather on about “To health” or “To success,” but I’d like to do somethin’ a little less rote. Where you from, Brown Eyes?
Migs Mayfield: How ’bout a toast to Operation Cinder?
Hess: Now there’s a man who knows his history.
Mayfield: No, I don’t just know it. I lived it. I was in Burnin Konn.
Hess: Burnin Konn?
Mayfield: Mmm.
Hess: That was a hard day. I had to make many unpleasant decisions.
Mayfield: Yes, you did. Entire city gone in moments, along with everybody in it. We lost our whole division that day. Man, that was like 5-10,000 people.
Hess: Yep. All heroes of the Empire.
Mayfield: Yeah. And all dead.
Hess: Well, it’s a small sacrifice for the greater good, son.
Mayfield: Depends on who you ask, don’t you think?
Hess: [irritated] What you gettin’ at, trooper?
Mayfield: All those people, the ones who died, was it good for them? Hmm? Their families? The guys I served with? Civilians, those poor mud scuffers, died defending their homes, fighting for freedom. Was it good for them?
Hess: But we’ve outlasted them, son. They’re eating themselves alive. The New Republic is in complete disarray, and we grow stronger. You see, with the rhydonium you’ve delivered, we can create havoc that’s gonna make Burnin Konn pale by comparison. And then they’re gonna turn to us once again. You see, boys, everybody thinks they want freedom, but what they really want is order. And when they realize that, they’re gonna welcome us back with open arms. Ah. To the Empire.
