I don't know who you were talking about, all I know so far is how you were talking about them.

From Lemmy's earlier posts:

If anyone was trusting that Mike Johnson would cool his Christian nationalist jets now that he’s risen to Speaker of the House, that faith was misplaced. Johnson has been announced as the keynote speaker of a Dec. 5 gala of the National Association of Christian Lawmakers, hosted at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C.

The NACL is an overt Christian nationalist organization that seeks to give its “biblical worldview” the binding force of law. The gala website touts NACL’s agenda of “abolishing abortion,” promoting “marriage between one man and one woman,” and “exposing the ungodly effort to undermine our culture by Leftists.”

All this would be irrelevant to the people around me because David Barton was one of them. He believed the separation of church and state was a myth. He believed the time had come for evangelicals to reclaim their rightful place atop the nation’s governmental and cultural institutions. Hence the hero’s welcome Barton received when he rolled into FloodGate with his “American Restoration Tour.”


Throughout his decades of public life — working for the Republican Party, becoming a darling of Fox News, advising politicians such as new House Speaker Mike Johnson, launching a small propaganda empire, carving out a niche as the American right’s chosen peddler of nostalgic alternative facts — Barton had never been shy about his ultimate aims. He is an avowed Christian nationalist who favors theocratic rule; moreover, he is a so-called Dominionist, someone who believes Christians should control not only the government but also the media, the education system, and other cultural institutions. Barton and his ilk are invested less in advancing individual policies than they are in reconceiving our system of self-government in its totality, claiming a historical mandate to rule society with biblical dogma just as the founders supposedly intended.

Gary Click, the state representative from Ohio’s 88th House District, explained how his recent Sunday sermon had emphasized that the Buckeye State is the only one in the union with a motto (“With God All Things Are Possible”) lifted directly from the scriptures. Then Click, the senior pastor of Fremont Baptist Temple, reminded us, a crowd of a couple hundred, that November 8, 2016, was “the day Christians changed America” by electing Donald Trump and restoring hope to a nation in decline.

Sounds like a religious nutter, as described by someone who has disdain for religious nutters.

Republicans not willing to pass border deal unless it has kids in cages. Or while Biden is president.
Politico
It’s a critical moment for Biden’s $106 billion national security spending pitch, whose fate currently relies on a small group of senators coming up with a border deal that can advance alongside Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan funding.

The speech at the link. A graduation speech. How to spot an idiot.

"A federal judge cleared the way on Monday for a group of Georgia voters to move forward with legal efforts seeking to disqualify Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene from running for re-election to Congress, citing her role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. New York Times link April 2022"

I brought this up earlier. The Biden impeachment is going to have a hard time proving Biden is a criminal mastermknd.

Marjorie Taylor Greene thinks Democrats want to put her in 'reeducation camps'

"And that's our colleagues across the aisle who absolutely hate us," she opined. "They would put us in jail if they could. They would put us in reeducation camps if they could."

"They would put President Trump in jail for the rest of his life until he's dead and his family, and take away all their assets and anybody that has truly supported them and worked for them," Greene added. "And that's who the Democrat [sic] Party is."

She also said she was "disgusted with Republicans" who refused to see things the way she does.

"I'm purely disgusted with my own conference, and I'm sick and tired of all the talk and no action," she remarked. "I think it's pitiful."

I would volunteer to teach her calculus and theoretical physics in the reeducation camp. She may as well lean something about reality...

Republicans screaming about open borders.

They had 2017-2020 to shut down this border. Instead they did Trump tax cut.

She'd only shoot liberals and gays, and they're not really people...
