Pro$perity Je$u$

Why is the Super Bowl going to air two "Jesus. He gets us." commercials during the upcoming Super Bowl?

Answer: Because an unknown Xtian-based agency is giving the NFL $20 million dollars to broadcast them.

Who is this Jesus guy, anyway? I've never heard of him. Have you? I guess whoever this mystery agency is believes they can make a lot of money from him, or her. All he, or she, needs is a little exposure before a football-loving demographic. Hey! It worked for the Apple Macintosh.

Anyway, good luck to them. I'll be keeping an eye out for this Jesus thing and I hope it fares better than the Segway.

Prosperity Jesus is a real, ghastly thing.

A question on Reddit today (Presumably to Americans): "Why are you pro-gun?"

Typical answer: "I'm scared of unspecified stuff so I want to be able to remedy the situation by putting big holes in it."

Worst answer possible.

Because very VERY few of us will ever be in a situation that requires us to end the life of another person in order to save our own. Meanwhile, the second half of the Second Amendment provides cover for all the true crazies out there, with primitive social skills, as they arm themselves to the teeth.

Long story short, they're saying "We need guns to protect ourselves from people with guns."

Pure madness.

And for those who say "We need the 2A to protect this country from tyrants", well, if given the opportunity, the "visitors" to the Capitol on January 6th would have gladly used force of arms to KEEP a tyrant in office.

FYI: Among the 11,000 replies to the question (so far) I saw but one reference of "To put food on the table." There may of been other such answers but they weren't in the top tier.

-----------------

There's a very popular sub-Reddit called /r/fuckcars, and it's for those who imagine a world without automobiles.

There's also a sub-Reddit called /r/fuckguns.

It's been banned for.... reasons.

What a surprise.

-----------------

Exxon (alone) made $56 billion dollars in profit last year. Record profit.

I wonder if punishably high gas prices we recently endured had anything to do with the inflation we experienced in 2022. The very inflation that Republicans blamed on Biden and used to take the House.

Answer: Yes. Fuck yes!

-----------------

I believe that President Joe Biden is sincere about shifting the U.S. away from fossil fuels and into renewable energy so I think it'd be a significant symbolic gesture on his part if he converted his Corvette to battery power.

It'd go faster with Tesla guts anyway.

------------------

I have a feeding station on the porch for stray neighborhood cats.

Currently Dallas is in the grip of an ice storm so birds are having trouble foraging, which means they're gobbling up my cat chow like it's an all-you-can-eat annelid buffet.

Which means, in a morbid sense, cat food is eating my cat food.

The GQP in the pockets of the megarich. Along with most of out tax dollars.
Greed is good. Unless you only get 18 miles to the gallon.
For once he listened to his lawyers.
TFG has already confessed to the crime. Claiming it was too long ago and the statute of limitations protects him.
Lefty has it down cold. "Hand over all your money and we won't burn you at the stake when we take over."

BTW: The local groundhog saw his shadow this AM which means WE will have 6 more weeks of Winter instead of just 42 days.

YMMV, I hope.

Re: the 5th Amendment x 400

Normally TFG has trouble staying "on message", but even he can stay "on message" when the message is just two words: "Same answer".

His trainers have trained him well.

Let us sing a hymn

If Jesus saves then he'd better save himself
from the gory glory seekers who use his name in death

I saw the Bible the last batch of House Rebs used. It was redacted so hard it was nothing but solid black pages.

To Quote George Carlin:
“Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time!

But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't handle money!”

Joel Osteen & David Green are not helping.

If the Supreme Court is serious about the Original Intent of the Constitution they need to revisit the "well regulated militia" part of the 2nd.
Ever since the need to track down runaway slaves has disappeared their usefulness is gone.
The Supremes gutted much of the Civil Rights act since discrimination has ceased to occur, as far as they can tell. Slavery is also long gone, at least officially. Its time to do the same with the 2nd Amendment.

Exxon is primarily owned by Charles Koch, enough said there.

An argument about the pro-gun folks who align themselves with the prepper crowd is: To protect my family." Translation: If Putin does decide to nuke us well I would rather shoot my fellow man then let him have a bowl of soup and a couple of slices of homemade day old bread.

Obviously, the right knows nothing about tyranny.

Jesus: No matter how little you may have, if you share your money with your pastor or your televangelist it will come back to you a hundredfold.
Even if your children go hungry, even if you can’t afford medicine, even if you have no job, send them your money.
Because God knows money is everything! You understand me? Money! Send your money! money! money! money! money!
