Just remind them that Jefferson was a slave owner and they’ll flock to defend it

Sinclair was demanding one, so the fact that Kimmel did not apologize is significant.

I think the point is he doesn’t want to endorse someone before a primary happens. Presumably he will endorse whoever is the winner of the primary.

I’d respond that the parable of the Good Samaritan is specifically showing a “foreigner” (eh, nuance is hard) as the only person who helped the injured man, but that requires critical thinking and some historical context, so basically useless…

The “state’s rights” states have ALWAYS been “our state’s rights and not yours”: “our rights to own slaves” and “our rights to come into your state and find drag our runaway slaves back to our state”. This is literally the Fugitive Slave Act, but the “Fugitive Legislator Act”: we’re going to send our people into your state to arrest them and drag them back.

It literally happened

To be fair…

It was about 12 years, but that is a relatively short time. It’s about the same time we have to deal with Trump from the beginning of his first term to the end of his second, which is also an eternity (assuming that doesn’t become a literal eternity). And the First Republic kinda sucked for a ton of reasons, but it was at least technically a Republic.

But also one of those reasons is that the Republic itself was at war with basically the entirety of Europe already, which is why Napoleon was able to rise to power in the first place: he wasn’t just a dude that waltzed in and said “make me emperor”, he was the hero of the army of Italy and basically was the major (unexpected) reason that France was able to defeat Austria.

Anyway, the point is that we don’t have a Napoleon waiting in the wings to just snatch up power if it came to, say, Jacobin actions, but Napoleon took time to emerge, so we’d have at least a few years of guillotines first…

It should be Ron Howard!

He’s just imitating his hero

I don’t care that he has no rizz, I care that he continually takes credit for other people’s accomplishments that he had no hand in, and when he does take an active role, the output of those people becomes actively worse.

But, I suppose you did sum that up in “insufferable jackass”

Whoops! 😂

I think you’re the one who needs to work on your reading comprehension. The air quotes around “okay” clearly indicate that they think it is NOT okay.

Sure, but he’s Baptist, so he doesn’t want more Catholics either.

The most straightforward one is from Leviticus (one of the books that has a bunch of laws for the Israelites, including stuff like “don’t wear mixed fabrics” and rules that evolved into kosher rules, along with stuff that’s cited for “don’t be gay” (though a lot of that comes from Paul’s letters too)):

Lev 19:33-34 “When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.”

Scott was confirmed on a party-line vote, with 51 Republicans in favor and 46 Democrats opposed, along with three absences.

Literally no Democrats voted for him…

It’s ambiguous but I did not interpret it as Trump posting the newsletter.

They’re not allowed to drive on regular roads

He’s literally not allowed to. Becoming president means you’re not allowed to drive (on regular roads) ever again, even after you leave office.
