REPUBLICANS: "Public policies based on reason and not negative emotion and intolerance? Keeping church and state separate? Fighting against discrimination and not for discrimination? Championing free thought? We'll have none of THAT!"
Be fair, they might just as well write "I am a gay trans-Communist atheist, all over their foreheads. If they weren't lynched, they pretty much wouldn't get elected ever again I suspect.
is THAT what it is? I just KNEW there was some subtle pattern in the membership of that group that I just wasn't noticing. I though it might have been that they all had brown eyes. Or maybe that they almost all have the letter 'e' in their name. But you noticed that almost invisible detail O_o bravo.
No doubt there exists atheist, agnostic or non-religious Republicans. I will applaud the first one to have the guts to join this group, but won't hold my breath.
Agreed, regardless of political party I bet there's a lot a lot more of them in US Congress than we are aware of or that personally admit to it. I wonder how many of them randomly go to church just because it "looks good" to their constituents. Absolutely no politician should be asked what religion they are..... that question shouldn't even come up, it is completely irrelevant.
First and foremost, WELCOME LIZZIE! We're glad you joined the Congressional Freethought Caucus! Now ... any chance you can get some of your colleagues on the other side of the aisle to consider coming along, too?
In a Legislature saturated by Christianity, just 5% of House Members are courageous enough to join a caucus devoted to "freedom from religion" -- so each new member is cause for celebration.
Always nice to see a group that promotes thought, reason, and tolerance growing. Here's hoping for many more years and much higher membership in the future.
MTG, Boober and Gaytz are starting a Congressional Free-from-Thought Caucus to counter this liberal agenda. The rest of the Republican party plans to join. They'll be holding prayer breakfasts and bible readings in lieu of solving real problems.
For some reason I'm obsessed with snake handling even though I've only seen it on TV and in video. Will they be up at the front in Congress in a circle speaking in tongues like the Arizona legislature did right before the Supreme Court put in the 1864 band. Getting themselves all worked up in a tether...... with the Holy Spirit running through their body. Gyrating around.
No allegedly about it he was "campaign advisor" nudge-nudge, wink-wink. She dumped him briefly, when he drunkenly molested a republican donors wife, (who was oddly enough named "Trashelle") in front of her.
The red tie, dark suit was warning enough. Unless it's a job interview, that combo is always bad news. Though usually Baptist preachers are 'bigger-boned' than that.
You want to unite tribes of religious Christians, Jews and Muslims into a unified force, March them to a peaceful village of atheists. They will descend upon the village on their horses with swords raised to put these enemies of god to the sword and burn down their village. Remember that the Catholics wiped out Cathars in Europe who were Christians but believed in forming their own individual connection with god rather than falling in line under the pope.
They didn't have a choice. They had already wiped out Arians several centuries ago, and unlike North Africa and Middle East, Russia's climate was not attractive enough to go kill what was left of Pagans there.
Catharism has been seen as giving women the greatest opportunities for independent action, since women were found as being believers as well as Perfecti, who were able to administer the sacrament of the consolamentum.
Cathars believed that a person would be repeatedly reincarnated until they committed to self-denial of the material world. A man could be reincarnated as a woman and vice versa. The spirit was of utmost importance to the Cathars and was described as being immaterial and sexless. Because of this belief, the Cathars saw women as equally capable of being spiritual leaders."
Ok. We can just acknowledge a misunderstanding with an error on both our parts. Not being MAGAs or THE Great Cloaca, we let it go, unlike TRUMPUM who would say “this is the greatest miscommunication in the history of the world.
Congressional Freethought Caucus! Yes. Like somebody opened a window and let in the fresh air. All for it. And I'm Catholic. Great! Never heard of them before. All for it.
It will revert back to 15 weeks for now - and hopefully there will be an abortion ballot Amendment ready for voters November 2024. They have more than enough signatures required to put the ballot to vote.
I don't think so because the Arizona legislature is somewhat evenly split, even though the Republicans have the majority, slim. and AZ ballot measure is based on simple majority, not 60% like Florida. The anti-abortionist stalked the pro choice volunteers throughout signature campaign. The pro-choice ballot needed something like 384,000 signatures to be put out to vote, they are already over 500,000 and still have a few months left to gather more signatures.
And still Republican-free.

Their gods are dead, their "faith" is in tatters. All they have left are threats and name calling.

(I love a healthy dose of sarcasm with my coffee)

As soon as they out themselves as non-Christian, the rest of the Republicans would descend on them like hyenas on Scar.

Of course, they could join this group and still be Christian. That no one has speaks volumes of their fear of their constituents.
Yes. No requirement other than an allegiance to reason. That definitely eliminates the fundamentalist types.
And the vast majority of those who still call themselves Republican.

One can always hope!

Only Caucasians can join their Caucus.
So same as it ever was...
Exactly...
sO SAME-OLD SAME-OLD
Will snake handling be done each Monday morning?

Nice to have ya on the side of sanity, Lizzie!
You missed a pun. Allow me.
"Nice to see you on this side of the Borden with insanity, Lizzie."
Let me axe you a question….
I am afraid I have to cut our discussion. I need to eat.
Lol

Sorry, I just couldn't resist this. I've no idea who the human beings are I must confess.
The second guy is Corey Lewandowski. A Trump henchman that had an affair with Noem (allegedly).
Ahhhhhhhhhhh ... Now it makes much more sense. Her husband, her alleged lover, and her puppy. I wouldn't want to be any of them to be honest.
No allegedly about it he was "campaign advisor" nudge-nudge, wink-wink. She dumped him briefly, when he drunkenly molested a republican donors wife, (who was oddly enough named "Trashelle") in front of her.

Husband and the guy she is cucking him with.
🎯I hope, for his sake they have an open marriage.
Like mtg?
Since he's still with her, he's either as awful as she is, or terrified of ending up like the dog.
Probably the latter, you know what they say about sticking your dick in crazy...
Yeah, but it's supposed to be a crazy vs. hot scale. You're supposed to go north of the line, he went way east.
No, I don't. But I can imagine.😇
Republican Jesus smiles upon her.
Is it necessary to call them other than "baby batter maker" and "sextoy" ?
Don't say sex toy in Texas you might get arrested....
I am crazy but not enough to set foot in your country.

Also they believed women were equals, which other than the king wanted their land, had much to do with it.
Was that satire? Equal?
From Wiki because I'm lazy.
"Role of women
Catharism has been seen as giving women the greatest opportunities for independent action, since women were found as being believers as well as Perfecti, who were able to administer the sacrament of the consolamentum.
Cathars believed that a person would be repeatedly reincarnated until they committed to self-denial of the material world. A man could be reincarnated as a woman and vice versa. The spirit was of utmost importance to the Cathars and was described as being immaterial and sexless. Because of this belief, the Cathars saw women as equally capable of being spiritual leaders."

On me. When pronouns used instead of nouns I often misinterpret. I thought you were saying something different.
I do that a lot, I know what I mean, but say it in an abbrieviated fashion, which does not convey all that I wish to.
Ok. We can just acknowledge a misunderstanding with an error on both our parts. Not being MAGAs or THE Great Cloaca, we let it go, unlike TRUMPUM who would say “this is the greatest miscommunication in the history of the world.
“She now sits in a reliably blue seat (after a GOP-led redistricting)”
In a Congressional district that looks like a character from Ren and Stimpy who got squashed by a steamroller.
Yay democracy.

Good. Baby steps but still good.

OT: Breaking: The 1864 Abortion Ban Law has just got repealed!

What now do you think?
The Rethugs' prayers and "Speaking in Tongues" didn't work, did it?
I want someone to write that on Xitter! (The x is pronounced "sh").
And here I've been pronouncing it "godawful X/Bird app."
Xitter is so much easier. :)
Maybe if they "𝑆𝑝𝑒𝑎𝑘 𝐸𝑛𝑔𝑙𝑖𝑠ℎ 𝑙𝑖𝑘𝑒 𝑎𝑛 𝐴𝑚𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑛𝑠!" they would be understood.

Thanks – I was wondering, not being American.
Yes, but, will the repukelicans pass laws to undermine it like they do here in Floriduh?
I don't think so because the Arizona legislature is somewhat evenly split, even though the Republicans have the majority, slim. and AZ ballot measure is based on simple majority, not 60% like Florida.

They wouldn't be repukes if they didn't.
And it definitely helps that the governor and AG of Arizona are Democrats not Republicans.
Read that in my newspaper this morning. Good!
Kudos to Rep. Fletcher for answering the call of Kuato: "Open your mind."
A call recently echoed by Morty in the Rick & Morty episode "Wet Kuat American Summer".
Brilliantly funny episode.
That's awesome! We need many more too, but I take it one day at a time.
