    Its hard to refute the origins of socialism and communism in biblical teachings:

    James 5:1

    Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. 2 Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. 4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. 5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter.

    The republicans seem emboldened to piss on the constitution.

    Calling him a socialist is ridiculous. In the rest of the world we would call him slightly left of center.

    He is not taking control over private property. Although I would be all for that tbh.

      Most Americans equate socialism with communism.

      “Whose gonna pay for it” which oddly enough they are currently asking right now. Fuckin weird right?

        and democratic socialism with communism

        and social democracy with communism

        and liberalism with communism

        maybe years of red scare propaganda and complete lack of education didn’t really help them develop good political sense.

        Indeed, socialism is thriving amongst the US corporations and farmers. Plenty of ignorant hypocritical asswipes in the MAGA ranks.

    Chip Roy is Ted Cruz’s sycophant to be clear about the hierarchy of maga stupidity. His ignorant bigoted white supremacist hated overflows but some highlights are wanting to kill the COVID vaccine to let waiting for a natural herd immunity kill tens of millions of Americans and blamed COVID deaths on immigrants.

        Treating Really Undesirable Motherfuckers Poorly ACT. The aim of the bill is to mandate that citizens continually shout at fascists when they appear in public. This also calls on chefs and cooks to incorporate jizz into each dish they prepare for a fascist. Hotels would be required to kick the fascists out somewhere between 2-3am each night.

          We will make allowances for female chefs or chefs who can’t produce jizz in the moment, by allowing them to simply spit into the dish.

      that’s what you needed to do before you let fascists take the reigns.

      it’s still crazy to me that Biden and every democrat called him a fascist but did nothing to stop fascism and when he won they sat down with him and shook hands and gave the keys to the entire system to a fascist.

      like, ok. this is what you get. if you don’t stop them, they’ll stop you.

      Depends on the country. Some have communist parties, like the PCF in France or the PCE in Spain. They aren’t big though.

      That’s the neat part, the definition is whatever is most convenient for them in any given moment. They’ll define the most milquetoast liberal as a socialist if they get in their way.

      I know they designed a great diagonal blade that made the blade go through in one go rather than the original designs that had to go a few times before they got through the neck.

      I think they should use the original blade designs. It would make for a much better waiting game for those in line to go, they get to guess how many drops it will take before their turn. It’s not that I want to be cruel, I just want them to really think about the question “should I have paid them enough to live?”

    you know if these fuckers existed prior to 1776 they’d want to “deport” the founding fathers. Hell if Jesus came back today they’d deport him too.

    Funny, for a bunch of “good old boys” who made like they couldn’t’ figure out how to say his name, they sure figured it out when they had to, didn’t they?

    Also, this particular dipshit is running against “MAGA” Mayes Middleton in a primary runoff, with both calling the other insufficiently conservative. A pox upon both their houses.

    Flagrant display of a disregard or lack of knowledge of the basic rules and laws that define our government operation like this should carry the penalty of immediate suspension and removal. If you’re going to propose something this obviously petty and stupid, you shouldn’t be in a position of power.

    Also, they need to stop using “deport.” The correct term is “exile.” Deportation refers to a foreigner being expelled from a country. Exile is the removal of a citizen from their home country. See also: Napoleon
