Big government would have you believe it’s unnatural to have teeth growing from your eye. But if you read the Bible you would know that we all came from Adam and Eve. There needed to be lots of cousin fucking to populate the planet from there.

The bible also has a story about some girls getting their dad drunk so they could have sex with him because they wanted babies. Weird shit, yo.

Resurrecting Countervailing Power (Why American capitalism is so rotten, Part 9)...
For the first three decades after the Second World War, America built the largest middle class the world had ever seen — and the most buoyant democracy.
The arrangement was far from perfect, but with the addition of civil rights and voting rights, subsidized health care (Medicare and Medicaid), and a huge expansion of public education, democracy was on the way to making capitalism work for the vast majority.
Then came a giant U-turn, largely courtesy of Ronald Reagan.
Deregulation, privatization, globalization, and the unleashing of finance created the Full Monty: abandoned factories and communities, stagnant wages, widening inequality, a shrinking middle class, political corruption, and shredded social support.
I love how conservatives will cherry pick passages from the bible to further their cause.
In Leviticus, is "allowed" as per God's commands, so why is it a moral sin these days?

Well they’re trying to legalize it so..

So dumb.
The punctuation and sentence structure is physically causing me pain. One of the most fascinating parts of social media was learning most politicians couldn't pass a middle school English class.
Remember which political party made it a priority to repeal Roe vs Wade and has outlawed abortion all across America - in November, when you cast your next general election vote.
The same motherfuckers want to steer America back to the 1940s, remove civil rights, remove human rights, kill social security/medicare/medicaid, outlaw divorce and basically make all you women and colored folks nice, safe and controllably docile again.

Do you realize that first cousins can marry in many jurisdictions, including mine (Canada)? Criminal in Canada is limited to direct bloodline (children, parents, grandparents...) and siblings. The marriage act uses a similar rule. Social convention is certainly not in favour of cousins marrying or screwing around, but it is not illegal.
That said, it is a rather odd issue to hang your election campaign on. Surely there's more pressing issues he could target.

Yes, I'm aware that first cousins can marry in many jurisdictions. I'm also aware that there are varying degrees of that aren't illegal in many jurisdictions. I'm not in need of a lesson on the legalities of , so I'm not sure why you felt compelled to provide me with one. Social conventions aside, clearly this gentleman's campaign refers to legalizing a particular form of in jurisdictions where it isn't currently legal.

Indeed. Which is why I said "Legalizing is one hell of a platform."

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
Let’s not judge to quickly. When is Boebert dropping her album?
Swifties are more zealots than most Catholics at this point. I wouldn’t go picking a fight if I were the Republicans.
Although I wouldn’t have picked a fight with Disney’s lawyers either.
MAGA must quit their jobs immediately to add to the unemployment numbers and help make Biden's DISMAL economy crater even more so whatshisname can come to their rescue again.
Oh, and don't pass that Border Bill which 98% of the Republicans initially demanded - all because the former guy told them to oppose it now.
Now we get to worry about the Supreme Court - stacked by Republicans telling Trump who to select and nominate with 3 new additions since 2017. Where are those three as well as Alito and Thomas' allegiances? To the law or to Trump/Republicans?

The Shameful Failure of Yesterday’s SCOTUS 14th Amendment Arguments
The simple reality is that the future of American democracy is as much on the line in this case as it was in 1866. That was completely lost in yesterday’s arguments: it should have been central to them.
So, why did even the “liberal” wing of the Court go along with this charade? Was it because, like Mitt Romney said of his Republican Senate colleagues who failed to convict Trump in his second impeachment, they were afraid for their own safety?
As Romney’s biographer, Atlantic writer McKay Coppins, wrote:
“One Republican congressman confided to Romney that he wanted to vote for Trump’s second impeachment, but chose not to out of fear for his family’s safety. The congressman reasoned that Trump would be impeached by House Democrats with or without him — why put his wife and children at risk if it wouldn’t change the outcome?
“Later, during the Senate trial, Romney heard the same calculation while talking with a small group of Republican colleagues. When one senator, a member of leadership, said he was leaning toward voting to convict, the others urged him to reconsider. You can’t do that, Romney recalled someone saying. Think of your personal safety, said another. Think of your children. The senator eventually decided they were right.”
Were we watching the consequence of Trump’s thuggish threats? After all, just a few weeks ago Trump attorney Alina Habba said on Fox “News” of Bret Kavanaugh:
“You know, people like Kavanaugh, who the president fought for, who the President went through how to get into place, he’ll step up.”
Nice little house and kids you’ve got there, Brett; be a shame if something were to happen to them…
This is how fascists and authoritarians have seized and held power for all the millennia we’ve had what we call civilization: by inducing terror. Just ask Ruby Freeman or Paul Pelosi. Or read Shakespeare or the Bible. Or talk with Alexi Navalny’s wife.
Did they never learn in American History class that there was a time, spanning about a generation, when democracy had been replaced by strongman oligarchy in the South and Trump is merely echoing the values and postures of that time?
That the 14th Amendment was written to prevent or rescue us from exactly today’s situation?
Stevens, Howard, and Conkling went to their graves believing they’d secured America’s future. Tragically, Trump’s lawyers, Sam Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Clarence “sugar baby” Thomas (among others) proved they were wrong.
Yesterday’s hearing was a disgrace. Now that the Supreme Court has apparently failed in their responsibility, it’s up to us to prevent this monster or anyone like him from ever again setting foot in the halls of American power.
Make sure everybody you know is registered to vote and understands what’s at stake this November.

The anti-Republican Liberals here are hilarious!
Why don't the Liberal supporters here, reach out to SNL, and ask them if you all could do the (Cold Opening for their show?)
And see if you can't use SNL, to save the United States from the Republicans, and their (Oppression of the Liberals here on Lush Stories, and from the rest of the Liberal supporters across the U.S?)
What’s with the use of parentheses? Are you filling out a form? And who writes out lol?

repeating posts ad nausaum is usually frowned upon. thanks.

Oh, no mind game, Your formatting was just baffling. You know you could just edit the original post, you don’t have to repost it in different locations hoping I’ll see it.

I got rid of the parentheses to make RowanThorn happy and re-shared the post with him.
So, I played his mind game to make him happy, and be nice to him.Thus, I am sorry that I upset you, in order to play his mind game.
i wasn't upset. just trying to herd cats and keep the forum semi-tidy. next time, like Rowan said, simply edit your posts. thanks.
