And I'm NOT joking

Oh yes. Doofus would have done anything, absolutely anything, self serving. He has no compassion, empathy or indeed intelligence.

$$$ Toyota.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-57773010

'Toyota has said it will halt donations to members of the US Congress who voted against certification of President Biden's election victory.

The Japanese company faced criticism over the contributions after the 6 January attack on the US Capitol.

Toyota donated more than $50,000 to Republicans who tried to block approval of the US President's win in some states, it emerged last month.

The company had previously defended the payments.'

Every time I see anything with DonJr in I think he is absolutely on the edge.

He needs to step back

OMFG! They fucking manage to tie everything to 'you will lose your guns!!!' if XYZ happens. That must not be scaring enough of them so now they're adding Bibles to the list.

Despicable. Just abhorrent.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 11/07/2021 17:59

It is a bit of a leap from "they are coming to give you some information" to "they are coming to take away your guns", I feel.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 11/07/2021 17:59

DH comments, "The coronavirus is very small, so to fight it with guns you need to aim very carefully."

“I do not stand under the law,” she said. “Under Genesis 1, God gave man dominion over the law.”

Yeah well, she's a woman so according to most right-wing extremists she needs to sit down and shut the fuck up. Actually this is one instance I I agree with them.

What a fucking idiot. That's just another version of "Free man on the land" bollocks.

AcrossthePond55 · 12/07/2021 13:55

And the actual quote is Gen 1:28; "And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth".

Don't see anything there about 'law'.

People will quote the Bible to support any damn thing they want, and don't care whether their quote is in the Bible at all -- any translation.

@AskingQuestionsAllTheTime

Too true.

And if someone counters their quote with a different one then they're 'the devil quoting scripture for his own purposes'. Can't win for losin'.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 12/07/2021 17:07

The only thing to do in that case is to get in first with 'the devil can quote scripture for his own purposes', I suppose, but I doubt if I would think of it. And unfortunately it doesn't have a nice snappy chapter-and-verse to fire at them. "Merchant of Venice act one scene three line 93" doesn't have the same ring, somehow.

Goodness, how I did dislike Antonio when we read that play!

Remember 'unleash the Kraken'? Sidney Powell is in court and this is quite a twitter thread by Adam Klasfeld

twitter.com/KlasfeldReports/status/1414606035009122304?s=19

Judge Parker tears into the lawyers on the latest dodgy "Kraken" affidavit:

"This is really fantastical."

"How could any of you as officers of the court submit this affidavit?"
