@IJoukov @SandyofCthulhu Explain, if you dont mind, how Russian humor works.

@TerryCarlsonII @SandyofCthulhu Thats.. not at all how Russian humor works

Here is a Russian joke about food shortage, told to me BY a Russian Jew. Everyone is standing in line at the butcher shop, because there is a rumor of meat. After they'd been waiting in line for about an hour, an official comes out and shouts, "There is not enough meat for everyone. All the Jews must go home." So, moaning and sad, all the Jews head home. After another hour of waiting, the official comes out again and shouts, "There is STILL not enough meat. Everyone who is not a Party member must go home." All the non-Party members go home, cursing their luck. After yet ANOTHER hour of waiting, the official comes out one last time and shouts, "Well, there isn't any meat at all really. Everyone go home." So Ivan turns to Yuri and says, "See? This is how it always is. The Jews get all the breaks."

@thescottbarber And you are also lion fodder. He runs a nation - not a religion.

Jesus Christ is living and reigning in heaven and his kingdom will have no end. Genghis Khan’s kingdom is buried beneath the earth. It is enough to be moral. It is enough it be just. For by seeking justice we are citizens of the City of God.

@iowahawkblog She'll be wearing a keffiyeh next week.

@daltine_cracker It's darn near perfect the way it its. Not sure how much tinkering is needed.

Moving the WBC the middle of the season is a dumb idea and should never be considered

@JPHilllllll Bitching about it does no good. You can't stop it.

It’s just a weird sickness at some point, this level of greed. You have $200 billion dollars. You could wipe your ass with $100 bills and keep getting richer every day. Why kill thousands and thousands of jobs at this point?

@ContraHeresy The truth is, they got it wrong right out of the shoot and have been getting it wrong ever since. During those times there are varying degrees of getting closer to the truth and drifting from the truth.

The idea that Jesus established a Church and then everyone immediately got it wrong for 1700 years is one of the wildest assumptions in Mormonism.

@BishopJaxi Those heathen Bereans.

Sola Scriptura is functionally "Scripture according to my interpretation," backed by whatever men agree with me. It is the exaltation of private judgment over the Bible, reinforced by other men who share that same judgment. Every time a Protestant declares something to be "biblical," he is either appealing to his own interpretation of the text or to heretics like John MacArthur to validate that interpretation.

@mymomcare I'm no fan of Nancy Mace, but she's done nothing wrong here. The House passed the funding. She's in the House. It's the Senate that is sitting on the bill.

Republican and Democratic lawmakers get an escort past the TSA lines. See why they don’t care?

@FoxNews But who owns more houses Bernie? You or Elon?

SEN. SANDERS: “60% of our people living paycheck-to-paycheck, and one guy, Elon Musk, owns more wealth than the bottom 53% of American households.” “Think maybe that might be an issue that we should be talking about?"

@HustleBitch_ What is the point?

🚨 TOYOTA JUST MADE A CAR KEY SO CONFUSING… DEALERSHIPS HAVE TO TRAIN PEOPLE HOW TO UNLOCK THEIR DOOR A full-grown adult has to explain how to unlock a car door using the new Toyota card key. The key card literally has instructions printed on it. Angle the card. Find the “right spot.” Try again. Like you’re diffusing a bomb. Even he can’t get it on the first try: “Not working… not working right.” Now people will be standing outside their own car… waving a card around hoping it works. How did Toyota just make a car key WORSE?

@goodbreffis He once fell into the water, but he didn't get wet. The water got Chuck Norrised.

It is reported he punched the lava out of Mt. Kīlauea.

@Miggysbat It's perfect as is.

I can’t wrap my head around why people think this would be a good idea. You think player participation is compromised now? There is NO way any team in postseason contention allows their players to join this tournament if it happens during the All-Star Break.

@EmbracingTara I work mostly from home so I've been dabbling.

Imagine telling me that baking all my family's bread is a "luxury" when it is actually a very peasant activity, traditionally reserved for the poor class who couldn't afford to purchase from the local baker or "bread man". Hilarious that it's now seen as a "luxury".

@RonDeSantis Without rule of law and property rights...there will be no meaningful investment

At a minimum this needs to happen.

@TheMindScourge Coming soon ...pipelines to the Red Sea

Hormuz is a weapon that can only be fired once No one should expect a quick resolution to the current crisis, but across the next decade, even the next 3-5 years, the choke point of Hormuz will be massively substituted for The Gulf Arab states are all very rich, with high per capita GDP - the best single measure of relative state capacity - easy access to global markets, especially financial, and have the favorable backing of the US Everyone has known about the Hormuz vulnerability for decades. The Iranians have continually hinted around closing it, but never did. Now they have, but Hormuz is a gun that cannot be reloaded. Deterrents work only up to the point of use. Once used, they have failed. The purpose of a deterrent is to *not* be used Many analysts have made this basic mistake. They think that Iran is now in a position of strength, having exercised its Hormuz option. But the opposite is true. A state is weakest after it has used its deterrent. The cost of that deterrence is now priced in. The worst having been done, the targets of the deterrent are now free to make other arrangements. Before, they were reluctant to do so because of the switching costs. Now, they have no choice; they will not allow themselves to be controlled in this way again Hormuz may never reopen. But the importance of this is a depreciating asset.

@lisavsworld So what would be the correct amount of time? LOL

So, um... my dad told my mom he loved her after 3 weeks. 😳 (married 40 years)

@The_Catechumen I always found the line "on the third day he rose again from the dead" to be curious. Specifically the use of the word again.

Saying, “I believe in one, holy, Catholic, and apostolic Church,” but redefining every word doesn’t mean you actually affirm the creed. Catholics can profess the marks specifically as they were intended to be defined - and as they were explained by the fathers/those contemporaneous to promulgation of the creed. You can’t. It’s the same thing creedal baptists do when they redefine “one baptism for the forgiveness of sins” to mean “one baptism that doesn’t forgive your sins but only symbolizes the forgiveness you’ve already received.” It’s the same problem. You aren’t really AFFIRMING the creed, because you shift the meaning away from what those words were intended to convey by the fathers. You’re misappropriating it.

@thescottbarber "We're saving God" LOL

It is notable how foreign the language of Christianity and evangelicalism is to these guys. They talk about God in a way that no one with even the smallest Christian formation would. It’s almost like they are using Christianity for selfish political ends.

@CrownMaybe He's referring to the TardCaths and their podcasts.

The "parts" here are basically "about half a dozen online lay influencers and their too-online followings."
