BTW I saw @LeilandTanner last week making the very controversial statement that The Book of Job is a true story. Had no idea what he was responding to, but then some ppl in SS were saying it didn't really happen, it's just a poem, etc. This has to have come from a podcast, right?
I don't especially care if it's a literally true story, but I am suspicious in the extreme of the reasons why someone would want to tell mormies that it isn't.
"It's ok, don't worry your little heads, anything in the scriptures that really makes you feel unsettled isn't supposed to be taken literally."

Those of you who followed me way back in 2016 may remember that I was actually against charging Hillary. Yes, she committed a felony, but using the criminal justice system against a major party candidate is a total pandora's box, it allows prosecutors to pick the winner.
She committed her crime for what amounted to political reasons, her punishment should be political: everyone knows she's corrupt, they get to take that into account when they vote.

Now, it should have been AG Loretta Lynch who made that decision. Comey gave her political cover.
Comey said "no reasonable prosecutor" would charge Hillary even though she was guilty. And he was right, but....he wasn't the prosecutor, he was the cop, he was pre-empting the politicians bc he was a total lackey for the regime.

But Hillary lost, which is what really mattered.

It is seriously disturbing to me how many kids tv shows/movies are meta-stories about show business.
Thinking about this a little more....it's not just that they have plot lines about making a movie or show, though they often do. But it seems like even non-show bus6plot lines spend half the time portraying *media* coverage of what's happening.
It seems to privilege modern media, particularly grown-up media (talk shows, cable news, etc.) as the default way of perceiving reality. And implies that nothing is worth doing unless it made it onto ppl's screens.

3 years from "I'm a faithful LGBT Latter-day Saint!" to "I have Gay Orgy Disease"
Such a horrible irony that Matty got a disease that only gay men get and it's not even bc he's gay. WATFO?
Personally I had Calv*n B*rke first in the pool, but I have Josh Weed placing 2nd and I still feel good about that one.

I'm learning so much, did you guys know that there are ZERO government programs for poor women who give birth?

It's true; Medicaid, TANF, EBT and WIC literally are only available to members of the Trump family and white girls named Brookelynne.

So we gotta kill those babies.
GUYS I just had a great idea.

Since you can solve a kid's poverty issues by killing them, let's offer to abort ppl w student loans, that would wipe out the *entire* debt.
"If you're not going to provide a child with the best things in life, the truly merciful thing is for them not to be born at all."

Read through Alito's opinion, v thorough, no big surprises, explaining that Roe is unconstitutional is not rocket science.

One thing I learned is that under the common law an abortionist who accidentally killed the mother could be charged w murder, unlike any other med procedure
Alito calls this a "proto-felony-murder" rule; felony-murder rule is that if you commit a dangerous felony and it results in a death, even if u didn't kill them, you are charged with murder.

E.g. two thugs rob a store, the owner kills one. Surviving thug can be charged w murder.
This rule of charging abortionists w murder for accidentally killing the mother predates the felony-murder rule. But the underlying principle is the same: You undertook this egregiously immoral/violent act which could foreseeably result in death, it did, you committed murder.
