You who build the altars now
To sacrifice these children
You must not do it anymore
A scheme is not a vision

~ God Almighty The voice is of God but the words were written by Leonard Cohen
it's "The Story of Isaac"

Abraham thinks he's supposed to kill his son Isaac because God told him to but then God changed his mind so I thought this might resonate w GOP.

If in reading Scripture truth be found

“I could cause an insurrection at the capital and wouldn’t lose any followers” is the logical outcome of “I could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue & not lose any followers.” As a candidate, he ran on the platform that he could openly commit crimes without consequence.

This is in large part why his supporters voted for him. The media breathlessly covered each step of the way as he egged them on, incrementally. Obliterating guardrails & norm-busting was not the problem, although it was the story, ran on a loop on CNN & MSNBC #StochasticTerrorism

The state of the GOP

"Raising the specter of violence, Mercer writes, 'We are not yet in armed conflict, but we are facing an ever more belligerent, frantic, and absurd group of radicals in a struggle for the soul of our country,' referring to antifa specifically and casting her opposition

to progressives more broadly in existential terms."
"Mercer has been financing a host of right-wing individuals and groups involved in the storming of the Capitol, The Intercept reported earlier this month, from Arizona Republican Party Chair Kelli Ward to 'Stop the Steal'

That this has to be said, is one of the scariest things ever.

Once I go there, there really is no going back. To the place of fear in the pit of my stomach as I contemplate the results of the war on science.

The mob w pitchforks & lanterns are going after science & reason.

This is bigger than just political paradigmatic shift - think of the ramifications.

In the same way that it was more than the regular old politics of ancient when the church publicize that Galileo was being taken care of. For all that science.

@60Minutes Obama left a pandemic response team in place that Trump dismantled. I watched in real time as he make every wrong decision every day about every action or inaction. He finally let the doctors give a plan to reopen & the next day demanded everybody open immediately in defiance. @60Minutes He never instituted a travel ban. He instituted restrictions. By the time he restricted Europe, the virus was all over New York for weeks. So the much ballyhooed bans are bullshit. He failed to use the defense production act to make masks & PPE. Flouted science defiantly daily.

I have questions.

@benshapiro What did they smell like? Is she a skank or do you guys have different fathers? Have you tried selling them? Are they still available? What were you doing while you were sniffing them? When’s the last time you sniffed your sisters panties? Which are better? Your sisters or your wife’s? Do they smell the same or different? Which one had a wetter ass pussy? Can you get off without sniffing? Do you like getting caught or just publicly confessing? If you sell them how much? Get back to me & we’ll do the homosexual part
