Quite the fashion statement when paired with mom jeans. Wait until djtj tweets about it.
And speaking of vaccines: I will not be inclined to line up for the still-experimental concoction that dump rushes through approval until he gets his administered by Fauci, broadcast live.
I will consider giving some thought to reading an exhaustive study done of the effects of the vaccine on, at a minumum, 10 million Trump supporters. Until then…I'm good.
The Buckhead got his wish as a demonstrator was killed in Portland. Victim seems to have belonged to a right-wing group, Patriot Prayer. No clue yet about the killer, who could have been another right-winger just firing blindly at the crowd.
Guns at demonstrations are not a good idea, people.
I should reserve judgment but my guess (and it's only that) is that the shooter was a right-winger, too.
Gunman was a loner, disturbed. Claimed to be 100% Antifa. Had a prior stop for carrying at a protest. May have fired in retaliation to being sprayed with bear spray.
“I saw the victim pull something up from his hip with his right hand and a big cloud of mace goes in the air,’' Dunlap said. “And then half a second later, there were two pops.”
I recently had a robust argument with a family member regarding their belief that Democrats were trying to destroy religion "BIG TIME". My position in that argument was they are doing a fine job all by themselves. This fucking knucklehead just buoys the debate. What a useless Congress-critter this guy has become. Just whose "God" other then these Christian Jihadists have any interest in 'killing them all'???
A good friend of mine just posted this today – a timely blog post for this occasion. This is a man who has attended two seminaries and was raised as an evangelical. Grab a cup of coffee – it's a worthy read.
A REPUDIATION THAT IS LONG OVERDUE OR, DEAR WHITE EVANGELICALS
Given that all religions are evil, I have no problem destroying them.
But the evangelicals have given us so much….
What other group provides an institution of higher learning at which the chancellor's horny wife will fellate a student while the chancellor stands in the corner and watches?
You left out the pool boy.
You say that like it's a bad thing.
It’s a good letter. If I want to complete my estrangement from my evangelical kinfolk, I’ll email it to them.
Their Facebook posts are full of “tolerance” and “understanding”, but what they mean by this is that people who criticize the President should just shut up.
Yep.
I left the Christian faith before I turned 18. I can respect those who try to honor its tenets but the Buckheads of the world make me gag.
Still, it must be said, "kill them all" is a command deeply rooted in the Old Testament, which is in large part a record of genocide: Jerico and many others.
Reform rabbis like Hillel and Jesus taught a kinder faith.
Apparently, the Buckhead didn't get the memo, known to some as the "New Testament."
It is interesting to imagine Buck's decision-making when he got dressed that morning (erase THAT image from my mind!). 'Let's see here, I've got the white western shirt, the blue western shirt, the plaid western shirt – those west slopers love those western duds. But no, I think I'll wear this ugly, ill-fitting T-shirt that says "kill 'em all." That's just right! And I'll have lovely
Sarah PalinLauren at my side with her pistol, just in case we need to kill 'em all!!'The only time the phrase "Kill 'Em All" is acceptable:
Whenever I see stuff like Buck's shirt, I go back to Slayer's "Disciple"

The opposite of Buck's shirt would probably be 'Let It Be' from the Beatles.
The T-shirt is just incomplete. It should say "Kill them all: Then we'll have no economy with which to pay down our $27 trillion debt and on top of that, we'll be easier to invade because we'll have vastly fewer people and we won't be able to fund our military." Anyhow, that sounds like the end-game to me…
So why invade us. We'd have no economy, a country filled with guns and people willing to use them on their fellow man, a vast nation of resources with no one to buy them………………I'd pass.
To be crystal-clear, I don't believe we're in danger of invasion any time soon. But if we take a long view of history, the power of nations and empires, and national boundaries, all change over time. I don't believe Buck really wants to "kill them all," whoever "them" is, but if we have mass violence within the nation and we lose, say 20-40-60% of our population, we'd lose some corresponding percentage of power – sheer numbers, economic performance, brain power among the possibilities. We've had a Civil War already and we recovered, but that was during a time where it was tougher for people from many nations to reach ours. If we were somehow successfully invaded, the invader would be able to repopulate and potentially rebuild an economy over time. The US still has vast resources – oil and gas, mining, farm and ranch lands, coastline, recreational opportunities – and there'd be no need to view things through a lens of today's version of the US economy so new occupants might be able to benefit on their own terms. Of course defending new parts of an empire has its own costs and risks, which would certainly include the heavily armed old-Americans who survived theoretical internal strife and external invasion.
I hope I was clear enough that I don't believe an invasion is likely, but I do seriously believe we have the potential to weaken ourselves as a nation to some extent with internal violence.

Buck is an appalling waste of a seat as a CD4 rep. How he can be “jokingly” advocating murder and mayhem in the name of his religion is beyond comprehension.
I received a glossy, full color “COVID19 Congressional update” from Clueless Ken’s office a week ago. It is full of self praise for all the wonderful things he says he’s done to fight the virus, with no mention of his votes to deny funding for Covid relief or testing or anything meaningful. In his district are Morgan and Weld counties – two of the hottest virus hot spots with hundreds of deaths and cases in meatpacking plants and nursing homes.
Plus, even if you think the Bucko is awesome , his attendance record 28% vote absence last year, 6% absent overall) is one of the worst in Congress, so it’s not like he’s representing you gun nut immigrant haters well, either. https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/ken_buck/412619
Buck’s mailer is basically a campaign flyer on the taxpayer’s dime.
I recommend that people check out and contribute to Isaac “Ike” McCorkle- the most serious candidate, and the Democratic nominee running for CD4. I’ve met Ike, and he’s a good man.
"How he can be “jokingly” advocating murder and mayhem in the name of his religion is beyond comprehension."
Not really. If you think about the history of several of the biggest organized religions, much of that has been characterized by murder and mayhem be it the Christian Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, or the Jihadists today.
My fiancé and I have been watching the Tudors on Netflix. We're at the part where Sir Thomas Moore is burning heretics at the stake. It's funny (ironic, not comic) because within a few episodes, the Catholics won't be killing the Protestants – it will be the other way around.
Whether it is Torquemada or bin Laden, it's all the same violent crap. Believe as I do or die!
A friend of mine years ago described religion as a form of mental illness. I thought that was bit over the top. I think it is only natural to want to develop a spiritual connection with something.
If religions had a more "live and let live" mentality, I would feel a lot better about them.
Boggles the mind that this person is an elected official. Can you imagine Joe Neguse wearing something so tasteless and tacky? Talk about disrespect for the office and his constituents who aren't Qanon believers.
Is he much worse than Matt Gaetz or Louie Goemert or Ted Yoohoo?
No.
except he is local

I think there's a caucus for them: the right-wing nut-jobs.
"Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius." is a phrase reportedly spoken by the commander of the Albigensian Crusade, prior to the massacre at Béziers on 22 July 1209. A direct translation of the Latin phrase is "Kill them. For the Lord knows those that are His own." Papal legate and Cistercian abbot Arnaud Amalric was military commander of the Crusade in its initial phase and leader of this first major military action of the Crusade, the assault on Béziers, and was reported to have uttered the order by Caesarius of Heisterbach.
Less formal English translations have given rise to variants such as "Kill them all; let God sort them out." Some modern sources give the quotation as Neca eos omnes. Deus suos agnoscet, evidently a translation from English back into Latin, and so omitting a biblical reference to 2 Timothy 2:19 evident in the original.[1]
Amalric's own version of the siege, described in his letter to Pope Innocent III in August 1209, states:
About thirteen years later Caesarius of Heisterbach relates this story about the massacre, with the papal legate quoted using the words Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius:[3]
sThe Albigensian Crusade was intended to eliminate Catharism, a religious movement denounced by the Catholic Church as heretical. Béziers was not a Cathar stronghold but, according to contemporary Catholic records, home to almost 20,000 baptised Catholics and just over 300 baptised Cathars. Presented with the difficulty of distinguishing Catholics from the Cathars, especially if individuals might misrepresent their own beliefs, the phrase indicated that God would judge those who were killed, and accordingly "sort" them into Heaven or Hell.
The phrase is generally recognised[who?] as a partial quotation from the Vulgate version of 2 Timothy 2:19 (Latin: cognovit Dominus qui sunt eius, lit. 'Master knows them that are his'). In the King James Version, the English translation of the verse is: "Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are His."

Yeah. I'm thinking Buck-Buck considered all those connotations before throwing on his T-shirt. Who buys shit like that or was it given to him as a gift?
