I don’t know. The fact that Dick Cheney is still alive is kind of proof there is no loving god imho.
We said the same of Kissinger and Thatcher.
Well, neither of them died very early, had significant issues in life after their misdeeds, and they never saw consequences for their actions. So my point stands. I don’t think the “evil” are immortal, but they do tend to lead suspiciously long & prosperous lives.
Did Kissinger die? How did I miss that? Just looked it up, a year and a day ago. How the hell did I miss that great news?
My father was extremely intelligent. Usually one of the smartest people in the room. He predicted Dick Cheney’s imminent demise shortly after he’d had some rather dramatic heart surgery. “That’s one of the last things they do.” He said. “You spend a year to 18 months clinging to life before your body just gives up.”
He would go on to retire, enjoy several years of retirement, come down with an extremely rare progressive disease, go through enough testing to get successfully diagnosed, go through treatment, and unfortunately pass away.
He could have done all that twice since Dick Cheney got that fucking heart surgery. My dad was a good, if flawed man, and that genocidal mother fucker is the one still drawing breath.
If God is real, he is not good.
If he is good, he is not real.
Depends on the religion.
For Muslims, we are told that God gives respite to people; so that after they die and they face hell they will beg to be sent back so they can undo all the harms they did, and will be told no because they were mercifully given extra time on earth to do that and refused.
I didn’t know that; that’s actually kind of poetically beautiful. If only I could convince myself to believe it. But beautiful nonetheless.
Kissinger made it past 100, too.
Everyone has to learn this sooner or later.
The lack of specificity reminds me of the joke about the Russians getting arrested for holding up blank signs that actually came true https://www.newsweek.com/russia-ukraine-war-invasion-protests-police-arrest-activists-holding-blank-signs-paper-1687603
Edit: apparently the blank sign thing goes back farther than I realized https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blank_paper_protest
This is kinda stupid, there’s a million assholes available to take the place of current top asshole. The only cure is to address the reason why assholes get the amount of power they do. FDR-style socialism and high taxes will address so much of this.
For some reason Trump is a cult of personality though no one else on the right can duplicate. So many voters that casted for only Trump on their ballots. There will be a big hole for MAGA to fill and noone comes to mind that all his followers will rally to.
And even with his passing nothing will fundamentally change for the better, because he isn’t the exception to an otherwise good system. He’s a symptom of a fundamentally oppressive system.
But it will be worth celebrating regardless.
and all the news stations will look back on his life in the most positive of lights. Anyone expressing joy for the passing of this terrible person will be chided for daring to disrespect someone who didn’t respect any of us peasants when he was alive.
Fortunately it won’t bring the fucker back to life.
AI might “keep him going” for a bit though.
Keep an eye on Tumblr for the crabbiest of crab raves.
You’re all wrong. This is about NPR’s This American Life host Ira Glass.
He knows what he did.
?
It’s gonna be disappointing though. I remember when Reagan died. We all had to be silent out of politeness while Republicans pretended he was the greatest American ever.
Not this time.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
Can’t give them even a wisp of an excuse to target anyone
Soon?

Democrats only winning strategy.
Why just Democrats? The entire free world will celebrate the end of that worthless orange sack of fascist shit.
Just pointing out, Dems only strategy that will result in a trump loss is waiting who the fuck knows how long for him to die.
It’s true but he shouldn’t say it marge.jpg
I hate this. This is not about Democrats vs Republicans. It’s about goddamn people. The people that live in a nation that was SUPPOSED to help the poor and unprivileged. It was SUPPOSED to be by the people and for the people. But the people that voted are goddamn morons and the ones that didn’t pouted like a petulant child because “it’s not progressive enough”. Grow the fuck up. There was more at stake then your Instagram followers allegiance.
The people who were suppose to prevent this outcome were the democrats. By your own admission they couldn’t beat a bunch of morons.
Once again. You aren’t seeing the forest for the trees it’s about the people. Not the teams…
Your people, keep loosing elections. What else is there to get.
That’s it’s not about the team. It’s about the fans. The teams are irrelevant without the fans. Who the fuck cares about the game when those that are watching are the ones needing change.
The. fans. did. not. show. up. for. their. team. Get the fuck out.
You don’t get it
Ah, ignorance and hate based off assumptions
Finally, collectivists, Hamas and Hamas supporters divorced from Life.
That’s the dream
