  • Leave it to Eric Schmitt to be staggeringly ignorant, thats his expertise.

    When this piece of shit was the MO AG he did literally nothing for the people of the state whatsoever. I once met him in his office during a tour of the capital, and he said that the only issue anyone cared about was robocalls. Just robocalls. As if there werent a million and one things he could have actually been trying to tackle to improve the lives of Missourians. The guy is not only a racist piece of shit that should be strung up by the toes, hes also incredibly and unfathomably stupid

    Ill never forget how pissed he looked while I drank coffee out of his personal Truman State mug, that his own dumbass deputy poured for me, while I pushed back on the shit spewing out of his mouth. He was pissed and it was truly a glorious experience

  • Pope prepares to canonise London-born teenager nicknamed ‘God’s influencer’

    Jump

  • His mother claims it was around the time of his funeral that he started to work miracles, and last year the late Pope Francis credited Acutis with two. The first, the Vatican said, involved the recovery of a boy in Brazil from a rare congenital disease affecting his pancreas; the second was the healing of a student in Florence with bleeding on the brain after suffering a head trauma, and whose mother had prayed at Acutis’s tomb in Assisi.

    This is honestly a pretty strange situation. I dont practice the faith anymore, and havent for a long time, but IIRC I thought for someone to become a saint that they have to have had miracles occur during their lifetime. I dont understand how things occurring after his death are used as a justification, especially when they arent really directly related to him. Nor are they exemplary situations that are completely inexplicable, and could just seem miraculous due to our imperfect understanding of medical science…

    The speed at which Acutis has been canonised, especially when compared with Frassati, is part of the church’s quest to attract more young people to the faith. “That’s exactly the point,” said Andrea Vreede, Vatican correspondent for NOS, the Dutch public radio and TV network. “The church wants to have a young saint who is a millennial, somebody who belongs to the modern age.”

    When you pair it with the fact that they are quite literally rushing this through, when its normally a decades long investigative process, makes it seem like quite a crock. I mean it is religion after all, but even still I feel like devout Catholics would be highly skeptical of this even. People who had crazy stuff happen during their lifetime, like allegedly developing the stigmata, arent even canonized at this pace. Seems like its all just a ruse to try and draw impressionable youth into the faith

  • RFK Jr. Report Will Link Autism To Tylenol Use During Pregnancy, Report Says

  • Sadly theyre going to sue the shit out of the US government, which we will all be paying for with tax dollars when they win… direct consequence courtesy of the morons who voted for this

  • Progressive Group Supports Angela Gonzales-Torres' Primary Challenge to AIPAC-Backed Jimmy Gomez

  • They couldnt have found a better photo of her to use than one with half her face?

  • RFK Jr. and the White House buried a major study on alcohol and cancer. Here’s what it shows.

    Jump

  • Tbf the study part, which is buried pretty deep in the article, says that having 1 drink per day gives a 1 in 1,000 risk of dying from an alcohol related cause, and 2 drinks per day is 1 in 25. Those are probably significantly more problematic odds than the carcinogenic aspects of eating red meat or even of smoking. Definitely worse than what anyone would guess, even if they know alcohol is bad for you already

    Think of all the people who maybe have quite a few drinks on the weekend but wouldnt consider themselves alcoholics by any means, they could have a 1/10 chance (or worse) of dying from drinking without even drinking every day

  • Trump accuses Xi of conspiring against US with Putin and Kim

    Jump

  • That or hes creating the pretext for the WWIII that he promised his presidency would allegedly prevent from occurring. Mfs about to get sent to the front line just to distract from the Epstein files

  • JD “whatever makes sense” Vance couldnt build a cult following if he tried. He has zero, it not negative, charisma

    Its worth saying he doesnt need one to get into power, but at the same time no one would turn a blind eye to his actions based solely on bias like they do with Trump. He has no chance of placating the MAGA party whatsoever if they turn on him for any reason. Not to mention that everyone knows hes a weird little gremlin, even his supporters

  • US military kills 11 people in strike on alleged drug boat from Venezuela, Trump says

  • Its also super unnecessary to blow up the entire ship when we train snipers to shoot through the engine blocks on speedboats to disable them. Like the Coast Guard doesnt go around just blowing shit up, there were other options here

  • President Trump moves Space Command from Colorado Springs to Alabama, citing state’s mail-in voting as a reason

    Jump

  • I loved the part of the presser yesterday where they asked him about it and he pretended he had no idea anyone was saying he was dead

    Like yeah, the guy whos been obsessed with twitter for years had no idea that his alleged death was the most trending topic on twitter

  • Following President Trump's request, Missouri Republicans will redraw their state's congressional lines

    Jump

  • Unless cows are getting voting rights its hard to see how they could gerrymander it any further than they already have. There are currently only two dem reps in a state with two major blue cities (i.e. the majority of the population), meanwhile all 5 hoosiers living in the boonies get 6 reps for themselves…

    Conservatives mostly dont keep up with the news, they get their outrage second hand. So Conservatives now hate CB for “being woke” or whatever the manufactured outrage was. So they wont eat there.

    Liberals will hate CB for caving to the fucking morons who said changing their logo was woke. So they wont eat there.

    Not to mention, who the fuck even ate there in the first place if there is any other option available whatsoever? They were already dying. Good riddance
