The Pit of Misery: Politics and Religion

PSUTE said:
Gotta side with the russians on this one, rich, famous Basketball player. Some think they're exempt from laws everywhere...


"If a U.S. citizen was taken in connection with the fact that she was smuggling drugs, and she does not deny this, then this should be commensurate with our Russian, local laws, and not with those adopted in San Francisco, New York and Washington," Zakharova said, via The Associated Press.

Griner's politics aside (I don't like her stance on the anthem), she did the crime she should do the time. Her status as a "high profile" athlete (how many people knew who she was before this??? does anyone even watch the WNBA???) should NOT warrant special treatment.

It's like AOC and Ilhan Omar getting "arrested" the other day. They will face zero consequences, charges will be dropped because of 'who they are'. But what about Jane Doe who was blocking traffic right next to them - will her charges be dropped? In all likelihood - yes - they will because our justice department is hyper-partisan, but my point still stands.

What’s The Deal With Dave Chappelle?

Ever since Dave Chappelle's controversial Netflix specials, the comedian has become associated with an ugly culture war.
www.forbes.com www.forbes.com

"During The Closer, Chappelle aligned himself with “team TERF,” (an acronym which stands for trans-exclusionary radical feminist) and spent the majority of his time on stage talking about the LGBT community, and criticizing trans women, a marginalized minority who simply want to be left alone."

You hear that? They JUST WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE, you guys! I mean, it's not like they demand you use their pronouns, demand you allow your children to learn all about them every day at school, demand you allow them to compete against women in sports, robbing them of opportunity, or demand you tax fund their surgery, they JUST WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE!
 
"The Constitution of most of our states (and of the United States) assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed."
- Thomas Jefferson, letter to to John Cartwright, 5 June 1824

That they may exercise it by themselves. Very enlightening and interesting.

U.S. — In a bid to get WNBA star Brittney Griner out of a Russian prison and back home to the states where she belongs, Americans have eagerly stepped up to offer up LeBron James as a substitute.
"Please, bring Brittney back home," says a Change.org petition approaching 200 million signatures. "If you want someone, please take LeBron. We will happily ship him to the Siberian prison of your choice for free."

Even President Biden weighed in on the matter, saying: "It's time to bring that tall, clean, articulate young fella home. Wow! Tall guy, long hair! Not cool Putin! You can have Corn Pop instead! I tried to wrap this chain around his head and he flopped on the ground like a little sissy! Come on, man!"
Griner reported being happy to hear of the petition but concerned that LeBron might not last long in a tough Russian prison where people foul you all the time and there are no refs to stop it.
The State Department says that if the petition reaches 250 million signatures, they will consider placing LeBron on a plane to Moscow.
Upon hearing the news, LeBron immediately cried out in pain and flopped down to the ground.
