Russian literatature has a reputation for being Dense and impenetrable doorstoppers. This particular Tolstoys tells his tale in six tweets. A tale of Hope and Cope, followed by Despair

Whoa, there was an actual image in amongst the screencaps and text! Is that allowed?

They actually managed to do exactly this in Medicine Hat, Alberta - the most right-wing province in Canada - in 2015.

Unfortunately, it didn't last. Blame "rising costs".

Er... Actually...

Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels: for I was hungry, and ye did not give me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me not in; naked, and ye clothed me not; sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. Then shall they also answer, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not unto one of these least, ye did it not unto me. And these shall go away into eternal punishment:

So, going by the words of Jesus Himself, the people who put migrants on a bus will not see Heaven. That isn't much consolation for this world, mind you.

What I ask Atheists for:
1. Evidence

What I get from Atheists:
1. The God Delusion
2. Apologetics
3. Their feelings
4. The God Delusion again
5. More apologetics
6. Threats
7. Sanctimonious condescension
8. Blocked

Funny how alike the two groups are.

I've run into condescending Christians more than than I have Atheists, but I have no trouble believing that they (the condescending athiests) exist.  Assholes exist in every group.

Look at Biden. That's the face of a man who'se just dropped some proper rotten arse on the room - a real festering sphincter special and is trying desperately not to burst out laughing and reveal himself. Pelosi's smelt it and and knows who dealt it. McConnel is appalled at the maliferous odours - just appalled at the enormity of the stench - but doesn't want to say anything incase he gets the blame. I don't know who yer man on the left is but he's clearly amused by the whole thing - he knows where it came from and think's it's hilarious. The other lad wonders what everyone else is smelling - the whole world probably smells like shit when your nose is brown after all.

They are, respectively, Charles "Chuck" Schumer (McYertle's Dem counterpart) and Kevin "You're next!" McCarthy, the least-objectionable candidate for Speaker in the upcoming GQP-majority House (if he can stand the taste of the Sedition Caucus's various boots). Now you know, and knowing is half the Mandatory Educational Content segment™.

So far it looks like Iran's drone attack was for domestic policy reasons, not foreign policy.

(If this sounds stupid to you, think about Trump threatening to invade Mexico despite giving zero fucks about what happens in Mexico (outside of golf courses))

this last one, I'm unsure if it's accurate and/or when it's supposed to take affect. It would likely make a lot of people happy if it's true.

I have no idea who "Brandon" is, unless it's a misspelling of "Biden".

It's a MAGA shibboleth and yes, IIRC started as a mangling of "Biden". They use it as an insult, and can't figure out why no one is actually insulted.

[robkelk]

Why would anybody be insulted by Brandon?

[classicdrogn]

It's a tier even lower than "poopiehead" as insults go, to be sure.
