One of the geniuses in /conservative kept trying to say that Trump never declared bankruptcy; it was his businesses that were bankrupt.

It's almost hilarious how far they'll stretch to defend Donny Dipshit.

I picked this up yesterday and checked out a few games in the collection. What I've played so far has been a blast.

The canvas is filled with multiple mini-scenes including a Punch and Judy, the coach of a newly married couple, and a funeral procession. In the background on the right is St Marylebone Church.

DEA is also a decent option for a violent antisocial menace.

I'm sure it's nothing personal.

The bible also gives a magic abortion potion recipe that only works if the woman cheated, so it's pretty rich to say that God disapproves.

The Test for an Unfaithful Wife (Numbers 5)

11 Then the Lord said to Moses, 12 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘If a man’s wife goes astray and is unfaithful to him 13 so that another man has sexual relations with her, and this is hidden from her husband and her impurity is undetected (since there is no witness against her and she has not been caught in the act), 14 and if feelings of jealousy come over her husband and he suspects his wife and she is impure—or if he is jealous and suspects her even though she is not impure— 15 then he is to take his wife to the priest. He must also take an offering of a tenth of an ephah[c] of barley flour on her behalf. He must not pour olive oil on it or put incense on it, because it is a grain offering for jealousy, a reminder-offering to draw attention to wrongdoing.

16 “‘The priest shall bring her and have her stand before the Lord. 17 Then he shall take some holy water in a clay jar and put some dust from the tabernacle floor into the water. 18 After the priest has had the woman stand before the Lord, he shall loosen her hair and place in her hands the reminder-offering, the grain offering for jealousy, while he himself holds the bitter water that brings a curse. 19 Then the priest shall put the woman under oath and say to her, “If no other man has had sexual relations with you and you have not gone astray and become impure while married to your husband, may this bitter water that brings a curse not harm you. 20 But if you have gone astray while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other than your husband”— 21 here the priest is to put the woman under this curse—“may the Lord cause you to become a curse[d] among your people when he makes your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell. 22 May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.”

“‘Then the woman is to say, “Amen. So be it.”

23 “‘The priest is to write these curses on a scroll and then wash them off into the bitter water. 24 He shall make the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and this water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering will enter her. 25 The priest is to take from her hands the grain offering for jealousy, wave it before the Lord and bring it to the altar. 26 The priest is then to take a handful of the grain offering as a memorial[e] offering and burn it on the altar; after that, he is to have the woman drink the water. 27 If she has made herself impure and been unfaithful to her husband, this will be the result: When she is made to drink the water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering, it will enter her, her abdomen will swell and her womb will miscarry, and she will become a curse. 28 If, however, the woman has not made herself impure, but is clean, she will be cleared of guilt and will be able to have children.

Here is the painting that was based off the drawing, but I really like the drawing so I made that the main post.

Remember when all the Republicans were making jokes about the guy breaking into Pelosi's house and attacking her husband with a hammer?

They encourage political violence because they know it generally benefits them and then act outraged when it bites one of them.

The use of blue glaze on pottery is an imported technique, first developed by Mongol artisans who combined Chinese glazing technology with Persian decorative arts. This technique traveled east to India with early Turkic conquests in the 14th century. During its infancy, it was used to make tiles to decorate mosques, tombs and palaces in Central Asia. Later, following their conquests and arrival in India, the Mughals began using them in India. Gradually the blue glaze technique grew beyond an architectural accessory to Indian potters. From there, the technique traveled to the plains of Delhi and in the 17th century went to Jaipur.

Hollonbeck admitted to his actions and said he was "afraid for his daughter's safety and didn't know who she was with or that she had left without permission," according to the report.

Oh, well if he didn't know then it's perfectly understandable to point a gun at an underpaid taxi driver.

"No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

The code states that "male students' hair will not extend, at any time, below the eyebrows or below the ear lobes" CNN previously reported.

Is this school stuck in 1959?

So perfect that it happened when he was asked about running for reelection; the ads write themselves.

And before anyone condemns me for lack of empathy: the world would be a better place without McConnell in power. Also, fuck him.

The full quote is much more enlightening IMO:

What I’m asking you to do is to say it was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republican congressmen.
