    One of the great moments of old Twitter was when 5G first came out and famous crazy person Naomi Wolf went to Northern Ireland and said life without 5G felt calm and peaceful like 1970’s Belfast.

      That is so shockingly ignorant it would almost be impossible to believe it wasn’t said tongue-in-cheek… in any other timeline. It’s the adjectives at the end that really put it over the top.

    I know that the feeling of complete and utter revulsion I have as I read this document, that I have to take breaks - I get that’s the desired outcome. To “own the libs.”

    But if anything Oklahoma’s politicians are making me feel more inclined to be Christian in that it just has to be that evil exists. The slime, the filth, the disregard for others, the delight in one’s own stupidity.

    I’m not Lot - I know there are others. But I don’t understand why the cranks that would shout on street corners are in public office.

      They want to promote seemingly “Christian” values…

      But not social emotional learning… You know, empathy. That thing Jesus totally lacked.

      Have to agree with you on the evil thing, though. There is no other word to describe the actions of these people

      Evil exists within the hearts of men. Don’t give anyone a pass with this Satan bullshit. Don’t credit them with being tempted or influenced by some supernatural malevolence. This is who they choose to be.

      Six!? No, man. Fives the magic number here.
