Missouri was overrun by Texas Fourth Great Awakening Evangelicals whenever there was an oil bust and Texans needed money. Modern Christian carpetbaggers, they took Missouri money and replaced it w/ Evangelical fervor. Missourians don't need Democratic hypocrites. @piperformissouri.bsky.social

@piperformissouri.bsky.social And yet El-Sayed won the Michigan primary. He has been honest about his religious convictions. You, on the other hand, deserve no credit for standing mute as a politician and teacher. Stand up honestly or get out of politics and education of Missouri's youth.

In the US, this would not be illegal, though It's just as immoral.

Charity Commission to investigate donations to illegal Israeli settlements

Official action by regulator for England and Wales comes after formal complaint made by Labour MP about the funds

"The deal clarifies that the tax audit immunity agreement 'applies by its terms only retroactively' to claims open at the time of the settlement and does not protect the president from examination of future tax filings." Like a thief stealing $1,000 and agreeing to give back $500 to escape charges.

Times like this I miss Twitter before Musk privatized it. People had differences of opinion, and in certain partially literate sectors could be annoying. But differences of opinion were discussed. On BS most refuse to discuss or argue anything outside standard mainstream Democratic Party thought.

I'm a Socialist Democrat who believes the DSA is wrong headed and ill-advised. OTOH, opposition to embedded wealth has always been fragmented. I'm willing to accept differences as along as the goal is economic upheaval.

Until Democrats attack the RW for a base consisting of voters who believe in a superstitious origin of human life, we'll never progress. FYI @piperformissouri.bsky.social You're a hypocrite.

If Sophie hadn't gone to the forgotten Heartland univerisity of Mizzou, she'd have multiple advertisement gigs now.

DJR gives a no bid contract to a personal friend, and when the taxpayers suffer from cost overruns and shoddy work, Trump blames and slanders an innocent tourist. Democrats barely open their mouths in protestation. Fuck any opposition party that refuses to speak honestly and w/ integrity.

If you've any interest in Japanese film, esp Pinku Eiga, the recent 4 disc blu Vinegar Syndrome release is packed w/ A-G interest and societal comment.

Just watched Ishii's 'Original Sin' from the recently released bluray boxset by UK's Third Window films. I have one authenticity complaint, but aside from that, the film is tense and dark. A genuine modern noir.

No apology or compensation for the man arrested and publicly slandered by Trump for damaging the reflecting pool? Seems to me he's in line for a big payday if he can find a lawyer courageous enough to go against the billionaire bully who has his finger on the button.

God, I hate the cowards in the Democratic Party.

If the opposition party refuses to criticize conservative Catholics and Fourth Great Awakening Evangelists, they're doing a disservice the US. Yeah, your career is not as important as telling the truth. You listening @piperformissouri.bsky.social ?

Clintonista Dems won't even whisper criticisms of Evangelicals or conservative Catholics, though they're the voters who support foreign wars, Israeli bullying, and a President who steals from the taxpayers. Get integrity or get out of the opposition party. @piperformissouri.bsky.social

How far are we from Democracy in the US? A Catholic billionaire bought SCOTUS narrowed the definition of bribery so Trump could steal billions from US taxpayers. An Israeli advocacy PAC bribes every legislator they can to support a policy of starving of children in Gaza. US needs a revolution.

I'm not asking Democratic voters for much. Read the Wiki entry on the origins of AIPAC, then explain why you would support any Democrat who takes their bribes. You listening, Rep. Haley Stevens of Michigan?

It seems strange to me the US President has stolen billions from US taxpayers, yet has broken no laws. John Roberts and his inculcated Catholic choir ruled Trump has the right to do this if it's under the cover of official acts.

Has Chuck Schumer made a public statement about GOP Senators who are willing to overlook Blanche's actions on Epstein investigation, willingness to kowtow to Trump's immunity for tax evasion charges, and slush fund for 1/6 criminals? You can't fight corruption w/ a corrupt, AIPAC backed Senator.

Any reasonable, ethical adult knows Blanche, a criminal co-conspirator of DJT, shouldn't be confirmed as AG. Yet almost all GOP Senators will vote for him. Is this just politics, or an exposure of the deep rot at the core of Christian hypocrisy in our society?

What about when the harassment comes from the President and his AG? How much would that be worth? Allowing a President to punish political opponents w/o retribution is unacceptable.

Trump will probably continue to lose MAGA support simply because he's rapidly aging. Age is stripping his ability to dance to the current tune. It'd be a mistake to think the small town Evangelicals and big city conservative Catholics have changed. They still think empathy is being against God.

Netanyahu meeting the US President at the WH is a foreign statement. "Any of the (other) 124 member states of the International Criminal Court (ICC), which issued a formal arrest warrant for him on November 21, 2024" would arrest him. Are Evangelicals and conservative Catholics proud?

The only thing Trump and his administration cares about now is avoiding public humiliation. The Gulf states, who have bribed him are telling him to back off, as Iran is hurting their monarchial boot kicking profits. Israel is still gung-ho, but even DJT has grown weary of their solipsistic bullying.

Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are excellent examples of why the Democratic Party has floundered when fighting embedded wealth. Pelosi took health insurance money to fight UHC, and Schumer takes AIPAC money to ensure the party is aligned w/ Israel. DNCC hands are too dirty to fight GOP corruption.

From NYT: "One senior U.S. official, who also spoke on the condition of anonymity, expressed doubts that resuming major combat operations would drive Iran back to the bargaining table." Oh? Two Jewish real estate billionaires who each gave millions to AIPAC couldn't convince Iran to deal?

Susan Collins has a huge financial advantage over Troy Jackson in a state w/ a population one third the size of Atlanta metro. Money won't determine the winner in Maine, it will be Democrats ability to show Collins to be a 73 yo spoiled rich girl who's spent a lifetime shilling for embedded wealth.

Is it too much to expect from striving Democratic candidates, but I'd like to see a commitment to reject any AIPAC money and an arrest of Netanyahu if he steps on US ground. Is that too much to ask?

There is nothing more politically important you can do than squeezing the selfishness out of any Evangelical you meet. They're killing us w/ their personal pursuit of redemption.

Collector's hell. I just bought 6 blu-rays I'm sure I will hate, because I'm an A-G completist. In my defense, maybe my heirs will like them.
