Can someone explain to me how Trump posting a pic of himself cosplaying as the Pope is any less offensive than the “Piss Christ” photo that got people all riled up way back when?

One insulted millions of Christians under the guise of artistic expression. The other is a digital meme — satire, symbolism, maybe even what some call a joke. But because it’s Trump, the left clutches pearls and spews nonsense.

It’s not blasphemy. It’s Photoshop. Calm down.

Does anyone on the left have a sense of humor anymore?

Interesting this is put in "culture".......

Should we start covering Christian groups against LGBTQ groups?

Additional challenge....substantiate that this is what it purports to be.

Gee, I thought it was only the extremist that didn’t like western culture.
Hi, it's Tuesday and I see that you're still a racist piece of shit.

Even if this video is real (verification=dubious) how would a Muslim woman in this style of burqa not represent an extreme/fundamental wing of the religion? Secondly, should we start covering Christian groups against LGBTQ groups?

You're truly a terrible human being.

Are they Hamas supporters or pro-Palestinian supporters? I would expect these great geopolitical minds to be able to clarify simple points. I know many here will take the time to educate themselves on the differences before running to procla.......oh wait

I tapped my feet together and said there’s no place like home. Then poof- Dems hating the Jews popped up again in a land of weirdos.


From what I can tell, one side was screaming at the AG that her actions in bringing the charges was being influenced by connections to the Univ of Michigan Regents. Now that the charges are being dropped, the other side is claiming that the AG dropping the charges because of influence. LOL

I suppose one side is right. Just not sure which one.

I wonder which side it was that didn't want charges brought against violent protesters. That's gonna be a hard one to figure out.

were the Jews who had their property vandalized and saw pamphlets with ‘Free Palestine means death to America” supposed to question that nuance? I know you sympathize with violent Israel-hating protestors, but a peaceful surrender wasn’t in their demands.

It's difficult, for sure. Did the Allies, who firebombed Dresden think 'are all 35,000 of these civilians Nazis? Or are they just kind of going along to get along so they don't get strangled by piano wire one night?'

Is this a nuanced position? This is what UWand scUM had on display.

violent protesters.
Violent? Really?

"The seven were facing misdemeanor charges of trespassing as well as felony charges of resisting and obstructing police"





Given this, thoughts on Jan. 6'ers?

Well thank God we don't have religious extremists in the White House pushing regressive views about women and their roles!

Wait.
