Mastered, indeed. :rolleyes:

He is such a piece of trash.

He sent out a message a couple days ago encouraging people to take the vaccine. But then, he apparently ended it with basically saying, "But remember, it'll never be forced on you in Texas".

Oh sweet, all the folks who love Abbott's decisions so far could've really benefited from him encouraging them to get vaccinated will hear that and go, "Marlene, never mind. He says we don't have to take it if we don't want to".

Saturday evening, a friend referred to him in conversation as "Rolling Blunder" and I was just thankful I didn't have a mouthful of food or drink at the time.

I heard him referred to as Gov. Hotwheels on Reddit, and now it's stuck.

I just wore a mask in public for the first time since mandates were lifted. I've seen recommendations posted on doors and a very few people wearing them lately but I do believe it's time. Especially in my area of the city we get a "mix" you could call it of people who are likely vaccinated and likely aren't. I only have to drive about five minutes to get to the "wealthy country" where you'd find those five-foot tall Trump signs.

Mask season is upon us once again.

Those poor, poor kids. Bat-**** conspiracy theories and mental illness are a bad, bad mix. At least that other nutso who bombed his own van didn't kill any innocents as far as we know. But this is getting serious. Those children's blood is on Q's hands.

Is the blood of the children their mother killed on the church hands? She said god told her to do it.

:confused: Their mother didn't kill anyone. She was the one that called the cops.

I was talking about another nutjob that killed their children here in GA.

You believe it's Qs fault, do you think it's the church fault?

OK, I'll bite. According to you she said God told her to kill her children. Would she have killed them if it weren't for God? Now, I don't believe in God so the answer for me would be yes.

I kinda doubt the church told her to kill them, though. If they had, the blood would've been on their hands too.

Now back to the guy in California. If he hadn't listened to the people down here on Earth telling him his kids were lizards, they'd still be alive.

Big difference, and I'm not sure why you're so eager to defend Q.

It is the same and I'm not defending Q.
But like the church they spread their message and you get nutjobs who will kill their kids cause a cult told you too.
The church holds just as much blame IMO.
That was my point.

Edit: Where do Q actually TELL him to kill his children? I don't follow them so I know 0 about them.

I would blame it on religion in general because I'm not sure every religion is organized to have a "church" per se. But in the course of world history there have been a lot of crazy people that have killed because either their version of god told them to, or because the people they're killing don't believe in their version of a god. Or any other countless numbers of ridiculous excuses that all points back to some god or gods.

From the article he didn't believe they were lizard children until he read something Q wrote online. I guess he could've raised them as his own, serpent DNA and all but I don't think the conspiracists were telling him they were going to grow up into nice people. Perhaps we should send out a warrant for David Icke instead. I doubt the murderer fell asleep in front of a V rerun on the box but the lizard idea had to come from somewhere.

You haven't provided the article about the Georgia woman so we don't know whether it was the church that gave her the idea to commit filicide or whether she had a hotline direct to the Supreme Deity Himself. Maybe the church are to blame as they arranged the introduction between Him and her. But I'm not sure whether a court of law could prove they actually gave the kill order.

Austin restaurants backtrack on COVID-19 vaccine requirement after contact with TABC

Austin restaurants Launderette and Fresa’s will no longer require proof of COVID-19 vaccination for indoor dining after being contacted by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission.

Austin restaurants Launderette and Fresa’s will no longer require proof of COVID-19 vaccination for indoor dining after being contacted by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission.

Earlier this week, the two restaurants announced intentions to require vaccination proof at its restaurants but backtracked after communication with TABC.

TABC says managers at the Austin restaurants “weren’t aware of the full requirements of the law and immediately took steps to comply.” Launderette confirmed on its Instagram page vaccinations are not required, but guests are required to “wear masks indoors when not seated at a table.”

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed Senate Bill 968 in June, which prohibits Texas businesses or government entities from requiring COVID-19 vaccine passports or any vaccine information from customers.

TABC posted an announcement Thursday, reminding businesses of the legislation. Businesses not in compliance could risk having liquor licenses or permits revoked.

“While the agency has not taken formal action against any businesses to date, we have requested to meet with representatives of businesses where potential noncompliance could be taking place. Our goal is to educate and inform, rather than penalize, these businesses,” TABC said in a statement to KXAN.

Mother****ers.

Edit: When can ****-eating Republicans be reasonably said to have last supported property rights? I don't think you can actually say Masterpiece Cakeshop because these ****ers hate the gays and that's easily interpreted as an opportunity to stick it to those that they hate.

What difference does it make man?!

A church introduced her to the idea of god, Q introduced him to serpent blood.
They are both ****ing idiots following a cult. I'd have never had the idea of god if it wasn't for church. I'd never have the idea of serpent blood if it wasn't for this.

I honestly can't believe y'all.

I'm just trying to pick your brain a little(something y'all love to do) and now I'm a Q defender.
You just won't admit it's the same so you can feel right.

Have fun.

You just want it to be the same, but it isn't the same and you acknowledge as much when you question Q having given the order in the way that God is supposed to have given the order in the story you brought up as a basis for comparison. Since it isn't the same, your assertion that others are refusing to concede so that they can "feel right" is baseless.

You're not the victim that you make yourself out to be. I can suggest that you stop playing the victim, but I can't make you, and so I'm compelled to advise you that the act is ****ing pathetic.

Coleman is the one who told FBI investigators he was "enlightened by QAnon and Illuminati conspiracy theories and was receiving visions and signs revealing that his wife, A.C., possessed serpent DNA and had passed it on to his children".

It doesn't look like Q told him to, but he cites Q as the origin of what led him to kill his children.

Can someone please explain why Lizard people are necessarily bad?

Hmmm...

"Serpent DNA" is a likely to be a reference to the "lizard people" conspiracy theory, which falsely purports that reptilian aliens secretly run the world and have taken over important positions in government, banking and Hollywood.

Are they wrong?

To @ryzno's point, or at least what seems to be one of his points, belief alone didn't kill those kids. It instead took someone to act on those beliefs and there is no reasonable expectation that one who holds such belief will do so. Islam doesn't perpetrate violent acts as jihad, Christianity doesn't shoot doctors and nurses who perform abortions and Catholicism doesn't rape young boys.

Holy anti-Semitism vibes, Batman!

Edit: I don't mean to say that the anti-Semitism vibes are themselves "holy" as the above appears to suggest. Rather it was an approximation of an exclamation that Robin may make.

Minus your previous post I think we're on the same page.

Unless I misunderstood you.

I've always been irritated by the promotion of the idea of American Exceptionalism ... however, it's reached the point where I really have to admit - America is exceptional.

Happy to be living in Canada.

BTW: it seems like Trudeau will be calling a federal election this coming Sunday. Expected time to election day? 36 days.
 


Can you imagine a scenario in which a disgraced former officeholder with a petty, vindictive edge berates a lifetime appointment on his blog?

Legislation that prohibits private entities asking for proof of vaccination and subsequently refusing service for failure to provide it likely runs afoul of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution and unconstitutional conditions doctrine holds that government actors refusing to enter into contract over or revoking government-issued licenses for constitutionally-protected action is itself unconstitutional.

Why do Republicans hate freedom?

This has that energy of Florida v. Norwegian Cruise Lines where a judge ruled in favor of the cruise lines specifically citing 1A.


And Florida is already appealing it.
