Unfortunately, you are spot on.

If it takes violence to resist it, and I'm afraid it will, I am onboard with that...

@TomMcGiverin I'm already there. I don't need further convincing.

@TomMcGiverin You realize that makes us the very same as those who attacked Congress on 1/6 so far as law is concerned. Right? Now, our cause may be of more validity but that call is being made by us (so one expects that view). I agree that our cause has more validity, is of actual human importance, but accept that it's a Revolutionary thing to do. Those who lose Revolutions are usually called traitors and hung. Our Founders didn't draw a relaxed breath until The King gave up. Nobody's head is on the line today. It's all about looks and how to shield the corrupted wealthy from that. If they can take my head then I can take theirs. It's just harder and uncertain. One day it will probably happen but that day might not be mine.

Human society is not all that hard to understand. We simply can't forget that odds for survival determine tipping points. I can't imagine that most do not see the common person's odds as dropping so this may be such a time. I'd bet on it (just as our Founders bet on theirs).

@rainmanjr I get your point, if you resist violently, you are playing for all the marbles, and if you lose, you will probably be killed. But the way the election system is being rigged and the way the right is willing to use violence to get what they want, no matter how an election may come out, as well as the SC doing whatever it wants, despite public opinion and precedent, violent opposition may be our only option in the future to resist and oppose them. Non-violence is only a tactic, and sometimes it is a luxury we don't have. I don't think it worked out too well in Nazi Germany for the White Rose Society...

And evil to boot.

They probably ignore that one like they ignore others that don’t comport with their agenda.

I guess as long as reference ( not deference) to Jesus is made, it's a Christian religion

Barnie, I like your hat.

@mischl I think he was a little to early running for president last time, though I would have voted for him. But his current job is giving him much more exposure and federal experience which should serve him well in future elections. I would have liked to see him in a higher office, but his being gay could have gotten him arrested in certain countries had he been appointed Secretary of State or Defense.

@Barnie2years He's got a tough job, with the U.S. being SO far behind in public transportation. And having backward Republicans dragging their feet so much on infrastructure, he won't be able to accomplish a whole lot in the near future.

I bet if that school is in some area where open enrollment is available for players to transfer to other nearby schools, the better players and the less religious ones, are getting the hell out of there to play somewhere else, rather than put up with this horseshit...

@TomMcGiverin Doubt it, not that easy to go to other schools for most. My football coach did the same shit with prayers, I just tuned the shit out….‍

@TomMcGiverin the school district instructed the coach/groomer to stop but the religious horde paid for high-powered lawyers.

@BitFlipper Yup, that's the way it always works in America's legal system. The side with more money and better lawyers almost always wins, no matter who has the better case and no matter what the law says...

Up to this point, they have been more clever about using and abusing the laws to gain power. And as they gain power, they work at changing the laws to give them even more power. Several famous fascist dictators in history did exactly the same thing. And way too many of the "nice guys" sit on the sidelines and watch.

This was my hometown and when the Satanists showed up (and prayed -off- the field) the xtians shat themselves. I have known I feel like my whole life thwt the goal is Christian supremacy.

@FreethoughtKaty Yes, Katy. Christian supremacy exactly equals Theocracy. And it would be just another version of the Taliban.

The biggest phonies are always the biggest showboaters in staying in the spotlight...

Most of them are great at play acting, and I think this guy just wanted to see his name all over the internet so he could brag about how important he thinks he is.

Welcome shit machine plus high speed fan that is SCOTUS.

It should equally provide freedom FROM religion...

The guy is simply another hypocrite who wanted his 15 minutes of fame.

@Redheadedgammy He loves playing the martyr...

He was offered a private place to pray but insisted on making a public display of it. Maybe he should read the parable of the widow's mite in the bible.

That is why I have lost interest in football, both college and pro, decades ago, since the game seemed so grossly violent. Then the news came out about concussions and dementia, along with other brain damage, and I had even less interest in watching the modern version of gladiator fights... I think that latter discovery has also turned off a lot of people from the game, same as with boxing...

If by eliminate you mean vote them out of office, I’m all for that. Murder them? Not so much.

@Redheadedgammy
Why not they will not hesitate to let you die for lack of medical care!!!

You are not protected from the militarized police from breaking down your door and killing you or a family member without probable cause or a warrant because they have applied immunity awarded n
By this white Fascist Christian Supreme Court!!!

It seems they have overtly more rights and are above the law than you and I were granted under the Constitution!!!

Imprisonment would cost too much, why should we profit off of their discriminatory, racist legal system like they do!!!

@of-the-mountain I am not like them, nor would I commit murder to get my way. I still believe in the rules of law, not of men/women that want their way.

@Redheadedgammy
They are the law and they enforce it!!!

You do not not!!!

Good luck!!!
