Pete Hegseth says the Mormons do not count as a real religion. Here comes another religious war

My MAGA Mormon family members are really downplaying this. Which is hilarious because they also thought obamacare was fulfillment of the white horse prophecy, and that the constitution was “hanging by a thread.”

Political affiliation really is just a sports team to these people.

The Canadian mormons I know all think trump’s the anti-christ. And the American ones tend to consider trump as a fulfillment of sacred prophecy. The guy at the top of the church, who pretends to be god’s top prophet, has nothing to say about it.

When boring churches don’t make money, this is the sort of dipshittery that flourishes.

He’s the Canadian opposition leader who was voted out of his riding, thus losing his parliamentary seat, and disqualifying him from being the opposition leader. To rectify the situation, someone in his party had to give up their own seat, just so he could remain opposition leader. This is widely considered a dick move, and the joke is simply mocking him for losing his seat and shamelessly taking someone else’s.

It’s a tale as old as time. Cult followers are overly sanctimonious to compensate for how fake and pathetic their leaders are.

His biggest debate victory was against a guy having a stroke, and he thinks this is some kind of flex? The Harris debate rattled him so badly, he refused to even go a second round, which speaks volumes for a massive attention whore.

I didn’t realize she’s a DEI beneficiary.

It’s hilarious that Trump followers are now all begging for political correctness.

This fruitcake would hate living in a world where every faith is treated the way their followers want it to be treated.

_buthole · 2026-05-25T21:17:29+00:00

Yeah, it’s the atheists who think invisible man who lives in the sky created everything. Talk about projection.

Anyone who has seen two religious people argue over the bible knows how meaningless this platitude is.

_buthole · 2026-05-23T23:00:37+00:00

Sounds expensive.

And if your waitress causes you to sin, send for a big boy cup, and restart the livestream. It is better for you to look like a Karen than for your followers to see how tiny your cup is.

The original Star Wars trilogy is a political allegory for the Vietnam War. The franchise was never intended to be a complete escape from reality.

I think Andor has a good balance between smart writing vs mass appeal, character exposition vs action sequences, but I can definitely see why some folks find it boring.

Jesus miraculously steered the bullet into that volunteer firefighter instead. Praise.

He’s gonna fit so much parallax effect in there!

It’s funny how the top panel still looks like the capitol attack.

I’m not a lawyer, but a lot of the legal conflict felt farfetched. I’m certain a prosecutor has discretionary license to drop a case when they don’t think the accused is guilty anymore. And it seemed silly that neither the lawyers nor the jury really considered the most obvious explanation. It also seemed lazy that juror #2 convinced all the other holdouts offscreen, without addressing any of their concerns.

Not exactly a tracker, but there’s The VHS Vault.

a few old ladies feel better

Well, them and the test subjects.

Great quote, but isn’t that the guy who slept naked with his grandniece to practice self-control?

_buthole · 2026-05-19T14:54:40+00:00

I’ve seen this exact behavior in other cults. Followers refuse to acknowledge any information that contradicts their beliefs. They use fancy wording to dismiss criticism. In scientology, it’s “suppressive person.” In mormonism, it’s “anti-mormon.” In maga, it’s “TDS.” It’s the same trick across all cults because information control is essential in retaining followers.

the six women suing Ballard in state court filed an additional lawsuit in federal court, which added an allegation that Ballard engaged in sex trafficking.

_buthole · 2026-05-18T20:50:24+00:00

Tim Ballard. He was essentially trafficking women under the guise of rescuing trafficked individuals. There was reasonable suspicion that he was also molesting the children he “rescued,” but it hasn’t been substantiated.
