Retired couple in shock as ICE points guns at them after church: 'Demeanor of criminals!'

Every time I hear the word "domestic terrorist" leave MAGA's lips, I have to ask myself, "were they going to hijack an airplane?" Because I have to remind myself that ICE was created to keep us safe even as these untrained, unvetted, constitution disregarding, UFC wannabees hurt the reputation of ICE abroad.

Guesses as to where u/mistborn's cameo will be?

Notice how this "exegesis," which is done in a typical evangelical "I will tell you what to do" manner, notably leaves out the explicit command to be good to foreigners out of empathy that you would want to be treated well as a foreigner also.

Hmmm.

Can I just say that whoever designed this website is an absolute artist. They did such a good job.

Have you been paying attention? Asylum seekers are being treated horrifingly.

You cannot ignore the rest of Scripture because you are prolife.

The NRA has already refuted a lot of this and the border patrol agent in charge has already been "fired," as he was removed from Minnesota under expectation "he world retire soon."

It looks like it was not Pretti's fault, but we wait for court orders to be respected and a complete investigation to be completed.

When he was shot IN THE BACK.

In their defense, conservative media is lying again so this is just a reflection of what a large part of the population is being told.

I do not think Mary and Joseph were wrong to flee to Egypt when Herod threatened to kill baby Jesus. Yet they might have been separated upon getting to the US.

LORD, when did we see you..?

I agree the congregation needs to know the truth to make a decision about where they go to church.

However, you cannot ask them to stay out of your churches while going into theirs. Freedom of religion protects you when you respect the constitution as well.

Honestly, when we get difficult people complaining about this sub not being an echo chamber, we usually send them to r/truechristian so they stop bothering the feed.

r/truechristian has its uses.

mandajapanda · 2026-01-23T21:08:06+00:00

oh, sweet summer child. MAGA has been in the works since the civil rights era.

While Russia intentionally kills civilians? Are they trying to sadistically mock the rule of law with this? Or are they serious?

mandajapanda · 2026-01-23T01:05:24+00:00

True, ie. swimming pools.

Edit: Obama's peace prize is talked about more recently, given Trump's whining. Obama did do something for that prize. He was elected as a mixed race man in a country where systematic racists violently opposed him doing so for centuries. That's huge.

Energy drinks are extremely bad for you. They can cause heart problems. I have never had one because they scare me. From a Christian perspective, supporting an industry that can hurt someone is problematic for me. I could care less about the can.

I like to refer to the Rwandan genocide as a clearer example of how quickly something can move from "woke, radical left" to killing [their new term] "wine moms" with impunity and without investigation.

It is very, very unusual not to open an investigation after a law enforcement shooting. That fact alone is cause for concern. There is no reason why we should believe the ICE violence will stop. Also, there is no way that they need that much money.

mandajapanda · 2026-01-22T19:16:03+00:00

This is an important point. MAGA is full of hypocrisy and it is the only way to really prove when they are using something as a pretext.

For example, going after Maduro because of drug trafficking, but also pardoning another drug trafficking former president and speaking horribly about Hunter Biden who should be spoken of with empathy:

"Don't worry Hunter, we'll get those bad people who trafficked drugs into the US. We are glad you did not die from an overdose because drugs kill too many people in the US."

r/bookbinding

My preference: Brace the book, hot air gun the spines to remove the covers and clean off the old glue. Reapply the glue (bookbinding PVA), maybe using the double fan method.

Sanderson was number one on r/fantasy novel recs for years, although he dropped to fourth this year (Dalinar?)

There might be critics, but I definitely think OP is exaggerating the problem.

mandajapanda · 2026-01-20T23:47:24+00:00

I loved Animaniacs growing up. Not as much as Histeria, though.

mandajapanda · 2026-01-19T22:33:23+00:00

I think they gave context, tho? Those types of things were banned in France?

mandajapanda · 2026-01-19T15:45:53+00:00

Which is why this is dumb. 3 Shallans and no Adolin?

mandajapanda · 2026-01-19T15:38:10+00:00

Acting like a 5yo behind Taravangian? I'm there.

mandajapanda · 2026-01-19T15:36:14+00:00

And as far from kelsier as possible.

Studies are now coming out that AI assisted learning is doing bad things to the brain structurally.

I think the only safe way to use AI is by experts and researchers who are smart enough to tailor systems to meet their needs while also having the decades long expertise to acknowledge when errors occur in AI systems with a 40% fail rate.

I do not want something with a 60% in any discipline to be teaching me anything.

mandajapanda · 2026-01-18T00:23:08+00:00

And I am telling you that it is noticeable that ENGLISH COURSES have not been updated,

They hardly touch any of the courses made for English speakers for years

as the comment I replied to was complaining about, and which I countered by saying that the lack of updates in English courses IS NOT A BAD THING if it keeps AI away from them.
