It's not just being angry at the system, but getting to feel morally superior to everyone else who isn't clued into their "secret" knowledge. That's the main allure of conspiracy culture. You always get to be right, and the people you hate will always be wrong. Conspiracies melt brains.

Reagan was the one who stabbed the American Dream to death and they worship him for it.

There’s not much to Coffee City, Texas. Two liquor stores, a couple of dollar stores, a pizza joint and a motel.

A town of 250 people needs two liquor stores??? Yikes.

Amazon is terrible for physical books though. I have never bought a new book off Amazon that didn't come damaged. Not once. Used books are ok usually, because the sellers take care to pack them properly. But Amazon simply does not care at all. Oversized art book loosely thrown into a box too big so it gets to slam around the inside constantly in transit is the norm. I use Alibris these days.

There's a version of this myth by Rubens which is even more fucked up.

It's probably more accurate to say he lacks a moral compass at all. He's a malignant narcissist, his ego is his only driving force. He doesn't have any morals.

The Repubs are sad that their gerrymandered maps are going to be tossed in the trash can and are throwing a little temper tantrum. That's all there is to this.

What the hell does this dumbass expect? Not only has he loosened laws gun laws in the state making crimes like this easier to commit, but he's shown nothing but antagonism towards the black community. He gerrymandered half the black state congress house seats out of existence, he constantly uses CRT and "wokeism" as racist dog whistles, he basically tried to strip black history out of education (or whitewashed it by claiming it was actually a good thing for the victims), he recently removed a black prosecutor for "failing to do her job" (even though he has been MIA in Florida for months) and he appoints literal KKK members to positions of power in the state.

I'm amazed he had the gall to even show up.

I think she's just holding multiple signs so she can flip through them depending on who she wants to troll at the moment.

I was raised Mormon and this was the excuse they used. They have to lie and make shit up to keep things consistent.

Throughout the passage, the Greek word translated "wine" is oinos, which was the common Greek word for normal wine, wine that was fermented/alcoholic. The Greek word for the wine Jesus created is the same word for the wine the wedding feast ran out of. The Greek word for the wine Jesus created is also the same word that is used in Ephesians 5:18, "...do not get drunk on wine..." Obviously, getting drunk from drinking wine requires the presence of alcohol. Everything, from the context of a wedding feast, to the usage of oinos in 1st century Greek literature (in the New Testament and outside the New Testament), argues for the wine that Jesus created to be normal, ordinary wine, containing alcohol. There is simply no solid historical, cultural, exegetical, contextual, or lexical reason to understand it to have been grape juice.

D'Souza is completely full of shit on this one. If you watch the video trump actually corrects himself after pronouncing "thigh land".
