    FUCK THE POLICE

    in Politics and World Events

    Posted

    I'm not making a comment on any particular country, but mama lives in Mexico & she was just telling me last week her car broke down and she called the police to come change her tire, and got back on the road. :fag: Apparently that's common practice.

    In Canada they'd probably give you a ticket. In America they'd shoot your ass dead if you're black.

    Like Kim said, who's serving and protecting us from them?

    He was 100% galvanizing his crazy evangelical fanbase.

    “My whole family was flabbergasted,” said Benjamin Horbowy, 37.

    The Horbowys had gathered in Tallahassee, Florida, to watch live as Trump walked from the White House to St John’s. “My mother just shouted out, ‘God give him strength! He’s doing a Jericho walk!’” A Jericho walk, in some evangelical circles, refers to the biblical book of Joshua, where God commanded the Israelites to walk seven times around the opposing city of Jericho, whose walls then came crashing down.

    Horbowy already supported Trump politically  – but when Trump lifted the Bible, Horbowy and his family felt overcome spiritually.

    “My mother started crying. She comes from Pentecostal background, and she started speaking in tongues  I haven’t heard her speak in tongues in years,” he said. “I thought, look at my president! He’s establishing the Lord’s kingdom in the world.”

    Did he feel that conflicted with the Gospel of John, where Jesus said “my kingdom is not of this world”?

    “Well,” Horbowy said, “that’s a philosophical question.”

    People once concerned with piety, now crave “an exercise in pure political power”, and the Bible is no longer a spiritual weapon but an earthly one.

    When Trump describes himself as a “law and order” president and holds aloft a Bible, he conflates which law he will enforce, and whose order will follow. In a short speech before the walk to St John’s, Trump said he would “dominate the streets”. That is the “kingdom in the world” Horbowy referenced.

    “I believe it’s like Ephesians 6:10 through 19,” Horbowy said from Florida. “I believe this is a president who wears the full armor of God.”

    :crazy:

    :dead: NOT a Jericho walk.

    There should be no bloody leisure walks or jogging, ffs

    I agree with everything you said except this. Gyms are shut & not everyone has equipment at home, if I couldn't exercise or ever leave the house I'd lose my fucking sanity. :lmao:

    This virus is not airborne, It spreads through exhaled droplets of moisture which can land on surfaces that are touched by others. There's nothing wrong with a solo jog or walk if you keep clear of others.

    I'm not gonna lie guys, I'm scared.

    I have some health issues, and the situation is becoming more scary every day. I've been to the market and the supplies are getting bad. People on TV are saying that millions could die, and my father is very meak right now. If he gets the virus, he's history.

    And whenever I stop to think about this, I get very scared. Because this virus speads like nothing we've ever seen. And if we have to keep the whole system in lockdown for too long, it will crumble.

    And that's what biggest fear is. We can't sustain food, water, energy and money, if everybody's in lockdown. What are we supposed to do?

    I completely hear your concerns, especially with a sick, old, or weak parent. It's terrifying. My mom is also immunocompromised because she has ulcerative colitis. It's such a scary time for everyone because we don't know how to cure it, or when it will end.

    Stop watching TV if you have to - they're in their glory because this is a ratings gold mine. And if this is any help: the reality is that history has and will always have pandemics, and in terms of mortality rate this one doesn't even hold a candle to another recent one like Ebola (though I appreciate that Ebola is harder to transmit), let alone Spanish flu. We're also in the best and most advanced position that we've ever been in medically and scientifically to fight it. Italy's peak is now expected to be some time between now and the end of next week, and then it should go down. The global position is not too far behind that. We're riding the worst of it now, but it will get better. 💋

    In Spain is all about blaming the left wing and nationalism. I'm detoxing from now on. 

    Yeah right now I'm getting things done I've been meaning to do, a course online about learning foreign languages, and reading into meditation. And my place has never been cleaner. :lol:

    I was stupid enough to read social media these days. The stupidity and selfishness of those people is incredible. 

    I logged IN and immediately back OUT.

    Stories of people in large groups, statuses from gays about how their Pride body will be affected...

    Next!

    Cause math and common sense is beyond many people.  Tons of MN regulars saying the exact thing on this thread alone until I started posting a week ago and now suddenly everyone "knew all along".  Revisionist history at its best.

    Please.

    If only a few of these self indulgent assholes donated some money to make more ventilators or even protective equipment for clinical frontline staff that would be far more helpful than hearing their shitty ass off key voices singing the most overrated song of all time

     

    Preach!
