I'm sorry, normally I try to limit my laughter at white conservatives to a few times per day, but there's simply too much material out there.
Note this mental giant:
“These people that I expose engage in witchcraft,” Crokin said. “You know, the people like Marina Abramović, the people like Hillary Clinton, [the people] from the deep state articles that are getting ready to write a hit piece on me right now. Well, look it up. Look it up. Do research on Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton and their trip to Haiti and how—I think it was on their honeymoon—they admitted to doing voodoo there together. Research Marina Abramović; she talks about the rituals she does, she’s an occultist.”
“All these people dabble in witchcraft and spirit cooking,” she added. “So, do these people do witchcraft against me? Of course they do. And I wouldn’t be surprised if they were casting spells on me the night before.”
“These people do engage in witchcraft, they do cast spells on people,” Crokin insisted. “So I’m sure there was some spiritual stuff going on.”
The latest outrageous act by Trump is: deciding the people along the US border "might" have fake US State issued birth certificates. The burden of proof is on the citizen to provide: "evidence of mother’s prenatal care, baptismal certificate, rental agreements from when they were a baby." And even provided those the Trump Administration has claimed the proof was NOT sufficient.
Who the F*** has copies of rental agreements from when they were a baby? Or evidence of a mother’s prenatal care? Twenty, thirty, forty years ago—Trump doesn't care how idiotic and racist this demand is. He prefers to deport actual US citizens in an attempt to keep himself in power.
Trump is taking brown US Citizens and taking away their passports. Sending many to detention centers. And forcing them into immigration court, which most cannot afford, ending in their being deported by Trump.
Most RWNJs--shoot, most Americans of *all* political stripes--believe in one or more "deities."
Crokin's belief in witchcraft and spells is less conventional, but no less rational, than the typical American's god-belief.
Is it getting weird yet?
Scared little Donny is swinging so far above his intellectual head it is hilarious.
I await the implosions to follow:
Good point. Roughly 75% of Americans believe in god or some type of deity. The percentage has been slipping in the past decade or so, down from the low 80s.
But can you imagine if 1 in 4 expressions on television or any type of media expressed the disbelief as opposed to clasping hard? The country would go nuts. Trump would be delirious. Just imagine that post race or post game interview in which the athlete thanked his parents or whomever for teaching him to rely on himself instead of misplaced faith in some irrational helper.
The country would go berserk. That guy would drop below Kaepernick reputation. Yet it represents 25% of the country. That's how far asked we've gone from reality, in terms of what we accept as the norm and what we scream about.
if you actually read the story, you'll learn that the Obama admin had similar concerns and took similar actions. Apparenlty midwives in tejas would issue US birth certificates even if the baby had been born in Mexico. Admins have ever since been trying to clean it up.
But this seems to be an acceleration of the thing. And we can't trust spanky an inch, unfortunately.

It is impossible to meet the demands set by tRump. That is intentional. He needs to deport people (Hispanics) regardless of whether they are really citizens or not.
Many birth certificates are a mess. There are stories of people who have taken DNA tests and learned they were not part of the family they grew with. Some people who have investigated found hospital errors, such as misspelling a name with two babies with similar names, and looking somewhat similar, being switched. And those stories did not occur at border hospitals. They occurred to white people in the heart of the county.
Proving whether a birth certificate is real or fake or incorrect is something that cannot be resolved today. Errors of the past are errors that cannot be correct by deportation. If that were the case then Trump's family would be deported because his grandfather illegally entered the US to get away from military service in Germany. That is one reason the Trump family changed their last name from Drumpf when coming to US--to make it harder for Germany to find them.
This is probably the best foretelling of the Trump era, even though it was more than a half century ago. It sources from Lyndon Johnson. Those scared white working class males are even more scared now, as they have convinced themselves their world is being unfairly dented and ripped away from all angles. They savor Donald Trump as he hates the same people they hate, he imagines the same threats and evils they imagine, and so forth.
Awesome quote from LBJ:
"If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you."

It turns out that I did "actually read the story". Did you actually read the story?
Hate to be the one to break it to you, agip. But you're becoming kind of a dick. Try posting without the condescending horseshit. I know you can do it. You used to.
This is interesting. So basically, the government can simply declare ANY US citizen to be a non-citizen. Not that they are doing that - perhaps if you are white you do not feel threatened by this.
But think about it. Tomorrow some fed agent could come knocking on your door and declare you to be a non-citizen unless you can provide a rental agreement from 50 years ago when you were born. The implications are fairly significant.

I have to wonder if you have ever, even once, guessed correctly.

Yup. You are not fooling anyone.
You were one of the most rabid, vapid, clueless of the pro-Trump posters on this thread, along with your pal jamin (Drink Fu*ck Fight). You keep begging for Flagpole to come back here after he chose to stop posting for a while on this thread. Flagpole returned, and you disappeared. Just like that poof you go. LOL . . . you are not fooling anyone.
On threads other than this you continue to make your political posts in undying support for your hero Trump. Yet, on this thread you are poof. LOL . . . sure thing moran. . . . You are not fooling anyone. Now go crawl back into your Trump troll hole.
That’s not the point. The point is she is accusing the other side of engaging in a taboo practice knowing the “Christians” will be appalled. Why do you think she didn’t accuse Hillary of praying to Jesus for bad things to happen to her?

Belief in God is completely rational. If you really are an atheist you would have surely researched this by now. It's quite easy to find systematic, logical reasoning that argues convincingly for the existence of God. Read up on it and get back to us.
I'm not saying you have to accept any particular argument. But to say rational arguments for belief in God don't exist is intellectually dishonest.

Every "rational" argument for the existence of God can be employed to support the reality of witchcraft and spells.
Hence "Ana" is correct: "Crokin's belief in witchcraft and spells is less conventional, but no less rational, than the typical American's god-belief."

Absolutely untrue. Post an example for your claim.
