      A rainbow appearing in the sky over Dublin on the day that Ireland voted to legalize same-sex marriage? A tornado destroying the house of Rep. Joe Harding, who authored the infamous “Don’t Say Gay” bill in Florida?

      The mistake you are making is assuming religious people are capable of logic, reasoning, or changing their minds. God himself could appear and tell them they are wrong and they wouldn’t believe it, because their existing beliefs are a forgone conclusion. They did not arrive at them by reason or logic and they will not be moved by reason or logic.

    Sure would be nice if the media would stop just repeating his bullshit at face value.

    “celebrating 250 years of the U.S. military…” Fuck off. Trump doesn’t give a shit about the military. He wants a show for himself on his birthday. They should make that perfectly clear each and every time instead of just repeating whatever inane bullshit hillbilly barbie says at the podium.

              They were also born within a week of eachother. Hitler was a huge Chaplin fan, hence the mustache if I recall correctly.

                Absolutely incredible (and hilarious) film.

                It also came out in 1940, which, given how cutting the satire was, is pretty fucking ballsy.

          Honestly, the mustache is one of the least awful things about him and shouldn’t have caught on as a nazi thing.

          But I don’t grow facial hair anyway and personally think neat mustaches look dumb on everyone except tom Lennon, so I don’t really know why I’m standing on a soapbox about it.
