Ben Carson is useless.

Suck, suck, suck up to Trump.

He doesn't think we have systemic racism in this country.

He thinks 99% of cops are good.

Asked about Trump's tweets.

Wait until later this week he is going to speak,

He didn't say about what.

The entire administration is EVIL scum.

Trump and the NFL players are talking over each other.

He is taking the side of Trump.

Surprise.

Fucking scum.

Especially after hearing from the monsignor who was escorted out of St John's Church , a rector who was there 4 trumps photo op, and from the pope himself, I think it's sickening that these people can walk into a church on Sunday or any other day with a clear conscience.

have much longer careers than him.

I think the man is on drugs. I've watched him try to answer questions while not being able to open his eyes, or not knowing they were shut.

He is a stupid as they come.

I'm glad he is out of the operations room. But I wish he were somewhere where is couldn't do as much damage.

11. Of course he is, he's an SDA cultist. The irony of being a brain surgeon with no brain of his own...

And I double dare anyone to attempt a defense of this fuckwit. For me this is personal. I had to put up with his self aggrandizing bullshit for the first 18 years of my fucking life. For SDAs Carson is constantly (but very, very quietly) held up as evidence that they aren't racist (every SDA on the planet owns several copies of Gifted Hands) even though Carson himself is a rich old racist, sexist, neoconservative white man in literally every single way except skin color.

I don't know which group is more hypocritical, Southern Baptists or Seventh Day Adventists. They've both worked at it tremendously hard for over a hundred years and I think both should be recognized as global leaders in this particular field.

Plus they're kind of/sort of exactly the same.

If you were an alien visiting this planet you'd need help figuring out how the two groups are different.

- Hypocrisy on a level never before seen anywhere in human history. No, seriously, this is finger lickin' hypocrisy. Nobody does it better.

- Powerful, deep seated hatred... except we call it love, except when it refers to anything we claim god hates, which, in a strange coincidence, just happens to be everything outside of our cult.

- The foundational belief that "god will one day torture and destroy all of our enemies", which, in another odd coincidence, are also all people outside of our cult, and we believe that god is going to do this to demonstrate his love for us... somehow.

and last but not least....

-- The United States of White Male Jesus Christ! --

"CAN I GET AN AMEN!?"


So yeah, this goes a bit deep for some of us. Wow, writing that actually felt fantastic! I almost feel born again!
