    Babylon Bee is almost as good as The Onion, but not quite.

    Imagine how upset Democrats will be when they realize entire languages are based on masculine and feminine words...

    According to an incoming Biden rep, the word "Dishwasher" has been banned because it contains the word "she" and assumes that all women are good for is being in a kitchen! :roflol:

    Likely depends how much media time she gets.
    But your are correct. A double up of minority stats.

    Right?

    LOL at this ridiculousness.

    This has been building for decades. Back when Bill Mahr was funny, he had a show called, "Politically Incorrect." I wanna say it was in the 90s.

    "Senator Kamala Harris started her life’s work young. She laughs from her gut, the way you would with family, as she remembers being wheeled through an Oakland, California, civil rights march in a stroller with no straps with her parents and her uncle. At some point, she fell from the stroller (few safety regulations existed for children’s equipment back then), and the adults, caught up in the rapture of protest, just kept on marching. By the time they noticed little Kamala was gone and doubled back, she was understandably upset. “My mother tells the story about how I’m fussing,” Harris says, “and she’s like, ‘Baby, what do you want? What do you need?’ And I just looked at her and I said, ‘Fweedom.’”

    You are usually smarter than this post would indicate. Nobody in the history of prayers has ever 'misspoke' amen into 'amen and awomen'.

    If Trump fan boys get upset whenever someone points out a coorelation to Donnie that reaction by the fan boys indicates a lack of objectivity. Or worse yet it indicates that maybe "truth hurts" and that they cannot accept the truth.
    You realize that if certain names did not have to be have brought up this world would have been a better place. Example one would be happier if Stalin, Hitler, Putin or Sadam of Iraq did not have to have been brought up in political discussions about anti democratic people.

    A-moron.​

    The word “amen” comes to us from ancient Semitic, passing through Greek and Latin nearly unchanged. Its cognate in Aramaic/Syriac, amin, testifies to its relatively unchanged nature. In none of these languages did the “-men” part of the word have anything to do with gender. Its actual meaning and use is in testimony to agreement or concurrence almost exclusively in prayer or religious ritual, although that has also crossed over into slang for obvious reasons.

    May we be spared further idiocies from Democrats’ pretense that genders don’t exist?

    She stole that from MLK. Apparently plagarist Joe saw a fellow traveler in Kamala.

    Harris’ story bears a striking resemblance to one told by King in a 1965 interview published in Playboy. Said King:

    I will never forget a moment in Birmingham when a White policeman accosted a little Negro girl, seven or eight years old, who was walking in a demonstration with her mother,” King said at the time. “‘What do you want?’ the policeman asked her gruffly, and the little girl looked at him straight in the eye and answered, ‘Fee-dom.’ She couldn’t even pronounce it, but she knew. It was beautiful! Many times when I have been in sorely trying situations, the memory of that little one has come into my mind, and has buoyed me.​

    Harris is a serial liar.
    • She lied about being in “only the second class to integrate in Berkeley Public Schools.”
    • She lied when she claimed that the coronavirus pandemic “hit America worse than any other advanced nation.”
    • She lied when she claimed that Joe Biden would not ban fracking.
    She told essentially the same cute little story King did, with herself in the role of baby heroine.

    Judging by the content of the responses to this thread he has managed to TRIGGER the extreme rightwingers into their usual displays of faux poutrage.

    I appreciate the compliment, but I did preface that one possibility with he got his diploma in the mail. Again, it is too petty to get a fit over it.

    Nice of you to attack a group of people and offer no real commentary on the OP. Thanks for your non-input!

    Who care if some buffoon tried to create a artificial pronoun. Cleaver acted like a jerk and a buffoon just like Jin Jordan does at every Congressional hearing. The difference is that what Mr. Buffoon Cleaver did was harmless stupidity but what Jordan does is harmful to the country.

    Very non-binary exclusionary. He should be cancelled.

    It was not harmless. It was an introduction of a foundation of gender bias where there was no gender intention. It is political correctness gone out of control. And the reason it is not harmless is it can easily become a stepping stone to attack religious prayer and the religious organizations.

    Cleaver acting like a buffoon in this case of creating artificial pronouns is in no way anything even 99876567898754223456898754323566 light years close to an "attack " on " religious freedom". That is in my opinion one Uber super way out Concentrated Constipated Conpricay theory.
    Can you somehow try to keep you commits in the universe of reality?

    People once thought the same about the chance of women voting. It only takes a small little spark for change to begin...for the better or for the worse!

    So your commentary directed at me about my comments somehow being outside the universe of reality are offensive at best! Please focus your responses on the topic and not me in the future.

    They are not long from acknowledging all beliefs, non beliefs, every grunt, click and whistle ever uttered by every civilization. Then over time they will begin speaking in tongues and babbling exquisitely to the wonderment of all. After which a whistle will blow and everyone will go back to their tasks. Progress, liberal style.

    Sorry for you if you took offense to my opinion because it was about your opinion not you personnaly. I just do not buy into really far out slippery slope scare tactics. That was as I said in some words or another a buffoonishly poor example of pronoun manipulation. But to say that Cleavers make fool's pronoun fantasy would lead to the loss of religious freedom is in by book just too far out there to accept even as a rational probability. Just to set the base line I am not in favor of same sex "marriage". You remember all those arguments about same sex "marriage." ?!
    I heard and you must have heard some people claim that that will destroy religion. Some said that same sex marriage will be the slippery slope that will lead to men wanting to "marry" their female German Sheppards or some women will want to marry her Shetland pony. One or two sick asses maybe.

    Still the government does not tell any religion or cult that they must "marry" same sex couples. If the government did that we would have one big assed Constitutional problem and possibly a revolt.

    Don't you find it odd that some of the very same people who have fantasy nightmares about pronouns destroying religion do not see or do not care thatba POTUS is subverting our sacred Constitution ?? I find it odd and extremely dangerous that many people do not seem to care about our Constitution or our political freedoms and cheer a dictator wannabe on.

    You see what I am saying? There is fear by some about some thing that has a .00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 chance of happening has but fight under their noses a wannabe dictator is destroying our freedoms and they do not care.
