Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Why do the most voracious Xtian monsters always look like how you'd expect a demon in a skinsuit to look if demons were real?

What do you think inspired the look of a demon in a skinsuit?

They look like what they are.

This is why the second Poltergeist movies villian (evil preacher Kane) is so damned terrifying. Because you know these people exist in reality, and are just as evil as portrayed in the film.

The Late Great Julian Beck

His real life counterpart, kenneth copeland

That man's prosperity is the closest thing to convincing me that true physical evil exists.

I'm not even religious but Kenneth Copeland looks the fucking devil to me. I wouldn't trust that on the street in the middle of the day, much less at night.

Beady little pale wet eyes sunken into overmoisturized and chemically-treated skin. Oily hair too dark for its age, perfect-but-just-real-enough-looking dental work so you know it's real expensive.

Given the P in GOP, this thing probably drinks babies adrenochrome in pizza parlor basements.

I'm not even playing, Kenneth Copeland is evil.

They all look like pedo rapists. All of them.

But, no, pizzagate though, right?

Because they're monsters. They just say they're Christians because if you're religious, you pretty much communicated that you're gullible.

That guy would make a perfect Slitheen
