Yeah but if you calculate your supplies in Terrymath you'll survive the trail until Oregon, but then the game goes to stage 2: Organ Trail

Time to break out my favorite Barry Goldwater quotes:

Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.

And:

I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue!

Or:

Those who seek absolute power, even though they seek it to do what they regard as good, are simply demanding the right to enforce their own version of heaven on earth. And let me remind you, they are the very ones who always create the most hellish tyrannies. Absolute power does corrupt, and those who seek it must be suspect and must be opposed. Their mistaken course stems from false notions of equality, ladies and gentlemen. Equality, rightly understood, as our founding fathers understood it, leads to liberty and to the emancipation of creative differences. Wrongly understood, as it has been so tragically in our time, it leads first to conformity and then to despotism. Fellow Republicans, it is the cause of Republicanism to resist concentrations of power, private or public, which enforce such conformity and inflict such despotism. It is the cause of Republicanism to ensure that power remains in the hands of the people.

Last one for now:

I'm frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in "A," "B," "C" and "D." Just who do they think they are? And from where do they presume to claim the right to dictate their moral beliefs to me? And I am even more angry as a legislator who must endure the threats of every religious group who thinks it has some God-granted right to control my vote on every roll call in the Senate. I am warning them today: I will fight them every step of the way if they try to dictate their moral convictions to all Americans in the name of "conservatism."

This Republican Senator was telling it like it was all the way back in the 60's.

You're acting like the Catholic Church is well regarded in England at all, lol, a certain British King put an end to all of that, and the Catholic Church helped wage a proxy war in Ireland for centuries in retaliation, with the poor Irish caught in the middle being used and abused by both sides.

My point is, the BBC absolutely reports on priests/clerics getting in trouble for pedo stuff all of the time, both Catholic and all of the other flavors, including Islam. Sure the BBC is a biased government controlled media entity, but in this regard they do plenty of reporting on religious pedos, now if only they would out some of the government pedos in the British government.

FAFO

Don't you go dissing Terryology!

How else is he going to receive aid from the cops and the MAGAGOP?

It's all such a tricky situation, we all know Putin isn't going to deal in good faith, so you just have to kinda walk this tightrope, and that's what Biden and NATO are doing, and why Ukraine wasn't just brought into NATO already.

Trump is more likely to win than we are to see Putin toppled.

While you're definitely right, that just means we still have a problem until Puty dies or gets dethroned, and once Puty dies it's going to create quite the anxiety inducing power vacuum.

but it's afraid of it winning

No, the US leadership is dealing with a bully with nuclear weapons, sure we can take a chance, do some surgical attacks to limit any launches and such, but that would be a big time escalation, and we're not there yet, and that escalation would mean a lot more people would die, a lot lot more.

The main strategy has been to try to strangle Russia economically and isolate them to wear down the populace and hopefully force either a retreat or a change in leadership, all while providing Ukraine with what they needed to halt Russia's advances. However, thanks to the MAGA/Putin alliance they have successfully stalled our resupply efforts to Ukraine, thus giving Putin more time to keep pushing and costing Ukraine lives that they can't waste while fighting a numerically superior opponent.

So ultimately Trump's lunatics are who aren't afraid of winning, they don't want Ukraine to win, because Trump is Putin's cock holster and they are Trump's cult who follow his signals for everything and anything. There's no fear of winning, only betrayal and treasons prolonging the problem.

They're talking about Democrat Hakeem Jefferies taking over the speakership since the margins are that thin, I guess we'll see, but great timing for the MAGA/GOP to keep showing that it's a shit show.
