When you are guided by religion then you are guided by something other than reason and logic and that's an issue. Believing you are guided by God comes with all sorts of problems which is why we try to keep a wall between church and state. These nutters are trying to smash that wall down.i don't think that's extremism so much as its public elected and judicial figures having strong religious beliefs that inform their views, pretty normal really
I'd agree with this. It's not exactly a one to one comparison, but it's basically Newton's third law (every action has equal and opposite reaction) in motion.I’ve always thought that two party politics and first past the post voting, only enhances extremism rather than controls it. It also makes politics far more adversarial, tribal and toxic.
The extremists just in-filtrate the major parties. It’s like in the UK, many of the Tory backbenchers are basically UKIPers in all but name, and just didn’t want to jeopardise their safe seats.
Spot on, church and government should be separate. It’s what ireland has railed against for years nowWhen you are guided by religion then you are guided by something other than reason and logic and that's an issue.

Trump getting elected saw us witness the rise of AOC, Tlaib, Omar, etc. type of progressive democrats as opposition to Trump.
And then MTG, Boebert, Cawthorne types emerged as a counter to that.
Who knows what'll happen if GOP retakes control next year.
They are separate de jure wise.Spot on, church and government should be separate. It’s what ireland has railed against for years now
Don’t think anyone said it was.They are separate de jure wise.
Senators can spout theological believes to connect to their voters at the end of the day. Not against the law.
You are not wrong. Gingrich is to blame for leading the charge in the direction of polarisation and the disintegration of bipartisanship. Cnut of a man.I may be wrong but I think the US political sphere was a more cordial working relationship prior to Gingrich and ilk forcing a permanent fracturing in the 90s, which probably had existed for quite some time but went hyper-partisan.
Plus losing some lions in the Senate & House like Dole & O’Neill, etc. around the same time. House was always more contentious, but was exacerbated by the likes of Gingrich, DeLay et al.I may be wrong but I think the US political sphere was a more cordial working relationship prior to Gingrich and ilk forcing a permanent fracturing in the 90s, which probably had existed for quite some time but went hyper-partisan.

I understand it from a counterbalancing point of view, but two wrongs don't make a right.Agreed, although the Dems shouldn't practice unilateral disarmament.
And now its reported Jussie Smollett testified that CNN host Don Lemon used his contacts and tipped him off that the police had started investigating his incident as suspicious, potentially hindering the investigation.
So what I'm hearing is we might be rid of CNN Superfriends before the end of the year?And now its reported Jussie Smollett testified that CNN host Don Lemon used his contacts and tipped him off that the police had started investigating his incident as suspicious, potentially hindering the investigation.
Will be interesting to see. Obviously Lemon already has the sexual assault lawsuit pending, so will be interesting what comes from that if not the hinderence allegation.So what I'm hearing is we might be rid of CNN Superfriends before the end of the year?

Jesus, I've read about Peter Scully before, this isnt your run of the mill, vanilla, child porn.One of the videos allegedly in Duggar's possession, created by Peter Scully, depicts the rape and torture of an 18-month-old toddler
I’d never heard of him, had to close down his Wikipedia page. Some things are just too depraved to read.Jesus, I've read about Peter Scully before, this isnt your run of the mill, vanilla, child porn.
You're talking the torture/snuff film end of that spectrum.
