His body is nearly turned sideways, chin lifted and grinning at the camera, resting his weight on his right elbow with his left hand clasped loosely over his resting right wrist. Italicized text upon this propaganda poster reads: “RONALD REAGAN speaks out against SOCIALIZED MEDICINE”]

The fact that the greatest nation on earth had such dumbass actors presidents, is the only proof I need for the existence of the Illuminati, and their desire to pupeeteer some tv-personality they put on the throne

pictured: Ronald Reagan squinting at an America flag with fake pride. The text reads: "Will we give the Nicaraguan democratic resistance the means to recapture their betrayed revolution?"

I feel like you’re one of the few who read the picture description. Did it feel as smarmy as I intended? I’m not sure of the details vision impaired folks pick up on as smarmy.

yeah, I was cracking up 😆

Some dude miscalculated the year Jesus was born and now we're stuck using the resulting calendar centuries later

A Roman Emperor joined a Levantine cult, and now you can't get an abortion because the Supreme Court makes decisions based on Near Eastern mythology from the Iron Age.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (4 children)

To be fair, part of the popularity of the cult was that women were being forced to perform 4th trimester abortions by the pagan religions.

Nah he was in Palestine back when it was under a different foreign occupation.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

You'll find it was called Judea/Judah.

Fun Fact: Palestine is derived from Philisitine. Longest turf beef ever.

(Btw, one of Israel's propaganda points is that Palestine has never been a sovereign state therefore they don't deserve to be one now, I think this handily demonstrates one of the reasons why that's a bunch of bullshit)
