"It would be an upgrade from, in my opinion, Donald Trump and perhaps also from Joe Biden," the Republican senator said.

          That’s a new one.

          Oh it really is a new one.

          https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/boycott-looms-for-kellogg-s-froot-loops-for-pushing-woke-agenda-on-kids/ar-AA1kw2QO

          Many former fans are toying with the idea of a boycott since word started circulating on social media about Kellogg’s Froot Loops promoting a digital library “with equity, diversity and inclusion content” advertised on boxes of the cereal in Canada.

          The digital library website, co-sponsored by Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada, allows limited access to all users who confirm they are at least 13 years old, and additional access with a code found inside the specially marked boxes of Froot Loops.

          Thank you, Canada, aggravate away. Gonna go buy some to support the cause and see if I can get some repubs I know on the mailing list or something.

            I was wondering why my neighbor was out in his front yard burning boxes of breakfast cereal. His wife was pissed too, she was carrying the AR-15.

              It’s a hell of a time when you can’t be certain if this insane collection of words is sincere or not. All of it. It could go either way.

                You’re not going to believe this, but France, Norway, Austria and Finland have all banned fruit loops.

                  Between the sugar content, preservatives and food coloring that wouldn’t surprise me in the least.

                  edit: bingo, preservatives and coloring

                  Must say I’d like to try those versions with natural flavoring.

                If you were worried about gay indoctrination then why did you feed your kids the rainbow cereal before?

                They get really frustrated over this because they can’t call you gay as a retort

        If things aren’t bad, then the religion they tend to have in common is false, because it promises a depraved and lawless world that needs their religion in order to survive.

        Can’t even begin to countenance that people are happy and altruistic in spite of their religion.

          It’s especially hilarious when you see how antithetical it is to their holy book. Chronically angry and infuriated is not how I would describe the depiction of Jesus. When he did get angry, it was against people being hypocrites or selling things in the temple or mistreating the poor & foreigners.

          They’ve created a religion that is antithetical to their holy book, and they’re told to rage against the very things their figurehead would support. It’s no wonder evangelicals want kids to be illiterate.

      That’s because black people could get the same healthcare as them or read about their mistreatment in the past. Can’t have that.
