Let's pretend for one moment that he does die before the election, just for the funsies. What happens then? Will the nomination revert to option number 2, aka Bernie Sanders? Or will his running mate automatically replace him just the way Vice-President is supposted to step in after the Big Man in the White House chokes on a piece of matzo? Does he even have a running mate yet?

Just like Twitter isn't real life and doesn't represent the opinions of Joe Sixpack, so isn't the ghosts of late night TV (Kimmel, Colbert, Fallon, etc.).

I've always loved how they act like Hell will just be some city or something ruled by a dude who happens to be red with horns. They'll be able to party all the time and have little gay field trips and shit.

Not, you know, eternal torment.

Depending on which denomination you ask, Hell and Heaven are the same place, but the damned have the spiritual equivalent of an anaphylactic reaction to so much unadulterated good for all eternity.

The memorial has since been put back up. If nothing else, the sheer scale of the backlash against this stuff reminds me that plenty of people still care. YAF posted an article about it:

Student Senator Caught Throwing Away Flags from 9/11 Memorial at WashU

Authored by Julia Johnson
September 11, 2021

A student senator at Washington University in St. Louis was caught red-handed stealing flags from a 9/11 memorial display and stuffing them in trash bags on September 11.

YAF was alerted on Saturday that a memorial display had been destroyed by a member of student government at WU. The school is a participant in YAF’s 9/11: Never Forget Project, in which 2,977 flags are planted in the ground, one for each innocent murdered by radical Islamic terrorists.

Nathaniel Hope, a member of the WU College Republicans, filmed student Fadel Alkilani carrying multiple trash bags stuffed with American flags he had plucked from the ground, as he continued to steal more. He appeared agitated at Hope for filming him destroying the display.

Alkilani had “no remorse,” Hope told YAF.

“He said that it was in violation of school rules,” Hope added. “He was also saying profanity.”

Further research revealed that Alkilani is also the chairman of the student senate finance committee, which is charged with doling out funds to student organizations.

YAF reached out to the Alkilani who replied, “I did not violate any university or legal policy. Now go away.”

In response to one twitter user, he said he stole the flags as an act of “protest against American imperialism and the 900,000 lives lost as a result of post 9/11 war.”

According to students participating in the 9/11: Never Forget Project at WU, Alkilani also tried to destroy the display Friday night. He was told to stop after campus police were called. After being caught this morning, campus police were notified once more. This time they warned Alkilani he would be arrested if he disrupted the display again.

The stolen flags were eventually planted once more for the viewing and remembrance of everyone on campus.

Nick Rodriguez, chair of the conservative group on campus, told YAF the incident shows the school has become “infected” with toxic campus culture. “To see a non-partisan, non-political memorial, disgraced without a swift response from the university says volumes.”

Similarly, YAF reported Saturday on a 9/11 display that was vandalized Friday night at Michigan State University. Unfortunately, this is not an isolated incident.

Not only have people forgotten, but some are actively working to stifle remembrance. If we don’t remember September 11, 2001, and why we were targeted, history is bound to repeat itself. Our freedom and our way of life is still threatened. We must work that much harder to remember.

YAF reached out to Washington University asking them whether the student would face any disciplinary measures.

The university responded with the following statement:

“We were disappointed to learn about the disruption to the 9/11 display on Mudd Field. We condemn the interference with the expression of support by the College Republicans for the victims of the national tragedy that took place 20 years ago today. The actions surrounding this incident were not on behalf of the university or a university-sponsored organization. We value freedom of expression in all forms and will work to ensure that all students are able to express their points of view through appropriate channels without disrupting the rights of others to show support for causes they care about. This is a critical component of our core values and we are committed to facilitating free speech on our campus.”

They did not address whether the student would face any disciplinary measures.

To voice your concern contact Associate Vice Chancellor and Dean of Students Rob Wild at Rob.wild@wustl.edu.

They want to blow you up. They're literally saying this.

Bush Jr. just gave a speech saying that we should confront domestic extremists with the same vigor that we did foreign terrorists.

That means air strikes on you, your family and your community.

There's a reason they keep calling Jan 6 a terrorist event. And there's a reason they're trying to push the definition of "terrorism" to include anti-mandate and anti-lockdown.

It's because they're trying to justify violence. That's the only place this road ends.

I used to think the increase in polarizing hyperbole from politicians is just a sign of the social media age, where they know the most effective way to get their message to spread is to present it in the most extreme way possible. While that may still be true, I'm not going to be naïve to the other signs.

They are trying to prime their base to accept violence against the out-group. I know twitter isn't real life, but I can't say I'm thrilled about how well it seems to be working.

Look at how the fatal shooting of Ashli Babbitt was justified by them after they spent last year wailing about police murdering "unarmed" black people. Later on in April, a cop was arrested because she shot a black man with her firearm instead of her taser. Meanwhile this Capitol Police officer went straight for the lethal force option with Ashli even though the footage shows other cops could have subdued her.

A common narrative I hear a lot is that the dead really are just fucking dead. Nobody's in heaven or hell as we speak. Hell just refers to Earth during the really shitty parts of Revelation and Heaven is the Kingdom of God which flourishes after the sin is wiped away from the Earth and the righteous are resurrected.

That’s pre-Neoplatonist views on the afterlife. Modern Christians (and Medieval ones too) want something very immediate once they’re dead, and so the Judgement got moved from “end of time” to “constant, always happening”.

Yeah, I believe in Orthodoxy everyone’s stuck just sort of being dead until the end of time when resurrection happens unless you’re a saint, in which case you get to wait in the heaven lobby. I still don’t quite get the aerial toll houses thing though. That happens somewhere between dying and the resurrection.

This, keep in mind Jimmy Kimmel gets less than 500K views https://deadline.com/2021/06/late-n...ins-season-fifth-consecutive-year-1234772290/

Effectively, Twitter and the Late shows overlap, Twitter provides the echo chamber, while the Late shows provide the confirmation bias. Creating a self-reinforcing echo chamber.

LOL NO, cause Justinian actually did shit to improve the state of the Byzantine Empire during his reign, whereas Biden has not only not improved the state of America, he has quantifiably made it worse. The mental gymnastics of these people would make you a multiple time gold Olympic medalist if you were to perform them physically.
