I would just borrow 150 million from a bank based on the verdict, and then tell the bank to send the creditors after Rudy to collect

Funny how fast the magats have completely abandoned Rudy now that hes no longer a useful idiot for them.

complete with a thinly veiled threat of violence and bloodshed

There wont be any bloodshed if we stop resisting!!!

Ya, ‘thecut’ is a super reputable source for news and information. Nice bot.

ya but he did though, until someone provides actual evidence that he didnt. Lots of people in his exact same position do kill themselves.

Lets try to be better than the trump filth that push insane conspiracy sh!t all the time please.

Let’s fuck up Mars

I wouldnt worry about that, we can barely fund NASA, we aint going anywhere anytime soon

We just build a planet-sized sunshade to freeze the atmosphere

Cost, 100 to 1000 trillion. We can barely fund NASA

Venus on the other hand could realistically function as a second earth if we clean up the atmosphere

The cost would thousand of trillions at least, in fact it may cost more money to do something like that than currently exists. We can barely fund NASA.

Frankly if humanity ever could get together politically to allocate enough resources to do anything like this, Im fairly sure a few greedy billionaires would stick most of those public funds in their pockets, and we’d end up with nothing at the end.

Im sorry to say Im pretty pessimistic about us as a species getting anywhere. Hell we’re 80 year out from WW2 and still struggling to control fascism.

He wasnt awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges??

After seeing Biden in the last debate, I believe they are right

Yes lets judge a mans entire career based on one off night.

I dunno… sugar is sugar, carbs are carbs, protein is protein, your body is not prejudiced as to where those components comes from

Even assuming the passage is totally genuine, two fires had destroyed much in the way of official documents Tacitus had to work with and it is unlikely that he would sift through what he did have to find the record of an obscure crucifixion, which suggests that Tacitus was repeating an urban myth whose source was likely the Christians themselves,[3]:344 especially since Tacitus was writing at a time when at least the three synoptic gospels are thought to already have been in circulation.

According to Bart Ehrman, Josephus’ passage about Jesus was altered by a Christian scribe, including the reference to Jesus as the Messiah

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josephus_on_Jesus

Scholars have differing opinions on the total or partial authenticity of the reference in the passage to the execution of Jesus by Pontius Pilate.[15][30] The general scholarly view is that while the Testimonium Flavianum is most likely not authentic.

Respected Christian scholar R. T. France, for example, does not believe that the Tacitus passage provides sufficient independent testimony for the existence of Jesus [Franc.EvJ, 23] and agrees with G. A. Wells that the citation is of little value

A. The first line of the Tacitus passage says Chrestians, not Christians.

Suetonius says Chrestus was personally starting trouble in Rome during the reign of Claudius.

Suetonius is writing years after Tacitus yet doesn’t mention that Chrestus died.

So Chrestus can’t be Jesus because it’s the wrong decade, wrong continent and missing a death.

B. The second line in Tacitus that mentions Christ and his death was never noticed until after the mid-fourth century. So this second line is fake.

P.S. Even if the second line was somehow authentic, the information would have come from Christians. This would be the equivalent of deriving Abraham’s biography by talking to Muslims.

This is why Bart Ehrman specifically dismisses Tacitus and Josephus. As do most other biblical scholars.

In the immortal words of Christopher Hitchens, if this is all you got, you are holding an empty bag.

There are lots of people now today who claim to be god, claim to be jesus, claim to have magic powers. so it would appear this is just normal human behavior and has been for a very long time. But the main reason people continue to believe these ancient holy books and all the stories in them is literally because they are protected from inquiry. So Jeff down the street claims to be jesus? We can go test him and try to falsify his claims. But some guy 2000 years ago, ya its not possible to check that one out. And That is why they persist, its by design.

then that mean 90% of historical figures can’t be proven to have existed

Well for most of those we tend to use independent verification for their existence. And in the case of jesus, we have literally zero Credible examples of independent verification.

Pretty sure Joe Rogan said

ya you lost me at Rogan

Use of modern technology makes it possible to place one stone every 20 seconds, which is triple the rate ancient egypt workers supposedly aceived

Um, maybe Im missing something… you think ancient Egyptians placed one stone every minute? So 60 stones per hour??

Does anybody actually know what the restaurant’s policy is on masks

Yes, the owner of that restaurant is a conservadpshit moron. Thats the policy.

covid is the only infectious disease facemasks can reduce the spread of

And as usual the conservamorons are like “mAsK WaSnT 100% eFfEcTiVe!!!” In their backwards universe if something is only 85% effective, its the same as it being 0% effective.

I don’t want people forcing me to wear a mask when covid was a problem 4 years ago

Im sorry to tell you and all conservasuckers this fact, respiratory viruses are on the rise in the last few decades, the next global pandemic which may be worse than covid, is probably going to happen less than 10 years from now. How yall gonna freak out when that one comes chum?

Man youd get covered in bugs so fast… not sure it would be as enjoyable as we think
