Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

The televangelist told host Steve Gruber, “If there’s ever a time that a decision has to be made and we don’t agree on something, he’s the head.”

“It’s not hard to submit,” she added.

(Later in story...)

White, who has been divorced twice,

Maybe it's been a bit harder for this cosplaying trad-wife loony-toon to submit than she's willing to admit...???

🤷‍♂️ 🙄 🤡

they're all con artists. they actually believe about 0% of the bullshit they spew 24/7. it doesn't matter because their cultist followers believe 100% and provide money and votes, in exchange for being told that jesus loves racism and sexism, and hates brown people and gays

I figure the Righteous Gemstones is about as close as it gets to the truth about these "religious advisors".

White, who has been divorced twice,

Family values am I right? Bet she has a vaginal resurrection before each wedding so she could wear white at the ceremony.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Very true. I'm thinking it's all about the grift.

Also, I first read it as this: "...and we don’t agree on something, he gets head."

I guess that's one way to come to an agreement.

This is nothing but a counterpoint anecdote to the article (not a counterpoint to your comment).

My wife and I also mutually prefer a more traditional family dynamic for ourselves but have no belief that it's the best way or right for anyone else. We needed a tiebreaker system and for better or worse we also chose that I am the ultimate authority when we disagree.

It doesn't come up often, but when it does, more often than not, I'll choose her side over my own because if everything goes to shit she doesn't tell me I told you so because I did what she wanted, and I don't get to say it either because the final choice was mine and if I didn't put my foot down for my beliefs that's my own fucking fault.

I wish someone had laid that out for me in the beginning because I feel like I got a raw fucking deal. She gets to whine and pout and stomp her feet while I'm forced to be logical and judicious. Sometimes I want to just damn logic and demand a certain outcome just because I really want it.

Not really a point here other than, if you genuinely care for your partner, having the final say isn't all it's cracked up to be. And if someone thinks being in charge means they always get their way... I lose all respect for them.

You came to realize that marriage is a partnership. Your spouse is your partner, not your mother/father, not your caregiver (unless necessary via illness.)

Good for you.
