The Constitution doesn't just "make no requirement of swearing in on any object," it explicitly prohibits what this dude is demanding.
Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.
Sounds like you're remembering the Bussard Ramjet, which sucks up hydrogen from the interstellar medium to fuel a fusion reactor. It's technically possible on paper, but not even close to practical for a variety of reasons, among those being that the density of the interstellar medium is too low to provide enough fuel and fusion reactors aren't efficient enough.
They didn't say "North American," they said "American." Everyone who speaks English understands that "America" on its own is almost always in reference to the USA.
I seem to recall that the very same passage in their Bible that condemns lust as thoughtcrime also prescribes a remedy—and it's to gouge out your own leering eyes, not bar women from public spaces.
You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away; it is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.

This is one of those days where I wonder if I'm crazy or if everyone else is. I figured the blue might be fictional characters, but I have no idea which specific cat character "Figaro" is. After that I had nothing.
"Examine" "grill" and "question" seemed related but I have never ever heard "pump" used as slang for interrogation.
Most of the umbrellas I encounter do not have handles, because they’re the kind that sticks upright into a table.
I picked up on "kisser" and "peckish" ... but "bussin"? I still don't know which "kiss" synonym that's supposed to start with. Bu, bus, buss, bussi? Is one of these a real word or am I having a stroke?

"The evidence they have offered includes statements by the President so repellent and racially inflected that the majority declines to put them in print," Kagan wrote.
Other statements resurfaced by Kagan included when Trump confirmed at a 2025 rally the remark he made during his first term, saying, "Why is it we only take people from shithole countries" like "Haiti [and] Somalia" and "Why cannot we have some people from Norway [and] Sweden?"
Justice Samuel Alito had written in the majority opinion that none of Trump's or former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's statements were "overtly racial" and that opposing TPS or describing difficult conditions in Haiti didn't necessarily reflect racial bias.
I think you’re giving Genesis more credit than it deserves. It doesn’t say God used light to create anything. In most translations, it just says God created the Heavens and the Earth without specifying how. It says at first the Earth was dark and formless, until God commanded light to exist, creating day and night and evening and morning.
I’d be much more impressed if Genesis told us that the entire universe was compacted into a hot dense state ~14 billion years ago, and that during its earliest moments it passed through a decoupling of the four fundamental forces, then went through a brief moment of incredibly rapid expansion, etc. etc. … but it doesn’t. Instead it incorrectly states that the Earth predates the
stars, that day and night predate the Sun, that life on land predates life in the seas, and more. If a divine entity was capable of relating the origin of the universe and life on Earth to an ancient author, there’s no reason it couldn’t do so in a way that’s unambiguous to modern scientifically-literate readers.
I think it’s far more likely there’s no connection at all, and people only see one there because they specifically went and tried their hardest to find one, no matter how tenuous.
This is not a genuine quote from the former president's mother. […] It appears that this quote was created and exists solely for the purpose of this meme.
[…]
To sum up, there is no evidence whatsoever that the former president's mother called him "an idiot with zero common sense." We therefore rate this claim "Unfounded."
Let’s suppose the artist had publicly stated their beliefs that certain minority groups should be erased from public life, and was actively using their art profits to fund those goals.
What if someone paid the artist money for it and hung it in their living room and sang its praises to their friends & family after they found out about the artist’s beliefs, goals, and actions?
No. The power of the pardon is explicitly granted to the President in the text of the Constitution, and it provides no mechanism for reversing such pardons. It’s meant to be a check against unjust laws and/or corrupt courts, and presidents who would corruptly abuse the power for their own profit are supposed to be removed from office via impeachment—but as we’ve seen, Congress won’t even remove a president who orchestrates a mob attack against themselves as part of a scheme to overthrow an election.
If we’re going by “the Bible says,” then we also have to acknowledge that the Gospels clearly place the crucifixion right after Passover, which occurs in springtime, not in November. Either this eclipse isn’t the explanation for the alleged three hours of darkness, or the Gospels got the timeline of the Passion completely wrong.
No shit:

Haitians "probably have AIDS."
Haiti is a "shithole" country.
Haitians are "poisoning the blood" of America.
Haitian immigration is "like a death wish for our country."

ICP have a meme-famous lyric that goes thusly:
Wouldn’t that only apply if there’s lead plumbing inside your house in between the water heater and the tap?
Oh, absolutely. I’m just here to call out the inconsistency.
