    This is the flag of the New Apostolic Reformation. (In its current use)

    The group that seeks to usher in the second coming of Jesus fucking Christ.

    We tried to warn.

    Nobody listened.

      Yes, yes, but you see, Harris failed to rebuke Biden on the campaign trail, so. Obviously this needed to happen.

    Evangelicals are such dupes, they things the political right cares about them when they only give a shit about their vote.

    At the same time the political right are such dupes, they think the evangelicals care about them when really they just want too use them to jump start rapture.

    It’s like two guys trying to pickpocket each other so hard they end up wearing each other’s pants.

      “They’re believers, Mr. Howard. Pentecostalist dispensationalists—they are saved, but they are surrounded by the unsaved, and they think their master is returning imminently, and anyone who isn’t saved by the time of his arrival is doomed. So they intend to save everyone whether or not they want to be saved…”

      –Charles Stross, The Apocalypse Codex

      I trailed off that quote because it’s a spoiler.

    On June 11, Kelly Loeffler, the former senator from Georgia and current administrator of the SBA, participated in a ceremony where a new flag of the United States was raised over the agency’s headquarters. Just beneath that flag, on what appeared to be the same halyard, was an Appeal to Heaven flag. Sources tell WIRED that the “Appeal to Heaven” flag was raised for less than a day.

    Oh she’s a piece of shit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_Loeffler#COVID-19_insider_trading_investigation
