If Gavin Newsom is the source for the claim that Gavin Newsom didn't know the Guard was going to be mobilized and did not want to allow it to happen, the most charitable interpretation I'll commit to is that we don't know the truth. The dude has two faces.

I try not to be a grammar Nazi, but at this point, the next time I hear someone confuse "in" and "on", or use "floor" when they mean "ground", I hope they stub their toe so hard the entire nail gets ripped out.
Ah yes, churches, famously universal in doctrine.
Me when I skim and then jump to conclusions
It would have been nice to see what this comic was about, instead of instantly getting a reactive full-page ad begging me to sign up for a newsletter. Onto the permanent shit list it goes.
State policy ≠ party platform
The United States was going to bomb civilians either way, protest voters ensured it will be worse.
Also that's not how this meme works, are you 90?
There are a lot of mental gymnastics involved in making "if you kill this sapient orchid monster, you will get back the two people it ate" into a moral quandry when it was actually the only moral choice Janeway had; I will brook no disagreement.
People like that, who almost universally profess Christian faith, should be attentive to the words of the early Church fathers on the intrinsically corrupting nature of wealth:
"The rich are in possession of the goods of the poor, even if they have acquired them honestly or inherited them legally."
— John Chrysostom
"You are not making a gift of your possession to the poor person. You are handing over to him what is his."
— Ambrose of Milan
"The property of the wealthy holds them in chains [...] which shackle their courage and choke their faith and hamper their judgment and throttle their souls. They think of themselves as owners, whereas it is they rather who are owned: enslaved as they are to their own property, they are not the masters of their money but its slaves."
—Cyprian
And for a direct Bible passage, it's hard to be more succinct than James.
That's just amateur hour. Just try to avoid showing the crowd at all and flagrantly lie about attendance figures, like MLS.
