Fox fires thumper extraordinaire Eric Bolling for sending dick pics...

...to at least three women.  And all the time, Bolling was bragging about how religious he was, going to Mass every day:

"I'm a Catholic, a practicing, unapologetic, and I'm thrilled that I can do it because if you like me, listen to me, I hope that you realize that what I am, came from a lot of years going to church, listening, praying for forgiveness. I'm not perfect, never said I am; but I think it certainly makes me a better person."

Bolling was also very proud of his only child, Eric Chase Bolling, Jr., frequently mentioning Junior on "The Five,"the Fox News show he co-hosted.  Bolling told a "heart warming" story about how his son accompanied him to Easter Mass even though the boy wasn't asked to do so.  Awww, how sweet.

 So what good did all this thumping do for Bolling?  On the same day that Bolling was shitcanned from Fox for being a fucking pervert, Junior was found dead.  Although the results of the autopsy are not in yet, suicide is suspected.

The moral of the story - don't be a thumper and don't name your son "Junior."  The sins of the father will be visited upon the son.  It's too late for Bolling (and Trump Jr.) but not for the rest of us.

Twenty little innocent babies were shot dead at Newtown Elementary School in December 2012.    Redneck Neo Nazis just yawned and said "this is America".    Roll Over moron.

You continue to set your standards much too high for "Happy Chump."  Thought you would know by now.  Even on the few occasions I even bother to read his garbage, I have this filter that weeds out the biggest chunks of his excrement and end up with little or no reaction at all.  He can no longer surprise me with his stupidity.

 
You already know he will continue to throw, lies, deflections, and his "fake news" mantra at you.

 
Maybe his great grandchild or live in nurse will explain to him, that the point of all this was the kind of hypocrite Eric Bolling showed himself to be NOT that he sent anyone "dick pics."  Not sure if "Happy Chump" is getting more and more senile and we need to show some respect for the truly, elderly or if he is getting more and more brain dead.  Then again, it just may be his typical ploy and he is simply deflecting.

 
In the end, no matter, "Happy Chump" will never have a clue and we should all give him a pass and move on, as he has yet to post anything on TER that could pass the 5th grade test.

I know nothing about Eric Boiling other than he said: "America was certainly safe between 2000 and 2008. I don't remember any attacks on American soil during that period of time." —Fox News Channel host Eric Bolling, forgetting 9/11 (July 2011) And, I have no idea the emotional state the his son was in, and how he got there, before taking the drug overdose. And, I have no problems with thumpers. Most will never make the news because most of them quietly work, raise family who contribute positively to our country. The real problem, as I see it, whether one is a thumper or not, is a parent has to walk the walk he's espousing to his children. We expect our kids to be able to compartmentalize the world of conflicting emotions, surrounding information, and realities. Our children listen, even when we believe they're not. When we demonstrate that when desiring something, we are entitled to it, it's not a leap to believe that if we desire to do something, we are entitled to do it, and no matter what we tell our kids. They can sniff out the hypocrisy, and believe what's 'good for the goose is good for the gander.' Being a thumper just means the bar my be set higher. ;)

While it is true you did not directly say it, however, based on your past you are clearly ecstatic that  Bolling’s son is dead. You take great joy and pleasure in the heartache and misery of others especially those you disagree.  

Since Bolling was shit canned I have to assume that the investigation found he was sending/texting photos of his dick to ladies not wanting said photos. Therefore he deserved and should be shit canned. The fact you posted about it in the way you did it is clear that you take great pleasure in the fact that his son is dead.

Also since you went out of your way to emphasize and point out that Boling’s son is “junior” you are wrong, since Eric Chase Bolling the son of Eric Thomas Bolling is not “junior” because they do not have the same middle name.

You’re Welcome

If it isn't, it will certainly do until the really fucked up day gets here.  Sometimes you have wonder about Gods sense of humor.  You know he's just fucking with us until he decides to pull the plug on it all and let the cockroaches take over.

God may have a sense of humor, but make certain you are laughing with him, not at him! ;)

but I do laugh at the very idea of an "all knowing, all powerful deity that requires humans worship him in order to be spared an eternity of burning in a lake of fire"  

 
Any one hearing about the Christian, Muslim, Buddhist et al version of God for the first time as a full grown adult would have to LOL at the prospect of living your entire life in fear of a fairy tale. I still find myself LMAO at the silly things grown ass adults believe in. "God" being way towards the top of that list. lol

It was just a riffing off the previous post, with an attempt at humor; not a statement of faith! ;)

You remember the one where you refused to admit you go out of your way to defend religion.

 
and as a follow up to my earlier post, I don't "laugh at God" because that would mean I would have to believe in a God to laugh at him/her/it. I will admit to laughing at the concept of an all knowing God that really give a fuck how we live our lives.

Articulate, insightful, right to the point, and completely factual.  

 
Except, most schools of Buddhism do NOT believe in a "god" per se.  Buddha means enlightened one, or sage.  He was a teacher who tried to teach human beings how to overcome suffering and get the most out of human life.  He taught for     50 years and his teachings were documented in sutras.  Those over 80,000 sutras today, comprise a variety of interpretations of his lectures.  The fact there are so many interpretations of what he taught, explains why there are many different schools of Buddhism.

 
Yet, the major flaw of ALL organized religion, is that each teaches one can attain "whatever they are selling," only by following THEIR brand of religion.

If you don't like me calling you out for making dumb statements, maybe you should try NOT making dumb statements.

No room for humor at all. I live and work in a community close to CalTech, JPL and NASA. One would be surprised at the number of steely mind scientist, with high IQ's, who believe in God. Not so much like the Pence, who believes true believers have a personal relationship with God through Christ, but they believe in one much more a higher power, or grand designer. Many of them even go to church, synagogue or temple. But, then as the article I linked yesterday, and just now points out, we believe what we want to believe and choose or reject any evidence that goes against it. So, some people choose to believe in God, while others choose not to believe in God. I enjoy listening to those, who are willing to tell me, how they came to believe or disbelieve, and I find their reasoning, either way, makes a lot of sense. One develops a personal connection, even perhaps for a brief moment in time, with the other when doing so.  Funny how that doesn't happen when we are judging one another based on their beliefs, faith or lack of faith.

Anyway, today we're in for the second installment, and there may be hope: "So while data is important for uncovering the truth, it is not enough for convincing people of that truth.
We should not, however, be discouraged. The solution, I believe, is not to fight the way our brain works, but to go along with it. We should take our biases into account and use them when trying to convey our truth.
How exactly can we do that?
This is the first in a two-part op-ed by Tali Sharot. The second part will follow Thursday."
