What about Scientology?
Is it disqualified for being too recently invented? How does THAT work?

And no FSM. Geez. Just when you get new religious headgear from Crate & Barrel.

Well, there is catch-all category called "Other" for all the miscellaneous religions out there.

What if I DONT WANT TO BE A “OTHER”!??!?

That's what you conclude from my post (#4693)? You need some help with reading comprehension. I was merely pointing out that the Mormons' complaints have been addressed, and the list was updated to their satisfaction. I was not indicating any personal preference on how the religions should be organized in the military. I honestly don't care that much. I've been an atheist for almost 50 years. If I'm to be honest, I think all religions, Christian and otherwise, are kooky. If religious people want to squabble about how they are revered and organized, fine by me. Have at it. To me, it's like watching Santa Claus and Easter Bunny fighting in the boxing ring over which one of them is real and which one is imaginary.

In case anyone is interested, this article has an interesting comparison between the new and old codes:

From 200-Plus to 31: How the Pentagon Cut Religion Codes

I think I would have to agree that the number of obscure religions got a little out of hand. The Church of the Spiral Tree? Sacred Well Congregation? Kansas Yearly Meeting of Friends? Schwenkfelder Churches? Are chaplains expected to know the basic tenents of all these obscure denominations?

Two obvious ones missing

• Jedi
• Flying Spaghetti Monster

...or he means that the US escorted ships out. Which of they did, it would be the dumbest thing for Trump to say in public.

Which is stated just above me. Sorry for the echo.

There are lots of echoes bouncing around out there.

Lots of rain and thunderstorms for Sunday in DC for Trump's outdoor UFC event.

First god sends the plague on Trump. Now pestilence and storms. Maybe there really is something to this god thing after all.

Naaaahhhhh...

Remember: Vance and Thiel are in the same cabal of Christian Apocalypse Engineers.

These are folks who are going to turn on Trump and disown him the second the corpse gets smelly, metaphorically speaking.

They will pretend like the dickins to be aligned with "the second coming", whatever that is.

Anything "plaguing" Trump is just as likely to be the predictable consequences of actions those folks provoke.

Well a bit of good news. Federal Judges order the National Parks to stop removing signage that explained about slavery, Native Americans, climate change, etc.. and to put them back up.

Of course the Department of the Interior spokesperson said something asinine in response.

Katie Martin, a spokeswoman for the Interior Department, the parent agency of the Park Service, suggested that the administration would appeal the ruling.

“This ruling is from a liberal activist judge,” Ms. Martin said in an email. “The department will look at our appeal options while we celebrate U.F.C. Freedom 250 on the South Lawn of the White House this weekend in honor of our nation’s 250th with the greatest president in the history of our country — President Donald J. Trump.”

These sycophants always have to praise Trump in the stupidest ways. Feed the little man's ego.

Judge Blocks National Parks From Removing ‘Negative’ Signs and Depictions of Slavery

The ruling accused the Trump administration of engaging in censorship by taking down materials at parks across the country.

Lights from Trump’s White House UFC fight are blinding pilots at DC airport

The pilot also contacted a local FAA office directly to report the situation. According to the pilot, FAA personnel advised them to contact the White House regarding the lighting concerns.

Wait, what? When did that become a part of the pilot's job? Surely it would be a job for the local FAA office to contact the White House and tell them to turn the damn lights off.

T-Storm line trending evening hours, possibly severe (no hail / tornado threat). Is there a place to hide when it rains? Trump is moved inside while everyone else that spent a fortune to attend are left stranded.

Also, after it rains, it'll be muggy as heck. Not as hot, but it is not going to be remotely comfortable. Happy Birthday!

As a reminder, Yahweh more punished Egypt than Pharoah. Also, it'd be pretty darn hard for Yahweh to harden Trump's heart.

But the Lord hardened Trump's he...
Well... he tried to harden, but was finding it difficult.
The Lord was struggling to find any sense of empathy or decency...
Nothing was there, nothing left to harden.
What an asshole, thought the Lord.

Wait, Trump built something else without getting the required legal permits? Again? I'm shocked that he would blow off the law. He's such an honest, law-abiding criminal.

Ok, nix on the hardening. How about some good old fashioned smiting?
Not asking for a plague, just one decent smite!

So the ballroom... any private donations to pay for it?

Five months after the demolition of the White House’s East Wing, President Donald Trump claimed that the project to construct a massive ballroom and a bunker in its place would cost up to $400 million and that private donors would pay for all of it.

...

But a detailed project summary prepared for the White House by the contractor more than three weeks before Trump’s comments estimated the total construction cost at $600 million — with more than half coming from taxpayers, according to a copy of the contractor estimate obtained by The Washington Post.

This is what I think is critical.

White House officials received a preliminary estimate, dated July 11, projecting that construction would cost $270 million, with over $100 million coming from taxpayers through the Secret Service and the White House Military Office, the records show.

Emails from that time show that administration officials planned to use $3.6 million of Secret Service money to cover initial expenses for site preparation before demolition.

If private donations are paying for this, why did initial expenses need to be paid with public money? That indicates there is no pool of private donations, and that Trump was likely 'counting' on money that may or may never be donated. These assholes tore down the east wing of the White House to build something with money they never had. Which is probably why Trump wanted the GOP to pass $1 billion for "security" spending on the ballroom because the "money" from "donations" was never going to exist.
