I'm an Australian, so some may say it's not my business, but I can't believe how many Americans support Trump blindly "because he's a Christian" (I've correspond with a few) when clearly he's the antithesis of a Christian. What Christian would engage in the sort of behavior that he does? I even have a relative over here who falls into that category. He simply can't or won't see what is in front of his nose every day and thinks the sun shines out of DTs arse. I don't really believe in the devil but if he does exist Trump must have visited the crossroads at some time
The right takes many of its cues from Vladimir Putin & Victor Orban. Both men run sophisticated mind control operations bent on subterfuge of the West.
I thought Christians believed in forgiveness. That means not holding one’s past against them. Are you railing against Trump the president who champions Americans and served the country admirably? Or Trump of earlier years of questionable moral activity?
You sound like some Americans with Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Most of us (hopefully at least a majority) will elect him to represent us the way he did in his first successful term. Anyone ( Dems) who deny the good he did then are just socialist abortion lovers.
It's scary that millions of people support Trump, but what worries me more is that so many good people are paralyzed with despair about our country. We should focus on getting Democrats and moderates to vote for Biden (and Democrats for Congress) in swing states. A candidate does not need to be perfect. Please look at Oath - https://app.oath.vote/ - where you can choose the presidency, Congress, or reproductive rights (or all 3). Oath analyzes thousands of races and tells you where to most effectively donate. If you can't afford to donate money, pls forward to everyone you know. Doing nothing is not an option. Being scared and discouraged does not justify sitting passively. I'm surprised I even need to say this to some friends.
If Trump gets back in the WH the only winners will be pissed off rich white hetero Christianist misogynists and gay haters as well as anyone who needs help from the government, especially the likes of Jeff Bezos who not only paid no taxes in 2011 and 2016 but also claimed and got a $4000 Child Care Tax Credit in one of those years. Also, Elon will do well, all the billionaires and multi millionaires except those few who want to pay actual income taxes.
In all seriousness, though, this 900 page oligarchy's wet dream will amputate whole chunks of the Constitution and there will no longer be a Bill of Rights to protect those not favored by today's supreme court (sic) majority.
Just saw an AP News article about how P25 folks/advocates are actually researching government employees they deem to be contrary to their aims…this New Era McCarthyism!
Yes, a guy named Tom Jones & 5-6 othe ppl to scour the internet, especially SM sites to see what they’ve posted, commented, shared, etc. if they aren’t pro trump MAGA, they’ll be the 1st to be fired. Just heard about it today.
Yes, do root out those Communists, Trump—that would wipe out the RNC Organized Crime Syndicate. It would also wipe out TRump and his connections with the Mogilevich Russian Mob.
Remarkable. Thankfully: my brain is firing quite well at this time; thank you very munch (😂). Oliver nailed it. My new moniker will temporarily be John Oliver… nah, extraordinary is that episode. I give him, & that episode 10 gold stars. Bingo baby! Bingo!
So sad evil is now considered mainstream and “democracy” wish we had an educated populace who understood sovereignty and the original form of our “ republic”
Lol yeah! I wonder how many of those comments actually are clueless MAGA dumbfucks, and how many of them are Russian trolls trying to instigate conflict by posting toxic bullshit to radicalize the yokels.
Donald Trump’s faithful followers who also call themselves Christian — notably U.S. congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) — need to do a major moral re-think as to which fundamental values taught and practiced by Jesus Christ they’re willing to uphold or ignore, personally and especially publicly.
I mean the Jesus Christ who hardly would roll his eyes and sigh: ‘Oh well, I’m against everything the politician stands for, but what can you do when you dislike even more some of what his political competition stands for’.
Jesus fundamentally was about non-violence, genuine compassion and non-wealth. His teachings and practices epitomize so much of the primary component of socialism — do not hoard morbidly gratuitous wealth in the midst of poverty. He clearly would not tolerate the accumulation of tens of billions of dollars by individual people — especially while so many others go hungry and homeless.
While there are many Christians who have rejected Donald Trump and his politics (though mostly quietly), regardless of his tempting conservative politics and pro-life professions, there nonetheless remains a vocal and politically active ‘Christian’ element celebrating Trump conservatism.
Trump’s extensive disgraceful conduct appears to take a muted back seat to, perhaps most notably, his successful nominations of three conservative justices for the U.S. Supreme Court; and, from my understanding, he was strategically doing likewise with a number of lower courts.
Too many adherents of institutional Christianity — those ‘Christians’ most resistant to Christ’s fundamental teachings of non-violence, compassion and non-wealth — tend to insist upon creating their creator’s nature in their own fallible and often angry, vengeful image; for example, proclaiming at publicized protests that ‘God hates’ such-and-such group of people.
Often being the most vocal, they make very bad examples of Christ’s fundamental message, especially to the young and impressionable.
It could therefore be that many followers of such ‘Christianity’ find inconvenient, if not plainly annoying, trying to reconcile the conspicuous inconsistency in the fundamental nature of the New Testament’s Jesus with the wrathful, vengeful and even jealous nature of the Old Testament’s Creator.
The Canonical depiction of Jesus describes him having a VERY different ideology to today's US Religious Right - to the extent of being almost the polar opposite. Altruism / charity, non-judgement, healthcare (well, kind of, if you count the healing instances),payment of taxes (which the religious hated doing 2,000 years ago - some things never change!), supporting refugees - and a big slice of railing against the religious authorities of the day for their over-zealous interpretations of religious law - would be severely frowned upon by today's Religious Right, who instead campaign on limiting or prohibiting abortion, while enacting religious exemptions to antidiscrimination and healthcare coverage laws (Religious Freedom seems to be interpreted as "Freedom to discriminate against people from demographics I don't like.")

True - but Orban is more of a Putin lapdog.
Orban is no Putin lover only a pragmatist who doesn’t want his country sliding down the socialist chute like his neighbors to the west
And after the recent events, I have to say "The Devil looks after his own."

Forgiveness has never meant giving someone a second chance to fuck us over again.
You probably dropped acid during Trump’s FIRST term.

“Reproductive rights” is pig with lipstick and no issue ( not even on the ballot) on which to continue on the socialist path.

I watched this and it’s really serious what we are close to allowing our country to become.
That is terrifying!! How can anyone believe this is good for our country???
The religious nut jobs who are behind it, if Trump gets in the US can't complain about Iran's religious nut jobs anymore
I'm so grateful for this! I have recommended it to everyone!

Schedule F should scare everyone blue.
You forgot banning divorce.

This came up on my feed, like this, take a look……lol
Lol! Speak of the devil!
Haha……What a coincidence, huh.
I read some of the comments on there, and they are completely delusional and very sick people……!!
Lol yeah! I wonder how many of those comments actually are clueless MAGA dumbfucks, and how many of them are Russian trolls trying to instigate conflict by posting toxic bullshit to radicalize the yokels.
Yes, I think you may well be right!
You have to be a real Dumbatz, to believe that bullshit……!
Good grief, I mean we pretty much knew that’s what they believed, but they sure aren’t being shy about it now. 🤬
