It’s really funny to me that all the “Christians” in government literally have none of the values Christ did. I’ll bet if I asked them what their favorite Bible verse was they couldn’t answer.
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
-President Trump, just this year.
He never meant it. And all of the cons hate ACTUAL freedom. Meaning, the kind of freedom that includes freedom FROM religion. Not just the “freedom” to select from a set of talibangelical cults.
Like we should listen to this asshole.
Yeah, let’s just ignore the First fucking Amendment and basically any freedom that actually matters. Go fuck yourself.
What the actual fuck.
There is this global retreat from rationality it seems.
Why do I need a church?Something I’m confused about: if Republicans believe government policy should be based on Christian values, why are they against government programs helping the poor?
They believe in the bible/Christianity insofar that it affirms their preconceived notions.
They just believe in the most hateful parts they can cherrypick to fit their ideology. Putting women, gays, blacks and the non-believers in their place.

I wonder if any of the dumbasses that are still supporting donvict yet understand what this would mean?
Log Cabin twats like Peter Thiel? These motherfuckers will come for YOU eventually, Einstein. Same for the likes of Tammy Bruce - an openly gay lesbian won’t be in a position of leadership, what kind of gawdly message is that going to send? The Libertarian dumbfuck techbros still underwriting this shit, that are also hard atheist? You too, motherfuckers! Fast talking fools like Ben Shapiro and Stephen Miller? You guys are Jewish! Are you kidding?
The loudmouth uppity women like Beetlebert and Marjorie Trailer Queen and Kristi “dog murderer” Noem and Karoline Leavitt? You too - the Babble bangers won’t be having YOU ruling over men, what are you even thinking? Best you can hope for is marrying some powerful man that keeps a roof over your head while he bangs some younger handmaidens to raise a crop of kids with his superior genes.
I will never forget.
That’s because Trump thinks that he is god
Let’s just forget about the right to bear arms
Yeah! Let’s arm all the bears! My favorite one is the shotgun bear.
Some people like the Kodiak or Polar bears. Me, I like my Browning Bears with .50 BMG (Big Mean Grizzly)
Sooner forget about the separation of his head from his shoulders but that ain’t happening either
Raytheon, deliver us.
I’d like to just forget about the church altogether
there’s a lot going on in this article, but this part in particular is… uhh … a really special form of religious virtue…
I wish had no scruples because then I could sell people angels for $1,000
I love how the most devout Christians are always always complete shitheads
Given the shitheads who’d actually buy that crap, I’d say this is one group of people to scam the shit out of without fear of compromising one’s scruples.
The people who buy that crap are victims. Uneducated by the state and propagandized into eternal fear by the media and religion.
They’re going to send their money off to scammers anyway. Might as well redirect it somewhere were it won’t be used by straight up evil people doing straight up evil shit.
I’m also not sure how much I believe in their “victim” status. I was raised in a conservative Southern Baptist household in Mississippi, and I figured out that stuff was bullshit after a few Sunday School sessions.
I figured out that church was bullshit at a young age too. I was raised in West Virginia in shitty schools. We were still victims, even though we had the luck of being born perceptive enough to limit our victimization. Imagine if all the wasted hours we spent in school and church, we were learning instead.
I had a science teacher in fifth grade who was a preacher as well. When we got to evolution all he had to say was “If we came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys, ever think about that?” He refused to teach the material. We skipped it.
Ugh, I had a biology teacher who was very similar. We briefly went through what the textbook had to say on evolution, then spent the next week or so watching stupid videos of this nutjob ranting about how current species with symbiotic relationships couldn’t have evolved separately or some drivel. Knowing what I know now about my rights as a student in a public school, I wish I could go back just for the opportunity to tell him I’d be doing my own independent study time in the library during his class periods while he was showing his blatantly illegal proselytizing propaganda.
It’s not just “no scruples”. Lots of people run these scams. Only a few of them succeed.
Easy to forget that Bush and Reagan also had these Faith Based Initiative and religious themed cabinet positions. And they were also primarily about funneling state money to religious demagogues. And then Clinton/Obama kept them around because they didn’t want to offend the religious extremists.
The large network of Crisis Intervention Centers that effectively exist to abuse young people with poor grades, substance abuse issues, and non-conforming gender/sexual preferences were all originally bankrolled by Reagan/Bush Era pilot programs and church kickbacks.
Also I remember Bush saying he talked to god and was chosen by god and blah blah blah
Only a matter of time until he declares himself Holy Roman Emperor. And silly me was under the impression, he’s trying to emulate an entirely different era of German history.
Leaning into grifting. Like always. He is just dipping into the Christian side of the grift.
A common theme of MAGA is inventing problems that they can solve.
The idea that Christianity in the US is under threat and needs additional protections, is some epic persecution complex.
Under threat? Because it’s declining in popularity? Sounds like the will of the people if you ask me.
That and the least amount of their privilege being questioned/ignored/dethroned is what they hate the very most.
They don’t WANT people to have a right to choose to ignore their little book club. They don’t believe in this country, which is secular. They want xtian Shariah law to be the law of the land, which violates the very principles of this country.
I had an old boss tell me that Christians are the most persecuted people on earth. They truly believe it and get off on it. All while existing in a country where you almost have to be Christian or at least Jewish to be elected to national office. It’s pure mass delusion propaganda.
A common theme of MAGA is inventing problems that they can solve
That they can pretend to solve.
when your only skills are being angry and stupid you have to get creative
Their skill is making other people angry, and that anger makes them stupid and easily manipulated.
All of this is spelled out in project 2025. If you want to know what’s coming next, just look at their website.
Just wait until they start banning porn. It’s already started in some states tbh.
Canada almost had the same thing happen, but thankfully Poilievre didn’t win PM, and even lost his seat too as a bonus.
Another conservative gave up their seat to prevent us being free of Poilievre.
He’s in an intra-party dust up with Doug Ford, brother of the infamous crack smoking Toronto Mayor.
So its possible we’ll get a porn ban if Poilievre comes out ahead. But we could alternatively get pole dancing as an elective and weed in the school cafeterias.
Yup. That’s the next step. Rip smut.
What’s the rationale behind this? Is it just pandering to religious freaks, or something else?
My guess is that it’s a step towards banning anything considered “sexual” or “deviant.” I.e., anything to do with LGBTQ people, sex ed, educating women about their bodies and rights, etc. Anything that the white patriarchy dislikes while also making it easier to subjugate the population through ignorance and propaganda.
Which leads to uninformed teenagers becoming pregnant, being forced to carry the child, and being stuck in poverty and ignorance for the rest of their lives as a result. This gives us uneducated workers and soldiers.
Every live baby is a potential dead soldier. And the more education is destroyed the more popular that path will be.
My guess is that it’s a step towards banning anything considered “sexual” or “deviant.”
Which is just a step toward banning anything that doesn’t “glorify our dear leader.”
Is it just pandering to religious freaks,
That and increasing their authorization grip on society.
well I am totally bored of the step brother genre.
If you’re bored of the same old, check out aliens, ware wolves, vampires and other species.
I’m replying twice to the same comment but it just jogged a memory of porn I used to have on DVD of a bunch of random shit and one of the scenes it was a woman and two guys but the guys were painted green and they had green pterodactyl heads and wings.
ware wolves
Like wolves selling knives door to door or more like a flea market run by wolves?
Underrated comment, lol
Get it, flea market? I crack myself up sometimes.
They literally can’t ban porn unless you turn off the whole internet.
That doesn’t mean they won’t try.
We are talking about a group of people that has banned PLANTS.
In my day we made do with porn we found in a box in the woods.
I’ve been warning people about the setup to martial law. That’s the final step of project 2025 that officially and completely destroys democracy. There will be no going back and no voting in the future. I keep being called an alarmist, but I was called an alarmist in late 2015 when he announced his run. It’s also perfectly spelled out and they’ve been doing every project 2025 has step by step.
I’m curious what will happen when they try to abolish the Federal Reserve.
well he does also want to become pope. maybe he wants to multi class but what we really wish is if he dual classed.
