    I find the idea that Trump is Jesus' champion on earth to be very funny. I'm imagining Jesus up in the clouds nodding approvingly at every tweet, every rant at a rally, every sexual assault, every extramarital affair with a porn star.

    The priest in the church himself said that the protests were peaceful until Trump's goon squad arrived. The Bishop condemned the how the Police and Trump behaved. So portraying the protesters as the bad guys doesn't match with what the reality.

    Comical. In reality the conservative Christians in the US would have absolutely hated Jesus and his message if he were here now. Jesus the historical figure stood up for the poor and weak of society. He espoused a non material lifestyle and was against the greed of wealth. American conservatives absolutely hate that message and would have undoubtedly dismissed the historical Jesus as a socialist agitator.

    Paddy Power paid out on Hillary in 2016. The delusion is strong today, seems it took a day yesterday for the Trumpists to get over his very low energy performance at the RNC.

    Also, it's pretty a damming reflection that an incumbent is struggling to be a favourite with bookies. Meanwhile the actual polling hasn't shifted in any dramatic way. Believe it'll be tight and this is very much so one of the most important elections in US history. If he gets reelected, it'll be a disaster for them socially. If he doesn't, then it's a question of if they can recover from him.

    The clergy he gassed? Or do you mean the protesters the night before? He did it so he could get a photo op, he even managed to make a mess of that by holding the bible upside down, or maybe he did that on purpose.


  • Registered Users Posts: 25,604 ✭✭✭✭Timberrrrrrrr


    Eh, I called the tweet dumb, how the hell did you get to that "So...". Very Cathy Newman.



    I'd hardly be calling it dumb if I felt all he ever tweeted back then was fine.

    so people can change in a few years? So you will never mention Biden and segregation again seeing as he has obviously changed over the years?

    That reads like the blurb off any number of whacky conspiracy videos on YouTube. I'd bet that's where it came from.

    Anyway could you please list out the policies that Trump reversed that were removing God from society?

    Signed order's for free speech and religious liberty, rescinded Obama's plans for transgender bathrooms, allowed religious schools to participate in scholarship programs, conscience protections for health care entities and staff, creation international religious freedom fund, restrictions on fetal tissue for research, blocked funding to organisations promoting abortion, removed hidden abortion charges from Obamacare, order's to defend publicly displayed crosses, funding to religious sites attacked by vandals, removing requirements for faith based groups to accept same sex marriage, guidance for protected prayer in schools, statements gender identity is harmful to women sports, support for pro life bills, etc...

    Indeed
    Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed.
    For there will never cease to be poor in the land. Therefore I command you, ‘You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in your land.’
    Whoever oppresses a poor man insults his Maker, but he who is generous to the needy honors him.
    But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,
    And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. “Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied. “Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh.
    Whoever closes his ear to the cry of the poor will himself call out and not be answered.
    And Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “You lack one thing: go, sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”

    And many more just like that in the bible.

    Even as a lapsed athiest I can still say the bible is a fine book with many a good lesson.

    unfortnetly to many fookwits mis-interpret it as a greed is good and fook your neighbour (literally when it comes to donny and Jerry)

    Signed order's for free speech and religious liberty,

    You're obviously not aware but freedom of religion and free speech are protected in the US constitution. Trump may have signed "orders" but those were done for theatrics to appease religious fundamentalists.
    rescinded Obama's plans for transgender bathrooms,

    What exactly is religious about infringing on minorities? This one actually betrays why so called Christians love Trump - because he hates the same people they do. Anyway this week a Federal Appeal Court found that unconstitutional :pac:

    https://news.yahoo.com/court-rules-resoundingly-yes-transgender-203028721.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9zZWFyY2gueWFob28uY29tL3NlYXJjaD9mcj1tY2FmZWUmdHlwZT1FMjExVVM3MTRHOTEzMjkmcD10cnVtcCt0cmFuc2dlbmRlcitiYXRocm9vbXMmX2d1Y19jb25zZW50X3NraXA9MTU5ODcwNDQxNg&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAHH25DId2xN5s2_SUT0uF5EBSTWcsJ1BYNGlz7rXZhB7q2iM64SYxBceNd1XSv0KBzKKZpzpaneNC4FbjCnDMZbq_pkiYeSpJqCxgUFvGYKT6cQSXuqkhf4PYZNJxTfu2vyzHt5ebfjWn82l7H-oGzNkwprekEbJRilcn7OCEi6X

    allowed religious schools to participate in scholarship programs,

    Left out the crucial part there that these are PRIVATE religious schools. Public schools in the US are crying out for investment but you think redirecting taxpayers money to private schools is good simply because they teach religion? That's weird.
    conscience protections for health care entities and staff,

    A federal court overturned that rule because it went directly against what healthcare workers should do - care for patients. Bit of a theme here isn't there.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/06/upshot/trump-conscience-rule-overturned.html
    creation international religious freedom fund,

    This originated from the International religious Freedom Act of 1998 (a Bill Clinton administration law)
    restrictions on fetal tissue for research, blocked funding to organisations promoting abortion, removed hidden abortion charges from Obamacare,

    And this is bout pandering to the evangelical vote. They were all "my body my choice" over wearing masks but want to fully control women's bodies and reproductive rights. Hypocrites.
    order's to defend publicly displayed crosses,

    Freedom of religion is protected in the constitution.
    funding to religious sites attacked by vandals,

    Vandalism shouldn't happen but why is taxpayers money going to religious sites?
    removing requirements for faith based groups to accept same sex marriage,

    What the heck does that mean? Anyway it's also unconstitutional (again)

    https://edition.cnn.com/2020/06/15/politics/supreme-court-lgbtq-employment-case/index.html
    guidance for protected prayer in schools,

    Guidance....ooooooohhh scary
    statements gender identity is harmful to women sports,

    Yeah he lost that in court too. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2020/aug/18/us-judge-blocks-law-banning-trans-athletes-from-womens-sports
    support for pro life bills, etc...

    See above on pandering to religious fundamentalists.

    So basically a load of measures that are either unconstitutional or straight up illegal and others that dangerously blur the lines and separation of church and state to appease religious fundamentalists. I thought you would have had more to be honest.

    Measures are to overturn legislation that go against God's teaching. If more people read God's word there wouldn't be as many problems in society. What ever way you want to look at it, Trump as president has actively sought to restore America to it's Christian root's. When God is kicked out, then society falls apart.

    America was founded as a secular state... So while the founding fathers held religious beliefs, they were not supposed to define the country. This is why for example same sex marriage is constitutionally fine. Why are you trying to reinvent the founding?

    From reading that it looks like you're cool with Trump chancing his arm with unconstitutional and illegal measures simply because they align with your religious fundamentalist viewpoint. That's fair enough but deeply irrational and hypocritical.

    One world disorder would have us go back to 1950s Ireland if he had his way. I'd say he's an archbishop McQuaid fanboy.

    So... which book of the Bible is 2 Corinthians? It's the #IMPOTUS's favorite.

    What you're missing, is that with his lies and rejoice in death, it's the #IMPOTUS who is Satan incarnate, leading all of us to Armageddon. He's restoring the Temple in Jerusalem, has plague running through his country, famine (people in food lines), war (dispatching secret police to illegally detain and abuse protestors), and of course hundreds of thousands of excess deaths.

    And, extra credit, it's 29 August. Skynet becomes conscious today. It's JUDGEMENT DAY!

    As we get closer to the election, those working in the background will try everything to stop him getting re-elected. Crazy thing is, those trying to destroy the country think they can topple a democratically elected government through violence and destruction. Things are going to become very interesting in the next few months. But God is in control and Trump will get re-elected no matter what tricks they try between now and November 3rd.

    One of my greatest fears is what will happen when President Trump is re-elected. We saw some horrific riots in the days after his election in 2016. Things were so bad, even Barack Hussein Obama had to call on the rioters to stop. I pray to almighty God that people will peacefully accept the DEMOCRATIC decision this time and move on.

    If Trump loses will he accept the DEMOCRATIC decision? He has already claimed that the only way he can lose is if the election is rigged, paving the way for him to call for insurgency from armed militia types.

    What if he wins in November but loses in 2024? Hasn't he already claimed he should get another term?

    The biggest danger to democracy in the US is currently sitting in the oval office trying to Dismantle democracy.

    Just on the subject of Melania propagating the birther conspiracy, I believe it was Hillary Clinton who was responsible for this image circulating although I cannot say for sure

    Sure thing, the magic supernatural being living in the sky is in charge. That's the weird thing about religious fundamentalism, their god is supposed to be this omnipotent being, master and king of the entire universe but you're convinced he takes a personal interest in a transient political event in one corner of a small planet in the vastness of the universe. That's completely delusional.

    Any comment on Trump's "tricks" with the post office? Or are you and your god ok with him don't a bit of voter suppression??

    That Team Trump were not the only ones propagating the birther conspiracy.

    Of course he would. I'd be more worried about Joe...

    And? Don't believe anyone is okay with the fact she did that. Meanwhile Trump claimed to have definitive proof he wasn't American. You know Hillary isn't up for reelection? It's the guy who's destroyed the US position in international politics who has failed to achieve anything of note in 4 years beyond name calling on social media and dividing the nation.

    Don't worry , when the riot starts your dear leader will be cowering down in a bunker, hiding in the behind of a porn star or an illegally imported stripper.
