He's attacking the Speaker and Romney

[malaise]

people who use their religion to make wrong decisions and people who say they will pray for you.

He just said this at the National Prayer Breakfast. This fucker and his evangelical goons are so fucking sick that it's frightening.

[panader0]

1. The National Prayer Breakfast is now a campaign stop.

[malaise]

7. well if the SOU is just another campaign stop why not the prayer breakfast

(which I detest by the way).
Please note that wrong decision now means any decision that goes against the Con

[rickyhall]

41. Another Jesus Event to undermine the separation of church & state.

Remember Matthew 6:6, dammit...

[Bettie]

43. For this creature

EVERYTHING is a campaign stop.

He probably screams about them while he's taking a dump and makes some poor sucker cheer for him from the other side of the door.

[Ohiogal]

2. Every syllable that he vomits up

Makes me want to do the same. I can't think of a more loathsome, appalling, creature.

[dalton99a]

3. The wild beast is unleashed

and it is full of rabies

[Coventina]

4. Get your FUCKING CHURCH out of my government!!

(not directed at you, Malaise!)

[malaise]

10. +1,000

I hate the very idea of a prayer breakfast - they copied that shit where I am as well

[gopiscrap]

30. same here in Tacoma

and last year it became a real shit show because the asshat they invited was a homophobic piece of shit

[2naSalit]

21. K. &. R. !!!

[MontanaMama]

42. +1

No shit.

[cilla4progress]

5. Beyond frightening.

I think he will try to imprison them.

Remember, recently: March 2018 Xi made himself prez for life. Putin's entire govt quit so he can remain leader past 2024. These are the ones drumpf often cites as his role models
With his tweet after the acquittal yesterday about staying through 2028...
Is he joking?

[2naSalit]

22. He's NOT joking. He fucking intends to become king for life

and pass his spawn off as heirs to the throne.

[HipChick]

24. He'll have to run that by a higher up...

and I don't think God is sleeping..

[CaptYossarian]

35. Donald Trump Un?

He'll need a different haircut.

[MontanaMama]

44. Rick Wilson says exactly this.

He claims Jr. is next on the GOP list for a candidate in 2024.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

48. Oh dear god...😱🥶

[bdamomma]

6. what a suck up

he doesn't give a shit about religion.

all he preaches is hate and division.



old article here from 2016

https://www.deseret.com/2016/8/9/20593632/trump-is-conning-believers-about-his-faith-author-says

snip of article.

Q: Why do many conservative Christians support him? What do they see in him?

A: Donald Trump has tapped into the economic terror — and I do mean terror — that the bottom half of all Americans are living in and the fear the bottom 90 percent are living in. These people are looking for an explanation: Why am I working harder and making less?

Donald Trump, like all demagogues, provides an easy-to-understand rationale — it’s the Muslims, it’s “the other.” His answer is also more tax cuts for the rich — many of his proposals are heavily oriented to the rich. Our television media has created a culture in which we judge people on the presumed content of their wallets. But having money does not make us a better person. But we worship wealth. It is antithetical to Christianity, but it is becoming part of the dominant culture.

So people are not listening to what Donald Trump is actually proposing. Once again, just as Donald Trump has beguiled some pastors with flattery, he has deceived many of his supporters with a false message.

[Laelth]

15. Thanks for this reminder.

I fear that the analysis is terribly accurate.

-Laelth

[nature-lover]

26. He always plays the victim and has made them feel like victims too. They are in this together.

[patricia92243]

8. Romney said he would be attacked but did the right thing anyway.

[spanone]

9. He's loaded up on drugs....

[malaise]

12. Sure sounds that way

[spanone]

14. I've run out of adjectives/pronouns with this fucker....

[barbtries]

11. you're just now getting scared?

i've gone from dread to terror over the past 3 years.

[Roland99]

13. It's only going to get worse. The GOP is dead. It's now the TTP

[safeinOhio]

16. They should start every breakfast with

the Lords Prayer.....
"and forgive our trespasses as we forgive..."

[CaptYossarian]

37. The Senate forgave his trespasses. That's the problem.

[Texin]

39. "...[T]respasses" is too big a word for the shitgibbon to comprehend.

[dubyadiprecession]

17. But, but, but, he was acquitted...

Is Romney and Pelosi still renting space in his head?

[malaise]

18. IMPOTUS for life

and he knows it.

[gademocrat7]

19. A very disturbing disgusting spew of hate.

[kentuck]

20. So Christian-like.

Not.

[2naSalit]

23. Glad I missed that!

Dodged a psychological bullet there!

[Vogon_Glory]

25. I believe that someday, thoughtful Evangelicals will regret

their political alliance with Donald Trump, but the people who dined with Donnie this morning lacked the decency or the humility to see how their actions looked to the rest of us.

If they had those qualities, they’d not only Don sack-cloth and ashes, but beg for forgiveness.

[CrispyQ]

27. Back when Jack Cafferty still had his two minute segments on Blitzer's show,

he did a piece on the dominionists and he was clearly scared of what he was reporting. He ended with something along the lines of "These people should be investigated." But of course CNN never did.

Chris Hedges book, "American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America" was some scary fucking reading.

[malaise]

29. I also remember some programs on The Family

All of them were ReTHUGs

[mjvpi]

46. The whole prayer breakfast is an invention of "the Family"

Scary stuff when you think God and it comes out Trump.

[cwydro]

28. There are no constraints on him now, and he knows it.

He is a despot. A petty tyrant with a lot of power.

It’s truly frightening.

[wnylib]

47. We the people are the constraints, in the polls

and, if necessary due to election intervention, then in the streets.

[hangaleft]

54. Unfortunately, People Won't Take to the Streets

As long as they have their 65” flat screen TVs, late model cars and high balance 401(k)s.

[wnylib]

55. Then what do you suggest?

[Baked Potato]

31. Rich, crazy people are dangerous.

They are creating a dream world to exist inside.

[hatrack]

32. Ever wonder why the Founders explicitly separated church and state? Heard of the 30 Years' War?

The 30 Year's War was the biggest demographic catastrophe in Europe between the Black Death in 1347 and World War I.

Historians and demographers estimate that about 20% of the population of Germany died, and death rates reached 50% in a "corridor" reaching from Pomerania in the northeast to the Black Forest in the southwest. Approximately 50% of the adult male German population died. In total eight million people died - of starvation, disease and wholesale slaughter by roving armies, both national and mercenary- in Germany, Bohemia, Italy and the Netherlands. After the butchery and flames died down, disease (plague and typhus) was next. Witch-hunting peaked about 15 years from the start of the war, as those who remained looked for someone to blame - and not surprisingly came up with the wrong answers.

Why was the death toll so high? Because this was an explicitly religious conflict, largely between the Catholic Holy Roman Emperor and the Protestant states of the north. And after all, if God is on your side, what does that say about the other side? So have at them - they're damned anyway. Kill the men, rape the women, slaughter the cattle, steal the wine, take whatever you want and then move on - easy enough in a land awash in roving armies of mercenaries hardly distinguishable from gangs.

The conflict was closer in time to Jefferson, Washington et. al. than the Civil War is to us today, and they were well aware of European history. They knew what cross-pollinating religion with political power could do, and sought to draw hard, bright lines between the two realms. Which, when you get right down to it, is why my stomach rolls over every time the "National Prayer Breakfast" rolls around, or political hacks call for prayer in schools, or "In God We Trust" on public buildings, or vaccination exemptions or any of myriad variations of this kind of horseshit.

There's a reason we separate church and state in America - a damned good reason.

[2naSalit]

38. Never wonder about it but I do agree with your post!

[DBoon]

52. this deserves its own OP

[wnylib]

53. Not necessary to go back to the 30 Years' War

to explain our founders' decision to separate church and state.

At the time the US was established CT law still made Puritan Congregationalism the state church and required ALL residents to pay for its support, regardless of their own religion. In colonial MA, it was illegal for anyone other than Puritan Congregationalists to enter the colony. Punishment included fines and deportation, imprisonment, and for repeat offenders, branding and removal of body parts and/or execution by hanging (used mostly for Quakers).

Our founders and their immediate ancestors saw and lived the dangers of state religion. Since the time of Henry VIII (1500's) there were alternating religions on the throne and executions and imprisonment for the religion out of power, until the rule of William and Mary in the 1700's. Even then, there was a stste religion (and still is) that favored its members.

Our founders wanted to avoid all that needless fighting and suppression of civil rights.

[smirkymonkey]

33. Arghhhhhhh!

I hate him so much! I hate all of these traitors and fake hypocritical christians. They are disgraceful!

[Bluepinky]

34. Just watched on you tube. This is scary shit.

He’s planning revenge on those who impeached him “for nothing”. He’s already attacking sanctuary cities and blue states, can’t wait to see what he’s planning next.

[CaptYossarian]

40. Will he go full al Quida on these cities?

He's already putting sanctions on CA because of their auto emissions stance.

How in the hell did he interpret that Oath of Office? Was it the "people are saying" voices in his head that took over?

He really is a waste of a sperm and an egg.

[kimbutgar]

36. MF45 projecting on himself with that comment

And I bet some I at the breakfast had a sick feeling in their stomachs with the hypocrisy.

[duforsure]

45. He's mad ...

Because Mitt put God before him.

[Still In Wisconsin]

51. You know what, I'll bet that's exactly it.

Trump is the least godly person I can think of. He probably is mad that someone put God ahead of him.

[IronLionZion]

49. Douchebag is the most sinful POS

and is highlighting the hypocrisy of the evangelical goons since Romney and Pelosi may actually have faith based values while the evangelicals are full of shit

[Still In Wisconsin]

50. How lame do you have to be to launch into a political attack at the national prayer breakfast?

Never mind I'm sorry I asked. Forgot who I was talking about...

[Skittles]

56. how lame do people have to be to be with him and act like it is normal?

unbelievable cowards

[Still In Wisconsin]

57. They are the "good Germans."

Like those that went along with Hitler in the 1930s these people may or may not know that what Trump says and does is despicable, but they go along because they don't want to make waves among their perceived peers, and because they fear retribution.

It happened then, and it's happening now.

[Skittles]

58. I absolutely agree

does anyone deny that Trump would have his critics locked up, tortured, MURDERED if he could???
