Well, this was the last straw for my Texas cousin.

[tinrobot]

Life-long Republican, her family is military. She just messaged me to say that she was disgusted by today's events and just sent money to Biden and the Lincoln Project.

I guarantee you she's not the only one. He's jumping the shark.

[elleng]

1. GREAT to hear,

caused my first smile of the day.

[Tipperary]

2. I think that Bible stunt probably rubbed a lot of his (actual) Christian followers the wrong way.

They know he is not one of them.

[whopis01]

5. I worry about him gaining votes from the atheist community

The fact that he didn't burst into flames at this moment pretty much proves god doesn't exist.

[bdamomma]

7. he needs

to burn in hell. no shame

[whopis01]

8. I would settle for burning on Earth.

Honestly I would settle for just disappearing and never having to hear from him again.

[Dios Mio]

15. Yes

[calimary]

40. Welcome to DU, Dios Mio.

They'll have to excavate a whole new level of Hell for the donald. The seventh level isn't low enough.

[PatrickforO]

42. Yeah, he's been pretty bad. Worse, in fact, than most hoped he'd be.

Three and a half short years and this republic is nearly gone. What a putz.

[Dios Mio]

43. Thanks. Glad to be here.

[Karadeniz]

61. Hello and welcome!!!

[bdamomma]

17. Pure evil

he can take the rest of them too, McConnell, Miller, Barr, Mnuchin, all thugs.

[iluvtennis]

31. Exactly right, the anti Christ. nt

[Ford_Prefect]

14. Do you ever wonder what form of "pixie dust" he's shoved up his nose?

Where did he find the backbone required to leave the basement?

How else can he walk in sunlight and not turn to ashes?

[whopis01]

21. I try not to.

Some things were not meant for us to understand.

[lunatica]

59. Well he did send out the military, tear gas and horses

to drive, trample and push the protesters away so he could cross the street for a pitiful 2nd rate theater act that just turned out to be visually ridiculous.

[Ford_Prefect]

62. Apparently he also called in air cover for the move. 3 Army copters flew over to scare and disturb.

[renate]

16. LOL--that was really funny! Well said!

That was very welcome right now.

[BarbD]

20. Take it from this atheist,

He doesn't have a prayer in hell of getting my vote.

[whopis01]

22. LOL

I really didn't think he did - but couldn't resist the joke.

[kurtcagle]

66. Nor mine.

Most atheists are scientists of one stripe or another. Trump lost them pretty much out of the gate.

[alfredo]

32. All he needs is a flag to wrap around him.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

48. I Knew there would be mimes......

KY.........

[Texin]

53. You shouldn't worry about us. We reviled -- revile -- everything that he's doing.

I believe all people should be able to worship -- or not -- whatever they believe. All people. The fact he commandeered a church and pitched out the priest and a seminarian is, frankly, disgusting. He threw actual people of God out of the church he lorded around in and in front of like some tin pot tyrannical Central American jefe circa 1952. He's a fucking monster and one of the most identifiable symptoms of an actual antichrist is EVERYTHING this thing has done and is now doing. There have always been things like him: dictators who prance around in "religious" sack cloth and tyrannize their people. But by far, he is the most egregious I have actually seen with my own eyes. I've read about Hitler and Pol Pot and others, but I'm actually seeing with my very own eyes a vile monster that must be destroyed. He is not human. It is not human. It must be destroyed.

[lindysalsagal]

55. Yeah- but what does it say about Darwin????

Funniest. Post. Ever. Thank you!

[luvtheGWN]

25. It certainly rubbed the Anglican Bishop the wrong way.

She is FURIOUS! Of course, because she's a woman, he'll respond in his usual way. And that might just be the turning point.

Oops, sorry -- Episcopalian Bishop.

[AllaN01Bear]

37. as a fellow episcopailian that throughly discusted me to the core .

[wryter2000]

51. Also Episcopalian

More infuriated than I already was

[IllinoisBirdWatcher]

3. K & R

[Mme. Defarge]

4. Merci!

I needed that!

[gibraltar72]

6. I say again one at a time.

[MyOwnPeace]

9. "He's jumping the shark."

NOW would be a great time to see that shark jump up and make the world a better place!

[BlueMTexpat]

44. LOVE that image!

[Martin Eden]

10. The first 18,000 straws weren't enough

But the orange camel's back is finally broken.

[ffr]

58. 106,000 unnecessary deaths, 40+ million unemployed, no plan, just chaos and greed

Yeah, it was just that one last thing that finally moved a MAGAt to act. I want to live my live with such careless disregard

[Kitchari]

11. Thank you for this--

Very encouraging

[Cha]

12. I said it would "BACKFIRE".. Grateful it's

Happening!

TY for sharing, tinrobot

[Grammy23]

13. I'm pretty certain the real Christians know he is not really one of them.

And he never attends church for a regular service. Only funerals or memorials. So they will see through his little show with the Bible used as a prop. His calculated stunt may not go over like he thinks it will. Maybe the weak minded will love it but I suspect many will be insulted.

[BrightKnight]

41. Anyone that has actually read a Bible knows.

There are a lot of “Christians” that have not.

[Joinfortmill]

18. 👍

[Dios Mio]

19. For his followers: it's psychopath, not sycopath.

Nor is it cycle path.

[oswaldactedalone]

24. Welcome to your Texas cousin

[efhmc]

26. You do not need to be to specific (TX is a big place.) but can you tell me where your cousin is?

Approximately. Thanks.

[tinrobot]

27. Smaller conservative town.

Closest big city is Fort Worth.

[efhmc]

65. I was trying to see if he is in a smaller town like mine.

I see no changes here yet,

[ecstatic]

28. Some of them see the slippery slope

trump might be sending the military to kill black people and/or antifa today, but it'll be drumpers tomorrow. Some of them get that.

[Marcuse]

29. This is the president who delivered the rebuttal to the Sermon on the Mount.

[link:https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/trumps-politicization-of-the-national-prayer-breakfast-is-unholy-and-immoral/2020/02/06/529518e4-4931-11ea-bdbf-1dfb23249293_story.html|

At the 68th, and perhaps last, National Prayer Breakfast, the main remarks were made by the former president of the American Enterprise Institute (and Post columnist) Arthur C. Brooks, who spoke on the themes of his wonderful 2019 book “Love Your Enemies.” President Trump then prefaced his speech by saying: “Arthur, I don’t know if I agree with you. But I don’t know if Arthur’s going to like what I’m going to say.”


It was a strange moment in U.S. religious history. The command to love your enemies, of course, came from Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount. “Love your enemies, bless those that curse you, do good to them that hate you.” It might be expected for a president to express how difficult obeying such a mandate can be. Trump decided to dispute the command itself. And some in the crowd laughed.

[montana_hazeleyes]

30. Looks like he's holding it upside down. n/t

[iluvtennis]

34. I think so too. The page marler tassles are dangling from the bottom. I'm surprised the Bible

didn't burn his evil ass hand.

[montana_hazeleyes]

45. Or a bolt of lightning thrown down .

[iluvtennis]

33. trumpty dumpty has a tweet for eveything - his 2016 tweet regarding ted cruz carrying a bible.

Link to tweet

----
At least I can believe ted cruz is a Christian. trump is no Christian.

[Midnight Writer]

35. Sweet Jesus, Donald Trump is standing in front of a Church and waving a Bible around like a prop.

Giant smirk.

Fuck me.

Next he'll be "healing" these suckers.

[northoftheborder]

60. Holding up that Bible like a show and tell-----

That takes the cake. I can't even imagine what his thinking could have been to do that. "look how religious I am? Bible - see? It's mine?" The whole thing was totally ridiculous; bringing in the troops and tear gassing the protestors in order to stand in front of a church and hold up a Bible?
Un-be-lieve-able.



This is a picture of a Totally Fake person with the mind of a 4 year old.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

36. Wow quick turnaround.

[Hekate]

38. That is VERY cheering!

Thank you for sharing.

[herding cats]

46. I also had a family member make a first time donation to a Democrat, Biden.

It was only $5 but it's a huge step and a start.

This was also in Texas. It's a step in the right direction at least.

Like I said to them, it's better to have hope for a better tomorrow than to fear our today.

[Shiv]

47. heck yeah, thats great news (nt)

[augyboston]

49. It only took...

The worst viral outbreak since 1918, the worst economy since 1929 and the worst civil unrest since 1968!

It will never cease to amaze me that this country gives all the leeway in the world to these ultra conservatives who screw everything up whenever they hold the reigns of power!

[jaxexpat]

50. That shark hasn't seen peace in months.

What with all the trumpillion people clamoring to jump over him.

(tumpillion = a number overestimated to quantify and be greater than any other number, ever. As many people are saying.)

[magicarpet]

52. I thought that was a blue bolt of lightening coming down from the heavens,...

.... then realized it was only his (trDumpie made in China) necktie.

[Upthevibe]

54. tinrobot....

Thank you for this post. Whenever I hear these stories I feel a little better...

[LudwigPastorius]

56. The general sentiment is turning toward the removal of Trump.

(Here's just a sample of a couple of random sites this morning.)






...but, the question is, will the election date come too late if Trump deploys the military and declares martial law.

[mahina]

57. Disgust is the rational and appropriate and American values-based response. I'm encouraged!

Mahalo.

[Niagara]

63. This is great news.

It makes me hopeful that we will win this November.

[Initech]

64. I always love when people keep saying that they're waiting for the shoe to drop.

Trump has had an entire distribution warehouse full of shoes drop, and we've still got 5 months until the election. Abandon ship while you can!
