Y'know, for a party that tries to pass themselves off as "Christian", they sure don't think much of The Ten Commandments.

I like to think humans have at least a baseline of self-awareness. Then I see things like this. Seriously, no one objected? No one, at that whole event, saw that and went, "Yeah, uh, no."

H . . . . . . how?

Airs every Passover for cripes sake. I have a personal drinking game about it and everything.

How on earth do they not see it?!

Who wheeled that atrocity in and went, "Oh yeah, this is a great idea."

It's one of those instances where it's so stupid and lacks so much self-awareness, you can feel your brain actually crack if you spend more than five seconds trying to fathom it.

in "Exile" in Mar a Largo?

Blarghhhh.
Looks stupid! 😂

Honestly I hate these people. I suppose I shouldn't.
Sigh. But I spend much of my time in better ways than
hating them.

It completes the outfit.

I can hardly wait for the cartoon of a golden calf with his head on it. You just know that someone will do it.

I have to think they are making fun of trump and his followers...Does anyone really think trump would be happy with that image of him, looking like a surfer? The big head, the star on his left hand...This is as ridiculous as it gets, and I feel trump will not like it. It is the image of a beach bum, a big headed beach bum.

and they won't dare to say it out loud. It's another "breathtaking, mind-breaking fear" moment for sane people. Like when you realize you're diving too deep and you may not make it to the surface before you MUST inhale.

....and throw the Tablets of the Ten Commandments at them, too?

These people call themselves Christians, too. Unbelievable.
