[riversedge]

Trump is such a crude man!




Donald Trump:
“I’m a Sunday church person.”

“When we go in church and I drink my little wine....and have my little cracker, I guess that’s a form of asking for forgiveness.”

1. The web link is wrong.

Write it out as twitter.com

[niyad]

2. Apart from the fact that he is NOT "a sunday church person", I thought

TRAITOR** never drank alcohol?

[OAITW r.2.0]

6. I think he's a closet drinker and his late-night rants are the product of drinking a little too much wine on a nightly

basis. No one could stop him from posting his drunken thoughts.

[jmowreader]

43. If he isn't a drinker, he's into some other kind of psychoactive substance

Trump is less functional than Ozzy Osbourne, who did so many drugs I'm a bit shocked there isn't a cannabis strain named after him.

[NanaCat]

56. Depends on the church

Some of the Protestant sects use grape juice for their communion, not actual wine.

Really.

Even if they serve wine, most believers don't consider communion wine 'intoxicating wine' because the clergy has chanted some kind of incantation that 'changes' it. So they can drink away. It's not like it's all that much in quantity, anyway.

Also: his church attendance is immaterial, because it says absolutely nothing about anyone's morals (or lack thereof) or the sincerity (or lack thereof) of anyone's beliefs, just like it says nothing about the tens of millions of Christians who rarely or never attend services themselves. If being in a pew on the regular mattered, then what does it say that the serial killer BTK attended services often enough to be president of his church council?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

58. traitortrump said wine, not grape juice.

[Diamond_Dog]

3. "I'm a Sunday church person."

How did he not get struck by lightning telling this ridiculous lie?

[RussBLib]

5. Simple

...cause there ain't no god to strike him down. And he knows that too.

https://russblib.blogspot.com/

[keithbvadu2]

4. His pastor can vouch for his attendance.

Still waiting.

[CincyDem]

28. Ronnie Jackson got ordained. Damn, he's so multi talented. n/t

[Cha]

53. Exactly.

[ChoppinBroccoli]

7. For Anyone Who Actually Believes He's A "Man Of Faith"..........

............offer them this challenge: find a picture of Trump attending a church service that's NOT a wedding or a funeral. Or a campaign event.

[RainCaster]

9. Forget all those

He won't go in a church unless it's a photo op. No different to him than anything else.

[magicarpet]

32. trDUMP attending church,...

.... does this count ? g-odd picked him to be The Chosen One at a photo op. Up

?si=o_zhnjcghCjmF5PK

[ChoppinBroccoli]

44. I Normally Add The Caveat..........

...........and actually going INSIDE the church. Not standing outside it glowering while holding a Bible upside down.

[greatauntoftriplets]

8. If he's a "Sunday church person"....

where are the photo ops of him standing outside with his minister? We all know that he can t resist mugging for te camera.

Then there are all the photos of him on the the golf course. They start early in the day down there because of the heat, sun, and humidity.

Little cracker? Does anyone call it that?

Such a transparent lie.

[Drum]

21. Do all (or very many) faiths celebrate services with a host?

[greatauntoftriplets]

23. I think that most Protestants do..

He claims to be Presbyterian.

[unblock]

10. Sounds like a 6-year old after his very first sunday church service.

Should we explain the communion thing to Donnie?
No, it'll just confuse him. Just say it's a cracker of forgiveness and a sip of wine.

[arthritisR_US]

45. Oh you mean it's not "his" cracker or wine ?

[unblock]

48. Haha! Oh, and "forgiveness" is a big word. He probably thinks it means anything that's for givin' to him!

[arthritisR_US]

50. You nailed it mate!

[NBachers]

11. "Little Cracker??" I had my First Communion at six years old, and I knew more then than he knows now. Little Cracker

He just keeps pulling this shit out of his ass

[marble falls]

12. TFG is confused. He is the little cracker.

[magicarpet]

33. Fascist White Supremacist Cracker,...

... with a little dick.

[marble falls]

38. ... shaped like a mushroom.

[magicarpet]

40. Well ya,.. I forgot that important attribute.

[marble falls]

41. It's easy with a deviant like Mango Jebus, you can make shit up and find out it was true!

[stopdiggin]

13. the sincerity is just crackling in the air - - - - - -(nt)-

[arthritisR_US]

46. lol....brilliant!

[Mr.Bill]

14. Forgiveness is dispensed

in the confessional, not by receiving communion

[PatSeg]

35. Yeah, I thought that was an odd thing to say,

but then again, it was Donald Trump and he has no idea what communion is about. If he was going to fake being religious to please the base, at least you'd think he would have tried to learn a few things before opening his mouth.

That whole fiasco about his favorite bible verse is another example. How hard would it have been to memorize ONE short verse?

Maybe that is why he made that awkward comment about "2 Corinthians" to Liberty University students in 2016. In 2015 he had answered Mark Halpern and John Heilemann's questions about favorite bible verses, “I wouldn’t want to get into it. Because to me, that’s very personal. The Bible means a lot to me, but I don’t want to get into specifics.” Everyone knew he was lying. He is such a terrible liar.

[ribrepin]

57. Correct

[Mossfern]

15. I'm Jewish

and I know a bunch more that that.
It's almost like he's mocking the ritual.
To which Church does he belong?

[PatSeg]

30. I really think he doesn't know anything

about religion or church. He talks like he's an alien who is unfamiliar with Earth customs, but has picked up a few things watching TV.

Nothing about Donald Trump is normal.

[OAITW r.2.0]

52. Never cared to know....his entire life has been a-religious.

But now that this election means his ass is on the line, he sure is getting religion now. He's selling Bibles to prove it!

[PatSeg]

60. Yes, he only starts to care

if it will benefit him in some way. Now he's acting out of desperation and is scrambling to look religious. The effect is very clownish and pathetic. I can't believe anyone is actually buying his crap.

[magicarpet]

34. The Holy Church of Satan's Delight.

[arthritisR_US]

47. I believe it's the church of dtrumph

[3Hotdogs]

17. Well, he's a better man than I am.

I don't do none'a that wine, cracker an ---- wait a minute. Do they give out the wine for free?

[niyad]

54. Yes, but it is not the good stuff.

[3Hotdogs]

59. That's ok. If it's better than my Gutter Buddy red (red is better than their white).

I'm in.

G.B. is alls I can afford at the end of the month.

[niyad]

61. Our King Sooper's carries Bay Bridge, often on sale for 3.50/bottle.

sort of drinkable. .well, the peach is, as long as it is chilled.

I thank you for introducing me to the Buddy Boy Winery in Duncannon, PA. Their website is delightful!

[BlueKota]

18. Okay so he is calling

what people of actual faith call the "body of Christ," a little cracker? 😳

[keep_left]

19. "Little wine, little cracker"...Transubstantiation? What's that?!

Apparently it's too big a word (and concept) for Trump.

What's most ironic is that the radtrad Catholic media (EWTN, Relevant Radio, etc.) is absolutely obsessed with enforcing orthodoxy when it comes to their own followers. They drone on endlessly, day after life-sucking day about "the Real Presence", "Body, Blood, and Divinity", nearly every waking moment. Yet I don't recall EWTN's Raymond Arroyo chastising Trump for his seeming blasphemy of the Eucharist (and Arroyo did in fact interview Trump on the execrable World Over show).

[Sky Jewels]

25. Catholicism has so many creepy death cult vibes.

I find all religion to be creepy, but the RCC really doubles down on the bloody corporal suffering shit.

[keep_left]

37. Well, you'll really be creeped out if you watch or listen...

...to radtrad media, especially "traddier than thou" types like EWTN or (Ir)-Relevant Radio.

In the '90s, the late Mother Angelica (EWTN) blew a gasket over a female actor portraying Christ in a Passion play; in response, and nearly overnight, she changed her convent's mode of dress back to an ultra-trad nun's habit not seen since the 1940s. Mother Angelica also carried on a feud with Cardinal Mahony over an angels-on-the-head-of-a-pin theological dispute regarding one of Mahony's written documents that was completely imagined on her part; she failed to actually read the document fully, and then when confronted with proof, she said "I don't do footnotes". Mother Angelica was censured and almost lost her network over that. (You could certainly say that she greatly overestimated her position in the chain of command).

Radtrad Catholic media is really a trip; they pound away at doctrine hour after hour, day after day. Everyone must parrot the exact same line with zero deviation, and they are obsessed about anyone, anywhere that might be the least bit "heterodox". The unintentional effect is that they have driven many away from the Church.

[Sky Jewels]

39. Yikes.

Extremists are terrifying.

[Ursus Rex]

64. She really WAS a piece of .. work.

I recall watching some of her show with friends' DEVOUT Catholic moms and grandmothers (never the dads, for some reason*), and I was always surprised to hear how she sounded like a typical scold - meanness, condescension, perpetual frown, and all. I'll def have to look up the story behind the habit.

*some of the boys my age and younger loved to watch the cute teen recite the Rosary with Clair de Lune playing in the background, so my memories of that show are really bizarre. I was raised a Methodist, fwiw

[keep_left]

65. I think the story behind the ultra-trad habit is on YouTube.

Mother Angelica went on her dumb show after hearing about the Passion play (which was at World Youth Day in '93, I think). As would be expected out of the perpetual scold, she went on and on, "I hate you, liberal Church", etc. She should have been bounced from her network right then and there, as she never even bothered to go up the chain of command...always on the attack, hotheaded as hell, damn the consequences. Ultimately, she did lose the network and was forced to turn it over to a lay board at the last minute. It was taken over by Catholic neocons (and more recently, radtrads) who have destroyed what little of it was even worth saving.

[applegrove]

20. He says "Cocktails! Hors d'oevres! How nice"

Actually an old boyfriend of my sisters said that back in the 1980s. He was being sarcastic.

[muriel_volestrangler]

22. Does "tweet.com" work for anyone?

The link works if I replace it with the normal "twitter.com" .

[Sky Jewels]

24. Is he pretending to be Catholic or

is he too stupid to realize that Protestants don’t do the Jesus-meat cracker thing? I’m an atheist who never had to go to church (thanks Mom and Dad!!!) and I know the basic differences among most of the major Christian sects.

[unc70]

31. Most Protestant sects have communion

They differ in whether they believe in transubstantiation. Many see it as symbolic.

[Sky Jewels]

36. Okay, thanks.

I guess I don’t know as much as I thought.

[Traildogbob]

26. Trump Christian's

Do not get wine to drink at church. They are served Jim Jones brew kool aid. And the crackers are in honor of white folk.

[spanone]

27. He's a lying piece of shite.

[Blue Owl]

29. I heard Captain Pantload sits in his own pew

[newdayneeded]

42. Trump just oozes religion

[arthritisR_US]

49. As an agnostic, I would agree

[niyad]

55. Well, he certainly oozes SOMETHING!!!

[Rhiannon12866]

51. When did he attend Confirmation Classes??

[jcgoldie]

62. has his little cracker...

Why's he gotta bring Lindsey Graham into this?

[VGNonly]

63. He's still waiting

for the "second coming".
