The Church of the MAGA: "To say 'NO' to Trump would be to say no to God" Ignoramuses



They have literally replaced God.
The MAGA Church.

Since conservative (and anti-LGBTQ) evangelicals have decided to embrace Donald Trump as their "Lord and Savior," what could be a better way of showcasing their "new direction" other than this video by the Lincoln Project.

The video is brutal in how it highlights the schism conservative evangelicals have created in the American body of faith with their power-hungry support of Trump; a schism that the LGBTQ community would be clueless to not draw attention to and help along its way

This takedown is brutal, which means the religious right will ignore it of course as they cannot see past their hypocritical nasty noses.
If there is a judgement day these fuckers are in for a YUUUGGGGEEEE surprise..

Trump be like come to me my precious...

Terry Jones dead: Monty Python legend dies aged 77

Source: Evening Standard

Monty Python star Terry Jones has died at the age of 77, his agent has said.

The actor passed away on 21 January with his wife Anna by his side, his family confirmed.

In 2016, Jones' representatives announced he was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia leaving him unable to give interviews as the disorder began to affect his ability to communicate.

Jones was also a prolific children’s author and well-respected medieval historian and in 2016 was awarded a Lifetime Achievement award from BAFTA Cymru for his outstanding contribution to TV and film.

Republican Playbook of Corrupt Mendacity. Rinse and Repeat for Every Occasion.


Graphic mine

They are so very disappointingly predictable.

We will not go quietly into that good night...



We will NOT go gentle into those bastard nights of chicanery in the senate.
We will rage, rage against the dying of democracy.
(Apologies to Dylan Thomas)

These fuckers have gone too far, even for them. It is blatant corruption of the process. Why? Because Trump is the guy? Trump? Really? They are putting all their eggs in basket case Trump? That takes a particular kind of special…

Time to break more than a few eggs and put an end to this travesty of justice and their literal refusal to uphold the rule law. If the law makers will not uphold the rule of law in a nation of laws shit needs to change really quickly otherwise the foundational premise of the states will flounder.

November 2020 outcome needs to be twofold to be completely glorious...


We need all three branches please to undo the horrors of this Presidency. And these enablers all need to punished... handcuffs, jail, trial and hard time for everyone of those fuckers who have wilfully obstructed duly elected representatives from doing their sworn duty. For a generation they must not be allowed to forget that you try and fuck with the democracy of the Unites States that the majority will stop you... and punish you hard for the audacity to think your guy was the guy to fuck it up for the majority, while you profit from the grift.

Lies rot the soul. It is inevitable.

They may think that there are no personal consequences to the massive fuck off lies they tell every single day… BUT they are wrong. They become distorted in their thinking, irrational in their actions because lies beget lies and that infects every part of who you are…



Of course, they think that the lies they tell are just dandy because power and privilege tell them that the con has been ever thus, however…



Their lying rotten ethic and morality free existences permeate every part of society and are a real and present danger to our democracies.

They think it is all good because right now they are not coming after them...idiots

Is it that they are shallow thinkers who are unable to learn the lessons from history?
Is it that they think they are something special that would be immune to the worst excesses of how bad things could get if trump and his enablers get their way?
Is it that their hatred runs so deep that they don’t care about their loss of freedoms as long as the ‘other’ gets it worse?

What they don't get is:

‘’You can't live in a constitutional republic if you allow the government to act like a police state.You can't claim to value freedom if you allow the government to operate like a dictatorship.You can't expect to have your rights respected if you allow the government to treat whomever it pleases with disrespect and a utter disregard for the rule of law.” John W. Whitehead

They will only realise how utterly wrong they have been, when they come knock knock knocking on their doors… and by then it will be far too late to anything about it. With Russian interference a continuous threat to the constitution and the republicans selling their souls for 30 pieces of silver eroding the very basis of the formation of America those that support them would do well to remember that:

''From the Soviet gulag to the Nazi concentration camps and the killing fields of Cambodia, history teaches that granting the state legal authority to kill innocent individuals has dreadful consequences.'' Pete du Pont

We all know where explicit permission to ignore the rule of law can lead. So for trumpers, it may not be today, or tomorrow, but at some point they will also turn on them, if these stealers of democracy are allowed to continue to follow their destructive path.

I have just watched the news on Virginia gun march and...

...I am so thankful that I live in a place where if that many heavily armed, camouflage wearing white men rocked up in one place, they would be considered a terroristic threat, kettled and arrested as they would almost definitely be carrying the gun in a way that would be in breach of their gun licence. Police would be identifying the people involved and following up to see if they were a threat to the wider community, and it is very likely they would referred to the Prevent programme, at a minimum, which works with radicalised individuals to stop them going to the point of no return in whatever their extremist agenda is.

The only purpose I can see from the whole debacle today is a wish to intimidate anyone who is not exactly like them, I mean you can protest what you fear is an erosion of your rights, without carrying an AK 47 to do it. Seems to me they like to say guns do not kill people, well at a glance millions of people buying and carrying weapons of human destruction without proper regulation very definitely kills people. But hey I am a Brit, we might have a problem with knife crime, but death by guns last year... 155. The USA... 40175. Of course the USA has a bigger population, but per 100,000 you guys sit at 12.21 and Britain sits at 0.23, with a homicide rate of 4.46 and 0.06 respectively. Looking at the 'march' today, those statistics make sense...

I have a dream...



A man of greatness who challenged everyone to be their best self's, to value everyone, to be better.
A wanker of democracy stealing madness who wishes to change the fundamental characteristics of what America was founded on and is... and not in a good way.

I suppose it is like comparing an apple and a swastika!

On this MLK day, it is time for these awful horrid in the moment haters to be reminded, that as MLK said...

''No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream''.

If it looks like an elephant it trumps for the distortion of democracy. Heh.

Trumps : to trumpet an idea, or to fart loudly - under the circumstances either will do. Farting all over democracy..
