152. White Horse Prophecy... Constitution "hanging by a thread"... which means these fundie Xian GrOPers,

Sun Dec 15, 2019, 02:09 AM

Dec 2019

or at least *some* of them, will never give a Mormon the satisfaction of fulfilling a "heretical prophecy" etc. GrOPer Baptists and Lutherans and Methodists etc will spurn Romney on removing Trump on *religious* grounds because of the person making the argument/said person's faith tradition's babblings.

Let's all wrap our minds around that for a minute... "This dude says he belongs to a religion which some people say advocates some BS nonsense and on those grounds we've totes got to keep this traitor criminal in a position of ridiculous power." WUT???

And yet it will happen. What a ridiculous timeline we are in...
