ummmmm, wait what?
I know, right? Does that even make sense?
Of course it doesn’t make sense. It’s Donald Ignoramus Trump!
Of course it makes sense to Donald Ignoramus Trump!
^There. FIFY, PhillyGal.
Do you think he meant establishment not abolition?
I mean, the sentence kind of works either way. Currently, some people who may claim to be people of faith are working hard to destroy civil rights, but historically, the civil rights movement was full of people of faith as well. And, in total fairness, some religious communities are still working hard to try to slow Donald Trump’s destruction. I know that Jewish Family Services near me has a refugee resettlement program, and my mother’s church is heavily involved in social justice issues and marches regularly.
I wish they’d just say what they mean: Evangelical Christians. That’s who they’re talking about. They’re not talking about my mom’s tiny hippy church with the lesbian minister or the people at my local mosque.
You’re absolutely right about that.
He meant abolition of slavery but thank goodness for unconscious truth-telling
Riiight? Also, he looks like a snapping turtle in that picture. Wait. That’s what he is.
Sounds like a KKK dog whistle, looks like an illigitate President
There is no doubt in my mind that he has a significant reading disability.
Well, he’s not exactly wrong.
IKR? The religious right IS destroying civil rights. I’m just shocked he told a truth.
Yea, he accidentally spoke the truth.
IDK, his speechwriter Steven Nazi Miller hates civil rights. He may actually be pleased by the religious right’s attacks on civil liberties.
Haha..my first thought as well
He almost spoke the truth…accidentally.
It’s the so-called evangelical Christian right that’s destroying civil rights, not people of faith. There’s a huge difference there.
THIS. bigotry in the name of THE LORD is nothing new.
today it’s “don’t wanna serve LGBTQ” because of my “sincerely held religious beliefs”.
in yesteryear it was “don’t wanna serve brown-skinned people” for the same reason.
That was exactly my thought.
I wonder if they even noticed; or just erupted in cheers — because they did notice.
that this malignant pig is so revered and welcomed by these ohso godly people is both hilarious and sickening..
Can hardly wait until he’s what I can’t print here because of CB guidelines.🍔🍨⚰️💃🏻
OMG that progression of emojis is the best thing I’ve seen all morning!! It reminds me of Cher in Moonstruck—“One day you’ll die and I’ll come to your funeral in a red dress.”
Lol! Best use of emojis EVAH!
LMAO brilliant, Jerusha.
Sadly, Amy Klobuchar actually is a bad boss. I wish this were a case of sexism, but it isn’t (or at least that’s not the root cause). Because of the work environment, she has the highest turnover in capitol hill and a difficult time recruiting new staffers (this was discussed during my time on the hill years ago).
You know who IS a really bad boss?
Donald Trump
The specifics make me uneasy. Ccing people not related to an issue to increase the public humiliation….I used to have a boss who would do that same sort of stuff. She got some things done. Other things, important things, were done poorly because she would not consider other opinions. I would not vote for someone like that to be president while I had any more viable option.
Oh no! A woman boss with exacting standards. Amy Klobuchar must be terrible! These attempts to smear someone honestly push me in their direction; in this case it makes me think: “Why are they scared of her? I may vote for her.”
Agreed. Sounds like someone is maybe intimidated by Amy, and needs to make her look bad. No real specifics given, which is suspicious.
So how many Russians were at the National Prayer Breakfast this year? I’m sure everyone there missed praying with the the spy Maria Buttina this year–she went last year and brought several Russian lobbyists with her. So devout!
Omg. President s should be able to pass a basic civics/history test before being sworn in
And who in the entire world believes this sleazy man has any inner life at all, let alone a deeply spiritual one? It’s agony to hear the lying schmuck ramble on like this.
But yeah, he’s accidentally right about that middle bit, innee? Tee hee….. ‘out of the mouths of infants’, fer sure .
He’s just beyOND.
Ahhh man. I REALLY like Kris’ home. REALLY like it. I’d ditch the white carpets and white furniture… and honestly that’s about all I’d change. DAMNIT.
me too. i was surprised. that dinning room area is sooo cute. it has a bit of wabi sabi vibe and all that. the fireplace is a bit tacky but hei…
The Koven uses pianos as decoration? That is gross.
Yeah, notice how it is not situated at all for someone to sit down & play. I didn’t even see a bench.
Totally off-topic, but Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is one gorgeous woman! Smart, beautiful, confident and feisty – she has it all.
Please don’t lump all people of faith in with the lunatic evangelical fringe. Just because I have some faith does not make me a racist, bigot Trump supporter. I support LGBT and abortion so please quit saying we are all the same.
Jan – I think it was the extreme right Christians and Evangelicals (truly scary folks in my experience) that were being referenced. I’m with you. I am a believer in God and spiritual. I’m also a loud and proud Democrat. The Republicans, who throw God’s name out there constantly, have a platform that is pretty immoral.
Freudian slip number 346.
Only the best words. Everyone says so. I know more than the generals.
Signed,
Anomymous aka Individual-1 aka Fat Nixon aka Russian Agent aka Emperor Zero aka Genghis Con aka Bentweeto Mussolini.
I would say Freudian slip, but he doesn’t know this so nope, used the wrong word in bigy way, smh
Lyndon Johnson if he were alive today would probably want to smack a Trump.
I don’t think we are having some kind of renaissance of scams and scammers. Doesn’t anyone remember the guy at the Washington Post who there was a movie about — Shattered Glass? the guy at the NY Times who made up sources? the woman reporter for the Washington Post who made up sources and facts for articles? the guy who wrote for the New Yorker? the author of that book that Oprah picked for her book club who made up a memoir?? This stuff has been happening for a long time.
Also, could be that the *resident’s speechwriter is as dumb as he is. I’m thinking there must be some confusion about abolition/abolish and thinking civil rights means racism. Probably in their worldview it does.
is this working?
WHOA DID YOU GUYS SEE THE JEFF BEZOS ARTICLE?!?!
He just published the threats National Enquirier/AMI sent him with straight up blackmail!
I am sure it will be posted here tomorrow morning! What a timeline we are in huh? Holy moly.
‘People of Faith”
What’s with the soft language? They’re God botherers.
