The day before his inauguration, President-elect Donald Trump will reportedly be attending an interfaith prayer service in Washington D.C. His wealthiest supporters can also attend — if they write or solicit a big enough check.
I guess at least the corruption is open now.
5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
Mathew 6:5-7, King James Version
Jesus is too woke for the average Christian these days
12 Then Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who were selling and buying in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves.
13 He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it a den of robbers.”
Just to be clear, he didn’t have the whip on him. He was so outraged that he left, braided his own whip, and came back like four hours later.
I like to imagine Christ sitting on a rock muttering to himself, “Doing that shit in The Lord’s house, I’m about to show you assholes the proper ending to a Monopoly™ Game, and that won’t even be invented for another 1900 years.”
Meanwhile the apostles are just watching in horror trying desperately to figure out what it was that finally pissed him off.
When asking yourself, “WWJD?” always remember that whipping people and flipping tables is on the menu.
Whipping grifters, FTFY
Fair 'nuff
Violent antifa, hippie! Probably paid crisis actor paid by (((globalists))).
How much for the brunch afterwards where you get to rip into a sub-minimum wage server at Olive Garden because you keep getting one breadstick more than the number of people at the table?
you keep getting one breadstick more than the number of people at the table?
Don’t get me started that barely enough for just me
I remember seeing people during the first Trump administration insisting that Trump was chosen by God.
This was in spite of him married three times, cheating on his pregnant wife with a porn star, bragging about grabbing women by the pussy, and generally putting money above anything else beside his ego. When called out on it, the response was merely “I don’t care.”
Truly a bastion of moral values!
It is explicitly a Christian teaching that all rulers are chosen by God, although not necessarily because they are good people who will do a good job which is what most of the people who said that about Trump were getting at.
“God has a plan!”
The plan: Turn on cruise control and fall asleep
They want the world to end because they think it’ll rapture them into heaven and they’ll be pampered for all eternity. They WANT bad leaders who will stir up the Israelites, etc.
They want a nuclear war. They think the Bible prophecizes it.
I don’t think that’s a generally true description. I’m sure there are some amount of people for whom that applies but I don’t think most people who classify themselves as Christians would agree with those statements.
Maybe not the Christers (Christmas and Easter church goers) but the weekly+ faithful do. It’s way more common than you’d think… unless you are one of them, and then it’s exactly as often as you’d think, and I was one of them. The number of them there multiple times a week who not only believe the end of days is a good thing but actively pray and donate and vote for it to come faster is significant.
You’d be surprised, especially in the US. Biden is an avid believer of that, for example.
Biden does not want a nuclear war. If he did, we would have had one, he’s had plenty of opportunity to start or allow one, and instead he has actively worked to avoid it. I also would contest the idea he wants to die to get to heaven earlier.
Come and worship! The god of money demands an offering!
Last time he tried to hide it. This time he is being completely open about the fact that he is for sale because he believes that he is untouchable.
Because he is. The GOP has all three branches of government, a good chunk of state legislatures and governors, and a media sphere that’s indifferent to actively complicit in helping to cosign whatever he does.
He tried to hide it last time?
yes. the onslaught is going to be far more intense this go around
That was sarcasm, he didn’t hide anything. He’s openly corrupt and no one with any power cares.
no for sure. i got that. but you still hit on a terrifying truth. he was trying to hide it before. there was at least some reason for him to act like he wasn’t who he is. this time there’s none of that
Hide what? he’s been an openly corrupt and fascist piece of shit since the 90s or maybe earlier.
exactly. that was him trying to act like he wasn’t the monumental piece of shit informed people know him to be. he’s going to be so much more intense this time
Private prison orgs are already making plans to construct concentration camps for anyone the orange diaper baby considers foreign. Literally becoming Hitler
Classic Air received a contract worth $880 million from 2017 to 2023 for charter flights. In fiscal year 2023, nearly 149,000 noncitizens were transported by charter flight, according to ICE.
Holy fucking shit, they’re making nearly $6000 per immigrant they shuttle around or deport. And the
concentration campsprisons will make even more. They just have to pay for bare minimum “food” and the labor cost of a few thousand people who couldn’t get hired as cops. Classic Air was paying for maintenance and fuel for a fleet of aircraft.I fucking give up folks.
He’s just doing a FDR*, Japanese internment and everything.
*obligatory reminder that every American president is bad to some degree.
Not state-owned tho! The free market would decide!
Waiting for Jesus to come in and start flipping tables
Jesus and Luigi would end up sharing a cell.
Jesus probably wouldn’t survive the arrest
Yeah, him being a PoC and all.
Not only a POC, but middle eastern. They’d claim he was a terrorist and shoot him the moment he started speaking.
So he’d be crucified… again?
Honestly, at this point if they’re still stupid enough to pay it, good luck to him. He’s shown time and time again who he is, so I have no sympathy for them.
They’re not stupid. They know exactly what they are paying for – power and influence. I’d love to get in the minds of people attending this event and see how many actually believe their religion.
Idiots.
Whenever you think he has finally hit moral rock bottom, he manages to go another mile deeper.
Let’s not pretend it’s Trump doing this. He’s a wet piece of clay to be molded by the owner class in whatever shape they desire. All he wants is to eat his burgers and fish sandwiches in luxury and stay out of a cell. That and revenge on his enemies. I would say he also wants to fuck but I really doubt his dick still works.
He hit that a long time ago.
Yet he dug deeper.
That tiny spot of light, waaaay up there? That’s yesterday’s rock bottom.
American fundamentalists: “OMG, he’s literally Jesus but better! 🥰”
Uh… people? At this point, I risk even the Devil itselt is sitting in bewilderment of the amount of lunacy this character is capable of.
Devil sheds a tear
“That’s my boy.”
Anyone wanna stand outside and take donations?
Hell yeah set up some tables and donate it all to the ACLU.
