If Trump asked the Family Research Council to bathe in cow dung, there would be a stampede to be the first one in the pool.
Jerry Falwell Jr. was on NPR this morning with Steve Inskeep and he is behind Trump and claims that evangelical rank & file has been behind him long before any leaders were. (Jr. is not a minister like his father, but has taken over the reigns of Liberty U - so I think he would naturally be very aligned with a grifter like Trump).
Falwell Jr. may not be a minister - like his father - but he is a pickpocket - like his father.
We had really good candidates and this was our chance to really turn back the tide on what’s been happening in the last eight years. …
WTF?!?!? What exactly has been happening in the last eight years?? Here’s a 22-year-old kid fighting back tears over what’s been happening since he was what, 14?
God almighty, these people are nuts!
rep foxx said it’s about our principles and philosophy yep a philosophy and principles of hatred, intolerance and bigotry…she forgot greed and power for the sake of the greed and power of them and their benefactors
like father like son…grifters gotta grift
The Religious Right and most conservatives bray all the time about original intent and faithfulness to the Constitution. Unfortunately, their faithfulness is ONLY to that part of the 1st amendment that they claim allows them to make all the bigoted remarks they want while imposing their religious beliefs on non-believers via the laws of the land AND to their “understanding” of the 2nd amendment which they interpret to mean that 'the people" are, by definition a “well regulated militia” and should be able to drive around in loaded tanks open carrying automatic armament and concealing however many other “arms” they wish to.
Which, I’m assuming, is why Carnival couldn’t carry the fundie nut job vote. They’re predominately grifters like Rump, following the prosperity gospel.
And for all those fundie freaks who think Rump isn’t a true believer, they’ve got one in Pence.
We do know one thing, and that is that the muscle of the pro-life movement is strong enough and the discipline of the GOP is sure enough that you have to be pro-life enough.”
He’s gonna alienate most American women even some married ones.
As he spoke, Valentine fought back tears.
Let those tears flow boy, I’m hoping for a glut on the market to drive the price down. Conservative tears…more delicious than any mere alcohol!
Is it wrong that I’m smiling?
Trump bought him and I’m sure he came pretty cheap.
And as soon as they got there it would be the bitching Olympics about the chlorine.
I laugh at the idea that anyone “Turned Trump to their will…”
I think what the mean is, “We managed to not backslide on the issues that Trump could personally not be bothered to care about… Which fortunately is most of them. If Mike Pence is his VP and he says he’s gonna let his VP do all the decision making for him, then we can live with that.”
“…if we could look deep into his soul, we would, we’d figure it all out…”
Nietzsche had a warning that concerned what happens when you gaze into the abyss.
These right wing religious groups remind me of TV evangelist. They may believe they are religious and godly, but they all seem to me to be driven by money and believe that their wealth shows that god is blessing them because they are doing the right thing, they have to keep doing these things to stay in god’s grace and power and I feel like almost all have one, if not several, skeletons in the closet. Although I must admit I find it hard to believe they can justify Trumps sins, old and continuing, with the life away from sin they promote.
Someone needs to point out to Dishonest Don that we don’t have a system in which the Chief of State is an office distinct from the Chief Executive. He needs to move to Israel or France – they elect their President and the office doesn’t have many of those icky policy duties he’s so bored about.
As he spoke, Valentine fought back tears.
Oh god. This is like comedy.
What they fail to take into account is that future republican presidential primary contests will descend to ever more uncivil and illiberal matches where the winner in the eyes of the revanchist base will be the one who is best able to dominate, demean and denigrate their opponents. The one who is the crudest. The basest. Dare I say it? The most bestial. The current contest certainly seems to set a precedent/roadmap for the future.
How is that going to square with their, self righteous, sanctimonious, holier-than-thouism?
“The platform, among other things, calls pornography a public health threat to society, urges lawmakers use the Bible as a guide in legislating, promotes the teaching of the Bible in schools, while spewing out a litany of anti-abortion and anti-LGBT rights positions.”
In other words, a bunch of shit that will never see the light of day in legislation and that will guarantee that most Americans will reject the whole damn thing.
And if elected, Trump has no intention of following the platform.
