Does anyone really think they give a shit about 30 dead Iraqi Shia? Hell, they gave up a million or so Iranian corpses in the Iran-Iraq war. If 30:1 is the policy ratio, that implies 33,333 dead Americans before Iran will get tired of tit-for-tat reprisals.

OMG. He’s so stupid!!

This “Christian” thing makes me want to throw up.

We really are living the anti-Animal House plot.
Trump is Bluto

Oy vey!

How many degrees must one bend the elbow to make the photographed gesture a trumpeting of good christian piety instead of a Heil Hitler salute?

So, the war for oil and the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocents was all for shit.

Trump is proving every day that either …

There is no God.
God doesn’t care what happens.
God has a really sick sense of humor.

Oh, and that Trump is a fucking moron.

Onward Christen soldiers staying in the rear with the gear.

Yikes. Waving a red flag in front of a bull who brings his own china shop with him.

Red flag raised atop the Jamkaran mosque in Iran

Iranian state television aired images of a ceremony honouring Soleimani at a mosque in the Shiite holy city of Qom, where a red flag was unfurled above the minarets.

Red flags in Shiite tradition symbolise both blood spilled unjustly and serve as a call to avenge a person who is slain.

Passed by the recruiting office yesterday expecting to see Christians lined up to join Trump’s military.
I was so disappointed that his backers and believers seem to be in hiding.

Good lord

lastroth · January 4, 2020, 3:58pm

Rewriting history is sooo dicktatorish.

teenlaqueefa · January 4, 2020, 3:58pm

They all have bone spurs.

zillacop · January 4, 2020, 3:59pm

Heard there is an epidemic of bone spurs among the faithful.

zillacop · January 4, 2020, 3:59pm

Same time, same place.

sniffit · January 4, 2020, 3:59pm

Basically, that Christianity Today editorial killed Soleimani…

katscherger · January 4, 2020, 3:59pm

You must catch it from being in church

zillacop · January 4, 2020, 4:00pm

Well, then fortunately I’ve been spared all these years.

zlohcuc · January 4, 2020, 4:00pm

Oddly and unfortunately…the juxtaposition of high level murders and evangelicals does not seem to make strange bedfellows.
