“It doesn’t have to be true; it just has to go viral” is pretty much the GOP’s mission statement these days

God may have given us Donald Trump, but then again he also gave us schizophrenia, muscular dystrophy, cancer, ingrown toenails, male pattern baldness, and a thousand other diseases we could do without. So, what's their point? They have no point of course. They are simply making excuses for the indefensible. Few things ever better demonstrated the disconnect between religion and morality quite like the evangelicals pledging their unconditional love for Donald Trump.

The ads tRump runs are full of lies. . . Lies about his “caring for the military,” . . . Lies about the economy --which was healthy after Obama rescued us from George W and tanked by tRump . . . .then rescued by Biden who actually DEALT with Covid. . . And believe me, the ENTITLED, SELFISH MAGAts TOOK THE MONEY.

"He works all day."

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Trump couldn't even be bothered to contribute to the book with his name on the cover ("The Art of the Deal"). The real author of that book (Tony Schwartz) would later detail Trump's epic laziness on that project.

"Works all day," eh? The man spent more time on the golf course than in the Oval Office , I suspect, and if he worked at all, he worked in his own interests and rarely if ever for the American people as a whole.

I DO have a fair amount of respect for farmers. My granddad was one, after he worked as a cop in Elyria, Ohio, and he did well at that. I have less than NO RESPECT for Trump.

[Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!]

I was just talking about false prophets and here we are again.

The man had defrauded the workers. Sexually assaulted women. Assaulted women. Mocked the disabled. Mocked veterans. Authorized the kidnapping of children from helpless and desperate parents. Lied constantly. Praised dictators and tyrants who murder and oppress the innocent and helpless. Broken his word constantly. His lies and cowardice have led directly to tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of deaths.

But the false prophets come along and lie and flatter his ego. Christians love false prophets. They love people who tell them that they're good people and that the decisions they make are God's will.

[hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.]

If God gave us Trump would he take him back. The majority really don’t want or need him.

Just a little morning humor

If YHVH sent us this orange lump, then he only confirms the low opinion anyone sane has of him at doing his job.

As St. George Carlin said in "You Are All Diseased": "In any decently run universe, this guy would have been out on his all-powerful ass a long time ago."

So an imaginary dictator in the sky gave us a flesh-and-blood would-be dictator?

So God gave the Christians a narcissistic, criminal psychopath as a caretaker who will cure everything that's wrong with the nation and restore Christianity as the state religion. Nice going, God.

The root cause of all of this is that a significant percentage of the population isn't interested in thinking through things. They have learned to accept nonsense as truth on the religious front, so it is nothing to accept that tRump is the man to fix all the problems with society that Faux Snooze tells them to be angry about. They are lazy and are quite content to be told what to think. Like the Orange Menace. They are tribal, easily-propagandized, and wouldn't know a cognitive dissonance if it bit them on the nose.

This is my version: And on June 14, 1946, The Demon looked down on His planned paradise and said, “I need a destroyer.” So the Demon gave us Trump.

The Demon said, “I need somebody willing to get up before dawn, destroy this country, tweet all day, fight the true patriots, eat supper, then go to the Oval Office and stay past midnight at a meeting of the heads of state.” So the Demon made Trump.

“I need somebody with arms weak enough to rustle the deep state and yet gentle enough to murder his own grandchild. Somebody to ruffle the feathers, enflame the cantankerous World Economic Forum, come home sated, never wait until the First Lady is done with lunch with friends, then tell the I'll grab you by your pussies, to be sure and come back real soon—and never mean a word of it it.” The Demon gave us Trump.

“I need somebody who can shape pasta but wield a wet noodle, who had the cowardice to step foot in North Korea, who can go bankrupt and bankrupt our country” So the Demon made Trump.

The Demon had to have somebody willing to go into the den of vipers, call out the truth as fake news for his tongue as sharp as a serpent's—the poison of vipers is on his lips—and never stop. So the Demon made Trump. '

The Demon said, “I need somebody who will be weak and ineffective, who will always be afraid and terrified of the truth when they attack. A man who does not care for the flock, a shepherd to kill mankind, who will always leave and forsake them. I need the most sluggish worker to follow the path of the demons and remain and crawl into a hole and hide from the belief of God and country. Somebody who's willing to destroy the planet, send manufacturing and jobs to other countries, destroy the farm the lands, seal us off from the world so that only his words are spread, disband our military, fight the system all day, and finish a hard week's work by attending church on Sunday to worship Trump and only Trump”

And then his oldest son turns and says, “Dad, let's make Destroy America again. Dad, let's build back a country to be the laughingstock of the world again.”

So, the Demons made Trump.

God said, “I need somebody who will be strong and courageous, who will not be afraid or terrified of the wolves when they attack."

God said "Wolves", not "Bald Eagles".

Dilley obviously never met Trump, and has had his eyes nailed shit for the past eight or so years, because nothing in that nonsense is even remotely true. But the most egregious lie was this:

“God said, “I need somebody who will be strong and courageous, who will not be afraid or terrified of the wolves when they attack.””

Trump is the biggest coward on the face of the planet. He has zero intestinal fortitude and does every shady, illogical and illegal thing he can to avoid the repercussions of his actions. He’s a bully, and bullies are not strong and brave they’re weak, scared children that lash out at anyone who they perceive as better than them. So we know who Trump thinks is his superior, it’s a long list. The notable names not on the list, Putin and Kim Jung Un, also bullies and cowards.

ETA leaving the typo in the first sentence, he is shit.

Who’s falling for the “work all day” line? His most memorable pics are of him on the golf course day after day after day. What was the figure the Post noted-230 some days on the links in just ONE year of his “presidency”? And he’s been a famous golf cheat for decades (ask Lindsey). Many folks, mostly men, claim they’re making wheels & deals on the course but who wants a country that’s the result of sycophants allowing him to cheat? Only the most MAGA faithful evidently. Which says as much about them as it does him.
