“ In a CNN appearance, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde blasted Trump for the grotesque stunt.
“Let me be clear: The president just used a Bible, the most sacred text of the Judeo-Christian tradition, at one of the churches of my diocese, without permission, as the backdrop to a message antithetical to the teachings of Jesus and everything that our churches stand for.”
“I am outraged,” she fumed. “The president did not pray when he came to St. John’s nor did he acknowledge the agony of our country right now.”
So Trump was trespassing on church grounds after tear gassing the crowd that had peacefully assembled there.
So where did Trump get the Bible, anyway? Did he loot it from the church?
The bishop also spoke to a Washington Post reporter. “I am the bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington and was not given even a courtesy call, that they would be clearing [the area] with tear gas so they could use one of our churches as a prop.”

I was joking with my wife last night that we missed out on an amazing opportunity by staying home.
We could have been taking potshots at the White House with a potato gun, very possibly consequence-free considering the range on those things.

I mean, the new guy isn’t all that much better. NRA “A” rating, anti-abortion, Christian fundamentalist, and to top it all off endorsed by Ben Shapiro.

I’m hoping that not having the incumbent advantage works in his opponent’s favor.
Buzzfeed’s really not fucking around with their headline, either:
Iowa voted a racist out of Congress
That’s how you do it.

I am frequently flummoxed by the fact that the folk that support him are the folk most likely to believe in a literal antichrist, and yet cannot see that Trump ticks all the boxes. I just don’t get it.

Because the people who support him are also racist as hell, and they don’t think a white man can be the anti-christ… well…maybe if he’s catholic… Now Obama… he’s not white and is slightly left of the far right, so… clearly the anti-christ.

Putting this here because it demonstrates that Trump doesn’t need to cancel the election, just prevent enough people in the right places from being able to vote:

And he won’t even have to suppress that many.
The working class are not going to come out and vote en masse for the Democratic Party after police and guardsmen controlled by Democratic mayors and governors have been kicking the shit out of them.
White supremacy is bipartisan, and while the middle class may still be in denial about this fact, the working class are not.

Let’s see if this stance holds. Esper may have just earmarked himself to be fired…
