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.
So, it’s been 8 years, and I expected all of this since there were 0 consequences last time, but he’s being blatantly worse with things like this already right?
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.
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.
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.
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.
That was sarcasm, he didn’t hide anything. He’s openly corrupt and no one with any power cares.
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 camps prisons 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.
