One of the few anti-Trump posts that I actually liked, because it's one of the few that's genuinely true. He's got a huge thing for big tittied blondes... also, cheating on them. Also, thinking that he's "good with money," in spite of all evidence to the contrary.
This puzzles me, why do he rape children... Or, are these "wives" just a facade, and he seeks the "perfect" one for that job. Yes, job. ANd continues secretly having sex with children?
And this is why Democrats keep losing elections. Trump is many awful things, but "pdf " is not one of them. He has a type. Big tittied blondes. He has never been subtle about it.
Your desperate obsession with clinging to a ridiculous fantasy about Trump being a pdf not only makes you guys sound ridiculous to anyone outside your echo chamber, but it also makes him seem LESS guilty than he is, because instead of talking about his ACTUAL crimes, you keep ranting about fictional ones.
Ahem...something about Trump and Catholic priests. And Reagan, Falwell, and adultery too.

Dementia Don met Melanoma while on a date with Celina Midelfart, while he was still legally married to Marla, who he cheated with while he was still married to Ivanka, oops, I mean Ivana.
They had this coming. I have issues with the fact that choices made by American voters will be the downfall of millions of people who had absolutely no say in the matter and screaming warnings from the rooftops fell on deaf ears.
I didn't attribute it to him because I was looking at the Sinclair Lewis society website and their FAQ said they couldn't find it in his writing, though he has a couple of passages that resemble it.
For over a decade now, Americans have been told to "vote for the lesser evil." So... they did.
Seriously, as bad as Trump is, he was still the lesser evil. The fat, lazy, venal, stupid adulterer was still better than the corrupt, racist warmonger, or the corrupt, empty-headed prosecutor. (Technically he was better than the dementia patient, but people were REALLY annoyed with how badly he'd handled the pandemic response, which is why he lost in 2020)
It's amusing how you hurled a barrage of personal attacks without actually addressing any of my points. Hell, it's almost as if you didn't even UNDERSTAND them, as if you were programmed to hurl a generic response at anyone who doesn't share the groupthink.
You used the word "corrupt" twice, in addition to "racist", "empty-headed" and "warmonger" while describing Trumps opponents. Care to explain your reasoning for using words that far more accurately describe Trump than his opponents, and why he was a better candidate?
Two separate candidates, in two separate elections. Both were corrupt. Clinton pushed the racist "Crime Bill" in the 1990s by calling black teenagers "vicious superpredators," and please don't pretend she wasn't a warmonger. Harris had no thoughts in her head beyond "tell me what to say, wealthy donors."
I never said Trump was good. But as awful as he might be, he was still the lesser evil to enough Americans to win. Twice.
Kinda funny how every single one of his relationships are transactional. If you didn’t know any better, you might think the only way he manages to fuck anyone is by rape or paying them.
American "Christians" simply use Chrstianity as a shield to hide behind to justify their shitty hateful ideologies and to protect them from facing accountability for them. So yes, they are perfectly okay with it as long as it isn't being done by people they don't like.
Dude. I’m a twice a year devout Christian (Xmas & Easter) and they make it known that both my wife and I are sinners (both 2nd marriage) so the answer is no. But the church we attend is non-denominational and is public service focused so it’s a little different
The religious right has one sole and overriding concern that is more important to them than all others: you must tell them that they are special, important, privileged, that they do in fact come first and deserve special treatment, and that everyone else is lesser. And whatever else Trump has done, he has done that sort of things in spades. Their love for him in response is entirely consistent with their priorities.
Forgive me, I shouldn't be so surprised or doubtful of our self appreciated Lord and Savior Trump. (Just a heads up Jesus, that was a joke, please be more understanding than the federal agent monitoring this comment)
King war daddy Trump is the second cuming of Jesus! And Jesus said love the little children, that's why he has to love them whether they want it or not. After all raping children is a traditional church past time.
I believe many christians don't actually believe in the bible stuff, jesus christ teachings or anything relayed to religion. I believe many of them just like to be seen as holier than the rest.
Conservatives across history and the globe are not tied to acts being right or wrong. They are tied to who is doing them. Anyone in their "in group" can do no wrong and anyone in their "out group" can do no right. So r@ping children is fine if someone in the "in group" does it. Feeding starving children is wrong if someone from the "out group" does it. See? Simple
Exactly. I'm Italian, and we also have staunch defenders of "traditional family and Christian values" who divorce and remarry and have illegitimate children and whatnot. Bigotry, double standards, and hypocrisy are the staples upon which conservatism is built. And as much as I'd love to see conservative politicians worldwide hanging like the bald Italian pig, I hate their voters more. People who have NOTHING, but believe the super rich and their friends care about them...
Fun fact: very few people who claim to be Christian actually follow rules Christians are supposed to follow and instead use it as:
a) a means of controlling the uneducated masses, b) to thump your stupid hateful ass ideas on anyone who doesn't toss in a $50 every Sunday or who are slightly different, and c) a way to get unrestricted access to children brought up to trust "religious leaders."
If they're okay with children being raped and shot up, I don't see why they would care now.
The ‘pure’ religious belief of (mainly but not exclusively Christian) people living say 200 years ago when to believe in an all powerful deity was at the bottom of their whole existence has been diluted both by the ‘pollution’ of being surrounded by non-believers and those of other faiths and also by the continuing barrage of science explaining pretty much everything that, in the past, would have been caused by ‘God’. The modern world killed proper faith substituted by an emotional anchor.
The first major controversy in the Christian church was whether or not to allow gentiles in the synagogue as the circumcision requirement was Mosaic law. Paul claimed the holy poltergeist whispered in his ear and told him it was OK. The uncircumcised Romans and Greeks were rich compared to the Jews. It’s always been about the money, even when Jesus was running the show.
Christianity is a great thing but unfortunately humans are the ones practising it. Humans are fucking evil and ruin everything they touch. Like socialism is great in vacuum, but add humans to the mix and it turns to shit real fast. I am anti-human and would be low key happy if we all just died off.
Christians are okay with absolutely anything that increases their power. Anything from the Bible that's embarrassing or inconvenient to Christians is an allegory, a metaphor, or is being taken out of context.
For example: Jesus told the Rich Man that if he wanted to go to heaven, he had to sell all his possessions and give the money to the poor. Christians today will tell you that those were specific instructions for that one rich man, and NOT specific instructions for all rich men.
This has been a base for catholic leaning countries, actually.
Catholic Social Teaching (rooted in Leo XIII's Rerum Novarum, reinforced by Vatican II and later popes) draws heavily on this passage. Wealth creates a spiritual risk precisely because it generates comfort, self-sufficiency, and indifference to the suffering of others. The rich are called to solidarity and detachment — giving generously, not clinging.
That's why taxes are good, and good Christians should be happy paying them.
