It was never about Christianity with Republicans.
It has always been about white supremacy.

The Americans starving these children wear crucifixes and call themselves “Christians.”

People are not what they tell you they are; they are how they behave.

This is what they have been preaching at MAGA churches for years, pastors invoking Trump as a prophet and king, indoctrinating the cult. This is the extent of MAGA "Christianity", they've successfully removed Christ and why they now openly attack Catholics and other denominations.

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records

The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

Funny, how the DOJ didn’t go after the “Biden crime family”

It’s like they never actually committed any crimes. ..

This was shocking.

It be nice not to have to check in & see what espionage act has been done daily.
It be great to be able to just get on with our lives with a sense of security that the presidency is working for the benefit of not just Americans, but the whole world.
I just wanted to redesign historic churches FFS 🤦🏼

If Republicans loved America, this is their only option.

I’m sure @kamalaharris.com or any leading Democrat could can take over the presidency but let’s be real it’s going to take years to fix.
Republicans can’t be trusted.
JD would be a train wreck.

Let USA lead the world again with Democrats!

If I was a Jan 6 homegrown terrorist, Nazi, proud boy, Oathkeeper, white nationalist assassin committing espionage I would be a millionaire by now.

Instead, I have #Taxliens on both my #churches & lost 6 figure income, trying to save buildings.
Not everyone has access to bribing #billionaires !

By the way, this is what happens when you campaign to save #churches every day for 9 years and get distracted being a political activist for the Democratic Party to fight for democracy and rule of law, and who have never supported your campaign.

Donald Trump is a 34 count felon that should be in prison.

Of course he is a republican and as we all know Republicans are all above the law as they have special superior MAGA grooming !

The guy on the right is Trump‘s “spiritual advisor“ who just pleaded guilty to sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl.

I assume at this stage that every Republican major donor abuses little children.

Goebbels was the master of simplified #hate-mongering, Among his most infamous quotations is this, for which the average #Trumpvoter can relate:

“the rank & file are usually much more primitive than we imagine. Propaganda must therefore always be essentially simple and repetitious.”

#MAGA 🖕🏾

Trump's Stephen Miller and Hitler's Joseph Goebbels are chillingly similar.

Trump’s hate-stoking policy guru may be Jewish — but he still bears a scary resemblance to the Nazi Propaganda Minister in both substance and style. another in my series comparing hitler’s ...
