MAGA is saying Bishop Budde is “satanic” for asking Trump to show mercy. Jesus said “blessed are the merciful for they shall be shown mercy.” So by their own logic Jesus himself was a satanist.

Trump demands an apology from the Bishop who asks for kindness and mercy in her sermon. This is all you need to know about this despicable cretin. Next executive order will be to delete those words from American dictionaries.

In 10 days the US will install a convicted felon to the Presidency. A person who was also found liable for sexual assault, a traitor who attempted to nullify a free and fair election, and most likely sold classified info to our adversaries. Half the country voted for this. It's sickening.

Remember when the WAPO was keeping track of all Trump's lies? Is the MSM going to track and report how many ex-cons, sexual predators, Russian assets, insurrectionists, and all around incompetent nutjobs will be in his administration? Or will they just sit back and pretend this is all normal.

Kash Patel has been a danger to this country for years. John Bolton compared him to a Soviet secret police leader. Bill Barr said he’d let Trump appoint Kash to the # 2 spot in the FBI “over my dead body” saying the idea showed a “shocking detachment from reality.” Patel should never head the FBI.

Know this. If Biden does not release all US intelligence on the relationship between Trump and Putin, Trump's sycophants will destroy all of it for him. Putin will have installed a "Manchurian candidate" in plain sight of all of us.
