Why does this new Religious Liberty Commission have an expiration date of July 4, 2026?
And DOGE does too.
I knew it was going to be bad, but I wasn't expecting them to go "the founding fathers were woke" so soon, they must be really confident about their grip on their brainwashed base.
I'm an exvangelical atheist and I do find myself wishing this whole administration would go rot in hell, so I guess you could say in some small way they've brought religion back to my life.
But seriously, this is fucked.
Traitor
I said to a mate a while ago that I thought that trump, (really the republicans), were possibly trying to overturn the enlightenment, and make the country in to a feudal society. Restore the world of gods and kings.
At the time it was a bit of a joke, but increasingly I'm more concerned about it.
I’m waiting until some DOGE or other trump goon just literally destroys the Constitution papers, or at least attempts to.
Ooops, we were installing a trump shrine and moving some old documents we didn’t need people to see anymore and it just kinda fell apart.
We need to get religion out of society altogether
I agree with you, but i would just remove the harmful ones that indoctrinate from birth, promote segregation, treat humans as property and have legal immunity just because the justice system doesn't want to meddle with the mess that is Christian paedophilia and familial abuse. The ones that don't intend to force their belief system onto people and trust that their existence will bring people that are interested, rather than unsolicited house calls or screaming at strangers about their idea of a deity. That's attractive...
You never had separation of church and state.
Only on paper.
Yeah it's kinda wacky how people believe in this kind of civil mythology.
Americans especially love their civil religion.
Their events and memorials are cringe AF.
Bombastic, pretentious and grotesque narcissism drenched in a sauce of cheap sentiment.
Where the population can come together and celebrate their Americanness masturbating to an enormous stars and stripes.
Homie is basically trying bring back everything American colonists rebelled against. Kings, state religion, massive tariffs. The only missing piece is tea.
... liberation of slaves...
That’s the one good piece. :(
So why aren’t the colonists rebelling?
They kinda are. Do you think every single colonist was out in the streets rebelling? No it was a percent. And there is a healyhy percent protesting right now. The revelution also didn't happen overnight. It took time to build momentum.
It was 5 years between the Boston Massacre (March 1770) and the first shot of the American Revolution (April 1775).
Also no one's reporting on it because the oligarch owned media is the enemy of the people
I see plenty of reports about the protests. They just aren't on fox news, which is fine. People watching that are a lost cause anyway.
If anyone is making 300k a year then Canada would love to pay you 60k a year
Blessed be the fruit
Actually that's more Elon's shtick
Mr we have birthrate issue and proceeds to have sons.
Actually a good meme there.
Trump's actually great at good governance. All one has to do is carefully listen to his suggestions and then do the exact opposite, and before you know it: Presto! Well-functioning highly-educated modern country with a balanced budget and booming economy.
All through Soviet times people have been making jokes pretty much exactly like this. It's wild.
Forget…good thing we have it written down in a document.
They are just as selective with that document as they are with the bible.
Because that has mattered so much to this administration and those sitting on the SCOTUS bench.
A document that is being ignored
It's in dire need of an overhaul anyway
But as it stands, it's still the law. The Tangerine Toddler doesn't care about the law though, nor do his cultists
It's in dire need of an overhaul anyway
Monkey's paw curls
Yeah,
I have little faith that it wouldn't be superseded by something even more shitty
if only that mattered to republicans. Heck they don't even respect things their own party did previously like fighting to free the slaves or the national parks.
Did they ever remember that part in tge first place?
What a fucking hypocrite! Fuck that turd!
How many deadly sins is he the embodiment of? Let alone how many commandments has he broken?
He checks every box for the antichrist. Turning the middle east into a resort would technically be peace.
It's the reason the evangelicals love him.
And this is not a joke either. It's literally every box for the antichrist
It's actually really uncanny just how much he fits the bill, and doubly so regarding how many christians follow and support him
They literally worship him as a false idol
This almost needs its own post. Ultimately it's what you read into it, but there is some interesting overlap. I did a quick scan of the places this person is mentioned in the Bible.
Daniel: Arises from a "fourth kingdom," which will rule over the Earth. He will be a king who will succeed 10 kings from this kingdom (these are presented as 10 horns on an enormous, terrifying beast, and later clarified to be kings). This king will be different from the kings who came before, and he will subdue 3 kings.
2 Thessalonians: He is called the lawless one.
Revelation: A dragon will emerge from the sea and will have 10 horns and 7 heads wearing 10 crowns, each head containing a blasphemous name. The beast will emerge from the sea, and will derive his throne and authority from the dragon. (The dragon seems to be implied to be a revived Roman Empire, with the 7 heads representing the 7 hills of Rome.)
He receives what appears (to John) to be a mortal head wound, but survives.
He will rule for 42 months.
He will be a master of deceit, cause astounding devastation, be successful in whatever he does, cause deceit to prosper, and consider himself superior.
A second beast will arise with the authority of the first beast, and makes people follow the first beast, and kills those who do not. He will brand all with the number 666 (John cautions not to read this literally), and none may buy or sell without this mark.
Ultimately, the beast will be defeated, captured, and cast alive into a lake of fire. Carrion birds will feast on his allies.
TBF this is nothing knew*. Who put God on the USD?
* though he seems determined to stop even keeping up appearances
Oh fuck no.
Burn him!
Yeah it's a shame that they don't bring back burning heretics. USA would be fucked.
Where's the church of Satan when you need them
Republicans have a lot in common with the church of satan. It’s the satanic temple you probably want.
