Honestly surprised it doesn’t play Lee Greenwood when you open it, like a birthday card.

And if you act now the Bible will include the song “Stand by Your Man.”

For the life of me, it is Unfathomable that the remnants of the once Grand Old Party cannot find a normal, honorable, Constitutional Candidate to run for President. Trump laughs in the face of those that buy his snake oil and he would never break bread with any of them. Are they really that ignorant?

Expand full comment

It does seem they are that ignorant; I think much of it has to do with hate. They hate the same people (immigrants - which in reality we are all from immigrant backgrounds; liberals, the list is endless) he hates and his followers feel if he can publicly hate so can they. The problem is, he hates his followers too; but loves the money they send him. He is nothing but a draft dodging, illiterate, narcissistic, sociopathic conman/grifter who should be institutionalized in a mental hospital for the criminally insane. As for the GOP, they are no longer the Grand Old Party, they are now the Trump Party. I hope they’re happy.

OMG!! “ if he can publicly hate, so can they“. You are so right. This is worded so succinctly. Please, please stop the hate.

Expand full comment

The only way to stop the hate is to vote against the hater named trump, and even then it’s going to take, who knows how long to bring our country back to some normalcy.

I couldn't have said it better. You completed my thoughts. TY

GQP has been on a steady downward slide since Nixon. From Nixon to B Movie actor Reagan to Iran/Contra conspirator HW Bush to war criminal W to career criminal Trump. There are no normal, honorable Constitutional Republicans left. They have all been driven out.

You’re spot on about the REAL PROBLEM.

Trump is their best chance for the presidency. That alone should alarm even them.

The followers are in it for the long haul. I fear they will turn anything ( and anyone ) over, should he even suggest.

I agree and it worries me more than just a little. He easily could get names of people who vote for democrats, are in democratic political groups, listen to or read democratic podcasts and books, etc. He’s a stochastic terrorist and one coded comment from him could set in motion the harassment or murder of judges, politicians, authors, etc. that have been critical of him. Between this Bible sales adventure and the Trump controlled RNC stating there will be a fealty test to be a party member, he reminds me more of a Jim Jones or David Koresh type then any politician I’ve seen. He’s not religious but it doesn’t matter.

One of the reasons he was so popular in the beginning was his TV show”The Apprentice”. It made him look like a successful businessman, which he had never been. So many, instead of researching his history, took that as truth, even though a lot of us knew him for the con man he had been for many years.

We cannot allow him to be returned to the White House, or we will never again have a free and fair election.

Expand full comment

You said the magic word "research". 3 failed Casinos and 6 bankrupted businesses should have been a first hint of his character. The small business he destroyed in Atlantic City whom he refused to pay is another character flaw. Cheated on wife #1 with wife #2 (she was pregnant) and cheated on her with wife #3 whom he had a hookup with a prostitute with a week after #3 gave birth to his 5th child. 5 children with 3 different women is far from the Christian values that are precious to me and my family. I'm sorry our precious American Democracy deserves better than Trump.

Expand full comment

You are absolutely correct. I, too, am a liberal Christian, and I’m appalled at his selling Bibles. He is the antithesis of Jesus Christ.

Expand full comment

I concur- I believe that if there had been no Apprentice television show, there would be no President Trump. Familiarity with name and face of a man who has fooled you into thinking of him as “the boss”, to thinking of him as successful, that’s how he got in - naïve and gullible people - And Now he has to GO!!

Exactly! I blame NBC for putting his face in front of the nation.

Also, hiring that dingbat Ronna ROMNEY McDaniels (Trump made her drop the ROMNEY, he doesn't like her Uncle Mitt).

Here’s how the “Left Behind” series describes the “anti-Christ” (via Gemini):

In the Left Behind series, the Antichrist is a charismatic and seemingly benevolent leader who rises to power during a period of global crisis. Here's a breakdown of his portrayal:

* **Rise to Power:** The series depicts him ascending to a prominent position, often within the United Nations, after a devastating event like the Rapture (disappearance of believers). He capitalizes on the ensuing chaos and fear.

* **Deceptive Demeanor:** He comes across as charming, intelligent, and offering solutions to the world's problems. This facade gains him trust and admiration from many.

* **Sinister Motives:** However, beneath the surface, the Left Behind Antichrist is driven by a hidden agenda. The series portrays him as working for evil forces and aiming for ultimate global control.

* **Eventual Revelation:** As the story progresses, clues about his true nature are revealed. His followers become increasingly devoted, while those who oppose him face persecution.

Sound like anyone we know? 🤔😉😊

Exactly!!! I know some may think it's a stretch but all signs are there.

Personally, I think Revelation is the result of John of Patmos getting some bad rye, or the wrong mushrooms. But the “Left-Behinders” (which include my sister) think those fantasies are real, and I’m just following their lead. 🤔😉😊

Trumps motto should be “Make Americans ‘prey’ again,” and again, and again…

I love this - especially "from the man who has broken every Commandment—likely more than once even though he can’t name them."

LOL, his Bible coming out just in time to coincide with all the testimony on his fling with Stormy Daniels while his wife was caring for their newborn, and how he tried to hide that dirty deed from US voters. Honest to God, this guy has all the confidence of the greatest con artist of all time. That of course doesn’t speak very well of the suckers drinking his Koolaide 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Trump is apparently completely oblivious of the multiple ironies involved in his latest attempt to con people.

Expand full comment

After Trump loses in November,

After the frivolous election lawsuits are dispatched,

After the new insurrection is put down, after Trump faces true justice in his many criminal indictments,

Then we will need to figure out someway to deal with the remnants of the magic cult, and we have no idea as of now Where that will lead, or how long it will take to put back into the wood pile from which the cult members came.

Please, in all my 73 years I can't believe I've had to live through this Trumpian horror. My dad must be rolling in his grave.

Mine too. He passed away a few days before Trump was elected and the only positive was that he didn’t have to see what happened since.

New headline. Drumpf and the Neo-Christians and the Neo-Christian/Republikan/Fascist party have joined forces and now prey together. AND for just $59.99 (plus shipping and handling) you may purchase the King Drumpf version of the Bible. With your purchase, you too may join this force that “preys” together. We have special audio clips and testimonials from House Speaker Mike Johnson, SCOTUS members Alito, Barrett and Thomas, Victor Orban, and several billionaire fascists who support the King Drumpf Neo-Christian teachings and life.

Yes, all of this for the mere price of democracy and your soul.

My own PS to this comment of mine is that I truly am anguished by everything associated with this horrible man and the status of our country. I use dark humor to survive and keep pushing for a better democracy.

I CAN SEE HIM TRYING TO SWEAR ON HIS OWN BIBLE AT ALL HIS TRIALS NOW. . THIS CARNIVAL BARKER HAS NO SHAME . NOW HE WILL BE TRYING TO YAKE OVER CHRISTIANITY LIKE HE DID THE GQP.

He'll swear on it. He doesn't believe in any of it. He's never darkened the doorway of a Church. The Evangelicals kneel at his feet in his house. Not God's house. He's just a conniving con artist.
