You calling a late-night joke “violent” would be laughable if it weren’t so blatantly dishonest.
You defended Donald Trump when he threatened catastrophic destruction against Iran, language that implied the death of tens of millions.
You stayed silent when Trump shared racist imagery dehumanizing Barack Obama and his family, tapping into a long, ugly history of comparing Black people to animals to justify hatred and violence.
You excused the January 6 United States Capitol attack, where more than 100 police officers were assaulted and lives were lost, all in service of a lie.
You said nothing when Trump encouraged police brutality, telling officers not to be “too nice,” and nothing when peaceful protesters were tear-gassed for a political photo-op with a Bible.
You said nothing when Trump mocked, demeaned, and even expressed satisfaction over the suffering and deaths of political opponents, yet now you suddenly find your moral voice when a comedian tells a joke.
And now you want to pretend this is about decency.
No, this is not about decency. It is about selective outrage, partisan loyalty, and a willingness to sanctify anything, no matter how vile, as long as it comes from the right person.
Calling Jimmy Kimmel’s joke dangerous while defending years of dehumanizing, violent rhetoric is not Christian. It’s hypocrisy dressed up in scripture.
So Trump didn’t think he was Jesus…he thought he was a doctor? A doctor with no scrubs, no stethoscope, no hospital setting? A doctor with glowing hands performing miracles like Christ?
@Franklin_Graham, do you really want us to believe that?
I can’t say that I’m surprised because you defended Trump when he bragged about grabbing women by their vaginas and brushed it off as “locker room talk.“
You defended Trump when he threatened mass death against an entire nation. You defended Trump when he mocked the vulnerable, the poor, and the powerless.
You defend Trump no matter how vile, reprehensible, immoral, or inhumane his behavior is. Your moral compass is broken. What you practice is not Christianity, it’s idolatry with Bible verses attached. You’re not defending Christ, you’re protecting power.
And every time you excuse wickedness for the sake of a political alliance you prove you’re more loyal to white supremacy than you are to the Gospel.
You should be ashamed. 
Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney#Cameroon https://t.co/bKteFZ3iWE
BREAKING: Catholic U.S. Congressman @tedlieu just released a torching statement about Trump and Vance mocking Jesus, and demands an appology:
“Stop doing stupid stuff like attacking the Pope… It’s very clear when you look at the Bible, that you don’t have false idols, and you don’t mock God... Donald Trump posted an image of himself as Jesus. He should not be making a false idol of himself. No one should be worshipping Donald Trump. He needs to apologize for that deeply offensive post… JD Vance says ‘that was a joke.' Well this is what the Bible says about that… ‘do not be deceived. God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.’ So Donald Trump is going to reap what he sows.”
Trump went on another unhinged early morning posting spree today:
11:34 PM (attacked the Pope again)
11:39 PM (attacked NATO)
12:01 AM (posted an article citing one of Epstein’s defense attorneys)
12:01 AM (article about Biden)
12:02 AM (article about Judge Boasberg)
12:02 AM (article about ActBlue)
12:03 AM (article about Iran)
12:08 AM (announces Fox News interview)
1:10 AM (attacks Pope Leo again with random meme)
1:11 AM (attacks Obama with random meme)
1:12 AM (posts meme defending his AI Jesus photo of himself)
25th Amendment now.
Absurd and inhuman violence is spreading ferociously through the sacred places of the Christian East, profaned by the blasphemy of war and the brutality of business, with no regard for people’s lives, which are considered at most collateral damage of self-interest. But no gain can be worth the life of the weakest, children, or families. No cause can justify the shedding of innocent blood.
“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” -trump
Only one class of weapons can prevent a civilization from being brought back: nuclear weapons.
The Cabinet must invoke the 25th Amendment, now.
Yes, Trump started a war and can’t figure how to get out of it. Gas prices are spiking, groceries cost a fortune, airline fares are rising, the Attorney General was just fired, the job market is wretched, the national debt is out of control, but the president is laser focused.
NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has taken steps to block or delay promotions for more than a dozen Black and female senior officers across all four branches of the military, some of whom are seen as having been targeted because of their race, gender or perceived affiliation with Biden administration policies or officials, according to nine U.S. officials familiar with the process. https://t.co/KUvNlQcNV4
Congratulations AG Blanche. Now you have 30 days to release the rest of the files before becoming criminally liable for failure to comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
White evangelicals and Black maga aligned Christians went to the White House during holy week and compared Donald Trump to Jesus Christ.
This is heretical, blasphemous, and abominable.
if you all really believe Trump should be elevated to messianic status and that he is truly like Jesus, test your theory out. Crucify him and see if he gets back up in three days.
Mr. President: I have a better idea. Instead of spending over a trillion dollars on never-ending wars abroad while plunging the working class into poverty here at home, let’s invest in universal childcare, Medicare for All and affordable housing.
America first!
