Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Former President Donald Trump is now at the “go to any lengths necessary” stage of his public career to get attention. To wit? He just posted a satirical version of Paul Harvey’s famous “So God Made a Farmer” video in which HE is the subject.

And yes, it’s just as creepy and a messianic bit of messaging that will cause many to cringe but others to fall to their knees in supplication.

The former president shared the video on his Truth Social account and was included in a slew of “joking but not joking” and over-the-top political videos for which Trump is known.

He is so clearly an anti-christ, absolutely sickening.

[–] Wermhatswormhat@lemmy.world 47 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I’m not a religious dude, but I do know that the antichrist will come as a false prophet. Followed by the whore of babalyon, taking all bets on who that one is 🤔

I'll do one better! WHY IS MELANIA?

[–] pete_the_cat@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

How is Melania?

Me, I'm the whore of baybalyon. Meow.

Still at home puking.

He's like the Seven Deadly Sins wrapped up in a Golden Calf

[–] Kraven_the_Hunter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 10 months ago (2 children)

All Christians everywhere: "This is fine."

[–] SuiXi3D@kbin.social 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Almost like they didn’t actually read the book. Nothing made me an atheist faster than taking the time to read the Bible.

I contest that it's impossible for someone with ADHD to be Christian. Theres no way they would be able to read that scribble.

[–] GiddyGap@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

I consider myself a Christian, and I don't think this is fine at all. In fact, I can't think of a single circumstance under which I would vote for Donald Trump.

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

Collecting deadly sins like they are Pokemon.

[–] AnneBonny@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 10 months ago

It sure looks like it.
