Christians vs "Christians"

"Christian:"

> “The Left Wants to Hijack Jesus! Don’t Let Them.” The essay, written by longtime religious right activist and failed Republican presidential candidate Gary Bauer, warned that the “secular left” is out to take away “the Jesus we know.” [NB: AKA White Jesus] https://religionnews.com/2026/03/30/christian-nationalists-are-panicking-because-religious-progressives-are-thriving/

> " Pete Hegseth’s pastor for praying for [James Talarico's] death.

[...]

Christian nationalists’ preferred framing of American politics as “secular left vs. Christian”" https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/mar/25/james-talarico-pete-hegseth-pastor

> "Douglas Wilson and other Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC) pastors arguing that women should lose the vote in the United States....

Joshua Haymes [...] has claimed that liberalism is a greater threat to the US than neo-Nazism, and that the Bible is “pro-Ice raids”. On X, he has also advocated for capital punishment for adultery and abortion, and appeared to call for the drowning of LGBTQ+ Pride marchers." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/aug/22/pastor-joshua-haymes-pete-hegseth

Christian:

> "James Talarico, and [...] Andy Beshear, whom Bauer attacks for supporting full dignity of transgender people and for their faithful conviction that abortion should be a right." op cit

> "Talarico [...] has said he forgives Pete Hegseth’s pastor for praying for his death. [...]: “We want him crucified with Christ.” [please see above]

Talarico said on X: “Jesus loves. Christian Nationalism kills. You may pray for my death, Pastor, but I still love you. I love you more than you could ever hate me.” op cit

> (El Paso, TX) "With the help of about 30 volunteers, since June of last year, the ministry begun by the two sisters has accompanied more than 1,000 people in immigration court, and they’ve accompanied about 300 people in immigration detention each year.

When the immigrants finish, if the agents are there, the volunteers are afforded a short time to prepare them to face possible detention — they provide Sharpies to write families’ numbers on their bodies, prompt them to make a plan for their car and childcare and ask if they will share their information so another team can visit them in detention and support their families." https://religionnews.com/2026/03/30/el-paso-catholic-sisters-develop-comprehensive-care-model-for-detained-immigrants/

> "According to [the Rev. Michael Woolf], a pastor ordained in both the American Baptist Churches USA and Alliance of Baptists denominations, that clarity came from recognizing the significance of a white pastor with U.S. citizenship advocating for immigrant rights. In addition to immigration being an emphasis of his ministry for years, his doctoral dissertation was focused on the Sanctuary Movement....

[...]

“People being willing to stand up for their neighbors, to stand up to the state with all its violence and all its capacity to inflict harm — that’s all Sanctuary values,” he said. “Those are Sanctuary ethics.”" https://religionnews.com/2026/03/30/his-arrest-went-viral-now-rev-michael-woolf-is-preaching-what-he-calls-sanctuary-values/

OT

Gen-Xers. We had a show (in fact I was 19) called."The Adventures of Pete & Pete" it had people like Michael Stipe be an ice cream man. Steve Buscemi, Janeane Garofalo and Iggy Pop as occasional occasional characters?

That a cool kids show.

Let's not forget forget Artie. The strongest man in the world!!!!

What a god damed stupid show. But Baconz loves it.

Debbie Harry, too. And Syd Straw as teacher Ms. Fingerwood.

And of course, Trumpets will hail Trump’s every mumbled stale insult as a Bon Mot worthy of Shakespeare and delivered with all the charm of Bob Hope and the hilarity of Robin Williams.

Unfortunately, Shakespeare, Bob Hope and Robin Williams are all gone, while Trump is still with us. :(

“We suspect Trump will easily miss this symbolic demonstration, seeing as how his brain is entirely made of cottage cheese.”

Cottage cheese has whaddya call those things, brain wrinkles. His is smooth, more like cheez whiz.

Certainly the same consistency.

Oh, the terms you are looking for are folds (gyri) and grooves (sulci).

Probably the same color as well.

Snopes: "The White House did indeed post and delete a video of Trump at an Easter event recorded on April 1, 2026, as can be seen on archived pages of the White House website. "

M-Snow just showed a clip of acting AG Blanched Turd on Jesse Watters commenting about something about the Epstein files. Gawd, we really are the stupidest fucking nation on earth.

We interrupt your regularly scheduled comments to bring you an important update:

You know all those EOB’s that your insurance company sent you? The ones that you set aside because you think you should look at it later and then you throw it away because you already know what inside of it?

Yeah, those ones. You should know that they sometimes put checks inside of those.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled comments.

The best moment of the WHCD would be seeing the lecherous loon get escorted off stage.

By the Grim Reaper.

I have now become a person who thinks that that idea is hilarious.

If he keeled over on stage with a massive stroke from an exploding aneurysm and the last thing he hears is cheering, that would spark joy.

Imagining a standing ovation, punctuated by a roar of laughter, cheering, maybe something like this?

Almost as certain as yer TCB schmokin’ a ham for Easter is the fact that he will be peeling potatoes and cooking ham and potato soup the next day.

I had a strange moment of clarity yesterday thinking about how one given so much could waste it on vanity and pettiness. Our President could have taken the money his father illegally transferred to him, put it in an S&P index fund, and would be so much more wealthy today than he is. Instead, he chose chaos and vanity. He has chosen the same path for our country, wasting resources on vanity and chaos.

Well, it was clearer to me at the time of my revelation. The sense that something is being unnecessarily squandered.

satch's avatar

He finds chaos and vanity infinitely more amusing. What good is mere money if you can't use it to help you hurt others?

David Maceira's avatar

He could still be pimping underage girls with his BFF Jeff to the billionaire pedo bro-ligarchs. And snorting the best imported cocaine and Adderall available.

Money is the root of all irony.

Because he’s Fredo. He’s smart, and he wants respect. The most pathetic men always do.

satch's avatar

I think that Trump would enjoy a spot of fifhing on Lake Tahoe ...

gallbladder's avatar

Didn't turn out so well for Fredo as I recall.

gallbladder's avatar

He--like Alex Jones--could have also become televangelists and made 10 times their worth.

David Maceira's avatar

Except he turned out to be more like Jim Jones or Marshall Applewhite.
