Trump might be aware of Jesus through pure osmosis but beyond that it can’t be overstated how little he cares. Just flat does not give a single shit about Christianity and is unable to hide it at all.
They never bust out that red alert emoji when Trump says he doesn’t read the Bible, cannot name a Bible verse, admits to never asking God for forgiveness or talks about how being asked to pray is annoying.
this is also true of basically any figure from ancient history who wasn't royalty. And even in a lot of cases, royalty!
ya gotta read this i'm tellin ya
imo the best historians are the ones who put the sentence "My argument is..." in the first 5 pages of the intro and then restate it clearly in the conclusion.
the contrast between the pure joy in his face and insane evil of his response two seconds later keeps this gif in the top tier for me
One of my favorite parts of the lore of this GIF is that right after it in the debate Ron Paul talked about how we should not let poor people with no insurance use emergency rooms and just let their families or churches take care of them
Ultimately it would just be Capital, sort of like it is now!
Anthony Bradley @drantbradley Serious question: If Christian Nationalists gained political power, whose theology would determine public policy? Catholics? Baptists? Reformed? Pentecostals? With radically different doctrines & political theologies, what keeps Christians from simply getting policy wrong?

Jumping between bass and banjo
“Because we can’t explain how human consciousness works, that means computer programs are conscious” solid reasoning
“Well, it seems that the problem with capitalism is that eventually you may need a socialist to come in, correct previous under-budgeting, account for current service levels as well as expected growth," Mamdani continued, in reference to Eric Adams' deceptive bookkeeping.

Remembering back to my good ol' college days when....a Republican president was going to war in the Middle East and wrecking the economy
The Hornets lately
How do you deal with a state like the current US? So much power but absolutely no coherent goals beyond mindless destruction. Impossible to plan for in a consistent way.
it’s so bizarre that one possible (and imo very likely) outcome of the war in Iran is the US basically declaring victory in a few weeks and leaving the state and regime damaged but still very much in place.
Idk how you all do it while not believing in the ultimate judgement and justice of God tbh
Not the first thing I’d go with to criticize Platner but to each their own
Wait until they hear about pretty much everyone currently serving in the US Senate and House of Representatives
This map is actually a good visualization of how the “Middle East” is seen in America as a broad zone where any kind of violence and destruction on our part is acceptable.
Love checking the poll numbers on “Should we bomb X country that I can’t even point to on a map?”
10/10 CNN, no notes
The whole Graham Platner thing has the vibe where another story is eventually going to drop that makes people who defended him earlier look silly. Idk if that's definitely going to happen but no one should be surprised if it does.
I'd be more inclined to believe that Graham Platner is merely a dumbass if he was making different kinds of "mistakes" instead of one very specific type of "mistake" over and over
Remember there was an international deal in place where Iran had already negotiated and agreed not to develop nuclear weapons. This was literally a thing! Trump ripped it up for no reason!
You would need the most draconian censorship administration in world history to get people to watch Kevin Sorbo act in "God's Not Dead 13: Still God, Still Not Dead"
Seems like they can’t even understand the fact that they’re irrelevant in popular culture. They still think they’re at the center. For example, acting like Bad Bunny was a weird pick for the Super Bowl when he’s one of the most popular artists in the world.
