    Klondyke is spreading his droppings over various threads today. Does not have a clue how forums work. Or perhaps he does and is just pushing some inane agenda..

    Unless they’ve released a picture book version, I seriously doubt it.

    OH, my fan club again outraged, sorry for that joke (some accuse me that I do not understand jokes, or that my joke is bad, goes under their skin...).

    I too haven't read the bible. And I do not know why a president should read a bible.

    However, it seems that in the world's best democracy any POTUS cannot be a POTUS without a bible and a Church. So, whatever he thinks or believes, he has to appear in Church every Sunday. That's the part of the OP's of every POTUS. And always in the correct Church, out of the thousands "recognized" churches...

    That's the lip service to that society...

    Yeah nah.

    You really expected people to extrapolate the latter from the former.

    Actually he was asked what his favourite bible quote was, and because he doesn't fucking know any, it went along the lines of:

    "I like all of them. Oh look, a squirrel, I'm going to build a wall, etc. etc."

    Added: Normally he would go off on a "You're fake news, you know that" rant which seems to be his modus operandus these days when he's put on the spot, but it was a Faux News interview.

    Still so much to go to approach your over-intelligible posts, (I do not dare to write: "your bollocks"...) But I am slow learner...

    The absolute best thing that could happen a few months before the election would be baldy orange cunto killing a load of his own dumb supporters.

    President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he will seek another state to host the Republican National Convention because North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, a Democrat, had refused to guarantee that coronavirus restrictions wouldn't affect the party's nominating convention.

    "Governor Cooper is still in Shelter-in-Place Mode, and not allowing us to occupy the arena as originally anticipated and promised," he wrote in a string of tweets. "We are now forced to seek another state to host the 2020 Republican National Convention."
    Trump says he'''s yanking RNC from North Carolina over potential coronavirus restrictions

    “This is an awful man, waving a book he hasn’t read, in front of a church he doesn’t attend, invoking laws he doesn’t understand, against fellow Americans he sees as enemies, wielding a military he dodged serving, to protect power he gained via accepting foreign interference, exploiting fear and anger he loves to stoke, after failing to address a pandemic he was warned about, and building it all on a bed of constant lies and childish inanity.”


    -- Robert Hendrickson, Rector at St. Philip’s Episcopal Church in Tucson, Arizona.
    Nuts that some so-called Christians voted for him really. Nuttier still that many still will.

    I for one am quite amazed that he just keeps uping the ante each time. Using the national guard to tear gas peaceful protesters out of his way so he could go for this abomination of a photo shoot. Simply unbelievable.

    Fox are on fine form this morning.

    Squealing for the national guard to wade in everywhere.

    And then saying that if the NC governor sticks to his guns on Covid prevention measures it will be a "stain on his state". (That dumb fat fuck Huckabee of course).

    Trumptards eh, whaddaya gonna do

    No one accuses Donald Trump of subtlety. When the US president raised a Bible overhead on Monday evening outside St John’s Episcopal church in Washington DC, the sign was unmistakable: an appeal to his evangelical base for loyalty, as protests and riots roared across America.

    Not every Christian answered the call. The Rev Gini Gerbasi, an Episcopal priest, said police used teargas to drive her and others from St John’s before Trump’s appearance. “They turned holy ground into a battleground,” she told Religion News Service.


    But many of Trump’s evangelical supporters, far from Washingtons political stage, saw the move as a victory in a world rife with evil.


    “My whole family was flabbergasted,” said Benjamin Horbowy, 37.


    The Horbowys had gathered in Tallahassee, Florida, to watch live as Trump walked from the White House to St John’s. “My mother just shouted out, ‘God give him strength! He’s doing a Jericho walk!’”


    A Jericho walk, in some evangelical circles, refers to the biblical book of Joshua, where God commanded the Israelites to walk seven times around the opposing city of Jericho, whose walls then came crashing down.


    Horbowy already supported Trump politically – he heads the local chapter of a pro- Trump motorcycle club and is campaigning for a seat in Florida’s state senate – but when Trump lifted the Bible, Horbowy and his family felt overcome spiritually.


    “My mother started crying. She comes from Pentecostal background, and she started speaking in tongues. I haven’t heard her speak in tongues in years,” he said. “I thought, look at my president! He’s establishing the Lord’s kingdom in the world.”


    Did he feel that conflicted with the Gospel of John, where Jesus said “my kingdom is not of this world”?


    “Well,” Horbowy said, “that’s a philosophical question.”


    After watching Trump’s gesture, Horbowy changed his Facebook profile photo to one of Trump outside St John’s, with added rays of light emanating from the Bible. “It was the coolest thing he could do. What more could he do, wear blue jeans and ride in on a horse?” he said.


    The catalysts for the protests was the killing of 46-year-old George Floyd by Minneapolis police. Asked about that, Horbowy said, “There’s a Bible verse that says we shouldn’t talk about evil things. We can just say, ‘There’s evil’ and move on.”
