Maybe Trump could get there if he didn't murder people in cold blood like Obama murdered American citizen Anwar al-Awlaki

 Trump asks supporters for $15 donations to 'get him to heaven'...

 

Trump's Commerce Secretary Howie Lutnick says you are among the best only if you are rich

 

 

Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver have rusted, and their rust will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure for the last days. Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. You have lived on the earth in luxury and in pleasure; you have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. You have condemned, you have killed the righteous man; he does not resist you.

 -- James 5:1ff.

Donald Trump is the decay of a whole age teeming with zeroes

 

 He that plots to be the only figure among cyphers, is the decay of a whole age. 

 

-- Francis Bacon 

The tyrant is the real slave, possessed of desires which he is utterly unable to satisfy, and of more wants than any one

But he does know how to stay in the news.

Trending #1 at CNBC Saturday night.

If Trump had any real power, US Treasury Bills wouldn't be yielding more as he posted this than they have in nine weeks.

 

 

Ordinarily you would want a saint who can intercede to get you out of an economic collapse, not get you into one lol

Actors are rarely known for their intelligence. And as we are all very painfully aware, Donald Trump is an actor, too.

 

OMG Trump-Vance supporter Rod Dreher is worried that Mexico is re-paganizing

 

Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking some one to devour, you know, like Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal

Be sober, be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking some one to devour.

And after the shot, Satan entered into him

And after the sop Satan entered into him. ...

Trump betrays Ukraine, the breadbasket of Europe

 Thou hast slain

The flower of Europe for his chivalry,

And treacherously hast thou vanquish'd him.

 

-- William Shakespeare, Henry VI Part 3, Act 2, Scene 1

Trump imagines a rebuilt Gaza, complete with a hotel, a golden idol of himself to worship, copies of which you can buy and take home with you, and of course drag queen entertainment on the beach, among other amenities

 

Behold your king, pompous, and acting like an ass

 

Resist the devil and he will lose in the midterms

 

Woke Episcopal bishop pleads with Trump on Tuesday to be merciful to transgenders after he on Monday proclaims liberty to the Jan 6th captives instead

 

                                                                      No! Not like that you namby-pamby!

 

Trump and Vance ambushed by bishop pleading for ‘mercy’ on trans children: President attacked in sermon at inauguration service for making trans people 'scared'

 "F--k it: Release 'em all": Why Trump embraced broad Jan. 6 pardons

Trump orders reflect his promises to roll back transgender protections and end DEI programs

 

The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me to bring good tidings to the afflicted; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn;

-- Isaiah 61:1f. 

I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.

Rod Dreher, who advocates for loopy stuff like monks levitating, says Donald Trump will deal with Hungary like an adult lol

 Yeah, Trump will get around to Hungary right after Trump's done taking Greenland, Canada, and the Panama Canal.

The great thing about America's most important Christian thinker in our time is that he fits right in with all the other insane people in our time who don't have a firm grasp of reality.

 

 

Ashley is quintessential LCMS lol

 

 

Donald Trump is again taught the meaning of Homo proponit sed Deus disponit but it obviously won't do him any good

 

 Man proposes but God disposes.

The locution belongs to Thomas von Kempen (1380-1471), Imitation of Christ 1.19. It is the template for the American adage that "the president proposes but the Congress disposes".

In America the power of the purse rests in the people's representatives in the House and Senate assembled. It does not rest in the hands of one man.

Donald Trump has once again been taught this lesson about who's boss around here, and that the president can't always get what he wants.

On Thursday he suddenly sprang the wish for an elimination of the US national debt ceiling entirely, which is what Democrats have long wanted. He then hedged for at least an extension of the time limit for a decision about it through Jan 30, 2027 after the primaries, but he didn't get that either, let alone an extension into 2029 after he's out of the picture. Congress taught him similar lessons multiple times during his first presidency, but he obviously learned nothing.

The compromise passed by the House and the Senate overnight funds the government through March 14, 2025, and forces Trump to deal with the debt ceiling in 2025. He promised to primary any Republican in 2026 who voted for that.

He's going to be very busy!

He'll have to primary 170 Republicans in the US House lol, which I'm sure will smooth the way to getting passed what he wants passed there the next two years lol.

Trump's threats aren't just rash. They are idle, and self-defeating to boot, displaying nothing so much as his impotence.

Democrats who said they feared another Hitler were just lying to their fool followers, or were the fools themselves.

This is the absolute state of conservatism today under Donald Trump, who has nominated this man to run The Department of Defense

 

Exit polling indicates that Catholics turned out decisively for Donald Trump

 

An NBC News exit poll shows that Catholics preferred Trump-Vance over Harris-Walz by a whopping 58%-40% (with Catholics representing 22% of all voters). Among white Catholics, the margin was 61%-35%. The Washington Post exit poll shows a 56%-41% margin.

The state-by-state margins in pivotal swing states are likewise extraordinary. 

According to data collected and posted by the organization Catholic Vote, Catholics in Michigan voted Trump-Vance over Harris-Walz by an astounding 20%. In Pennsylvania, Catholics were likewise decisive for Trump, by 14%. In Wisconsin, it was 16%. In North Carolina, 17%. In Florida, the margin was astounding: 29%. 

More.

 

A prophet without honor in his own country

The New York Times religion columnist Ross Douthat accurately predicted the outcome of the 2024 US presidential election. 

The commenters on election day, for the most part, weren't having it, notably the ones who thought it was invalid simply because it hadn't changed over time even though the Democrat candidate did.

Some people just don't get it that the more things change, the more they stay the same.
