Prayer Breakfast From Hell: Trump Rants And Spews Heresies During ‘Christian’ Speech

The color of his face reminiscent of a jack-o’-lantern, Rapist-in-Chief Donald Trump ranted and raged at this morning’s National Prayer Breakfast, spouting outright heresies and speculating he might want to be reelected for a third term in office even though the U.S. Constitution forbids it.

Trump announced the formation of a task force to “eradicate anti-Christian bias,” which is ridiculous because the majority religion in the United States just so happens to be Christianity.

“While I’m in the White House, we will protect Christians in our schools, in our military, in our government, in our workplaces, hospitals and in our public squares,” he said. “And we will bring our country back together as one nation under God.”

As for that third term, Trump proclaimed, “I want to be here with you, and I have to be here with you, and I do that despite the fact that they say I can’t run again.”

The Heretic-in-Chief also claimed that the assassination attempt on his life last year in Butler, Pennsylvania, “changed something in me.”

“I feel even stronger,” he added. “I believed in God, but I feel, I feel much more strongly about it. Something happened.”

While he was at it, Trump also said he didn’t want some people praying for him.

“I don’t like people who use their faith as justification for doing what they know is wrong. Nor do I like people who say, ‘I pray for you,’ when they know that that’s not so.”

Keep in mind this is the very same Donald Trump who proudly proclaimed in 2015 that he had never asked for forgiveness from God.

“I am not sure I have. I just go on and try to do a better job from there. I don’t think so,” he said. “I think if I do something wrong, I think, I just try and make it right. I don’t bring God into that picture. I don’t.”

Trump said that while he hasn’t asked God for forgiveness, he does participate in Holy Communion.

“When I drink my little wine – which is about the only wine I drink – and have my little cracker, I guess that is a form of asking for forgiveness, and I do that as often as possible because I feel cleansed,” he said. “I think in terms of ‘let’s go on and let’s make it right.’”

Trump’s remarks at the prayer breakfast didn’t sit well with many.

The best estimates we have for the 1770s and 80s put church membership rates in Revolutionary America at about 17%. In the election of 1800, the main criticism of and most widespread fear about Jefferson was that he didn’t believe in God.

If we’re lucky, hell will soon swallow up the Orange Pustule and hold him in purgatory for a few thousand years.

Evangelical Republican Whines: Trump Has Tossed Us ‘Under The Bus’ For Elon Musk

Now that he has Twitter/Tesla CEO Elon Musk as his sugar daddy, Donald Trump is turning his back on many of the core voting blocs that helped him get elected in both 2016 and 2024.

For example, evangelical Christians aren’t exactly happy that Trump has embraced Musk and other controversial figures according to David Siders of Politico, who has been traveling the United States since the November election and talking to Americans about what they expect during the next four years.

One of the people Siders sat down with was Republican Party leader Timothy Bachleitner of Wisconsin.

“He’s gained so much support from different groups of people he no longer needs the conservative Christians to do what he needs to do, so they’ve been thrown under the bus,” he worried.

Consider some of the people Trump is now making part of his inner circle, Bachleitner added.

“He’s got the RFK, and he’s got the Tulsi Gabbard and Elon Musk and Joe Rogan — and that whole kind of independent individual has become full steam to allow him to say I no longer need to cater to a big part of my base, and I happen to be in that portion. So that breaks my heart.”

Many evangelicals have also expressed disappointment with Trump’s refusal to back a national abortion ban, which he said he would not seek in a second term, suggesting such matters should be left to the states.

Trump has also reversed his position on H1-B work visas, which he once said needed to be restricted.

The work visa issue has come back to the forefront of discussion after Musk called for an increase in the number of work visas for foreign engineers, a move that would greatly benefit high-tech companies such as Twitter, Facebook, and other internet startups.

Shortly after Musk made his statements on the H1-B issue, Trump said he agreed, telling reporters, “I have many H-1B visas on my properties. I’ve been a believer in H-1B. I have used it many times. It’s a great program.”

Guess the evangelicals need to pray that Musk will board one of his rockets and get lost somewhere in outer space. That’s about the only way they’ll ever have any influence in the GOP as long as Trump (and Musk) are leading the Republican Party.

Trump Is Charging Supporters $100K To Attend A Church Service With Him

Just 24 hours before he’s to be inaugurated as the 47th president of the United States, known grifter and serial sexual predator Donald Trump will attend a church service in Washington, DC.

However, if you think Trump will be attending church because of some newfound spirituality, think again, because he’s charging his supporters $100,000 for the honor of being in his presence while God looks down and likely frowns.

According to Religion News Service, “But those who want to join need to weigh the price of prayer: Tickets to the service will be awarded only to those who donate at least $100,000 to Trump’s inaugural ceremonies, or who raise $200,000.”

“Earlier this month, Axios cited a seven-page prospectus that listed the service alongside several other donor-only events, such as a ‘cabinet reception’ with Trump’s nominees and ‘candlelight dinner’ with Trump and Melania.

In other words, it seems Donnie is now a high priest in the Church of Grift.

The location for the church event had originally been planned at St. Joseph’s, a historic Catholic Church on Capitol Hill, but the priest at St. Joseph’s, Rev. William H. Gurnee, made it clear he hadn’t granted permission.

“While I was asked to host the event, I informed the organizer that I needed more information and it was mistakenly reported that final permission was granted,” Gurnee noted in an email.

Gurnee added, “It is my feeling that this event would be better hosted at another location.”

This isn’t the first time Trump has pretended to be a spiritual person.

At Trump’s 2017 inauguration, Donald attended a service at St. John’s Episcopal Church, the same location where he sent law enforcement to forcibly remove Black Lives Matter protesters.

The Church of Trump has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it? Their motto can be, Let us fleece.

Right-Wingers Pitch A Hissy Fit Over ‘Satanic’ Opening Ceremony At Olympics

Right-wingers and conservative Christians say they were deeply offended by Friday evening’s opening ceremony at the 2024 Olympics, which they claim was an insult to their religious beliefs.

According to The Daily Mail, a so-called drag parody of the Biblical Last Supper drew the dire of many on the right.

But others were less impressed, accusing organisers of creating a ‘woke’ parody of the Last Supper – a painting by Leonardo da Vinci depicting Jesus’ last meal with his disciples.

Tesla and SpaceX owner Elon Musk, who has come under criticism for his conservative beliefs, including towards his own daughter, wrote on X – formerly Twitter – claimed the performance was ‘extremely disrespectful to Christians’.

He added: ‘Christianity has become toothless.’

Others then began piling on, accusing the Olympic Organizing Committee of being part of a Satanic conspiracy trying to destroy Christianity.

Here’s some free advice for the right-wing morons who are offended by what they saw Friday evening: Turn the channel and shut the hell up!

Jon Stewart Has The Perfect Clapback To Margie Greene’s Latest ‘Godly’ Conspiracy Theories

“Daily Show” host Jon Stewart offered a much-needed antidote to the conspiracy theories being regurgitated by right-wing media outlets and congressional Republicans regarding the solar eclipse that took place Monday across the United States.

Stewart began by tackling the fearmongering that took place on Fox News in connection to the eclipse, where hosts ominously suggested that the four minutes of darkness across Texas could cause havoc at the U.S.-Mexico border, with Fox’s Bill Hemmer saying the eclipse would provide “a real opportunity for smugglers and cartels and migrants to come right in.”

Stewart countered, “Or they could just wait ’til nighttime.”

“Is there nothing Fox can’t tie to immigration?” he added, wryly mocking: “This here cicada infestation provides perfect cover for Venezuelans.”

And then Stewart turned to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who had been spreading wild scenarios on social media that the eclipse and last week’s earthquake in New Jersey were “signs” that God wanted the nation to “repent.”

“How do you know? How would you know that that is what God meant,” Stewart asked. “Why would God be so obtuse? Why would he do that? Or she? Why would she? Or how crazy would it be if God insisted on they/them?”

Stewart had another question for loose cannons like Greene who love to try and tell us what God expects from us.

“Is this shit really how God works?”
