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?”

Trump Supporter Says It’s OK Trump Cheated On His Wives: ‘Even Jesus Dated A Hooker’

If you thought you’d heard all of the absurd excuses and rationalizations Trump supporters can make for the bad behavior of their political lord and savior, you may want to go ahead and grab ahold of your socks, because what you’re about to read could well blow them right off your feet.

BoingBoing notes that Davram Stiefler of the Good Liars interviewed a MAGA member who was easily identified by the T-shirt he was wearing. The shirt depicted “Trump as the Terminator with the ‘I’ll be back’ catchphrase.”

But that’s nowhere near the most bizarre thing that took place during said interview, because the Trump fan suggested the Donald’s many affairs are simply irrelevant if you study the Bible and see who Jesus “dated.”

MAGA man: If you look at the history of Jesus, it was hundreds of years later before he was recognized, and that’s probably the same thing that’s going to happen to Donald Trump.

Stiefler: When you see him, the presence that he has in the room, the way he kind of commands the crowd and the way that he’s…

MAGA man: I think that he’s been picked by God, yes.

Stiefler: He wears lifts on his shoes, he wears a lot of make up. He wears a girdle to hold in his belly. Is that something God would do?

MAGA man: First off, if you knew anything about the apostles, they were pretty much all trash. They all had their bad qualities, and even Jesus was dating a hooker.

Actually, Jesus was not dating a hooker. The MAGA man seems to be referencing Mary Magdalene, who may have been a prostitute and was a follower of Christ. But nowhere in the Bible does it say that Jesus and Mary Magdalene were dating or involved in any manner whatsoever.

Of course, it shouldn’t surprise anyone that a Trump supporter doesn’t know what the Bible says. After all, most of them are fake Christians who proclaim their faith but don’t know the first thing about what’s actually in the Bible. If they did, they damn sure wouldn’t be so bigoted towards people of color, immigrants, and women.

The MAGA man in the video got plenty of reaction on Twitter.

Must-See Video: Trump Tries To Say The Lord’s Prayer And Fails Miserably

While he repeatedly claims to be a defender of the Christian faith in the United States, failed one-term former president Donald Trump also fails to prove that he understands even of the most basic tenets of Christianity.

Remember when he was asked in 2015 to name his favorite Bible verse, Trump was unable to, saying there were “so many” and he couldn’t choose just one.

Just last week, Trump began hawking a “God Bless the USA Bible.” Did he do it out of the goodness of his heart? No. Instead, he made sure that he receives some of the profits from each $59.95 copy sold, a dead giveaway that he doesn’t understand what Jesus meant when he said you cannot serve God and mammon.

And now we have video proof that Donald doesn’t know the words to one of the most basic portions of the Christian prayer liturgy, the Lord’s Prayer, which most 5th graders can easily recite.

“Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, As it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, The power, and the glory, For ever and ever. Amen.”

A video of Trump shot over the Easter weekend provides evidence that he has no clue what the words are in the Lord’s Prayer, and the clip soon went viral on social media. Take a look:

Trump’s MAGA supporters would likely tell you their hero was just having a bad day, or couldn’t hear the prayer and was therefore unable to follow along.

But it turns out this isn’t the first time Donnie has flubbed the prayer, as Ron Filipkowski noted on Twitter.

Social media didn’t hold back after seeing the videos of the prayer-challenged, one-term ex-president.

Top Evangelical Leader Trolls ‘Chump’ Trump With ‘Golden Showers’ Taunt

A top evangelical leader in the state of Iowa is firing back at failed one-term, twice-impeached and multiply-indicted former president Donald Trump, even going so far as to reference rumors that the ex-president engaged in a deviant sex act with prostitutes.

Evangelical Bob Vander Plaats endorsed Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis last week, which immediately drew Trump’s ire, HuffPost notes.

Trump, the 2024 Republican front-runner, fired off a furious message on his Truth Social platform. He called Family Leader CEO Vander Plaats a “former high school accountant” who was “more known for scamming Candidates than he is for Victory.” Trump also claimed a $95,000 donation to Vander Plaats’ nonprofit from the DeSantis campaign was to buy his endorsement, an allegation that Vander Plaats has denied.

Vander Plaats was only too happy to respond to Trump, and he brought out the nuclear weapon of allegations that have been made against the former president, leveling him on Twitter.

Will evangelicals continue to support Trump as he seeks a second term in the White House? Recent polls show they aren’t as enthusiastic about Donald as they once were, CBS News reported in September.

George Conway Trolls The MAGA Faithful With His Trumpian 10 Commandments

Now that we have a new speaker of the House who is fully committed to the Big Lie that the 2020 election was stolen from multiply-indicted former president Donald Trump yet professes to be a Christian, it seems only fair that someone make it crystal clear exactly what the Trump faithful have actually signed up for.

Why? Because the Trump acolytes need to be mocked, shamed, and trolled for pledging their undying loyalty to the most immoral man to ever hold public office in this country.

That’s why attorney George Conway’s new Trumpian Ten Commandments is so timely, as he explained on Twitter.

Conway begins with this instruction on how best to get the message to the MAGA lunatics who have been elected to Congress:

“To be posted in all Members’ offices per order of the Speaker:”

And then we get the new commandments, which also need to be shared far and wide on every social media platform, including Truth Social for anyone who has an account there and wants to make sure the Donald sees them.

1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me, except thou shalt followeth thy Orange Jesus over any moral cliff.

2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, unless thou shalt have purchaseth it on http://DonaldJTrump.com.

3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain, except when thou shalt attacketh Brandon or thy RINOs.

4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy, unless thou attendeth a musical production in Denver.

5. Honour thy father and thy mother, and burieth thy mother on thy father’s golf course.

6. Thou shalt not kill, but thou shalt shooteth looters on sight, and puteth alligators in thy moat to keepeth out the Mexicans.

7. Thou shalt not commit adultery, but if thou shalt do so with thy porn star, thou shalt payeth her off through an intermediary and falsifieth thy accounting records.

8. Thou shalt not steal, unless thou needeth to steeleth one moreth than a certain number of popular votes or unless thou can hideth thy stollen documents at thy bathroom in thy resort.

9. Thou shalt not bear false witness. LOL.

10. Thou shalt not covet (but seeth nos. 2, 4, 7, and 8 aboveth).

 


Yep. That pretty much covers it, although a true MAGA hypocrite probably needs an accompanying photo of the entire Trump family so that he or she can also pay tribute to the spawn of Donnie.
