In another Pyongyang on the Potomac moment, Republicans at a party fundraiser this week awarded Donald Trump the first annual “America First Award”. House Speaker Mike Johnson described the prize as a “beautiful golden statue … appropriate for the new golden era in America.” Even in the midst of an unpopular war, there’s a cult-like feel to Trumpworld.

    Johnson is just another fawning, hypocritical American “christian” (evangelist) zealot. I wouldn’t be surprised if one of his “stations of the cross” was a statue of Trump dressed in holy robes. Johnson reportedly said: “Go pick up a Bible off your shelf and read it – that’s my worldview”. As the Who famously said in Pinball Wizard: ‘Go to the mirror boy.’ If Johnson was to read the Bible himself he’d find – among bloodthirsty exhortations to kill disobedient kids etc – the Ten Commandments. Then, if he looked at the second Commandment, and the sixth, the eight, the ninth and the tenth for that matter, he’d see that the Trump administration and its Reblican supporters in Congress are guilty of all these, as well as supporting worship of obscene wealth, genocide, racism and hatred of others. I’m far from a Biblical scholar but I don’t recall these being on christian bucket lists.

    As fellow Blot commentator Mark (I think) said on a previous post: ‘by their deeds you will know them’.
    Matthew 7:15-20
    You Will Know Them by Their Fruits
    15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits.

      For so many American christians, all that Jesus stuff went out the window decades ago.

        Riddle: What do you call cherry-picking christians?
        Answer: “Prosperity” evangelists, or more generally, Republicans.

          Jon,
          The thing that frightens me about these religious nutters is that they welcome ‘armageddon’, nuclear or not, as the gullible muppets believe that iyt will herald the return of JC. They are absolutely f****** mental.
