The courts will strike this down as fast as the birthright citizenship thing. Flagrant violation of the Estate Clause
These aren't laws whatsoever, so they don't even need to strike anything down, just dismiss any attempt at actually doing something like this lol
"To confront such weaponization and religious persecution, today I'm signing an executive order to make our Attorney General, who's a great person — she's going to be a great Attorney General — Pam Bondi the head of a task force, brand new, to eradicate anti-Christian bias," Trump said.
I feel like Trump’s quote here from the article is even worse than the headline suggests.
First is the use of the word eradicate rather than prosecute. It’s a much more dehumanizing tone, as if there a bunch of pests that need to be wiped out.
And second, which is no surprise but is even more worrying, is how much praise he put on Bondi there. That means loyalty to a person rather than to a nation or constitution.
It is funny after years of fighting taliban the US now need to deal with neo-taliban at home.
There’s a reason christofascists are often referred to as “Y’all Queda”.
The takeaway can be Bin Laden won, the terrorists won.
Anyone wanna get together, publicly, and burn a huge pile of Bibles?
Whoawhoawhoa...have I been going to the wrong Communist Socialist Democrat America Hater meetings? We've been burning babies, not bibles. Looks like we goofed.
As long as the babies have been baptized before they’re burned, Y’all Queda should be fine with it cuz you’re just express shipping them to heaven.
Never have I felt the urge to do so, but yes.
Sure, as long as we don't do crosses.
And the less specific he is in talking about things like this, the more this will be blatantly abused
says the fucking antichrist
And this is it. This is the step that makes the US a theocratic dictator.
This is the thing with religion: ANYTHING can be labelled as being against it. Muslims? Anti Christian bias. Atheists? Don't get me started. Gays? Obviously. Scientists? Doh! We do want the results from science, though, like computers, food, clean water, etc, but scientists are evil devil anti Christian.
I want nothing to do with the US anymore
My dude you forgot women. Women are the prime target of all religion. They'll end no fault divorce, end marital rape, institute child marriage and call it all gods fucking plan to procreate. The right to vote will only belong to male heads of family.
Hi Canadians!
Want to join our christofascist state where we jail those that don't believe in sky daddy?
that don't believe in sky daddy the right way?
Didn’t Elon Musk and Michael Flynn just post about how they will stop processing payments to a Lutheran organization?
Let’s start there.
In case anyone wants to see the post. It's not an organization that only liberal Lutherans supported either. LCMS (the larger conservative branch) supported this organization for years, too.
I went to an LCMS church as a kid, it felt like one step down from Catholicism.
For those who don’t know, there are two main branches of the Lutheran Church in the US.
Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (known as LCMS)
Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (known as ELCA)
More Liberal views
Doesn’t believe scripture is 100% accurate , especially when it comes to history and science
Does allow for same sex marriage
Allows women and LGBT+ to be ordained
Does not fully endorse creationism
Contemporary Worship
Also, I believe Tim Walz is a member of an ELCA church.
Those weren't Real Christians. They were followers of some fringe leftist ideology from the Middle East.
The Lutheran church isn’t Christian? Bro, wut.
So we can still be anti christianity as long as our opinions are based on facts?
They have no idea what "bias" actually means, they just intend to weaponize it to be whatever they want. Like they do with every other word.
