You would think a Pastor would have a serious problem with that. Only in Trumps America.

Nonsense. American religion has been this fucked up for decades. Every time I hear about some horrible act of depravity, I get less surprised when I find out it was perpetrated by a pastor, not more.

saying no to Donald Trump is the same thing as saying no to the Christian god.

The right thing to do, because each has a documented history of being an utterly despicable despotic cunt?

An awful lot of groups seem to be competing for this honour at the moment.

It wasn't US propaganda though. At most it was Austrian propaganda.

Oh interesting. I just assumed that an explicitly anti-communist message would be American.

I remember the anti-communist images of soot ridden grey towns next to steel works in some school book.

I know the US is big on propaganda, but it's little reminders like this that blow me away.

It's literally called the "department of corrections"

And they literally manage "United States penitentiaries", so it's probably not worth playing the semantics game.

Put it another way - is Trump really redeemable at his age? If not, what should happen to him after this is all over? I think that denying him his freedom, with or without an attempt to rehabilitate him, would be a reasonable punishment. I think he deserves worse, I just don't trust anyone to judge and administer that properly.

Executing Donyy Shitpants tonight wouldn’t undo all of the damage his administration has done.

I mean I'm 99.999% sure you're right, but let's give it a try anyway?

In what sense are they supposed to be rehabilitation centres? Prisons have always been places of punishment, and places where we can remove people we don't believe are safe in society. Rehabilitation is one of their aims, and it would be nice if it were the main one, but I don't think that is functionally true almost anywhere in the world.

I also love self depreciating humour!

It's not as good as it used to be.

It's quite specific as to what is covered, he'd probably get out on a technicality.

No, the original came from a man named Nick Adams, who posted it in February, and who posts this kind of shite all the time. Although he seems to have got rid of it from his Xitter page in the wake of this.

Like I said, not widely accepted. This was a Channel 5 morning show.
