Does anyone in their right mind think Jesus would approve of this "Easter message" ?

To all the people on Newstalkers , although I think them fairly small in number, who continue to "both sides" the issue of Trumps fitness to lead this great country, just stop, for gods sake just stop.  If you dont want to be resistance that is your choice, but stop trying to normalize this piece of scum.

I didn't get the sense of wonder or a "He is Risen" vibe from whatever that was.

~77 million voters thought Trump was the better choice, or a better side to elect.  The people had given up on the failures of radical left progressivism and the horrifying possibility of a Harris and Walz regime and decided to cast their lot with the Republicans. Their collective wisdom has turned out to be the best choice for the future of the USA

Cult: noun

1 :  a religion regarded as unorthodox or spurious (see  spurious   sense 2 )
also   :   its body of adherents ( the voodoo  cult) ( a satanic  cult)
2
a :  great devotion to a person , idea, object, movement, or work (such as a film or book)
criticizing how the media promotes the   cult   of celebrity especially :   such devotion regarded as a literary or intellectual fad
b :  the object of such devotion
c :  a usually small group of people characterized by such devotion
(the singer's   cult   of fans) ( The film has a   cult   following).
Just because a variation of cult can mean a small group of people, that doesn't erase the prior broader definition. There is, without a doubt, a cult of Trump. The Mango Mussolini took the reins of the bitter bigoted Tea Party angry at progressives for electing a black President and created the MAGAverse in which the MAGAites reside insulated from reality. I suppose if the MAGAverse were able to swallow up the majority of America, it would become the new reality which clearly what they're hoping for. Thankfully, that's never going to happen since the pendulum has been shoved way too far to the right and it will come swinging back with a vengeance within the next two years.

Why should we want those who assault women and other convicted criminals? We have too many of them already! The MAGAverse is chock full of them and is actually led by one!

Personally, I would much rather have dinner with an undocumented immigrant family than a Trump worshiping Putin appeasing MAGAite family. Sure, the undocumented immigrant family committed a misdemeanor, but they're not kneeling before and empowering a convicted felon and accused rapist. It's also funny how rightwing conservatives get so bent out of shape over the roughly 3% of undocumented immigrants that have gang ties but never seem to mention the 97% that have no ties. It's pretty clear that in many racist MAGA minds they're all the same because they share a skin color and foreign language that the MAGAites can't understand.

If you had cast your lot with those who held true to the long-standing principles of the Republican party you would be praising people like Liz Cheney, Mitt Romney, George Will, Michael Steele, etc.    Supporting Trump and his sycophants like Hegseth, Patel, Johnson, MTG, Noem, etc. abandons the historical Republican party and embraces the Trump cult.

I bore the brunt of casting my lot with LIz Cheney for putting principles and integrity above party politics notwithstanding it opposed the wishes of her colleagues and electorate causing the expected result of her being ostracized.  I wonder if those who did that to her might have second thoughts now.

Trump’s Easter message fails to mention Jesus, the cross, the resurrection, forgiveness, peace, joy, or any other Easter message. Instead, he attacked his political opponents, migrants, judges, law enforcement, and rambled about himself and his grievances.

Several MAGA accounts are falsely claiming a 2023 pride celebration photo was how Biden decorated the White House for Easter last year.

This is how the White House was decorated for Easter in 2024.

What has that to do with what I posted?  I'm comparing apples to apples, his easter message.

Did you condemn Biden for using his easter message to promote transgenderism?

By the way, Trump's message is not, by any stretch, evil.

How anyone can be happy with such an unpresidential, incompetent asshole as the face, voice, and hand (look at the global economy in less than 100 days for starters) of our nation is quite the enigma.

The one thing I thought Trump might do well is negotiate a peace for Ukraine.   Look at what this incompetent boob has accomplished.   He brags that Putin would never start the war if he were PotUS yet now that he is PotUS he cannot even get Putin to the table for a peace negotiation.   Worse, he claims that Ukraine started the war, that Zelensky is a dictator with a 4% approval rating, publicly attacks Zelensky in the Oval office claiming that Ukraine has effectively lost the war, etc.   Then he pulls out US support for Ukraine as a bonus.   And this is how the 'art of the deal' operates?   Instead of balancing the playing field to enable an actual negotiation, this idiot gave Putin strong propaganda that he can broadcast on state radio where the president of the USA blames Ukraine and indicates that Russia is the likely victor.

Now he has Rubio essentially telling the world that the USA is washing our hands of this war.   That the USA has failed in negotiating anything good in this war.   Great job 'master negotiator'!

So, again, how anyone can be happy with such an unpresidential, incompetent asshole as the face, voice, and hand of our nation is quite the enigma.

Remember - to be a Christian all you have to do is claim Jesus as your lord and savior.  Unless Trump denies this he is every bit as Christian as the next one.  Considering that prisons are filled with Christians, Christianity doesn’t get to deny them or any other criminal with a cross hanging around or tattooed on their neck.

Gain some perspective and stop posting support and defense for Trump.   If your comments were predominantly critical of Trump (which would be rational based on the facts), your sarcasm (if it was) would be seen as such.

Keep defending Trump and you can sure that people will NOT find a pro-Trump comment from you to be 'sarcasm'.

With MAGAites there is no logic, only brand loyalty and groveling obeisance. To his sycophants, it doesn't matter what Trump does or says as long as it "owns the libs" and doesn't affect that individual MAGAites life personally. They also don't really give a fuck about easter or Jesus, their savior has now been replaced by a demagogue who tickles their bitter bigoted ears.
