Alright, who’s ready to see #Trump get his just deserts? He fucked up the whole damn world & that’s not an overstatement.
PS #BabySquirrel & I had a lovely weekend. It’s as boy! (He’s developed discernible - stuff)
He is doing quite well! Name: “Ramone” because he’s a sweet little punk rocker.
#Trump’s #criminal trial for falsifying business records during the 2016 presidential campaign to hide an extramarital affair that occurred while his 4th(?) wife was pregnant from his majority #evangelical#Christian#electorate; to that end he arranged an illegal & financially fraudulent #HushMoney pay-off to the adult-film actress #StormyDaniels.
Once the prosecutor & Trump’s #legal team have outlined their cases to the jury, the 1st witnesses will be called.
Russia's war on evangelical Christians, stunning reporting from Peter Pomerantsev
"By hurting those who practice an “American” religion," he writes, "the Kremlin can claim it is striking against American power—while picking on the powerless."
It’s important to give this situation more attention. #Russia is systematically terrorizing, persecuting, torturing, and murdering any cleric, congregation, or individual who belongs to a #Christian church not under the Moscow Patriarchate.
In 2006, …Donald #Trump met the adult-film star #StormyDaniels. According to Daniels, things got intimate. (“The sex was nothing crazy,” she would go on to say.) A decade later, Trump was running for President, as a kind of #Republican uber-family man, drawing crucial support from #conservative, #evangelical voters. Daniels decided to go public: her encounter w/ Trump had taken place while he was already married to his third wife, Melania.
Gay marriage ruling: “There were reasonable concerns, following the 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling that legalized same-sex marriage, that churches and religious nonprofits might be punished for acting in accordance with their traditional beliefs. But no such punishment ever materialized. In fact, according to David French, a conservative Christian attorney who spent decades arguing religious liberty cases in front of federal courts,
“the record for religious freedom since Obergefell is extraordinary.” The judicial branch, French wrote in The Dispatch, had “expanded the autonomy of religious organizations to hire and fire employees . . . protected churches time and again from discriminatory regulations . . . [and] expanded the ability of religious institutions to receive state funds.”
1979: “[Jerry] Falwell’s loathing of President Carter was white-hot. In particular, he claimed that the government’s decision to deny tax-exempt status to a Christian college, Bob Jones University, on the basis of its racially discriminatory practices set a precedent for secular politicians to shut down churches. Deploying ever-more-apocalyptic rhetoric, Falwell pleaded with Christians to resist.”
