Senator Mike Lee Compares Donald Trump to Captain Moroni

[Res Ipsa]

Over a MDD the tread discussing this topic ballooned to 7 pages inside of a day before it was shut down. I was troubling to read some of the attempts to defend Trump. Here is an example:

Of all the scandalous personal behavior people incessantly accuse him of, I’ve noticed that none of it post-dates the election of 2016. With all the vehement hatred against him, I should think somebody would have unearthed something by now that occurred since then (and no, I don’t accept the partisan impeachment scam).


One wonders if there is an individual statute of limitations on a person’s judgmentalism.

Apparently to some, bad behavior has a shelf life.

LOL. There’s no evidence of X except all the evidence of X, which I choose to ignore.

Apparently the 20,000 + verified lies that Trump has told since the 2016 election do not count as sin or bad behavior in Trumpland, just as lying for the Lord does not count as sin when skilfully practiced by high level leaders in Mormondom.

ETA: The MDD discussion on this topic is worth a look. Lots more folks who are posting seem to oppose Trump than I would have anticipated.

The next step for Senator Lee is to suggest that the likeness of Trump be placed alongside the Christus statue in the Visitor's Center.

Next to? Just replace it, everyone loves a pussy grabber in Utah more than a mere Savior sort of Son of God.

It's too bad Republicans also own Dan Peterson's Sic et Non and control what he can say politically. I'd love to read what he really thinks of Captain MorDonaldi. It's too bad there wasn't a good enough "man" living today in Mormonism to be compared to such an great one as Captain MorDonaldi.....

The apologists now have a more powerful enemy than ex-Mormons telling the real truth.... their own Mormon politicians..... and the chapel Mormons will find the politicians more persuasive than the Mopologists arguments are..... I wonder how well the Mopes will do in the up coming battle ...

I wonder if Lee is yet embarrassed out of his mind about his idiotic comparison yet, seeing how Trump has childishly acted this last month...... If there was a Captain Moroni and he meets Lee in the afterlife, I predict a serious savage dressing down of Lee. He'll be cleaning the poop pots for years.....
