Is Anyone any Longer Surprised by this?

Trump Told Military To Protect His Supporters During Capitol Riot
But it was one other thing that Miller said that really shook the country. And that was according to Miller that Donald Trump wanted to use the military to protect his supporters. He didn't want the military to be used to go in there and protect the members of Congress who were about to vote on certifying the results of the 20, 20 electoral college votes. He wanted the national guard to go in there and protect his rioters. Donald Trump. Then the sitting president of the United States was watching this unfold on TV, just like the rest of us. And he was watching it with glee. And then I guess when asked about military involvement, he said, yeah, they should go protect my people.
No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Not in the least.

The only way the orange idiot could surprise me is by doing the right thing.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.

Republicans no longer tell the truth, fearing it would be hurtful to Trump.

More precisely, they know it would be hurtful to Trump and therefore fear Trump's retribution for telling the truth.
