The only things that speak in Trumpworld are money for Trump and accolades for Trump. The law? Human rights? Actual Christian morality? Piffle.
Our own would-be Mr MiniTrump, Nigel Farage, accepted £5 million from a person who had served a jail term for fraud in the US. It was questioned whether it was a good thing for the leader of a political party aiming at government to accept money from a convicted fraudste.

The answer "He was exercising Christian forgiveness".

Dude was here 35 years, sent his sons through university, one of which was Tufts. They were even in the process of formalizing his citizenship, and then a bunch of damned dopey animals roll up and execute him for being a brown man. This only happens because Ceeboo and his ilk vote a sundowning pedophilic rapist grifter into office for a second term.

But, hey! Ceeboo listens to soft rock! He’s so relatable!

Quoted, unfortunately, for truth. ICE seem to be goddamned death squads. America has burned through Abraham Lincoln and seems to be aiming for Pinochet. I hope Hitler is far out of reach. I wish I did not have to hope.

Great to hear from you, CeeBoo. Definitely a political prophet in my book. We can go back to a day prior to the last presidential elections and see people in this kingdom backslapping (FARMS style) and predicting how Harris would win, even giving points. I was paranoid Trump was playing a sort of 'wag the dog' with his cohort Putin and bringing in the North Koreans right about the same time as the election to try to sway things his way—giving people a feeling that the world would end if Harris won.

Ninety-five percent of members of the Nazi Party were Christians. When their neighbors were getting rounded up, I'm sure they consoled themselves that the law was followed.
This is a great point, especially coming from those who used to be Mormon. How could anyone be part of something where they praised a single man who wrote a book, believed in an ancient white race, introduced occult symbols, and checked your genealogy to make sure your grandparents were not outsiders to keep the blood pure? Your young men were dressed in black and brown suits, sent off to battle for what is right... a thousand years... a battle at the end...

Hi Ceeboo! It's great to hear from you.

This isn't a cover, but I think it's an apt Christian response to these dark times: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWGapQFwy44

U2's 'COEXIST: I Will Bless The Lord At All Times?' has been haunting me for a while, now.

Every night we hope and pray for a new day to rise
Every morning when the sun shows up, it's still a surprise
Any child is every child in any mother's eyes
I will bless the Lord
I will bless the Lord at all times ...

That child you hear has been crying for years in the wilderness
A child without armour had no hatred to harbour, only loveliness
The driver of the ambulance unpacks his shirt pressed and neat
To honour the hurt and the hungry he will later greet
There's not so much road left here and no road signs
Drones hover without any consciousness over war crimes
I will bless the Lord at all times?

Remember, if you're appalled by what ICE is doing, it must mean you're suffering from TDS. It couldn't possibly be because you have morals or ethics or anything crazy like that. Regular, decent people are just fine with murder and human rights abuse so long as we're controlling the immigrants.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense. It's also the favored cover for hypocrites.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.
