    Christians should read the Bible some time. Specifically the traits and events of Antichrist and how.close they’re getting.

    Trump rally-goers drink bleach & stick UV bulbs up their ass.

    I’m not worried about the shared delusions of morons.

      You really should be. Morons are dangerous in numbers, especially the delusional ones.

      That whole thing was even dumber than most know. Yes. Dumber.

      Can’t find a more complete video, they all just show Trump saying asinine things about bleach and UV from the podium.

      The scene is a Whitehouse press briefing on COVID-19:

      Before he took the stage, Trump comes in from the left and stops for a few moments to study a CDC infographic poster on an easel. An infographic about sterilizing surfaces.

      And no shit, just like a child who didn’t do his homework, he got up in front of the class and started spewing nonsense.

    So who was the audience here? Two dozen delusional hillbillies, or a crowd of 10,000? One is a story, the other is not.

    Looked like a pro setup, staging, sound, graphics, etc. Crowd at the end sounded small, kinda echoey. I’ve seen that sort of thing at the Hilton. 200 people in a ballroom sounds louder than this mob. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Crazy to say, but this sort of thing doesn’t really matter unless Trump wins. It’s not winning him any votes he didn’t already have. No one is undecided about this guy. Far as I can tell, he only stands to lose voters.

    If he does get in office, this sort of rhetoric will lead to violence.

        Thanks! I guess that’s a fair-sized crowd? Nothing to laugh at with 1,000+ in attendance, little more serious.

        Most of you are far younger than I, but this shit would not have stood back in the day, let alone be normalized. Which is kinda what I’m doing here, ain’t it? Fuck me.

        Keep this front-of-mind folks; This is what we’ll be up against if Trump wins.

        “All politics is local.” The top only gives permission to these people. Their actions will take place locally. Not a paranoid dude, always looking for danger, but I can see Brown Shirts knocking on my door.

        “Hey Shalafi! Look, just here to talk, protect you. C’mon man! We’re your neighbors, you know us! We all good! Just hand over the guns so you’re safe. Swear you can get 'em back after you apply to the Committee of Public Safety.”

        Keep that in mind while banging away to take our guns. I am a peaceful man. I am not a harmless man. I am able to make that choice. Friends and neighbors, have you made a choice? No problem if you choose pacifism! I truly respect that take.

        “If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice”, guitar riff.

        And to lighten the mood, this had me laughing out loud.

      They are, in fact, deadly serious. We’d all do well to remember that.

    Put not your trust in princes or sons of men, in whom there is no salvation. His breath departs, he returns to the earth. On that very day his plans perish.

    So if god is deciding our leaders, Biden shouldn’t be an issue, right?

    NM, choked down some more of the video. One sort of leader gets in power from demonic influence, the other sort from god’s influence. What a convenient belief system.

      You’d think God would be able to snap his fingers and make the influencing demon vanish. But, as usual, that requires more omnipotence than he has.

        Nah. Now we gotta talk about freewill and the demon’s “rights” to influence us. Exhausting, ain’t it?
