This is NOT just, ‘Trump being Trump.’ It’s Trump being classless.
...where have you been the last, like, 79 years? Trump is classlessness personified.
Before I even looked I said, "I bet it's Russell Moore." He's been vocally anti-Trump since before his first term. Even got fired from the SBC ERLC for it.
So he's been there the whole time, basically. This isn't a reversal for him.
Edit: I hadn't actually read the article yet. That quote is David Brody. I just assumed the whole article would be about Russell Moore.
"...but I'd still vote for him."
- every evangelical leader
"We have worked with imperfect vessels before." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/apr/01/donald-trump-white-evangelical-christians-indictment
This to the exponent of 100.
Yeah, our entire generation, as in everyone alive today, is going to be viewed as ape-like knuckle dragging dipshits by future generations, assuming they aren't even more stupid than we are.
That's our legacy in the annals of history. Dipshits.
Ah that's not true. Have you visited countries that were formerly ruled by dictatorial governments? Everyone knows that the average citizen wasn't responsible for national level badness. There's no judgment on the ordinary person, because blaming the victims is rather pointless.
How many of those countries democratically elected those dictators with full knowledge of who they were and what they were planning?
Twice.
Fucking evangelicals are one of the reasons this shit is happening. Take the blame for this immoral shitscape, too, Russell.
The shame of our generation is both the cons and the pinnacle of everything they've been working toward and dreaming about: Taco himself.
It's much more than just one post from this POS; his very existence and the conservative backing of him as a so-called "President" is the real shame.
Lol what? The dude is a pedophile, but a social media post about a celebrity death is the real shame?
He is the shame of our country, personified
Well, this is coming from an Evangelical. Pedophilia is fairly common in those spheres.
No, just adds to it. One more disappointment in a litany of disappointments. He will never be held responsible until his dying day. So social outrage is the only consequence of note.
I know they despised each other, but the Reiners aren't even in the ground yet. Have some respect for his surviving family you stinky cankleoid.
But remember, the conservatives are better because they don't celebrate the deaths of people they don't like, unlike the left who made light of Charlie Kirk's death.
You're both out of control, our parties should be dismantled and dissolved.
"our" parties?
Yes, you have a problem with that? Or should I have said "our party" since they swap terms every four to eight years?
I stand corrected, okay, "our party" it is.
Well. I'm not American, so....
Oh, we were talking about Trump who is the President of America.
So, be more pedantic! It's fun, I do it too
Oh are non Americans not allowed to talk about US politics, is that how it works?
They sure can! But they should be aware when anyone in any thread says "our blah blah blah" when talking about American politics, they mean Americans. We can't spell every tiny detail out for you, it goes without saying that "our.... " in a thread about Americans and an American politician, this is referring to those the thread is about.
Just like in my response to you, I say "they" rather than "non-americans not allowed to talk about US politics." Because I am responding to you, and you should know who I am referring to. Certainly, I'm not talking about everyone on Earth.
THIS is how it works. Whatever country or political system and so on are the subject of the thread, when speaking of those who are involved in voting or parties or citizens and so on, "our" should be adequate for all readers without further explanation.
Do you understand?
Or, just saying, how about you don't babe assumptions about people's politics? To save yourself the embarrassment 😉
I didn't make any assumptions, just telling you how it works, friendo.
Why would I be embarrassed? You're the one who doesn't know, I am being kind by teaching you. :P
You assumed I was American and supported a certain political party. Did you forget?
No such assumption or claim was made at any time, please pay attention!
YOU were in a thread about US politics and President Trump, and acted like you don't know what "our" means in that context.
You assumed that I was making an assumption. Don't do that. If you did this in public, you would be treated with disdain in any civilized company.
A group of people are talking, you overhear "Let's go to our favorite restaurant!"
You interject "It's not MY favorite restaurant, don't make assumptions."
The speaker looks at you with contempt. "I wasn't talking to you".
But not the kiddie fucking....
Jesus fucking christ, America.
You are all missing the point .... Reiner is drawing attention so Trump needs to make it about HIM again.
Rats on a sinking ship. Fuck all of these people
If the concept of shame itself could have shame, that lecherously vile piece of human-shaped dogshit is an example of what shame’s shame would look like on a lecherously vile piece of human-shaped dogshit.
"Funny" thing is, Netanyahu did the same on the same day about the shooting in Australia. Fucking fascist boomers.
But evangelicals are also a shame of our generation.
Not at all, the shame of our generation is the election of Trump. TWICE!! And the fact that the majority of Americans actually supported him, and he won the popular vote.
Trump,'s post is only what can be expected from a malignant narcissist with dementia that prevent the little bit of self control that could have prevented him from actually posting it.
Wake up Americans, the shame is not on Trump, it's on the American voters!
Which generation? For that matter how is it anyone's shame but trump and all those evangelical leaders that support him.
Grizzly? The grizzly murder?
Come on, FFS
