Oh this article is absolutely spot on. And I have found myself using that in arguments so many times these past few years. If Jesus himself who the religion was named after had to come back down here today, these MFers would literally kill him all over again. It’s the Pharisee convention of the 21st century.

IjeBos:
They are not really Christians, they are a cult or political group.
Their message doesn't resemble any found in the Bible.
They are wearing the cloak of Christianity while denouncing all that it stands for.

Read this article on NPR and had to chuckle.
If Christ came down and told them something opposite of Trump, they'd call him a liar and woke.
And interestly enough Bemeruca and Basilico had the same response in this thread.
I think they forget what the word Christianity came from.

MAGA Christians are demons oo.
They would crucify Jesus if he came again.
She never even called him out of his name. Her approach, message and delivery were as biblical standard as anyone could be.

Meanwhile he refused to place his hand on the Bible when he was being sworn in. Let that have been a Democrat 🤔

You know I can understand racist white people who support Trump because duh. Or rape apologists who pretend like that’s not why they like him while giving us stupid excuses like milk and eggs as if they’ve ever gone grocery shopping in their lives 🙄.

However, I’ll never understand the Christians. I’ve read my Bible from back to front. If we want to apply Biblical characteristics to him, he’s more Antichrist than any other Bible character. They make no sense!

Trump is drunk.
That order is outright stupidity in the first place.

Is he trying to run the country with EO thinking he can turn the system like it is in third world countries?

Most of his EOs are becoming a joke.

That’s what his supporters want. They want 3rd world style government where only people loyal to the president get to breathe and the president rules like a king. No space for rule of law or judicial order

The mind numbing stupidity of voting against your own interests because you thought you were punishing other people.

If not an alarming lack of critical thinking skills, what would make a military officer and their spouse vote for Trump when he never hid the fact that he wants to cut veterans benefits according their project 2025 plans?
Trump Supporter Begs for Help After Job Offer Rescinded Due to Trump's Order: 'I Know This Was an Unintended Consequence'
"My wife is in tears and inconsolable and my family is devastated!"

John Basham, a disabled veteran, appealed to President Donald Trump and Senator Ted Cruz for help after his wife's nursing job offer was rescinded due to an executive order issuing a freeze on government hiring.

A Texas family in the process of relocating for a job with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is pleading for help after the job offer was rescinded due to a government hiring freeze ordered by President Donald Trump.

A nurse and dedicated Trump supporter had recently been hired by the VA, packed up her family's Fort Worth home, and secured housing in Waco. Then, two weeks before her start date, the job offer was rescinded.

In a heartfelt plea directed at Trump and Senator Ted Cruz, her husband—a disabled veteran himself—shared the devastating impact of the rescinded job offer on social media.

"[We] have spent thousands to move our family," John Basham shared on X, formerly Twitter. "Now our family is lost with no clear path."

"My wife is in tears and inconsolable," he wrote, explaining that working with disabled veterans had long been her dream. "My family is devastated!"

"We are all huge Trump supporters and I know this was an unintended consequence," he said, emphasizing his belief that the executive order (EO) was not intended to harm healthcare providers working with veterans.


The White House has said the executive order freezing government hiring is part of President Donald Trump's plan to "drain the swamp," a notable premise of his first and second presidential campaigns.

The hiring freeze is part of an executive order aimed at curbing government spending and ending "the onslaught of useless and overpaid DEI activists buried into the federal workforce," according to the White House memorandum. The freeze, which the White House described as part of the president's "drain the swamp" agenda, has faced criticism for its broad impact, particularly in the area of veterans' healthcare.

"If VA freezes hiring as mandated in Trump's executive order, veterans could face significant wait times for medical appointments and reductions in access to care and benefits," Mark Takano (D-CA), the ranking member of the House Veterans' Affairs Committee, said in a statement Tuesday. "The drafters of these orders clearly did not consider the downstream effects of a hiring freeze on the millions of veterans who rely on VA."


Doug Collins, Trump's VA secretary nominee, dismissed concerns during his confirmation hearing on Tuesday. "I think what we're going to see is that no one on the veteran side is going to miss their health care provider because of this new hiring freeze," Collins said.


Meanwhile, Basham is urging social media to bring his family's situation to Trump's attention, hoping for a resolution that would allow his wife to fulfill her dream and continue serving veterans in need

They have the data and they know the number of LGBTQ people and gender people are less than 1%, but the most affected would be black people…
Now they end DEI, saying they are fighting LGBTQ when most affected is you a fvking black man… but the black man is blinded and can’t even see he’s the target

Well that’s what people wanted. According to the right wing, nothing that was being encouraged to help stall the spread of COVID was good. It’s was all a plot by democrats to get them.

when you tell them to mask up and social distance, they say it’s a plot to destroy their businesses. Well now they can mingle freely and get sick as they wish. I don’t see the issue. Some were going as far as attacking anyone wearing a mask. Making up propaganda about vaccines. The whole politicizing of the pandemic made it that nothing common sense was easy to achieve.

Is fauci the face of Pharma Dollar because he encouraged vaccines? Something that was literally in his job description?
All the years he served America he wasn’t the face of big pharma. Not until Trump came into power and got his feelings hurt because he was encouraging people to inject bleach and fauci said that was stupid.

Can’t do this conversation without talking about Trump. He’s not the first president who had a disease outbreak in his presidency. He was the only one who turned it into a circus with conspiracy theories and anti science mumbo jumbo. Can’t remove his name from the conversation. He’s literally the cause of the whole mess.

Here, if you have covid, you can go to work, you can decide to stay at home but hospitals have no bed for you.
Usually, beginning of cold like last year November we had snow and the temp dived, covid cases increased so also flu and cold. Unless you have an underlying problem and depending on your age, treat it like you treat common cold at home. That was why I used that cold analogy.
At work, if you say you have covid, people don't even care anymore.

Not doing trump with you.
Fauci was the face of pharma dollar. All involved are smiling to the bank while he the small guy might take the fall.
In uk here, people also want investigation on how covid was handled. Uk is yet to recover from it.

That's not what the law did.
The law prevented employers from not hiring Black people and minorities that were qualified.
So if a qualified Doctor applied to a hospital they would find a way not to hire them because they didn't want a Black doctor.
The law made that illegal.
It’s so simple. So basic. Tell me why it’s a challenge for these guys to understand.

Do you know anything about black businesses, banks, towns and companies that were burned to the ground in various massacres across the USA when black people tried to stand on their own?

Do you think these rules are only for private employers of labor? You do realize that qualified black and brown tax payers whose taxes fund federal organizations, parastatals and departments should also be deserving of employment in those organizations? Which is something they’re often excluded from because of their skin color even when they meet all the criteria for employment. The reason why the law for protection against discrimination had to be passed in the first place.

If you guys don’t know the genesis of a conversation, pls sit it out. Don’t be on the internet looking like fools because you feel you have to talk about every topic that comes across your timeline when with no understanding

What us conservative about employing based on merit rather than based on race and religion or affirmative action? If blacks are the best they should occupy the positions if not then Caucasians should.
How many NBA teams do you see Caucasians? Its because they select the best and do not do affirmative action else you would have seen other demography challenging the black supremacy in NBA , NFL and other sports in the US. Why is other sector like government different?
Employing based on merit means the employer will hire you for your qualifications rather than because you’re white. That’s not the case. That has never been the case in racist America that was built on slavery.

The employers will hire for whiteness instead of qualifications. A unqualified white person will be given the job over a qualified black person. The law prevented them from doing that. Now that he’s done away with that protection, racist white mongrels will go back to disqualifying people based on their race and gender rather than them being actually unqualified.

Some of you are so freaking daft it’s insane.

That's what's called the free market. Employers should be able to hire or not hire you for whatever reasons they want. Forcing employers to hire women and blacks to meet a quota leads to incompetence. If you're really good, the best companies will hire you if they want to make profit.

To add to this, do you even know for you to be a black person, even worse an international black person from Africa… for your resume to get to the hiring manager means that you are beyond qualified…
You must be extra qualified to earn the same opportunities as the average white person and sometimes even over qualified
DEI doesn’t mean reducing the hiring standard, it simply means giving people who may never have a chance an opportunity to show their talents

Now you are here celebrating this, when you or any of your relatives could have been a beneficiary of the protection….
Who do you this kind thing??
Foreign Affairs › Re: Trump Revokes The Equal Employment Opportunity Act Of 1965 by cococandy(f): 3:21pm On Jan 23, 2025
No there’s no risk of hiring people who are unqualified

Your file doesn’t even get to the hiring managers desk unless your resume ticks all the boxes. When all qualified candidates are preselected and presented to the hiring manager, the anti discrimination laws prevent them from discriminating against you for a position you’re qualified for in favor of a white person due to racism.

Pls stop spreading misinformation.

but this have other consequences too....

you risk to hire people that are not capable to the job....
i understand white people arguments....

that still doesnt mean if a black is provin to be capable to the job he or she wouldnt be hired....

Fauci is now the scape goat.
Pharma dollar, one of the world's second most powerful and corrupt oligarch.

Hospitals will rather admit people with common cold than covid.
In typical fashion, Trump mishandled COVID and wants to blame it on fauci when he was the one who refused to listen to the experts on the pandemic.

I bet this whole scapegoating of Fauci is to discourage up and coming public health officials from engaging in intellectualism, evidence based reasoning and scientific research.

What hospitals are preferring to admit common cold versus Covid? I’ve not seen that anywhere in the hospitals that I’ve worked. Sick is sick and you get admitted or discharged based on the severity of your symptoms. I hope UK hospitals are doing the same. They shouldn’t let the drama distract them from caring for actually sick people.

A stupid black person supporting Trump and he turned around to be the racist pig everyone with a brain said he was going to be? Surely you have enough common sense to see that you were bamboozled. A decent enough person would’ve been like darn I was tricked.
