...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.
Or a populace with one.
That's easy to say, but making it reality is a harder task because of gerrymandering, voter suppression, racism in the justice system, and of course the giant disaster of campaign financing, which guarantees that corporate lackeys are going to fill congressional seats in large numbers...
And I'm not saying we shouldn't try. But don't rush to blame "the people" when many of us are trying quite hard to effect positive change. Or blame us, if you want, but then you'll be helping maintain the status quo.
Yes we should just ruin our lives if not die for your entertainment while solving nothing very good
"...but I'd still vote for him."
- every evangelical leader

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.
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?
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.
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!
"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.
Which generation? For that matter how is it anyone's shame but trump and all those evangelical leaders that support him.
It's fine, ya'll can Lean on Me
Oh… so, just those posts? That’s it?
Grizzly? The grizzly murder?
Come on, FFS
