Could Trump's attempt to pander to evangelicals backfire? We can only hope.

You can get bibles for free just by asking virtuallly any church. Theological texts should always be free access. If they're not, there's a real fucky reason, and you should turn right around.

Yeah but giving stuff away for free doesn't help Trump money launder all of the foreign money he needs to stay solvent financially and competitive in the election.

The Bibles, the shoes, the NFTs, all of this bullshit is being used for this purpose, well that and his psycho cult fandom buys up the rest because those sheep apparently will buy anything he sells.

What are you, a communist giving bibles away for free?

“The last time he was on his knees, he was picking up a french fry,” Joy Behar offered

I thought it was when Trump met with Putin in 2018?

[–] yeather@lemmy.ca 11 points 6 months ago

He has picked up many more french fries since then.

To be fair, I'm sure Putin's dick could easily be mistaken for a french fry.

It's amazing how hard it is for people to spot conmen.

[–] Facebones@reddthat.com 5 points 6 months ago

It's not that they're falling for a conman, they're just shitbags using religion as an impenetrable "It's literally illegal to call me a dick cause religious freedom" shield who are financially supporting a shitbag who stands for all their shitbag ""politics""

Not even a good one.

I definitely don’t think Jesus weight have a problem with this, he was well known for encouraging merchants in the temple.

I stopped reading it when a privileged person was talking about being persecuted. People like that are how grifters like Trump get any traction.
