Of note here is that the reditor has all his cited links as high green quality according to NewsGuard. Only one does now appear as qualified as it is a satellite picture from a Harvard cite. A very good case for the incompetence of Trump, although it falls for the bit that Trump was calling it a hoax. But, that is a nitpick really, while Trump did clarify that the hoax was the reaction that the democrats had and fact-checkers agree, history has shown that in practice the actions of Trump and what many followers did and are doing is just the same as if they did/are assume/ing that the pandemic is a hoax. ---

I suspect what he was really listening to was the drying up of the sweet, sweet money that was flowing into his bank account, and keeping him in a very comfortable lifestyle. The Trump Money Train has gone off the tracks, so he’s just switching to the next scam. ---

The Church, I think. Was RC, these idiots probably consider themselves successors or the one true church nowadays. Nuns were/are called the brides of Christ. I think. Been a while since I had anything to do with the church. I’m kinda worried that their “Wedding day” is a reference to the Apocalypse. Which would be bad. ---

[side note] > [@Sherrerd](#): > > I sort of half do, and half don’t want to know what “the bride of Christ” is in this particular worldview/scam. > [@Morgyn](#): > > The Church, I think At the beginning of the extended passage of Revelation Chapters 21 and 22, _ **after** _ all the trials and tribulations, the last angel shows to the Seer the new Heavens and Earth and the Seer writes: _“I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.”_ Then it is reiterated as the angel says _“Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb. And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God."_ And later on the Spirit and the Bride are described as calling for those who thirst for the waters of life to come. So the Bride is the New Jerusalem, all ready to receive the triumphant King looking her finest as a bride receiving her husband, and a common interpretation is that it is a personification of the redeemed world and the church triumphant, having overcome all the tribulations. His reference probably also harkens to the parable of the bridesmaids, wherein those who had wisely prepared were able to join the groom at the wedding feast. [/side note] ---
