I object to that characterization. “Jingle Bell Rock” is more properly classified as rhythm and blues (for all that “rock” is in the title). ---

We do not really have MAGAt rallies 'round here (kinda hostile territory), but if we did, I think it would be fun to show up and set up a Kool-Aid stand. ---

The biggest problem with artificial stupidity is that it would be stupidity without consequences. That defeats the whole purpose. ---

Lord and Savior Trump posted this quote from megachurch pastor Robert Jeffress on Truth Social today. > [@](#): > > “This is not a naive trust — it’s a trust based on a track record,” said Texas megachurch pastor Robert Jeffress, an enthusiastic Trump supporter. “I think what evangelicals agree with is his general narrative that America would be better off if we return to our Judeo-Christian roots. What that looks like — **people are willing to give him great leeway on how it would be implemented.** ” Bolding mine. Jesus Fucking Christ. As long as they get their Christian Nationalist agenda attempted, they don’t care if Trump goes against every Judeo-Christian value they once claimed to believe in. I seem to recall that Hitler was also given great leeway to implement his vision. Be careful what you wish for you fucking assholes. It can come back to bite you while you’re looking the other way. ---

> [@aurora\_maire](#): > > they don’t care if Trump goes against every Judeo-Christian value they once claimed to believe in. Plus, they seem to think that the leopards will never eat _their_ faces. It would be ironic indeed if there was a Christian agenda implemented, but not theirs. And Southern Baptists were declared evil, unclean and had the choice of changing their denomination or face prison camps. ---

In another thread I noted that some Evangelicals don’t consider Catholic church really Christian, and most Christian groups don’t accept Mormons as part of Christendom [ETA: Spelling ignorance fought] I’ve pointed out to some of my family that if they ever got their Christian Nation, the very next day the Baptists would be at the throats of the Catholics, who’d be warring with the Mormons, and so on. ---
