> [@Atamasama](#): > > (That was from the _IT Crowd_ “I’m disabled” episode, my wife’s all-time favorite one.) That IS a classic. I’m guessing the expression on Donald’s face would be more in the “anger combined with imperiousness” range, though. (Of course Roy was still trying to play the I’m Disabled role in the scene shown in the GIF.) ---

Trump needs to fall on his knees and beg the forgiveness of the American people and the world. But **that’s** not gonna happen. I don’t care what befalls him after that. * * * Welcome to the SDMB. 👋🏽 Um…have you browsed the board much and gotten a sense of what one might call “the tone/culture” here? Just curious. ---

> [@On another topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/1031045/1): > > our Lord Jesus. Welcome to the Dope. I hope that you stick around. But a word of wisdom: I do not worship your Lord Jesus. I’m not a Christian. I can only speak for myself, but I don’t think I’m alone around here. I hope that doesn’t interfere with your involvement with the message board. We love people who are full of opinions (and your general sentiment regarding Trump - that he needs to repent - will be well received), but expect some push back on the religious front. ---

My gut reaction to that post (WELCOME!) is that the things listed are really the very definition of style over substance. A “Christian --” to _my_ way of thinking – should have about 35,000 _far more substantive_ complaints about Donald Trump. Like how his policies, his actions, and his very being are the textbook antithesis of everything Jesus Christ ever said and did. And how Trump _went after_ National Cathedral Bishop Mariann Budde for essentially delivering Greatest Hits from the Sermon On The Mount, both _in Trump’s presence_ and _with thinly-veiled references to_ Trump. It was the ecumenical equivalent of Trump, Hegseth, et al, blowing a freaking gasket over the six Democratic lawmakers who created the November 2025 video reminding military service members to refuse illegal orders. Maybe there’s a word … something like “antichrist …” to define how diametrically opposite this ‘man’ is to JC. Historians say that Jesus Christ _was_ a person of color, but that color was _not_ orange. ---

Welcome. Yeah, Christians are a minority here. I am one too so glad to see you. Also glad youre not a trump supporter. Though God wants everyone born again, proverbs 11.10 says When the wicked perish, there is joyful shouting. ---
