Yes.

Mmmm, or 'Bishop takes Pawn'?

lafileuse.bsky.social•37 days ago

It’s plain that many on the Right have no idea what Christian values are. Not a flipping clue.

Horrified to find myself having coffee with RW Aussie women yesterday who kept exclaiming over the Orange Peril not Bibling his hand when oathing, but admiring how "full of the spirit" Musk was. "Ketamine" I said. Blank faces. Zombie looks. 404 error.

lafileuse.bsky.social•37 days ago

😂 Love it! Speaking of 404s, I used to write 404 error messages in haiku, until we had a special meeting and because the powers that be thought our website had been hacked. Had to ‘fess up.

That made me guffaw...out loud

Integrity must be very rare (in the US) for this to attract so much attention.

Do the Episcopalians have a process to create saints?
If not they should start one with this lady as the first recipient.

Great Bishop!❤️

antfarmer.bsky.social•37 days ago

Fantastic work. And yes so so broken. 😞

xenakes55.bsky.social•37 days ago

I fear for her safety 🙏

voradams.bsky.social•36 days ago

And who said the horrid website owned by the Idiotischer Weltraumführer has no engagement.

richard-j.bsky.social•37 days ago

No longer on twitter so can only imagine. Responses here have been bad enough. Had to block some idiot who claimed to be anti-Trump but wouldn't acknowledge the truth of what the bishop said purely because he was also anti-Christian.

ellebee1000.bsky.social•37 days ago

One thing we learn watching all this is that the amazing stories of those who stood up to the Nazis for the safety of others were incredibly rare diamonds amongst a tidal wave of boot licking and disgusting self interest. Heroes are the few unfortunately.

cognitiveverb.bsky.social•37 days ago

America is not a country.

America is two continents & an isthmus.

The United States of emergency is just part of the whole.

The bishop rocks.

lenche-sk.bsky.social•37 days ago

It’s been broken for a long time, it’s just now people are waking up to it.
You reap what you sow.
The tragedy is it’s the innocents that will suffer the most.

shelly0z.bsky.social•37 days ago

Yep, the US is sadly very broken

serenajoyner.bsky.social•37 days ago

3.5M views 😳

deniseshrivell.bsky.social•37 days ago

200k likes and 15k retweets.

Isn’t that good a post 🤷‍♀️😇

culturalchamp.bsky.social•37 days ago

That’s a shit ton of replies?
Bot swarm I’m guessing

deniseshrivell.bsky.social•37 days ago

Now at 5.7k replies. Extraordinary to watch it.

bcarrington.bsky.social•37 days ago

Bots?

deniseshrivell.bsky.social•37 days ago

Yes - has to be. There’s no real increase in followers or any other engagement - which I suppose you’d expect with that volume. Seems like bots hammering that one tweet.

deniseshrivell.bsky.social•37 days ago

I should add - there are a lot of supportive comments too - but SO many anon blueticks 😱🙃

drsally.bsky.social•37 days ago

It sure is

joneshowdareyou.bsky.social•36 days ago

I am only buoyed by the ratio, Denise. Sterling effort. 👏🥂

musictplove.bsky.social•37 days ago

Just too distressing .Can’t cope with what Twitter has become & who owns it . I went to check a post by @kossamaras.bsky.social as he doesn’t post a lot here & responses to Labor being in trouble were met by Aussie flag bearing ‘ patriots’ all joining Trump cult. We can’t break like the US😔

kindregardz.bsky.social•37 days ago

We won't. 💪

laine132.bsky.social•37 days ago

Bonkers. Did you also see the responses to Rev Benjamin Cremar’s post?

kindregardz.bsky.social•37 days ago

Wowsers. The Fūhrer's bot army?

roseannebyrne.bsky.social•37 days ago

They’re indoctrinated with bullshit from the cradle. Their Christianity is so often one of hate and suspicion. I feel so sorry for the decent Americans but more of them should have got off their arses and voted.

twistedfairy.bsky.social•37 days ago

Sorry but if America was a actual proper functioning Democracy, Trump would have been arrested straight away and held in prison without bail. This is not the voters fault. This is the system owned & managed by very powerful lobby groups with AIPAC at the top of the list.

roseannebyrne.bsky.social•37 days ago

Yes there is that. And the President has way too much power. I’m glad when our constitution was being written they didn’t allow for another quasi king. And we ended up with a real king with less power than the president of the USA.

homo-aspien.bsky.social•37 days ago

I am reminded of the Lutheran pastor and anti-Nazi martyr Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

joedalziel.bsky.social•37 days ago

I fear that bad actors, using cyber attacks on critical infrastructure and supply chains combined with disinformation driving distrust and hatred towards minorities, it is becoming increasingly easy for this country and others to be destabilized in ways we have not imagined.

joedalziel.bsky.social•37 days ago

Disrupt food, water, power and blame migrants on social media and you have the recipe for serious civil unrest.
