One of my (many) unanswered questions: Does DOGE think these are good uses of taxpayer funds?

The Jan 6 insurrection persists. Never ceased or ceases.

FREEDOM OF RELIGION.
Heard of that?

sissy70.bsky.social•25 days ago

What religion? He only worships himself.

paula-mac.bsky.social•25 days ago

It's all in project 2025. We tried to tell everyone.

boerjebrandt.bsky.social•25 days ago

The people have the power now !

Politicians within the @democrats.org are in minority both on Congress & Senate.

So, its the people who have the power - to change.

Boycott RED States.

That may pave the way to flip Congress & Senate.

volimance.bsky.social•25 days ago

This has got to be bot generated.

boerjebrandt.bsky.social•25 days ago

Nope. I'm real.

volimance.bsky.social•25 days ago

Ok, it’s just that what you wrote has the feel of bot generated text

I'm real and what I know a human 😊

At least we can identify them by their crosses ....

Wouldn’t this Faith Office also be a diversity, equity and inclusion initiative benefiting the [white] christian nationalist identity?

feidreth.bsky.social•25 days ago

A "Faith Office"?! Uuum, how 'bout "NO".

Where are all the idiots who were screaming at that bishop about "separation of church and state" now (as if she was a government bishop lol wut)?

Hey, Agent Orange and Skibidi Hitler--get lost, and take the couch fucker with you.

unconstitutional

Evidently Elon had long been a self-professed atheist until he realized it would benefit his new American takeover project by hinting that he's now some variation of "Christian lite". 🙄

rhinonc.bsky.social•25 days ago

Nooo! We don’t want a state religion. Religious liberty is one of our founding principles. Freedom from religion is what that means to me.

jennlazo.bsky.social•25 days ago

He loves lawsuits so much.

studiomala.bsky.social•25 days ago

He will just not stop trolling us.

chronicangst.bsky.social•25 days ago

What a bizarre Valentine's Day this upcoming one will be...🙄 And yet there is a clue in Cupid’s quiver for many of us who eschew firearms but remain concerned for personal safety as violent Christian Nationalists take over America...

bematthe.bsky.social•25 days ago

I love being a Christian who can be a Christian freely. I love that my fellow Christians aren't being oppressed. But I've had enough of Christians who need to make everything about themselves, and insist the world follow suit. It's pure selfishness.

bematthe.bsky.social•25 days ago

So many US Christians are so ungrateful. We are so privileged. Everything revolves around us. But it's not enough for some. They think they can't prove their love for God unless they're being oppressed... so they pretend to be. It's an insult to those who have actually been oppressed and to God.

heavysigh24.bsky.social•25 days ago

Separation of church and state? Or is ‘state’ to be taken literally here?

philipvernon.bsky.social•25 days ago

. . . And how long do they really think things like the “Faith Office” will be around? There WILL eventually be a Democrat president and all those regressive EOs and crackpot “offices” will be the first things eliminated.

Bank on it.

seven2seven8.bsky.social•25 days ago

That sure doesn't sound very "separation of church and state"-y.

legolas3.bsky.social•25 days ago

This is what brings about the civil war. I honestly did not think it would happen this quickly. I was very wrong. They will bludgeon us with the cudgel of religion. Force people to their will in the name of god. THEIR god. They care nothing for Christianity.
Nothing at all. It’s a prop for them.

legolas3.bsky.social•25 days ago

Just look at all the aid money they have cut already. Much of which was used by churches for humanitarian aid. Just about the only good they do. This is some of the worst news yet from this administration. Things will not end well.

rockintheroad.bsky.social•25 days ago

Rebuild the Wall!
Between Church and State.

lahorn.bsky.social•25 days ago

I don’t follow any legacy media or much of anything anymore, but how is it Mother Jones is the only place I’ve seen this story? In my opinion this is what their whole scheme is about and the ultimate goal. Gilead.

Using the constitution as toilet paper at this point.

juliannemcshane.bsky.social•25 days ago

And the sole example he gave of so-called anti-Christian bias in government was...a debunked one.

bowright52.bsky.social•25 days ago

He’s just like his followers. They all will believe anything they are told without verifying if it is true or not.

sissy70.bsky.social•25 days ago

Trump doesn’t care about abortions! He has probably paid for a few himself. He just uses the pro life platform to get support from the MAGAts!

sunsout.bsky.social•25 days ago

Lying about praying when speaking at the prayer breakfast. 🤯

starlightwishes.bsky.social•25 days ago

At the moment the largest Anti-Christian bias in the Gov't is Vance. He twists Jesus' teachings every which way, just like anybody who works for the Anti-Christ would. Johnson is the second largest Anti-Christian.

juliannemcshane.bsky.social•25 days ago

I also used my several years of Catholic education to point out that... whatever this is, it ain't Christianity.

juliannemcshane.bsky.social•25 days ago

The person who's going to lead the White House's new "Faith Office" is, apparently, the televangelist Paula White—who @smencimer.bsky.social profiled for @motherjones.com in this excellent (& disturbing) piece back in 2020:

Well, televangelists do know how to fake in that cash 💰💰💰💰

juliannemcshane.bsky.social•25 days ago

She's associated w/ the New Apostolic Reformation, an evangelical Christian movement whose leaders claim God speaks directly to them & “that Christians are called to wage a spiritual battle for control of the United States," as @kieraevebutler.bsky.social wrote:

sirroms.bsky.social•25 days ago

Charlatan. Plain and simple.

silverknitter.bsky.social•25 days ago

Whose faith? Christian Nationalists are not Christian. They do nof follow Christ's teachings: lovd your neighbors, protect the poor and vulnerable, welcome the stranger.

nitroknight.bsky.social•25 days ago

It's a "Christian Country" but Christians are a persecuted "minority." Conflicting concepts.

mrgsj.bsky.social•25 days ago

If it looks like a puckered asshole and acts like a puckered asshole, it is, in fact, a fucking puckered asshole.

nanabknits.bsky.social•25 days ago

Would they include all faiths in this "Faith Office "??
Probably not. ..

heavysigh24.bsky.social•25 days ago

Ha ha ha ha. You so silly. There’s only ONE TRUE FAITH (I don’t know which one; I go with the Greek Gods if I’m pressed) 😁

nanabknits.bsky.social•25 days ago

Lost my head there for a minute ...you couldn't make this stupid crap up if you tried.
He wouldn't know what faith was if it smacked him upside the head.

Can we end the nightmare now?

bookofmudora.bsky.social•25 days ago

Separation of Church and State is the fucking bedrock of our country.

psyexmachina.bsky.social•25 days ago

Cue up lawsuits for violating the Constitutional separation of church and state.

tinydarkone.bsky.social•25 days ago

Let’s hope the lawsuits will fly for this and lightening fast

lahorn.bsky.social•25 days ago

I wish bit with the current scotus it won’t go anywhere. And I’m not entirely sure it’s explicitly stated in the constitution.

psyexmachina.bsky.social•25 days ago

"This clause ... also prohibits government actions that unduly favor one religion over another. It also prohibits the government from unduly preferring religion over non-religion, or non-religion over religion." https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/establishment_clause But with this SCOTUS, all bets are off.

onetinsoldier61.bsky.social•25 days ago

Would this be un constitutional?

rewhan.bsky.social•25 days ago

Throw it on the pile with all the other unconstitutional things he's done without consequence
