What a coincidental confluence of events that JD Vance found God and became a Christian the same year he began to talk about running for political office.

Please don’t tell me Uthink Vance is a lying, hypocritical grifter….there isn’t a SINGLE person of integrity around Trump. They ALL Rgrifters comfortable lying, cheating, stealing, misleading the entire country 4their own wealth&power.there aren’t any cult members w/ integrity either.
Ah yes, how convenient. Also, JDV's senate campaign was bankrolled by billionaire Peter Thiel & Thiel helped solidify JDV as TOG's vp pick. Ironically, Thiel is a naturalized US citizen & married to Matt Danzeisen. I'm sure those facts will be excused by MAGA.
Let's not forget he legally changed his name to appear more biblical. His birth name is James Donald Bowman. But Jimmy Donny didn't have the same Godly ring to it.
The self-proclaimed "born again" pseudo-Christian newbies are always the most hypocritical of all. They honestly believe that their life of crimes, lies, misogyny, racism, bigotry, hate is all magically erased; as if suddenly far superior to all "non-believers", who, of course are ALL going to hell.
The “I can do all things through Christ “ brand means he can commit crimes and say he’s doing it for Jesus. Prosperity gospel non-denominational is just a Ponzi scheme
When JD Vance becomes President, likely sometime next year, 2 of 3 Branches of the US Government will be effectively controlled by Opus Dei, a fascist human-trafficking arm of the Catholic Church that helped Franco create a Spanish dictatorship.
And what a swell husband and father to drag his wife to his newfound religion even though she's of a different faith and then demand the kids follow his.
It is funny how power & religion do that to people. He berated the good Catholics for helping out the needy, which is telling about his adherence to specific scripture & ignoring the rest. OR is he the bad guy? Catholics can argue they are not all bad. Reputation is intact for another 1000 years.
Not surprising since he couldn’t sit still & keep his mouth shut in a house of worship when he & his overlord were called out by Bishop Budde. Do they think everyone who is religious /spiritual is a phony, cynic like they are looking to manipulate others for their own gain? He is a disgrace.
There have been. So many fucked up things terrible things done in God's name. The people running around spewing hate were never Christian. NEVER they seem him as an excuse to Rob rape and pillage.
There is nothing Christian about them. They are Anti Christ's at best .. the false prophets .
couldn’t agree more, and I always think of EU when I hear the Nationalists attack Catholics and other religions and how terrible and bloody those times were in days of Kings going back forth under the power of corrupt religions and false claims of ordainment by God to rule
This phenomenon has been around for centuries , concentrated basically in all European countries. Most wars started over religion. Immigrants brought those beliefs with them in this country . And this, unsurprisingly, is the end result .
I know there are some real Christians out there, doing good and helping the poor and showing true empathy, but I find the majority are a bunch of brainwashed, self serving bigots.
Just like Russell Brand when it looked like he might go to gaol for being a rapist. It’s the panacea for curing all sins and giving a free pass to future ones.
Wonder how he's satisfying his secret desire for male companionship? Hiding in closets in the White House? What will we hear from young, male interns in the future? Nothing like faking your name and identity for wealth!
Thiel all but forced him to be Catholic
He is whatvever hes paid n told to do. Elligy for a Hillbilly followed by Trunp is Hitler n American Heroin to Maga Macho man in mascara. His hindu wife just stands there as he supports National Christianity and again as a convert to RCC. Hes a con man.
Only in the US. South Carolina barred atheists from running for office when the state was producing people like Strom Thurmond and William Jennings Bryon Dorn, who got to do high school assembly speeches claiming Khrushchev was a bank robber (nope, it was true of Stalin) and toting Americanism.
Opus Dei - "The group targets, and attracts, people like Donald Trump’s current running mate, J.D. Vance, a convert to conservative Catholicism by way of Opus Dei–connected clergy and influencers."
I think in this instance “Christian” in inverted commas is warranted. Actually that’s the case for all these Nazis who are clearly not true Christians - defined a believers in the teachings of Christ.
Absolutely. My family calls it "Hiding Behind Jesus". Helps them get parole, free handouts from the church, and total forgiveness. Had a distant cousin who sold drugs and he became a bonafide preacher during a repeat stay in prison. Hahaha! The grift goes on!
A’bara K’adabra – “I will create as I have spoken.” Just as magicians claim to have the power to change the reality that is in front of them with words, so too, when their God created the world, it was done not with hands, not with tools, but with an incantation.
Their god is literal abracadabra.
Or that Donald blamed a tragic air disaster on DEI a year after his ear worm went on the same rant? These guys don't have original thoughts. They're being fed by a much bigger problem.
I’m convinced that the Christian nationalists don’t believe the Bible and what Christianity teaches.
They have found that the church is a great place to have weekly meetings. And they can shame their underlings into obedient attendance.
Where do Democrats meet to organize?
The people Cassidy represents elected David Duke TWICE. If he votes no on any of these appointments, he's done. He's already in hot water bc he started to back away from MAGA last year.
Sucked off teat of tax payer programs (public schools, social services, public assistance, law enforcement, military, GI bill) all his life and now no one else shd get it?
They all walked up there & did “The Pence”, (the way Pence in every mtg wld salivate over how wonderful, merciful & brilliant DJT is & we lowly mere mortals have been blessed by on high to have him as our president guiding us in his benevolence)🤮🤮🤮🤬🤬🤬
Unfortunately, I have seen a lot of religious charlatans in my lifetime and JD Vance is the cream of their crop. The good news, though is most everybody hates his guts.
I'm not surprised, most Republicans tend to find religion when they want something like getting elected. Does anyone think Trump, Vance, Boebert, Greene, Gaetz, McConnell and the rest are actually Christian. A lot are radical Christians but not true Christians.
Pudgee Vance's disgusted mug when Bishop Budde was giving her sermon showed who he is - a guy who's real tough when surrounded by a security duty, but couldn't win a bitch slapdown from an 8 year old.
I still find it bizarre that in order to lead the USA in the 21st Century, you absolutely have to have (or at least appear to have) a strong faith (and Christian, nothing else).
Even Obama wasn't particularly religious until he decided to enter politics. Separating church and state?
In the Gore Vidal play, The Best Man, a former President states that American politicians pour God all over everything like ketchup. Kind of ironic that Vance’s boss has such an affinity for the condiment. The Traitor in Chief has certainly used the Christian Right like ketchup on his fries.
It’s like that time Russel Brand became a born again Christian when facing rape allegations. Politics & sex scandals are the cause of a lot of conversions, which sort of explains the state of religion in the world.

I'd say the revelation is underwhelmingly shocking.

And I bet it ended up in a Blaze of Glory….
Really.

Then there’s that whole Christian thing without benefit of the Gospels. Seems a stretch.
If someone's going to tell my family about religion it's going to be me.
I think not!
I get annoyed when people invoke God and bring up Christianity either to escape accountability or to obtain the trust of others through fake piety.
“By their deeds you will know them.”
Talk is cheap.

Cause he believes in it so much.
There is nothing Christian about them. They are Anti Christ's at best .. the false prophets .
Labeling oneself a "Christ follower" (take the name of, or label of, Christian) for "vain" (self-serving) purposes.
God said, "I'm still waiting for J.D. Vance to come find me. Longest game of Hide and Seek ever."
That documentary needs to be taken more seriously
He is whatvever hes paid n told to do. Elligy for a Hillbilly followed by Trunp is Hitler n American Heroin to Maga Macho man in mascara. His hindu wife just stands there as he supports National Christianity and again as a convert to RCC. Hes a con man.
If you'll lie about faith for political power, you are already compromised.
They can both go to hell for empowering the antiChrist named Trump.

But hey - JD assures us he’s a devout Catholic so who are we to judge such a genuine, honest, transparent, truthful, authentic human being. 🤷♀️

Louisiana‼️
If you oppose RFK Jr as head of HHS then you HAVE to call and email Senator Bill Cassidy and URGE him to vote NO‼️
Call him at (202) 224-5824‼️ (website is down - strange timing! 🙄)
Chief of Staff Email: [email protected]
And other ‘Christians’ applaud this.
Maybe he found a way to "use" God.
Who what that god RUMP?
