This is a remarkable clip. C-Span stuck with the angle facing the President. Trump glances down at his paper, JD Vance looking around trying to engage with Usha. She ignores him and watches the sermon intently. www.c-span.org/clip/white-h... - ThreadSky

Said more than any @democrats-judiciary.house.gov has ever said. Because they’re afraid.

God is Good !!

Truth to power and she certainty rattled them 👏👏👏💙

ofhuman.bsky.social•33 days ago

So not interested in trying to read humanity in the faces of ppl who are complicit enablers. The are accessories before during and after the fact

Amazing how one reverend in one church just stood up to the Leader of the Free World. It was done respectfully but still… the kind of courage that takes is in short supply these days.

eless501.bsky.social•33 days ago

She is gonna need major security after her very brave sermon.

thatsanwoman.bsky.social•32 days ago

Pretty sure I saw Natasha smirking.

susir49.bsky.social•33 days ago

Usha's intensity in spite of JD's trying to distract her is the think that held my attention.

araliacres.bsky.social•33 days ago

Good for her she is a brave woman.

mjteacher.bsky.social•33 days ago

You see Trump did not see this coming which is what makes it so powerful and effective.

prr333.bsky.social•33 days ago

It was a lovely sermon. Bishop Marian Budde spoke beautifully and respectfully.

hedkickboy.bsky.social•33 days ago

Trump looks like Jabba the Hutts fatter and uglier cousin.

ohubhave.bsky.social•32 days ago

Great post. Usha gonna leave him.

ldarroyo66.bsky.social•33 days ago

They don’t care. They’re all evil.

Anybody know why melania is so full of hatred?

elliskatz.bsky.social•32 days ago

While watching the Trump family on the C-span clip, felt like the Trumps themselves were the family portrait version of Dorian Grey's portrait - they were the living embodiment of the portrait, not hidden but out in the open and exposed for all to see the moral decay upon their soulless faces.

JD: You want I should take her out, boss?

And, I fear Tiffany's eyes might not be able to return to the front of her head.

Amazing.

inmyheadagain.bsky.social•33 days ago

Tiffany - clearly not enjoying the situation, but lifting her head to smirk. Lara’s smirk near the end too.

lcg187.bsky.social•33 days ago

This is why I am a proud member of the Episcopal Church. We are about as polar opposite as White Christian nationalists as possible. The exact people Trump hates are welcome in our church. Rev Buddy has more of a backbone than MANY political "leaders" out there

He is pissed beyond pissed!
If Melania had that hat on she wore yesterday it would be on fire 🔥

shafm.bsky.social•32 days ago

Seems to be always a woman who does this to his face.

southst1.bsky.social•32 days ago

Like that’s going to happen

missmauve.bsky.social•33 days ago

JD was probably going to ask his wife if they’d catch fire if 🍊💩 burst into flames at that moment

lmgrant.bsky.social•33 days ago

Notice the squirming of the Trump children.

tomwild.bsky.social•33 days ago

Watch the reactions. Tiffany likes the sermon, and bemusedly watches the reaction of her father. Usha is great, too.

duettonut.bsky.social•33 days ago

“Asshole” doesn’t like being lectured.

dolivaw.bsky.social•33 days ago

You cannot appeal to the voids in his character that should be occupied by his sense of decency, morality, or empathy.

eleutheriaelpis.bsky.social•33 days ago

Saw another version, just look at their facial expressions, especially Trump’s, Vance’s and Tiffany’s. Unfortunately the Bishop’s words fell on deaf ears to these ‘entitled’ people. Rep Mike Collin’s response: “the person giving this sermon should be added to the deportation list.”

dodgersmom.bsky.social•33 days ago

And them Rep. Mike Collins suggests deporting her. Such deplorables.

bredebee.bsky.social•33 days ago

Asking him to have mercy would be like asking him to stop painting his face orange ...can't do it .

floridadab.bsky.social•33 days ago

Only Trump and JD Vance are sending out the body language of disgust and derision. Even Eric and Don Jr are at least pretending to be engaged and respectful. And it’s about time a church leader did this to his face. Props to her.

theepisteme.bsky.social•32 days ago

Incredible and amazing of this woman! WOW!!!
That’s what having a spine looks like.

chauntel21.bsky.social•33 days ago

Heroic!!! He will probably have some type of retribution!

kmeiri.bsky.social•33 days ago

Usha, Usha you too will burn in hell for this

jfohatesmaga.bsky.social•33 days ago

I am glad someone said this to him but that smug sob does not gaf.

rococo-reinette.bsky.social•33 days ago

I noticed Usha and Melania both watching more intently too.

lynninri.bsky.social•33 days ago

Why is there a religious service as part of the pomp and traditions of a presidential inauguration anyway in a country founded upon freedom from religion ? Make it make sense
