Political analysts and observers were outraged on Wednesday after a video of President Donald Trump's faith advisor comparing him to Jesus. Trump hosted an Easter event at the White House with evangelical groups. The event was supposed to be private, but Trump's speech was posted on the White House'...

    If Trump isn’t roleplaying the Antichrist from the Book of Revelation, then I don’t know what he’s doing.

        Very nice of you to call him المسبح الدجال instead of جبل الخراء البرتقالي

      He just needs to get these meteorites and locusts going and it’s pretty much perfect.

        To be honest, that’s kind of an unimaginative reading.

        Nothing says the censers being thrust down from heaven have to be meteorites. They could be orbit-to-surface missiles.

        Likewise, the “locusts” described aren’t necessarily an insect infestation. They might just as easily be drone swarms.

        You know, if we’re taking the book of revelation seriously, at least…

        Well, Artemis II can do a flyby of the Alien Space Nazi Moonbase on the dark side and that will get the meteorites going. I’m not sure how he’ll manage the locusts. Genetically modified grasshoppers?

          Fun fact, there are only two continents without swarming locusts. Antarctica and North America.

          The Rocky Mountain Locust went extinct sometime around 1900, which was some 30 years after the largest swarm ever recorded for any species of locust.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
