When faced with the evangelical support that the pussy-grabber-in-chief garners, you just have to wonder what is going on. Is it a case of people holding their noses and giving their support to a truly odious and morally corrupt individual because he panders to their desire for power and keeps them warm by pushing their emotional buttons. Alternatively, is it simply all a facade, and Jesus is the socially acceptable front for their bigotry, racism, and intolerance. Perhaps they started out with a desire for integrity, decency and doing what is right, but the frog has been sitting in a pan of water that has been heating up so slowly that they have failed to detect the change.
Whatever it is, the flow of utterly absurd and bizarre claims continue to pour forth to anoint the elect with what can best be described as utter shit.
Wingnut proclamations from the last 7 days
Here for your enjoyment is this week’s selection of wingnut gems. It has all been mined from the stream of befuddled right-wing / religious proclamations …
The Cult of Trump ..
- Jeremiah Johnson: ‘The Future of America Belongs in the Hands of the Baby Boomers’ …”God has clearly spoken to me that the future of America belongs in the hands of the baby boomers,” Johnson said” “I believe in 2020, it’s time to help Donald Trump get reelected and finish the race,”

- I think I’m beginning to understand why he is leading the Trump legal team.
- Carl Gallups: Those Who Hate Trump Have a ‘Demonic Spirit in Them’ … “They have this spirit in them of hating all things biblical, all things godly, all things Jesus Christ, hating all things that are pure truth, hating all things that have any righteousness attached to them at all,”

Impeachment ..
Alternative Facts are in full flight ..

Folks with a persecution fixation ..
