THIS MAY BE, IN FACT, THE FIRST MAJOR STEP IN THE REVIVAL OF RELIGION, WHICH IS DESPERATELY NEEDED, IN OUR COUNTRY. BRING BACK TTC!!! MAGA2024,” Trump wrote in the early hours of Friday.

The only ones we know of, as well.

Add in any parties or flights with Epstein

"I start kissing them. You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful ancient texts. I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the tablet. You can do anything."

I don't know if it says more about me, or more about trump that I almost thought this was a real quote.

[–] jdaxe@infosec.pub 8 points 2 months ago

Well, it almost is...

[–] Zozano@lemy.lol 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

His hat reads 45-47

That's wrong. It implies he was the 46th president too.

It should read 45, ~~47~~

What a dumbass.

[–] Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (3 children)

He is such a fucking narcissist, I can actually see him running with his ridiculous claim of the election being stolen, so he thinks 46 is his too. So in his mind he's 45, 46, and 47. I can honestly see him using this idiotic "logic", and his cult lapping it up.

[–] Zozano@lemy.lol 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The other bit of irony is that being the 46th would disqualify him from being the 47th

[–] deo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

wouldn't it be awesome to get a case pushed up to the supreme court or something arguing that trump is ineligible to run for president because he "won" in 2016? it would just so perfectly highlight the hypocrisy of it all

[–] Paragone@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Once he is dictator, 'Rule of Law' is going to be fundamentally-redefined.

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Are these praying hands or a bird looking up ?

[–] Guy_Fieris_Hair@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Then he would still just be 45....

It should actually read 45-34, that's the most accurate version.

[–] Zozano@lemy.lol 1 points 2 months ago

Took me a minute lol

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Are the Commandments on display at any of his properties? Were they on display in the Oval Office when he was in charge? Why do I even bother asking?

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Trump has very high standards, in fact they are so high they are what we call DOUBLE standards.

[–] dogsnest@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

He has 20 commandments he never follows, instead.

[–] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

The rubes he's talking to with this fake tweet will accept what he's saying uncritically like always. So unfortunately you're right, there's no point in asking.

Novembern? Is this Jesus' sneaky way of saying never?

Novembern't

[–] Paragone@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

EVERY time these people push "The 10 Commandments",

hit them with this:

[–] ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

just a reminder: the stormy Daniels thing was about election fraud. It's not illegal to pay someone for sex in some places, but it is illegal to defraud the voting public.

I mean, yes, sex out of wedlock is not an Old Testament sort of thing to do, and it's the right POV for this context.

Just wanting to remind everyone: he's guilty of election fraud.

(I've had someone confused thinking that was what Georgia is about, but that's election interference. I know, they all start to blur together after a while.)

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 7 points 2 months ago

"Accused" adulterer? The fuck? That's a matter of public record.

[–] IzzyScissor@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Convicted felon and sexual assailant* Trump

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago

The guy who literally embodies all of the Seven Deadly Sins "loves" the Ten Commandments.

[–] noevidenz@infosec.pub 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

He thinks the Ten Commandments are a bingo card.

[–] aseriesoftubes@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (6 children)

I would love for an interviewer to ask him to name, like, three of the Commandments.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

He's in the middle of a rosary. His priests advised him not to.

Trump also worships a false idol (money), bore false witness (and keeps getting judgements), steals (doesn't pay for work), doesn't keep the sabbath, covets pretty much everything, and is too chicken shit to commit murder but has called for the death penalty on exonerated people and was recently in the news because while president he wanted his opponents executed.

[–] Nelots@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Somebody needs to tell Trump that his religion expects him to follow the commandments, not break them. Bet he'll feel real silly for mixing that up.

[–] LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It’s not just ‘accused’ anymore

[–] Ashyr@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Legally, we weren’t convicting him of adultery, he’s a convicted felon for trying to hide it in order to subvert the election.

Even though the entire case is predicated on adultery, it is not a legal fact, so they’re covering themselves from a libel lawsuit.

I’m not a lawyer, however, so that’s training from my journalism degree years ago talking. Someone with better knowledge can correct me.

Why wouldn't he love them? He keeps breaking them without repercussions. It's the kinds of laws Trump loves.

But he never lies, NEVER!
YOU'RE THE LIAR!!

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Same energy as him holding that Bible. The people who believe this weren't ever gonna question him anyways.
