He called her a radical left Trump hater. Like Jesus wasn't radical left and pretty sure he would've hated Trump too. But I guess that tracks since some right wingers are calling Jesus's teachings weak. I'm surprised they haven't called him "woke" yet.
"Politicizing religion"
Oh the irony
he literally signed bibles like he's the fucking author despite not having read a single word of it. not a single word. when they asked him if there was any part of the Bible he liked he couldn't say anything. not even "the lord is my shepherd", just blank.
to be fair though if he uttered any of the words he would probably catch on fire
"Politicizing Religion"?
Did she publish her own personal bibles or have the military take over a church for a photo-op?
How dare a priest call for compassion towards others. Jesus would be outraged.
She just asked for him to show mercy. How is that hurting anyone's feeling? What a snowflake.
You should know that asking trump to show mercy is almost as cruel as asking a legless person to stand.
politicizing religion
Republicans are fine with it as long as religious leaders agree with them.
That's why they love the smaller evangelical churches, there's no higher authority and plenty of grifters who will always back them in return for "donations".
They want to lead a religion, not be told what they're doing isn't religious.
From the maker of the Trump Bible.
And yet his diplomat wants give Israel the Westbank based on the bible
Her church is your church you moron.
They want to deport her for hurting his feelings.
Deport her where? Honestly these people allegedly so freedom of speech are such snowflakes.
Doesn't matter. First step would be an immigration detention facility. If there's no country to deport her to, she just stays there, I guess. And while she's there, might as well dig a hole, build a wall, or assemble furniture or something to cover the cost of housing her or some shit.
immigration detention facility
I think we can go ahead and call them concentration camps at this point. That's what they will build on those 1400 acres in Texas, and that's how they'll be used. Convenient bureaucratic mix-ups will enable them to contain immigrants, targeted minorities and political opponents.
Sounds familiar :(
It’s code for death camps.
Looks like she is from New Jersey originally? I guess being banished to new jersey is biblically accurate if you consider the movie Dogma to be canon.

Hm, Putting people that openly criticise the party on "a list". Where have I heard this before?
Genuinely scary.
It also happened in the 50s with people the USA government decided it didn’t like the thoughts and statements of. Ruined a lot of lives.
That shows how ignorant they all are, because according to Wikipedia she was born in New Jersey. So it's telling that "deportation" is the first place they go whenever someone says something they don't like.
They know.

I'm so glad the government isn't trying to control speech now that Biden is out.
sigh
Does he need a safe space for his snowflake ego?
If only he was in a retirement home where he should be
Or a jail cell.
Remember when Jesus apologized to the Romans about politicizing religion?
Jesus also said to pay your taxes, and was super against charging interest for loans....
It changed to "don't charge Christians interest" to "charge everyone interest" over the years as the wealthy kept re-writting the Bible.
Then there's the stuff about taking care of the poor and sick, which also isn't a priority anymore.
It's why I hate when Christians say they're forced to be anti-LGBTQ due to their religion, but never fight for the stuff their religion says to do to help people. They just want to use religion as a sword, never a shield.
I still go back to Jesus’s golden rule: do unto others as you would have done to you.
He says that rule sums up all of his teachings.
You can 100% be Christian and treat LGBTQ people with respect. In fact, I’m pretty sure that’s what Jesus would want. You don’t even have to read the whole bible to know that, that’s Jesus’ own cliff notes version!
Organized religions that for thousands of years oppressed people will read the bible as they may, but you’re not a Christian if you don’t recognize the new covenant and hear Jesus words.

Trump dismissed the service as “boring” and accused Budde of politicizing religion.
BWAHAHAHAHA ah yes, after thousands of pristine years of religion being apolitical, all it took was one woman with the balls to speak truth to power and now it's been besmirched forever.
All it took is for one woman to say "have mercy" because that sentiment could only be political and was never part of Christianity.
Politicizing... If he projects any harder he's going to start burning shit with his eyeballs like god damn cyclops.
I don't give a rat's ass about religion, any of them. I also applaud that woman's bravery.
He's trying to steal our rights, his petty bullshit is just distraction
To be honest she's probably lucky this is week one and not a year in, when Trump would have her shot as an enemy of the president and criminal of the state.
Yup, anyone who disagrees with Trump about treating people like garbage is a radical leftist. Sounds about right. I'm so siked for a decade of this.
Fuck your feelings, snowflake.
I think that's the typical magat response when someone's offended, right?
Awwww, Trump is one special snowflake who cannot take criticism
Hey, Donald. Shut the fuck up.
