American Reprobate
Do not underestimate how far Trump and his Flying Monkeys will go to win in November! They will try to rig the election!
Trump’s cult members are hiding behind Christian Nationalism. This guy is one of them. Russell Vought, the hard-right Christian nationalist who is drafting plans for a second Trump term. Take a minute and read his bio on Wikipedia.
These people do not practice any of Jesus’ teachings! John Fugelsang, whose father was a Franciscan Friar and his mother was a nun, knows the Bible and all of Jesus’ teachings and calls them out on his podcast for their hypocrisy!
It’s a damn shame that so many of our fellow Americans have bought into their evil ideology.
On June 6th we honored our American Military who fought to protect and defend our democracy and our country against tyranny! Nothing Trump has said infuriates me more than when he called our fallen heroes Losers and Suckers! They gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country to protect his and our freedoms!
Trump will always be a no good heartless man who has taken what our country has afforded him and turned it against us!
Benjamin Franklin was walking out of Independence Hall after the Constitutional Convention in 1787, when someone shouted out, “Doctor, what have we got? A republic or a monarchy?” To which Franklin supposedly responded, with a rejoinder at once witty and ominous: “A republic, if you can keep it.”
Isn’t it ironic that the Republicans are willing to wreck our Republic in order to regain control of our government?
From the Atlantic : Citing anonymous officials from the Trump administration, the 2020 article by The Atlantic, titled, "Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are 'Losers' and 'Suckers'," unpacked Trump's trip to Paris in 2018 when he allegedly did not want to visit a cemetery of American war dead. The visit was cancelled. Trump did not want to visit the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery — which is home to the graves of Americans who fought and died in World War I — for two reasons,The Atlantic continued (emphasis ours):
Trump rejected the idea of the visit because he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain, and because he did not believe it important to honor American war dead, according to four people with firsthand knowledge of the discussion that day. In a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit, Trump said, "Why should I go to that cemetery? It's filled with losers." In a separate conversation on the same trip, Trump referred to the more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood as "suckers" for getting killed.
Heather Cox Richardson’s Substack on June 6th was an amazing piece of history and of President Biden’s appreciation speech for what our military and our country along with the military of our Allies sacrificed to preserve our freedoms.
Here is a short clip of Heather’s remarks: please read her entire 6/6/24 Substack if you have the time. It’s worth your while!
Echoing FDR’s chat about the fall of Rome, Biden attributed D-Day’s success to ordinary people. “Every soldier who stormed the beach, who dropped by parachute or landed by glider; every sailor who manned the thousands of ships and landing craft; every aviator who destroyed German-controlled air fields, bridges, and railroads—all—all were backed by other brave Americans, including hundreds of thousands of people of color and women who courageously served despite unjust limitations on what they could do for their nation,” Biden said.
The story of the veterans “has always been the story of America,” Biden said. “Just walk the rows of this cemetery…. Nearly 10,000 heroes buried side by side, officers and enlisted, immigrants and native-born. Different races, different faiths, but all Americans. All served with honor when America and the world needed them most.”
Of course the GOP will try to rig the election in November just like they have been going with gerrymandering and voter suppression.
