Rep. Loudermilk: "When Jesus was falsely accused of treason, Pontius Pilate gave Jesus the opportunity to face his accusers."

1. OMG . . .

seriously?

[Shell_Seas]

2. They are ridiculous.

[Newest Reality]

3. The epitome of ignorance,

from heathens like that is when they mock the essence and meaning of their own religion without even a clue as to what they are doing. And, yes, in this case it is possibly a faux identification with it for practical reasons. The fox is the sheep manager.

Forgive them for they know not what they do? I'll say.

4. Sooooooooooooooo out of touch with reality!

Scary that this is what some of these elected reps believe.

5. If that's the case, he should be wearing a crown of barbed wire, and shouldering a swastika.

11. My Nun said

And I kid you not, that the Nazis broke the ends of the Cross to make the swastika.

[Takket]

6. 2000 year old fables are considered reasonable precident?

[FiveGoodMen]

14. To crazy people who should never be allowed anywhere near the reins of power, yes.

23. a story about an event where no witness to it reports on it

a very trustworthy source

7. After his death, he became King of Kings.

That's just what тя☭м? wants to become so lets help him along.

[blugbox]

19. In that case...

do we celebrate on the day he dies, or do we celebrate three days later when he doesn't come back?

[sdfernando]

21. Celebrate the day he dies

then on the 3rd day when he doesn't come back, piss on his grave!

8. Twitter is having fun with this:

Molly Jong-Fast ✔@MollyJongFast

I remember this from my favorite book of the Bible “Jesus loved the hush money payments."

And who could forget the book of “ Jesus ran a fake university”

And don’t forget the book of “Jesus paintings himself orange before he goes on his reality television program.”

9. if (when) he is impeached

will they then start having crosses made when a figure of a fat corpulent naked Trump nailed to it?

[RainCaster]

10. Not a cross- a hammer & sickle

To denote his true master

[Cartoonist]

12. In that case, Jesus must have had Rudas for a lawyer

[denbot]

13. LoL

[FiveGoodMen]

15. That line must have been typed by the Jetsons' dog Astro

[renate]

16. ? But couldn't he totally come and talk to his "accusers" under oath?

I don't understand the problem.

[blugbox]

25. They are still trying to out the whistleblower. NT

[el_bryanto]

17. I wonder if he is being ridiculous on purpose ?

I don't know - it's such a goofy and poorly thought out argument. Regardless, the point is that if you put forward the idea that any whistleblower should be forced to face the person they accuse, than you basically kneecap the whistleblower protections. That works as long as Republicanoids have the white house - but they probably aren't going to have them forever.

18. Did Jesus ever brag about "grabbing them by the p***y"?

I'm not very religious, but I never heard Jesus say that. Does someone have a biblical reference on this?

20. Is crucifixion a legal punishment for presidential bribery?

I mean after all, rethugs wanted to crucify Bill Clinton for consensual oral sex......

Someone please tell this rethug it's Christmas, not Easter........

Where are all those damned wise men now that we really need them.......

[captdemo]

22. No, you can't legally crucify a president.

Once he leaves office, it might be okay. This is just one of those Justice Department memos that only protects Republican presidents.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

26. I was being quite facetious......

to amplify the absurdity of these Republican's wild and inappropriate statements.

It certainly appears they're getting desperate and may call in exorcists and snake handlers next...

[captdemo]

27. They'll get more than that!

I saw (on a very questionable site) that off-planet aliens might be helping them. Trump has reasons for pushing that Space Force of his. He wants to make America safe again to believe in flying saucer science fiction movies from the 1950's.

[Johonny]

24. I'd like to point out A) The president refused to allow witnesses B) The trial is in the senate

C) There was a defense lawyer at the hearing in the house cross examine witnesses (he did a bad job) D) It's the GOP senators talking about refusing to allow witnesses for the trial.

Besides that, he makes a great point about something, whatever it was.
