Betty Bowers for the win




"The fact is, no President has ever done what I have done for Evangelicals, or religion itself!"

Jimmy Carter, 95-years-old, looks up from hammering a shingle on a roof for a homeless person, rolls his eyes, and mutters, "Gurl, please . . ."

What's True
More raw votes were cast to impeach President Donald Trump than any other president in history.

What's False
But a larger proportion of votes were cast to impeach President Andrew Johnson in 1868.

4. I had the privilege

of sitting and talking to Jimmy Carter at a social occasion for a half hour.
I had always admired him, but I became totally overwhelmed by his goodness and that he earnestly believed in doing good things for people like habitat....

It was an incredible thing to be able to sit with him casually and just talk.......

His SS people said it was their pleasure to serve on his detail and that he was one of the only people they guarded that treated them like humans. He insisted, where ever he went, that his detail be served the same thing he was eating.....
and always personally thanked them, every day..........

He's exposed them out into the sunshine so everyone can see through their facade of faux religion.....

Many of us already knew, starting for me in the 70s..........

NO One has done more for religion than he has! NO ONE has caused more people to get down on their knees, and say, "Lord God Almighty, in the name of Jesus, DELIVER us from this MORON!*"

It's pretty disheartening to have people think Christians are wingnuts who would put baby Jesus in a cage and deport his family.

And will do it any way he can by lying , and distorting the facts . In reality his claims are almost always the opposite of the truth, and his actions prove it. He's trying to falsely project he's great, and anyone to lazy to look up the facts to discover its not even close for him will learn eventually they were conned. He's by far the most corrupt and evil person we've ever had in our government, and the list of his crimes will be exposed for probably decades .

And he has shown the 21 st Century world the dangerous role that religion can play even in a industrialized "democratic republic".

by changing an animal's brand from the rightful owner to the brand of the thief. Trump uses his running iron to change the brands of RW Christians to his brand.

Yes, RW Christians, your asses now belong to Trump. He does it all the time -- get use to it.
