Donald Trump posing with Jerry Falwell Jr. and his family at Mar-a-Lago. On Thursday, Falwell tweeted, I told the crowd at the Palm Beach GOP Christmas/Hanukkah party tonight that I predict the 2020 election will be Hiroshima and Nagasaki for the Dems!

What a sick fuck, especially at a Christmas/Hanukkah party. No wonder people are abandoning religion in droves.

I submit that it was Trump who was "posing", while Jerry was being his authentically nasty self.

(11,885 posts)When everyone knows it'll be much much worse than the mid terns were for the russians , trump , and the republicans. They tried this stunt before the mid terms too and it didn't pan out so well for them either. putin, trump and the GOP are looking at losing all control of the White House , Senate , and House , and better think about that before they vote, or promote any more of putins propaganda for him. The American people are close;y watching them , and don't believe their paid for poll numbers they've gotten corruptly.

(82,849 posts)'Tis a curious phenomenon. I know why the Republicans would like to forget about 2018, but I don't know why the popular media keep eliding over it, unless they're just trying to gin up their standard-issue horse race scenario.

(7,947 posts)Trump has that loony "I don't know where I am, but everyone look at me" smile of his. His right eye is-- as so often these days-- almost shut.
I don't see Jerry Jr.'s poolboy there in the picture! And is his wife wearing a leather dress? Skin tight? At Christmas?
Sorry-- Trump brings out the cattiness in me. And those "Christians" as the Falwells call themselves-- I think Jesus would have called them "Philistines."

Dark Side of Rev. Moon: Buying the Right
By Robert Parry
Excerpt...
Left unmentioned in the happy sermon was the identity of the bigger guardian angel who had been protecting Falwell's financial interests -- from a distance and without publicity. That secret benefactor was the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, the self-proclaimed South Korean messiah who is controversial with many fundamentalist Christians because of his bizarre Biblical interpretations and his brainwashing tactics that have torn thousands of young people from their families. Moon also has grown harshly anti-American in recent years.
Covertly, Moon helped bail out Liberty University through one of his front groups which funnelled $3.5 million to the Reber-Thomas Christian Heritage Foundation, the non-profit that had purchased the school's debt.
I discovered this Moon-Falwell connection while looking for something else: how much Moon's Women's Federation for World Peace had paid former President George Bush for a series of speeches in Asia in 1995. I obtained the federation's Internal Revenue Service records but discovered that Bush's undisclosed speaking fee was buried in a line item of $13.6 million for conference expenses.
There was, however, a listing for a $3.5 million "educational" grant to the Christian Heritage Foundation. A call to the Virginia corporate records office confirmed that the foundation was the one run by Reber and Thomas.
In a subsequent interview, the Women Federation's vice president Susan Fefferman confirmed that the $3.5 million grant had gone to "Mr. Falwell's people" for the benefit of Liberty University. "It was Dan Reber," she said. But she could not recall much else about the grant, even though it was by far the largest single grant awarded by the federation that year.
Continues...

This kind of super-heated rhetoric will predictably inspire the sick assholes who worship His Majesty Trump.
