10. You Have To Give Republicans The Edge Because They Think Trump Is Racist God
Mon Jan 4, 2021, 09:53 PM

...and while I think Democrats strongly believe in their cause and will turnout, this is not exactly a religious experience, but an act of political expression for most folks. Indeed, every crime that Trump commits is just another chance for Republicans to demonstrate their faith and willingness to sacrifice so that they can enter the racist paradise that he promises. Can you imagine if David Koresh had a multi-billion media companies competing to be his propaganda outlet of choice?

'God's used imperfect people all through history': Perry shares why he thinks Trump is the 'chosen one'


Energy Secretary Rick Perry said in an interview that he told President Donald Trump that he was God's "chosen one" to lead the United States, just as he chose the kings to lead Israel in the Old Testament.

Perry, who will reportedly soon be leaving the Cabinet, explained that nothing in the universe is accidental and that God "is still very active in the details of the day-to-day lives of government."

"Barack Obama didn't get to be the president of the United States without being ordained by God. Neither did Donald Trump," he said in a Fox News interview that aired Sunday, adding that God has used "individuals who aren't perfect all through history."

"King David wasn't perfect. Saul wasn't perfect. Solomon wasn't perfect. And I actually gave the president a little one-pager on those Old Testament kings about a month ago," Perry said.
