Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Wouldn't an omnipotent God have the power to stop things from happening that they didn't want to happen?

Something something mysterious ways! Checkmate!

Yep. Which obviously means either God isn't omnipotent, or God doesn't want to help Trump, or God is just a construct made by simpletons to explain complex concepts of the universe.

Every time one of the Trump prophets has been called out for a false prophecy, they blame 4th grade level word games, or just get really angry, or both.

And they are only getting more popular.

Many of these people believe that satan and/or demons literally, literally, have inhabited the bodies of ... basically all their political opponents, anyone who does anything bad to Trump.

There is an entire movement of preachers on places like rumble who went completely bonkers after prophesying that Trump would win.

These people already believed in a whole lot of Q Anon nonsense, and now it has morphed into Trump as the next David, the US as the true holy land, and near daily hate tirades from God, spoken from these prophets, to millions of apparently sub room temp IQ followers.

They have weaved Trump into Christianity and basically formed an entire new theology based around him.

I would be entirely unsurprised if they declare an actual holy war at some point.

God I wish Trump had died from Covid.

There was no way the physicians at Walter Reed would let a president die from covid. They had him pumped full of every conceivable steroid, anti-viral cocktail, and stimulant known to man.

They had him pumped full of every conceivable steroid, anti-viral cocktail, and stimulant known to man.

And that was before COVID.
