My hero is Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde who just told the Orange false god โ€” to his face โ€” that the actual God would have wanted more compasion for those in need.

Preach! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป

@randahl don't really get her last sentence. Does she concider Native Americans to be 'once strangers' aswell?
But got to love the bravery she showed and the stupidity on Trumps face.

@Walter8100000 @randahl i thought it was just a reference to Deuteronomy 10:19 ("And you are to love those who are foreigners, for you yourselves were foreigners in Egypt."), but indeed it probably address all the population of the US as once being stranger, making an aside for Native American, who came a lot earlier, and probably before any other humans, would have made the message even harder to hear for trump, she certainly had to keep it simple.

Now, i'm not optimistic it'll make a diffโ€ฆ

@randahl Good camera work focusing on the right people at the right time.

There is one Christian in this video and she is the one speaking. There are many people in this video who claim to be Christians, but donโ€™t believe any of the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth.

@randahl I just watched the #trumpcrimefamily as they listened to her ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป
@RiaResists @randahl Me too! Vance looked at his wife with a frown, but she didnโ€™t look back at him. Trump just slumped down annoyed.
@Doreen32128 @randahl he got schooled ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
And on his big day ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
@RiaResists @randahl It was a bright spot in an otherwise miserable day.
@Doreen32128 @randahl yes! Itโ€™s the only part Iโ€™ve seen & only bc someone shared it here on the Fedi
@randahl what courage. I rejoice.
@randahl I hope it has an effect. He also appears at Bethesda-by-the-Sea in Palm Beach from time to time (also an Episcopal congregationโ€”my home parish incidentally, where I was present for Barronโ€™s baptism back in the day before I was ordained). The rector during his last administration was a friend of mine and he tried to preach sermons that might impact the guy. But he hears what he wants.
@randahl I am one of those people fearing for their lives, I'm leaving the country as soon as I can.
@Grae8672 I am sorry to hear that. And I truly cannot fathom, your fellow Americans would vote for a future with less compassion and understanding.
@randahl This woman is a blessing. May the Lord bless her richly! Thank you Bishop.
@randahl Sadly heโ€™s too narcissistic to care.
@randahl Trump's verdict โ€œNot too exciting, was it. I didnโ€™t think it was a good service. They could do much betterโ€.

@randahl

One cannot expect compassion from evil, but it can be defiedโ€ฆ

And should be. Always.

Trump is a danger to US society and the world.

@randahl and its very telling the orange utang, is demanding apologies...
@randahl
A wonderful, brave speech in front of the biggest bully in the playground.
Weโ€™ll need a lot more people like her to stand up and speak their truth in the time to come. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
@randahl Attending religious services appears to just be another performance to that family. From questions asked after the service, however, he seemed to have listened - and immediately insulted the sermon to minimize its effect.
@randahl He doesn't like it. I can see by the look in his eye.
@randahl this. If only all Christian leaders were so brave
@alstonvicar more will follow, I am sure.
@randahl I hope. You might find this an interesting reflection on her sermon https://substack.com/app-link/post?publication_id=47400&post_id=155393182
The First Sermon

The parts you probably didn't hear

The Cottage
@randahl WOW She is GOOOOD!!
@randahl Shame he just looked bored and disinterested and wasn't nodding in agreement or showing any kind of interest in what she was saying.
@randahl
โ€œWhoever let HER in will sweep the White House floors for a yearโ€
@randahl I'm afraid for her safety ๐Ÿ˜ž

@randahl
Trumplethinskin โ€œdidnโ€™t think it was a good service.โ€

@randahl Waitโ€ฆ. Is this the church and clergy that got tear-gassed for Trumpโ€™s photo op with the upside down and backwards bible?

EDIT: Yes, yes it is.

@randahl awesome-TFG looked uncomfortable.
@randahl
She melted the Golden Crap

@randahl

#Bishop preaches #Trump to his face to be merciful.
Absolute thruth. Not of the #Orwellian #TruthSocial kind.

Same here, Randahl.

I was looking for this Video cut, thanks for providing it.

I've more to say on this, but need to find the time.

#USpol #Religion #Sermon

@randahl I hope she'll be safe. She's receiving huge numbers of threats from people with Trump Grifter Bibles.

@randahl

President Pumkin Vomit told the press later "the so called Bishop was nasty" - then the other Bishops explained why the Bishop was correct and message sacred.

The DOGE Dept. Of Christian Nationalist Thugs later said "Not that Christ"
