Our president in the midst of Holy Week.

“All hell will reign down” (not “rain,” because he's senile and has a low IQ.)

“Glory be to GOD!,” as if 1) the Bible suggests waging war is what God commanded, and 2) the US is attacking Iran for religious values and not oil prices.

Many Christians find this man godly—a violent, criminal, faithless, uncharitable, immoral man who treats faith as a tool for manipulating propaganda.

@greg_r How's Brexit working out for you? 🙄

Never quite sure what someone pointing out "he's your president" to someone who clearly opposes him is trying to say. It's not as if the UK has a recent tradition of electing the most capable and ethical people.

@augieray I’m a Scot and we voted to remain in Europe. Now Starmer is cosying up to Europe, we will likely be more in than out of the EU before Scotland becomes independent. And the point is that your country voted him in and just like hopeless PMs in the UK we have to live with them until they’re out.

@greg_r Way to miss the point. I live in a state that didn't vote for Trump, yet you made the point Trump is my president. So, you still own Brexit, by that same logic.

My point is that your reply is unhelpful. It might give you a sense of smugness and snark, but it's mighty unhelpful.

@augieray Trump is your president in the same way Starmer is our PM when Scotland did not vote for him. (In the same way we were stuck with Thatcher and other Tory PMs over the years) We will escape this union one day, hopefully sooner rather than later, but there seems to be no escape for those like you who didn’t support Trump. Btw there was no intention of snark.
