All This Religiosity Would Gag A Rat. Get Ready For Proselytizing 24/7.

Religion is going to be injected by force into the public discourse and public commons whether we like it or not. The religious right is really and truly a threat to democracy and well being of this country.

While I love the idea of a T45 resignation/firing, the idea of a P46 gives me the heebie jeebies. Not only because he is such a religious freak but because the repukes in Congress would have no problem working with him. 2018 may be the most important election in the history of this country. One way or the other D's have to take back either the House or the Senate - otherwise it's game over.

Religion and its conceits have long overstayed their welcome. Buh-bye time is here.

Rather than a "Christian nation" our country was founded on the principle of separating church and state, with the central idea being the right of governance came from the people and not some make believe sky daddy. While this might seem like a no-brainer today, at the time it was quite literally revolutionary.

Is an Evangelical Dominionist that welcomes the "Apocalypse ".

So, maybe impeaching Trump isn't such a good idea, after all.

people being told to leave their homes NOW, people being rescued or drowning, people losing everything they own and they get together for a prayer meeting complete with whooping and hollering and clapping and more whooping? I bet Jesus was proud.

BTW, if Pence lets go of Mother does he fall over?
