Definition of "Republicanity"

Republicanity: the calculated melding of the American political right with poorly constructed, spiritually empty Christian theology so that the blind adherent loses track of where one ends and the other begins, thereby (1) fallaciously allowing Republicanism to claim the moral high ground above the Democratic party in all things political and (2) socially demonizing Democratic party members in the process

Trump, Epstein, and Christian Values

In the wake of the Epstein suicide, it didn't take long for Trump to remind us as to how little he knows or cares about the tenets of Christianity.

So, he does this: "Trump promotes Epstein-Clintons conspiracy theory, the latest in a pattern of baseless claims spread by President."

He peddles this baseless, corrupt bullshit quite frequently, yet I'm pretty sure one of the Ten Commandments says this: "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor."  Why, then, does he continue, guiltlessly, to bear false witness against others?  Because he cares only about himself, his power, his image; he cares nothing about supportable truth or basic human decency (or even the biblical commandments).

And for those (including Trump himself) who have forgotten about his conscious disconnection from the truth, here's a little visual reminder into Trump's past:



Yes, he had quite a cozy relationship himself with this billionaire pedophile, the one about whose death Trump is spreading conspiracy theories that link his political enemies to this same man.  Maybe another basic tenet of Christianity would be helpful here:   "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?" (Matthew 7:3)

Christians, it is high time for you to call out his flagrant, shameless, unscrupulous lying and hypocrisy.  Otherwise, you are thoroughly and utterly complicit yourselves.
