Trump reveals executive order requiring Pam Bondi to prosecute ‘anti-Christian bias'

No freedom of religion without freedom FROM religion.

Resist a theocratic state.

DEI but just for Christians

There's a group of people that go around in white sheets with pointy hats and they burn crosses, often on other peoples property. That seems pretty anti-christian to me and should be the first to be investigated.

the task force will work to fully prosecute anti-Christian violence and vandalism in our society

Yeah, Democrats did this already. They're called Hate Crimes and it's the law. Not a measley little EO.

I have a family member who told me last year that they believe Christians are the most persecuted group in the USA, even more so than gay people.

In truth it was very challenging to stay calm in the face of someone saying something so blatantly biased and false. Packaged as an opinion, of course, but presented as the truth.

I asked questions and challenged some of the statements being made, but I know for a fact that the only thing I accomplished is that she's unlikely to make that particular statement in front of me again. No minds were changed that day. It's just sad.

As someone who actually IS persecuted in this country for things I cannot change about myself, I really don't get why someone would want to live under the delusion that they are being persecuted when they otherwise aren't. It's not fun and there's no benefit to being persecuted.

Good thing I'm not biased against Christians specifically. Fuck all religions equally - fair and balanced.

Can we get a law in place that says if you have to sue the government to stop some obvious bullshit, that you recover your legal fees?

Every time I read something he said it hurts my brain. Everything about his speech patterns is so fucking stupid.

I mean he can sign it, it’s going literally nowhere. But if this ain’t proof that there’s a genuine desire to install a theocracy in the US, then I don’t know what will convince anyone.

The fact that a President even suggests this is a clear tell that some want the US being Iran but with Jesus.

Jesus is pretty cool. You show me a christian who follows jesus' teachings, and I'll have mad respect. You give me some dipshit doing the most anti-christlike shit imaginable, but with crosses all around, and I'll make fun of him forever. Just a way of un-tarnishing the brand.

The Satanic Temple is going to be very busy. Maybe I should make a donation.

Jesus pretty much was a socialist so where does that leave us?

How many EOs does this dickhead have now in these two weeks alone?

How many does a normal president have in a full four year term?

They're gearing up to roll out project 2025.

Anyone wanna get together, publicly, and burn a huge pile of Bibles?

It is funny after years of fighting taliban the US now need to deal with neo-taliban at home.

Didn’t Elon Musk and Michael Flynn just post about how they will stop processing payments to a Lutheran organization?

Let’s start there.

And by "anti-xtian bias" he means, not properly privileging xtianity.

That's what these assholes complaining about xtian "persecution" ALWAYS mean. They hate to be ignored, too. Being told that their rules are FOR THEM and not anyone else in their book club, it absolutely infuriates them.

As a reminder: The guy defending Christianity is a rapist and adulterer who set free 1500 criminals, including pedophiles and child rapists.

If Jesus was real, he would bitch slap Trump so hard it would take the paint off his face!

"To confront such weaponization and religious persecution, today I'm signing an executive order to make our Attorney General, who's a great person — she's going to be a great Attorney General — Pam Bondi the head of a task force, brand new, to eradicate anti-Christian bias," Trump said.

I feel like Trump’s quote here from the article is even worse than the headline suggests.

First is the use of the word eradicate rather than prosecute. It’s a much more dehumanizing tone, as if there a bunch of pests that need to be wiped out.

And second, which is no surprise but is even more worrying, is how much praise he put on Bondi there. That means loyalty to a person rather than to a nation or constitution.

The courts will strike this down as fast as the birthright citizenship thing. Flagrant violation of the Estate Clause

says the fucking antichrist

Thats fine, I'm just as happy being fully "anti-religon" for equality.

How long until living an "anti-Christian" lifestyle is evidence of an anti-Christian bias?

Do they mean the woman he bribed to close an investigation of his scam university? That Pam Bondi?

This from the guy who wouldn’t even put his hand on the bible when being sworn in? I think the prosecutors have somewhere to start.

So we can still be anti christianity as long as our opinions are based on facts?

Awesome. They’ll prosecute liars, thieves and false idols. Finally some good news. Right?

Doesn't this still require specific existing laws (as in actual statutes) to charge someone with violating? Or can they just charge and convict on arbitrary things they don't like, now?

What happened to freedom of religion?

Christian Nationalists wanted their Nazi uprising, they got it.

And the less specific he is in talking about things like this, the more this will be blatantly abused

Fuck Pam Bondi and fuck fascist POS orange idiot! But above all fuck christians...all POS religions for that matter...religion poisons everything! Just imagine how much better off the world would be without the religious BS! What is brown nosing pam going to do with anti christian bias? Punish me for a hate crime? Thought crime? Fuck all religious ideology!

I'm atheist. GFY, you imbecilic mango monkey.

Under his eye. You're all so fucked. Anyone not looking to leave that country is fooling themselves.

It's about time. Those poor christians have always been marginalized in the USA, just like white men who own property. And billionaires. And the 1% in general. When will someone finally think of them?

If you can't read sarcasm in the above, you're too illiterate to be on the internet. Get off the internet.

I think this is a good time to promote a blog and podcast that I like:
