National Enquirer or Trump Press Conference?

Post by deacon blues »

This is month old news, but it just occurred to me that some of the information in Trump/Karoline Leavitt press conferences sound like National Enquirer headlines. $50 million in condoms to Gaza? 300 year olds get social security? Aliens clone JFK DNA? Elvis living in Toole? Ok, I made that last one up. :D
Do you see a pattern?
God is Love. God is Truth. The greatest problem with organized religion is that the organization becomes god, rather than a means of serving God.

Same thing, except that the news being invented by the Trump regime is much nastier and far more dangerous.

The outlandish BS is used as cover to implement evil.

They apply real solutions to fake problems. And apply fake solutions to the real problems.

Do you think there will be any mention of Trump at the General Conference?
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

Directly? Not a chance.

In an indirect way where absolutely everyone but Trump supporters can recognize? Possible.
