    Just a few examples of Trump quotes to dispute Kara's attempt to outdo MTG for Donald butt kissing and "I'll lie and do anything for you" loyalty.

    (March 2023)
    The fundraising page, meanwhile, suggests donations as high as $3,000 to help the twice-impeached and likely soon to be criminally charged former president retake the White House in 2024.

    (April 2023) “If you can chip in, please make a contribution peacefully to SAVE AMERICA.”

    (June 2023) “Please make a contribution to peacefully DEFEND our movement from the never-ending witch hunts – and together, even during these darkest of times, we will prove that our movement is truly UNBREAKABLE."

    (June 2023) Trump appealed to his supporters by declaring the indictment an attack by “the Deep State” on the “forgotten, hardworking men and women of this country”, and asking them to donate to his campaign.

    Current Trump Campaign Website says it all!

    There is no line the radical left will not cross, no low they will not stoop to. Crooked Joe's corrupt DOJ has even Indicated President Trump on federal charges *TWICE* despite committing NO CRIME! But, with YOUR support we will counter their lies and witch hunts at every turn. Check this box to commit your early support to our next End-of Month fundraising blitz.

    Retired Conservative Judge Declares American Democracy ‘In Grave Peril’ Because ‘There Is No Republican Party’

    Retired federal judge J. Michael Luttig assessed that “American democracy is in grave peril” because the GOP is no longer a viable political party with the decay it has experienced under Donald Trump.

    Luttig, a conservative-leaning former judge for the U.S. Court of Appeals, joined CNN This Morning on Wednesday, where he reaffirmed his position that Donald Trump is a threat to democracy, especially as he leads the Republican Party in eroding public trust in America’s institutions. As Luttig reflected on the tragic juncture America faces in a former president being put on trial for his “grave offenses,” Poppy Harlow turned to the fact that Trump continues to dominate the GOP.

    “What do you think has happened to your party?” Harlow asked Luttig.

    His answer:

    Frankly, I don’t care about the Republican Party at all, except to the extent that the two political parties in America are the political guardians of democracy in our country. American democracy simply cannot function without two equally healthy and equally strong political parties. So, today, in my view, there is no Republican Party to counter the Democratic Party in the country. And for that reason, American democracy is in grave peril.

    “There is no Republican Party?” Harlow asked him. Luttig explained by outlining his view that “a political party is a collection, an assemblage of individuals who share a set of beliefs and principles and policy views about the United States of America.”

    “Today there is no such shared set of beliefs and values and principles, or even policy views, within the Republican Party for America,” Luttig determined. “Until or unless the Republican Party can pull itself together into a credible Republican political party, we simply don’t have two competing parties in America.”

    Isn't MTG too old and washed up to be a Prison Groupie?

    I suppose even she will scrounge up a few likes and subscribes from that track.

    Evangelicals Are Now Rejecting 'Liberal' Teachings of Jesus
    BY AILA SLISCO ON 8/9/23 AT 7:17 PM EDT

    An evangelical leader is warning that conservative Christians are now rejecting the teachings of Jesus as "liberal talking points."

    Russell Moore, former top official for the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) who is now the editor-in-chief of Christianity Today, said during an interview aired on NPR's All Things Considered this week that Christianity is in a "crisis" due to the current state of right-wing politics.

    Moore has found himself at odds with other evangelical leaders due to his frequent criticism of former President Donald Trump. He resigned his position with the SBC in 2021 following friction over his views on Trump and a sex abuse crisis among Southern Baptist clergy.

    In his NPR interview, Moore suggested that Trump had transformed the political landscape in the U.S. to the point where some Christian conservatives are openly denouncing a central doctrine of their religion as being too "weak" and "liberal" for their liking.

    "Multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the same story about quoting the Sermon on the Mount, parenthetically, in their preaching—'turn the other cheek'—[and] to have someone come up after to say, 'Where did you get those liberal talking points?'" Moore said.

    "When the pastor would say, 'I'm literally quoting Jesus Christ' ... The response would be, 'Yes, but that doesn't work anymore. That's weak," he added. "When we get to the point where the teachings of Jesus himself are seen as subversive to us, then we're in a crisis."


    Moore went to to say that he did not think it would be possible to "fix" Christianity by "fighting a war for the soul of evangelicalism," urging his concerned brethren to instead fight "small and local" battles like refusing to go along with the current "church culture."

    During an interview with Semafor last month, Moore warned that Trump posed "a unique threat, both to American institutions and to the church's witness." He added that he had provided political and spiritual advice to candidates running against Trump in the 2024 GOP presidential primary.

    Evangelicals are a key voting block for Republicans. Exit polls of the 2020 presidential election indicated that up to 81 percent of white evangelical Protestant voters cast ballots for Trump over then-future President Joe Biden, according to Gallup.

    During an interview on conservative network Real America's Voice in January, Trump lashed out at certain evangelical leaders that he said displayed a "great disloyalty" by being reluctant to back his 2024 presidential run.

    "That's a sign of disloyalty," Trump complained. "There's nobody that did more for the movement than I have. And that includes the movement of evangelicals and Christians and the movement very much of 'right to life.'"

    Trump: Come on now. Jesus hung out with 12 dudes. He was a socialist. I like people who weren't crucified. Sad! 'Liddle Jewy Jesus. I've done more for Christians than he ever did.
