Evil flourishes when good men and women do nothing, Bishop Budde stood for good Christian forces, she filled my heart with joy and my soul with the strength to stand for goodness.
What a courageous and necessary plea to give to Trump using his own words. Thank you Bishop Budde. You were amazing! My hope is that you have set the example for how others need to start requesting from him, the things he promised during his campaign! His actions need to match his promises to his supporters. We need the Democratic leadership to step up NOW and demand that he does!
Hard to preach to a soulless man and the soulless lot of MAGA Nuts and Sycophant enablers, blinded and mute by unchecked and ill-gotten power, but kudos to the good Bishop Budde for doing the right thing, speaking on behalf of the less fortunate, with conviction to her faith-based principles that just happen to be consistent with the American Constitution.
That is what real courage looks like. The reaction of Trump and his followers is what weakness looks like. Its game on, and the bishop got the first hit.
Trump and his family being asked for mercy to support good people who are here in the US and working hard for their future well being. Watching them squirm in their seats was great. I support deporting criminals-that is what is lawful. J D Vance, if he was a true Catholic would support the Bishop's position. However, J D is only true to what he is being told by a bunch of puppet masters. Steve-thanks for providing the Fox News and CNN clips-that is so telling of what the MAGA group is being spoon fed. The only way to describe Scott Jennings is a two faced idiot. Several months ago he was Trump lite, now he is so far up Trumps arse, he is getting close behind the Fox News Staff. This is all out of the Nazi playbook. People, be ready to stand up for what is right, because MAGA will not.
Jim, just as an FYI, she is not a catholic bishop. They (females bishops) are not allowed. The Catholics will NEVER do something like this. Think all those SC Justices that are Catholic, which is just about all of them.
In Trump's world, the heretics are those who preach the morality of Jesus Christ, to welcome the stranger, cloth the naked, and feed the hungry, to cast the beam from your own eye before pointing out the speck in your brothers.
Real Christians and real Republicans believe that God chose Trump to guide our nation back to greatness. He has been blessed by mendacious hateful men like Franklin Graham with the divine right of kings to rule our country.
What a terrible state of affairs. What awful people creates and spread the news. Jennings has gone beyond sycophancy to pure evil. He and other supporters of Trump reject Jesus Christ in favor of a bewigged, narcissistic sociopath. I wish I believed in God so I could ask him to help us. But, we need to help ourselves by staying strong enough to continue resisting the darkness that confronts us.
Bishop Budde was magnificent in her humble, quiet way, asking for Mercy, for god's sake -- what else is a real Christian to do, in the face of the evil that trump has spouted since becoming president, and signing despicable pardons, and executive orders denying Constitutional Rights, and THREATENING the people of the United States, whether citizens or undocumented?. I may be atheist now, but I was raised in sane Christianity, and KNOW what Christian thought and teaching from Jesus are. When someone asks for Mercy for others who are scared of the State, it is the purest plea imaginable. I'm glad you said that this is our fight now, not in our children's time -- yes, I'd like to relieve our children from the trouble that trump wants to place upon anyone who is not white, straight, male. I want to make GOOD TROUBLE in my remaining years.
I am thinking on going back and reading Dante’s Inferno again. I read it and was taught the story in high school by one of those public school teachers that conservatives hate. I can match up a lot of MAGA people to the circles of Hell.
Thank you for the Fox and CNN clips. I had no idea what I was missing (I don't pay attention to either of those media outlets). They go a long way in explaining the mass stupidity this country has shown. The sheer evil of the Fox talking heads is stunning. I had no idea that CNN would allow such a deluded person as Scott Jennings on the air. Appalling.
Bishop Budde's sermon was spot on, and people that call themselves Conservative doubled down to demonize her. I can't figure out how these people can think of themselves as moral. They aren't going to Heaven - of that I'm sure. It makes me wonder how awful Americans have to get before they recoil at their own actions - can it go for four years?
When you make the Elon salute, do you need to scrunch up your face like he does?

We must follow her example and action.
WTG Bishop!❤️💪💪

I hope the message from the Bishop reached the ears of many maga. I'm sure some of them will be reached by it. I hope so.
I doubt that any of them will. They've had way more than ample time to come to, despite the many warnings of things to come.
Trump: "How dare you ask me to be kind to American citizens? I'm an asshole and I will always be an asshole. Don't tell me to stop being an asshole!"
It. Took. A. Woman. To. Stand. Up. To. Trump. Our elected "representatives" in Congress should take lessons!!!! This is what it takes.
So maybe we should be asking our representatives to show as much courage as Bishop Budde. Your thoughts?
The Dems leaders should ask reporters (for the reporters to ask Donald directly):
"You go ask him. Why did he say this? Only a hateful shitass would say this."
"You go ask him. Why did he do this? Only a spiteful jerk would do this."
"Why did he harm millions of MAGAs by increasing their medicine costs?"
Etc.
That was my first reaction and I should have included that. The way you wrote it made it stand out with a stronger effect. Kudos!

I loved this Bishop who didn’t let such a golden opportunity pass her by to “preach the gospel” to one who needed to hear it most. God bless her!

Steve, thank you, for the warnings.

His saying that mercy was un-Christian. Truly the antiChrist.
There was nothing outrageous about what the bishop said - just basic human decency. Steve - would you please run for office. We need your fire!
Exactly what I think Holly! Steve should run. He is the voice of reason through this difficult time!
The Bubonic Plague might be the next phase. I keep forgetting it has only been two days.
I am thinking on going back and reading Dante’s Inferno again. I read it and was taught the story in high school by one of those public school teachers that conservatives hate. I can match up a lot of MAGA people to the circles of Hell.
I think I've heard or read that hell is timeless. Or maybe, it's just "people are saying".

Scot Jennings-a rude and ignorant, hateful asshole CNN should fire.
Laura Ingram-another hateful fox moron
Sean Hannity- the same suck-up he always was.
Those people arre lost, and they're trying to drag us with them. Don't let them.
