It is easy to confuse the two. They both look like Barbie dolls. Even Trump seems to mix them up sometimes. At least when it comes to who he wants to have sex with.

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's easy to tell if all 3 are together. Melania will be the one looking at him with disgust.

 

 

I think you'll find the right word is loathing..

Simon and Garfunkel had it almost right:

 

'And the people bowed and prayed

 

To the neon god they made...'

 

It just needs a small update to make it more appropriate for modern times:

 

'And the people bowed and prayed

 

To the TV god they'd made...'

 

 





Trump crowned? No faux King way!

Melania wants to celebrate "no Christmas" in her own way


With the recent appointment of Supreme Court Justices, and continued COVID virus disaster, she may have "The Handmaid's Tale" theme in mind

I think with the shade of orange he goes for they were correct with "neon".

Variety: Health Agency Scraps Ad Campaign That Promised Santa Claus Performers Early COVID-19 Vaccine

Santa Claus is coming to town… with supposed early access to the COVID-19 vaccine.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Trump administration official Michael Caputo wanted performers who portray Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus and elves to lend their talents to a coronavirus-related ad campaign meant to promote the benefits of the eventual vaccine. In return, the official offered them early access to the vaccine, ahead of the general public. The campaign was funded by $250 million in taxpayer money.

On Friday, the Department of Health and Human Services announced that the campaign would be canceled, and it is now under review by the department. The decision comes as coronavirus cases continue to spike across the U.S., making the possibility of a vaccine before the holiday season unlikely.

Chairman of the Fraternal Order of Real Bearded Santas, Ric Erwin, told the Wall Street Journal that the news was “extremely disappointing” to Santa performers. “This was our greatest hope for Christmas 2020, and now it looks like it won’t happen,” Erwin added.

Caputo — an HHS assistant secretary who is now on medical leave — told Erwin over the phone in August that the COVID-19 vaccine would likely be approved by mid-November and distributed to frontline workers by Thanksgiving.

The goal of the Santa-led ad campaign was to “defeat despair, inspire hope and achieve national recovery,” as reported by the Wall Street Journal. The campaign had plans for ads to run on television, radio, online and on podcasts. The Santas were also said to appear at vaccine rollout events across 35 cities.

Just saw an interesting link to a writeup Could American Evangelicals Spot the Antichrist?, which points out all the biblical references to Trump (assuming you go for that sort of thing). The answer to the question asked in the writeup is, obviously, "no way".

Not to get to wrapped up in a religious discussion, but there a debate about how many anti-Christs are mentioned in the Bible. The Bible has been re-translated many times. Many of the "anti-Christ" references could be interchangeable with the term "false messiahs".

I'd shudder to think over how many people have been killed over "My messiah is the correct one, Your messiah is the false one, so I have to kill you now."

Much of the Bible quotes in the article is from Revelation (not plural). Revelation, for those who don't know, it's written like someone on a bad psychedelic trip. If you understand Revelation's original intent, you're really in need of a mental professional's help.

And there's some "duh" material in the article, such as the anti-Christs would be powerful and be able to bring destruction. They wouldn't be much a threat otherwise.

But having said that Trump could easily be broadly considered a false messiah.

I've said before and I'll say it again: Trump may not be The Antichrist, but he is as anti-everything Christ ever stood for as anyone who has ever lived. He is the walking embodiment of everything that Christ preached against: he's a liar, a braggart, a thief, a sexual assaulter, cares about nothing except what benefits him... It's all been said before. And, as @kingdragonfly says, he also has the slimy charm to make himself into a false messiah, at least to a certain type of person.

 

In related news, Rupert Murdoch is Satan's Minister for Public Information.

The only way he would be "sent to us" would be to trigger the start of the Apocalypse. And some of those "Evangelicals" are going to be really disappointed when they wake up on Earth the morning after the Rapture.

 

I mean, look at his face in that photo. There's no respect there. He's struggling not to grin.
