Oh, the blasphemy: A prosperity gospel preacher compares Trump to Jesus

 Donald Trump is not a Christian. Never has been. He pretends to be one to do what he does best, grift his supporters dry.

The last two days have provided us with irrefutable proof, unless you're a MAGA supporter, willfully ignorant of the truth, of this.

On Tuesday, it was reported that Trump is building a "library" in Miami that looks more like a shrine to his overinflated ego, complete with a golden statue in his likeness.

Exodus 32, anyone?

Do the 10 Commandments ring any bells?

The literacy-challenged Trump won't set foot in a church unless he needs to, but he's got enough Christian pastors, mostly the prosperity gospel variety, committing blasphemy by supporting this fraud.

On Wednesday, televangelist Paula White-Cain, wife of Journey keyboard player Jonathan Cain, and an advisor to Trump since 2002, compared Orange Judas to Jesus Himself.

If that golden eagle statue doesn't give away Trump's true motives, what does?

Mrs. Cain drew parallels between the legal issues Trump faced in between terms, a pair of assassination attempts in the last couple of years, and the trials Jesus faced in the New Testament.

Yeah, sure, tell another tall tale.

If anything, Trump is the diametric opposite of Jesus. Selfish instead of selfless. He continues to con the evangelicals and the prosperity gospel types, right along with the rest of the marks, and this is even after he's been on the record stating he's not even sure he's actually going to Heaven.

Spoiler alert: unless he actually has an epiphany that prompts him to publicly accept Jesus as his Savior, his afterlife is trending in the opposite direction. This latest dog & pony show is a distraction from everything else.

News flash: God doesn't like being mocked. Trump will discover the reality of that in due course.

Trading places: Joan Rivers hosts Hollywood Squares (1988)

 From season 2 of The New Hollywood Squares:

During the course of this iteration's three year run (1986-9), producer Rick Rosner was looking for a theme for April Fool's Day.

Well, I've spoiled it already. Joan Rivers swaps places with John Davidson for the day, although it seems Shadoe Stevens didn't get the memo.......!

Nearly 40 years later, Shadoe is heard at the end of this video, as he's now the announcer for the Game Show Vault channel.

During the course of the run, Shadoe and Jm J. Bullock each took turns filling in for Davidson, although, in those cases, Davidson was on vacation. Howard Stern filled Shadoe's cubicle the week Stevens filled in.

No joke: Four judges rule against president Trump on four different cases

 While today is April Fool's Day, president Donald John Pinocchio Trump thinks every day is April Fool's Day, since he deceives his base so, so much.

That being said, it shouldn't surprise anyone that the oldest baby in America is whining that he can't build his precious ballroom at the White House after a judge told him he had overstepped his bounds.

Judge Richard Leon, a George W. Bush appointee, ruled Tuesday that Trump had overstepped his authority by destroying the East Wing of the White House last year, just so he could have a ballroom, even though, if memory serves, the East Wing had a ballroom in it, in the first place.

Trump's argument, baseless as usual, is that he doesn't need Congressional approval for any of his vanity projects.

"WAAAHHHHH! I can do whatever I want! WAAAHHHHH!"

No, you can't. He has raised millions of dollars from donors willing to flatter the Orange Ego to get on his good side. He's a professional grifter, you idiots. Judge Leon sided with the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Now, you know that Trump doesn't like being told, "no", on anything. The White House is not his personal property, unlike the land he owns in New York, Palm Beach, etc.. He had no right to destroy the East Wing, just to satisfy a fever dream of his. He wants Mar-a-Lago North, but watch. Once he's out of office, the ballroom, if it's completed at all, will either be torn down, or reconfigured into the new East Wing, and put to better use.

Judge Timothy Kelly declined a bid from Team Pampers to dismiss a suit which claims resident quack Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and the Department of Health & Human Services broke the law by declining Freedom of Information Act requests.

"WAAAAH! What we do is on a need to know basis, and you don't need to know until we tell you. WAAHHH!"

The cuts to DHHS happened a year ago, challenged by CREW (Citizens for Responsibility & Ethics in Washington). The suit is going forward, meaning more whining from Trump is coming.

Judge Randolph Moss said that Trump could not terminate funding for PBS & National Public Radio, stating that it violates the 1st Amendment. The executive order, signed in May is unconstitutional, and has been permanently blocked. Fans of PBS & NPR are rejoicing.

Finally, Judge Amit Mehta is allowing a suit connected to the 1/6/21 riots to move forward. You'll recall that Trump tried to claim presidential immunity, but, as a beaten incumbent candidate, he has no immunity.

"WAAAHHH! I was screwed! WAAAAH!"

No, you weren't, you pathetic sore loser. Your mishandling of COVID cost you the election. Five years later, we have to tell you again to get over it, but you won't listen. If you'd won, you wouldn't be in Washington right now.

With the onset of old age comes the knowledge that Trump just refuses to read anything. Blame it on his ego, and how he was raised, knowing it will lead to his final downfall.

Musical Interlude: Tie a Yellow Ribbon (1973)

 Tony Orlando & Dawn appeared on the Dick Clark produced Rockin' The Palace in 1973, performing the #1 smash, "Tie a Yellow Ribbon".

Dunce Cap Award: Just Dumb Vance

 Oh, this is just too easy.

Vice President Just Dumb Vance was interviewed by conservative garbage dispenser Benny Johnson on Saturday, and, well, he stamped his idiot card by claiming aliens are demons.

"I don't think they're aliens. I think they're demons, anyway, but that's a longer discussion.", Vance told Johnson. 

According to reports, Vance wants to go to Area 51, but more pressing matters always get in the way. Well, DUH!!

Oh, if only he knew how stupid he really is.

Seems to me that Vance and his boss, President Pampers, have gotten into Dumb Donald II's secret stash, if you know what I mean. The elder Trump claimed last month that he would direct US agencies to start looking into identifying and releasing government files on aliens & extraterrestrials. Oh, please. 

Trying to tie any of this to Christian faith is meant to keep the evangelicals snowblind to reality. It's just another distraction, but if Vance is looking for life on other planets, maybe this helps:

And, then, after this aired in 1987, Miller and its ad agency went back to the well, but without Rodney Dangerfield and friends.

We checked with an expert:

"What we have is proof that our government has forgotten what intelligent life really is."

So true, so you know what Vance is getting:

Considering how many the Trump men have, they can spare one for Vance.

Wartime Mondays: The series premiere of Victory at Sea (1952)

 The delusional old man in the White House thinks the conflict he started in Iran will "end soon". Ever hear of poking the bear, Mr. President? I doubt that very, very seriously.

Allow us, then, to give you a primer, starting with the 1st episode of Victory at Sea, "Design For War", from 1952.

In 2 weeks, the lighter side of war with another episode of McHale's Navy.

The ultimate in trolling: Donald Trump is putting his signature on US currency

 The White House frames it as part of America's 250th birthday celebration. Yeah, right.

Let's just call it for what it is. Donald Trump, in order to feed his ego, is putting his signature on American currency, starting with the $100 bill, in June. It is an ego-driven trolling of the country that, depending on who you talk to, either worships him like he's a false god, or is disgusted by his self-serving megalomania and egomania.

In other words, folks, he's trolling all of us because he wants to take credit for the US turning 250. Because he has surrounded himself with sycophants unwilling to arouse his anger, although he loses his temper on a daily basis by just watching TV, Trump has no resistance, just support from morons like Scott Bessent and Steven Cheung.

Speaking of trolling.....

"He's actually giving trolls like me a bad name."

Irwin Troll is a supporting character from the long running comic strip, Broom-Hilda. He's someone you'd want to have over for dinner. Trump? Not so much. He's bigfooted someone else's funeral so he could air out his imagined grievances. He's addicted to attention as much as he is to junk food.

As usual, Trump is ignoring traditional protocols, as he signed an executive order to put his signature on the bills. In addition, the phoniest Christian on Earth is also have a special coin made with his picture on it, which would be the modern equivalent of a graven image, something God would not accept or endorse.

While these bills will still be in circulation after he leaves office, whomever replaces Trump will ensure there won't be any more. Trust me on that. If you're a Christian, and you voted for this charlatan at least twice or all three times, you may need to repent daily for a while.

It's only going to get worse before it gets better.
