On the contrary, if Trump
had been President, he would have banged in the nails personally.

Trump would have had HIM come to the Oval Office and tell HIM he should be grateful that the President is talking to HIM at all. That Trump could do his miracles better and there would have been no crucifixion if Trump had been the Son of God. And Trump's son Baron was a better son.

EDIT: And that, Jesus Christ, doesn't have the cards or the suffering of the Jewish people despite actually observing Passover and being Jewish.

Here’s what Utah voters say about Trump’s job performance​


The U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported a little more than 11,000 apprehensions at the border last month. This is much less compared to the nearly 189,360 apprehensions in March 2024, under former President Joe Biden.

After Trump’s very active first few months back in the White House, do Utahns think Trump is doing a good job?

Despite being a red state, Utah is divided on Trump’s job performance. A slight majority, 54%, said they somewhat or strongly approve of what Trump has done so far, and 42% disapprove, while 5% said they don’t know.

Former Hegseth aide in op-ed: 'Total chaos at the Pentagon'​


WASHINGTON — An aide to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth published an op-ed Sunday in which he was highly critical of his former boss and suggested that President Donald Trump might soon remove Hegseth following weeks of turmoil, including leaked texts about airstrikes in Yemen and the abrupt firings of top officials.

“It’s been a month of total chaos at the Pentagon,” John Ullyot, who had been a top spokesman at the Pentagon before leaving his job there last week, wrote in Politico. “From leaks of sensitive operational plans to mass firings, the dysfunction is now a major distraction for the president — who deserves better from his senior leadership.

“President Donald Trump has a strong record of holding his officials to account. Given that, it’s hard to see Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth remaining in his position for much longer.”

Ullyot: “[E]ven strong backers of the secretary like me must admit: the last month has been a full-blown meltdown at the Pentagon — and it’s becoming a real problem for the administration.”



If only President Trump held himself to the same high standards that he holds for the members of his administration.

Trump’s Easter Message Focuses on Grievances, Omits Core Themes of the Holiday​


Notably absent from his message were any references to Jesus Christ, the cross, the resurrection, forgiveness, peace, or joy — the traditional hallmarks of Easter celebrations. Instead, his statement read more like a political screed than a spiritual reflection.

Trump’s message targeted a range of familiar foes, including President Biden, migrants at the U.S. border, judges overseeing his legal cases, and even members of law enforcement. In his characteristically combative tone, he accused them of corruption, dishonesty, and betrayal. At times, the message veered into self-promotion, with Trump portraying himself as a victim of persecution and a savior of the nation.

In a time of national and global unrest, many Americans looked to Easter for a message of peace and renewal. What they got from Trump was a reminder of the deep divisions still roiling the nation — and a missed opportunity for healing on one of the holiest days of the Christian calendar.

For a man who is backed by so many Christian elements in the US this was NOT a very Christian message. You also have to wonder when, if ever, Joe Biden, can no longer be blamed for troubles in the United States and Trump takes responsibilities for any issues that happen to the US.

Trump will only stop blaming Biden when he finds another more profitable target to blame.

Dissolving the Supreme Court will mean a dictatorship won't it?

Another thing. Whenever anyone posts a Trump tweet equivalent, I always wonder if @Ernest has hacked his account.
of course you're not thick. it's the silly rhetoric from people supposedly believing in democracy and due process that are being thick. President has no power to dissolve supreme court, the whole point of the US constitution is to prevent that sort of action, specifically to avoid a "monarch", by having seperation of powers between President, Congress and judiciary. clearly this person doesn't actually understand what a dictatorship means.

But HE is the saviour of America so no need to mention the previous one called Jesus.

As a precautionary measure, I’d like to preemptively announce that I have not at any point received war plans or classified information from Pickled Pete Hegseth.

Seems every other bugger has.

Borrowed from a Catholic friend's Facebook page:

On Easter Sunday 2025, two men addressed the world. One had trouble breathing, the other had trouble shutting up. One clung to life long enough to offer a final blessing. The other clung to grievance like a toddler with a toy he’d already broken. And in the space between their words—between grace and bile, between resurrection and resentment—we found the chasm that defines this era.
THE LAST BLESSING
Pope Francis, just days before his death, emerged onto the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica with the breath of a dying man and the spirit of a giant. Unable to read his own Urbi et Orbi address, he still insisted on standing before the faithful, waving to the crowd, blessing children, offering joy.
“Brothers and sisters, Happy Easter!” he said.
“All of us are children of God.”
His message, read aloud on his behalf, pleaded for peace in Gaza, Ukraine, Myanmar, and Congo. He called for aid instead of arms, compassion instead of cruelty. He asked the world not to close its doors to migrants and those in need.
He died the next day.
This is what courage looks like. This is what faith sounds like. And this is what a final sermon should be: selfless, human, hopeful.
THE PETTY TYRANT’S PARADE
Meanwhile, across the Atlantic and deep inside his own echo chamber, President Donald Trump spent Easter Sunday spraying venom on Truth Social like a skunk with a grudge.
His opening post tried for warmth:
“Melania and I would like to wish everyone a very Happy Easter!”
But the illusion didn’t last. Soon came the bile:
“Happy Easter to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics who are fighting and scheming so hard to bring Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners, the Mentally Insane, and well known MS-13 Gang Members and ... .”
And, of course, he couldn't resist revisiting the 2020 election, accusing his opponents of fraud and wishing them a sarcastic "Happy Easter."
No mention of resurrection. No nod to Christ. No humility, no mercy, no grace. Just recycled lies, tired blame, and a Hallmark card dipped in acid.
He didn’t stop there. He attacked Biden. He attacked judges. He called immigrants criminals. He declared himself “the greatest friend that American capitalism has ever had.”
And then, as if it were all normal, he went golfing.
THE RUBRIC: HUMANITY VS. HUBRIS
It would almost be funny if it weren’t so blasphemous. But the contrast doesn’t stop there—it gets louder the closer you listen.
If we grade them on compassion, Francis passes while Trump tantrums.
If we grade them on truth, Francis pleads for it while Trump buries it.
If we grade them on the spirit of Easter—hope, forgiveness, love—Francis embodied it with his final breath. Trump mocked it with his thumbs.
One man spent his last day calling for peace.
The other spent his yelling into the void he created.
THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO GRIFT
What Francis gave away—blessing, kindness, dignity—Trump has only ever tried to sell. Every Easter post is a sales pitch in a tinfoil halo. Every “God bless” is a dog whistle to the paranoid. And every “Happy Easter” is followed by another tantrum against a judge, a migrant, or a ghost from the 2020 ballot box.
This isn’t faith. It’s performance art for the spiritually bankrupt.
You can’t preach resurrection while fantasizing about revenge.
You can’t invoke Christ while mocking the crucified.
And you sure as hell can’t call yourself a servant of God while suing the prophets and golfing through plagues.
HISTORY TAKES ATTENDANCE
Francis’s final appearance was a moment history will remember—a weak body held upright by moral strength. Trump’s Easter outburst was one more smear on an already stained record.
The Pope asked the world to imagine peace. Trump asked the world to imagine him on the throne again.
One gave his last breath. The other won’t stop breathing threats.
We do not confuse noise with meaning. We do not mistake a megaphone for a message.
One gave a blessing.
The other gave a middle finger.
And one of them had the decency to die with dignity.
TO THE CATHOLICS WHO STILL WORSHIP TRUMP
You don’t get to hide behind “God uses imperfect people.” That line is for those who repent. That’s for sinners who kneel, not tyrants who tweet. You think Jesus would’ve stormed the Capitol in a red hat? You think the man who flipped tables in the temple would pose for a Bible photo op after gassing a crowd?
You call yourself pro-life while cheering on mass deportations.
You take communion while swallowing conspiracy theories whole.
You ignored every single Gospel passage about humility, compassion, and the dangers of wealth—and replaced them with Trump’s golden toilet.
Pope Francis begged us to remember the poor. Trump called them criminals.
And you still chose the guy with the spray tan and a grudge.
Pick a side. Because one of them followed Christ.
And the other thinks he is Christ—minus the love, the sacrifice, or the spine.
