The Official "Damned Trump" Thread: Phase II

[Fake Messiah]

The meritocracy:

The first few days in any new job are always hard, but Thursday was especially tough for Lindsey Halligan, the newly installed U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.

Ms. Halligan, who took over on Monday after her predecessor quit rather than prosecute James B. Comey with what he believed was insufficient evidence, had a little trouble with the first two tasks. At one point, she entered the wrong courtroom. When she found the right one, she stood on the wrong side of the judge, then appeared confused about the paperwork she just had signed.

But she accomplished the third task — the one that mattered most to her boss — securing a criminal indictment against Mr. Comey, the former F.B.I. director.

So, Trump’s FINALLY going to declassify and order the release of all government documents related to [drumroll]…

78% of all Americans are going, "Who?"

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

But at least we’re not talking about Epstein.

Amelia had a heart shaped like an ear. Did I get that right?

The bullshit testimony is the story, not that the doctor was paid $150K for it. Expert witnesses are commonly paid to testify. For that kind of cash, they should have bought a better witness.

The Debate on Whether Mormons are Christians is Settled Because Donald Trump Says So

On Sunday, September 28, 2025, a mass shooting and arson attack occurred at a congregation of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter‑day Saints (LDS) in Grand Blanc, Michigan.

Noted religious scholar Donald J. Trump immediately posted on Truth Social, framing the incident as an attack on Christians.

In 2014, Trump suggested that Mitt Romney, a Mormon, lost the 2012 election due to his “alien faith.” McKay Coppins reported that Trump argued vigorously — despite evidence to the contrary — that many Christian voters were put off by Romney’s religion. Privately, Trump reportedly joked about sacred undergarments worn by devout members. Michael Cohen recalled, “Oh my God. How many times did he bring up Mitt Romney and the undergarments…”

Now you have it, Mormons are definitely Christians because it feeds the narrative that Christians are under attack in America. Fox News will run this angle throughout the news cycle, even though many of its commentators would have been among those denying that Mormons were Christians the day before this horrible attack.

At the time of this writing, the shooter has been identified as Thomas Jacob Sanford, a 40-year-old Marine Corps veteran from Burton, Michigan. Nothing is known about his motives, yet Donald Trump sees it as an attack on Christianity. That settles that.

What makes Trump’s intervention so hollow is the hypocrisy at its core. For years, he has courted evangelical leaders who openly dismissed Mormons as outside the Christian fold, yet in the wake of tragedy, he suddenly anoints them as Christians because it serves his narrative of persecution. He rails against violence while stoking division, condemns hatred while trafficking in it, and claims to defend faith while weaponizing it for political gain.

Indeed, just a few days ago MAGA was claiming that Charlie Kirk's assassin isn't right wing even though he's a Christian because "Mormons are not Christians"

"Tyler Robinson Is Not A Christian Because Mormons Are Not Christians"

Today I’m watching the right wing flood the zone with shit in their desperation to prove that Tyler Robinson is not one of them despite his upbringing and environment — he’s an radical left wing antifa Democrat they say. Their latest evidence is a photo of a member of Utah’s Democratic Socialists of America wearing said shirt, that obviously isnt Tyler Robinson but has a vague resemblance to him.

However what caught my eye is the uptick of MAGA arguing that Tyler Robinson is not a Christian because Mormons are not Christians. So, say you're Mormon and you support Charlie Kirk because you are Christian and so is Charlie Kirk. Problem is, MAGA is now saying that the shooter is not Christian because he is a Mormon, and Mormons are not Christian.

Think long and hard about what this means, because this is exactly how America shatters into a million divided pieces where everyone starts kicking each other out of their group.

MAGA just declared that you’re politically expendable — you were one of them until they decide that you’re not.
