And none of the evangelicals remember the story of the golden calf statue from the bible? I learned that when I was in elementary school (which was quite some time ago) and haven't been religious for a long time, and I still remember it being a BAD THING in the bible.

I'm not sure whether I should laugh, or shake my head. I'll probably do both.

Is it just me or does that not look like him at all?
Also - reminds me of his golden crapper...

I learned that when I was in elementary school (which was quite some time ago) and haven't been religious for a long time, and I still remember it being a BAD THING in the bible. Yes its a bad thing, but they have been worshipping the false idol of Trump since his campaign in 2015. A golden image is redundant at this point. At this point I just see Trump as the latest false idol Evangelicals have embraced, in their quest to reduce Christianity to a religion of what to hate instead of modeling Christ like lives. But this delusion started in the Catholic church and apparently engulfed the Evangelicals. I've never read a verse in the bible that said the equivalent of 'thou shalt not have an abortion'. But this is the flag pole that Evangelical leaders have carried proclaiming God picked Trump because of this tent pole. Personally I think they are deluded and false preachers. Was there ever a time in the bible where there is a story of God preventing an abortion or equivalent because it is declared wrong? I actually think there might be slight evidence the other way. If Noah and the ark did happen, some of those who drowned would have been pregnant women and therefore the fetuses they are carrying. God did not stop King Herod's slaying of male children under two which likely included a few pregnant women as well. I think pro-birth is a human controlling church thing. Entirely man made. If God really wanted abortion stopped, why wait a couple thousand years and only act in the United States? Isn't that the ultimate in hubris of these church leaders to think they "know" God wants this and "know" God wanted Trump elected to do so? They've been worshipping gold calves for awhile. Trump is just the latest.

The artist is delusional too. He’s got a wand in his hand, which symbolizes what Obama said, ‘How are you going to bring all these jobs; have you got some kind of magic wand?'”
He said the statue carries the U.S. Constitution in the right hand to show Trump follows it.
If he followed the Constitution he wouldn't have used Pence as a target for his followers. He wouldn't have cajoled the GOP into believing the President could not be prosecuted while in office. (The same GOP that allowed Bill Clinton to be impeached and have a case by Paula Jones brought forward while he was in office.) heavy.com/news/golden-trump-statue-cpac-2021-photos/

The GOP just isn't sane anymore. I'm giving the benefit of the doubt that they once were. but now you're dealing with crazy people.

I should have gotten over this by now but I am debating whether I should go to the ER to get my jaw wired back into place after hearing the Golden Calf (with apologies to those of the bovine persuasion) that Democrats are anti-science. He of the gut feeling regarding hydroxychloroquine, ingesting disinfectant s and shoving an UV light in someone's body is criticising others following science? And the sheeple cheered him on...

I haven't seen that yet, but I still don't get why most Republicans are still fanning his ego. He lost the election, doesn't want to acknowledge that, and his fans still believe.

it is actually the one thing about him that the artist and I agree upon.

You forgot already that Junior was taking the Repubs who accepted defeat "gracefully" to task telling them that Daddy Dearest had shown them that you can push back. The idiocy of these creatures never ceases to amaze me

I have noticed that my Facebook feed is blessedly free from posts about Trump lately. I expected some of the CPAC stuff to come across the newsfeed.

I am not sure how you get gold chrome. The process uses Gold Strike instead of Silver Strike. It's not done in the US as Gold Strike contains battery acid (cannot ship to US due to DOT regulations).

I am not sure how you get gold chrome. Paint it. I remember reading a review of Trump tower, the reviewer said that the marble and gold things were fakes painted to look like marble and gold. , but the edges were ratty and already looking shabby. Sounds exactly like how a snake oil salesman would decorate. I’m sure he loves his gold painted idol.

Therefore they still follow the letter of the law. "This is a statue, not an idol. Therefore, God will love it." And don't even get me started in the parsing they go through to technically not have sex before marriage.
