Is Father David right that we caused this harm?

Yes, he is.

My most unpopular and dismissed opinion is simply this:

Dear Trump supporters (also known as Scum-pers);

* You had 5 years, 1 of campaigning, 4 of a disastrous 1st Presidency, to observe the pure stupidity that is Scump and how he handled his job. From the lunacy of Covid denial, through " I have a hunch it's just going to go away", to prioritizing states that supported HIM instead of ALL American people, to the worst oil deal in HISTORY with OPEC openly mocking him, to "grabbing them by the pussy", to Jan. 6th.

* You had all of that, then you had stolen documents that he fought in COURT to keep. Then a sexual assault case lost. On and on through the Epstein files.

* Then you had him DENYING any knowledge of Project 2025, then later saying "it is the blueprint we're following". You had full knowledge of their plans, from the removal of women's autonomy over their bodies to the removal of protections for the public against corporate abuse on land, air, in the sea, and particularly with your water.

*** You had all this at your disposal, all the information, ALL the actions, all the appointments of incompetent people with no experience, all the firings of Generals who had served faithfully and given wise counsel through multiple Presidencies, all the idiot talk alienating our allies.

***** You had ALL of this, and YET... you still voted for him because he greenlighted your hate and blew your dog whistles.

Now you say, most of you, "I didn't vote for this". Yes, you did.
Others of you, the most despicable among you, openly say "Yes, I DID vote for this".

Killing, imprisonment and deportation of civilians as well as ignoring all due process and legal rights. Erecting concentration camps where children are dying, and parents, because they're denied medical care, before you even for CERTAIN they're undocumented or not. The list of horrors about what's happening in the USA is never ending now, day after day.

You Scumpers are complicit. Every one of you.
Are the Dems better? Yes. Much better. Are they great? Not at all.
But the Republican/Conservative bar is set SO LOW that it's sub gutter, so even being in the sewer with the Dems is an improvement, although you're actually at least on the curb.

Your support of this monster, your collective bubbling under the surface, "the South is gonna rise again" hate and racism, has ok'd the death spiral in the USA. There is one last chance to save it, and all it will do is bring it back to a point where it's still so fucked it that it has to be fixed, but it won't be Gilead.

It's up to every one ELSE now in the USA. Scumpers are lost, irretrievably ignorant people from which 1 in 100,000 make it back to sanity and accountability. There's one last chance. Just one.

Trump and his groupies are below filth level !!!

[MrChinaski]

It's murder. Pure and simple. The Iranian people who protested against the Iranian regime are now being slaughtered by Americans. And for what?

[beefcakebradybatson]

To appease the Orange God !!!

[exitseven]

It is real easy to stand on the sidelines and criticize what President Trump is doing. Where was Father Dave when the Iranians murdered 30,000 protesters? Where was he on October 7th?

Who is this guy to complain anyway? He does not even pay taxes.

[Amy10223]

That is Father David, a priest living in Hawaii, so I think he does pay taxes. Whatever happens in Iran is not under his control, although I'm sure he would be against it. Just like he is against ICE agents hurting and killing people here, detaining people for the wrong reasons, and the Epstein files not being released and ignored.

[exitseven]

No, he does not. Preists get a pass in taxes. He lives on an island thousands o miles away and he thinks he knows about illegal aliens. He has no idea how much tax money is wasted on them every year. It is a half trillion dollars and that does not count the extra police and emergency room costs. Why should he care? It does not come out of his pocket.

[Amy10223]

I am convinced you are a bot created by GAG.

[exitseven]

@amy10223 Amy- I am the most real person that you will ever meet. I am pretty fed up with priests getting into politics. If Jesus was here he would be an ICE agent.

[Amy10223]

That’s why I think you’re a bot, or someone hired by GAG to give ridiculous responses. Priests DO pay taxes on their salary, altnough they pay no federal taxes. Hawaii is very expensive; I’m sure his taxes are high. And it’s hard for anyone, especially priests, to ignore what’s going on in this country. You need to read on what Jesus taught.

[exitseven]

The church and by extension all its employees are federal tax exempt.

[Amy10223]

No, I was actually wrong. They DO pay federal taxes:
Yes, priests and clergy members in the U. S. pay federal income taxes on their salary and compensation. They hold a unique "dual tax status," treated as employees for income tax purposes but as self-employed for Social Security and Medicare taxes, meaning they pay 15.3% in self-employment taxes on their earnings

And, here is a message from him to you. It’s short.

[Amy10223]

You consider yourself a Christian, right? And you said you don’t like clergymen who get involved with politics? That’s exactly what he points out.

[NathanDavis]

which harm?

[Amy10223]

The harm being done to Iran.

[Amy10223]

Specifically the school girls that were hit by a missile and survived, they escaped and ran to another area, only to be bombed again, and they did not survive.

[NathanDavis]

I mean, yeah... our taxes paid those bombings... so it is all our fault
