What’s happening with food stamps in the US?

American, evangelical "Christianity" isn't Christianity. It's selfish, capitalism-worshipping ethno-nationalism. Your average, atheist Democrat is generally more Christian in their beliefs and ethos than your average Republican.

Because of the separation of powers. It is not normal for the White House to get involved in DOJ matters.

@Poetnojo taking you at face value, you need to read Luke 18 9:14 right now and pray on it.

But if the military are not being paid, maybe they'll revolt and have a coup.

Really? It's seems the republicans are pro Christ and the Democrats are very anti Christ, no?

This statement is utter nonsense. What is anti-Christ exactly? If you think the current Republican Party is practicing pro-Christ policies, you're not doing very well on reading the teachings of Christ.

And what is 'Christian church attendance' exactly? Every day? Once a week? Three times a day? Once a month? Christmas Eve? And do you mean Catholic, like the Pope, who is compassionate and charitable? Or Catholic like recent convert JD Vance who is not compassionate or charitable? Attending one of the mega churches that are essentially cultlike financial grifts? Going to Episcopal services once a month?

Supporting a two-times divorced, baby daddy with three women, convicted sex offender who has been banned from ever running a charity again due to misuse of funds hardly seems to embody Christian values to me.

Roughly 51% of Democrats identify as Christian, by the way.

Are you a bit anti-Christ yourself @Poetnojo?

Are you not aware that mn is not solely uk based? If you're not interested scroll on by and leave those of us who are to get on with it.

Just a reminder of whose responsibility this is, according to the bigliest expert around:

"If there is a shutdown ... I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the president of the United States. He's the one that has to get people together." - Donald Trump, 2011

"When they talk about the government shutdown, they’re going to be talking about the president of the United States, who the president was at that time. They’re not going to be talking about who was the head of the House, the head of the Senate, who’s running things in Washington. So I really think the pressure is on the president." - Donald Trump, 2013

Oh never mind.

😂

They loudly proclaim their supposed Christianity but stop short of actually following anything written in the Bible:

When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt

Cursed is anyone who withholds justice from the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow

Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God

I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me.

Rather a contrast to the views of the 'Christian Right' who hate immigrants and the poor.

Look at Trump, he's practically a personification of the seven deadly sins: pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth

Americans are much more Christian, ie, church goers, than people in the UK, if you don't go to church you don't have social standing in many places. Whether a fraction of them would actually pass as Christians in the life they live is a different matter. Not sure there is much difference between the political parties in that respect.

Trump says there are no files, nothing to see here, but then he was very friendly with Epstein.

Trump is basically black mailing the government to do what he wants regardless, or he will start starving his own population. What a nice guy.

The Joel Olsteen who’s church resembles a Premier League stadium 🫠🫠😂

WILD to me as an outsider looking in.

Many Christian Republicans are followers of the prosperity gospel which differs from what many people in the UK would recognise as Christian teaching. People like Joel Osteen for example who preaches that “it’s God’s will for you to live in prosperity instead of poverty” and that “you must boldly declare words of faith and victory over yourself.” In other words if you're poor then it's your own fault.
Why would you give to poor people? Live a Christian life and the wealth will come to you.

As a Brit who’d never experienced the very American brand of Christianity until I came here: From my observations, church-going is more of a cultural expectation than anything in certain areas of the US. The church is the community hub, not just a place of worship. If you’re the one family who don’t show up in a Wednesday evening and a Sunday morning, you’re also not welcome anywhere else within the community. Generally speaking, the further south you go, the higher the numbers of church attendees.
Which directly correlates to the political map: the further south you go, the more red the maps turn.

Then why do republicans outnumber Democrats in Christian church attendance?

The majority of Christian Church goers in the US are republicans.

You do know that that video was AI generated, right? Even Fox News is admitting it was AI.

You are free to have what I consider repellent views, but please check the sources that are foundational in forming them.

Hard to imagine anything more tone deaf than that party

No

Because he is insane and cruel. He has just thrown a lavish party with underage “dancers”, while there are people going hungry in the country he is supposed to serve.

A synonym for anti-Christ is Prince of Lies @Poetnojo.

Say what now?
