    So i was talking to Republican-Fox-Watching-Evangelical-wv-mom, and i mentioned Martin Luther King, and she sneared at the notion he was a Christian. She noted
    he cheated on his wife, etc.

    So then i said, “but wv-mom you Luuuuv Mr Trump, and he’s a total Weasel.

    And she said, “He may have done some things in the past but he’s God’s instrument now. He’s a good christian man, now.”

    She also said she was rooting for “Tom Brady because he’s “not ashamed touphold Christian family values.”

    So there you have it. This is one of the many reasons the biosphere is fucked.

    Yep, the Establishment doesn’t want to talk about MLK as an anticapitalist and antiwar activist. They don’t want to talk about him as a socialist, either. Same goes for Einstein, Orwell, Camus, Helen Keller, Gandhi, the Dalai Lama, Oscar Wilde, Kafka (a libertarian socialist, to be more precise), etc. etc.

    It is amazing that Trump managed to gain such rabid support from Christian evangelicals, especially considering his three marriages, frequent adultery, trysts with porn stars, serial sexual assaults, endless lies (more than 2000 since he took office), ties to the mob, six bankruptcies, endless, vicious attacks on minorities, women, etc. etc.

    If Trump is a “good Christian man,” then I could go out, right now, and take Aaron Donald’s job away from him, cuz I’m obviously a much better pass-rushing, run-stuffing defensive tackle. It wouldn’t even be a contest!!
