(Photo YouTube) As Kali Holloway notes in AlterNet even among the right-wing ideologues doing the actual presidenting in this administration, Stephen Miller stands out for the copious amounts of Kool-Aid he mainlines. Speaking to the New York Times, a Trump team colleague described Miller as “fiercely loyal” to the president, “a true believer in every sense of the word.” WATCH Meet Miller … As noted in Alternet— Here are 21 facts that explain who Stephen Miller is. 1.

Do Not Miss Andrew Sullivan Saying the Unsayable About Trump: “Then there is the obvious question of the president’s mental health… He’s deranged; he’s bizarrely living in an alternative universe.”

Last updated on: February 17, 2017 at 4:21 am By Frank Schaeffer

(Photo Twitter) “Then there is the obvious question of the president’s mental and psychological health,” writes Andrew Sullivan in New York magazine. “I know we’re not supposed to bring this up — but it is staring us brutally in the face. I keep asking myself this simple question: If you came across someone in your everyday life who repeatedly said fantastically and demonstrably untrue things, what would you think of him? If you showed up at a neighbor’s, say,... Read more

Can the black church rescue Jesus’ reputation from Trump? AME to the Rescue!

Last updated on: February 5, 2017 at 12:16 pm By Frank Schaeffer

Can the black church rescue Jesus’ reputation from Trump? Maybe. At least the African Methodist Episcopal Church is bravely trying to. Eighty one percent of white evangelical America handed Trump the White House, put the alt-right white supremacist Bannon in the power seat and trashed the name of Jesus at the same time. Hear the word evangelical now and the KKK comes to mind, not the Middle Eastern brown Jew carpenter. Now as detailed in an important op-ed in the... Read more

The blasphemy of this picture — if you are a believing Christian — is clear. Here’s Trump as the 2nd “Apostle Paul” of white supremacist fascist theocracy

Last updated on: February 5, 2017 at 12:05 pm By Frank Schaeffer

Imam Trump? Is this what we’ve come to? American Evangelical Sharia Law? Total theocracy? (Photo Facebook/YouTube/Twitter) One hardly needs to comment on the blasphemy of this picture circulating in evangelical online circles… As if Trump is the 2nd Apostle Paul or Prophet Moses. This illustration only demonstrates how enormously dangerous to humanity the Trump Administration really is as it makes common cause with evangelical theocratic anti-freedom fanatics. This image is the stuff of which fascist theocracies are made… Next... Read more

(YouTube) Trump’s antagonizing the people of the world. Last week, the Dutch (the Netherlands) offered an “official” welcome video, using Trump’s own words. It became a global hit. As their saying went, “America First, The Netherlands Second!” Now Switzerland, Denmark, Belgium, Portugal, and Germany—where citizens’ trust in the U.S. has eroded to a record low—all want to get in on the Trump trolling, too.

Bannon’s ‘bible’ explains Trump’s first 2 weeks as president

Last updated on: February 2, 2017 at 8:56 am By Frank Schaeffer

“Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt,” Tzu wrote. Bannon — Trump’s alter-ego–follows Tzu. As such he is the tormentor of anyone who desires continuity, peace and stability. To put it mildly Bannon is not working to keep America a democracy much less use open and democratic means to carry out his ideological crusade. In other words picture what any young mother wants as an environment in which to raise... Read more

Trump is listening to Bannon/Rasputin: And whether due to incompetence or malfeasance, Bannon is making America less safe

Last updated on: January 31, 2017 at 6:39 am By Frank Schaeffer

(Photo, Wikipedia) The lies and misdirection has left America in psychological chaos. We are hemorrhaging trust. Trump’s approval ratings are in free fall. Only 36 percent of voters approve of the way Trump has handled his presidency so far. Stephen Bannon, the Breitbart executive turned White House strategist is pouring the gas on this fire. He’s no longer just an adviser. He’s Trump’s (and America’s) Rasputin. Trump’s method is Breitbart’s fake news “method:” undermine the mainstream voices opposed to his... Read more
