President Donald Trump revealed on Thursday at the National Prayer Breakfast an executive order instructing Attorney General Pam Bondi to seek out and prosecute "anti-Christian bias."

"To confront such weaponization and religious persecution, today I'm signing an executive order to make our Attorney General, who's a great person — she's going to be a great Attorney General — Pam Bondi the head of a task force, brand new, to eradicate anti-Christian bias," Trump said. "About time, right? Anti-Christian bias. Yeah, never heard of that one before, right?"

"So many times you hear, but you don't hear the anti-Christian bias," he continued. "The mission of this task force will be to immediately halt all forms of anti-Christian targeting and discrimination within the federal government, including at the DOJ, which was absolutely terrible."

Trump suggested the FBI and IRS were "terrible" for targeting Christians.

"In addition, the task force will work to fully prosecute anti-Christian violence and vandalism in our society and to move heaven and earth to defend the rights of Christians and religious believers nationwide," he added. "You've never had that before, but this is a very powerful document I'm signing."

"You get it now. First time you've had it. If we don't have religious liberty, then we don't have a free country. We probably don't even have a country."

Bondi’s holy crusade? More like federalized persecution fetish. Since when does the party of “small government” creampuff the DOJ into policing Sunday school butthurt?

Paula White—the grifter who prayer-jacked millions—now architects faith policy? Next milestone: tax-exempt jet fleets and federal grants for speaking-in-tongues AI startups.

Those “persecuted” clinic invaders Trump pardoned? Domestic terrorists with a Psalmbook. But sure, let’s canonize screaming at nurses as sacramental theater.

And his messiah complex“God sculpted my cheekbones to deflect bullets”—while orphans burn in Medicaid gaps. Divine intervention’s got a MAGA-tier PR team.

Prayer Breakfast unity evaporated faster than communion wine. Morning psalms, afternoon executive-order napalm. This isn’t piety—it’s state-sanctioned blasphemy with a task force badge.

Freedom of speech, and freedom from religion cannot be censored by the US government. Fuck off with your hate cult!

The fuck?

There's a bias here that is exceptionally pro-christian. Always has been and the femtosecond anyone else gains ground they come swinging bibles as clubs.

Am christian and i'm sick of it. Get your bullshit out of My faith. Because What Would Jesus Do includes flipping tables and going after abusive jerks with a whip.

I legitimately feel bad for Christians who are stuck watching their religion get used to abuse.

Jesus was a socialist. It's insane to see him used to push fascism/capitalism

As a Christian, I do not comprehend how anyone who actually reads that book and actually believes it can be anything other than a radical. Sell your possessions and live in common, whip the money changers. Christ wasn't just a socialist, He was a badass revolutionary, and there's a pretty solid argument to be made that He was an anarchist communist

That's the neat part. They don't believe it, not really. They believe it's a useful tool to impose authority with. A useful tool to claim moral justification. However no... they don't believe any of it.

Is a tool to distract from the massive tariff-tax increases against the people that this propaganda targets, and likely a tool to attack any intellectual dissention from academia; very calculated it seems

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 hours ago

The fuck?

They are liars and con artists, pandering to the idiots that voted them in. The end.

Attorney General Pam Blondi will relentlessly pursue the unprecedented far-leftist persecution of Christians in the USA!! /S

Who's Pan Bondi? That bitch that let him off the treason charge?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 hours ago

Pretty sure Satan is in the Bible so hail Satan. I hope s/he enjoys all the hypocrites they're going to receive.
