Maybe I’m getting addled in my old age, but it seems to me that for most of my lifetime, the GOP has been The Party of Go. Especially since Newt Gingrich crawled out from under his Georgia rock and into the House Speakership, the GOP has owned the Evangelical vote. Even with such sterling examples of Evangelical piety such as Jimmy Swaggart, and Jim and Tammy Faye Baker. If you weren’t a Republican, you were a godless heathen.
Me personally? I’m a born and raised Irish Roman Catholic. Kinda. Your faith tends to wander when you’re young. But as you get older, and you start to wheeze more, your faith has a funny way of starting to creep back in around the edges again. And one of my more contemplative moments today brought me to a revelation.
And so, in the spirit of brotherhood for fellow Christians, I would like to call the attention of all Evangelicals such as Mike Pence, wandering around out there looking for a burning bush or something, of the words of Exodus 20:4
“You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.

At least the Golden Calf was a serious idol. God would laugh at this one. It looks like a joke, a parody, a laughing stock, flag boxers and all.
You nailed it, it really does look like they are mocking him. And the amazing suckers who just eat it up. All I can say is wow.
Hypocrite, thy name is Evangelical…
Why in the hell would anyone do a statue of that idiot. We need to reclaim American values.
The REALLY funny thing is that the guy tried to deliver it to Trump at Mar-A-Lago on his first day in private life, and the Secret Sercive turned him away!!! lol
Not a statue but a craven idol.
It’s graven and craven, both.
i5t isn’t even a well-done statue. It looks like a joke.
When I seen them pushing this thing across the stage I thought what in the fck is that. Then I managed to focus on it. Head two times normal, legs two times shorter. At least they got the theme right. I quit drinking a long time ago so I know I wasn’t suffering from a hangover. Did some idiot think this was a piece of art or something. This is so bizarre it goes beyond some crazy time warp. Beam me up Scottie, no sane life force here.
That’s not really djt. Its belly is too flat, and it has too much hair.
Damn, that thing is UGly.
For all the Qowards that adore the tRump an idol is exactly what it is. It’s also a prophet in their view, leading them to glory. That’s their only outcome, and I firmly believe that the rest of us need to prepare for a new civil war and be quick about it.
Remember what God did to the golden calf-worshipping Israelites? They had to wander an extra 40 years in the wilderness.
May She again make it so.
The GOP may be headed into just that, a political wilderness. That’s what McConnell is trying to forestall. And if he’s got good candidates and can get them in over Trump’s loony QAnon-ites, then he may be able to forestall disaster. Who knows? We live in precarious times.
