There’s a tape and a tweet for everything. Here’s a tape from last October, when things were started to get heated for Sidney Powell. None other than Kent Christmas was invoking divine powers to aid Powell. Looks like the message either didn’t get through to the Almighty, or maybe He just shook his head in wonder, even as we do.
It's a ruse, a ploy, a gambit, an excuse- a position where they'll assert religious persecution. pic.twitter.com/fyj0FTFcC4

This is true. I used to get into a battle with an evangelical wingnut of my acquaintance because she demanded that everybody believe in Jesus. I said, “I believe in Jesus, but he’s not the clown that you portray him as.” And indeed her version of God and Jesus was pretty bizarre. Once when my computer was broken and I was upset because I couldn’t blog, she told me that, “God broke it.” I asked why He would do that. She said, “Because He wants more of you.” In other words, God (her version, I stress) would only be happy if I did absolutely nothing 24/7 but pray to Him. In other words, God’s a cult personality figure — but at least he’s not asking for all my money. His so-called pastors do that.
I didn’t believe in a fascist, controlling God then, nor do I now. But I did come up with a great line to shut her up. I said, “God’s the Creator, right?” Yes. “Then isn’t it plausible that God would want his children to be creators, too, since we are made in His image? And therefore God would want me to get my computer fixed ASAP so that I could continue to create my articles?” Silence.
The other thing that blew my mind about this evangelical wingnut and the rest of her sect, which is the prosperity consciousness crowd, is that they don’t want to work. They feel that God should just manifest whatever they need. The extent of that fantasy is mind boggling. Kenneth Copeland has a handout called, “How To Believe God For A House” and if you basically chant Biblical passages and better yet, get your own religion and people to donate to you, then God will give you a house.
Of course there’s the old fashioned way, of putting something of value into the world, whether it be a service or a product and getting paid and then buying yourself the house. But that’s such a drag and these people don’t want to bother with things like that. It’s not magical thinking enough for them.
Sidney Powell was not saved by her magical thinking, either. Keep a close eye on her. Her testimony is going to open a lot of eyes and for the rest of us, she’ll merely confirm our worst suspicions.
For what’s about to happen here, is that Sidney is going to reveal unto the cult, not just the MAGA cult but its related cult, the evangelicals, that Donald Trump did not win the 2020 election. And that she knew that but engaged in a conspiracy with him and others to overturn the election.
And prepare for some right-wing Bizarro World spin when that happens.
Love the “creator” approach. Bravo.
How they’ll get to spin this one on the Democratic Party escapes me just now, but they’ll try. It’s the ONLY thing they ever put any “work” into! 🙂
Do you know if The Kraken will have to or will be asked to testify at Cheesebros’ trial?
From what I understand, no she will not testify in Cheese bro trial because her and chesebro never worked together on the scheme to overthrow democracy.
Prosecutors want Sydney because she was IN THE ROOM with tramp, Giuliani, and Meadows that fateful night in the Oval Office.
she won’t need to, he has also now pled guilty.
3 down, 16 to go.
Maybe their prayers DID get answered but as comedian Christopher Titus once said in one of his routines when you pray to god for something you’d better be really, really specific and not give him any wiggle room because he might just go and have some fun with you. In this case, maybe god did in fact (as you know I don’t believe in god but I’m playing along here) say “You know what? Maybe I should do that at some point, but I’m gonna wait a while.” And then, with a twinkle in his/her eye decided the time had come to indeed make Powell into that bulldozer – and aim her straight at Trump!
Yes, your “God’s the Creator, right?” bit jumped out. Well put. Expertly used to effectively shut down that religious woohoo – deprived them of any currency to use against you, just like, by way of example, a narcissist would do. It’s quite possible we are all after the same higher order water, we just hold different cups. However, some cups are ‘cracked’ and won’t hold that water of higher but leak their woohoo, hypocrisy, violence, or whatever manifestation holding them prisoner to their version they’ve bought into, to the exclusion of other ways sans woohoo. Oh Sidney, you silly, silly person. You’ve been duped, dumped and fallen under a big bus. Thump!
Unfortunately, the Bible has never been respected as the collection of ancient documents that really require study and critical thinking to understand the various books. NONE were written by the noted authors, and often the texts were written and collected many years after the event. By the way, mr copeland didnt get his private jet by praying. He did it by preying on scared people hoping the reality of struggle, suffering, and death WON’T include them.In America we have a collection of citizens who rail against things out of ignorance and entitlement. We’re a nation of ‘patriots’ who can’t explain how the branches of government work, or who know ANYTHING ABOUT OUR ACTUAL HISTORY. We are a nation of religious zealots, who KNOW NOTHING about ancient history, culture, or politics, or THEIR SUPPOSED FAITH/BELIEF SYSTEMS. We are a nation that loves our technology but DOESN’T believe/trust in science. DUH? In other words you might as well argue with a more enlightened creature…your pet. FACT.
At the present moment, astrophysicists estimate there are 1000 billion trillion stars in the universe…a number that can’t be imagined. The distance between each one is measured in how far light will travel in a year. At 186,000 miles per second it can circle the earth 7x in ONE SECOND. We have observed light traveling 13.7 billion YEARS!!!! If that doesn’t shake your perspective, THEN YOU ARE A MORON! No wonder all these phuckwads are experts on the universe and how/who created it. Like I’ve said many times…I’ll talk with you xtians WHEN you can even tell me WHERE you are. As a Religion major who actually studied with scholars that taught at Princeton, Davidson, and Carolina…I defer back to discussing these things with intelligent beings…namely, your dog/cat/bird/pet. People are phucking morons and the proof is on TV nightly watching congress piss on 240 years of a democracy paid for IN BLOOD. Who gave Jordan power? Trump? Greene? Boebert? The citizens of good old USA. And so on…or, as Vonnegut used to write: so it goes…po tweet!
