This is not, I repeat, not a good sign for Donald Trump. The evangelicals are beginning to desert him and he cannot win the GOP nomination without their support.
I find it comical that in the clip you’re about to see that Trump isn’t mentioned at all, merely God, Ronald Reagan and now Ron DeSantis. I guess that’s the new GOP trinity.
And Fox News will be fine, just fine, with this. They’d already made this call.
It looks like the self-proclaimed "prophets" are starting to gravitate toward Ron DeSantis, with Charlie Shamp claiming he received a vision several years ago revealing that DeSantis' "ultimate future is to have a position in the United States as the president." pic.twitter.com/l8WYWrAvqT

Trump was hailed as the Second Coming Of Reagan, but you can forget about that now. Now that title belongs to Ronald II, Ron DeSantis, the “tree of righteousness.”
I’m no defender of Ronald Reagan but I don’t recall him banning books or going after gays or Disneyland when he was governor of California.

George Bernard Shaw was far more of a visionary than this dodo bird. And whut is up with that haircut? Anybody? Is he hatching eggs up there? Or covering up his horns?

Counterpoint:
Ronald McDonald was literally born in an ad agency in Washington DC.
AND he serves as the mascot for McDonalds, which was founded in California.
RONALD McDonald. RONALD Reagan.
So who do I call to book my spot on this show?

Now this you’re going to love. Are you sitting down? Good. I just found a School Of Prophecy where you can get a degree in prophecy. Seriously. And you can do it online. Do you love it? I think I’m going to register and I can study how to be a prophet between blogs.
Once you have submitted your application, the Prophetic School Principals will then look it over. When they look over your application they will be looking for three things:
a.) The amount of information (heart) that went into your application.
b.) A conviction of your prophetic call and ministry aspirations.
c.) What your current relationship with the Lord is like.If approved, you will move on to Phase 2 and will be invited for a phone interview. If declined, you will be directed to further resources to help you grow in your call or be asked to submit a new application with further information.
And it will cost me $2,850 to be certified as a prophet. And they want to know if I’ve been baptized by the Holy Spirit and if I speak in tongues. Only when I drop a pan on my foot and scream incoherent profanities.
Get ready, friends. We’re going to do a little course correction around here, maybe. How about we become a church, the Temple Of Political Blogging and Ursine Magic, or TOP BUM. We’ll have our own visions and I’ll get a tax exemption.
And you, my readers, will become my disciples and you will call yourself Top Bummers.
This could be the start of something big.

Would that be including the Alzheimer’s?
HAHA! Good one! In his last days Ronnie was reportedly walking around the White House grounds talking to the squirrels and asking them if they had enough to eat, while Nancy was on the phone to her astrologer.
He should have spent his last days in a federal prison for Iran-Contra.
As much as things went to Hell on Reagan’s watch, he’s starting to look good to me when compared with DeSantis.
I’m Ordained. By The Church of the Dude. You can be too and the best part is it’s free! Somewhere in some box is the certificate I printed out. I never saw The Big Lebowski but know about the Jeff Bridges character and it seemed kinda cool so when I found out I too could be a Dude preacher I went for it. Alas, the whole notion is a lot more laid back than being involved in political reporting and influencing but the Church of the Dude is pretty free form as I recall so your own congregation would be whatever you want I guess.
“I’m no defender of Ronald Reagan but I don’t recall him banning books or going after gays or Disneyland when he was governor of California.”
He did, however, lead to gun laws that overwhelmingly affected gun ownership by Blacks more than whites. For some reason, he found the idea of gun-toting Blacks patrolling their own neighborhoods (largely to help Blacks defend against certain police behaviors) as well as gun-toting Blacks planning to march on the State Capitol to be a “threat” to society.
Back in the day, Spitting Image ran a recurring spot “The President’s Brain is Missing” and pointed out that the US had two clowns named ‘Ronald’.
I seem to have a vague recollection of the opening of the Los Angeles Olympics where Reagan actually thanked E.T. for showing up at the event
He did throw tens of thousands in jail for smoking weed while his boys ran cocaine and gun trafficking to pay the murderous gangs in Central America, many trained in Georgia. He undermined democracy while murdering peasants. Defend him? He has no goddamn defense. I can hope he’s rotting where the truly evil go. Fuck him and that hairdo he called Nancy.
I had a client that flew for the CIA as a contractor. He was part of Air America. Anyway, they threw a big bag of dope on his aircraft and wanted it flown to Central America. He threw it out of his aircraft and told them hell no parted company. He ended up dying from agent orange. Wonderful world we live in.
He’s peaking way too soon is DeathSantis. So far, the only place he’s proven a threat to is Florida. He may well be another Jeb Bush outside of it.
No, he has the evangelicals and faux and the money people behind him so he is not just a threat in floriduh. He is a threat to the entire country.
You mean the same money people who failed to stop Trump? And the same evangelicals whose numbers keep falling off a cliff? Whatever strengths either have stop at the Florida state line. And there is plenty of time to switch to sneakier alternatives like Youngkin in Virginia or Kemp in Georgia. THAT’S where the real danger lies, as living through W should have taught you.
so the evangs are having visions again. seems like we’ve heard that before. What’s the matter x-tians, your visions of the orange shit-gibbon not good anymore? I kind of thought visions from the creator of the universe were supposed to be what they were and not to be mucked up by humans. These idiots think their ass-wipe paper contains visions F.F.S. Is there anything these people can say that their followers would consider just too fucking stupid?
For us, it’s spelled “prophet”. For the god-botherers, it’s spelled “profit”.
Ah, I see Jim Bakker’s stint in federal prison for defrauding his followers didn’t do much to slow down the grift.
