    No wonder this administration is SO confused about their alleged Christianity; their leader thinks he’s Jesus, their Secretary of War misquotes Ezekiel 25:17 w/a Tarantino film quote, their VP thinks the Pope should concentrate on morality not a convicted FELON killing folks in useless war, etc 🤦‍♂️

    When the "war" Secretary reads a pseudo bible verse adapted from a movie like Pulp Fiction, we're all in deep shit together, because that means the Secretary of Defense, who drops bombs on a foreign country, is not a serious person and models himself after characters in action movies.

    Operation Epic Fury should be the name of an operation planned by a drunk American “Secretary of War” in a parody movie about the start of world war three but no here we are living it because a bunch of stupid men, some ungodly rich, thought the internet was stopping them from using enough slurs.

    ICE has taken Chinese dissident Guan Heng into custody and is threatening to return him to China. Guan Heng risked his life to film the Uyghur concentration camps—the same camps Secretary of State Rubio opposed when he sponsored the “Uyghur Force Labor Prevention Act” as a US senator.

    Now that the US president is a character from a reality TV show & the Secretary of Defense is a TV host who wants to pretend he's in an action movie & immigration enforcement has been turned into a rip-off of COPS, can we finally admit the critics were right & reality TV really is bad for society?

    Hegseth seems to constantly imagine he’s starring in a Hollywood film, playing the ‘tough guy’ Secretary of ‘WAR’. I’m not sure he can differentiate between a real-life killing and one in the movies - or perhaps he’s just permanently alcohol-addled? But this is barbarism & America’s moral collapse.
