Here’s another one of orange man’s executive orders signed today, February 6:
“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 at an event tied to the National Prayer Breakfast.
Huh?
What does this mean, exactly? What is anti-Christian bias, anyway? If I’m not mistaken, didn’t colonists come to this country in part because they wanted religious freedom – i.e., the spiritual freedom to believe what they wanted without fear of prosecution?
So does this mean your religious beliefs will be a criteria for being hired to a particular job that has nothing to do with religion? Does it mean that writers shouldn’t have christianity in their novels? Their non-fiction books? Does it mean that if, like our daughter, you’re going to be working with whales that you must do so from a christian perspective? And for whales, what the hell does that mean?
And oh, just for the record, Pam Bondi was the attorney general in Florida for awhile before she joined trump’s defense team during one of his impeachments. As AG here in Florida, she usually sided with corporations. As orange man’s AG, you can be sure she’ll perk right up when it comes to this anti-Christian bias. And that is likely to entail:
– trump is our savior because god saved him from an assassination attempt when the shooter got him in the ear-
– women should stay at home and have babies
– christianity should be taught in schools
– abortion should be banned nationwide
– men are superior to women
– white men are superior to everyone
Well, you get the idea.
But the bottom line is that one of the principles on which this country was founded was the freedom of religion. So please, trump – orange psychopath, convicted felon, grifter, general asshole – don’t presume to tell me what spiritual beliefs I can hold.
