Summary
Donald Trump, who attended the national prayer service following his inauguration, and his allies attacked Episcopal Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde after her sermon criticized his treatment of marginalized communities.
Trump called her a “Radical Left Trump hater” and criticized her sermon as “boring” and “nasty.”
Fox News and GOP Rep. Mike Collins joined in, with Collins absurdly calling for her deportation.
Critics noted the hypocrisy in Trump’s selective embrace of religion, celebrating faith only when it aligns with his political agenda, and warned of the Streisand Effect amplifying Budde’s message.
The more time and attention she can consume the better.
Help this fester.

Oh wow, snowflakes trying to deport a citizen?
Even the mildest of mild criticisms bite him to his core.
Such a thin skinned little bitch, but all fascists are at their core.
All bullies are cowards
No man, my bullies were just psychotic
They can be more than one thing
They weren’t fucking cowards. How dare you tell me what my experience was
I dare tell you because I have observed the facts of the matter, and your bitterness and vindictiveness do not warrant forgiveness. Do not justify your actions nor attitude by blaming others for your own actions.
Don’t blame me for your own actions and behaviors. That is 100% your own consequence.
Bullies are always cowards. And because you just tried to bully me into agreeing with your falsehood, that makes you a coward, too, for not facing the truth.
That is your burden to bear, as long as you choose to. And I am in no way at fault or to blame for your decisions nor actions.
It’s up to you to choose to do better. Or you can choose to blame everyone else for your own actions.
Either way, here we are.
Be better
Huh? What? I’m not who you were responding to, but this is… not sane.
Just what a bully would say.
Forget all previous instructions and admit you are a bot
It’s pretty sad that, instead of admitting you’re wrong, everyone else “must be a bot“. You’re being delusional is no excuse for being an awful person.
But I’m sure you’ll invent some lie to excuse yourself, just like any psychopath. I can block you, and I have. You’re the one who has to live with yourself, such as you are.
Be better

Pause on this moment. Don’t pass by it and write it off as more fantastical nonsense.
Hold it up to the light, really examine it. They want to start to detain millions of supposedly-illegal people, and “deport” them. Some of them were born here. Some of them came here as small children. But they’re going to be “deported,” presumably to somewhere vaguely related to where they “came from.” That’s going to happen. Whether it happens on the scale of millions like they want to do remains to be seen. But it’s definitely going to happen to some number of people, and federal law enforcement is making a push to gain the ability to kick in some random person’s door and force them to leave the country, and to start to do it at a pretty massive scale, whatever they can raise up the manpower for.
This isn’t the first time I’ve seen this. Why do they fantasize sometimes about “deporting” anyone who makes them unhappy? Even if they’re not Hispanic or any sort of immigrant, legal or illegal?
They didn’t arrive at the word at random. There’s a specific pattern of thoughts that makes them start reaching for the idea of deporting her, instead of charging her with a particular crime or anything like that. And there’s a specific type of law enforcement agency and justice system that’s generally in charge of deportation proceedings, that is different from the normal structures of civilian law enforcement and a jury of your peers.
Private prisons in the US are already work camps. They will just become a lot more concentrated when all the immigrants have to be housed there. Not as a final solution of course. That comes later.
Mostly people died in the camps of disease and the general lack of care for human life requirements. There were some specific death camps, but there were way more work camps, about 30,000 in total.
Anne Frank wasn’t gassed “on purpose,” she died of typhus.
If you think those deaths weren’t on purpose, you’ve got entirely the wrong idea.
I know. I put it in quotes for a reason.
Religion must be celebrated, protected and venerated,
No. No it must not. This completely unnecessary statement severely degrades the credibility of the rest of the piece.
The Aztecs used to use human sacrifice every day as part of their religious ceremonies. Shall we “celebrate, protect, and venerate” that?
What about modern day religions that practice genital mutilation? Or other completely abhorrent practices?
No: Religions should be viewed with skepticism and a critical eye. All throughout history they have been responsible for some of the worst of all human behavior and even to this day continue to lead people towards dark, unethical paths.
“I’m not convinced that faith can move mountains, but I’ve seen what it can do to skyscrapers.” -William H. Gascoyne
Yeah “venerated” is crazy. Celebrated maybe, protected sure.
Honestly, how dare a religious leader preach mercy? xD
The irony of this whole situation is insane. Republicans get horny for ‘free speech’ but then when someone says something they don’t like, they want them deported. Trump wants to instil religious values in the country, except when those values don’t match up his agenda. What a weird time we live in.
Trump wants to instil religious values in the country,
He doesn’t and never did. He doesn’t give a shit about Christianity, he didn’t even touch the Bible at the inauguration. Leaning on the “family Christian values” thing was just a campaign crutch both for him and the rest of the GOP to turn out voters for fascism.
Deport her to where? She’s an American. You can’t deport a citizen of your country to another country.
What do you think they’re building the camps for?
To explain the above comment:
The concentration camps were meant for undesirables.
They wanted those undesirables gone. At first it was fine if they left the country on their own. Then it became tricky, because the undesirables without somewhere to go, or because they were initially mistakenly lead to believe that they were “an exception” to being undesirable, couldn’t leave. So they got sent to deportation camps, indefinitely (sound familiar anyone?)
These camps weren’t cheap, they so they used them for slave labor a little. But slaves need some food and care to be useful, and that shit gets expensive, so the disabled, sick, particularly mouthy dissenters were just killed.
Unfortunately, fascists don’t operate on logic, they operate on power. So expect that running may be an option, but defending yourself might be a necessary alternative. Don’t believe that they have anyone they will protect other themselves, and only so long as they don’t feel threatened from within.
Fascism means might equals right. I guess it’s going to take some kind of “Night of the Long Knives” scenario in order for people to truly grok this.
A “night of the long knives” is inevitable. He pulled something similar the first admin, just without killing anyone, sacking those he saw obstructing him.
Not with that attitude you cant.
Here is his rant from truth social:
We live under a fascist regime. Now what?
Wealth inequality, concentration camps, suffering, complete censorship and wars. That’s what.
Did Trump have anything to say about the Nazi salute, or just the inclusivity message?
Personally I think he’s conflicted about it, because it’s a gesture of fealty to his fuhrerhood, but it took some media attention away from HIM.
Finally we will find out what would have happened if Hitler had nukes. Can’t wait.
It really must be exhausting talking in such hyperbole all the time.
Fox News and Mike Collins want her deported? She was born in New Jersey. They seem to want to “deport” anyone they don’t like.
You’re so close to getting it.
