THE REAL "TEFLON DON"

1. Presidential candidate Gary Hart was forced to drop out of the race when it was revealed he had extramarital affairs.

Trump cheated on wife #1 with wife #2 and on wife #2 with wife #3.  He paid a porn actress to keep quiet about their affair.  And he had an affair with a Playboy model.

Trump Supporters: “Trump is an honest and decent Christian and conservative.  We support him 100%.”

2. Senator Al Franken was forced to resign from Congress because he engaged in minor sexual improprieties.

Trump gleefully bragged to a tv reporter that women let him grab their pussies because he is famous.  Many women have accused Trump of various degrees of sexual assault, including rape.

Trump Supporters: “Trump is an honest and decent Christian and conservative.  We support him 100%”.

3. The campaign of Presidential candidate Mitt Romney was damaged because he paid a low effective tax rate (partially due to excessive charitable contributions).

Trump refused to release his tax returns, but when one was leaked it was learned that he paid absolutely no federal income tax in at least one year.

Trump Supporters: “Trump is an honest and decent Christian and conservative.  We support him 100%”.

And the list goes on and on.

The one and only true statement Trump has ever made is that he could shoot a man on 5^th Avenue and his base would still love him – and he would get away with it.

The bottom line –

1. Trump has committed every single “bad act” that has in the past damaged or destroyed a political career without consequence.

2. Trump supporters are complete fucking morons.

RELIGIOUS RAMBLINGS

While today I am truly a “lapsed” Protestant, I grew up as a Methodist in northern New Jersey.  Most of my family’s social life revolved around our local church.

While I have always believed that in the history of mankind more evil than good has been done in the name of a god or God or religion (sadly more true today than at any other time in my life), I credit my local church and my family’s involvement in it with shaping me into the person I am today – not because of the worshipping of a God but because of the sense of community and social activities of the congregation, the humanistic (“a strong interest in or concern for human welfare, values, and dignity”) teachings of love, acceptance, social responsibility, and “Christian” charity (these teachings are apparently no longer part of so-called “Christianity” today) and the “good works” it did in and for the larger community.

I have always thought it would be good as an alternative to actual “religion” and “worship” to be a part of a church-like organization without God that had the same sense of “community”, taught, promoted and celebrated humanistic values in a “Sunday School” and “Bible School" (without the Bible) setting and through regular weekly meetings, and engaged in social and cultural activities and “good works” – a “Summit Avenue Humanistic Fellowship” instead of a “Summit Avenue Methodist Church”.

Does this make sense?
