President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

You ever watch that Romanovs doc?
In it, the Bolshevik Revolution was fully portended by Czar Paul, son of Catherine the Great, in a letter written 100 years prior.
Well, some mad monk on par with Rasputin told Paul his predictions, and many of them were on the money.

 

I'm halfway through. Elizabeth just died and idiot Peter III is on the throne now. Soon to be deposed by Catherine the Great.

Production graphics are exquisite.

 

For some reason, the name Czar Paul struck me as so very plain for a czar so I looked him up. Guy looks like Leif Garrett.

 

The production values are the best I've seen for a historical documentary.
Even the acting is first-rate. Not much dialogue and the actors are expected to convey an emotion and advance the narrative with a mere glance or expression.
My favorite as a young student of Russian history was Sofia.
She was a pistol who had the misfortune of being female in 1682 Moscow, being related to the headstrong Peter the Great and being nowhere in the chain of succession.
If Sofia remains regent and has Peter executed then Russian history goes altogether differently.

 

Quid promotion quo

You foolish evangelicals, Trump has bewitched you
This is an amazing takedown of the evangelical trump supporters I found scrolling through those twitter feeds. Hopefully somebody is listening.

 

This photo still boggles the mind. Jesus Christ, people, HE'S NOT JESUS!

 

You can't make this stuff up -- wait, yes you can!

 

I’m sad to say it’ll be a hard sell. And in effect the church is to blame. It hasn’t done a good enough job making its members and attendees feel a part of or loved in “the Christian world” in ways that strengthen a person’s core identity and convictions, and make it easier to reject phony salesmen like Trump.

 

Neither one can hit a curveball, so they must have been confused.

 

Trump Christianity is nothing but Terror Islam substituting Jesus for Allah. Same religion. Same tolerance. Slightly different Nouns.

 

They have the right idea, though. He needs a LOT of praying for.
