Trump's Appointments

[Politesse]

It does us no good to circulate falsified stories as though they were fact.

Right. Its actually harmful to your cause/side. People will find out its false and after a few more times of catching you in a lie, they'll be highly distrustful of anything and everything you put out...even the true stuff. Think about the old fable of The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

Hasn’t hurt Trump of Fox News one bit up to this point.

This "success" of theirs has nearly destroyed our entire drmocratic process. No one benefits from that, in the long term. They will go down with the ship also, in the end.

I doubt it. They (Murdochs) will shamelessly pander to whatever power structure emerges.

There is also the effect that if you say it long enough and loud enough (and get a media outlet to repete it) uninformed or indoctranated sheeple will believe anything.

Just what we need. Another Fox on-the-job-drunkard.

Hegseth went to ‘Christian nationalist’ church whose leader wants US theocracy

Doug Wilson has faced criticism for right-wing views on feminism, slavery, and gay marriage

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth reportedly attended a service at Christ Church Washington D.C., a church affiliated with self-identified Christian nationalist Doug Wilson, an influential right-wing leader who seeks to turn the U.S. and other nations into Christian-led theocracies.

Hegseth and his family were in attendance at the church’s inaugural service in Washington in July, CNN reports.

“The Secretary is a proud member of a church affiliated with the Congregation of Reformed Evangelical Churches, which was founded by Pastor Doug Wilson,” Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement to The Independent. “The Secretary very much appreciates many of Mr. Wilson’s writings and teachings.”

The reported attendance is not the first time Hegseth has been linked to Wilson and his movement, which has occupied positions including that the U.S. should repeal the 19th Amendment, which grants women the right to vote, that the Supreme Court should strike down gay marriage, that slavery produced “genuine affection between the races,” and that women should submit to their husbands.

The pastor has also stated the US Constitution should be scrapped and replaced with an evangelical Christian based document.

Evil scumbag nominate evil scumbags. I only wish Congress would stop rubber stamping the terrible nominations. But over half of Congress are still seditionists.
