Summary

During a National Prayer Service, Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde urged Donald Trump to show mercy to immigrants and the LGBTQ+ community, prompting Trump to criticize her on Truth Social as a “Radical left hard line Trump hater.”

Trump dismissed the service as “boring” and accused Budde of politicizing religion.

Budde, known for her advocacy on justice issues, later explained her appeal aimed to encourage broader compassion.

Despite her message, Trump demanded a public apology, claiming her remarks were ungracious and uninspiring.

        Please take the next logical step… Where do they send the people they “deport,” yet who have no “home country” to be sent to?

            You are so close… I’m pretty sure others have since made my point.

            The federal government has already purchased land in Texas and New Jersey (massive disappointment, NJ) for concentration camps.

              You know you can just state the obvious don’t you?

              In my life time we’ve tried to deport one person.

              Edit; I’ve had the answer multiple times and much more politely. I was just explaining why I asked what I asked. The levels these people are prepared to go to is scary.

                Well sometimes it’s helpful to come to the conclusion yourself rather than have it spoonfed to you, in my experience.

        Doesn’t matter. First step would be an immigration detention facility. If there’s no country to deport her to, she just stays there, I guess. And while she’s there, might as well dig a hole, build a wall, or assemble furniture or something to cover the cost of housing her or some shit.

          immigration detention facility

          I think we can go ahead and call them concentration camps at this point. That’s what they will build on those 1400 acres in Texas, and that’s how they’ll be used. Convenient bureaucratic mix-ups will enable them to contain immigrants, targeted minorities and political opponents.

        Looks like she is from New Jersey originally? I guess being banished to new jersey is biblically accurate if you consider the movie Dogma to be canon.

      Genuinely scary.

        It also happened in the 50s with people the USA government decided it didn’t like the thoughts and statements of. Ruined a lot of lives.

        The nearest airlock is probably at the closest cleanroom. Not very dangerous for him. But likely very dangerous for whatever is inside that cleanroom.

      That shows how ignorant they all are, because according to Wikipedia she was born in New Jersey. So it’s telling that “deportation” is the first place they go whenever someone says something they don’t like.
