President Donald Trump revealed on Thursday at the National Prayer Breakfast an executive order instructing Attorney General Pam Bondi to seek out and prosecute “anti-Christian bias.”

“To confront such weaponization and religious persecution, today I’m signing an executive order to make our Attorney General, who’s a great person — she’s going to be a great Attorney General — Pam Bondi the head of a task force, brand new, to eradicate anti-Christian bias,” Trump said. “About time, right? Anti-Christian bias. Yeah, never heard of that one before, right?”

“So many times you hear, but you don’t hear the anti-Christian bias,” he continued. “The mission of this task force will be to immediately halt all forms of anti-Christian targeting and discrimination within the federal government, including at the DOJ, which was absolutely terrible.”

Trump suggested the FBI and IRS were “terrible” for targeting Christians.

“In addition, the task force will work to fully prosecute anti-Christian violence and vandalism in our society and to move heaven and earth to defend the rights of Christians and religious believers nationwide,” he added. “You’ve never had that before, but this is a very powerful document I’m signing.”

“You get it now. First time you’ve had it. If we don’t have religious liberty, then we don’t have a free country. We probably don’t even have a country.”

    The fuck?

    There’s a bias here that is exceptionally pro-christian. Always has been and the femtosecond anyone else gains ground they come swinging bibles as clubs.

    Am christian and i’m sick of it. Get your bullshit out of My faith. Because What Would Jesus Do includes flipping tables and going after abusive jerks with a whip.

      Is a tool to distract from the massive tariff-tax increases against the people that this propaganda targets, and likely a tool to attack any intellectual dissention from academia; very calculated it seems

      I agree with the rejection of pro-cristian privilege, but as an atheist I say “get your religion out of everything except your private worship”. That includes revoking tax exception for any religion or cult.

    Freedom of speech, and freedom from religion cannot be censored by the US government. Fuck off with your hate cult!

      You know, that applies when we had either or both of 1) an executive branch that gave a damn about the rule of law, 2) a legislative branch that would hold the executive accountable if they did not. We have neither now. It’s the 30s again and the rich and powerful just did their ‘break glass in case of dropping profit’ option again. Except this time we don’t have either of the major players we did last time to put it down.

    Pretty sure Satan is in the Bible so hail Satan. I hope s/he enjoys all the hypocrites they’re going to receive.

    Bondi’s holy crusade? More like federalized persecution fetish. Since when does the party of “small government” creampuff the DOJ into policing Sunday school butthurt?

    Paula White—the grifter who prayer-jacked millions—now architects faith policy? Next milestone: tax-exempt jet fleets and federal grants for speaking-in-tongues AI startups.

    Those “persecuted” clinic invaders Trump pardoned? Domestic terrorists with a Psalmbook. But sure, let’s canonize screaming at nurses as sacramental theater.

    And his messiah complex“God sculpted my cheekbones to deflect bullets”—while orphans burn in Medicaid gaps. Divine intervention’s got a MAGA-tier PR team.

    Prayer Breakfast unity evaporated faster than communion wine. Morning psalms, afternoon executive-order napalm. This isn’t piety—it’s state-sanctioned blasphemy with a task force badge.

    Attorney General Pam Blondi will relentlessly pursue the unprecedented far-leftist persecution of Christians in the USA!! /S

      tRump will probably instruct her to do that because the world’s worst apocalyptic death cult is itself a useful weapon for the few ideologies that are worse than itself.

    I have a feeling that its primary role will be to halt any investigation on pro-Trump agitators that at least claim to be christian.
