So, this is blatantly and egregiously unconstitutional, right?
A 6-3 Supreme Court majority says it isn’t.
I mean, they haven't said that yet. While the current supreme court have made some genuinely insane rulings, they've generally at least made the pretence of trying to square everything they're doing with the constitution, albeit often in very strained or roundabout ways. I'm not sure if they'll be able to find a way to justify this (but I'm not ruling it out either).
They could justify it with the Chewbacca Defence, possibly replacing Star Wars names with arcane Latin legalese terms.

Yeah my only hope with some of this shit is that Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett actually have convictions and principles that they stand by (as horrible as those may be) and aren't willing to completely destroy the Republic in exchange for expensive vacations with a billionaire.
Not holding my breath though.
So is everything else he's doing but it doesn't seem to matter.
And who's going to enforce that? Surely Amy Handmaid Barrett and company will get right on that.
Creating an anti-religious-hate office is not, as long as it protects all religions equally. I don't think that's what this will do.
Sure, but to target "anti-christian bias" looks like being oddly specific about the religion you want to protect.
Yeah, but they're explicitly saying it's only to protect Christianity, so that throws that defense right out the window.
Wow America! You really are doing everything in your hand to become a new medieval monarchy.
You have the absolutist king, the feudal lords, the hate towards any progress...
You were missing the inquisition. WERE.
We're apparently trying to speedrun European history into 4 years or less, but in reverse, and ending in the dark ages.
Yup. Trump already named immigrants the Jews of the Black Death.
I have to say I'm impressed. You got almost there in less than a month. Right now you're missing a crusade (although the turd is working very hard on that front to "celebrate" it asap) and... maybe the public and gruesome executions, but I'm sure with enough hard work you can get there before the next year.
No one expects the Ameriklan Inquisition!
I'm too lazy to post the image, but I can imagine
Monty Python was / is great.

They are treating him like King David, this goes further back than even medieval!
Fuck you and your religion.
And this is when things get truely crazy. You ain't seen nothing yet.
the true fuckery hasn't even begun in earnest yet
I firmly believe that the fundies are trying to fulfil the prophecy of the book of revelation. Trump is playing the part of the antichrist, musk is the beast and I'm not sure who is playing satan yet but xi and Putin are both strong contenders. My concern is how the heritage Foundation interprets "lake of fire".
I just think Trump is doing all of this shit because he can, there's nobody this time around that can stop him, we rightly tried locking him up in Federal prison for the rest of his life, and he really really didn't like being mocked by Obama during the Correspondents dinner. He's going to burn it all down, and so many people are about to die, here, and all around the world.

Remember how the radical right, most especially of the more Randroid type was saying that talking about Gilead states was hyperbole and hysterical, etc...?
Then they reversed 50 years of Roe. And now this insane piece of shit is back in the office, throwing red meat to the crazies that think this is a xtian nation (or that it should be one).
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
"Good news, Trump doesn't want Congress to have any power anyway!"
Dear US,
wishing you a quiet revolution down the road to clean up this mess

Dear Quebecer,

Thank you. I'm wishing the same for myself and my fellow not-pants-on-head-crazy people in this madhouse.

The Inquisition? Nobody expected that.
It's kinda fun time travelling back a hundred years. Oh wait. No, no it isn't.
This is more of a 600 year regression to pre-Renaissance if we're being honest.
Yes but there is someone from within the last 100 years that he reminds people of

During the BLM/George Floyd protests. There are photos.
When's the last time he went in a church though.

Where does the Mayflower sail to now?
just to clarify, the Mayflower was full of puritans, who were being "persecuted" by being told they couldn't force their extremely narrow bigotry onto everyone else around them.
So, honestly, I'm all for shipping the zealots of to someplace else. They can leave the rest of us alone.
Trouble is there's not really any lands that some nation wouldn't object to a bunch of crazies being dropped off in. So either we'll need to ship them up to the moon, or force them to start working on atlantis.
Israel? They'd definitely object, but who cares at this point?
