Things that made you Facepalm today (Political Version)

In a closed-door meeting with evangelical leaders Monday night, President Donald Trump repeated his debunked claim that he had gotten "rid of" a law forbidding churches and charitable organizations from endorsing political candidates, according to recorded excerpts reviewed by NBC News.

In fact, the law remains on the books, after efforts to kill it in Congress last year failed.

But Trump cited this alleged accomplishment as one in a series of gains he has made for his conservative Christian supporters, as he warned, "You're one election away from losing everything that you've got," and said their opponents were "violent people" who would overturn these gains "violently."

Evan McMullin on the Evangelical trump phenomenon.

I don’t believe there is another leader in modern history that has done more damage to faith in America than President Trump. By coopting much of the faith community as a willing political ally, even in his depravity, he has likely helped turn countless Americans away from God.

If that's true then good.

Silly Methais. You're a white supremacist, racist Nazi if you point out the racism expressed by black South Africans.

Love that the left now is concerned about religion.

I would think you would be overjoyed.

Personally, I don't care.

Donald Trump’s attorney Rudolph Giuliani caused a diplomatic commotion on Tuesday by complaining to the president of Romania about his country’s efforts to tackle corruption and calling for an amnesty for some convicted criminals.

In a letter to Romanian president Klaus Iohannis, which was published by Mediafax, Giuliani sharply criticised what he called “excesses made in the name of ‘law enforcement’” by Romania’s national anti-corruption directorate. The agency, he said, had used unfair tactics against suspects and intimidated judges and lawyers.

“An amnesty should be given to those who have been prosecuted and convicted through the excesses,” Giuliani said, claiming “many innocent people” had been jailed.

The state department moved to distance itself from Giuliani’s intervention. Asked if the US agreed with his remarks, a spokesman said: “Romania until recently has shown considerable progress in combating corruption and building effective rule of law. We encourage Romanians to continue on this path.”

And the train wreck continues..

Why is Rudy sending letters to the President of Romania?

No idea though I wouldn't be surprised if it's because Putin has Romania in his crosshairs and they have a hand to play in the corruption that's being brought to justice.

Yeah, totally has nothing to do with Putin threatening Romania in recent years.
