    They're convinced that this symbol of wealth, greed, and lechery is "holy and sanctified" in his mission because despite him violating basically every single one of the ten commandments they see him as "standing up against the institutional depravity" of the "heathen liberals." They eat that nonsense up.

    A little late to the Bible grift but it's awesome! I just watched vid and this bible also includes; the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence and Pledge of Allegiance. I mean people this is a grrrreat value for $59.99.

    This really is the con man sitting around and is saying "what can we sell to my idiot rubes?". Hey I read that of course Trump Social stock skyrocketed first day of trading so once more; "Sucker born every minute".

    If they believed that, they wouldn't hide all those times they cheated on their wives. Clearly they know adultery is wrong.

    Trump isn't "imperfect" he's just flat-out broken. Hey, has anyone seen Melania recently? Her son just turned 18, you'd think she'd be in the news doing something. Unless the idea of her son becoming and adult and moving out and leaving her alone with the man she married who's occasionally faithful to her and refers to her as property is, for some reason, unwelcome to her.

    It's money laundering. Churches can't legally give him campaign contributions, but they can buy overpriced bibles from him.

    Sadly the IRS has not been enforcing any of that not to mention thanks to the supreme court there's more holes in those laws than Swiss cheese.

    Trump's lawyers are now saying the Georgia election subversion trial should be dismissed because "First Amendment".

    Donald Trump’s lawyer argued Thursday the former president can’t be prosecuted in Georgia for trying to steal the 2020 election because his alleged conduct was political speech that must be protected under the First Amendment − even speech that was lies.

    “Falsity alone is not enough,” Trump's lawyer, Steven Sadow, said. “Clearly, being president at the time, dealing with elections and campaigning, calling into question what had occurred – that’s the height of political speech.”

    Sadow urged Fulton County Superior Judge Scott McAfee to dismiss the charges against Trump because they are based on his statements questioning the election results and pressuring state officials to overturn them.

    “It’s the speech that’s being punished,” Sadow said. “Take out the political speech, no charges.”

    McAfee didn’t rule immediately on the request. But he sounded skeptical that he could make any decision about whether the First Amendment protected Trump before holding the trial.

    Prosecutors argued Trump’s statements contributed to a wide-ranging conspiracy of making false statements to government officials, submitting false and forged documents and impersonating public officials. Trump asked Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a fellow Republican, to "find" the votes he would need to carry the Peach State.

    “It’s not just that he lied over and over and over again,” said prosecutor Donald Wakeford. “It’s that each of those was employed as part of criminal activity with criminal intentions.”

    U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan has already rejected Trump’s argument that his statements are protected by the First Amendment, in a federal case with similar charges of election interference. Wakeford directed McAfee to her reasoning for a detailed explanation for why Trump is wrong.

    “It’s not a basis for dismissing the indictment,” Wakeford added.

    Trump and 14 co-defendants have pleaded not guilty to election racketeering. Four defendants have pleaded guilty. McAfee hasn’t scheduled the trial yet but prosecutors have proposed starting in August.
    Weird how they didn't try this same defense back when Trump was taking his mug shot after surrendering. I think they forget that the election had already taken place, recounts had already happened, and Trump and those involved couldn't find any evidence of any wrongdoing. I hope those lawyers are making sure they get paid.


    All the while another defendent in the same case says it should be dismissed because.....

    Gillen argued that no electors – neither Republicans nor Democrats – should have been recognized because a Trump and Shafer lawsuit challenging the results was still pending Dec. 14, 2020.

    “There were no duly elected and qualified presidential electors from the state of Georgia,” Gillen said.

    Gillen also complained about prosecutors calling Shafer and others “fake electors” and argued the phrase should be removed from the indictment.

    “It’s a pejorative statement,” Gillen said.
    Aw, is the criminal upset that they're being called something after they tried subverting democracy? Is there anyone that's at least somewhat smart within Trump's orbit? Universe? Anyone?

    So no, it's not weird. It would be weird if I bought a $1,000 piece of art out of the blue, but it wouldn't be if I'd just been given $10,000.

    You're buying it for the experience. The experience of making Jesus American, and also, of money laundering. Yes @Masark I saw what you wrote, I agree.

    Your local Church would probably be happy to hook you up with a free copy, or put you in touch with a parishioner who can give you one, if you REALLY want a Bible that bad.

    I get paying more for a nice copy of a book you like, I have many of those, but this is just gross.

    Though I kind of want one for the novelty. But I'll wait until I see one at a yard sale or a 2nd hand goods store after the election.

    Based on past performance, you should be able to pick on up for cheap/free from some Very Smart People(TM) who bought a bunch thinking they'd be a great investment.

    Trump Coins
    Trump NFTs
    Trump Sneakers
    Trump Bibles

    (and this is just from his election/re-election campaign)

    But remember he turned down the traditional Presidential salary...

    Trump isn’t trying to spread the message of the good word, he’s trying to spread the message that his is the word.

    I suspect there are a few of those sorts in this area, so I anticipate seeing some show up next year. Provided Trump loses and the Republicans dont replace the Constituion with this book.

    but you get the Constitution, you know the amendment where it talks about committing insurrection against the US. The Bill Rights, which talks about no state sponsored religion. Declaration of Independence, which gives us our first hope that all men are created equal. excpet.... You Know. Pledge of Allegiance which is well nothing really; who cares about some patriotic dribble.

    What you get is the fantasy that Jeeezus himself rubbed each and every bible himself between his balls and thus proving that Jeeezus founded the USA (Christian nationalist actually believe this). So you better D ride this nation so hard cause if you don't then you are obviously not patriot enough and religious enough.

    For some reason that got me remembering. Dating in the 90's and early 00's, a big red flag was if a guy had a "pocket constitution".

    May seem strange, but selling Bibles...this is going to hurt Trump.
