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.
They want to deport her for hurting his feelings.
Hm, Putting people that openly criticise the party on “a list”. Where have I heard this before?
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.

I want to deport tRump out the nearest airlock. We can all dream.
The nearest airlock is probably at the closest cleanroom. Not very dangerous for him. But likely very dangerous for whatever is inside that cleanroom.
Deport her where? Honestly these people allegedly so freedom of speech are such snowflakes.
Madagascar perhaps? Not that anybody would follow up.
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.
I thought they were banished to Wisconsin or Minnesota.
Hmmm… I might have been heretical then. Been a while since I’ve seen it, maybe I just subliminally associate Kevin Smith with New Jersey for some reason?
The church was in New Jersey, so that is where they were trying to get to. I happen to have the DVD and watched it within the last year
Ahh, well now I’ll have to download and watch it out of penance.
It’s code for death camps.
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.
The fact that it’s in Texas already makes it cruel and unusual punishment.
Sounds familiar :(
Much more practical to revoke her church’s tax exempt status.
Still makes no sense. She appealed to empathy, and she should be punished?
If she appealed to punishment, she would get empathy
You found the loophole
The camps they are building soon.
Please take the next logical step… Where do they send the people they “deport,” yet who have no “home country” to be sent to?
That was my point, this woman is American….where are they gonna send her?
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.
Trump has no feelings. He’s just a Markov process of assholery.
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.
They know.
The Trump crowd being upset at a pastor for saying show mercy and leave trans people alone just shows how they use religion for aesthetics only.
There is no way these people legit think they have any chance of reaching the gates of heaven.
Yup, anyone who disagrees with Trump about treating people like garbage is a radical leftist. Sounds about right. I’m so siked for a decade of this.
Her church is your church you moron.
I don’t give a rat’s ass about religion, any of them. I also applaud that woman’s bravery.
To be honest she’s probably lucky this is week one and not a year in, when Trump would have her shot as an enemy of the president and criminal of the state.
Hey, Donald. Shut the fuck up.
Does he need a safe space for his snowflake ego?
If only he was in a retirement home where he should be
Or a jail cell.
Awwww, Trump is one special snowflake who cannot take criticism
He was a child last time, but now he’s a toddler throwing temper tantrums. I’m not sure if it’s his cognitive decline or just the fact that he can do whatever the fuck he wants without any consequence. Probably both.
Politicizing… If he projects any harder he’s going to start burning shit with his eyeballs like god damn cyclops.
He asks a priest asking for compassion an act that requires an apology, whilst being silent on Elon doing a fucking nazi salut. NICE PRIORITIES.
Leviticus 19:33-34 When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.
Leviticus 24:22 You are to have the same law for the foreigner and the native-born. I am the LORD your God.
1 John 4:20 If anyone says, “I love God,” yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.
Proverbs 31:8-9 Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.
Deuteronomy 15:11 For the poor will never cease from the land; therefore I command you, saying, ‘You shall open your hand wide to your brother, to your poor and your needy, in your land.’
Homeboy signed that thang with, “I am the LORD,” too. I’m not a Christian but if I were, I’d understand that there’s no two ways about whats being demandad and evern required as a follower of the Christian faith from numerous uno, the Don himself, in plane black and white.
I feel and live this way without such demands from the centerpiece of a religion and it’s the easiest and best way to live. Life is so messy and brutally hard sometimes and the last thing any of us need is having to haul around a worthless 200lb sack of hate over our shoulder every step we take. Let it go and you’re life will change radically for the better.
He’s trying to steal our rights, his petty bullshit is just distraction
Not just our rights, public money too.
Trying?
I’m so glad the government isn’t trying to control speech now that Biden is out.
sigh
