It's emblematic of the feeling of relief sane people all over the country are feeling today.

This is an example when true life is funnier than satire could hope to be.

If she really believes in what she is doing here, then this is mental illness.

I doubt that Paula White is actually mentally ill. She is just another successful con-artist deliberately appealing to the stupidest and most gullible Christians. I'm sure that the majority of Christians are rational enough recognize her for the fraud she is, and resent the mockery she is making of the credibility and relevance of Christianity in general.

No doubt at all about that. Nor do I think for a second that she really believes in what she is doing, except that she believes she can get extremely wealthy by her religious charlatanism. That is all she really cares about, and that is what Trump admires her for. After all, he is a consummate charlatan himself--arguably one of the most successful charlatan in history, considering the high office he managed to con his way into.

‘You Have Disappointed Me,’ Trump Tells Room Full Of Supporters While Strapping On Gas Mask

Image

WASHINGTON—Pacing slowly back and forth as he delivered his words, President Donald Trump reportedly told a room full of his supporters, “You have disappointed me” Wednesday while strapping on a gas mask. “The only thing I ever asked of you was your support, and indeed you’ve failed me at that,” said Trump, securing the military-grade breathing device in place as the sound of a click and hiss broke the stunned silence and a dark, noxious fume engulfed the terrified crowd. “You’ve followed me through the dawn of my rise and my darkest hours, and I always counted you among my most loyal disciples. But now I can see my trust was misplaced. I can’t believe I put faith in your obedience. You’re weak—all of you, weak.” At press time, Trump slowly headed for the exit, treading over the mass of still, silent bodies on the floor with a crunch.
