This was an SNL skit from the Trump years.
Who would have believed while watching this that Trump would actually debase himself and the Christian religion by hawking his Trump-autographed Bibles for $60 during Holy Week 2024, as a source for raising money for his teams of lawyers defending him in his many criminal indictments.
But here we are:

There are many, many reasons for loving US Representatives Jamie Raskin and Jared Moskowitz
They both made fools of the very foolish Trump lackeys in the House who trumped up false "high crimes and misdemeanors" against President Biden because the adjudicated sexual assaulter/rapist and tax fraudster told them to.
Bravo to the brilliant US Representatives Raskin and Moskowitz for showing the country what utterly embarrassing clowns the Republicans are who carried on this abomination of a farce of an obscenity of a show:

TRUMP AND MAGA CALL THIS CRIMINAL A "HOSTAGE AND PATRIOT"
On January 5, 2021, Mr. Biggs went to DC to where he instructed his fellow domestic terrorists to "blend in" and "get ready for tomorrow, we have a plan."
On January 6, 2021, Mr. Biggs executed his plan. He cut down fencing, used walkie-talkies to communicate with other terrorists, and was among the first to breach the Capitol. Once inside, he made a video where he bragged, "this is awesome."
By most accounts he entered through the Senate side where a window had been smashed out with a police riot shield.
On January 18, 2021, Mr. Biggs admitted to the FBI that he entered the Capitol on Jan 6. He was arrested, allowed home confinement, and was finally tried over a 3-month period ending in May 2023.
Biggs was found guilty of seditious conspiracy; obstructing an official proceeding and criminal conspiracy thereto; conspiracy to prevent an officer from discharging any duties; interference with law enforcement during civil disorder; and destruction of government property.
Judge Timothy Kelly ruled that Biggs' destruction of a fence separating rioters and police qualified the defendant for "a terrorism sentencing enhancement sought by prosecutors," who asked for a 33-year sentence.
Prior to sentencing, Biggs apologized to the court, blaming his actions on personal and familial difficulties, and conceded that "I know that I have to be punished, and I understand".
After being convicted by a jury of his peers, on August 31, Judge Kelly sentenced Biggs to 17 years of federal imprisonment.
Donald Trump has called Mr. Biggs a hostage.
J.D. Vance says he was unfairly sentenced.
If Trump wins in November, one of his first acts will be to pardon Joseph Randall Biggs and his fellow domestic terrorists.
Trump, his MAGA politicians, and cultists do not respect the rule of law.

Trump says Jews who vote for Democrats ‘hate Israel’ and ‘their religion’, igniting a firestorm of criticism from the White House and Jewish leaders.
"Jonathan Greenblatt, who heads the Anti-Defamation League, said, 'Accusing Jews of hating their religion because they might vote for a particular party is defamatory & patently false.' ”

TRUMP WELCOMED THIS ANTI-DEMOCRACY AUTOCRAT TO HIS HOME AT MAR-A-LARGO
Orban has condemned the idea of a “mixed race” society in Hungary.
Trump declaimed that immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country."
Trump welcomed Hungarian leader Viktor Orban to his Mar-a-Lago home last week, offering unqualified praise for Orban’s strongman approach to politics.
“There’s nobody that’s better, smarter or a better leader than Viktor Orban. He’s fantastic,” Trump said during a reception Friday evening. “He does a great job. He’s a noncontroversial figure because he says, ‘This is the way it’s going to be,’ and that’s the end of it. Right? He’s the boss.”
[skip]
Under Orban, Hungarian democracy has withered. There are still elections, but ones in which there are no significant threats to his ruling coalition. Orban has often allied with the autocratic leaders of China and Russia against other European nations and against NATO. But understanding of this shift hasn’t permeated the American consciousness, allowing Orban to be celebrated as a strong leader by Trump and the broader right without the baggage that comes from, say, bolstering positions held by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
[skip]
When Americans have been asked how they feel in the abstract about the broader prospect of a strongman leader — such as whether presidents should be empowered to break rules or to subvert the media, Republicans and conservatives have been more supportive of those ideas than have liberals or Americans overall.
Among them is Donald Trump, seeking to return to the White House
Orbán’s Hungary is a textbook case of democratic backsliding, characterized by state capture of public institutions; assaults on minority rights, especially migrant, Roma, and LGBTQ rights; aggressive nationalist rhetoric; and attacks on the rule of law.
In 2011, the introduction of a new constitution marked a pivotal shift in Hungary’s political trajectory, pushing it toward an electoral autocracy, by which autocratic leadership gains power in elections that are neither free nor fair. The new constitution and accompanying legislative changes initiated a strategic redrawing of electoral districts, a culling of parliamentary seats from 386 to 199, and the adoption of the so-called winner compensation mechanism, whereby a proportion of votes from the losing party in elections are tallied for the winner.
Viktor Orbán’s actions have punctuated a critical moment of challenge to democracy and the trans-Atlantic security order.
Under Orbán’s leadership, Fidesz took advantage of these changes to further consolidate its grip on power. Beginning in 2014, Orbán’s allies started to acquire the country’s major media companies. They transformed news outlets into voices for the regime—or closed them down altogether. By 2019, media control resulted in 80 percent of public affairs programming being directly or indirectly financed from sources connected to the ruling party. The government also introduced one of Europe’s strictest foreign agent laws, which requires nongovernmental organizations receiving foreign financing to identify themselves and, in some cases, prohibits non-Hungarian entities from operating in the country. These conditions forced the Central European University to all but cease operations in Budapest in late 2018.
Yet the gravest threat to Hungarian democracy has come in the form of attacks against the judiciary: Budapest established a new tier of special administrative courts, transferring oversight directly to the government; packed the Constitutional Court of Hungary with partisan judges; and extended term limits from nine to 12 years—though authorities have since suspended parts of these laws.
Until we can tackle the epidemic of fear, we're going to fall under authoritarian rule.
Trump's rise was the result of a fearful electorate in which Osama and Obama were equally threatening. Republican politics are based entirely on fear motivation. Fox News, et al, are fear messengers 24/7.
Fearful people want a strong figure to make them feel safe. The fact they have chosen Donald Trump of all people is a cosmic joke, but if not him, they'd cling to some other autocrat.
the Founders really missed the boat when it comes to dealing with a domestic insurgency like MAGA.
Apparently, there is nothing in our founding documents that prevents a political party that embraces autocracy, fascism, and kleptocracy, and is willing to foment violence to achieve their anti-democratic goals. We already knew the Founders had a blindside when it came to women and people of color. It is surprising that we have gotten this far without a Constitutional crisis.
Orban is in power because he rules the media with an iron fist. But also because the people of Hungary enjoy benefits and a standard of living the people of America can only dream about- and hope that if Trump gets in power again, the little that they do have is not going to be taken away.
Hungary has government sponsored health care, prescriptions, paid maternity leave, subsidies and all encompassing help for young families and children, a right to abortions, strict gun control, price control at the pump, and the list goes on. Hungarians do not go bankrupt due to medical bills, or have to decide whether to buy insulin or food.
What Orban is so famous for in the US, his anti-LGBTQ, anti-immigrant, pro-Christian, anti-muslim, anti-media, anti-liberal education stance is no different from what Republicans, and especially Trump, espouse and want to force on the rest of us.
That is the massive difference between Trump and Orban. Trumps' voters settle for absolutely nothing in exchange. While Orban's voters enjoy benefits Trump voters aren't even "woke" enough to expect.
Current law in Hungary on abortion:
Abortion is regulated under the Act LXXIX of 1992 on the protection of fetal life. Under this law, an abortion is normally allowed until 12 weeks. However, in certain circumstances the limit can be extended to 18, 20 or 24 weeks.
Victor Orban, the authoritarian leader of Hungary and Putin’s only ally in Europe, who recently met Trump in Mar-a-Lago, says that if Trump wins the election he’ll cut off all aid to Ukraine and the “war will be over” (Russia will take over Ukraine.)

FOUND ON A MAGA SITE:
This is the “unspoken” rules of our ideology. ”You may not criticize a minority (unless their white skinned or (R) or MAGA). In those specific cases, we give you permission. All those who violate this rule will be cancelled.”
The writer of this complaint conveniently (or purposefully?) doesn't mention how the MAGAs cancel bona fide conservative members of their own clan, without "prosecutorial discretion."
If you're not slavishly loyal to Trump (even when he commits crimes), you're out, you're shunned, you're exiled from the Party!
Remember what happened to Liz Cheney? Adam Kinzinger? the late John McCain? Mitt Romney? Charlie Baker? Paul Ryan? Nikki Haley? John Kelly? Mike Esper? Cassidy Hutchinson?
The list goes on and on.
The person who wrote the above bolded and italicized quote ignores the fact the the BIGGEST enforcers of non-diversity, equity, and inclusion will throw your Republican posterior out of the Party UNLESS you pledge allegiance to Trump and his MAGAs.
Conservatives who put country first are not welcome in the new Trumpublican Party. You may not criticize Trump, an adjudicated rapist and tax fraudster. Remember, all those who violate this rule will be cancelled, as Liz Cheney and others have found out. Diversity in the Trumpian Party BE DAMNED! This is the unspoken rule of the Trumpian ideology. Worship him or you're OUT! Only unquestioning sycophants are allowed.
All those who violate this rule have been and will be cancelled. Any other Conservative or American who puts country over Party need not apply for membership in this Toadying to Trump Party!
PS. White-skinned Americans are NOT a minority in this country. (Yet.)

"Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX), the former White House physician, was demoted by the U.S. Navy following an inspector general's report that found he acted inappropriately while serving under then-president Donald Trump.
The Navy demoted the two-term congressman from a retired admiral to captain, which carries serious financial implications and a social stigma among military circles, after the Pentagon inspector general faulted him for creating a hostile work environment and drinking and taking drugs while on duty as the president's doctor, reported the Washington Post.
'The substantiated allegations in the DoDIG [Department of Defense Office of Inspector General] investigation of Rear Adm (lower half) Ronny Jackson are not in keeping with the standards the Navy requires of its leaders and, as such, the Secretary of the Navy took administrative action in July 2022,' said Lt.
