The Trumpublican Party and Its Golden Idol!

"You shall not make gods of silver to be with me, nor shall you make for yourselves gods of gold." Exodus 20:23



I wonder -- did they make a matching GOLDEN TOILET for their idol? LOL!






A golden statue of Trump is as good a summary of CPAC and the GOP as one could possibly make.


(Former Vice President Mike Pence, Mitch McConnell, and Nikki Haley WILL NOT BE ATTENDING THE IDOL WORSHIPPING CPAC this year!)


This is what the Trumpublican Party has reduced itself to:


Worshipping a golden statue of Trump. 


(Isn't there something in the Bible about this --  worshipping golden idols --? Condemnation of worshipping a graven image?)



Wikipedia:  "According to the Bible, the golden calf was an idol (a cult image) made by the Israelites when Moses went up to Mount Sinai. In Hebrew, the incident is known as or the Sin of the Calf. It is first mentioned in Exodus 32:4."



The former Republican Party has now duplicated what was written in the Bible (Evangelicals! Listen up!) And its lesson about worshipping golden idols.









The Golden Idol, Trump, and his cultists!

If you need a gold statue of your political leader, is time to change your politics

Zach Beauchamp of VOX:

The party sacrificed its commitment to political principles, including previously cherished ideals like free trade, on the altar of Trumpism. White evangelicals abandoned their alleged commitments to godliness in public servants and embraced a man accused of serial sexual assault who had an affair with a porn star and paid her hush money to cover it up. Conservatism, once seen as a high-minded intellectual tradition, became undeniably base and degraded in the Trump years.

The GOP is now officially an idol-worshipping cult -- which, of course, we already knew, but now they're not trying to hide it anymore!

Shorts and sandals? Not Trump's look, surely. Nor is the smile, come to think of it.

Anon @10:50, Anon @12:46, and Infidel753,

The Republican Party is not a political party, it's a cult; and an accused sexual predator, rapist, known liar and cheat, and a US president who invited insurrectionists to HANG his own vice president is its idol.

Good job, Evangelicals!

When are Republicans going to realize that the Republican Party is dead?

Only the extreme part of the party is represented at CPAC. Republicans are going to continue their extreme politics in America and it seems they have 10's of millions of Americans supporting them.

What’s to go on at CPAC sadly reminds me of Hitler’s misguided followers. Yet, the GOP blindly follows a grifter, a fool, a certified loser. America freed Germany from its tyrannical psychotic leader. But, who is going to save America from its GOP traitors & misguided followers?

Love the shorts

I knew you wouldn't let this go without a post. Most news sites aren't showing the entire statue out of mercy for the president. But the head by itself is a belly laugh. It's either the stiffest flat top a barber ever crafted or a marvelous quiff like the young George Harrison. The face looks like the bear on the honey bottle. If I was Trump, I would be pissed. But it probably doesn't bother him. He enjoys the adulation. Those sandals are worthy of Moses or the Colossus of Rhodes. And, no, Trump isn't exactly the laid-back cool cat surfer type. Trump wouldn't know what to do at the beach.

Finally makes the news cycle. Good show!

That Onan's Rune is horrifying.

Now that's cringe-worthy as it gets. It's like how they 'owned the libs,' when King Clorox slithered into the White House. Then they lost the House, Many Governor mansions, state houses, finally the Senate and the White House. Yeah, Republiclowns -- keep owning us.

The crazies who have hijacked the GOP, are dangerously deranged people. From not wearing masks to wanting to blow up the Capitol to kill as many people as possible.

This is just unbelievable.

It reminds me of Bart Simpson if he'd been on meth for 30 years and accidently fell into a vat of gold paint. Truly, one of the most tacky statues I've ever seen.
