Unbelievable

Fucking unbelievable. Trump is an atheist and only pretends to be a Christian to keep the far right Christian Taliban onside.

In a TV interview a few years ago Trump claimed his favourite book is the Bible. When the interviewer asked him to quote his favourite verse he couldn't give her an answer. He never goes to church even at Christmas and Easter like other presidents do.

In that photo opportunity outside the DC church Trump held the Bible up in the air upside down with no reaction or comment from the religious right.

Video posted for sake of humor - Patton, unlike Trump, was actually very religious.

I think he gave the very Trumpian answer "I don't really want to get into that; I like all of it", which was pure bullshit.

He's the political equivalent of a chameleon. Everyone knows he'll do and say what it takes to achieve his aims. Everyone knows he's a liar; no interviewer is prepared to call him out.

Senator Feinstein passed away. A legend here in lots of ways (she was mayor of SF after Moscone was assassinated), though she overstayed her terms as senator. RIP.

Senator Dianne Feinstein, an 'icon for women in politics,' dies at 90

Senator Dianne Feinstein's career was filled with firsts, including first woman mayor of San Francisco and one of two of the first women elected to the U.S. Senate from California.

Point of order. Anybody who comes out with the action word ‘Discuss’, I automatically think ‘Fuck off, you Wanker’.

That won’t be a problem!

A legend. But also a pain in the arse in not standing down when clearly too old to do the job. She was 90 ffs.

The Governor of California will select a new Senator until a special election is held.
