All that glitters is not gold

 MAGA Pastor's Defense Of New Golden Trump Statue Mocked With Biblical Comparison. “Saying ‘this is not a golden calf’ as you put up a golden calf doesn't cancel that fact out,” one user on X wrote. The statue, named “Don Colossus,” depicts Trump raising his fist in the air, similar to his gesture during the failed 2024 assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, and was commissioned by a group of crypto investors. (HuffPost)

Literally, Oh My God. ““This statue is not about worship. It is about honor. It is a celebration of life and a powerful symbol of resilience, freedom, patriotism, courage, and the will to keep fighting for America,” Burns wrote on X. “It also reminds us of the hand of God over President Trump’s life. We thank God for preserving him and not allowing his life to be taken, not once, but multiple times.” Said Pastor Mark Burns.

This African American Pastor, without hesitation, or any sign of embarrassment, semblance of hypocrisy identified, a man a jury found guilty of sexual harassment, a three-time adulterer, a fraudster, a blatant liar, and an overt bigot and racist, as a patriot, a fighter for freedom, and someone his God is protecting. Holy shit, Pastor Mark Burns, have you no self-esteem, have you zero truth or honor, have you only disrespect for your religion and your God!

As an African American Pastor, Mark Burns, do you not witness the demise of voting rights for the African American population? Are you blind to the injustice embraced by the Republican Party and the MAGA movement? Literally Holy Shit, Sir.

“This is absolutely idol worship,” said former Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger (Ill.)

“This is literally described in the bible as a sin,” sports and politics commentator Keith Olbermann wrote. “Maybe you could read it, ‘Pastor.’ It’s available in all popular bookstores.”
