There’s a lot of fucked up things going on but one of the biggest pieces of evidence we’re entering something verging on totalitarianism is the reaction to what this woman said. It was barely critical and the most basic appeal to mercy for people being marginalized and the right lost their mind over it. Go read the thread in r/conservative about it if you think I’m exaggerating.
The entire Trump family sat there with stank ass bitch face like how dare someone talk to us and say anything we don’t want to hear. He’s supposed to be a fucking public servant. He’s supposed to hear dissent. Now they want to get rid of her.
I am an atheist, and have no love for any religion. But, I will say, as somebody who has actually read the bible, Jesus’ whole thing was standing for the average follower, and fighting the establishment (that’s basically why he was executed.) So, she is far closer to Jesus, than any loud mouth Christian who bashes the poor and desperate and praises the President for making their lives even harder.
Trump is closer to a self-absorbed Roman Governor figure than he is to a Jesus figure.
Actually glad to see bravery like hers. Sidenote, this has probably been said before, but all I see is Kate McKinnon.
I’m not a Chritian, but what she talked about is what I always thought Christianity was about. Her compassion. Her speaking truth to power. She is a real inspiration.
Jesus definitely spent a good chunk of his ministry sticking it to the man.
She’s big news because she’s rare. Hate to tell you, but she’s brave because she’s almost alone. Sad state of affairs.
Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, whose direct appeal to President Trump for mercy on behalf of immigrants and the L.G.B.T.Q. community made headlines on Tuesday, was also publicly critical of Mr. Trump during his first term.

Kate McKinnon has some range!
“Love your neighbor as yourself” – Jesus
I gotta take notes
Hallelujah
She was the only person in that room who actually read the bible
please keep her safe 🙏
The fun thing about religion is that it can mean whatever you want it to mean at any given time. The contradictions bolster the strength of the system because it’s an endless toolkit to justify one decision of convenience, strategy, and the accumulation of power after the other.
There’s nothing quite so fickle and plastic as the “never changing” will of the gods. That’s because the gods and these systems are just artifacts of our own psychology.
So when the Pope or a KKK member or a Republican or a person working behind the counter at a soup kitchen says they are a Christian, I believe them. Otherwise, we’re just talking about Scotsmen all the way down.
The impressive thing about her is not that she’s a Christian, but rather that she spoke the truth and made an appeal for justice.
Kate McKinnon on SNL this week?
God bless that woman.
Amen
Amen!
Amen pastor
I’m not a Christian, and have been recently accused of being aligned with The Antichrist. Probably because I have photos and a statue of Baphomet in prayer position on one of my altars, but that’s my personal religious beliefs.
Anyways…I was applauding while watching this woman’s speech. Let’s give her Sainthood for 2025, along St Luigi Mangione (Patron Saint of American Healthcare Justice).
What color is a bishop’s cape?
I can totally see Kate McKinnon doing a cold open on SNL this weekend as her. Lots of possibilities for this skit and it would totally get under his skin.
I’m out of the loop, who is this and what are so many people praising her for?
I believe she may have been the only one in the room that day
Picture of a great citizen of this world.
She’s read the book… Trump really shouldnt be allowed to attack her without doing the same.
LOL
For sure!
I hope I can be this brave when it matters. God bless her.
Any link to her church
What she did was truth💙
Bishop Mariann Budde made me believe in religion again. Her words inspired me so much!!!
I love how she slipped by the orange cheeto’s “security” and actually had something to say. His discomfort was hilarious. And Vance wouldn’t even look at her.
I mean, if we’re being fair as Redditors, we should also call for the National Cathedral to be stripped of their tax exempt status.
Can’t wait for Kate McKinnon to slide into SNL for a cameo.
Activist in the pulpit
Bo Burnham’s song, From God’s perspective, comes to mind.
I’m an atheist. But this lady make me wanna go to church. Bless her heart, and may she preach with joy for years.
❤️ 🙏
Another real Christian was Jimmy Carter. It is amazing how many supposed Christians fail so many simple litmus tests like these.
A pure nut
I really hope the Trump mob doesn’t kill her
I like the Trump smackdown, but Christianity is nothing but a death cult.
If she was a “ Real Christian “, she wouldn’t be a Bishop. That goes against everything Christian. She’s an Oxymoron. A living Contradiction. And if y’all support her, well…..
Exactly. Not a Republican faux Christian.
She’s definitely playing her on snl 😂
