IMPEACHMAS--Government, Blasphemy and --INVOKING THE 1ST (COMMANDMENT)

EXCLUSIVE TO DER PUTSCH PRESS///SATURDAY, THE WINTER SOLSTICE, 

 "I am the Lord thy God; thou shalt not have strange gods before Me."
 blasphemy--the act or offense of speaking sacrilegiously about God or sacred things; profane talk.

     Lately, there appears to be an incursion of the Church into the State and blame it all on the impeachment of the President last week by the US House of Representatives. During debate over the vote on HR755, the resolution to impeach the President, Marita Gaganan reports from Time on the comment by Rep  Barry Loudermilk.  (R-GA)

Republican Congressman Suggests Trump Is Being Treated Worse Than Jesus Amid Impeachment Debate

A Republican lawmaker compared President Donald Trump to Jesus Christ during a debate on the House floor about impeachment.

     Next, the President has to comment on the current afterlife status of a respected congressman, Brett Samuels and Morgan Chalfant report from The Hill;

Trump's Dingell insults disrupt GOP unity amid impeachment Trump's real-time response to Wednesday's impeachment vote in the House was to throw bitter and personal insults at rivals during a raucous rally in Battle Creek, Mich. But it was his remarks about the late Rep. and his widow, Rep. , that were too much for a number of Republicans.

#impeachmas--As if that isn't enough in the ongoing assault on blasphemy, the word Christmas has been subverted to #impeachmas relating to the House vote last week. Note Wally's subversion of "Seasons Greetings" to "Seasons Impeachment;"

     The most damaging blow to the separation of Church and State came from Christianity Today in an article reported by Mark Galli;

Trump Should Be Removed from Office In our founding documents, Billy Graham explains that Christianity Today will help evangelical Christians interpret the news in a manner that reflects their faith. The impeachment of Donald Trump is a significant event in the story of our republic. It requires comment.

In response, the President used the tried and true technique of rebuttal, calling those responsible "communists;"

"I guess the magazine, 'Christianity Today,' is looking for Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, or those of the socialist/communist bent, to guard their religion. How about Sleepy Joe? The fact is, no President has ever done what I have done for Evangelicals, or religion itself!"

After pro-impeachment editorial, Trump accuses Christianity Today of communist tilt

President Trump continued his attacks against the evangelical magazine that supported impeachment in a recent editorial. Christianity Today announced its support for removing the president from office in an editorial published on Thursday. The president accused Christianity Today, which was founded by Billy Graham, of having a socialist or communist tilt on Twitter on Friday afternoon, hours after he blasted them for being " far-left."

     Surprisingly, the President received support from the son of the founder of the magazine, as reported by David Badash in The New Civil Rights Movement;

Franklin Graham Rushes to Defend President Over 'Elitist' Evangelical Magazine's Attack: My Father 'Voted for Donald Trump'

     Trashing The Savior isn't anything new by those in the spotlight. Back in August, 1966, John Lennon compared the Beatles to Christ in his infamous quote;
     "Christianity will go, it will vanish and shrink. I needn’t argue about that; I know I’m right and I will be proved right. We’re more popular than Jesus now. I don’t know which will go first – rock & roll or Christianity. Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It’s them twisting it that ruins it for me.

When John Lennon's 'Jesus' Controversy Turned Ugly

"If I'd said, 'Television is more poplar than Jesus,' I might have got away with it!" John Lennon lamented as cameras rolled from each of the three major American TV networks. The cheeky remark drew a laugh from the assembled crowd of journalists, but recently Lennon hadn't been so lucky.

IMPEACHMENT AFTERBATH--The "Post-Impeachment Defense Fund"--A REDACTED EMAIL

JOUR107.1003
James L'Angelle
University of Nevada, Reno
Spring 2020

     Never let a good opportunity slide when it comes to promoting. That also holds true of yesterday's vote in the House of Representatives to impeach the President. Today, an email arrived from The Daily Grind News in affiliation with the Trump Make America Great Again Committee, 138 Conant Street, 2nd Floor, Beverly, MA 01915.

"Friend,
Nancy is a (redacted) and a (redacted). We just witnessed the most PARTISAN SCAM in American history and it resulted in the House officially IMPEACHING me.
229 (redacted) Democrats just voted to take away YOUR vote and undo the 2016 election.
Three years of taxpayer-funded WITCH HUNTS all concluded the same thing - I DID NOTHING WRONG.
This is an attack on democracy. An attack on freedom. An attack on everything we hold dear in this country. And it’s an attack on YOU, Friend.
It’s US against THEM in this impeachment war. And we need to (redacted).
I’m upping our goal to (redacted) MILLION in the next 24 HOURS. Only the power of the American people can defend me in this fight and end Democratic (redacted) once and for all.
Previously a group of donors had agreed to double-match all contributions, but with this Impeachment vote, I’m upping the stakes…"

     Along with the note from the President is the address to contribute the money, as the message continues;

     "We need to show Nancy and her (redacted)  Democrat followers that REAL AMERICANS still stand with President Trump.
Yesterday’s vote by Democrats was blatantly (redacted). We can’t let this go on any longer.
My team is sending me a list of everyone who does their part and donates in the next 24 HOURS. I need you on my side in this Impeachment Fight, Friend. Don’t let me down. "


     Be advised, in the interests of the Impeachment Caucus, the Mueller Report, the Mueller grand jury testimony, Counselor Giuliani and, of course, "Nancy," sensitive parts of the email have been redacted.
