When the church doors open, only white people will be allowed inside.
That’s the message the Asatru Folk Assembly in Murdock, Minnesota, is sending after being granted a conditional use permit to open a church there and practice its pre-Christian religion that originated in northern Europe.
Murdock council members said they do not support the church but were legally obligated to approve the permit, which they did in a 3-1 decision.
“We were highly advised by our attorney to pass this permit for legal reasons to protect the First Amendment rights," Mayor Craig Kavanagh said. "We knew that if this was going to be denied, we were going to have a legal battle on our hands that could be pretty expensive.”
City Attorney Don Wilcox said it came down to free speech and freedom of religion.
“I think there’s a great deal of sentiment in the town that they don’t want that group there," he said. "You can’t just bar people from practicing whatever religion they want or saying anything they want as long as it doesn’t incite violence.”
After permit approved for whites-only church, small Minnesota town insists it isn't racist

The total dead may exceed the civil war (especially if the anti-Vaxxers don't clue up).

Trump fights for one person: himself. Literally nothing else matters to him.
Answer now is don't give in; aim for a new tomorrow.

Of course, that is why he put himself through two campaigns against the candidates of the self-regarded elite and their mass media, four years of constant struggle against the same forces, put his assets in trust, donated his salary to charity, negotiated peace deals with sides stalled for decades, attracting vindictive partisan state prosecution efforts - as a septuagenarian who could otherwise have had a carefree life on Epstein's Island like the elites.
All purely just fighting for himself.

Trump is one of the elites, you sick, brainwashed dumbfuck.
You can't get any more elite or any more corrupt than Donald J. Trump. He had one, and only one, reason to run for office: To greedily shovel as much American cash into his pockets as quickly as possible. And he did quite an excessive job of that.
Meanwhile, his slobbering moron supporters applauded and screamed "Thank you, Orange Messiah!!11!1" as he reached around and grabbed each of their wallets and sucked it dry.
Donald J. Trump is the Deep State.

He is clearly some form of "elite", but "elite" was clearly meant to mean the sort of DC insider who looks down on normal Americans. That isn't Trump.
Corrupt? Seriously, WTF. Pondering this one, I can take a few guesses. It could be that you simply can't imagine a non-bribed person wanting to eliminate regulations. (get a clue: half of America wants that desperately) It could be a failure to understand the magnitude of numbers or that revenue is not profit, so that a foreigner paying market rate to stay in a Trump hotel seems like a scandalous bribe that could influence a man with a few billion dollars. After expenses, the profit (which Trump donated) comes to about 1/100000000 of Trump's assets. It could be the false claim that it was Trump (not Biden) who threatened to withhold foreign aid from the Ukraine in exchange for a personal favor. (yes, Biden did that and even bragged about it on video, and Trump got impeached for it -- we're in crazytown here)
I'm really not seeing Trump gain any money from being president. His wealth has gone down, to the tune of a billion dollars. He donated his whole salary.
Why do you even pretend to care about corruption? Presumably you support Biden. Biden takes a 50% cut of the fantastic investments and do-nothing employment that his crackhead son miraculously gets. Somehow the Biden family got rich on a senate salary, but that pays less than a FAANG software developer. (currently just under $200,000) We don't know of any legitimate way that Biden got rich, and he's somehow supposed to be less corrupt than Trump? At least Trump has a 100% legitimate excuse for being rich.

I could say that of Hillary Clinton. It's not a bad fit for any democrat politician, really.
If I pretend you are correct, so what? The evidence shows that Trump fought for the things I wanted. That could be coincidence. What does it matter? He did what I wanted, no matter what his motive may have been.
But I look at it this way: he put himself in a hazardous job (assassination of presidents is common) and lost about a billion dollars. Until that virus hit, he had gotten unemployment down to record lows. He got rid of all sorts of things that were annoying and unfair. Neither you nor I can ever hope to see into the mind of another person, but it sure looks like Trump was fighting for me. If he wasn't, oh well, it worked out the same.
