The grift is the goal. Oklahoma’s Department of Education puts out a Bible “bid” so specific in its requirements that out of 2,900 Bibles for sale only Trump’s Bible fits the requirements. There will be no eyebrows raised by anyone on the right. Not a single one. The grift is the goal. 'Trump Bible' one of few that meet Walters' criteria for OK classrooms Bids opened Monday for a contract to supply the state Department of Education with 55,000 Bibles. According to the bid documents, vendors must meet certain specifications: Bibles must be the King James Version; must contain the Old and New Testaments; must include copies of the Pledge of Allegiance, Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights; and must be bound in leather or leather-like material. A salesperson at Mardel Christian & Education searched, and though they carry 2,900 Bibles, none fit the parameters. But one Bible fits perfectly: Lee Greenwood’s God Bless the U.S.A. Bible, endorsed by former President Donald Trump and commonly referred to as the Trump Bible. They cost $60 each online, with Trump receiving fees for his endorsement.
"Leather-like material," lol! They even went with the fake leather for the weirdo Christian Nationalist Bible. Also, King James "for historical accuracy." The shamelessness is almost entertaining.
grotesque. I would think for an order of that size many publishers will forsake the baby Jesus & defile their bibles with those other docs.
Actually surprised that their bid didn't require a song from Lee Greenwood to be printed in the spiritual tome they selected. Very pleasing to see that Trump is contributing to the spiritual growth of this nation grifting the **** out of a silly red state.
You're all such cynics. Jesus was a yuuuuge fan of the US Bill of Rights - it's only right it should be included in the Bible because, as far as I know it can't be accessed by any other means. Think. Of. The. Kids.
Just mind boggling how religious people have taken so strongly to the type of person the Bible has been warning them about.
THAT, Amigo, is one of the MOST disgusting mysteries in all of this. There's a regular where I go to enjoy a cigar - ex-Marine, devout "Hey everybody!, I'm a Christian" type, Marine shit on his truck (what else?). I'm ex-military myself (also have a truck), and I asked him the other day why he joined the military. "To serve my country (by God)!" Not being able to help my sorry self, I responded, "Well, partner, you're serving neither the country nor Jesus by supporting Trump." The "conversation" took its predictable course and I went over and started talking to the wall, which really fired him up. He yelled for me to turn around and talk to him. I told him I was having a more intelligent conversation with the wall. True story. Out of character for me, but it otherwise got some laughs. PS: PS: I have a lot of respect for Marines.....when they stay in their lanes and stay humble. My brother was one.
And any court case brought by progressives will be heard by a conservative and possibly MAGA style judge. The case likely would have close to zero chance to survive? Is there anyway to get it to federal court? At least in federal courts a chance might still be alive to stop this. How can the people of Oklahoma stand for something like this?
Incorrect. This will be unknown to 99% of folks. Lets be honest. If it wasnt for TooHot none of us would know.
The Chief MSgt of the unit I was in Korea, made everyone stand and sing this song in the unit bar. If you didn’t you were ostracized. I now hate that Lee Greenwood song. Rah rah faux patriotic non sense.
How Walters is still in office in itself is stunning, his entire tenure has been one big graft. Most recently, refusing to purchase inhalers for schools, as directed and funded by state legislation and taxpayers, to prevent a health crisis to a child, https://www.kjrh.com/news/local-new...s-to-supt-walters-about-delayed-inhaler-funds, yet ready to dish out millions of taxpayer dollars to Trump. He must be top of the the list for sec of education under Trump.
Who should know is people in Oklahoma. These are their tax dollars being grifted. I'd be curious if this moves the needle there at all
So instead of this is a grotesque of your faith your take is nobody would otherwise know about except for libs on toohot?
What are your thoughts on the purchase itself? Do you agree that none of things specified in 2.5 have any business being in the Bible?
