Trump has now dismantled all diversity programmes in USA..
That’s awful!
Soon he’ll put things back to Victoria times, with women “back where they belong”
No terminations, no birth control, no rights!
Now here is a truly brave woman, who has put her career on the line here, as a true Christian who really understands what Christianity is about.
Trump, Malania, Vance and families, were just trapped there, and could not walk out or stop her. Stunning and so full of humanity.

Yes chosen by God. How terrifying. How have we let this happen? Have people learned nothing?
It would seem not

Church, kitchen, children.
Ring any bells?
Don’t forget ‘bedroom’ Whitewavemark.
The lady vicar idiot needs educating
Wow, FGT - showing your true colours here!
The Bishop was asking for mercy for those who cannot speak for themselves. Mercy and kindness are Christian values.
I’m not a Christian but I believe in kindness towards fellow human beings - that is what she was asking for.
At least by calling her an ‘idiot’ you’ve made it very clear where your values lie (although I would imagine that many on GN already knew).
I know FGT supports Trump but what she said there shocked me. I suppose that’s exactly what Trump supporters everywhere would say. 🎵 It don’t impress me much.🎶

I wonder what Vance muttered to his wife. He made 2 attempts and she blanked him both times. She continued to look forward and listen intently to the Bishop.
She was probably in shock being lectured to, and having to listen to such woke nonsense. I’d have walked out.
I should think, being a highly intelligent woman and an Indo-American, child of immigrants, she was listening intently and will be discussing this with her husband in depth.
Perhaps she might help him to modify his views.

Trump believes that God saved him to do his (specific) bidding. Therefore he believes he can do no wrong.
I think that you and others are right about that, very worrying.
Human compassion = “woke nonsense”.
Wow!
Words fail me.

Human compassion = “woke nonsense”.
Wow!
Stamp on anybody you dislike. Stamp twice if they are brown.
Makes me puke.
There must be some psychology behind this adoration of these monsterous males? Something lacking.
When it comes to using 'woke' as an insult, in the immortal words of Kathy Burke: “I love being ‘woke’. It’s much nicer than being an ignorant f**** twat.”
'No terminations, no birth control, no rights.

Most definitely - The Handmaid's Tale. Chilling.

I was thinking of the Nazi mantra for women.

Well said!
I think its worth reading the whole text and making our own minds up.
"“Let me make one final plea, Mr. President. Millions have put their trust in you and,
as you told the nation yesterday, you have felt the providential hand of a loving God.
In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now.
There are gay, lesbian and transgender children in Democratic, Republican, and Independent families, some who fear for their lives.
The people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings; who labor in poultry farms and meat packing plants; who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals.
They…may not be citizens or have the proper documentation. But the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They pay taxes and are good neighbors. They are faithful members of our churches and mosques, synagogues, gurudwaras and temples.
I ask you to have mercy, Mr. President, on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away.
And that you help those who are fleeing war zones and persecution in their own lands to find compassion and welcome here. Our God teaches us that we are to be merciful to the stranger, for we were all once strangers in this land. May God grant us the strength and courage to honor the dignity of every human being, to speak the truth to one another in love and walk humbly with each other and our God for the good of all people.
Good of all people in this nation and the world. Amen”
If this is "woke" as the DM suggests today - oh, words fail!
I thank God for her. What a lovely compassionate lady trying hard to live up to God's calling of her. So brave and eloquent and loving.
This brave woman has made me cry. At last, someone with the guts to stand up for those who have no voice. I could hardly believe it.
So having compassion is "woke nonsense" is it. I wonder what Jesus would have thought about that.
I am glad it has "gone viral". It gives an opportunity for discussion and reflection at a time of so many "directives" sent out.
Poem attached to the Statue of Liberty
*Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!*

It’s a wonderful, compassionate, humane speech, which I salute and admire!
