Sycophant du Jour

Franklin Graham has really jumped on the Trump bandwagon -- maybe he's trying to displace Robert Jeffress as the apple of Trump's eye. This is just a sample of the BS he's come out with recently:

Evangelist Franklin Graham issued a dire warning about the fate of the United States, should the presidential impeachment inquiry started by the U.S. House lead to President Donald Trump’s ouster. “Our country could begin to unravel if an elected president is thrown out of office because of lies and the media,” said Graham, president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, in an interview.

“It could be a devastating thing. We’re in very dangerous territory. I would encourage all the politicians to look very carefully at where we are and first of all make sure that truth is told.” Graham, a staunch Trump supporter, said the impeachment inquiry about Trump’s interactions with the leader of Ukraine was a political move by a party that refuses to accept Trump’s victory three years ago.

This sort of kicks Newspeak up an order of magnitude -- "We have always been at war with Eastasia."

What he's afraid is going to unravel is the goal he and his fellow-travelers have been working toward for decades -- since Ronald Reagan and the "Moral Majority", at least: a theocracy with evangelical "Christians" pulling the strings of whatever puppet they manage to install. All that is, to their way of thinking, nearly accomplished, thanks to Trump, who really is a figurehead at this point, Moscow Mitch, Vladimir Putin, and who knows who else working very quietly to transform this country into something out of the Old Testament.
