The Media Fellating Thread

As opposed to the last FLOTUS who was literally a fashion model and designer.

But she's not a doctor, so there's that.

Amen! Melania was a fashionista, no question. Except for that schmatte she rode to Florida in. Ugh!

So you're saying it's acceptable for devout Catholics to ignore some teaching, but they must follow other rules.

Not at all, for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God and must ask for forgiveness. That's a basic tenet of Christianity. That doesn't mean it's okay to sin, just that forgiveness is Now the Catholic church has a very rigorous and defined system of how to ask for forgiveness and a penance system with varying levels based on the seriousness of the sin. I'm not defending that system or promoting it. Just pointing out that it exists. And the penance for artificial birth control is on a whole different order than abortion... To the Catholic faith Abortion is a whole different level of bad than Birth Control.

This isn't a conversation about whether the Catholic Church is right or wrong on their stances and views, this is a conversation about whether or not President Biden can be considered a devout Catholic. When there are questions about whether or not you are fit to receive communion, I think we can say safely say that many of the Church leaders don't consider Biden as a devout Catholic.

On Trump‘s inauguration day, Melania also wore a design by American designer Hervé Pierre. Pierre is French born but naturalized and became an American citizen. So Melania’s inauguration gown can be considered an American design.

On Biden’s inauguration day, Melania reportedly wore designs by Dolce & Gabbana (Italian), Gucci (Italian), and Chanel (French), so “not American” designs.

If we compare only the days when they moved into the White House, Melania should at least get just as much credit in terms of “bringing American fashion into the White House.”

Ms. Biden is a heroic woman.

She is a real Doctor, not like these medical doctors who think it is OK to trim MD down to D.

Where do they come off claiming the word all to themselves.

You go Jill!

Don't give those elite old men la-di-dah MDs anything.

Change is coming.

Unity!

I'm waiting for all the articles about what Doug Emhoff is wearing.

You can't be a deeply religious Catholic and support abortion. You just can't.

Bullshit. I know many.

Then they aren't Catholic, let alone Christian.

Hiding behind "the Truth is what it is" to justify lack of empathy when discussing the matter doesn't seem very Christian to me, either.

We had a similar discussion in an earlier thread when I asked what was the definition of a religious person.

Who sets the rules.

favor abortion? Not a christian
favor killing people who favor abortion? Christian

I am not a religious person because I think too many people try to hide behind religion, using it as a "crutch" in both good times and bad.

Hate to use President Trump as an example, but he "embrace" religion when he was running for President. Do I think he was religious? No, but he seemed to think (or was told) that that was something that would make him seem more agreeable to people.

Does President Biden really religious? Maybe not.

Does it really matter? Does that make a person a better President? I seriously doubt it.

Seem doesn't enter into it. You want to argue the point, pick up a Bible and beat your head against it. It's an unequivocal, clearly explained deal breaker.

You cannot wantonly kill innocent human life on one hand and declare yourself a practicing Christian on the other.

I'm not at all arguing that point. You blew right past what I was talking about.

People who were quite happy to accept the frankly quite ludicrous position of He Who Shall Not Be Named as a devout Christian are absolutely never going to accept Joe Biden as a believer.

It's almost as if there's some kind of double standard.

Personally, I find the number of supposedly devout people of faith taking an active part in the world's dirtiest sport vaguely vomit-inducing. They need to stop claiming they're bloody religious, or they need to get a different job.

I don't think anybody ever said President Trump was a devout Christian. And I don't think he ever claimed that, either.

At least one person said he was sent by God, who clearly hasn't lost His famous sense of humour.

Obviously, saying HE WAS SENT BY GOD! doesn't belong in the media fellating thread, it deserves a title all of its own.

There is a movie about this: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8235296/

Somehow, I'll guess that the former FLOTUS speaks at least 3 more languages than this asshat at NBC.
