So you think you’ve heard it all from Fox News? You think they have gone as far into the stratospheric fringe as it’s possible to go? Do you think there is a limit to the sycophantic Trump-fluffing that will be broadcast on the network known for its slobbering devotion to the Donald? If so, you’re not giving the tunnel-blind cultists at Fox enough credit.
On Saturday evening, “Judge” Jeanine Pirro led off her program with her usual “Opening Statement,” which is typically an homage to Trump and/or an attack on his critics. She has perhaps the most virulently crazed demeanor of anyone on Fox, with wild-eyed tirades and sanctimonious condemnation in her voice. She could be an attraction at Jurassic Park with her teeth-baring facial expressions and her sharpened rhetorical claws.
As outrageous as her weekly televised tantrums have been in the past, she really outdid herself with the latest episode. Reporting from Israel, her topic was Trump’s decision to move the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. It’s an unnecessarily controversial action that is likely to provoke an increase in hostilities in the region, and make our diplomats more vulnerable to violence. But never mind that, Trump has made up his mind to pander to his ultra-Chrisianist base among American evangelicals. And naturally, Fox News and Pirro are all for it. This excerpt is all that you’ll need to grasp the depth of her madness (video below):
“Donald Trump sent Iranians, who are the descendants of Persia, a message to reflect on their own history, and that it was the king of Persia who, 1000 years before Mohammad was even born, said that Jerusalem was the capital of the Jewish people’s country.
“There will be no Ottoman empires or Shia nations that will destroy Jerusalem any longer. Donald Trump recognized history. He, like King Cyrus before him, fulfilled the biblical prophecy of the gods worshiped by Jews, Christians and, yes, Muslims, that Jerusalem is the eternal capital of the Jewish state and that the Jewish people deserve a righteous, free and sovereign Israel.”
Well, isn’t that considerate of Pirro to deign to lecture Iranians on their own past. But her anointing of Trump as having “fulfilled the biblical prophecy of the gods” goes farther than anyone at Fox News has ever gone to suggest the Messianic holiness of their Dear Leader. This is not an overreaction to Pirro’s sermon. She explicitly likens Trump to King Cyrus, who was regarded by the Jews as anointed by God and, in the view of some, a Messiah. So now it has come to pass that this greedy, foul-mouthed, narcissistic, desecrator of women is the heir to the throne of Heaven? Is she fucking serious?
The only interest that right-wing Christianists have in Israel is that they are praying for it to be conquered by the beasts of hell so that they can proclaim the commencement of Armageddon and the subsequent return of their savior. They would likely root for the Anti-Christ because his arrival presages these events. And that may be the real reason they are so devoted to Donald Trump. Because, really, who does he seem more like: Jesus or the Anti-Christ? Any Christian who has trouble answering that question has been watching too much Fox News. Because as we now know, Fox News is now officially the Sacred Pulpit of the Rapture.

Why is Jeanine so horrible? I can imagine her anger may have something to do with some of the perverted sexual acts she had to commit when Ailes ran the place. In the category of insanity she is off the charts. This insane person actually has great influence with the moron in the White House. Let that sink in!
Well, the Fake Judge might be correct. Of course, these would be the Old Gods of Lovecraft: Cthulu, Yog-Sothoth, and their brethren. Only way THAT nonsense can ever be correct, “Judge”!
What a bunch of maroons….
I really, really wish sometimes I believed in all that religiousy stuff…then I could sleep better at night believing that the likes of Trumplethinskin and Pirro will go to hell, directly to hell, will not pass go, will not collect 2,000,000,000 dollars.
Prophecy of the Gods? Did anyone tell this woman that Jews , Christians and Muslims are MONOTHEISTS? One God, no image. That’s how it goes. What “gods” does she mean?
They USED to be Monotheist, until some fuck nugget named Isaiah complained about Babylonian astrology which only told the story of a once brilliant star drowned out by the sun, but later Judeo-Christian tradition completely misunderstood that and turned it into a rebellion of Angels…
It is disturbing to me how many of my countrymen believe in the End Times “prophecy” as detailed in the dessert scribblings called the Book of Revelations in which everybody dies save for a few “true” believers who are taken to a New Jerusalem by Jesus, and it is profoundly disturbing to me how many believers of said prophecy are attempting to bring war to the Middle East to fulfill it.
There are only three ways to stop this.
1. End the Palestinian Occupation.
2. Impeach Benjamin Netanyahu and install a deist democracy in Israel.
3. Impeach Donald John Trump and every one of his Republican allies.
