Did you hear Jerry Falwell will lead the higher education task force?

Asked by JLeslie (65790points) February 2nd, 2017 from iPhone

Is it true?

Ok, that is the nail in the coffin for me if it’s true. Scary shit. First Pence. Then Bannon. Now Falwell. I left out some others because I’m tired right now and my mind isn’t working well.

I want to know what Falwell will be focusing on while he heads up this task force. Has he made any statements?

I’m counting down to midterm elections. Making sure my passport is updated. Hoping the Catholics, Mormons, and other religious minorities in the country who did vote for Trump are finally starting to get nervous. Not that the Catholics are a religious minority, but they aren’t considered Christians in Falwell’s brand of Christianity.

That is what NBC, CBS, USA Today, and just about everybody else is saying. And that’s Jerry Falwell, Jr., Leslie. I’m sure you know that, but you damn near gave me a heart attack. I was unaware that insect had left his spawn behind.

Now I’m just having a junior heart attack.

Yes, I knew it’s junior. I should have written the proper suffix.

I think “you ain’t seen nothin yet” This carnival of the absurd has barely pitched its tent, and the upcoming “wonders” to dazzle us will be spectacular indeed. It’s going to be a harsh unforgiving lesson for a bunch of naive people conditioned to lazy thinking.

@JLeslie What’s the general reaction in the Villages to all of this?

Remember what he said at his only foreign policy speech, he promised to be “reliable” and “unpredictable” on the world stage. More unpredictables coming !

@Espiritus_Corvus Good question. I don’t talk politics much here. The democrats I know are completely freaked out over Trump, several I know took a bus to D.C. for the March after the inauguration. I haven’t talked to anyone about Falwell.

There are a lot of hard core Trumpers here. I’m interested to see if anyone will start to change their minds as time goes on.
