Re: [GtGPL/S1E12] A Moose in the Hoose

Tahlvin nails it and gets the point. Eli's response really got me, so he gets funniest. Mike- actually a pretty good guess for the punchline. Just a bit off.

I think what’s most objectionable to me is the pairing of the word of Jesus to nationalism- which is something that is the antithesis to what he spoke. Not that Trump cares. He’s not even religious. He just pretends to be religious because it suits him. Although I guess that’s true of a lot of people.
