Look, this is really bad optics. Any one, like me, that voted for him twice but didn't like the antics is pushed further away. DJT seems to have turned into a money gathering organization, which trivializes any seriousness he may still have about actually helping the country. The number of emails begging for money that my wife gets is amazing. I'm in the camp that he's too old anyway, so it hasn't changed my position.

But it's really sad. Almost as sad as the posters on this thread that don't think that (at least) it's in poor taste.

He has absolutely jumped the shark.



You're asking us to care about a mote of dust while the rest of the house is on fire and the media tells us to ignore Joe and Hunter with matches and gas cans in their hands
Man, priorities. The governments of men will continue to be corrupt and corruptible. This is about mixing the corruption and authority of man with the incorruptible authority of God.

From a political lens yeah this is small potatoes in terms of scandal.

From a religion lens this is a big deal and nobody should be hawking bibles that venerate governments of man.

"Please be outraged at this miniscule thing" is typical Concerned Moderate drivel. Are we also allowed to want the border invasion to stop, or for kids to not be groomed

Good thing the US is not a government based on the tenets of man, but principled on "endowed by their Creator, with certain unalienable Rights" in the Declaration of Independence. Though Creator is agnostic as to whose actual god it referees to, you cannot exclude the fact that our founding principles line up with general Christian beliefs and that Christianity has been a fundamental part of our history, for better and potentially for worse.

DJT Jr is now "hawking bibles". He merely is endorsing a certain style of bible that may appeal to certain customers. This is NO DIFFERENT than your local Christian bookstore selling a hot pink bible with monogramming for your little princess to take to her first day of Sunday school.

Being upset with this is maximum TDS.

There's no difference.

Did you bold the "grifting" part as confirmation you have no flipping idea what the word means?

Let me definite it briefly. Grifting is swindling, deceiving, cheating others in a small way. Celebrity doing an commercial advertising bibles to potential customers at reasonable prices then fulfills that order has no cheated, swindled, deceived, etc.

Whatever you think this is, it is NOT grifting.

Because of the obvious hypocrisy of not calling out your own side.
And Trump folks are guilty of the same.

And to me, there is an obvious double standard in the media which makes Trump supporters frustrated and angry.

May I ask the last time you made a derogatory post about a lefty?

Try searching the threads- there are dozens of posts I make going after leftists and their insanity. I have been volunteering in GOP political campaigns since the 1996 Dole Campaign.

Coincidentally, I don't have to make derogatory posts about lefties- to also be able to point out that Don Trump is a sure fire political loser in 2024.

The OP is about Don Jr slinging patriotic bibles and has NOTHING to do with DJT '45 running for president. Yet, you feel compelled to join the lefties in making sure to get a crack in on Trump being "a sure fire political loser".

A conservative would simply say he's hawking bibles and we agree more religion is a good thing. Instead, you join the left "Don Jr is a grifter and his daddy is a loser" chatter. Does it make you feel better getting into bed with Biden voters?

Does Jesus consider it a sin to misuse the term "grifter" over and over again?

How is asking you to buy a bible then shipping you a bible "grifting"?

If they end vacation bible school with a flyer to buy a personalized bible is the VBS school "grifting"?

And if instead you want a free bible, then Gideons has some for you.

I have no issue with more bibles being in peoples hands, regardless of whether you like DJTJr or not.

Bizarro thing to get torqued about, IMO.
Jesus has no problem with the term grifter when it's true. I think you're missing the point. Do you think DJT-lite is selling to bring people closer to God, to make a buck or as apolitical ploy. Jesus knows. The rest of us are suspect

Well, I just noticed the political aspect of those bibles. Altering the Bible, even the cover, to promote politics is a no go. The scripture speaks for itself. But go ahead and continue to support Trump and his family . I'm sure the money only goes to charity like Trumps presidential salary ((that he somehow forgot to donate in 2020). People inside the cult never see it

Peddling the Word of God with political slogans is wrong. I don't care who it is.

My Biblical values inform my political choices/voting. But I don't imbue political slogans into on onto my Bible.

Probably in Two Corinthians.

I'm guessing King Solomon. Son of King David, who was known for raping Bathsheba and then sending her husband to his death.

King Solomon was given great wealth and great wisdom. He was commanded to NOT do one thing that he quickly did and married from outside... and then had more concubines than could be imagined. At the end of his life he'll realize "Vanity. Vanity. All is vanity." as he reflects on the empty life he lived and squandered.
I'm thinking he identifies with Samson's prowess and hair.

When Leftist tries to pretend they care about Christianity to try and score cheap political trolling points:

Concerned Moderate: "ZOMG guys! How DARE Don Jr profane the most holy Word of our Christian God by selling it!"

Normal Sane Human: "You mean the Word of the God that says homosexuality is a sin, marriage is between a man and a woman and that the only way to the Father is through Jesus and not the Democratic Party?"

Concerned Moderate: "HOW DARE YOU SHOVE YOUR BIGOTED RELIGION ON ME?!?!?! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

If by the Jesus who told me he would edge when he mowed but then didn't, then yes that Jesus understands grifting.

You are in no position to tell me what Jesus does and does not agree with, nor what God does or does not agree with.

THe bible is KJV, unaltered except for highlighting Jesus's word in red - like many many bibles do.

You can go to any ****ty craft job in the South and find embroidered, knitted bible covers with cats sewn into it with halos. So cut it our on changing the cover. It still says Holy Bible on the cover.

Calling someone who does not think as you do as a member of a cult is actually identifying one's self as a member of a cult.

You do you bro, buy your bible from the megachurch store where the elders diddle little kids. Or you can buy it from a company that hired Don Jr to endorse their bible.

When has Biden donated a dime he EARNED in his life? Go on, show it! Man has never earned his own nickel in his LIFE.

$90.00 is the cheapest....that's nowhere "reasonable". At all.


Not gonna call it grifting, but can understand it being labeled as such. I'd just call it "stupid".

Obviously they price by the word?

I imagine the one I posted is smaller print and does not include the Declaration of Independence and US Constitution, plus the Pledge of Allegiance.

Point is $90 is not unreasonable from an overall perspective, but if you and friends want to cherry pick it apart, go for it. I really could give two ****s.

My original point to all of this was that it is NOT GRIFTING when you willing pay a price for something of indeterminate value but that someone agreeing purchases for a certain value and the product is delivered in the quantity, content, description, materials, condiction, etc as advertised.

If We The People bible company delivers cat food and soy lattes with a free Joe Biden 2024 shirt with all proceeds benefiting Hunter's legal defense, then I would call that grifting.

I have seen nothing further than endorsing the product he was (likely, not confirmed) paid to endorse.

Bur if you think you "Got me!!!", then go ahead. I still sleep perfectly fine at night.

I think another 3 complete Bibles would incur significantly more cost to print than the <5 pages for the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Pledge of Allegiance. $60 for FOUR Bibles means they're roughly $15 each. You think about 5 pages of material justifies 5x the cost of the other ~1200? Seriously?

ETA Bonded leather, large print, KJV Bible for $18.

But yeah, $90 is totally reasonable, and slapping "We the People" branding on it and adding a few pages completely justifies spending another $70. It's not late night infomercial level pandering at all...

That's cute. but shows you have zero knowledge of book manufacturing. You fun 1st grade breakdown of costs excludes the size of print, type, thickness of paper, and the fact the 4 version parallel is printed 2 versions to a page, etc.

BUt since you seem utterly hung up on the price, here is a single KJV bonded-leather bible for $65.62.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1496439805/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A226ZO3UOKHFUH&psc=1

A single We The People bible is $69.99. Thus ends the discussion on the reasonableness of the pricing. Thanks for playing though.
