    Will the church start paying taxes since it supports politicians?

      I agree they should be taxed. That being said, I don’t know this man’s goals, but inviting Trump to an open mic at a black church makes his son of a KKK member views just SO much more damaging. I really wish he got more offers like this.

      I’m usually all with you on that complaint, but this case is different. They didn’t promote Trump. They hosted a roundtable with him. Presumably, they would do the same with Biden were his campaign to request it.

      Trump was trying to reach predominantly Democratic or non-voting black voters in Detroit by going to a predominantly black church, and he failed, pulling in a white crowd instead.

        Really? You cannot be serious.

        “They asked me to promote them, but I didn’t offer. So I’m not actually promoting them.”

        Your entire argument is completely irrelevant. And promoting both candidates (like hell that would actually happen, but sure, buddy, we’ll give you the benefit of the non-existent doubt), that’s literally claiming two wrongs make a right. Which, they don’t. At all.

        And nice job copy/pasting the wrong name; totally didn’t make any of us think you’re working a script here. Not at all. (Whatever they’re paying you, they’re getting ripped off)

          Consider this, if the pastor wanted to hurt Trump, inviting him to talk at a black church is a hell of a weapon.

          I’m don’t know what the goal was here, and I’m not disagreeing with you, just that on the surface, this backfired on Trump badly, which would have been easy to predict.

            It’s only a good way to hurt him in the way that anyone ever giving Trump the chance to speak is a weapon against his campaign. He’ll manage to fuck it up in some way every chance he gets, but the only people who will ever care already have a laundry list of reasons to hate him.

          I didn’t copy paste. I spoke too quickly and made an error.

          No need to be a jerk.

          And yes, what I said is relevant. The activity matters.

          It’s projection all the way down with them.

          I had to reread after reading your comment because I was sure the guy was talking about Trump.

          Edit: Turns out that person was talking about Trump! Just an innocent mistake on their part.
