Painter's Christmas reminder to Trump: "Jesus came to confront rich and powerful people.."

Link to tweet

Jesus came 2000 years ago to confront rich and powerful people who were constantly talking about how proud they were for doing absolutely nothing. We honor Him by helping the poor, the sick and the stranger in our land.

He was responding to Trump's stupid tweet boasting that he'd "led the charge" to get people to say "Merry Christmas" again:

My Soul Glorifies the Lord, by David Foley
Christina Crooks, soprano solo
My soul glorifies the Lord. My soul glorifies the Lord,
and I rejoice in my God and my Savior, for holy is his name.
For he has looked on me with favor, and has done great things for me.
I rejoice for holy is his name.
He scattered the proud, he filled up the hungry with good things to eat.
He emptied the rich and brought down the powerful kings.
My spirit rejoices, my spirit rejoices, for he has done great things for me!
My soul glorifies the Lord. My soul glorifies the Lord,
and I rejoice in my God and my Savior, for holy is his name.
For he has looked on me with favor, and has done great things for me.
I rejoice for holy is his name.

For speaking up for us all in this time of troubles, and attacks on their worse enemy, the truth. Also Jesus was born to refugees. Your voice Richard has brighten my day many a times for telling it like it is, and for your truth to power. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Years, and I always will watch the program if you're on it. Hoping this year will be one of celebrating our Democracy is safe, and secure.
