She is afraid , just like when Peter denied Jesus. She see's people getting sentenced for 20 years just for protesting a rigged election. She knows she can't get a fair trial. She has to take the deal.
This is nothing like Peter denying Jesus. If trump would have had the knowledge that she would turn and tell the truth about him, he would have never let her into his inner circle. Jesus knew what Peter would do and did not try to stop him.

The comparison here is wild. If I recall, they actually made a golden statue of trump and his fans adored it.

DALLAS, TX—In a powerful show of devotion to the president of the United States, members of First Baptist Dallas passed their golden jewelry, watches, and personal trinkets down to the front of the sanctuary Sunday morning, where Pastor Robert Jeffress melted the large pile of golden knickknacks into a towering statue of President Donald Trump.

Members then reportedly assembled themselves around the statue and danced, joining in a spontaneous rendition of the church’s own hymn “Make America Great Again.”


WFTH-I That story is a satire.

The actual idol is considerably less impressive:

Why is the Trump statue in American flag underpants, though? Or are those supposed to be shorts?

Either way, yikes. He may not be actually worshipped as a false God (at least not in that particular story), but the actual statue is an example of a true gaud.

...I know, I know...I'm already leaving...

Sad, It reminds me of the golden cow in the Bible. That people worshiped instead of God. Trump is causing people to stumble.

The one that was marked as satire or the actual stature that appeared at the convention?
The article posted just showed satire. And that "actual statue" looks more brass than gold. Brass shines more than gold because it has to try harder. How much gold was passed forward? Looks like a pound or two... so that would make the value of that statue about $20,000-50,000.

Realistic... doesn't sound right.

Sounds and looks like satire... not news.
As I pointed out, the first one was satire. The second idol was for real.

And yes, the real idol appears to be brass-plated plastic. Which when you think about it, fits the subject better than gold, anyway.

Is the intention of the statue known? Or just presumed?

So then you confirm the story is satire as I said... thanks.

This is a strange take on this story.

I mean you keep saying "satire" but it's not. It's reporting a story.

Pray, why do you think Democrats are not creating a statue like this for Biden? Or, why didn't they make that statue for Obama (who many of us actually like...at least at first).

Was the exact reason for the statues creation stated?
Are you sure there are not idols of Biden and Obama somewhere?

The first example I posted, is satire as I said. The brass-plated plastic idol is for real and was displayed at a pro-Trump event for the adoration of his followers.

And what was the stated purpose of the statue?
With references please.
