" G has fetal alcohol syndrome, autism, ADHD and a mild intellectual disability. Cupp and her husband adopted G as a toddler, and Cupp asked that NPR use only G's first initial because this story describes the symptoms of G's disabilities and her school's response.

Cupp says that after weeks of trying to get G's school to change the way it handled her daughter's behavior, she filed a complaint with the U.S. Education Department's Office for Civil Rights, or OCR, which investigates discrimination in schools.

Now, Cupp and other parents say their civil rights complaints aren't being investigated. Last week, Cupp joined a lawsuit that aims to force the federal government to act on complaints like hers. The lawsuit claims the layoffs have undermined OCR's "ability to fulfill its statutory and regulatory mandate to enforce civil rights laws in schools."

"I just can't fathom that anybody would cut something so vital," says Cupp, a devout Christian. She says she voted for President Trump and thought he shared her beliefs. "But I can't understand why they're doing what they're doing, because that is not what God would intend."

------------------------------------------

This bastardization of Christianity gets me so frickin pissed my hair hurts!

I know so many "christians" just like this lady and her husband.

Note they "adopted" a child with fetal alcohol syndrome. I guaran-fucking-tee you that they felt they were saving this child from her "heathen" mother. They praise themselves as "saviors". I also guarantee you that they close their eyes and beat their breasts in the "front-row" of whatever fucked up church they attend.

Saint Matthew wrote extensively about these pious dipshits in his gospel.

She fucking voted for Donnie Dipshit, because she felt he shared her "Christian Values"?

...she probably has no clue how right she is!

[yardwork]

1. I feel very sorry for that child.

They've never gotten a break.

[erronis]

2. She's also mixed up about god and christianity. God will do anything she damn well wants.

Christianity, at least as following the teachings of Jesus (from what we know), is not what these nationalist xians want. They want almost exactly the opposite.

[sop]

29. If Jesus is real there's gonna be a whole lot of confused Republicans in Hell.

[LoisB]

33. Amen.

[sprinkleeninow]

37. They'll say, "...but didn't we....?"

To which He'll respond,
"Depart from Me. I knew you not."

[LoisB]

48. Yes!

[Martin Eden]

3. Two-Dolls Donald is the anitithesis of "Christian values"

Anyone who couldn't see that by November 2024 is stupid or willfully blind.

[leftieNanner]

28. Oh yes!

The man who embraces all seven of the deadly sins, and who has broken all ten commandments - multiple times - is a true and righteous Christian.

[Mariana]

52. I don't agree.

Christianity is as Christianity does. 63% of Protestant voters and 59% of Catholic voters cast their ballots for Trump in 2024, according to the exit polls.

[Martin Eden]

60. Christianity is not a monolithic block as those percentages attest. Many adhere to the source material as best they can.

What men have done in God's name throughout history reveals the dark side of human nature, but that does not disprove the existence of a divine entity or what it may have intended for humanity. I say this as an agnostic with no religious belief.

Bottom line, rightwing holy rollers play a large role in the definition of deplorable.

[Mariana]

67. Those percentages attest to a substantial majority.

A majority literally means not all, i.e not a monolithic block.

Bottom line, rightwing holy rollers play a large role in the definition of deplorable.
I agree completely. And the majority of Christian voters in the US are rightwing holy rollers.

[Demobrat]

62. They're probably anti-abortion.

So they think he’s a godly man.

[Martin Eden]

64. Donnie 2-Dolls doesn't give a damn about abortion, except to con fools into voting for him

And those pseudo-Christians think they've bought their ticket to Heaven by advocating for the fetus, which also gives them license for cruelty to the living.

[Demobrat]

69. Of course he doesn't. He's no doubt paid for many.

But they think he does.

[Rebl2]

4. In

what world did she think he shared her Christian values? He has never displayed Christian values in his life.

[maxrandb]

13. Indiana "World"

I have zero doubt that she voted for politicians and School Board members that promised to destroy the Department of Education, and put in place school policies that allow children to be restrained and locked in padded rooms. She just assumed "Civil Rights" were only for "undeserving" minority children...not hers.

She gladly voted for, and I would bet supports, sending "immigrants" to an El Salvador Concentration Camp for LIFE without due process, but don't you dare put her child in a padded Blue Room.

I'll bet my left-nut she cheered at the video of immigrants getting stripped down to their underwear and having their heads shaved.

[Diamond_Dog]

5. These people are so delusional, or brainwashed, or both.

Your line “This bastardization of Christianity gets me so frickin pissed my hair hurts!” describes my feelings exactly!

[markodochartaigh]

14. They live in a bubble.

Their family, friends, co-workers, employees, employer, church, etc. are all part of that bubble.

[Irish_Dem]

6. She knows Trump is a criminal.

We have all seen some of his crimes committed on TV, insurrection, stolen documents, etc.
And we have seen his trials on TV.

He is a criminal, rapist, liar, traitor, cheat and thief.
And he has Christian values?
Sure.

[magicarpet]

47. But,... but,... but,... The Orange One,....

...... found Jeezbuzzz.

[Irish_Dem]

49. I think most MAGAs are lying.

They know Trump is a ruthless criminal, but he hates the same people they hate.
And they love the cruelty.

And they think he will commit as many crimes as he can to help them get rich.
When they know he only helps himself.

[Mariana]

53. I think you're exactly right.

They prefer to be thought of as stupid and gullible, rather than admit the disgusting truth about themselves.

[3catwoman3]

78. He hates everybody.

Even them.

[Omnipresent]

56. They know they're shameful people...

They “mask it” by trying to parade around as christians.
Very few people want to be around in public saying, “Yeah, i’m a walking pile of shit for a person!”.
It does nothing for a person’s self esteem.

[Irish_Dem]

59. It seems that the bigger the cross around their necks, the more sins they commit.

[JT45242]

7. I'll bet she hates the last three devout christians who were president

Joe Biden -- devout Catholic. Regular attendance in mass his whole life.

Barrack Obama -- she'll likely hates him because he's a Muslim. Ignoring the fact that he took was a fairly regular attendee at church. Loyal to his wife and children. (And not a Muslim, but she likely believes this lie)

Jimmy Carter who taught Sunday school in rotation as part of his presidency. Spent his life feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, ...you know the stuff that Jesus said his followers should do.

But she loves the serial adulterer and rapist. Thief. Liar.

She probably loved the oil man liar who spent college coked up.

[Beartracks]

30. They believe what they WANT to believe. I'm just confused as to why they want to believe it.

They ignore facts on all sides of a situation and always just believe the Republican must be holy and devout -- especially if he, you know, SAYS he is and all.

There seems to be a NEED for them to believe that Trump is practically the next coming of Jesus.

================

[sprinkleeninow]

36. Many of these deceived are preached to from the pulpit

in the community where they attend services.

That's why politics, especially who to vote for, spoken about from pulpits should be forbidden and ANATHEMA!! But this practice is widespread and accepted.

Many non-Eastern Orthodox Christian traditions of faith disregard this practice and promote political sway which the congregation will accept as gospel truth. Which it ain't....

[Demobrat]

8. If she didn't have a child with disabilities

she would still be worshipping the ground he walks on. They only care when it affects them.

[crud]

10. nail, hammer on head

[InstantGratification]

18. Wait til they disband the Dept of Ed

I have a friend that retired from the local school district back in Jan. As head of IT, he sat in on all the budget meetings. Soon after the election, I asked him how eliminating the DoEd would affect district funding. He said a bit more the 90% of their funds came from state and local revenue streams, that they would definitely feel the loss but could absorb it. Special needs being the exception, almost all of special needs funding came from the feds. The state would have to step up and fund it or eliminate the special needs programs.

Most states are in the same boat, some kick in extra above what the feds provide, but pretty much all special needs programs would collapse without federal funding. This lady is going to get a major working over by a clue by four right before the leopard eats her face.

[JT45242]

44. A bunch of state money is pass thru (titled money)

textbooks...titled funds

Professional development...titled funds

Free lunch programs and food subsidies...titled funds

It will be closer to 20-25 percent loss when all is said and done.

[InstantGratification]

45. I wondered about that, but my friend didn't know

I suspected that but didn't have access to a source that could tell me.

[JT45242]

46. I was department chair and other jobs...

Textbooks and other pass through funds were a big worry for me.

People tend to know their little niche of the money...

[Ruby the Liberal]

50. Got it in one.

[republianmushroom]

9. And the education of America continues.

Voting for donnie dipshit, because one feels they share his "Christian Values", shows how dumb one is. He doesn't have "Christian Values" for Chrissake and you need to look deeper at your so called "Christian Values".

[dchill]

11. ...and?

This person needs to invest in a mirror.

[GopherGal]

71. Would be too confusing

for her one remaining brain cell when she noticed that person in the mirror moved in the opposite direction...

[dchill]

72. Anything else would be a bad reflection.

[cab67]

12. Speaking as an evolutionary biologist -

- I'm constantly struck by how closely the "Christianity" of many evangelicals approximates natural selection.

[Gum Logger]

74. Yep. They are a bumch of nasty ole social Darwinizm

[Martin68]

15. These pseudo-Chrisitians are just like the rest of the MAGA base. They all live in a bubble world of deluded beliefs

they've picked up the the MAGA echo chamber. If a liberals said it, it's a lie; if Trump said it, it's the gospel truth.

[Marcuse]

16. She voted for the Leopards Eating Peoples' Face Party because she thought she was a leopard.

[Americanme]

17. I can't believe any voter in this country was unaware of the Billy Bush tape.

"When you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the..." Nobody with a lick of common sense thinks he has christian beliefs. But I guess that's good cover for voting for a guy who hates who you hate, without sounding like a racist.

[walkingman]

20. I grew up around white evangelicals - it doesn't surprise me a bit.

The last time Democrats won the presidential white vote was in 1964, Lyndon B. Johnson versus Barry Goldwater.

In every presidential election since then, Democrats have lost the white vote.

White Southerners (mostly evangelical) began to leave the Democratic Party after Democratic President Lyndon Johnson signed the 1964 Civil Rights Act, before then nearly 80 percent of white adults who lived in the 11 states of the former Confederacy identified as Democrats.

[mountain grammy]

32. He signed the Civil Rights Bill and Voting Rights Act

also Medicare into the law of the land. Democrats have been demonized ever since, but the one thing that stuck was abortion. We're pro killing innocent life, therefore evil, Everything from that rotten root.

The right wing found the bludgeon that worked and used it over and over, till that's all there was.

[oldmanlynn]

19. I'm guessing she would still vote for Trump

That’s how the Maga cult behaves

[Mariana]

54. I'm guessing you're right.

I haven't seen anything that indicates that his Christian supporters are turning on him in any great numbers.

[3Hotdogs]

21. Excellent last sentence.

[JoseBalow]

22. It's hard for people to admit they got suckered

So much easier to just make up excuses.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

23. Sad to say, but American christians are particularly prone to cultism & veneration & autocracy. Sheeple. . . .nt

[Be The Light]

24. Unbelievable!

These people are dumb as rocks!

[Javaman]

25. Morons with their vote, are soon parted

She’s now in the find out stage. Sucks, don’t it?

Moron

[BaronChocula]

26. I really don't think anyone is that delusional

It's like those farmers who voted for Rapey. In his first term, bankruptcies and suicides among farmers shot up. Yet they continue to support him. Cultural white voting will kill the cultural white.

[Warpy]

27. He does share the values of some self identified Christians

who are nasty, grasping bullies who despise their neighbors and feel entitled to do so.

The sooner people realize this, the better. These people should be reviled, not put in charge.

[Blue Owl]

31. That's only the tip of the iceberg, toots.....

[OverBurn]

34. I can see how easy it would be to think Trump is a good christian. He is the living embodiment of Christ.

The way he lives his life and the things he says and does. You can just tell how devoted he is in his faith and the teachings of Christ.

Holy fucking shit, do they live under a fucking rock. He's the least likely to have ANY values of ANY kind in the history of the office. Jesus Fucking Christ these MAGA morons are unbelievable. Sorry for the kid, but fuck them.

[patphil]

35. But I can't understand why they're doing what they're doing, because that is not what God would intend.

Amy, the next time you vote, take some time to know what the candidates actually stand for.
Trump has spent his whole adult life demonstrating a total disregard for "Christian values". The only thing he will actively, completely support is himself.
But he's very good at playing suckers like you; people who want so badly to have someone work for them in government that they fail to actually look behind the campaign hype. He plays on people's fears and prejudices, getting you all riled up over issues that either don't actually exist, or are being greatly distorted. His promises are designed to blind you to his actual agenda.
And, that agenda is to be a dictator instead of a leader, so he can achieve his dream of complete power, total control, and, of course, nearly unlimited personal wealth.

First lesson to learn when dealing with Trump is to understand that he doesn't care about anyone other than himself.

[NNadir]

38. This reminds me of the remark made by Alan Watts about Christians, which was that rather than adopt...

...the religion of Jesus, they chose to adopt a religion about Jesus, but as it developed, the Jesus they worship has no connection to the putative tales of his life. They just stick an orange sticker on their hatred and call it "Christianity."

I may be an atheist now, but I was raised as a Christian as a child - my parents read the bible every day - and I'll be damned if the orange slime mold in the White House doesn't resemble that anti-Christ in their book of revelations. All he needs is a 666 tattoo on his forehead.

[BurnDoubt]

40. "Show us the Hoof!"

[NNadir]

42. Would a bone spur count?

[BurnDoubt]

39. I have NEVER seen a photo of this miscreant...

in any church, anywhere. He has Never declined a photo op in his entire life, to my knowledge. The notion of him being a christian (lower case "c&quot is perhaps the biggest hoax in the history of huckster-isms. Even his "spiritual adviser" looks like Ivanka gone long-in-the-tooth. Actual Christians should slap their pastors for spewing this hypocrisy.

[BurnDoubt]

41. Come to think of it... Jesus WASN'T a Christian....

Be like Him??????

[H2O Man]

43. Recommended.

The gospel attributed to Jesus's friend Matthew is the most interesting of the four. It is the first in the Good Book, though likely not the first written. No one can say who wrote it, of course, but it appears to be someone familiar with Jewish tradition and influenced by Greek thought. It is sometimes called the "Buddhist gospel," for obvious reasons.

[IbogaProject]

51. Likely international adoption

China has been sending their Down Syndrome Kids over here to christian families that can't qualify for normal adoption, either financial or being too old. Not sure if that is the case with this one, but I transpose Christian to Racist as their actual beliefs if they support Prez Trollop.

[Demobrat]

61. I was thinking the kid was probably abandoned/left in their care

by an addicted family member who is either dead or gone. They took it in because social pressure would not allow them to do otherwise. They use the word adopted, but that doesn’t mean anything.

[IbogaProject]

63. I feel for the kids no matter how stupid the adults are

https://dsq-sds.org/index.php/dsq/article/view/6662/5249

Here is the very end of the paper.

In this new phenomenon in which children with disabilities from China are being disproportionately exported to the West, we see how both the Chinese government and Western countries attribute the problem to cultural backwardness, all the while perpetuating a cultural politics in which the West maintains its own families by incorporating and rehabilitating Chinese adoptees.

Therefore, any proposed solution to the problem of disabled abandonments in China must take into account not only the Chinese government's lack of welfare provisions and discrimination toward children with disabilities, but also the demand for such children from the West and international structures that facilitate ICAs at the expense of sending countries and in favor of adopting countries. The political and economic inequality rampant and reified through the practice of ICA takes on a eugenic, moral quality with the movement toward the processing of a high number of ICAs of children with disabilities, not just in the case of China but with respect to other countries, as well (Joyce 2013). The fact that there are families in China readily fostering and eager to adopt children with disabilities, and yet they are being disproportionately adopted abroad goes to show that the efforts of ICA are not serving the best interests of Chinese families. And that is a problem that should not merely be the concern of China but of all parties involved.

[milestogo]

55. What was it you didn't get about "grab 'em by the pussy"?

Isn't that something all "Christian" men say?

[Cha]

57. lol because he

Fucking said so

[Demobrat]

58. Do they hear this stuff at church?

From the pulpit, or the people around them? That’s the only thing I can figure out.

[Mariana]

79. Yes.

Churches aren't supposed to support or endorse a particular party or candidate and keep their tax exemption. However, that law is never enforced, so right wing preachers feel free to tell their flocks to vote for Trump.

[Hassler]

65. What gave this woman the idea Krasnov

Shared anything with her? Was she in a coma his first four years? Didn't catch the 34 fraud convictions? The rape judgment? What exactly told this fool she shared anything with him?

[maxrandb]

66. He hates and will punish the same people she hates and wants to see punished

Just like Jesus told us.

[LudwigPastorius]

68. That is depressing as fuck.

Her daughter may have Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, but it sounds like she is the one with brain damage.

[ecstatic]

70. It couldn't be clearer that tRump's voters are shitty people

Anyone who voted for him in 2024 is trash. I hope G gets the help needed but Cupp is a piece of shit.

[AllyCat]

73. I feel badly for her daughter and all the other people these

Bigoted, hateful Krasnov supporters have hurt.

Cupp can go pound sand.

[Bluetus]

75. If you want to be a Republican, you MUST always follow this one rule

Never concern yourself with anybody else's struggles, but if something affects you personally, scream like hell.

As far as "Christian values", no, not buying that.

[Emile]

76. WTH, she is questioning the Chosen One! LOL

[perfessor]

77. To quote John Fugelsang,

“Anyone who follows both Jesus and Trump has never read either of their books.”
