The Resurrection

I know it's still early, but has it happened yet?
Are there any contingency plans? Any new dates for the next resurrection if this one fails?

it has already happened, but no one in the Biden Administration or the rest of the Government will be told until 2025, for reasons of operational security.

I guess they could announce Stephanie Clifford as the guest speaker at the event. That gives them the option to point out that they were misinterpreted:
They never claimed that The Storm was coming. They have been talking about Stormy the whole time!

Trump Hotel Rates Are Over $1,300 on March 4—the Date in a Wild QAnon Theory (WP, Feb. 25, 2021)
QAnon Already Turning Back on March 4 Theory as Day of Donald Trump Prophecy Arrives (Newsweek, March 4, 2021)
I hope they can still cancel their reservations.
Maybe they can transfer them to these guys:
US Capitol police warn of possible militia plot to breach Congress (BBC News, March 4, 2021)

In 2000 years, Trump will still be the messiah of this cult, and they'll still predict His return and coronation. There will be saints and prayers and holy books, mark my words.

Will He return on January 6 or some other arbitrary, but significant, date?

The books will be filled with stories (sorry, parables) of His defiance of the three headed Squad, a three headed beast, the evil Pelosi and the vile Antifa, who tried to prevent his sacred return on the 6th day of the new year by engaging in riotous and unruly behaviour.

Can't wait to hear how the former loyal follower betrayed Him, the most loyal of Men, by not defying the false electors who did not confirm him, or how He resisted the temptations of the Storm(y).

The Trump cult of personality is treading the boundaries of realism.

If any of these nuts' descendants survive to the next century they will be telling the Legend of Donald Trump.

I got junk mail from the Jehovah's Witnesses today. It included this line:

Quote:
It's about this time of year that people began thinking of Jesus and what he did for us that is to die on a torture steak so we could be reconciled to GOD. Just think living forever in a paradise earth. This invitation I've sent is for a talk that will be given on his death and how we will benefit.
There's so much there to unpack! But I am loving "torture steak". Did it come with sides? They didn't have potatoes there at that time, so what would it have been? I'm guessing whatever it was wouldn't include bacon bits, unless they did it deliberately to offend.

Heretic! No Tru Trumpist(tm) would ever support the Januaryist heresy! That blasphemous date celebrates the day the Demon Anitfa twisted The Holy Trump's Perfect Speech of Peace, and used it as an excuse to attack the Capitol under a false flag!

Renoucne the Januaryist heresy, lest we find ourselves thrown into the outer darkness of another Bidemon presidency!

Dead gods are plentiful in mythology, the innovation here is "torture steak". I can't decide if that's a steak so good it's torture to see it but not get any, or if it's a steak so bad it hurts you to eat it. I've experienced both but not to the point of fatality. Usually with a very good steak the torture is the bill.

Bill Bailey's theory is that Jesus faked his own death to boost sales of his book.

Obviously a typo. S/B TourtièreWP

Though making one with steak would be overkill.

They prepare for March 20, too:
Quote:
About 5,200 Guard members remain on duty in Washington, where the sprawling security operation costs $2 million per week to maintain. The Guard’s mission here is scheduled to end March 12, but the Capitol Police has asked that it be extended for 60 days.
At the Capitol, a March 4 threat from militant Trump supporters proves a mirage (WP, March 4, 2021)

It’s a well-done steak smothered with ketchup.

Ah, yeah, sorry about that. The rapture already happened on December 20'th 2012. Turns out the Mayans were counting down to SOMETHING all right.

Unfortunately almost nobody qualified. You lot obviously didn't.

Remember the part about "blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven"? (Matt 5:3) Yeah, turns out it actually did mean the retarded.

Remember that part about "whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart"? (Matt 5:28) Yeah, turns out that the only way to qualify is to pretty much not have even heard of sex, much less thought of it.

So, anyway, long story short: the only ones who actually qualified were a husband and wife in rural Alabama, who had been praying for a child for almost 5 years, but nobody had told them that they have to meet God half way and do something about it themselves too. Allegedly their last words between being whisked to heavens in a flash of light were, "Wait... wait... we could have been putting what into where?"

Truly an inspiration to us all.

And yeah, Jesus did come down for the event, but is now on his way back to heaven. Well, after they finally sort out that mishap where the airport lost his luggage.

I just drove past a house alongside a highway near Castle Rock Washington They still have a Trump sign and the GOP losing candidate for Governor as well as a sign that says Biden isn't the President.

I bet there's a pickup truck with rifle in the back window and a JESUS SAVES sticker on the bumper, too.
