Show us where those words appear in the Constitution.:rolleyes:

I'll go one better. I'll give you the words of the man who wrote the Constitution:

When a bill officially incorporating an Episcopal church in Washington, D.C., reached President James Madison's desk one day in February of 1811, he knew just what to do: reach for a veto pen.

Madison was never one to tolerate any official ties between church and state. As he explained in a veto message to Congress, he rejected the church incorporation measure because it "exceeds the rightful authority to which governments are limited by the essential distinction between civil and religious functions."

It "violates in particular," said Madison, "the article of the Constitution of the United States which declares that 'Congress shall make no law respecting a religious establishment.'"​

Or, if you prefer:

“The purpose of separation of church and state is to keep forever from these shores the ceaseless strife that has soaked the soil of Europe in blood for centuries.​

But what did he know?

And where did Trump violate the separation of church and state?

Your deflection is not "one better." A letter has no force of law. The fact that Madison used the phrase, referencing the ACTUAL language in the constitution and giving an accurate example of what that ACTUAL language means does nothing to bolster your wanting to use five words in apocrypha combined in a phrase that has not been defined, debated, nor incorporated into the constitution does not lend any credence at all to your rewrite of the constitution and your interpretation of what those words would mean in that context if they had been included. . .which they weren't.

Actually, that was one less. You aren't quoting the law.

No, I did. You're simply too dense to understand the man who wrote the law followed the law and stated why he was following the law.

It's typical of the uneducated. When given facts, they deflect or make excuses how the facts aren't really facts because they have nothing else to come up with.

SYK does a great deal of ironing.

Or is just ironic.

Highly edjumacated tho.

Still doesn't change the fact that you want the words separation of church and state to mean something different than what is explicitly stated in the Constitution which is that the state shall not interfere with anyone's religion and they shall not establish one. That's it. None of the other things that you fantasize is meant by the separation of church and state have any force of law.. Or else it would say so. And it does not.

Speaking of deflection....you never did point out exactly what 45 has done to violate separation of church and state.

Unless he invoked the full power of the federal government to interfere with someone's free exercise of religion or picked out a specific religion and announce that we as a country are now going to worship that particular brand of a religion he couldn't possibly have violated it..

I understand that, SYK probably knows that too, that's why he won't answer. :D

He's just another NPC.

The Russians don't let God anywhere near their power structures, neither do the Chinese.

Wouldn't it be nice if you were friends with the Russians?

Women don't let themselves be around you. Wouldn't you like to be around women?
 
Angry at what? With every iteration, you get less funny and more pathetic. This version is just a drooling puddle of dumbfuckery.

Moscow Mitch is not as funny as Cocaine Mitch, but it has some fine alliteration, and is apropos.
