(Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday he would create a White House faith office and direct Attorney General Pam Bondi to lead a task force on eradicating what he called anti-Christian bias within the federal government. Trump delivered remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast at the U.S. Capitol and used his speech to call for "unity", telling lawmakers his relationship with religion has "changed" after a pair of failed assassination attempts last year. At a second prayer breakfast in Washington, Trump struck a more partisan tone, took a victory lap for getting "rid of woke over the last two weeks" and announced steps to protect Christians from what he said was religious discrimination.

    You were missing the inquisition. WERE.

      We’re apparently trying to speedrun European history into 4 years or less, but in reverse, and ending in the dark ages.
