Rosie O'Donnell said her "entire essence and beliefs" were shaken to the core after Trump was elected president in her first interview since the election.
The longtime Trump critic told W Magazine she was in "severe shock" when Trump won and went through "a lot of therapy."
"I was in pure unadulterated [shock], as if I had fallen through the ice on a lake; I was underneath the water, and I couldn’t even see the surface," O'Donnell told the mag. "It was a severe shock to my entire essence and my beliefs in the order in the world, and also the PTSD of having been an abused kid in a family."
She added, "I did a lot of therapy."
The 55-year-old said she was in "pure panic mode" the week following the election but is now just "devastated, disappointed, disheartened, and depressed by the reality of it."
The Hollywood liberal said, "I seriously worry whether I personally will be able to live through" Trump's presidency.
O'Donnell was outspoken about her disdain for Trump during the election, calling him "mentally unstable," among other things.
"mentally unstable," After reading what she said, she is the one that is mentally unstable.
Her daughter that doesn't want to live with her says that living with Rosie is like living in H E L L.
Her picture should be beside OBNOXIOUS in the dictionary. One of the GREAT no talents of all time!

George Washington's Church Says Plaque Honoring First President Must Come Down
Leaders at the church that George Washington attended decided that a plaque honoring the first president of the United States must be removed.
Christ Church in Alexandria, Virginia will take down a memorial marking the pew where Washington sat with his family, saying it is not acceptable to all worshipers.
“The plaques in our sanctuary make some in our presence feel unsafe or unwelcome," leaders said, a reference to the fact that Washington was a slaveholder.
"Some visitors and guests who worship with us choose not to return because they receive an unintended message from the prominent presence of the plaques.”

A. "...feel unsafe"? I'd love to hear the explanation of that phenomenon.
B. "...choose not to return." Is a heartfelt "G' bye" ever suitable?
I mean, how much pandering and rump-kissing is enough? I know. It will never, ever be enough. Even if you gifted some folk with brand-new automobiles as they came through the door, they'd quickly manage to say, "You disrespected me by not asking me what color I would have preferred."
Sssshhhhheesh! (Spelled whimsically.

Re: How Stupid Are They?
The church is Episcopal, a denomination leader in the whole SJW thing. And you wonder why the Episcopal Church is slowly going extinct. Along with most of the other "mainline" denominations.
Good riddance.

Re: How Stupid Are They?
A supposed Christian church which denies the teachings of the Bible does not deserve to exist. I say this as a baptized and confirmed, lapsed member of the American Episcopal Church.
Interesting that non-affiliated, fundamentalist churches are growing. As is the African part of the Anglican Communion.

Are you talking about the Old Testament apocrypha? As far as I know, only Catholics regard these books as canon.

I had to look it up also. It's not a person who really cares about social issues. It's a person that cares more about promoting themselves. Take a knee Mr. Kapernick.

Re: How Stupid Are They?
What Old Testament apocrypha? I suppose you meant New Testament apocrypha. Anyway, the New Testament, sans apocrypha, is the basis for Christian belief. The apocrypha are interesting, and maybe revealing, but only time will reveal their worth.Roy wrote:rex desilets wrote:A supposed Christian church which denies the teachings of the Bible does not deserve to exist.

Having said all that, I believe the four Gospels contain a fair amount of myth but, to me, irrelevant to the Good News of Christ's life, crucifixion, and resurrection.

What Jews, Protestants and Episcopals refer to as the Old Testament apocrypha are books such as Maccabees. These books were part of the Septuagint, which was a translation of the Hebrew Bible into the Greek of the day.
Anyway, I was raised Episcopal. What do you mean, specifically, by "A supposed Christian church which denies the teachings of the Bible does not deserve to exist."

Most that make such statements are believers in literal meaning of the Bible. The teachings of the Old Testament are really not relevant to Christianity; the New is.

Nit picking. The teachings of the Bible refer to the New Testament, specifically the Gospels. Sadly not much taught in today's hip mainline churches.
