Father Duke — a little foreshadowing?

The lit-fuse bomb is Newt. Father Duke though, I’m not sure I recognize him.

This storyline lead to the introduction of a new character.

Father Duke of the “Engulf & Devuor Church” – Thank to Mel Brooks .

Here’s a story on what inspired this plotline: https://archive.thinkprogress.org/that-time-newt-gingrich-tried-to-take-kids-away-from-welfare-recipients-and-put-them-in-orphanages-261e525ea22e/

Join ours. We are all reverend ministers in the The Church of the Sixth Day Adventurist and Seventh Day Pickmeup!

how are they going to traffick the kids after they tear them from their parents?

Uh oh. I’m sensing a new generation of “Oliver” or “Annie” coming up. Father Duke?

This is from the days Ol’ Newt the Brute wanted to take the children of unwed teen mothers and put them into orphanages. Which was 16 years before he floated the idea that public schools should fire their janitors and make the kids of poor families do the cleaning instead.

Oh, yeah, that was Gingrinch after his “Contract On America.”

I’m certain Duke’s plan involves stacking them vertically.

I think his proposal will be called “Orphans ’R Us.”

Sometimes Duke makes me want to puke…

Ha! I don’t remember this one. Duke as priest, should be entertaining.

In my opinion, Gingrich marked the point where the Republican party abandoned all interest in governing for the people and were just there to make them and their cronies rich and powerful.

And the last puzzle piece clicks into place.

Aye of Newt.

So THAT’S who Betsy De Vos has been channeling……..

Does Duke have a last name?
