Kelsey Grammer sounded curt this morning when he brusquely told a BBC Today program interviewer that he still supports Donald Trump but, according to his interviewer, this curtness doesn’t tell the full story.

Grammer’s interviewer Justin Webb said the Frasier star was “perfectly happy” to go on talking about his support for the former POTUS, “the Paramount+ PR team, less so.”

Grammer has previously expressed support for Trump – a relatively rare position for a TV and movie star to take – and he also used his BBC interview to back Roseanne Barr, another self-confessed Trump supporter.

    Kelsey Grammar has always been a bible bashing whack job.

    Just go look up his late night interview where he talks about how he randomly opens the bible to answer the question ‘how long will I live for?’ And is satisfied that god answers him by saying he will live to 160 (or some other ridiculous figure I can’t remember).

    Seriously he thinks the bible is a magic eight ball and god is guiding what page it turns to.

      “God, what awaits me today?”

      There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. --Ezekiel 23:20

      “oh.”

      Don’t you mean “bible thumping”? Bible bashing is what I do when I call it horse shit.

        Not OP, but where I’m from (NZ), bible bashers are what we call overly religious nuts who have to shoehorn god/bible into everything.

        I seem to remember that you’re fairly explicitly not supposed to use it like that. Because it’s akin to fortune telling or something which is supposed to be bad under the Bible, a broken clock and all that.

          No it is totally valid, people use fortune cookies the same way, if you look for these synchronicities you can have some weird predictions of the future or get a general Vibe for the way things are going. You aren’t supposed to take it too literally though.

            Well I mean it’s all somewhat arbitrary but technically, according to the Bible itself, no you’re not supposed to use it like that.
