“You shall not fall in with the many to do evil, nor shall you bear witness in a lawsuit, siding with the many, so as to pervert justice…” Exodus 23:2
The inevitable has happened; as God’s Bartender suggested as appropriate, Jesus apparently has fashioned a whip to beat all those who stand in opposition to His choice. The Christian Right stands vindicated as all the declarations of victory against demonic strongholds have come to fruition. As God’s channelers of the force of faith on earth work the political landscape, God’s purposes thus are served as the Apostles instruct. The Liar-in-Chief, the Obstructer and Obfuscator, our Lord Solicitor, our (and Israel’s) brazen Hope, and indeed God’s Chosen, has dealt a mortal blow to all the remaining conventions meant to balance power. The Senate has given the green light to our man; he can do (just about?) anything he wants if he is doing it to get reelected. It will be very entertaining to hear the justifications for our man’s gross misconduct (which is inevitable) and abuse of power in his second term when (in theory?) our man cannot serve a third.
Of what use is it to cite evidence? Is there anything anyone could say to change anybody’s mind? ‘There is nothing new under the sun.’ Facts and morals do not matter. Our Man did corrupt things (against established national security interests) with the intent of trashing a political opponent and the Senate put its stamp of approval on such corruption thus showing its true colors. The Parties run the show.
Our Man gave the Rich who run this country (thanks Citizen’s United) a huge tax cut. Both Republican and Democrat depend on this money. What the little guys get out of this deal is a dog-and-pony-show in which we are flooded with bullshit ads about how terrible the other guy is leaving us with the inevitable choice of the lesser-of-two-evils. This is nothing new; but this demonstration of the power of the moneyed interests, including the conglomerate of the Christian Right, to compel our great deliberative body to openly lick Trump’s boots is a new low.
Evil ones mourn while Good Christians everywhere will rejoice as Satan’s strongholds are demolished. Our Man, our defender, finally has the freedom to do what it takes to ‘Make America Great Again.’
Yippee…
“And they’ll tell you black is really white
The moon is just the sun at night
And when you walk in golden halls
You get to keep the gold that falls
It’s heaven and hell, oh no”
