Virtually Godly
If one still needs any further evidence of the rank hypocrisy, stupidity and gullibility that cripples this nation, then look no further than any "Christian" evangelical government shindig. There was one earlier today on the National Mall, the Rededicate250 spectacle that promised to restore "God’s presence in our national life throughout 250 years of American history."Trump: pic.twitter.com/G2n0P14m7G

As one can expect, it drained into DC the usual assorted evangelical
asshats, including Franklin Graham, who yelled and screamed about violence in video games
while making no mention of ICE's violence against human beings or us
bombing 170 Iranian schoolgirls into the Stone Age. There was also radio
host Eric Metaxas, who told the crowd, "Yes, it's hard to believe that
it would take two centuries for the Lord
to raise up a great man to bring that ballroom finally to stand where
it needs to stand. It's extraordinary. We only had to wait 200 years."
Yeah, thank God he fast-tracked the Apocalypse on our behalf.
(Eyeroll intermission.)
But the real highlight of the day was when Trump phoned it in with a
pre-recorded video that was played for the thousands of gullible morons
in attendance. Trump struggled to recite a Bible passage he didn't know
from a book he obviously never read while, presumably, an open Bible
sat under his grubby hands (Wasn't God paying attention? How come it
didn't burst into flames?).
12 seconds into his heavily-edited video, he coined a new pronunciation of an old word: "Prosperously".
Overall, he put in a pretty good performance, considering every few
seconds he had to keep snorting the Adderall back up his nostrils.
Of course, I'm sure it was lost on those gullible rubes that while
that video was being played, Trump was already on the back nine at Mar a
Lago because God forbid he should leave his beloved golf course a day
early and personally appear at this event. The National Mall, in case
you don't know, is literally within walking distance of the White House.
Yet, Trump couldn't be bothered to put in a personal appearance and
provide more than indifferent lip service.
One would be more than hard-pressed to name a single instance in
which Trump has done in his nearly 80 years on this earth that could be
even remotely construed as Christian, godly or spiritual. The only
pretense that Trump continues to make in this snarling period of his
life is hid shameless sucking up to the evangelical demographic, which
he doesn't need, any more, since he can't legally run for a third term.
Keep in mind, this is a guy who refused to put his hand on the Bible
during his inauguration. This is a guy who violently cleared the
streets of protesters so he could scowl in front of St. John's, a church
he never entered, so he could hold a borrowed Bible upside down. This
is the same guy who recently made a mockery of the National Prayer Breakfast by pissing and moaning, yet again, about how he was robbed in
2020.
But Trump's virtual appearance today showed a new low. trump droned
on for two minutes and 40 seconds, tilting his double-woven head left
and right while pretending to know what he was talking about, was a new
low.
