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."
     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.
