“I don’t like people who use their faith as justification for doing what they know is wrong. Nor do I like people who say I pray for you when they know that’s not so.”

So sayeth The Chosen One.

Amen and pass the tequila.

If the National Prayer Breakfast is now going to be a campaign rally and petulant child grievance session, we might as well open up the bar.

Then the devil went up to the top of the highest mountain;

And revealed all the kingdoms of the world and their riches;

“All this I will give unto thee,” he said, “if thou wilt but bow down and worship me”;

And White Evangelicals fell on their knees faster than a shoe salesman on commission-only.

he must’ve had that line prepared in advance. It’s far too coherent a sentence for him to have generated on his own.

“Weeks ago and again yesterday, courageous Republican politicians and leaders had the wisdom, fortitude, and strength to do what everyone knows was right,” he said. “I don’t like people who use their faith as justification for doing what they know is wrong. Nor do I like people who say I pray for you when they know that’s not so.”

Susan Collins, this is the Trump you thought would learn something from the impeachment process.

I see him proposing some monumentally inane and illegal measures to insulate his administration from oversight in the future. Of course with the DOJ and SCOTUS in his pocket the inanity and illegality of what he has planned is a moot point.

Once he strokes out from too many ‘hamberders,’ he’s going to be on the receiving end of a can of divine whoop ass.
