No, He Can't Get to Heaven (On Big Fat Lies) [1]

With (for the nonce) less bully and more pulpit than usual, basking in and burbling at the fake halos of some worshipful Fox ‘News’ ninnies, in dire need of divine forgiveness AND of all-too-human repentance, our Mammon-crazed overlord sees fit to chirp (I kid you not) “Let’s go to heaven, let’s get into heaven.” (Hallelujah, already.)

For him, that’s quite a stretch. If that sounds harsh, so be it. In effect, even he now admits he’s long lurked smack at the bottom of God’s “totem pole.” In line with that, he’s miserably failed at the task on which he’s inferred that his soul’s fate may hang: the presto-chango cessation of his pal Vladimir Putin’s blitz of men, women, and children in Ukraine.

Even worse, he keeps piling on his own perfidy (not to say evil). And the contrast could not be much clearer. While Jesus says “Let the children come to me” (Matthew 19:14, Mark 10:14), Trump’s own troop launches a deportation crusade against some 600+ Guatemalan youngsters. (Let it be stressed: you don’t need a doctorate in exegesis to resolve that day-and-night juxtaposition. Sad.)

And there’s more. Trump’s Big Brotherly (NOT God-The-Fatherly) rule by bogus brimstone (via lies by the tens of thousands) suggests just how deep the bottom of said totem pole may reach. (Four words: the Gospel Truth, it ain’t.)

To wit, Matthew 25. That famed, oft GOP-slashed chapter explicitly damns anything and anyone within light years of inhumanity. Or indecency. Let alone full-blown cruelty. Indeed, to those who fail to help (let alone those who scourge) the sick, the poor, the homeless, and/or the jailed, Jesus effectively prescribes precisely what Trump now indicates he himself seeks to avoid.

Namely, “eternal fire” (verse 41). Which should raise questions. Can newsies and donkeys read? Assuming they can, why have they lacked the nerve, the guts, and the spine to call out the evils on which our self-styled “Chosen One” (now while purportedly aspiring to an afterlife, no less) makes bold to touch?

Here’s the thing. While ceding religion to Trump’s cruel cult, Dems have lost real power in all three branches. In voices loud as thunder, a reckoning is long overdue. With our backs to the wall and masked goons burgeoning, can we stop ceding? Quit retreating? And, for God’s sake, stand for something?
