“I really need a miracle today!!” Byrd wrote Thursday. “My doctor said if my oxygen level doesn’t improve then he has no choice but to put me on a ventilator. So please pray that God will breathe His healing spirit into my lungs!!”
“… According to the Tennessean, the 63-year-old Waynesboro Representative was seen amongst some 70 House Republicans during a caucus meeting Nov. 24, with his face butt-ass naked just raw dogging air like he’s not living in a pandemic. A week-and-a-half later he was hospitalized with the virus.”
From one of the comment:
"Reminds me of the drowning man parable. Dudes drowning at sea and turns down an offer of help from a rowboat, a motorboat, and a helicopter. “No thanks, God will save me” he says. After he drowns and goes to heaven he asks God, “Why didn’t you save me?” God said, “I sent you a rowboat, a motorboat and a helicopter. What more did you want from me?”
So God sent this dolt brilliant doctors/scientist, the ability to detect the virus and its transmission, fucking masks and he still says “God will save me”. He’s been trying to save you for months, you soon to be dead idiot."
He didn’t “lose everything” for “you people”, he lost it due to his own egocentric pontificating that came across as endorsing child sexual abuse. His ego got so inflated by right-wing adulation for his dishonest schtick (i.e., the notion that saying outrageously offensive and bigoted things somehow intrinsically constitutes some kind of admirable championing of free-speech principles) that he forgot that there are some kinds of outrageously offensive and bigoted things that even right-wingers won’t stand for.
But it’s tough to believe that Trump could be satisfied by mere fake magazine-covers, after all these years of having “Christians” lay hands on him and tell him he’s the Chosen One. He will need something much more powerful than a fake magazine cover to satisfy that raging ego…perhaps a fake Canonization from a fake Pope?
I’m sure there’s a business opportunity in there somewhere…
If we’ve learned one thing in the past four years, it’s that norms are meant to be discarded.
Not likely. Better: Trump has this Pope fired and installs Jared as the new one. So, he’s Jewish? And married? And a sniveling little weasel of limited intellectual ability, not to mention being of poor character?
So what?
And what would give Donald Trump the power to do all these things, you ask? Why the power of 74 million American voters! That power can induce the GOP Senate to threaten to nuke Vatican City if their very reasonable demands fail to be met!
Reminds me of Father Guido Sarducci on SNL grousing about the first American saint only having three miracles under his belt (the standard being four)…“And I understand two of them are card tricks!”
