The Better Analog
On this Good Friday, some are comparing Donald Trump to Jesus Christ. Pontius Pilate -- a man who believed that cruelty was the point -- is a better analog. I'll be back on Monday.

I thought Xian nationalists had decided that Trump was a modern-day King Cyrus, an infidel who is nevertheless divinely chosen as a vessel for God's will. The Cyrus story is even found in Isaiah 45 and Trump was the 45th president, so you know it's gotta be true. It's a bit late to be changing the narrative now. As the saying goes, "Get off the cross, we need the wood!"
Can we crucify him and bury him and have him disappear for 2000 years and counting? The economic boom from new holy relics will support the GDP for decades.
It was the religious right that put Trump where he is today as they did GW Bush and Ronald Reagan . The difference being that George and Ronnie were religious whilst Trump is just a con man. Blind faith should not be underestimated.

These folks can never get their story straight, Cap.

That assumes he's a gift to society, lungta. Experience should teach us that Mr.Trump is a social disease, not a gift.

Oh, he's a gift alright. Trump's of German descent, and the German word for poison is Gift.
Blind faith has been the source of much evil, TB.
And this gift keeps on giving, Cap.
