is dedicated to Refugees, the Poor and the Marginalized with special mention of the liturgy from
Amos 6
Thus says the LORD the God of hosts:
Woe to the complacent in Zion!
Lying upon beds of ivory,
stretched comfortably on their couches,
they eat lambs taken from the flock,
and calves from the stall!
Improvising to the music of the harp,
like David, they devise their own accompaniment.
They drink wine from bowls
and anoint themselves with the best oils;
yet they are not made ill by the collapse of Joseph!
Therefore, now they shall be the first to go into exile,
and their wanton revelry shall be done away with.
to the story of Lazarus and the rich man who went to hell for his indifference to the destitute on his door step, you know, those who the Roberts Republican-fascist 6 said towns and cities could outlaw and harry out of town. The kind they're throwing off of Medicaid and all other forms of support.
But I'm being called out so I will also note that the UnJustified podcast with Alison Gill and Andrew McCabe has Mr. McCabe on with a full account of what he actually said and did in regard to the incident that James Comey is being indicted over and in the process shows why, of just about all the FBI figures in these issues, he is the only one I really respect. All of those in the media who are claiming that either Comey or McCabe has to be lying, and some of them are lawyers and should certainly know better, are lying about Andrew McCabe who told the truth all along and Comey at least didn't perjure himself when Ted Cruz asked his assinine question.
I'm entirely on Alison Gill's side in regard to her opinion of Comey and the likes of John Bolton, who I regard as villains even as I acknowledge they are being singled out for unethical prosecution by Trump and his trollop of an insurance lawyer-liar but, true to form, without refuting Gill's point McCabe states why you should care about even those you hold in such low regard being illegitimately prosecuted. We may disagree about some things but compared to everyone else who was involved with these issues, Andrew McCabe seems to me to be a real man of honor.
I recommend listening to the whole thing.
Gotta say this somewhere: the Comey indictment is so thin it doesn’t state what he allegedly did, and everyone is filling in the blanks. I’ve read that DOJ is saying the case presented to the grand jury was not about McCabe. But who knows? This thing is such a shit show, even talking about it is contributing to confusion DOJ is pretty much counting on. Because this case dies in a courtroom, and Trump couldn’t care less about that. The process is the punishment. And it’s not an either/or issue, for or against Comey. This shit is carrying us through the looking glass, and no one in Congress cares because the GOP is now MAGA. Or so scared of MAGA it’s a distinction without a difference.
ReplyDeleteI will confess that I think Trump is hoping to have sex with these lawyers and that's the primary attraction, though it's possible that that's all they can get to work for them, since so many of them have already lost their law licences doing Trump's bidding. What other use for Women can Trump imagine?
DeleteHe clearly hires them based on their appearance. It’s pretty obvious that’s his only criterion.
