shooting widows and orphans on State Street in broad daylight

It seems to me that if the bible doesn't say something in so many words, it doesn't say it.  The male pronoun doesn't cut anything for me.  If we, in these enlightened times can call a girl a third baseman, how can we insist that folks wandering around in the desert got their pronouns perfectly correct?

The holy ghost is nowhere in the bible because he wasn't invented until like the fourth century AD in one of those councils they held to hammer out how to get their story straight and decide who to persecute as heretics.  The old Jesus as a breath mint or a candy mint was raging and three was a lucky number so they tossed in the holy ghost and got the trinity.


On to politics.  There was a minor blip last week about  Jared Kushner paying no taxes and his defenders claimed he did nothing illegal, he was just obeying the law.  Well who wrote the laws whereby the rich skate on taxes?  Republicans who got into office by the donations of rich guys who wanted them to write bills so they could skate on taxes.  Just wanted to say that. 

This Khashoggi case is a variant of Trump's claim that he could shoot a man in broad daylight on Fifth Avenune and skate (kind of like that expression, skate).  Here we have a pal of his who had an enemy killed and cut into pieces, practically in plain sight and who will likely skate,  There is some cock and bull story about an accident during interrogation (an accident during interrogation like if one of those nasty dems who brutalized saintly Kavanaugh sneezed and the dagger in their suit coat pocket flew across the room and into the pure heart of the poor blameless victim, but that story has so far refused to grow legs.  A few noble reps in the senate, notably that squishy squealing Lindsey, have expressed their disdain at the bloody hands, but expect that to quickly fade in the face of Trumpian winds. 

And now the reps are discovering to their great shock that slashing taxes on the rich did not shrink the deficit, indeed it  is soaring like a hawk.  Actually it  always soars like a hawk under the reps (tea party hah, what a bunch of toothless ranting idiots), but this is more than they usually blow it up.  One solution would be to make the richie riches pay their share, but Ninja Mutant McConnell now wisely counsels let's take it from the entitlements, from the widows and orphans, after all there are so many of them and rep policies are making more every passing day.
