Woe to those [politicians] who make iniquitous decrees, who write oppressive statutes, to turn aside the needy from justice and to rob the poor of my people of their right, to make widows their spoil and to plunder orphans! What will [politicians] you do on the day of punishment, in the calamity that will come from far away? To whom will [politicians] you flee for help, and where will you leave your wealth…
— Isaiah 10:1-3 NRSV
Does this not describe Donald Trump, the Republican Party, and some Democrats?

Ahhhh Bruce, you touch on the lament of all man and women kind, for justice, among those whom have / had none.
The Christian / early Catholic church were not exactly unaware of what buttons to press for those not draped in purple robes, a gold crown on the head, drinking fine wine and enjoying a harem of 100’s, while the rest were working themselves to death building the palaces, gardens and statues of their oppressors.
Same tune, (different millennia), nothing has changed…………………
MAGAts take great pleasure in punishing others. It seems to give them a special thrill. Yet they’re the first to scream if they feel like they’ve been wronged by someone they consider not to be of their tribe.
Speaking of MAGA fanatics, they’re mad at Drumpf for not being willing to open those Epstein files, nor his old VP Pence is saying he should. I’m looking for video on the MAGA set burning their Chinese- made red caps and the other merch. Drumpf says he doesn’t want their support anymore. Who knew. He may turn it on them and throw them in prison like his secret police are doing in Florida and Ventura County.
