    It’s got a lot of good stuff. Like, “the worker deserves their wages”, no wait let’s throw that out, and “take care of the poor & needy”, no let’s ditch that too, and “your breasts are fiiiiine gurl”, no wait let’s never read that out loud ever, anywhere.

    My favorite is “be skeptical - test everything”, oh no wait no let’s redact that too… (I just realized how that doesn’t mesh with the most important verse of all: “just do whatever we tell you, no questions asked, capiche?”)

    The hilarious part is not that they are reading the Bible - it is that they are not! Likewise for the Constitution that they showed up on January 6th to “defend”.

      “Of course we read the Constitution! It says “we the people”! Well, we’re people, and everyone else isn’t! Just like God intended!”

        “Well-regulated militia” - oh wait no, forget that part, it’s impossible to allow any kind of regulation at all.

        “You can impeach someone for criminal offenses” - oh wait no let’s ditch that one too…

        No wait, I want it back again!

        I also want back the 3/5ths of a person thing, but let’s expand that to also include anyone with a college degree or lives in a city, suburb, or even those in rural areas who don’t support their local Republican church strongly enough.

        “One rule for me, while the polar opposite rule for thee” - it’s not hard to understand in the slightest. We all played these games as toddlers, the difference being that some of us allowed ourselves to grow up. :-|
