Vipers

 Well this is getting downright biblical, isn't it? In a secular sort of way 😉

Judas, for 30 pieces of silver, betrayed the Lord. Trumpers have betrayed the nation for the price of an egg.

I read today, or rather brought to mind what I had read many times before, something Jesus said: 

Either make the tree good and it's fruit good, or else make the tree bad and it's fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit.

You can't have it both ways. The trumpers desire, by selfish motive and base self-interest, to be considered good despite their plain lack of compassion and concern for others.

Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.

In other words, you reap what you sow. Sadly, we must all reap what you have sown.

It's not nothing. It was not just another election with one fair choice or the other. It does not come down to the price of eggs. It comes down to the pride of our nation, our place in the world, our commitment to one another. A far, far higher price has been and will continue to be exacted by the irresponsible and thoughtless actions of those who voted to install a felon, a sexual predator, a compulsive liar, an insurrectionist in our country's highest office.
