I may not be able to provide you with an accurate description of what ‘obscene’ looks like, but – in the words of Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart – “I know it when I see it.”

Elon Musk’s $1 TRILLION dollar pay package? Yeah, that’s effing obscene…

Meanwhile, Joe Six-pack struggles desperately. We have two fights currently going on here in this once-great nation: the GOP is working to kill Obamacare by taking away the premium subsidies so many Americans rely upon to make ends meet. If Obamacare, or the Affordable Care Act, ends, so do prohibitions against discrimination for preexisting conditions.

Look, the ACA isn’t great. It was, after all, conceived by conservatives as an alternative – a crappy, still-profitable alternative – to universal health care. But it’s better than, “Screw you, die.” Still, despite the fact that so many MAGA rely on those subsidies, they remain loyal.

THAT fight (over the ACA) led to a second fight, the funding of the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program, or SNAP. In order to pressure the Democrats into allowing the end of ACA subsidies, the GOP has opted to NOT help desperate Americans get their hands on some food. A court pointed out that, by law, they are required to help. They STILL said, “No.” MAGA is going without, but they remain loyal.

By the way, both of these fights put the lie to the slogan, “Richest Country On Earth™,” don’t they? Millions and millions of people here in “The Richest Country On Earth™” can’t see a doctor without financial help and millions of people can’t even eat without financial help. But Elon Musk gets a $1 trillion dollar pay package, and MAGA cheers.

As the First Speaker of the Doctrine of Universal Harmony, I can’t really blame rank and file MAGA for their moral collapse. After all, they were led to it by other people – people who consider morality nothing more than an impediment, an obstacle to be overcome on one’s way to fabulous wealth. I DO, however – I must – hold them at least partially responsible. After all, they did let it happen.

They didn’t bother to question actions that ran directly against everything they had been taught growing up. They may not know that the reference comes from Matthew, Chapter 7, verse 16, but they know, we all know, the phrase, “You will know them by their fruits.” It’s a common phrase in the lexicon. It means, “Watch what they do, ignore what they say.” Because people can SAY anything. But every harmful action the GOP commits and MAGA supports, qualifies as a “fruit,” what someone did.

Early on, MAGA was told that “spin” was just a lie – making it okay to lie in defense of one’s political talking points of the day. They didn’t know what spin actually was, so they believed it. They’ve been lying in defense of political talking points of the day ever since – and many of them don’t KNOW they’re “bearing false witness.” THEY think it’s just “spin.”

I can’t trace the entire decline, here. It has taken over forty years. It’s been a slow drip of a process. One cannot, overnight, get a normally moral person to kill, for example. That takes time. But MAGA media has put in the time and modern MAGA is there, now. They’ve been there since Covid-19, when they were convinced to fight science (coincidentally killing people) because it served a handful of rich people, politically. “Oh, grandma died because I went to a Covid party? No matter. At least my Precious didn’t look like he made a mistake.”

Does it strike anyone else as ironic that the two things so-called Christian Nationalists hate most is true religion and actual patriotism? So, as is common, I’m here to help. Today, MAGA supports and defends the physical embodiment of the seven deadly sins, Donald “Felon 47” Trump, and he actually embodies ALL of them: Pride, Envy, Gluttony, Lust, Avarice, Wrath, and Sloth. He’s heavy on the sloth. But those are attitudes, the kind of attitudes that lead to the crimes he has committed.

When he confessed on the Access Hollywood recording to groping women, many thought it was just talk, he was just bragging. Bragging is an action that results from the sin of Pride. When he was found responsible for groping E. Jean Carroll in the exact way he had described on the Access Hollywood recording, we knew he wasn’t just bragging. It’s Pride, but it’s also Lust. He commits sexual assaults against women because he believes he’s entitled to do so. I suspect there’s an element of Wrath in there, too, but MAGA stays loyal.

When he was convicted of cooking his business books to hide a tryst with a porn star that he engaged in while married to his third wife, that was Avarice. Greed. I suppose one of the problems with that list of sins is that people don’t know what ‘avarice’ is so it’s easy to overlook. Avarice is greed. MAGA stayed loyal.

But those were apparently gateway crimes. Now he has moved on – to murder. People are calling the murders “extrajudicial killings.” THAT is “spin.” They’ve offered an easy-to-digest name for the action, but these are murders, pure and simple. There’s no evidence those boats he’s blowing up are carrying drugs, but we know for certain, they’re carrying human beings. When two of those human beings were caught, they were simply “repatriated.” Sent home with no thought of a trial. There’s only ONE reason that might happen: no evidence. The “drugs” part is only a story. The “killings” part is very, very real, the fruit. So far, MAGA has stayed loyal.

They’re ignoring another phrase we’ve all heard, “If you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.” One cannot support an immoral act without becoming part of that immoral act. Silence is consent. MAGA doesn’t like being judged for their actions and I don’t blame them. It’s not like they’re being judged for heroic deeds. Actions speak louder than words and MAGA has been judged for their actions. They are currently being judged for their actions. They will be judged in the future for the actions.

There’s always an aspect of “We didn’t know” that must be considered. After all, often, they didn’t know. But they should have. At some point, they’ve all had the opportunity to look more deeply into things. They’ve all be encouraged by some “libtard” to review their information. They simply refuse. That’s not passive or accidental involvement. It a choice, a fruit. One can only hope that, sooner or later, MAGA realizes their actions – not their words – will always represent their true hearts, because the rest of the world knows them by those actions…
