Let’s see if you can find some direct modern application to Marco Rubio’s verse of the day, something he and others of his ilk might be able to put to use right now. Think hard.

Yes, he really did send this out.

They served their idols and were ensnared by them. They sacrificed to demons their own sons and daughters, Shedding innocent blood,
the blood of their own sons and daughters

Psalms 106:36-38

— Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) February 15, 2020

“Served their idols and ensnared by them?” You mean like pledging your loyalty to a ruthless dictator to the point that when you actually had an opportunity to remove him, you were too ensnared by him (blackmail?) and his base to vote against him?

Moreover, don’t doubt that Trump is still on the look out for his war, he might bumble into it by accident. Surely in a second term he will flex his muscle and might. What good is being a dictator if you can’t fight a war in your name?

The poor white are over represented in the military, Florida, and in the MAGA cult. If blood is to be shed in service of the false idol, it will be theirs.

Oh, the internet woke early on a Sunday to let Marco have it. The obviousness made the responses near immediate, unanimous and biting:

This almost reads like a confession there, Little Marco. You've been ensnared by a very VERY evil idol and are sacrificing ALL of our sons and daughters.

You're not playing on God's team, no matter what ridiculous lies you tell yourself.

Your entire party sold their souls.

Sent by a particularly appropriate name, and also indicative of the stakes at play with Donald Trump as president.

To return to a theme we visited last night, the cult of Trump, a wonderful response to Marco:

We could take a particularly cynical take on Marco’s motivation for posting this tweet, it might be the most appropriate, too:

Somebody is trying to get to heaven after endorsing Satan for pres.

We should probably not post this one because … ah what the hell, it truly does expose what Marco has done in worshiping the most false of the false idols:

Since it is Sunday, we’re going to conclude with a couple of verses with wonderful applicability from which we can all learn, including Marco. So here is the Sunday morning church message from Flare:

Here’s two back at you.

They profess to know God,but they deny him by their works. They are detestable,disobedient,unfit for any good work.”
1 Peter 2:21 ESV

But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret.
Matthew 6:6 ESV

— Yes! Dogs Are (@FinerThanPeople) February 16, 2020

That sounds about right.

Good Sunday morning, Flares. We’ll be with you all day with the good, the very bad, and instead of ugly, maybe we’ll make an effort at bringing you something pretty, and vacuous, and entitled and … (I’m sure Ivanka will be along any minute).

****

Peace, y’all

Jason
