Golden Idle

This past weekend at the annual CPAC conference (a terrifying gathering of ultra-conservative assholes), the focus was on one donald j. trump, who threatened, er, I mean announced he's going to run for president again in 2024. Jesus wept.

Predictably, his cult of sycophants ate up his rambling, incoherent speech. But the highlight of the conference was when they wheeled out a large gold statue of trump— one that was inexplicably wearing board shorts, sandals and brandishing a magic wand. What the hell?

His supporters couldn't stay away from the thing, as they were lining up to have their pictures taken with it. You might even say they were worshipping it.

Hmm... this seems familiar. Isn't there a story somewhere warning against that? In some ancient book that's supposedly important to religious conservatives?

Jesus Christ, I'm an atheist and I know their goddamned instruction book better than these so-called Christians do!
