№ 417.1: EXTRA! Go Fry An Amalekite? (or playing the ultimate trump card)


In one story reported in [Bob Woodward's new book] Fear, defense secretary James Mattis ignores an order from Trump to assassinate the president of Syria, Bashar al-Assad, after his regime uses chemical weapons against civilians.

Must I remind you
what Samuel said
about the Amalekites,
“God wants 'em dead!”*?

Fuck “Mr. President”!
Call me Yahweh instead.

*Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass. 1 Samuel 15:3, KJV
