Bids opened Monday for a contract to supply the state Department of Education with 55,000 Bibles. According to the bid documents, vendors must meet certain specifications: Bibles must be the King James Version; must contain the Old and New Testaments; must include copies of the Pledge of Allegiance, Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights; and must be bound in leather or leather-like material.
A salesperson at Mardel Christian & Education searched, and though they carry 2,900 Bibles, none fit the parameters.
But one Bible fits perfectly: Lee Greenwood’s God Bless the U.S.A. Bible, endorsed by former President Donald Trump and commonly referred to as the Trump Bible. They cost $60 each online, with Trump receiving fees for his endorsement.
For fuck’s sake in ten years we’re going to hear kids tell us the Constitution was given to us by Jesus.
There will be no Constitution
Oh no. It’s an important point of legitimacy to have one. It won’t be worth a damn though.
Wasn’t it George W. Bush that said, “… it’s just a god damn piece of paper?”
I’m sure he wasn’t the first. (Yeah I’m looking at you Andrew Jackson, we haven’t forgotten.)
