The Devil can cite scripture to suit his purpose (indeed)

St. Cankles used the occasion of Rep. Elijah Cummings funeral to voice a not-so-veiled insult to Donald Trump.
“Like that Old Testament prophet, [Cummings] stood against corrupt leadership of King Ahab and Queen Jezebel.”
Hillary will be burning with envy and bitterness to her dying day. She would do well to recollect the effects of thwarted power on another figure in the Bible:
The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds' claws. (Daniel 4:33)

She described others as Ahab and Jezebel? Of all examples the one which reminds the rest of us of the Clintons? That's almost Bidenesque self-wounding.

Bette Davis played Jezebel, that's got me thinking, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?

St. Cankles has always been barking mad, but the mask stayed on until November 2016.

Bruce: Her total lack of self-awareness is astonishing.

Jeff: Now that it's off, it ain't goin' back on!

Melania as Jezebel? Gimme a break.

Trump gave Cummings a nice eulogy; along the lines of de mortuis nil nisi bonum est. He can act gracefully when he wants to. I haven't noticed any such behavior by members of the Jackass Party for at least a couple of decades.
