Having it both ways

Aww, how very dear of our governor to say she will give her pay raise to charity. Let’s hope she doesn’t take a page from the Trump Playbook and says she’s going to give it away and then doesn’t, as her mentor, the Bible scholar Donald Jehoshaphat Trump said about his salary.

Perhaps Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount in Matthew, Chapter 6, was expunged from the curriculum of your Sunday School classes, Sarah: “But when you give to the poor, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.” Not a thing was said about heralding one’s beneficence on social media.

Either thump the Bible and do what it says, or quit with the thumping is what I say. You can’t have it both ways. Or you can, I guess.
