The original Greek actually says:

3“Blessed are the strong,for theirs is the kingdom of earth.4Blessed are those who cheer,for they will be applauded.5Blessed are the those with hubris,for they will inherit the earth.6Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for riches,for they will be filled.7Blessed are the ruthless,for they will be shown Ruth.8Blessed are the pure in ideology,for they will see political correctness.9Blessed are the widget-makers,for they will be called employers.10Blessed are those who persecute because of righteousness,for theirs is the kingdom of South Carolina .
Verily, I say, suck it libtards
Oh ye people of little money, stop being so lazy
For my father, who art in Trump Tower, hallow be his heart
For the Pharisee and the climatologist drown out the cry of the energy-poor widow and the orphan
with the sounds of their own hot air
Their science, though sound may be, workable solutions have none for thee
Shall we work together?
God forbid!

President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Republican National Committee communications director Sean Spicer to serve as White House press secretary, Trump's transition team announced Thursday.

At the same time, the transition team announced that Trump campaign press secretary Hope Hicks will become director of strategic communications, Jason Miller, a top spokesperson on Trump's presidential campaign, will be director of communications, and Trump social media guru Dan Scavino will be director of social media.

"Sean, Hope, Jason and Dan have been key members of my team during the campaign and transition. I am excited they will be leading the team that will communicate my agenda that will Make America Great Again," Trump said in a statement.

Shouldn't it have been a bigger deal that for the first time a FEMALE campaign manager won a Presidential race?

(If the argument is, "campaign managers don't matter," then why all the stories about campaign managers getting fired?)

While campaign donors are often tapped to fill comfy diplomatic posts across the globe, the extent to which donors are stocking Trump’s administration is unparalleled in modern presidential history, due in part to the Supreme Court decisions that loosened restrictions on campaign contributions, according to three longtime campaign experts.

The access and appointments are especially striking given Trump’s regular boasting during his campaign that his personal fortune and largely self-funded presidential bid meant that he would not be beholden to big donors, as many of his rivals would.


“If the people who are counseling the president-elect are the donor class — who, as Trump told us, give because they want something in return, those are his words — you will not get the policies his voters were hoping for,” said Trevor Potter, an election lawyer who advised John McCain’s 2000 and 2008 presidential campaigns and founded the Campaign Legal Center.

“The risk here is disillusionment by the voters who voted for change and are going to end up with a plutocracy,” Potter said.

Not to be overly cynical, but politicians tend to get more mileage from grandstanding than common sense.

Of course, there are a few who grandstand publicly and are pragmatic behind the curtains.
