Would it be too much to have everyone just keep calling him Judas to get under his skin?

That isn't a fair comparison.

Judas got paid 30 silver pieces which was probally tyrian sheckels which would be around 355.32 dollars in todays money. Pence gets paid more in a single hours worth of speaking fees. From a fincial point of view Pence got a lot more then 30 chunks of silver.

At the end of the day Pence is just a lot better with money then Judas ever was.

Mind you, Judas probably needed that money far more than Pence does; as I doubt the former had anything approaching the latter's net worth.

Eh, more buying power than that, though. Jesus parables make it pretty clear a silver piece was a day's wages for a worker, such as his parable of the vineyard workers. So Judas' payout in terms of money in those days would be about a month's wage for a working stiff.

Threadtax: The internet's burning up after AOC revealed that she finally visited her Grandma, who's sick and been living in squalor since 2017. Naturally, having discovered this, AOC immediately decided it was Trump's fault.



Some people have noted that AOC has a six-figure salary (before bribes from lobbyists), wears only designer clothes, and drives an expensive Tesla car, and thus might be expected to have the cash to actually throw a few bucks down rather than let granny live in squalor for several years. However, she's firm for her beliefs that the cost of granny's house needs to be subsidized by the rest of the country, not her.

Fortunately, a gofundme has been started for AOC's Abuela, since AOC is too cheap to throw down the 300 or so dollars it would cost to fix a ceiling in Puerto Rico.

Update on the AOC's Abuela situation, "Somebody" has called them and told them their money will not be accepted, so the cash is going back to the donors.



The Media is also spinning giving money to the poor as a personal attack on AOC. And I can't say that's entirely wrong, it certainly made her look bad, but AOC kinda clowned herself in this situation by claiming she'd allowed her Grandma's house to fall into ruin for years in order to get a single dig at Trump in.

I mean, how dare they try to do something for someone who's own politically connected and well-off granddaughter wasn't helping after she was brought up for some stupid political points against someone who isn't in office? The nerve of some people!

These people are sociopaths; they don't care one iota that an elderly woman is suffering, all they care about is that their tribe lost face.

Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.
