Prodigal Son Kicked Back Out After Old Tweets Surface

ISRAEL—There was a certain man who had two sons, and the younger son demanded his inheritance and then wasted it all in a distant country. When the son came crawling back, begging for forgiveness, the father made a huge celebration to mark the return of his prodigal son.

But that celebration was cut short when old tweets the younger son had written surfaced, some of which were characterized as racist.

Though the son apologized for those tweets as well, he was immediately kicked out of the house. “He was dead and is alive again,” the father said, “but is now dead again, because he is garbage."

Somebody posted this earlier. I know it’s satire, but when I read it, I assumed it was about Joe Biden, and his two sons. Nobody else has mentioned this in any of their comments, and am wondering if I’m mistaken in my assumption.

It’s effectively about lots of people who were young and stupid on Twitter, the latest being that Carson dude in Iowa.

Never heard of him, and now I know why I misunderstood the story. I don’t do Twitter...Facebook, or any of them.

I like how the older son dug up the tweets. In the real verses he was jealous of the younger - in the satire version he takes action!

I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed that.
