TWGB: Burning of Babylon

The whore of Babylon. You see, I take this personally. The Rod of Iron Ministries is a cult that descends from Reverend Moon, and loves guns, and I guess loves Trump? But where you see "Whore of Babylon" here--see also "Jezebel Spirit" elsewhere--like in the church of Lance Wallnau where weasel-human hybrid JD Vance briefly rallied. Where people spoke from the pulpit to proclaim Kamala Harris was using witchcraft to appear to be a competent leader. 

What if, though, female humans had the same entire mental capacity for leadership? Like Deborah and Judith? They could be intelligent and accomplished. They were better than the men around them. You say "any prophet" and I say Rahab. 

And the walls came tumbling down--very selectively. So much for your "Jericho marches". 

I have spoken of how I think "Fight Fight Fight" is just a desire to see carnage acted out by a deranged mind. But many people following Trump seem to be self-deranging. And are looking at him as a kind of Messiah figure. The casino bankrupt pussy-grabbing guy. Like his redemption redeems something else. 

Eric Greitens is a Sociopath, and Sociopaths Should Not be in Office

 

None of us are brand-new here, so Eric Greitens' game of doing a big shooty-shoot ad is definitely for the signifying: he gets to get free media because it will be covered extensively, he gets CANCELLED BY THE SOCIAL MEDIA because there is a disclaimer on his post now, and he gets to turn around with a shit-eating grin and say "Aw shucks folks, why are you so heated? Can't you grasp a metaphor?" 

Which is good for him and all, except that he actually is a sociopath. Like, the documentation on this guy being a person who should not have custody of guns, kids, or like a whole state is very out there. He literally bound a woman up in a basement and took blackmail porn of her. He had to vacate the office of the Governor of the state he is now trying to run for US Senate in. He allegedly beat his wife and children. But there is just so much more to the Eric Greitens story. 

If other people want to play this game, hey. it's free speech, even if it's a bit despicable to encourage violence. Especially in today's climate, when elected officials are receiving death threats and paying for increased security. If you are Eric Greitens and people know you are a shabby person with violent tendencies, wow. great job highlighting that. Except we've gone through the looking glass on the right, haven't we? Encouraging violence isn't the bugbear it used to be in the olden days. And even being an admitted domestic violence practitioner doesn't seem to be a barrier to one's poll numbers.  

And apparently, a certain type of woman has no problem backing him. A low-quality sort who associates with obviously deranged people, you might say.

Sociopaths Shouldn't Be in Government 2: Ted Cruz

Really? Not even private companies protecting their employees, customers and assets? No mandates because it's somehow discrimatory against special assholes who think their FaceBook PhD's in Advanced Bullshit Studies overrides what people who do public health for a living recommend? The cynical signifying to not be outdone by Governor DeathSentence, who seems to be employing a kind of "disaster capitalism" shock and awe to probably end public schools as we know them in Florida by the nasty look of things, or Cruz's own Governor Abbot, who is asking people to put off elective surgeries because he won't allow mandates for masks or vaccines, and is soliciting aid from health care workers in other states is dense with clown shoe obviousness, because it's Ted Cruz: Clown Shoes.

It feels like a race to the bottom of humanity, to see who can show the least empathy or good sense. 

Just like I cite "Galt's Glitch" as the obverse of the "Galt's Gulch" coin--the reality of libertarian freedom without responsibility is a positive feedback system for selfishness and destructive behavior, the obverse of the derision of Goo-goos or so-called "virtue signaling" is shitty government and "vice signaling"--being goddamn proud of unnecessarily horrific policies. It's how you get Gitmos and Abu Ghraibs and apparently, it's how you get mass Covid-19 deaths. 

Because not wanting them makes you a pussy. Don't let Ted Cruz's face merkin fool you, he definitely wants you to believe he is not a pussy, and his ugly wife and JFK-assassin dad would definitely back him up on that. 

You have to break eggs is all. You might not even be a big omelet enthusiast, but fuck those chickens. 

Am I calling Ted Cruz a sociopath based on his cynical pronouncements? Yeah. He's determined that his party has set no limit on acceptable numbers of bodies of actual human beings to step over and he's okay with building a Jacob's ladder of them. 

Only that ladder doesn't ascend, does it? It shouldn't. 

Senator AquaBuddha Visits Galt's Glitch

 

Rand Paul today: “It’s time for us to resist. They can’t arrest all of us .. No one should follow the CDC.” He then says he will introduce amendments to defund any govt agency that seeks to enforce CDC guidelines, including schools. pic.twitter.com/PYOQtKDYBN

"They can't arrest all of us", but they definitely won't be arresting Rand Paul, because his shiny, likely  vaccinated ass isn't going to do anything putting himself sideways anywhere. He's encouraging dumbfucks that he is pretty certain love to be told they are wearing very special consequence-proof libertarian armor, because freedom, mom's apple pie, and the Sekret Lemon Juice Writing on the Real (TM) Constitution that you can only see when you set that bitch on fire. It's your thing--do what you want to do! Rand Paul, however, is definitely going to tell you who to sock it to, though. The CDC, The Man, and based on his regular sparring with Dr. Fauci, you know....competent medical professionals and people who actually understand what public service actually means.

Rand Paul has a peculiar idea of service--he's agin' it. Like, why are people with needs occasionally looking to people with means to accomplish those ends? (Or as we call it, a functioning society.)  Why listen to people who know what they are talking about when idiots can have opinions, too?
