Raised within a grift. Never having been encouraged to think outside the grift. Essentially, they are part of the Borg. I’d feel sorry for them if they weren’t so completely dangerous to anything that isn’t them.

Not sure of the current status of her work but books by archaeologist Marija Gimbutas argued that European prehistory was characterized by matriarchy and religious worship of a goddess.

Obligatory doesn’t mean anything, get out and vote as your rights depend on it.

Not hated exactly, but there will be knowledge that they weren’t wanted. They will blame themselves as kids tend to do. Trauma ensues. What a fucking unnecessary tragedy.

How many liberal tears in a banana? For scale purposes of course.

A severe narcissist like him can only represent his own perspective. Outside perspectives don’t exist. From his perspective that was a day when the audience loved him and did what he wanted them to do.

Thanks for the opening. “Morons!”

It is said by the Eldar that in fast food restaurants there lives yet the echo of the Cheeseburger of the Ainur more than in any substance that is in this Earth; and many of the Children of Ilúvatar hearken still unsated to the ads on the Television, and yet know not for what they hunger.

Didn’t the corrupt supreme court just take away Chevron Deference? This needed rule will be disqualified by the captured courts.

Thank you!

That’s the way to get other good dogs killed.

He is really unable to accurately represent any perspective other than his own, the poster boy for malignant narcissism.

George Will is a conservative commentator whose name is familiar to us olds. He used to write in Newsweek when it was a prominent magazine back in the day and was on TV. I imagine he is a never-trumper so what is surprising here is not that he would refuse to vote but that he will vote for Harris. That can only mean that the old guard conservatives recognize trump as an existential threat to the country which he is.

Yeah, me either. I made a mistake. I meant “far right”. I’ll edit it to fix.

It’s the strangest thing when people who were targets of Nazi persecution become Nazis themselves (Loomer is Jewish). But then again, it also seems to be a feature of far right personality organization to behave this way. Like Roy Cohn (Trump’s long ago attorney/mentor) was gay but denied it including when he died from AIDS. Some kind of self-hatred and projection combined. As though ones sins could be pushed off onto something other which can be persecuted as a scapegoat, which as I think about it is a well known narcissistic family dynamic. In any event, it’s Weird!

Endeavour is really good

I don’t really care, do you?

Others said it first, but Firecracker from The Boys.

When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled. Yes, brave Sir Donald turned about And gallantly, he chickened out. Bravely taking to his feet, He beat a very brave retreat, Bravest of the brave, Sir Donald.

It’s the same picture.
