Once upon a time, south Alabama bayou belle Elizabeth, aka The Empress of Fantasia, gobsmacked me with one of her poems, which I felt deserved an Oscar, or at least a Pulitzer, and was required to be read at the beginning of any political candidate debate.
“Pigs in mud”
All want the security of the well fed pig.Horror at the baseness unrecognized.A lifetime spent in shirt stuffing.And pen comparison.Is truth more palatable when honeyed?Is a stark soulscape less so with the eyes of Monet?
May my affectations always be understood.
EmpressI want in on the Unicorn ticket. V.P. would look great on me.Feeling less priggish and more piggy today.

Besides spreading joy to all pigs in mud and those who can fly, what is something you, as V.P., think needs a new approach already hidden in plain view? For example, decriminalize and tax the shit outta illegal street drugs, like is done to the hugely popular legal street drugs booze and tobacco 😎. I wonder how the cartels and the Mafia would cotton to that? Would you need beefed up round the cock Secret Service protection?😎 Or would you just weave a protective spell that accidentally causes the cartels and the Mafia to feel they have been made an offer by God that they simply can't refuse, and they order everyone they know to vote the Unicorn ticket, regardless of where they live, if they know what's good for them.😎
Meanwhile ...
Kudos to to former New Jersey Governor, federal prosecutor, and Donald The Thug supporter Chris Christie, for saying during the Republican presidential candidate debate, sans The Thug, that the American public needs to know the truth about UFOs and The Thug. In that universe, Christie got this Independent's vote 😎.

'I get the UFO question?' New Jersey's Chris Christie promises honesty on aliens in 1st Republican presidential debate
Chris Christie, former governor of New Jersey and 2024 Republican presidential candidate, during the Republican primary presidential debate hosted by Fox News in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, US, on Wednesday, Aug. 23, 2023. (Image credit: Al Drago/Bloomberg via Getty Images)One of the last things you'd expect with stuffy politicians facing off in the first Republican Presidential Primary Debate is a discussion on the controversial subject of UFOs, or unidentified anomalous phenomena as they're now known, but that's exactly what happened last night.
The awkward moment in the debate in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Wednesday night (Aug. 23) featuring eight potential presidential candidates came when moderator Martha MacCallum took aim at former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie to ask his opinion about a president's responsibility to provide the American public with the truth about the UFO topic.
"I get the UFO question?" Christie responded with a smile. Christie was a good sport about the unexpected topic that was specifically lobbed at him, being queried on his own thoughts regarding transparency with the country concerning unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) in the wake of intriguing congressional hearings on the subject this past July.
"The job of the president of the United States is to level with the American people about everything. The job of the president of the United States is to stand for truth," Christie replied.
"Especially coming from a woman from New Jersey, I think it's horrible that just because I'm from New Jersey, you asked me about unidentified flying objects and Martians. We're different but we're not that different."
This New Jersey connection is in reference to Orson Welles' infamous Mercury Theatre radio broadcast of H.G. Wells' "War of the Worlds" back on October 30, 1938 when a panicking public believed that hostile Martian tripod machines were actually rampaging around the countryside near Grovers Mill, New Jersey.
The subject of UFOs or UAP has taken center stage in Washington, D.C. recently as federal agencies and even the Department of Defense have begun making public statements that seem to indicate pilots and other military personnel have been encountering anomalous objects that display advanced capabilities with increasing frequency.
The Department of Defense (DOD) even created an office known as the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office(AARO) in order to detect and identify UAP in American airspace.
Despite cataloging hundreds of reports, the head of the office told members of the United States Senate Committee on Armed Services in April 2023 that AARO "has found no credible evidence thus far of extraterrestrial activity, off-world technology or objects that defy the known laws of physics."
Then, in July, a U.S. military and intelligence community veteran told a Congressional subcommittee that the American government is hiding a "multi-decade UAP crash retrieval and reverse-engineering program" and is in possession of "non-human spacecraft."

Christie was showered with boos by the audience for his comments about The Thug:
New York PostBy Ryan KingAugust 23, 2023Audience members jeered former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie when Fox News introduced him and the other seven candidates by name at Wednesday’s Republican primary debate — and again as he clashed with Vivek Ramaswamy early in the proceedings.
Christie has distinguished himself from his peers by positioning himself as an unapologetic critic of former President Donald Trump, which has alienated some corners of the party who remember his staunch endorsement of the former president in 2016.
The former Garden State governor seemed unmoved by the hostility.
“Here is the bottom line. Someone’s got to stop normalizing this conduct,” Christie said at the top of the debate’s second hour when asked about the criminal cases against Trump. “Whether or not you believe the criminal charges are right or wrong, the conduct is beneath the office of president of the United States.”
After another chorus of boos, the former federal prosecutor addressed the crowd directly.
“This is the great thing about this country,” he said. “Booing is allowed, but it doesn’t change the truth.”
At that point, the biotech entrepreneur spoke up.
“President Trump, I believe, was the best president of the 21st century,” said Ramaswamy, who suggested Christie was running for a contributor spot on MSNBC rather than for president. “Honest to God, your claim that Donald Trump is motivated by vengeance and grievance would be a lot more credible if your entire campaign were not based on vengeance and grievance against [him].”
From Wikipedia:
Christopher James Christie (born September 6, 1962) is an American politician, lawyer, and former federal prosecutor who served as the 55th governor of New Jersey from 2010 to 2018. A member of the Republican Party, he was the United States Attorney for New Jersey from 2002 to 2008. He is a candidate for President of the United States in the 2024 Republican primaries.
Born in Newark, New Jersey, Christie was raised in Livingston, New Jersey. After graduating in 1984 from the University of Delaware, he earned a J.D. at Seton Hall University School of Law. Christie was elected as a county freeholder (legislator) for Morris County, New Jersey, serving from 1995 to 1998. He worked for the campaigns of Presidents George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush; the latter appointed him U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, a position he held from January 2002 to December 2008. During his tenure, he oversaw the convictions of 130 public officials from both local and state levels.
Christie won the 2009 Republican primary for Governor of New Jerseyand defeated Democratic incumbent Jon Corzine in the general election. In his first term, he was credited with cutting spending, capping property tax growth and engaging in recovery efforts after Hurricane Sandy. He was re-elected by a wide margin in 2013, defeating State Senate Majority Leader Barbara Buono.[1] Christie's second term saw multiple controversies, namely the Fort Lee lane closure and his various absences from the state.[2][3] He chaired the Republican Governors Association during the 2014 campaign. On June 30, 2015, he announced his candidacy for the Republican nominationin the 2016 presidential election, but he suspended his candidacy six months later following a poor showing in the New Hampshire primary. Later, he endorsed eventual winner Donald Trump and was named head of Trump's transition planning team.[4] His term as governor expired in 2018 and he registered as a lobbyist in 2020.[5]
Christie was a close ally of Trump during his presidency, but later emerged as a harsh critic of Trump following Trump's refusal to accept his loss in the 2020 United States presidential election and the subsequent January 6 Capitol attack.[6][7][8][9] On June 6, 2023, he announced his second presidential campaign for the Republican nomination in the 2024 presidential election.[8]
Former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson seems to be a flaming anti-abortionist, but he also seems to be grown up and awoken about Trump and the Mexican border invasion, but he doesn't seem to have figured out how to get Mexico involved in stopping the invasion, by banning Americans and their dollars and America's airlines from going Mexico until Mexico stops the invasion.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Former Arkansas governor and presidential candidate Asa Hutchinson took to the debate stage in Milwaukee Wednesday night.
Hutchinson faced off against seven other candidates during the debate, covering topics like abortion, the economy, education and even former President Donald Trump.
“It is a most important issue for women, and for the unborn child, and for our country that we get this right,” Hutchinson stated. “Let’s talk about it in terms of compassion, in terms of protecting the life and also, understanding how we have to enhance adoption services, how we have to enhance maternal care.”
On crime, Hutchinson said the focus is on fentanyl trafficking and establishing a respect for the justice system.
“We have to have respect for our justice system and the rule of law and it starts at the top, with the president of the United States,” Hutchinson said.After the candidates were asked if they would support the absent Trump as the party’s nominee even if he were convicted, Hutchinson was adamant in his stance against the former president, saying he was “morally disqualified” from being president again.
“Obviously I’m not going to support somebody who’s been convicted of a serious felony or who is disqualified under our constitution,” Hutchinson stated.
When the debate turned to the topic of cartels, Hutchinson said key strategies in dealing with them as president would be bringing in the Mexican government and securing the border.
“We cannot be successful against the cartel unless we bring in Mexico as a partner,” Hutchinson said. “The rule of law matters on both sides of it.”
Meanwhile, I wonder if FOX, Christie, Hutchinson, and the other Republican wannabe pigs in mud understood just how much free publicity and votes and money donations the debate generated for The Thug?
