cult humor - If you wanted to see, you would not belong to a political party?

    My doctor did blood work on me yesterday and never saw blood like mine and called the CDC and Homeland Security, and I shape-shifted into a beautiful 30-year-old woman and walked out of there. Meanwhile, the problem with belonging to a cult is it is impossible to see what you most need to see: that you belong to a cult.

    In the wake of Donald The Thug's mug shot being strewn all over the news and social media...

BTW, according to faux news, Hunter is the main story

Not at all surprising and.. of course, not Germaine, If the Bidens are criminal, happy to convict, but doubt it.

Ken

I have an easy time believing that Hunter is a shady character. Not exactly news: Charlie Adams was a flaming dumpster of a presidential son, nobody blames John Adams for it.

Sloan Bashinsky

The problem is, how did Hunter end up making so much money without it being tied to his V.P. father, and then his President father? You think those foreign businesses would have anything to do with a sleaze addict like Hunter, if not for who his father was? Hello?

Rich

If this story is accurate, it is very disconcerting.

Hunter may not be the MAIN story, but this is certainly something that needs to be addressed.

The deflection of anything Hunter related “Because Trump”, is disingenuous, at best, and parochial politics which will enable all political elite to operate under a different set of laws than the average person.

Joe Biden's alias emails to son Hunter—Everything we know

Republicans on the House Oversight Committee are seeking unrestricted access to emails from President Joe Biden's time as vice president where he used a pseudonym.

Representative James Comer, chair of the committee, sent a letter to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) on Thursday seeking a number of documents including used pseudonyms including Robert Peters, Robin Ware, and JRB Ware.

The move comes amid House Republicans' ongoing probe into the business dealings of the president's son, Hunter Biden, and GOP allegations that the president was involved in those dealings.

"Joe Biden has stated there was 'an absolute wall' between his family's foreign business schemes and his duties as Vice President, but evidence reveals that access was wide open for his family's influence peddling," Comer said in a statement on Thursday.

House Republicans are seeking documents and emails from Biden's time as vice president.

The White House has repeatedly denied that Biden had any involvement in Hunter Biden's business affairs and Republicans have struggled to produce a "smoking gun" tying the president to any wrongdoing.

Newsweek has reached out to the White House via email for comment. 

 

Sloan Bashinsky

Rich, Agreed, and ...How many times have I heard Republicans ignore Trump and say, "What about Hunter?", when, if they had a clue what their Bibles are about, they would be dispensing with Trump for their own souls' sakes. 

Rich 

Sloan, I agree completely. I hope to see Trump convicted AND charges brought against ALL politicians and bureaucrats who use their positions of power to enrich themselves at the expense of the American public.

I’m quick to call out those that excuse illicit activity and dismiss that behavior because they identify with the actors political affiliation.

It seems a large number of Americans fit into that category.

Sloan Bashinsky

Rich, including the current president re his son. No way Hunter made all that money in Ukraine, if his father wasn’t Obama’s V. P.

Paul

So Sloan, did it hurt when you hit your head?

Rich

Paul, Rather than use juvenile ad hominem attacks, why not give your opinion on what Hunter qualifications were to be on Burisma’s board, why Joe was using alias private email accounts to communicate with Hunters and his business associates, and who “The Big Guy” is that Hunter keep promising foreign nationals that he could provide access to?

Your wanting to sweep all of that under the rug and deflect attention away from it simply because they’re part of the Democratic Party is every bit as repugnant as the MAGA’s defense of Trump.

What you’re doing is exactly what these political elite are counting on to leverage so that they can get away with things that the average American would be convicted and sentenced for.

Does that fact completely escape you?

Rich

Sloan Bashinsky

Rich, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to discuss anything about a cult with a member of the cult. The Republican and MAGA and Democrat Parties, Antifa, Proud Boys, QAnon really are no different from any other secular or religious cults.

I do not assume, and would be an idiot to assume, Trump and his cults are not using code. 

https://www.vice.com/.../qanon-trump-mugshot-arrest-twitter

QAnon Is Absolutely Melting Down Over Trump’s Mugshot and Return to Twitter

QAnon Is Absolutely Melting Down Over Trump’s Mugshot and Return to Twitter Trump's QAnon followers are convinced, again, that a “storm is coming.”

Paul

Piss off Rich. I’ll worry about Hunter when he takes a couple of billion from a Saudi Prince or when he sets up shop in the West Wing. Prosecute the hell out of him for all I care …..but the media attention this is drawing is intentional misdirection from far more significant crimes of the GOP.

Paul

Sloan Bashinsky by what measure are American Democrats a cult? They rarely agree on anything? 

Let me know when you actually identify a membership or organizational structure for Antifa. I’m anti-fascist as all hell, as are most sane humans.

Your “both sides narrative” is total BS.

Sloan

Paul, That's the problem. You have zero chance of straightening out the American right, but you might reach some of the American left, since you are one of them, but, like the American right, you keep pointing your finger across the aisle. The American right is convinced it represents God and Jesus in America, but it seems to keep forgetting that Jesus said to first take the beam out of their own eye. That applies to the American left, as well.

Paul

Sloan, funny, but I point my finger at a criminal organization when I see one. I was a partisan Republican until Bush invaded Iraq. The party has since abandoned any pretense of supporting representative democracy. There is no analogue on the left. Stop smoking your own exhaust.

Sloan Bashinsky

Paul, You are living proof that you only see the side you want to see. Trump is fond of Hitler. He likes Putin. He bows to and borrows from Saudis, and his cult lemmings could give a shit. I thought Trump and Hillary Clinton both should be locked up in 2016. I watched Barack Obama accept the Nobel Prize for Peace while he continued waging the Bush-Cheney wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. His cult cheered, instead of throwing up. I watched President Biden repeatedly give Hunter his confidence and support. I have been dealing with cults for a very long time. You belong to one. Otherwise, you would be calling for Hunter and his father to be thoroughly investigated by the CIA and the FBI and the US Department of Justice. I happen to be a lawyer who once clerked for a US District Judge who presided over every federal prosecution in North Alabama.

Paul

I changed parties because I only see what I want to see? You know how totally fucked up you sound?

Sloan Bashinsky

If you wanted to see, you would not belong to a political party?

Tell the truth about ETs and Donald The Thug Chris Christie got this Independent's vote, and how to screw the drug cartels and the Mafia and make Uncle Sam a whole lot of money, and what the Hindu Goddess Kali and a south Alabama lady poet think about how men and pigs in mud think

    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. 

Yesterday, Elizabeth posted at my Facebook page:

Empress

I want in on the Unicorn ticket. V.P. would look great on me. 

Feeling less priggish and more piggy today.

Me 

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

By Jeff Spry

   August 24, 2023

UAPs and UFOs were a high-flying topic in last night's heated political discussions.

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 Post

By Ryan King

August 23, 2023

Audience 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.

KARK.com 

August 23, 2023

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?

    Does the Thug clone candidate Vivek Ramaswamy ever wonder what his Hindu Goddess Kali thinks about him trying to be India's Bollywood Fantasy King, or perhaps Queen?

    Here's a Hindu artist's take on Kali standing on Shiva in front of a mob of angry half-naked women, showing the whole wide world what they think about how men think.

Rave Republican endorsement for my first act as president - release the ET files, which might cause Atlas to do more than shrug, and more piggish down to Earth shit shows

    Email this morning from a US Army Special Forces combat veteran amigo, who voted twice for Donald Trump and told me after the January 6, 2020 assault on the U.S. Capitol that all of the rioters should have been shot dead, and I could quote him.

Morning Mr. President,

I am 100% in support of your first act as Commander in Chief to be full release of the Government files on all things extraterrestrial, multidimensional or even ultra-terrestrial.  

That should cause a big enough firestorm to allow you to get to all the other stuff that needs to be done while everyone’s heads are spinning.

    I replied:

The conniving angels taught me to go for the most vulnerable obvious strike point, and releasing the ET files has to be it. I wonder how the ETs feel about that? Are they in agreement? Disagreement? Would they allow it? Would they beam me up and over to a penal colony on one of Jupiter's moons? 

In a dream the other night, a German shepherd was all over me smiing, wagging its tail, rubbing up against me. I figured that had to have something to do with you and the campaign. (My friend's last name is German.) 

 

No doubt total coincidence, this happened on Facebook shortly before I announced my first act as president.

Peggy  

When I was a teen, I read everything I could get my hands on by Robert Heinlein, like many of us of a certain age. In Stranger in a Strange Land, he made the point that 99% of humor is rooted in pain, specifically, the pain of others. As someone opined, “tragedy is when I get a hangnail; comedy is when you fall down a manhole and die.” Lately, I’ve been cogitating about the influence of alienation, another state most of us would consider negative, but is critically necessary to the creative arts. What would most literature be if the main character didn’t feel set apart/different? Song lyrics? Even the visual arts? They’d be boring, is what. Alienation is so much a part of the human condition that I’d say that coming to terms with it, either by fighting it or making one’s peace with it, is central to our development of self.

Sloan Bashinsky

Nicely said. I think every American high school student should be required to read Stranger in a Strange Land in order to graduate. A human Martian colonist sent back to Earth and a very advanced Martian species’ perspectives would jam every molecule of the highschoolers’ religious, cultural and political brainwashing.

Peggy

Funnily enough, the other seminal book I read several times in my teens was Atlas Shrugged. Nobody’s perfect!

Sloan Bashinsky

Dagny Taggart hurt my feelings when she dumped Reardon for Gault.

 

Peggy

I kinda liked Francisco. 

Sloan Bashinsky

I really liked Atlas Shrugged. I was put onto it by a law school buddy, who was in the US Marine reserve and was called up out of law school and sent to Vietnam, where he suffered a serious leg wound and was in that way saved and sent back to America and came back to law school with a limp. I bet Ayn Rand had some choice words for the Vietnam war, or at least some choice thoughts. I didn't read her other books. I read plenty of criticism of her thinking, but Atlas Shrugged was, in my opinion, a very nice parody. Today, America is so far deep down in the shitter that I doubt 1,000 John Gaults could help it. Nor could Jesus in the Gospels, if he were back. Probably, Christians would kill him.

Peggy

Sloan - I was deeply into her for a time and read most of her stuff, as well as an autobiography of her young lover, on whom Gault was supposedly based. I found Gault the character to be tedious. And the more I read about her, the more I found her to be a narcissistic hypocrite. Yuk

Sloan Bashinsky 

I thought Gault perhaps represented the Jesus Rand had rejected in her youth. I know nothing of her personal life, but I think Atlas Shrugged was a bit too on target for the conventional wisdom (brainwashed) folks. 

    Perhaps closer to Earth, this was posted on Facebook yesterday by south Alabama bayou country belle Elizabeth, aka Empress of Fantasia, aka Eliza.

Why do so many Christians follow the most un-christlike person on the planet? Explain it like I'm two years old.

Because Christianity is just idolatry, and its followers are always looking to someone else for guidance as long as it's someone who they feel the rest of the crowd is turning to.

Cause de ain't real Christians ? They would not want to try Buddha's Way...it's a 24 hour religion...you have to strive every moment of the day...and the reward ? A peaceful life..

I wonder if they will be asked that very question when their roll is called up yonder, and they holler, "Well, he wasn't as bad as his good friend Jerry Epstein, or his buddy Vladimir Putin, or his buddy Rocket Man in Korea, or the Saudi sheik he bowed to, who had a journalist sawed up in little pieces because of what he wrote about the Saudi sheik!"

 

 

Elizabeth
Sloan I despise whataboutism. 
 
Sloan Bashinsky
You mean like what happened in your church in the bayou country after a bunch holy roller MAGAs and their holy roller preacher got in bed with real estate developers - ya think they might be asked about that when their rolls are called up yonder? You won't be asked why you didn't raise bloody hell about them doing that, because you raised bloody hell about it, and they told you to go to hell, either directly or by pretending you didn't exist. Maybe they were zenning, but thought they were Jesus-ing? 
 
Elizabeth
Sloan may God's Grace cover them.   

 

Sloan Bashinsky
Yeah, and God's switches and ashes, too, to help round them out, else they come back in their next life and do it, or worse, all over again.
 
Elizabeth
I hope I'm getting better at this.

Sloan Bashinsky
At what part? Posting on FB that shreds their facades, or pouring God's grace on them? Hell, Empress, you wuz who wrote "Pigs In Mud". Where do you suppose it came from? Can it be pinned to people it fits?

“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. 
 
Elizabeth
I was just trying to deter my piggly ways.

Sloan Bashinsky
To quote Sleepy Joe, Eliza, here's the deal. Jesus in the Gospels said not to hide your lamp under a bushel. 
A guy named Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote THE COST OF DISCIPLESHIP, in which he spoke a great deal about "cheap grace". He has been quoted as saying, "Silence in the face of Evil itself is Evil, GOD will not hold us guiltless." He was part of a plot to kill Adolph Hitler, and he got caught and executed. In some Christian theology circles today, he is considered a giant among midgets.
When I ran all those many times for mayor of Key West and county commissioner for the Florida Keys, and once for school board, I never expected to come close to winning. I was the candidate who always said what needed to be said during candidate forums, media interviews, etc. I wasn't counting votes when I spoke. I was trying to keep God happy with me, since I thought it was God who had put me up to running for those offices. I was told a number of times that I might have gotten elected, if I had not said God told me to run. You probably remember all of that from reading afoolsworkneverends.blogspot.com, which has been dormant a couple of years. 
And, I suppose you might recall my talking in blog posts about The Resistance, which was citizens saying and writing what needed to be said and wrote, even if it didn't have a snowball's chance in hell of making one iota of difference. Jesus in the Gospels got himself nailed to a cross for what he said and did. 
The MAGAs in that church you left after they took it over probably would freak out if that same Jesus showed up in their midst and said and did what he did in the Gospels. They just might make a noose and hang him from a live oak tree right there in your south Alabama bayou. They might care less that Ivana Trump revealed that hubby Donald kept a book of Hitler's speeches in a cabinet on his side of their bed and sometimes he pulled it out at night and read it. Here's that book.

My republican in-laws named 2 different Dobermans after Nazis. I found this out some years after meeting them and by that time wasn't surprised.

Here's the Charlottesville demonstration that, from his response, laid Donald Trump bare as any Nazi got laid bare. 

 

Vito
Most societal systems are functioning inverted.
To the two year old: "they oppositted things and stupid people didn't question it."

John
Good old-fashioned American-style hoodwinking; his timing was just right, as enough white Americans had become unglued over a man of color being president, and he tapped that. The mystery is why they were such easy marks that they never caught on that he was a crook and a fool after he spent so much time proving it beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Sloan Bashinsky
John They knew what Trump was, it was in plain view. So, what does that say about them making him their Jesus? They understood, when Trump kept saying the 2020 presidential election was stolen, that he meant it was stolen by Blacks. I didn't vote for Obama, nor for any major party candidate before him. I voted for Biden very reluctantly, because I knew Trump was fond of Adolph Hitler, and he courted the white supremacists in America. Trump has eclipsed and displaced the Republican Party and its debates and FOX News. The Party of Lincoln is no more. It knows, if it doesn't accept Trump as its candidate, the Democrats will win the White House in 2024, and perhaps both sides of Congress. And God only knows what Republicans the US Department of Justice would go after then?
