When is this Circus over?

I can only take so many clowns and freak shows at once, then it gets really old, boring and weird…

Who finds Trump appealing?

After 2 minutes of his ramblings, I need to mute my TV, leave the room or poke knitting needles in my ears…

WTF is wrong with this country?

I know it was founded on some shaky principles a long time ago, but really guys? This is where we’re at now?

Trump? Old school racism? Xenophobic scare tactics? Q-Anon conspiracy horsesh*t?

We’re really making America Great…🧐

Trouble is, half of the US is below average. They've been brought up to be couch potatoes, admiring others rather than improving themselves.

They love Trump because his behaviour gives them permission to be as gross and nasty as he is. (By the way, Ramen.)

You said it perfectly, my thoughts exactly. Yes, it is beyond belief these days, you can't make this s**t up. I've always had an inkling that there were some truly ignorant AHOLES in this country, but damn. I thought they were smarter than this S**T show of a candidate. Although they chose him before, I guess I shouldn't be too surprised? Except he's such a disaster, a nightmare, an evil and insane POS< I never really thought it would happen again. ONE MORE WEEK. God Help us all.

If only. Sadly the display of bigotry will only endear him to his supporters

Thinking exactly that--they have permission and encouragement now to be stupid and racist. When Nixon was running in 1968, I didn't like him, but his supporters weren't doing donuts in the streets in black pickup trucks with the damn flags, honking their horns. God, I sometimes wish You'd take me already, but whatever the result, I have to stick around to do Your work.

Because I’m pro women, I say AWOMB instead of AMEN.

Expand full comment

Amen was the God of ancient Egypt. The end of Egyptian prayers ended with the invoking of their God. The Jews carried a lot of Egyptian things with them. Circumcision was another thing done by ancient Egyptians because of possible infections from Nile waters. All that being said, AWOMB sounds good too.

I was just gifted an actual staff so let’s see if I can invoke the leviathan and turn my staff into a lemon lime python like the one Brittany Spears carried in one of her performances. That would be the best I would Nick name him Mellow Yellow cause I don’t want my snake to be mean just super chill.

Very good, sister. I too am a Pagan, but I hope an enlightened one.

What’s your favorite spell?

Expand full comment

That would depend on the need and my mood. In essence, a spell is a prayer. Sometimes the answer is "Yes", and sometimes the answer is "No". I am a hereditary "witch" that also reads the Tarot.

My favorite thing I made at my small vendor business was my magic soap. All my soaps people testified that they worked. Lose 10 lbs, love spell, clean aura, protection. 5 stars, I’m real.

Well, of course they're chill! :D They are cold-blooded (poikilotherms)... :D

Yeah, getting schistosomiasis THERE wouldn't be fun, I imagine... :-/

Judging by the Egyptian wall art I've seen, though, the boys gettin' 'er done were way older than newborn babies (I think it was included in the rites of young adulthood or something?)... :-/

And I think the Hebrew was "omayn" or something similar, but according to Study.com, the word we spell in the Latin alphabet we use as "Amen" nowadays was (possibly/probably derived from the Egyptians, I wouldn't wonder) a Semitic word meaning "truth, reliability, and trustworthiness."

So it sounds like it was tweaked by the monotheistic folks from their shared experiences. A-whatever-works! :D

A Turkish student some decades ago astonished us one day by bringing a photo to school… of his brother (probably 10 years old, or so) lying on a bed mostly covered in a green surgical cloth with a hole in it, about to be circumcised in front of a roomful of (male) relatives and friends. Apparently that was how they did it. Around puberty. In semi-public.

Inglorious Basterds is probably one of my favorite movies. That scene at the end, in the movie theater?! *chef kiss* Beautiful! (My friends call it Jew Porn and that’s such a perfect name!)

I need to find this movie on Prime or somewhere since I still haven't seen it. I'm sure I'd enjoy it!

Expand full comment

Wowz, I had forgotten that swastika carving scene! (Inglorious Basterds is such a treat!) Maybe I was acting on it subconsciously when I carved my Halloween trumpkin , because that's how I started it.

AMEN!!! This pathetic NAZI style rally was to just "Stick It" in the heart of a place THAT HATES EVERYTHING ABOUT TRUMP! There is NO DOUBT that DonOLD von SHITSINPANTS knew EXACTLY what that comedian was going to say, and he APPROVED IT! Nazis used to do the same things. Trump only wants his income low-class MAGAs for a day, just to get him into power. After that, his ONLY friends will be rich and white! Make no mistake in thought; to elect this moron is to bring on WW-3 and civil war here. He will suspend aid to Ukraine and pull out of NATO. THAST WILL TRIGGER WORLD WAR! EUROPE WON'T BACK DOWN TO PUTIN! That will also trigger civil war here to remove Trump, Musk, Vance and Johnson! There is also no doubt that DonOLD von SHITSINPANTS IS THE ANTI-CHRIST FOR THIS AGE! Nostradamus predicted, The Son of the Lion (Napoleon), Histler (Hitler) and now The Trumpeter (Trump). IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE NEED TO BEND TO HIM OR HIS RATS! VOTE LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON THE OUTCOME, BECAUSE IT DOES!

Let's keep in mind that it is not likely that Mike Johnson will be Speaker of the House on January 6. His term ends January 3 and hopefully a democrat will be the new SOH.

Would that be the current Minority Leader (Hakeem Jeffries), or would we have to vote in a new one? :-/ (groan)

I'm still trying to understand how Ivanka, Jared, and the grandkids have anything at all to do with him considering they are Jewish. What a screwed up family they all are...

"Oh, that's okay; he won't do anything bad to US..."

What if he wants Ivanka to be a traumatized widow, who'd just naturally run to Daddy Dearest for comfort? :(

Amen liked the comparison!

Also one of the fascist speakers is a big donator and supporter of the cult of Scientology—Grant Cardone

Mike Johnson doesn’t have the spine for an insurrection or an erection unless it’s in his mouth.

You can tell God was angry when he typed this because of the spelling errors 😆

I read that Philly has the second largest population of Puerto Ricans in the U.S. behind NYC. I am liking the Trump swing state plan. Ukrainians big in PA also. This guy is supposed to be a leader and strategist for the U.S. in a dangerous world? WTF?

He's about as much of a leader as the Bohemian was in the waining days of WWII. Desperate to win at any cost and willfully ignorant of the cost.
