With Apologies To Sodom and Gomorrah (American Revelation XIII, Two.)

Joe: For the last time, I'm pretty sure what's killing the crops is this Brawndo stuff.
Secretary of State: But Brawndo's got what plants crave. It's got electrolytes.
Attorney General: "So wait a minute. What you're saying is that you want us to put water on the crops.
Joe: Yes.
Attorney General: Water. Like out the toilet?
Joe: Well, I mean, it doesn't have to be out of the toilet, but, yeah, that's the idea.
Secretary of State: But Brawndo's got what plants crave.
Attorney General: It's got electrolytes.
Joe: Okay, look. The plants aren't growing, so I'm pretty sure that the Brawndo's not working. Now, I'm no botanist, but I do know that if you put water on plants, they grow.
Secretary of Energy: Well, I've never seen no plants grow out of no toilet.
Secretary of State: Hey, that's good. You sure you ain't the smartest guy in the world?
Joe: Okay, look. You want to solve this problem. I want to get my pardon. So why don't we just try it, okay, and not worry about what plants crave?
Attorney General: Brawndo's got what plants crave.
Secretary of Energy: Yeah, it's got electrolytes.
Joe: What are electrolytes? Do you even know?
Secretary of State: It's what they use to make Brawndo.

I've been seeing this shit going around all day.

Evidently, while he was in the White House, Trump made lewd comments about his daughter, Ivanka, to the people around him, talking about her breasts and his sexual fantasies and shit. Predictably, the MAGA's swarmed to defend their "God."

Back in the day I was a fan of the Howard Stern show. I picked up the habit in 1991. I had friends who were fans, I watched all the episodes of the TV version...either new on HBO (I think?) or as reruns there and elsewhere. I had Sirius XM for awhile when that was new, and caught it there also. 

Motherfucker had Donald Trump on his show often enough to be annoying, and I remember a fair number of his seamy comments about Ivanka from there. 

Being a Christian moderate-conservative Republican for most of that time I mostly chalked such things up to the perversion of rich nominally-Leftist city folks, was disgusted, and got on with my day. I never thought Trump would be President, I sure as shit never thought he'd be President as a Republican!

Hell, I remember watching Trump on WWE in the Aughts, when we all figured he'd hit bottom and wasn't ever gonna get back up again.

But ya know, there was a perverse dude-bro fascination with the man (often held by perverse dude-bros) or at least it was that way for some of the people around me. He'd basically put his face or his name to goddamn near anything, there was something shamelessly entrepreneurial, yet also pathetic, about it.

Which seemed about par for the course, for a guy who'd openly speak about fucking his daughter in public, nobody with any class or a brain in their head wanted to give that fucker money.

I wonder if this bullshit is why the Republicans are having so many people get arrested for pedophilia and sexual abuse. They think because Trump talks like that, they can do it??

Perversely enough, though, that's not even the most evil or fucked up or wrong thing I saw today, as I also saw Russian Nationalist freak Alexander Dugin calling for even more atrocities against Ukraine. Since Wagner's abortive coup attempt last week, there seems to be a real fear that the Russians are going to do something stupid to try and show "Strength."

Somebody pointed out that Russia, at this point, is basically an apathetic Idiocracy that lives inside of a TV and the Enchanted World spun up by people like Margarita Simonyan and Olga Skabeeva.

And my mind flashed back to watching a couple of my coworkers back when I worked at the casino, literally staring wide-eyed zombie-like at whichever of the goddamn breakroom TV's had Fox News on it.

And these people, who covet the same kind of Idiocracy as is run by a literal KGB agent have the balls to call other people "Communists?" 

Really, dude? Just a goddamn minute. I only last night wrote about Republicans openly touting Hitler, Stalin and Mao as the "Direction they want to take America in."

(Seriously, are these fucking people just not hearing themselves??)

But I'm going to guess (Putinist Neo-or otherwise) Commies are just fine with Rick Scott, so long as they're "Republicans?"

I guess I never thought I'd live to see the day where Commies, open traitors and perverts would dominate the Republican Party...and the average "Republican" voter would be just fine with it all.

Honestly I think MAGA is just so full of hate and rage that anything anybody says is irrelevant.

"Reagan Wept" doesn't even begin to cover it.

If the Republican Party keeps going like this, it's going to have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah because the arrogant, perverted Idiocracy in their own ranks is worse, this shit is some straight up Biblical-level evil.

Welcome to American Revelation.

Слава Україна!

If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth. And this idea that government is beholden to the people, that it has no other source of power except to sovereign people, is still the newest and most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man. This is the issue of this election. Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves. ~Ronald Reagan

...

The wind whispers of fear and hate. The war has killed love. And those that confess to the Angkar are punished, and no one dare ask where they go. Here, only the silent survive. ~Dith Pran, The Killing Fields
