Governor Newsom has clearly established himself as a Resistance 2.0 leader with a wicked sense of humor:

Newsom Roasts Trump Suck-Ups With a New Line of MAGA Kneepads

As per this article:

"California Gov. Gavin Newsom took a sharp jab at Donald Trump and all those who "bend the knee" to him by announcing the launch of a range of "MAGA Kneepads."

Speaking at the California Economic Summit in Stockton on Wednesday, Newsom flagged the latest addition to the range of Trump-baiting merchandise sold on his satirical "Patriot" website.

"You will be seeing on my Patriot site new kneepads that I'll be sending out," Newsom told the crowd. He said the items were intended for "all the CEOs, media companies, law firms, and universities" he accused of groveling to Trump as he took America "back to a pre-1960s world.""

So, don't forget, the Sacred 'Merican Church and State Approved Xmas Gift Buying Season is just around the corner. And, it's remotely possible there just may be a prominent MAGAt on your very own Xmas List, who will both appreciate, and eagerly utilize an actually useful gift like a pair of MAGA Kneepads.

Fortunately I think they're rushing that a bit.  All the MAGAts I've talked to are still opposed to nazis, and the KKK. 


 . . . no true MAGAt . . .
So ... MAGAts In Name Only? Okay ... but calling them MAGAtINOs is clumsy. It just doesn't work, and will never catch on. And, simply shortening it to MINOs doesn't work either.

But, what about MINNOWs, meaning MAGAts IN Name Only Wankers, with  MINNOW being the singular version? I, for one, see possibilities in this insult. For instance, imagine, if you will, a graphic of a school of MINNOWs swimming around in the Turd Reich's Cesspool, with true MAGAts gathered round and jeering at them.

And, it would be really hilarious if the MINNOWs "took the bait," and began proclaiming themselves to be True MAGATs too. I would love watching two MAGAt factions trying to "out MAGAt" each other.

I can see this going very well, or very badly, but more likely both, at the same time, in ways that are currently hard to imagine but will be indelibly etched on our minds, once you regale us with the stories of your adventures.

Is Floriduh and DeSilliness a match blessed by GOP Jesus, or what?

DeSantis Indicates He Would Sign Ivermectin Bill Into State Law

As per this article:

"Gov. Ron DeSantis indicated on social media that he would sign a bill on the over-the-counter sale of Ivermectin if it is passed by the Florida Legislature.

"We are pushing for the Legislature to do the Ivermectin bill; I will sign it once passed," DeSantis wrote in response to an X user.

Ivermectin is a drug most commonly used to treat parasitic diseases. According to WebMD, the drug was first established in the 1970s and used primarily on animals to kill internal and external parasites, such as gastrointestinal worms, due to their harm to livestock."

After all, who among us has not needed to immediately self-medicate after being infected with gastrointestinal worms?

Principia Discussion / Re: Merry Fucking Maladay
Last post by Abbot Mythos - October 24, 2025, 02:11:59 AM
Yes, o ye of fickle faith, it's that time again! It's Maladay, the fifth day of The Aftermath, in the Year of Our Lady of Discord 3191.

And, that means it's once again time to remember and celebrate The Elder Malaclypse (MAL-1), a Non-Prophet, and the Patron and namesake of Malaclypse the Younger (MAL-2).

Now, the Elder Malaclypse is mostly remembered for wandering around really, really, old cities, while bearing signs. (There's nothing recorded about MAL-1 flipping, spinning, twirling, or waving the signs. But, it's unlikely that, back in the day, all that many people knew how to read his signs anyway.) That, of course,  and being the harbinger of the easily avoided Erisian Eschatology. (And that, boys and girls, is why Discordianism is one of the most user friendly religions on the face of the Earth.)

Hail Eris! All Hail Discordia!

Not sure how they're going to blame the destruction of the east wing on Obama, but, whatev.  It's a minor incident in the context of what is happening to the population at large.

Pity about the historical architecture though.

October 22, 1844 - The Great Disappointment - Millerites' Were Wrong About the Second Coming

Then, they changed their minds, and decided it was actually the start for J.C.'s final work of atonement, the cleansing in the heavenly sanctuary, leading up to the Second Coming.

Well ... what with all of that "perfection stuff" I'd been force-fed taught as a boy, I'm kind of surprised the place got so messy in the first place. But, I guess those Millerites were really into their deities making dramatic entrances.

Now, our own Blessed Goddess Eris, except for that Original Snub incident, comes and goes whenever and wherever she wants. And, while I don't know for certain, I'm pretty sure Divine Goddess Eris just leaves all of that cleansing stuff up to her Holy Household Help. 

Hail Eris! All Hail Discordia!
