Aneristic Illusions / Re: Hard Lessons to be Learned...
Last post by Abbot Mythos - Yesterday at 04:33:12 PMIt appears there will be a special election held, around the beginning of November, to select a new U.S. representative for Tennessee's 7th congressional district. So, it will be interesting to see if the Democratic Party has learned anything about what it's going to take to win elections for national office in today's 'Merica.
Now, to be fair, this district has a Cook PVI of R+10. So, it's going to be difficult for any Democratic candidate to win this seat. And, I won't be surprised if the sociopath-in-chief himself make a personal, reality TV show appearance in Tennessee, where he dances to "Macho Man" for his adoring, redneck worshipers.
But, if Elmo the Oligarch is serious about his "American Party," this is his big chance to crash one of the sociopath-in-chief's parties. Now, I'm not at all optimist about Elmo actually funding a candidate for this special election. But, if he does, it might make this race a little more interesting.
Anyway, in 2022 the Democratic Party ran a black woman for this seat. She won 38.14% of the vote. Then, in 2024 the Democratic Party ran a white woman, and she won 38.05% of the vote. So, it will be interesting to see if the Democratic Party runs yet another woman for this open seat in a redneck district. In my opinion, if the Democratic Party decides to repeat this pattern, they either don't know their constituency, or they believe it's more important for them to run a woman, rather than a viable, possibly competitive male candidate. Or, perhaps, they're just going through the motions.
As I've written before:
Joe Sixpack, Doubleclutch, Bubba, Razor Ramon, and most of the women who willingly socialize with them did not vote for Hillary Clinton, or Kamala Harris. And, they did not vote for them because those two candidates are both Democrats and, obviously, women. Now, I believe a portion of the Joe Sixpack, etc. subculture may sometimes be convinced to vote for a Democratic candidate, or a woman candidate, but not both at the same time.

Because, 'Merica.

Last post by Abbot Mythos - July 08, 2025, 09:13:00 PMYou can not make up stuff like this.
Today, in an extra-special episode of "Turd Reich Reality TV," a notorious, foreign war criminal endorsed the sociopath-in-chief for the Nobel Peace Prize.
I've come to realize I really am a captive member of an audience, and I'm being forced to watch a TV show I don't like, and don't want to watch, but I can't turn the nauseating thing off by myself.

Aneristic Illusions / Re: There Can Be Only One!
Last post by Abbot Mythos - July 06, 2025, 03:55:50 AMAs Elmo just announced he's forming his very own political party, it's obvious he's no longer the Unelected Shadow Co-president Elmo the Oligarch (USCEO). Now, he is, of course, still an oligarch. But, it looks like he was outbid for the attention of the sociopath-in-chief by Jeff Bezos, Peter Thiel, and who knows what other oligarchs.
I am, however, surprised that Elmo chose as bland a name as the "America Party" for his new investment. But, I'm guessing some marketing weasel told him that calling it the "X Party" wasn't going to make it marketable. And, while calling it the Scorned Oligarch Party (SOP) would have been truthful, that name is even less marketable.
Anyway, Elmo's new third party thingy could turn out to be interesting. Now, I don't see Elmo's party ever attracting more than a handful of discontented voters. After all, 'Mericans are far to apathetic, and tribal, for that to ever have any realistic chance of happening. But, I don't believe forming a real political party is Elmo's true objective. I suspect this is all just a cover story for an attempt to buy off a few members of the House of Representatives, and maybe even a senator, or two. I mean, seriously, are there any Republicult™ members of congress who aren't in it for the money? Any at all? And, Elmo still has plenty of money, even if he didn't want to pay the sociopath-in-chief's asking price for NASA.
I write this because gaining control of just a handful of Republicult™ members of congress would give Elmo all the leverage he needs to take over NASA, and to run the show in Washington, D.C. again.
Let the games continue!

Last post by Abbot Mythos - July 04, 2025, 09:27:30 PMThe sociopath-in-chief has announced a reality TV event for 2026 where the UFC will perform on the White House lawn. You can not make up stuff like this.
This almost looks like how the Roman patricians used to provide "Bread and Circuses" to their plebeians to keep them under control. I write "almost" because it's my understanding that the plebeians got their "Bread and Circuses" for free. But, under the Turd Reich, the 'Merican version of the ol' Roman plebeians must pay for everything. And, it's the oligarchs, the 'Merican version of the Roman patricians, who get all of the free rides.

Aneristic Illusions / Re: The Resistance 2.0!
Last post by Abbot Mythos - June 27, 2025, 03:03:18 PMI found this to be an amusing question:
Was Donald Trump Mocked by Dutch Royalty? What We Know
As per this article:
"President Donald Trump appeared to be subtly mocked by Dutch royalty during a NATO summit in The Hague on Wednesday.
Trump was photographed alongside Queen Máxima and King Willem-Alexander at the Huis ten Bosch Palace shortly after arriving at the summit. Standing between the two royals, Trump flashed a thumbs-up and told photographers: "That's the picture we want!"
The King followed with a polite, "I hope you slept well," to which Trump replied, "It was great," smiling and thanking those present.
However, as the moment wrapped up, Queen Máxima appeared to mimic Trump's mouth movements before turning back to face the cameras."
So, now I have a question of my own:
Is Queen Máxima a member of the Resistance 2.0?

Last post by Abbot Mythos - June 25, 2025, 10:31:16 PMQuote from: Abbot Mythos on June 24, 2025, 05:14:28 PMI'm beginning to wonder if I'm watching the daily episodes of an international reality TV show where 'Merica's sociopath-in-chief, Russia's Vladimir Putin, Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu, and Iran's Ali Khamenie, are the principle actors of the ensemble cast. And, the strangest thing about this reality TV show is that it appears Iran's Ali Khamenie has been scripted to be the sanest character.I'm no longer wondering about watching the daily episodes of an international reality TV show. If this isn't definitive proof, I don't know what is:
'Unfathomable to Me': Veteran Pentagon Reporter Shocked Trump Said He Okayed Iranian Attack On U.S. Air Base
As per this article:
"Below is an exact transcript of what Trump said:
You saw that, where 14 missiles were shot at us the other day. And they were very nice. They gave us warning. They said, "We're going to shoot them."
"Is 1 o'clock OK? They said it's fine." And everybody was emptied off the base, so they couldn't get hurt, except for the gunners. They call them the gunners. And out of 14 high-end missiles that were shot at the base in Qatar, all 14, as you know, were shot down by our equipment. Amazing stuff, amazing what they can do."
