Aneristic Illusions / Re: The Republicult™ On Parade
Last post by Abbot Mythos - Today at 12:59:15 PMSome members of the Republicult™ are talking about taking the Road to Nowhere. And, I'm fine with it:
As per this article:
"Greene, who resigned from Congress in January, had previously discussed the possibility of forming a new political party after growing "fed up" with Republicans.
"I think there's a group of us that if we decide to align, we could launch a true America-focused party that doesn't fall into the traps of Democrats or Republicans, but could align some serious players from the right and the left," she told Piers Morgan on June 30.
Carlson, a former Fox News host turned popular podcaster, echoed this sentiment in July, telling The Columbia Journalism Review: "There's going to be a third party, and I'm going to do everything I can to bring that about.""
But, further along in this article:
"While multiple polls show that most Americans oppose a war with Iran, history suggests that a third party would face steep odds of success. No third-party candidate has won the presidency in the modern era, and only a small number of lawmakers in Congress are not aligned with either major party."
So, I wish good luck to these prominent, outcast MAGAts. The list of Greedy Oligarchs who will NOT fund their proposed third party is long. And, the Republicult™ economy has already tapped out the majority of its members.

Aneristic Illusions / Re: The Republicult™ On Parade
Last post by Abbot Mythos - Yesterday at 06:40:30 PMAs per this short article, and its accompanying video:
"During a call organized by the White House Faith Office last night, Todd Blanche said that his goal is to make sure that "God is front and center again" and that "being a Christian in this country ... is actually a benefit.""
So, now there's a "White House Faith Office." I guess I either didn't get the memo, or didn't bother to read it. But, anyway, I thought the primary goal of the Turd Reich was to actually make being a greedy oligarch even more of a benefit.

High Weirdness / Re: Will NASA Diminish the UFO...
Last post by Abbot Mythos - Yesterday at 06:06:46 PMThe POSOTUS and his Turd Reich have unleashed some much chaos upon the world that I almost forgot about this one:
Apparently, under the Turd Reich, the dissemination of UFO "information" is now too important to be entrusted to NASA, so this important task has been delegated to "The Department of War."
And, if you can't trust Whiskey Pete and his "The Department of War" to give you the honest, true facts, who can you trust?

If Farage loses to Count Binface, the entirety of reform should resign in disgrace.

Aneristic Illusions / Re: Clacton By-Election
Last post by Abbot Mythos - July 30, 2026, 10:12:07 PMYour post reminded me of one of 'Merica's most successful political pranksters:
As per this article:
"Mr. Paulsen became a household name in 1968 when he announced on ''The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour'' that he was running for President under the Straight Talking American Government Party, or the S.T.A.G. Party.
The joke took on a life of its own, as he campaigned in one election after another, using slogans like ''We Cannot Stand Pat,'' ''We Can Be Decisive, Probably,'' and ''United We Sit.'' At last summer's Democratic National Convention in Chicago, he promised: ''If elected, I will win.''"
I wouldn't be at all surprised if no one reading this post remembers, or has even heard of Pat Paulsen. But, back in the days of TV antennas, and only three national (3) networks, Pat attracted a huge 'Merican audience.
It's good to read that the tradition lives on in the UK.

And, since Discordians don't even need reasons to celebrate anything, it does count.
And, you get Bonus Points if your dog shared his liver cake with you.
Well kinda. I got 500g of trimmed free range organic chicken livers from the butcher. Made his cake out of half and made pate for the people guests out of the other half. I'd have made him pate too but butter & brandy play havoc with doggy digestion.

Aneristic Illusions / Clacton By-Election
Last post by Pope Mome Apocrypha - July 30, 2026, 05:17:05 PMNot sure if anyone here looks at UK politics all too often, but essentially, Nigel Farage, the main frontman for Reform UK (Formerly the Brexit Party) has decided to attempt to prove the people are behind him by "stepping down" and triggering a by-election for the parliamentary constituency, which he will also be running in. No other major party is touching the shitshow with a ten foot pole, meaning theoretically he would have an uncontested feel good victory in order to distract from some of the scrutiny he's been under for various reasons (largely undisclosed gifts and possible bribes). He would be running uncontested, however someone without any major party backing has decided that a one-person contest wouldn't do. Thus, the main competitors in the Clacton by-election are of course an absolute joke of a man, and the honorable Count Binface, who has pledged to build at least one affordable house, and not be Nigel Farage. Despite 87% of Clacton voting Reform in 24, in the polls Binface is doing better off, with Nigel doing worse than the option of electing neither. However, no matter who wins the election, I would like to thank Count Binface for making it so that now, the leader of Reform UK will always be remembered as the man who ran against the trash can, and be haunted by the closeness of that competition.

Or Kill Me / Re: Fuck you.
Last post by Faust - July 30, 2026, 12:01:47 AMIm struggling for what to say, perhaps nothing is best, but I dont want to leave what you've said unmarked.
This is the phrase we use, everything else is redundant and deminishes. Its formal, but I mean this truly.
I'm sorry for your loss.

Last post by Pergamos - July 29, 2026, 04:33:55 PMI'm personally happy to see folks on the right who hate Trump, they do tend to be batshit, but sometimes they are aware of things that Liberals or the Left are not.
