Aneristic Illusions / Re: The Republicult™ On Parade

The congresswoman I'm fond of calling 'Drama Queen Green' has officially performed her version of "Elvis has left the building." And, this following long article is the best I've found about the possible reasons for her departure:

Marjorie Taylor Greene's puzzling political transformation, explained

"Once a fierce advocate for Trump and his MAGA base, Greene has broken with the president and resigned from Congress. New Yorker writer Charles Bethea discusses Greene's past — and what may lie ahead."

Again, this is a long, in depth article/recording, and I'm only cherry-picking one particular quotation from it. So, if anyone is interested, then fine, read the article, or listen to the recording. And, if no one is interested, then that's fine too.

As per this article/recording:

"The thing about Greene that hasn't changed is her intuitive and early understanding of what matters most to the MAGA base of the Republican Party. This is her special talent, which has been demonstrated repeatedly and is, I think, being demonstrated again with this Venezuelan action and her response to it. Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy put it to me recently in this way, he said she's the canary in the coal mine of the GOP." (emphasis mine)

Now, I admit, I never saw the breakup between MTG and the POSOTUS coming. But, my simplistic opinion is that the principal reason for this falling out is his unwillingness to release the complete Trump-Epstein Files. I think the brazen attempts by His Vileness to cover up the evidence of his, and his political allies, involvement with a convicted pedophile is "a bridge too far" for this genuine MAGA believer.

This threat came one day before threatening not to run elections this year. Full on autocratic coup
The POSOTUS is getting closer and closer to driving his crazy train off the rails.

Everyone knows they don't want to do it, but to avert catastrophe, some GOP senators are going to have grow some spines and stage some sort of an intervention in the very near future. And, fortunately, there are some signs that just enough of them may be willing to do it.

Although it's theoretically possible, I think the odds of the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution being invoked are very small, as the POSOTUS has packed his cabinet with far too many self-serving sycophants. And, even if it is invoked, it will not necessarily be a good thing in the long run, as the MSM will then give Vance a long honeymoon period between now and the November midterm elections.

Still, as bad as it is right now, I do not believe the majority of the American people will submit to a full-blown authoritarian government.

As I'm currently glued to my telephone, trying to coordinate treatment for a hospitalized family member, I have way, way too much waiting time on my hands. But, it is a busy news day, and here's another story that's keeping me occupied during my waiting for callbacks:

APSU to pay $500,000 to professor fired, then reinstated over Charlie Kirk post
   
"Austin Peay State University will pay one of its professors $500,000 after initially firing him for a social media post in the wake of Charlie Kirk's death."

As per this article:

"CLARKSVILLE, TN (WKRN) – Austin Peay State University will pay one of its professors $500,000 after initially firing him for a social media post made in the wake of conservative activist Charlie Kirk's death.

Darren Michael, an associate professor of acting and directing at APSU, was fired by the institution last year after comments on Kirk's death. In September, APSU moved Michael to suspension before fully bringing him back into the classroom last month.

On Monday, WKRN News 2 obtained a copy of a settlement agreement and settlement authorization indicating APSU will pay Michael $500,000 and reimburse therapeutic counseling services for Michael."

And so, boy and girls, I think the moral of this story is "Resistance is not always futile."

Aneristic Illusions / The Greenland Invasion Threat
Last post by Abbot Mythos - January 07, 2026, 02:45:37 PM
This is yet another "You can't make this stuff up." situation.

Up until now I thought this threat from the POSOTUS, and PeeWee Goebbels the Jewish Nazi, was too ridiculous to take seriously. I wrote it off as yet another manufactured controversy being utilized to 'flood the zone' with distractions away from the Turd Reich's Trump-Epstein Files problem.

But, the threats aren't going away, and we've reached the point where some high-ranking members of the GOP are finally feeling the necessity to publicly address this issue as follows:     

Trump's Threats Against Greenland Draw GOP Pushback

""We're not going to take over another country that's our ally," Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) said of President Trump's threats against Greenland."

And so, as per this article:

"Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) was even more blunt about the matter.

"This is really dumb," Bacon, a retired Air Force brigadier general, wrote in a post online in response to White House adviser Stephen Miller advocating in an interview on CNN for the U.S. to take Greenland.

"Greenland and Denmark are our allies," Bacon added. "There is no upside to demeaning our friends. But, it is causing wounds that will take time to heal.""

Once again, "You can't make this stuff up."

Look who else is keeping the Chemtrails Conspiracy Theory alive and well:

Where the chemtrails aren't: Florida airport reports show no weather modification activity

As per this article/video:

"Florida's airports are now required to submit monthly reports on weather-modification activities. Have there been any? News 6 requested the reports."

Governor DeSilliness and Floriduh are doing their part!

We're about to invade Greenland.  Fucking Greenland.  And Trump is going to put Stephen Miller in charge of Venezuela.

Where are the Discordians now?

Quote from: Brother Mythos on January 06, 2024, 01:05:33 AMJanuary 6, 2021 - A failed coup d'état was attempted by TFG

I don't know how history will eventually name this day. I'm in favor of calling it "Failed Coup d'état Day," because I believe TFG should always, and only be remembered for his many crimes and failures.

"Insurrection Day" is my second choice.

If this forum were more active, I would add some more possible choices, and then create a poll. But, ... <shrug>.

So, here we are four years later. But, as a reward for his failed coup d'état, 'Merica's trailer trash, with substantial support from the MSM, Republicult™ media outlets, and numerous oligarchs, has given TTSS yet another chance to destroy our republic. The Resistance 2.0 has it's work cut out for it.
Now, five years after the unprecedented 'Merican historical event, the undisputed leader of Insurrection Day is the sitting POSOTUS.

This happened because on Tuesday, Election Day, November 5th, 2024, 77,303,568 'Mericans saw a twice impeached, 2020 election loser, convicted felon, and adjudicated rapist on the ballot with an 'R' after its name, and said to themselves something to the effect of, "Oh, hell yeah! Gimme some more of that!"

I could have posted this in the 'The Venezuela Invasion' topic. But, this article just screams Toxic Ego:

Trump Made Huge Diplomatic Move Because His Feeling Got Hurt

"|STILL STINGS] The president reportedly declined to install opposition leader María Corina Machado as head of the country because she didn't turn the prize down."

As per this article:

"White House insiders say President Donald Trump chose not to install a nominal ally as leader of Venezuela following his lightning invasion this weekend because she bruised his ego.
 
Many expected that after the MAGA administration's shocking capture of Nicolas Maduro in the early hours of Saturday, Trump might have sought to appoint opposition figurehead María Corina Machado as the oil-rich nation's new head of state.
 
Two people "close to the White House" told The Washington Post on Monday the president declined to do so because Machado had committed the "ultimate sin" of offending his pride.

They cited the opposition leader's decision in November to accept the Nobel Peace Prize rather than turning it down to protest the committee's decision not to give it to Trump.
 
"If she had turned it down and said, 'I can't accept it because it's Donald Trump's,' she'd be the president of Venezuela today," the newspaper's sources said."

Given the well known history of His Vileness, this current incident shouldn't come as much of a surprise to anyone. So, right now, the only question in my mind is, "Was this example of the POSOTUS' toxic ego intentionally spoon-fed to the press by loyal sycophants, or are there really "Two people "close to the White House"" who are genuinely appalled by his behavior?"
