Aneristic Illusions / Re: The Republicult™ On Parade

Unfortunately for a fascist regime that produces reality TV performances for its adoring, shit-eating MAGAt followers, this show appears to have been a ratings bust. Now, the official TV rating numbers aren't in yet, but the video footage clearly shows near empty bleachers along the parade route. And, I haven't seen any estimates of the parade crowd size above 10,000 people.

I know myself and quite a few others were able to register for tickets and then simply not show up, among friends we were able to block out about 50 seats for everyone from Ben Dover to Homme Orange

Went to a No Kings protest today. Turnout was about 1500, which is pretty good for my podunk little town.

Only had a couple yahoos shouting obscenities at us from their cars. I pointed and laughed at them.

Fun stuff.

Hell yeah

As of the time of this posting, the turd-in-chief has not called Governor Walz of Minnesota to offer his condolences after the politically motivated shootings of two Democratic politicians and their wives, one couple of which did not survive their attacks. Further, when the MSM has asked the turd about any communications he may have had with Governor Walz, the piece of shit responded with political insults.

The English language simply does not contain words strong enough to describe my disgust with the turd, and the shit-eating MAGAts who adore him. I can no longer look at a video, or a picture of that piece of shit, and see anything even remotely resembling a human being.

Interesting note:  The soldiers were not impressed.  They were out of step, for chrissakes.  My drill sergeant would have unscrewed my neckpipe and shat down it if I had marched to the chow hall like that at the end of week one.

That has to be deliberate.

I've encountered two narratives:  Either they were intentionally out of step, as a volitional expression of disrespect (i.e., Foxtrot Delta Tango), or they were pissed that they had to spend their weekend doing this, and were just really half-assing it.

I consider the first explanation more likely.  Anyway, it seems that der Fuhrer has not earned the loyalty of the Wehrmacht, which may be important if he attempts to override the results of the mid-term elections (if any).

I am just amazed at how thoroughly Trump ruined the army's 250th birthday.

I shouldn't be, but I am.

I guarantee you the attendance numbers didn't matter and most of the event was contracted to trump family subsidiaries at a premium cost.

Given the turd-in-chief is an entity of classless, bottomless greed, I don't doubt the First Crime Family made every effort to monetize their reality TV performance.

On a couple of the short video clips of the parade that I bothered to watch, I was surprised to learn that the appearance of the U.S. Army was sponsored by Coinbase, and Palantir. It had never occurred to me that the U.S. Army needed corporate sponsors to show up for photo ops. You can not make up stuff like this.

It literally happened! Yesterday, on Saturday, June 14th, The Republicult™ actually went on parade bigly! The Turd Reich, in honor of its dictator wannabe, staged their version of a Moscow Victory Day Parade in Washington, D.C.

Unfortunately for a fascist regime that produces reality TV performances for its adoring, shit-eating MAGAt followers, this show appears to have been a ratings bust. Now, the official TV rating numbers aren't in yet, but the video footage clearly shows near empty bleachers along the parade route. And, I haven't seen any estimates of the parade crowd size above 10,000 people.

In conclusion, I don't foresee the Turd-in-chief being awarded an Emmy for this reality TV show either.

Aneristic Illusions / Re: Iran

Last post by Abbot Mythos - June 15, 2025, 06:20:04 AM

Yeah, after there was no pushback, and active encouragement of the retaliatory murders on innocent civilian populations in gaza, that would have have given the government of Israel the chance to test what the limits of this new relationship was, if they were not actively working with the US to set up this operation.

My biggest fear is Iran will get support from other countries, this will lead to escalation, I Dont understand it but Bibi's goverment seem to want world war 3.

It's been my assumption that Netanyahu acted unilaterally in attacking Iran, simply because I don't believe the turd administration is capable of intentionally becoming involved in anything without turning it into an episode of reality TV. But, I admit, my assumption is extremely cynical, and I could be wrong. 

I also haven't payed much attention to Iran itself for quite a while. I've been viewing them as being a wealthy "proxy war" sponsor, but not a country having dependable, powerful allies. But, I could be wrong about that too.

So, if this thing does continue to escalate, who do you think will throw in with Iran, and also has the real, military power to actually make a difference?
