It’s been bothering me for a while now as I watch the legions of Magadon dip their toes into the rubecon, but the events of this week have seen the rubes wade in and splash their way to the other side. Truly, they’ve actually done it.
I’ll clarify my Rubicon reference before I elaborate. The Rubicon was a river in Italy. Tradition held in Rome that no general could cross the river with their troops without that crossing being a direct threat to the authority of the Roman senate. Caesar crossed the Rubicon on his way to becoming a dictator, and with that crossing the democratic concept vanished from Rome.
Vir Aurantiacus has in my opinion emulated Caesar and declared official war on the democratic republic that calls itself the United States. It’s amazing that this is happening when you look at the generals leading his charge, but Potulentus Pete and Iudex et Iurati Pam have stepped up to the plate to do their masters bidding.
And it’s fucking insane.
Vir Aurantiacus has had a busy week of democracy destruction. I’m not even sure what could be labelled as his most noteworthy accomplishment in the last seven days. His Tylenol debacle was astonishing as he told the common folk that a drug ingredient he couldn’t pronounce, was in his opinion a cause of autism. Based on the fact that somehow the president of America was aware there were no autistic Amish. His words will make some magafems uncomfortable during their pregnancy, but as far as destroying democracy, the action is probably a one on the damage scale.
And I only give it a one because of the potential it had to endorse the concept that how the president feels about an issue is more important than the science. However, as a prelude to banning vaccines it serves its intended purpose of creating Maga science skepticism. That mistrust comes in handy when you need to convince your people that the hurricanes and flooding and drought are a con job.
Greatest con job ever in fact.
Speaking of the United Nations.
I’m not American and I was embarrassed. Vir Aurantiacus was in my opinion sliding door unhinged. He stood in front of the representatives of the entire world and brazenly lied for fifty four minutes. Actually he probably only lied for about half the time. The other half he bounced between bitching about escalators, praising himself and tossing out insults. The whole thing was a fucking cringefest. He actually stood in a room of delegates from across the globe and provided living proof that the so called strongest democracy on the planet was in the hands of an ego inflated psychopath.
I’m guessing it wasn’t the greatest hour for the rest of the democracies that comprise the United Nations. It’s hard to calculate the damage from his speech though, because I think the rest of the world is already adjusting to fill roles the Americans used to occupy. So it’s a given that trend will continue. But I will say that the damage to Americans is real. Consider that Americans make up less than five percent of the world’s population. That means ninety five percent of the world will consider the state of mind of the American voter before they trade or travel to or with the United States. With that in mind, I’m giving the speech a three on the damage scale just because he demonstrated crazy on a global scale.
Also, I’m wondering what it’s like to be an American traveller these days. I think they get to explain themselves a lot.
You would think that Vir Aurantiacus would be satisfied with Tylenol and escalator misinformation, and hit the golf course. But no, he had a few other gems of destruction up his sleeve. He finally found an attorney that was stupid enough to indict James Comey, and begin his promised campaign to jail everyone that hurt his feelings. Appropriately enough, on Trumped up charges. Then he posted that he’s instructed Pete to send the military to Portland to violently deal with I.C.E. protesters.
And he says he’s going to sue ABC for letting a comedian back on the air that he got his F.C.C. Chair to have fired.
I’m not an American constitutional expert, but if I recall correctly there are words in the document that protect the right to assemble and the right to free speech. Vir Aurantiacus doesn’t like those amendments though, and maybe that’s why he left some important stuff out of his Trump Oklahoma bible. Maybe he thinks the speech part actually reads free speech for the right, and not free speech as a right.
The disregard for two constitutional amendments by the government that’s supposed to protect them has to be a five out of ten, with potential to rise to a ten out of ten depending on the volume of disregard.
There’s more. I said he was a busy fella.
He spoke at Charlie Kirks memorial service. He didn’t really say much about Charlie, but he did talk about himself quite a bit. But other than the usual lies, there were a few things about the event that left an impression. The first was the pyrotechnics. I’ve never seen fireworks at a memorial service before. The second was the hate from Vir Aurantiacus and his minions. It was amazing how effortlessly they blamed the ubiquitous left without any concern for evidence or accuracy, and then whined incessantly about the violent rhetoric from that same left. I’m always amazed when their heads don’t explode from the hypocrisy.
Then when the widow Kirk embraced Vir Aurantiacus the look on his face was fucking disgusting. It was like he was showing the crowd, hey check this out, her boobs are pressed against me and I’m grinding my dick on her. Check it out if you have time. The lip curl and the slight bend of his knees was truly odd.
Truth be told, the event felt to me like it should have been held in Nuremberg.
So, for ramping up the hate and stoking the fires of division, I’m giving Vir Aurantiacus a six out of ten on the democracy damage meter. I think six is appropriate when you call for war against better than half of the country that has opinions that differ from yours.
Sometime after Charlie but I think before the call for the military to invade Portland, Vir Aurantiacus snuck in an executive order that has major damage potential. He signed an executive order declaring a philosophy a domestic terrorist. ANTIFA isn’t a group. They don’t have an office, and they don’t have blue hats or any merch for that matter. What the order does is establish the right of the government to treat anyone or anything they designate as ANTIFA in the same fashion they’d treat ISIS or Hamas.
That means protesters with placards in Portland can be treated in the same manner as al-Qaeda in Albuquerque with AK’s. That kind of power ought to make Kristi’s tits tingle. I wonder what she’s going to wear. Something camo I think, with a nice beret.
The executive order is illegal by the way, but Vir Aurantiacus is deciding what’s legal these days and he doesn’t seem to give much of a fuck what the courts think.
So as far as the damage scale goes, I’m saying this executive order has a ten potential. If Vir Aurantiacus and Kristi and Pete and Steven all get to label any opposition as ANTIFA and therefore terrorists, then America is going to have an Oprah Antifa event. You’re a terrorist and they’re a terrorist. Everybody is a terrorist. and we’re going to treat you like a boat off the shore of Venezuela.
I can barely wait for next week.
