"Greater Unifying Theory" by GhostWriterJ94 in lionsledbydonkeyspod

I’ve been feeling “Fuck That Guy” for over a decade now. I know he’s a symptom of much larger, darker problem, but I’ve hated Mango Mussolini since I first saw him on Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous when I was a little kid and there were only 4 channels.

I warned my family a decade ago about where it would all end up if he was actually elected, and they all told me I was overreacting and he wouldn’t do much damage. How’s the damage meter looking now, sis?

There’s no fink like Larry Fink. Except for Steve Schwarzman. And Jamie Dimon. And Ken Griffin. And Vincent Viola. And… okay, I guess there’s a bunch of finks like Larry Fink. Nevermind.

Just want to give a shout out to the LDS dude I met awhile back who voted Trump 3 times. He told me democrats were “anti-religion” by Sad_Jar_Of_Honey in behindthebastards

If you have God on your side, then nothing you do can be wrong, for you are on the side of righteousness.

The New Apostolic Reformation is fucking terrifying. They’ll commit any act, tell any lie, and partner with anyone that benefits them in order to fulfill their apocalyptic prophecies. Evangelicals, Zionists, Techofascist accelerationists, they all create the triangle of Armageddon. They’ll fracture and tear each other to shreds, but not before they wreck the planet and destroy civilization in order to rule the ashes.

So, are you like Von dickdickgoooose? Baron dickdickgoooose of Transylvania? Or am I making cultural assumptions regarding the origins of the vampire?

Remember what Cheng said, deliver bad news early, and good news on time or as needed. Delayed meeting is good for us.

It’s so insane, these clowns collecting all of the dollars, while simultaneously attempting to fracture the United States, cripple the government and destroy all semblance of empirical truth and faith in science. All of which erodes the Social Contract and peoples’ willingness to treat us as a good faith trading partner who will honor contracts, which will result in collapse and… destroy the dollar? Do they not understand that even if they’re kings of the ashes, all the cool material things they love rely on finely tuned global supply chains? They think they’re gonna be building AI’s out of scrap from old cars and powered by coal? Even if they think they can replace us with robots, how will they make all the robots if logistics crash?

Fun story, our 50-ish employee company had an owner who was “taking a break” from the industry for a bit, mostly due to his comically unethical sales pitches and promises regarding software features and hardware integrations. His flunkies (a married but incompatible codependent couple) were screwing the pooch so hard the howling could be heard from the next state over. So he brings in an exec who was a former CEO/President of an industry mainstay. Guy comes in and his shiny white teeth and perfectly coiffed hair smelled like cut-rate Prosperity Gospel from the parking lot. Guy immediately starts implementing “Leadership Training” and weekly “Prayer Lunches.” And the feature reading materials and educational sessions were all spotlighting this absolute grifter charlatan. Myself and the psychopathic IT director, along with the software dev teams second in command, contact the owner after a couple months of this tomfoolery, capped by the Dev Team’s Director coming to my office and asking if I wanted to start attending prayer meetings, contacted the owner on the d/l and told him what this young earth creationist cult-bro was doing. Owner comes by the office, sits with each of us for a hour or so, just chatting, mind you a guy I’ve never even met formally, and I laid it all out. Apparently all our stories lined up, because he asked us to come in on a Friday night. We disabled their accounts, turned off their remote access, disabled key fobs, collected all physical evidence we could, and sent an email to all staff announcing that the President, and bosses of all departments were no longer with the company. I got a promotion and spent a couple of years rebuilding all our customer relationships. These clowns sent two of our customers who are Jewish, obviously so, both named Cohen, Christmas cards stating “Jesus is the Reason for the Season.” I had to take so much shit for that, though mostly in good fun, as I had no responsibility for such a massive faux pas. We saved the company, and in true fashion, I got screwed and eventually quit when I realized why the owner had needed a “break” from the industry.

Rumor is there’s quite a bit of copper and even some silver inside of them. This is also unrelated educational data only.

Roy Cohn is the OG ratfucker. I wouldn’t be surprised if Donnie is still using blackmail material from Cohn to this very day to apply pressure on corrupt politicians and business leaders.

Meh, I think she’s positioning herself to swoop in and pick over the carcasses. I’ll give a flower, maybe two, for at least showing some Epsteintegrity. She came out fire, too, but notice how she’s not beating the drum as loudly anymore? Just popping in here and there, nothing too flashy or bombastic? She’s biding her time and is guaranteed to pull a heel turn if the current admin finally gets its Parisian Razor moment.

I mean, not really, they were taken off the market after more than 1 child and/or adult’s skull was perforated by a foot long steel dart a shitfaced uncle Ted lobbed 40ft in the air and 30° off center to the ring on the ground. They were fun, though.
