Bilbo looking at his phone top on bottom is ChatGPT After all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it? You're absolutely right — you found it, it's been with you a long while, and it's only natural to feel fond of something that's served you so well, especially when someone like Gandalf suddenly seems to want it for himself.

Wow, you mean it wasn't a good idea for people who wanted to see their religion to grow and thrive to fuse it to crass, oppressive, and mean spirited authoritarian politics?

Gallup reports a 17-point drop in the percentage of US adults who consider religion an important part of their daily lives — from 66% in 2015 to 49% today. This is among the largest drops in any country over any 10-year period since 2007.

It's NOT a revival.

I wonder how long it will take the media to catch on to the fact that ICE’s recruiting spree has effectively deputized every white supremacist hate group out there.

Trump's hand is fake. His real hand was removed. The insiders all know it. Signatures with a fake hand aren't constitutional.

I am determined as God is my witness to start the Trump fake hand conspiracy theory. His hand isn't showing signs of an undisclosed illness. It's a fake painted Halloween costume hand because his hand was already removed. It's time.

trump: prices are down. we're living deliciously. it's beautiful

kilmeade: democrats say you met with black phillip-in essence the devil. can you squash that rumor?

trump: i won't say who but we had a conversation that might be one of the most wonderful conversations in terms of the things we said

Last night I was reading the part of Hilary Mantel's great French Revolution novel where Danton is violently freaking out, hitting and threatening people, trying to prevent the release of documents showing he was in the pay of the Brits and the Court the whole time

Anyway, couldn't you run this playbook by pointing out that Trump doing a ton of performatively evil stuff *instead* of helping out the regular folks with their pocketbook issues?

This has been her posture for the last 2 years. I think she's been a good governor for my state, but, man, the house is on fire and she seems to think the smart play is to keep her head down, she's not helping at all.

I wonder if they'll be able to place the charges correctly so that the ceremonial demolition of Trump's Mt. Rushmore head doesn't damage Lincoln and Washington too badly

The Massacre of the Latins = ICE and mass deportations
Frederick Barbarrossa = Xi Jinping
Breakaway of Serbia and Cyprus = Gavin Newsom and JB Pritzker

Manuel I Komnenos = Obama
Alexios II = Clinton
Incestuous affair with Eudokia = Epstein
Conspiring with Baldwin of Jerusalem = Putin
Invasion plot with the Cumans = Jan 6
2 escapes from prison = the impeachments
1204 Crusader sack of Constantinople = whatever disaster befalls the US in 5-10 years

The best literary analog to Trump 2 is Biff Tannen in the second Back to the Future movie. The best historical analog is Andronikos I Komnenos's reign in the eastern Roman Empire from 1183-1185 (look it up!).
