So, itās been a minute and shit has gone down, hasnāt it. I think thatās a bipartisan - as we Americans say - thing we can all agree on.
Iām definitely in the camp that much, much less of that shit is good as opposed to bad. When I said it actually is Good vs A Terrible Evil this time it is no surprise to me that the events unfolding solidly support that. I say that because the most venal, brutal, inept, grifting, unqualified and stupid people are being put in charge. This is not surprising since this is what is at the very top of the Administration in Herr FĆ¼hrer Trumpf. I mean, casually suggesting an ethic cleansing of Gaza while his knock-off-Jello-molded son-in-law eyes a potentially lucrative Mediterranean waterfront with pockets full of Saudi money is some transparently genocide for profit shit.
But, you know, āvery fine peopleā and all that.
Christ, what are we doing here.
Well, for one, a bunch of folks who profess to do stuff in Christās name instead of maybe the way of Christ pull the lever for a felon who as a (putative!) billionaire could do a lot but instead absolutely doesnāt for the least among us, and rejects the stranger by military aircraft instead of pulling it for the churchish, competent, qualified lady. I know fine people who are true representatives of Christās message (basically, itās ābe nice, donāt be an asshole though that should follow from the first thing, and treat others like you would want to be treated in your hour of direst need, every minute of your lifeā, I think. Itās not that hard to grasp) - and this nice Bishop seems like a sterling example of that, though I know her not but only of her - along with a bunch of people who wanted to slam the door they themselves came through (I mean immigration. And donāt @ me with ābut, legalā ācause a) legal immigration should be VASTLY expanded and should have already covered the millions of undocumented who are solidly part of the tax base, our communities and critically of the backbone of Americaās pandemic economic recovery b) you can see what this administration is already doing with legal immigration , canāt you? Yeah) and wanted cheaper eggs (ALL TIME HIGH, BAYBEE! USA! USA! USA! booyah!).
But, I am not a religious person. Nevertheless, Iāve been sending Christmas-time donations to a church for years, and now felt like the right time to formally join it. Because, allying myself with the Ultimate Rebelā¢ļø seemed like the right thing to do with whatās going down and how I feel. Thatās right, this post will end with āSo, I joined The Satanic Temple yoā.
Iām really looking forward to framing my membership certificate.
Also the Baphomet statue on the lawn of the Arkansas capital after their Legislature put the Ten Commandments on it first was really fucking funny and an excellent point and that kind of thing is an excellent use of my money.
Oneās body is inviolable, subject to oneās will alone. Bans off our bodies and donāt you fucking dare use corporal punishment on my kid.
Hail, Satan.
