During an interview with Fox News, Cruz was asked why so many Republican-held Senate seats were toss-ups this year. Cruz acknowledged the frightening environment for the GOP — “there are eight to 10 Senate races that are tied or within the margin of error” — before saying Republicansappear cursed because their party is in power

      This. I’ve detested this asshole since the 80s. And there are so fucking many of us now. If the demo he was talking about were the only people that absolutely detest donnie dipstick, his numbers would be in the 90+ percent range.

      And it so ain’t.

    Ritual Black Magick and Hermeticism require the novice to contact, explore, accept, and exhalt their most opposite sexual identity, so this has always been a thing.

    Grant Morrison has some really interesting experiences with this, but we are all some varying percentages of part male, part female, and part neither. Identifying as any one of these strongly and entirely while renouncing the others is essentially denying your soul/spirit a fair chance to develop fully in this lifetime. You don’t have to commit to anything if you don’t want to, but as a man, you can’t understand how to treat others until you’ve walked a mile in their heels, skate shoes, cowboy slippers, weighted diving boots, lacy pink booties or wooden clogs. ( I think that covers it )

    I feel like Old Gods of Appalachia should use this as a writing prompt for a one off non-canon episode.

    Also, listen to Old Gods of Appalachia, that show is so fucking good.

        Same. I’ve sat out this season so I can burn through it without waiting for the next episodes. They really know how to leave you hanging and begging for more.

        They have some smaller series that they do on patreon that are entirely worth it, as well. Cam and Steve are such phenomenal writers, and Steve’s voice and candor is just pure honey to the ears.

        Lovecraftian entities and nefarious creatures and critters of the hollers, their schemes, and the witches and workers of The Green that protect them and theirs against those that would do harm in Appalachia, most of it is set in the early 1900’s around the times of the railroad and mining tycoons, but it jumps around. Really good story telling, lore, characters, narration, and voice acting, they put a lot of work into it. Fully written and performed (with a couple of high profile caveats) by progressive people of and from Appalachia. Can’t recommend it enough.

    No, it’s Americans who appear cursed because their party is in power.

    time is a flat circle. i can just hear larry nichol’s gravelly voice as he explains to alex jones how hilary clinton is in a coven with linda bloodworth-thomason doing blood magic.

    edit: adding a shoutout to my fellow wonks. remember, life is very fragile.

      LOL, was he the one always talking about how Bill was running a drug importation operation out of Arkansas’ Governor’s mansion?

      The fucking 90s were wild, JFC. And a precursor to all this shit. All that fringe shit from back then was mainstreamed by 2015…

        Ah, an artefact from a better time. I mean, the site was completly barking mad, but the times were better. You don’t seem to get that grade of insanity anymore.

          In some ways, it’s just more normalized and hides in the corner screaming about flat earths… but yes. Time cube was definitely… special. lol

            The way things are going, a few decades from now the University of Florida will be offering PhDs in Cubism. There will be a whole department of Cubists filled with tenured faculty. They’ll somehow all understand each other and clearly engage in some form of vigorous debate amongst themselves about the finer points of cubism. But no one outside the department will have the slightest goddamn idea what they’re on about.

    To be fair, thousands of witches world wide have hexed these pedo scumbags.

    The pedo GOP & their cult deserves every single bad thing that happens to them.

        If the supernatural was real the nations built on the burial grounds of their victims would be in a lot more trouble than “the wealthy kept taking more”

          Kinda like how it homeopathy was real - how does water remember the substance the started with but it forgets all the poo that’s been in it (with apologies to Tim Minchen)? :)
