"While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction (or, son of perdition - KJV) so that Scripture would be fulfilled." John 17:12 NIV
"Don't let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God." 2 Thessalonian 2:3, 4 NIV
I will be off blog studying for midterms next week.
I am admittedly trolling...
This is the basis for "doomsday preppers" and conspiracy theorists positing positions on "the New World Order" and Davos globalist (an anti-semitic term). It sold a lot of books, like "Christ Returns in 1988: 101 Reasons Why" (newsflash). These are the lines televangelists used to raise ungodly amounts of "seed money" from desperate people that are doing the enlarged equivalent of throwing a coin in a fountain; the visible fruit being mansions, suits, limos and leer jets. It bled into the deification of market forces in a Janus, Faustian merger of libertarianism and prosperity gospel. Co-opting God, the party previously of "family values" voted for the p---y grabber without batting an eye. For the Right/Reich Neo-Fascists that bear no relation to the progenitor of their "faith," these scriptures do not give them pause, since they never believed them in the first place.
These were their Emperor's Klan bedsheets since the legitimization of domestic terrorism cum white supremacy. It was easier to hide them in "abstract" Lee Atwater language, coded phrases: "dog whistles" either with shouted lies from literally a bully pulpit, or tweeting like a loon from the loo. The orange one used the word acquisitions versus the correct accusations in reference to his Supreme Court nominee. When I called him on it, he deleted the tweet. Orange genius has no sense of cache memory...probably thinks it's "fake news."
We are post the spectacle of a kangaroo court where evidently, eleven white men's ball sacks shriveled as they whined in the shadows of the senate, hiring a "female assistant" from Maricopa County, Arizona to ask the tough questions so they wouldn't look like they're as unfair as many were to Professor Anita Hill a generation ago. This is SUPPOSED to be a part of their constitutional duties to "advise and consent" a Supreme Court nominee. If they wanted safety, they should have stayed out of politics and frankly, stayed at home. They sidelined her when she tried to do the job she was hired for to Kavenaugh - prosecuting sex crimes, whom I will now and forever refer to as the screaming lunatic, conspiracy theorist judge and raging misogynist. Lindsey Graham mimicked him perfectly.
What used to be called "norms" have been eroding for some time. It was during the over year-long delay to even hear Merrick Garland, Mitch McConnell's proudest moment. It precedes the orange dolt by years, if not decades. Clarence Thomas invoked "high-tech lynching," playing his one and only race card after a life of black republicanism disdaining the advances made by Civil Rights and Affirmative Action that even made his ascension possible. As most republican appointees we've seen recently, his mission to the EEOC appeared to be wreck it or at least hobble its primary function, anathema to most conservatives. As 53% of white women consciously and deliberately voted for an admitted sexual assaulter, there are African Americans that consciously go along with, and support white supremacy. So, it's not at all surprising that conservative women not only support Kavenaugh, but are willing to make excuses they would not make to their own daughters...or, they just might.
These old, ossified buffoons and their caricature of a wise-guy mobster are not republicans. That is just a label of their tribal cult. They are impervious to facts, as debates about adequate sexual education as the most effective means of reducing teenage unwanted pregnancy; climate change and the pursuit of alternative energy resources, the age of the earth, evolution, scientific literacy jettisoned. The hearing's limits were - to agree with the screaming, crying, pompous banshee trying to lie his way on the Supreme Court - an orchestrated farce!
Federal Republic: A federal republic is a federation of states with a republican form of government.
Republic: A republic (Latin: res publica) is a form of government in which the country is considered a "public matter", not the private concern or property of the rulers. The primary positions of power within a republic are not inherited. It is a form of government under which the head of state is not a monarch.
You cannot be a federal republic with the shameful display by twelve misogynists (11 senators and one asshole, crying judge) without norms, rationality, reality and an agreement on what is truth!
"While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction (or, son of perdition - KJV) so that Scripture would be fulfilled." John 17:12 NIV
The sons of perdition will not go to destruction alone. With Putin and his lackey's help, so will our republic and likely...the world.
