And I also do think that Israelis that support the right wing evangelicals in the US, do miss that those evangelicals see them as lambs being prepared for the slaughter.

I don’t think they care - the whole Armageddon/final battle thing is a Christian (and mostly evangelical/fundamentalist) thing. They don’t much care **why** they’ve got that set of Americans on their side, they just like having them.

Kind of like the British bemusedly accepting support from the pro-lizard people people (the queen being a lizard person). Sure, they’re nutty but we like their pressuring of the American government.

Huh. I would have bet that’d be a Pence thing rather than Trump. Although Pence would have mentioned their broad shoulders.

So I guess his _other_ questionable 9/11 story, about physically helping dig out survivors at the Trade Center site, happened due to spirit projection…???

Certainly he’s a pro with respect to _psychological_ projection, so perhaps it would come as no surprise that he can do the spirit variety, too.

That’s extremely plausible. He has endorsed the suggestions of an Astral Sex doctor, so maybe he learned how to project his greasy essence onto higher planes like Doctor Strange? (Doctor Orange?)

I would not be in the least surprised if Benedict Cumberbatch sued you, personally, for having launched this association into the world.

You’ve materially harmed his power to command a large paycheck in any further DS movies.

Sure it wasn’t the Taco Bell corporation that came up with that title?

Wait, I thought Trump was in New Jersey at the time, watching those thousands of fictitious Muslims cheering and dancing in the streets?

It’s almost like Trump is completely full of shit or something.

Richmond, VA took down their massive statue of Robert E. Lee…which, of course, enraged the twice-impeached two-time loser, and he took to his Official Website to denounce the act and praise the genius of Lee.

Including…“[except for Getttysburg, he would have won the war](https://news.yahoo.com/trump-weird-rant-robert-e-081318204.html).”

Which is hysterical. Like, “except for Stalingrad, Hitler would have defeated Russia” or “except for Waterloo Napoleon would have won the Napolonic wars.”

Goes to my point: The last major war fought and won by a Republican administration ended in 1865 and many of the _current_ party wishes for a do-over as they think the wrong side won.

That _does_ sound depressingly like a line from a screenplay some True Believer (in both Donald and the Marvel Cinematic Universe) has typed out in some Waffle House, somewhere in Laramie or Stone Mountain or such.

Well, but did you ever type out a “Doctor Orange” screenplay in a Waffle House, there?
