Well, Republicans, this - yes, this thing - is your very own Golden Calf.
You created it, you worship it as a god ... yet it remains what it always was and will ever be: an utterly wretched creature.
"And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?"

Good Morning Doc Sarvis:

Right now I'm reading Gods, Heroes, and Men of Ancient Greece by W.H.D. Rouse (1957).

Then I'm going to either read from my Jules Verne anthology that includes Master of the World or Elmer Gantry by Sinclair Lewis.

Dummkopf Trumpf on Truth Social:

"Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy. He talks about "fear" of the Trump Administration, but doesn't mention the FEAR that the Catholic Church, and all other Christian Organizations, had during COVID when they were arresting priests, ministers, and everybody else, for holding Church Services, even when going outside, and being ten and even twenty feet apart. I like his brother Louis much better than I like him, because Louis is all MAGA. He gets it, and Leo doesn't! I don't want a Pope who thinks it's OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon...."

That's supposed to be Christ? Christ wasn't a demented narcissist as far as I know.

Donald Trump is a blasphemer and support of him is sacrilege.

Nevertheless, "Fr. Vance" will be along shortly to give us all a catechism lesson about how wonderful this all is.

Morning, Coriolanus ...
You might want to consider The Moor's Account by Laila Lalami (
en.wikipedia.org)
and Pat Barker's The Silence of the Girls (en.wikipedia.org). I found both absorbing.

Sick Bastage.

Earlier, more Ernest Times, would have known what to Do about this.

Both books sound excellent, Doc Sarvis, much appreciated.

Years ago I had heard about an African prince or navigator from the Dark Continent heading West across the vast salty expanse and "discovering" the New World (Brazil), but this is anecdotal. One AI snapshot suggests that I may be referring to Abubakari II, a 14th-century ruler of the Mali Empire.

How many of Immanuel Velikovsky books have you read?

Anyways re-reading Greek mythology has been most rewarding.

I had forgotten all about Hercules' twin brother (also strong, but not like the "Big H").

Did you perchance see my post about the US Army civilian who got jammed up because she divulged secrets to a journalist about Delta Force?

That book sounds like another good read.

Too many books, not enough time, Doc Sarvis.

"an AI-generated image depicting himself (Trump) as Jesus Christ"

We have had much more than enough warning.

Get rid of the man, or the rest of us suffer.

If there are one or two of you out there who still don't think that Donald Trump is dangerously mentally impaired.

Just wait until he posts himself as being Mohammed.

Praise be to Allah!

If a USSS SA plugs the morbidly obese geriatric child molesting draft dodger in the back of the head, what jury would convict him or her?


Jury nullification.

And if the USSS SA is somehow convicted in federal court, an imminent act of clemency would follow from a Democratic POTUS.

Once again the libs attack a man just for expressing his faith. In himself. That he is the messiah. And the son of God.

I've been thinking about this myself. You know he's going to do it, too .... someday at 3:00 a.m. while rage dumping on the WH crapper.

Then we won't have to worry about Donnie anymore.

From Jesus having his back to being Jesus himself in less than 2 years! The Apostles could have learned from Trump!

He's completely lost what's left of his tiny little mind. Put the pedo in prison.

There is no better example of how the fight against Trump & MAGA is a battle between good & evil than the septuagenarian drug addict and life long sexual predator picking a fight with the Pope during a Sunday night Adderall binge. God help us all.

The "conservative" columnist for the KC Star has seen enough.
Something about the guy that embodies all 7 Deadly Sins depicting himself as Christ rubs the wrong way.

on #18... one of the interesting things is who created the Jesus Trump meme; Nick Adams, who then got a newly made up title of, Special Presidential Envoy for American Tourism, Exceptionalism, and Values.

Of course, one suspects that Blasphemy is worth a fake title.

@#24 ... Trump now tries LYING his way out of posting himself as Jesus: ...

Trump takes down image from his social media platform that depicted him as a Jesus-like figure
abcnews.com

... An AI-generated photo that President Donald Trump posted Monday on his social media platform that depicted him as a Jesus-like figure and drew criticism from some of the president's religious backers was removed roughly 13 hours after it was posted.

At an unscheduled news conference at the White House Monday afternoon, Trump acknowledged he posted the image, but said he thought it was an image of him as a "doctor."

"Well, it wasn't a picture, it was me," the president said. "I did post it, and I thought it was me as the doctor and it had to do with Red Cross as a Red Cross worker there, which we support." ...

**** Iranian President Sends Pope Leo Well Wishes While Slamming Dummkopf Trumpf's AI Image as 'Desecration of Jesus' and 'Not Acceptable' ****

President of Iran Masoud Pezeshkian wrote on X (Monday 13 April):

"His Holiness Pope Leo XIV ... I condemn the insult to Your Excellency on behalf of the great nation of Iran, and declare that the desecration of Jesus, the prophet of peace and brotherhood, is not acceptable to any free person. I wish you glory by Allah."

Source: Iran Defends Pope

Footnote: The few anti-Nazi diplomats stuck working in the Foreign Ministry of the Third Reich quietly cheered when Der Fuhrer declared war on the US following Japan's attack on US forces at Pearl Harbor on 7 Dec 1941 because they knew what a blunder that was.
