rpannier's JournalWhy Do People Act So Confused About These Clowns and Their Unwavering Support
I've talked with people/saw people on line/etc who are surprised, in some cases confused about these clowns still being supportive of il douche. And have made it clear they have 100% belief in whatever he does.
And, I don't understand why they're surprised.
1. These are the same people you will see in the pews and watching the programs of that pink-haired evangelical charlatan Kat Kerr. You know, the woman who claims she's been to heaven and has seen the warehouse where God stores all the body parts, and if you pray and truly believe, an angel will be given an order and they will go and get the body part, wrap it in a gift box and install it in your body.
Betcha didn't know that becoming an angel you get to work at Heaven's Body Part Walmart.
She also claims to be a Weather Warrior and can stop hurricanes and tornadoes. And she'll train you to be one -- Weather Warrior, not a hurricane
Yes, her followers believe that.
2. These are the same people who for eight years were glued to their computer screens waiting for messages from Q.
You remember Q, the guy who, even if he/she were standing in a driving rain storm would incorrectly predict the weather.
Yes, the individual who they truly believed was a high ranking military official, or spy, who was revealing what was REALLY going on. Who told us the 'Storm was Coming.' That the military was ready to step in and return Trump to glory. The event that never came.
And no matter how many predictions NEVER came true, they still believed it was happening.
3. These are the same people who believed that for the zillionth time that Donald Trump was going to be reinstated as President; that the "truth of the steal in 2020" would be revealed. That when the Supreme Court saw the mountains of evidence either they would invalidate the election, or Joe Biden would willingly step aside.
Remember Jan 20, 2021. Or March 4. Or August 2021. Or maybe September 2021. Or just before Christmas 2021, or after 2021. Then there were the 2022 predictions and so on
And their leader in this cause -- some guy who sold pillows on TV at 2 am
4. These are the same people who went to Dallas, TX to see the return of JFK Jr, who was going to proclaim Donald Trump is the real president, and that he would be Trump's VP -- also, JFK at the age of over 100 would also show up.
Just in case you thought they couldn't be weirder -- one wing of these individuals believed that when JFK Jr showed up, we'd go back to using the Julian calendar -- just ask Mike Penny (a real person)
5. These are the same people who showed up in the hospital with injuries due to poisonings. Per HinduTimes, "... the deaths due to household disinfectants in the months January and February 2020 increased by 5% and 17% respectively while the months of March and April have seen an astronomical rise of 93% and 121%" because of Trump's comments.
6. These are the same people who bought Trump grift coins, got the trump credit card, got the trump trading cards, bought that obnoxious watch, the Trump Bible, even got the Melania coins.
7. These are the same people who get their medical advice from Joe Rogan, Aaron Rodgers, and Alex Jones, because... why listen to a doctor who has many years of medical knowledge... i guess.
8. These are the same people who believe that Donald Trump is going to reveal the International Cabal of World Elites that are Satanic Pedophiles who are Harvesting fluids from Children to let them live longer. Among these vile souls are included Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks? Yes, Tom Hanks.
Kind of curious why, after almost a decade, he hasn't revealed the evidence of Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Tom Hanks' evil. Which they say is coming any day now. Part of the Storm I guess.
9. These are the same people who believed that Trump was really the President behind the scenes during Biden's administration. That Joe Biden had no idea that Trump was running the show from Florida. That Biden would meet with people, and then those people would go and meet with Trump to make the real decisions.
When things worked his believers would say "That was Trump" Not work, "Biden was responsible."
I remember one woman saying Trump was running the military and Biden was running the economy.
You figure it out.
So, why should anyone be confused, perplexed, or whatever about anything those people do, say, think, or believe when it comes to their stupid loyalty to Donald Trump. Stop putting them on TV. Stop Talking About Them. Remind the public what they believe, instead of giving them 15-minutes of fame they do not deserve.
What Really Happened On The Most CHAOTIC Day In Parliament
This is a really strange event that shows what happens when someone clearly is out of their league
It's a real head shaker
Constitutional Court upholds Yoon's impeachment, removes him from office
Source: Yonhap News
The Constitutional Court upheld the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol on Friday, removing him from office over his short-lived imposition of martial law in December.
The verdict, which was read by acting court chief Moon Hyung-bae and televised live, took effect immediately, requiring the country to hold a snap presidential election to pick Yoon's successor within 60 days, which many expect to fall on June 3.
Yoon was impeached by the opposition-controlled National Assembly in mid-December on charges of violating the Constitution and laws by declaring martial law on Dec. 3, deploying troops to the National Assembly to stop lawmakers from voting down the decree and ordering the arrest of politicians.

The Unanimous was the most important
That the 6 Justices who were sitting on the Court last December voted for impeachment was important
His supporters claimed that adding 2 Justices was designed to get a definite conviction.
They lost that hill, that it was a corrupt move to secure a conviction, was very important
Supreme Court of Korea to deliver impeachment verdict, as the country waits and the police are on high alert
In about 2 hours the Supreme Court of the Republic of Korea will announce its verdict on whether to uphold President Yoon's impeachment.
Much of eastern Asia will be at a dead stop until the decision is rendered.
In Japan (where I work), almost the entire Ministries associated with Education, Finance, Internal Security, International Relations (my ministry), Military and a few others will all be watching the decision as it is rendered.
Many of the Ministries in China will also be watching. As will both countries national assemblies, and their leadership. North Korean, Vietnamese, and Taiwanese officials will watch as well.
South Korean Police have mobilized about 10% of the country's police force to surround the perimeter of the National Assembly, the Korean Supreme Court, the presidential residence, and the Gwanghwamun area (a common place to hold protests in Seoul).
Businesses in the area will mostly be closed. All schools in the area are also closed for the day (gives you an idea of how seriously concerned authorities are about violence -- Korea never closes schools unless it's serious -- I lived in Korea from 1999-2019. They seldom closed).
Subway stations in the area (like Anguk) will be closed. And subway lockers are sealed to prevent people from planting explosive devices.
There is a no-fly restriction around much of Seoul -- especially near the Court and Assembly. Drone jammers are being used by the police. Businesses, schools, and people who live in the area have cleared away flower pots, rocks, etc that could be used by angry people should the decision not go their way.
Universities have struggled to keep Yoon supporters who are not students at the school off their campuses. with EWHA being one of the most effected by right wing groups organized on youtube and ilbe.
Last January, Yoon supporters stormed a Seoul Courthouse.
The police have stepped up monitoring of people who own any kind of firearm; often used for hunting animals that have strayed into the downtown, the police are concerned that they may be used by disgruntled persons. Also, pellet guns are not unusual in Korea.
Yoon allies like far right pastor Jeon Kwang-hoon have been inflaming their followers with comments like, "If the Constitutional Court does something different, we will activate the people's right to resist and sweep them away with one sword."
The impact of the verdict will be interesting. If the impeachment is upheld, hopefully all 6 of the justices who were seated on the Court last December will vote to uphold it. This has been a source of contention (the addition of 2 more) by Yoon's supporters. If all 6 vote to uphold it, they lose that hill to stand upon.
It's 9:10 am as of posting in Japan and Korea
The Distilled Spirits Council of America needs to push Chris Swonger out as spokesghoul
While talking with the CBC he said this:
"We appreciate and recognize President Trump is trying to grapple with some broader issues with the Canadian government and Prime Minister Trudeau, but our industry should not be involved in these tit for tat battles because we're an industry of one. We're an industry that has enjoyed great growth... (and yada yada)"
He is playing "Trump is dealing with problems with Canada." As if Canada is the problem, not Trump. Trump is merely trying to right a wrong.
F him. Maybe if the moron and the stupid states most of his bottlers are in hadn't voted Trump, he wouldn't be in this mess
If I still had facebook, I'd let them know I will never buy American alcohol anywhere, ever again.
I do feel badly for Brough Brothers. Their company is small, and just getting going. He seems like a nice guy. Lost his deal with the New Brunswick Board

The title is a bit hyperbolic. Especially since the video is quite disciplined with some good humor thrown in

King. Queen. Jack..?
https://nowiknow.com/kings-and-queens-are-royals-but-whats-a-jack/#google_vignettesnip
To start, original decks were even less egalitarian than today’s. As seen below (via here), all three face cards depicted men (and, as an aside, there was no separate Ten card). In English, those three ranks were referred to as the King, Knight (on horseback), and Knave (sword, tights, and funny hat). The King was royalty, but the others were support — men in service of the king.
When playing cards spread to France, the French swapped the Knight out for the Queens we have today, for reasons unknown, and the Queen became the preferred representation of the penultimate rank throughout the world shortly thereafter. The Knave, however, remained the same, ranking just below the Knight-turned-Queen.
“Knave” remained the name of choice for about two centuries — at least if you were an upper-crust type. In the English language generally, as Etymology Online notes, “Jack became a generic name applied familiarly or contemptuously to anybody (especially a young man of the lower classes) from late 14th century.” As a knave is “a tricky deceitful fellow” per Merriam-Webster, the two are somewhat interchangeable. It wasn’t the type of language proper peopled used, though, and the card-playing elite were typically proper people. So while some commoners and laborers used the term “Jack” instead of “Knave” while playing cards, it was rare otherwise — and often seen as uncultured if not uncouth. For example, in the 1861 Charles Dickens novel “Great Expectations,” the narrator-protagonist, Pip, is playing cards with his love interest, Estelle. When Pip uses the term “Jack” instead of “Knave,” Estelle uses it as a basis to judge Pip’s worth:
snip
But around the time Great Expectations coincidentally came out, card designs shifted. In order to allow players to fan out their cards, as seen in the image at the top (and you can make the fan much tighter), card makers began printing the cards’ ranks in the corners. The Knave was labeled “Kn,” with the “n” added to distinguish it from “K”-labeled Kings. Card manufacturers looked for a solution, and Jack — despite the low-class connotation it came with — won out. Being proper, it seems, was less important than having an unmistakable “J” in the corner of one’s cards.
