Similarities and observations

There was a scene in the final episode of Game of Thrones when the "families" were deciding who should be King and how he should be chosen.  The smartest guy on the "panel" suggested that maybe EVERYONE should be involved in the selection process..........there was a long pause and then laughter started and comments were made that dogs and horses should be consulted.

I actually heard the entire 2019 Republican Party laughing and it got really loud in my head and I had to take 2 Advil.

The ladies in the show were central to the entire series and at the end the big hero just got on her horse and rode off into the sunset or wherever Mr. Martin thought she might be comfortable with her face changing abilities.  She'll probably get her own show and somehow she will team up with the dragon and train it to talk and play Pokemon.

One last question.....how did that ice wall grow back so fast?
It's resurrection was faster than people forgetting what a douche bag Trump is and getting ready to support him for another four years.

Yesterday my brother said that every economic indicator in the country was stronger than it's ever been and I mentioned the debt and he calmly said that Obama's was higher.

What show is he watching?

I'm really not surprised that GOP supporters are trying to build a positive case for 2020 and the reelection of the silliest President we've ever had. I'm not surprised...just baffled.

The guy's just silly.

He makes things up and he denies everything and anything that might indicate he's goofy.

The real danger is if he sees it slipping away he will instigate a war with IRAN so that people will be afraid to change leaders.

The guy's just silly......but he's also extremely dangerous for the simple reason that he thinks everything he does is the right thing for America.

I believe he believes that and as I recall history lessons on this planet I seem to recall every single dickhead tyrant and asshole leader THOUGHT EXACTLY THE SAME WAY.

Narcissism is an over used word in today's society due to the fact that baby boomers use it too often to describe millennials and the x-gens.

We can't help it.

We see things that younger people can't see.....and although that's a hugely general statement it's a statement of fact.

WE'VE SEEN WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LET SOMEBODY CREATE A FOG AND THEN BLAME THE FOG ON THE STORM FROM LAST YEAR

IT'S ALWAYS THE OTHER GUY OR THE OTHER GAL

IT'S NEVER THE ONE WHO IS THE ONE
IT'S ALWAYS THE OTHER

There's a line in a James Lee Burke novel (The New Iberia Blues) that sums up so much of what I feel about the new understanding I have of the Republican Party.

" I wouldn't call it an epistemological breakthrough, but it is a beginning."

And since I brought him along on this ride I might as well expound a bit.

James Lee Burke writes some of the best paragraphs I have ever read....and his stories, while quite often create mental images that aren't welcomed, always entertain while at the same time reveal a truly gifted English linguist.  He reveals a subtle part of soul awareness that makes his work strangely spiritually optimistic.

Strangely spiritually optimistic

Since I just wrote those words and can't ever remember writing them before, in conjunction with each other, I'd like to think that 
I
am
strangely spiritually optimistic.

Of course Neo-Illuminations would verify that statement
but
since only 
327 people know about Neo-Illuminations 
it remains for time and history to reinforce the
truth
of
whether or not
I
am
strangely spiritually optimistic.

I highly suggest James Lee Burke for your fictional summer reading list and wish to add one last comment regarding reading books.

Have you ever noticed how snobbish people are who say they don't read fiction?

By the way did you notice how the Dragon mommy and Thanos seem to have a lot in common regarding species cleansing.......

I'm thinking  Daenerys Targaryn and Tony Stark will unite in the next level of particle reality and the Starks and Targaryn families will finally bring peace and
a
strangely spiritually optimistic
attitude
to
the
entire
UNIVERSE

But they have to somehow
stop
John Wick

Not only did John Wick kill 1000 bad guys this last weekend....he killed
the Avengers

WOW!

I'm thinking John Wick might last longer than Star Wars.

I can't wait for Chapter 24

out for now
