            You know you’ve watched Dune too many times when you start to see parallels between the way prepared by Jessica and Stilgar, and the current jockeying by Pelosi and Schumer. Are we chanting Lisan al-Gaib at the postponed DNC? Schiff of Tabr? To November! The choice was the Dem nominee or the end of democracy, so you’ll forgive me if I’m not flattered.

            The building of the best narrative, the gathering of a large tent, the necessity of correct timing. Then the almighty talk. If not Dune then Kingdom of Heaven or Royal Gemstones. God wills it, Jesse! Things gotta look right for the people.

      I really hope if for no other reason that I spent a fair bit of time in 2020 telling my friends that Biden wouldn’t make it all the way to the end of his term. I wish the guy well but I love being right.

        You’re not right you fucking moron, so much so that he’s literally running for pres again, that’s how not right you are you fucking idiot.

        spent a fair bit of time in 2020 telling my friends that Biden wouldn’t make it all the way to the end of his term.

        god that’s pathetic, a fair bit of time? You just hounding your peeps begging them to listen to your Biden-will-die-in-office theories? Lord knows they know just how fucking braindead you are.
