several sets boots

one struggling in the centerthrashing yankedup come down sixseven feet further on  appeared he was wearing flipflops

almost to the vacant garage a flipflop

another sixseven foot heist

flipflop  sock

                wasnt barefooted

What the fuck?

Yeah. He did joke that he liked to wear flipflops in the house because they tripped him and he liked to believe he was agile enough not to fall on his face.

That’s stupid. a third said

Yeah? Try it.

Have you?

pointed to his forehead a scar

                                  Coffee table.

Shaddup guys.

He won’t be in there. Pro job. Partial sketchy tire tracks other side of the building.

You think . .

. . I believe.

You think we get bupkis?

Nada. Not a fuckin’ thing. Pros, man, pros.

   Maybe. Or maybe we find the other flipflop.

Maybe.

         If they have a sense of humor.

formers transcript

                   still hasnt found/read Vances available at The New York Times if one has a subscription plausible deniability

did find formers

a lot of crap

amongst it this gem

                      “And a very special thank you to the extraordinary people of Milwaukee and the great state of Wisconsin for hosting this outstanding convention. And by the way, Wisconsin, we are spending over $200 million dollars here, creating jobs and other economic development all over the place – I hope you will remember this and give us your vote in November! We will Make Wisconsin Great Again, I promise.” 

he promises

a liar promises

well see if his campaign pays its security bills

another beaut

                “Less than four years ago, we were a great nation, and soon we will be a great nation again. With proper leadership, every disaster we are now enduring will be fixed – and fixed quickly.”

howbout four years ago he might have said five years ago if he and his speechwriters were smart

couldnt pinpoint July 18, 2020 although did find an interview with Robert Anderson, the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) Mortality Statistics Chief

                                             “. . . the 385,000 deaths that we would refer to as ‘involving COVID-19.’ The other 34,000 would be death in which COVID-19 was a contributing factor but not the underlying case.”

COVID-19 exacerbated their existing diseases

a real charmer that would have Reagan playing with himself

                                                                 “We will replenish our military, and build an Iron Dome Missile Defense System to ensure that no enemy can strike our homeland (the Fatherland/das Vaterland) – and this great Iron Dome will all be MADE IN THE USA.”

OFFICE DEPOT

not an advertisement

OFFICIOUS DEPOT

why the hell would a corporation believe  theyd have to believenot think   believe acronyming itself as O D was smartsavvy

               was trying to imagine the sales pitch

Office Depot.  O D.  Get it?

he hoped someone their head not up their ass asked O D?  Overdose.

No. Of course not. You see overdose is a single word, it isn’t over dose, so we’re not  not implying   overdose, the one word. We’re trying to brighten the image, buff the tarnish, fix the pallor of O D.

   to be fair he hadnt been into an Office Depot in a very long time

it could be that it expanded its facility its faculty  as COSTCO had   which now sells Coffins and Caskets and Urns Oh My  Follow the yellow brick road.

could be

loyalty

    he hears that a lot

MAGAsters (MAGA + monsters) buffoons should prostrate themselves before “the Dear Leader”CHRIST

                                                                                                            give him a break

1953  Group for the Advancement of Psychiatry under the leadership of William Menninger met to discuss the psychological effects of loyalty oaths

“Considerations Regarding the Loyalty Oath as a Manifestation of Current Social Tension and Anxiety”

oaths were “only one manifestation in a growing general trend towards the enforcement of conformity of thinking and acting.” endangering the development of the ego  restricting access to “the object world” distorting the development of a “workable super-ego” by “emphasizing the external threat at the expense of self-responsibility” threatening “the ego-ideal appropriate to a free and democratic society by introducing increasingly contradictory ideals and by depreciating the image and model value of the teacher (academic theoretical pedagogy).”

“ego: part of psyche (human soul mind spirit) responsible for ones sense of self their ability to interact with the outside world

“super-ego: ethical component of the personality that provides moral standatrds bywhich the ego operates

“ego-ideal: the standards ideals ambitions according to the psychoanalytic (Freudian) theory are assimilated from the super-ego”

those are the cogs

                    now whether the followers could read or could understand those words were another matter

    he wasnt a betting man but FUCK  he was awfully tempted

loyalty = slavish devotion

former = sociopath

                     one who has no regard for right or wrong ignores the rights and feelings of others

former = narcissist*

                      succinctly its all about them

loyalists remind him of bugs  particularly ant society
