Hundreds of people gathered in Dealey Plaza in Dallas TX to see JFK Jr announce he's Trump's running mate in 2024. Why? Who? What? How?

For those not in the know. John F. Kennedy 35th president was shot at Dealey Plaza on Nov. 22 1963. John F. Kennedy Jr. died in a plane crash on July 16 1999. Why would a dead man announce his candidacy at the location his father was murdered? Who really believes this? What do they think he'll do?

That's the short answer. I just can't believe that many people believe it. I know we have to avoid politics, but wouldn't JFK jr. be on the opposite side? What in his life makes them think he would run with Trump?

The bigger question; what will these people do when they realize they've been played and made fools of for years?
 


I thought it was a rampant sauna.

I think I want to write an encounter featuring a rampant sauna.....
I’d do it as a variant of Baba Yaga’s hut. One that releases scalding steam as an attack.

You can appease it by agreeing to bathe inside. Which also deals heat damage initially, but in the end results in restoration or something similar...

It’s no longer politics in any meaningful sense. This has metastasized into cult behavior:

1) their mythology on why he’d change affiliation is he faked his death to avoid assassination by Hillary Clinton and her cronies in the Democratic Party.

2) certain Qpublicans have used something akin to numerology to “reveal” that the Kennedy family are descendants of Jesus Christ. Because of this, when JFK, Jr. failed to appear in Dealey Plaza, they declared he would make the announcement at The Rolling Stones concert a few miles away and later that day: “Rolling away the stone from his crypt” => “The Rolling Stones”. In addition, some suggested JFK himself would ALSO reappear.

3) Qpublicans interviewed that day, while disappointed JFK, Jr. (and pop) didn’t manifest, were not dissuaded. Paraphrasing: “(They) didn’t show up because it wasn’t safe to do so. It will be rescheduled.”

IOW, just like OTHER cults, a prophesy’s failure is not its refutation, merely evidence of a failure of understanding. A misinterpretation of signs.

If the above doesn’t sufficiently illustrate the cult of Trump enough, here’s a poorly executed painting of a naked Biden & Harris being cast out of the White House by a bewinged, sword-wielding Trump, a la the expulsions Adam & Eve from the Garden of Eden by an angel of the Lord.

I can’t help but think of how many of the 10 Commandments the Qpublicans- most of whom claim Christianity as their faith- are ignoring at this point. Mahatma Ghandi’s comment about liking Christianity but not Christians springs immediately to mind.

Metastasized is a good word. I'm hearing about Qanon, Trump, and Confederate flags appearing in other countries. An antivaxx protest in Germany had Confederate flags. 🥺 podcasts and YouTube channels I subscribe to are all talking about the cult. The cognitive dissonance is scary. He didn't show up because it's not safe? He'll reschedule?

I think it's safe to say on January 6th most of the commandments were broken. I'm not sure they apply anymore.
 

Jack had a day. Oy. :rolleyes:

In a three-hour period, I lifted a ton of weight. No, literally, one ton of weight.

Had to come in about an hour early to stack scrap pallets so the truck could come haul them away and return with a load of fresh pallets. I put 530 pallets on the truck.

Pallets get stacked in stacks of twenty, which are just an inch or two taller than I am with my arms raised. Most of them I stacked with the forklift, but there were probably at least 50-60 or so that I had to stack by hand.

A standard wooden 48 x 40 pallet weighs 38 lbs., which means that over the course of a three-hour period, I lifted somewhere in the vicinity of one ton of weight, a fair bit of it over my head.

Jack is a tough bastard, but Jack is now a really damn tired tough bastard, lol.
 

I couldn't do that now, but when I worked for Pepsi, I would build orders of 110 to 130 cases of soda.

12 oz per can, 24 cans per case = 288 fl oz

if this was just water, then 1 gal weighs 8.3 lbs and 1 case = 2.25 gallons

110 x 2.25= 247.5 gallons or 2054.25 lbs, or 2427.75 lbs for a stack of 130 cases. this we would do20 times per person for 6 to 14 hours a night. Those weights do not include the weight of the aluminum cans, sugar in the drink, glass bottles or the pallet we built it on.
