Known for his improvised & volatile performances, #Trump is now ending many of his rallies w/ churchlike ritual & casting his prosecutions as persecution.
“The great silent majority is rising like never before & under our leadership,” #Trump recites from a teleprompter in a typical version of the script. “We will pray to God for our strength & for our liberty. We will pray for God & we will pray w/God. We are one movement, one people, one family & one glorious nation under God.”
The meditative ritual might appear incongruent w/the raucous epicenter of the nation’s #conservative movement, but #Trump’s political creed stands as one of the starkest examples of his effort to transform the #GOP into a kind of #ChurchOfTrump. His insistence on absolute #devotion & #fealty can be seen at every level of the party, from #Congress to the #RNC to rank-&-file #voters.
Somehow I got my comic out - so...I hope you like my sloth dreams because the theme of past 2 weeks has been: I wish I could have a human zoo-keeper who would care for my every need so I could just stop humaning for a while.

The Goonies (1985)
.
How did the Astoria Historical Museum just completely overlook being in possession of an authentic One-Eyed Willy treasure map in The Goonies? I mean, maybe Mikey's Dad is just really bad at being a historian, or maybe funding for the historical society was lacking, but not discovering the wreck of The Inferno earlier seems like archeological malpractice, imho.
