Oh, sweet baby Jesus... You have to hand it ("it" in this case being a flaming bag of dog poo) to the Republican National Committee for masterfully trolling America on Sacred Baby Jebus Day with their "controversial" official message celebrating Christmas.
The only possible thing about this, is, I was thinking for the past few years, financial inequity has gotten so absurdly out of kilter, that surely we are heading for a revolution of some sort. Then, to my horror, there did seem to be a "revolution," but the Republicans had persuaded the poor that they should revolt against US--literally, by lying to them that WE were the cause of the problems. A revolution--but in FAVOR of the rich! However, now, it's so ghastly, and so corrupt, and so dreadful, that I actually think we, now, WILL have the revolution, and it will be US, against the ultra-rich and corrupt after all. So, in a completely twisted, pretzel-logic sort of way, I choose to feel vaguely optimistic.
The new King thing is pretty awkward, and stupid. But the denials that assure us that "Christ is king and was born to save us all" sound like they're coming from the Christian Taliban, which is not any more comforting. Okay folks, the new, pussy grabbing Messiah is ushering in a purely Christian nation. Grab your rosary beads, and bend over...
Snorted over the keyboard on that one...

Yes! Exactly! Like Caligula, only less attractive!
^^^This. 100% this.
Okay. It's hard to keep this stuff straight.

Dammit, that made me spray beer out of my nose. Now I have that unpleasant water-up-your-nose feeling. But it was worth it.

Also, the people never elected Caligula -- we're especially favored to have chosen Cheeto Benito to rule over us.
