The Shit is Now Real for MAGAtown

[Aviation Pro]

It's no coincidence that Loose Banana Cannon indefinitely postponed the documents trial on the same day that Stormy Daniels cut Motherfucker's flaccid penis off. All of MAGAthood thought this was just another installment of reality TV, but now they are facing the real and growing possibility that that fucking sack of shit is going to prison.

And once President Biden is returned to office with Democratic majorities in the House and Senate the insurrectionists currently infesting Congress will be duly rounded up under the new, hyperaggressive DoJ leadership headed by AG Sally Yates.

Time to clean out the Augean Stables.

2. From your keyboard

Neither personal nor political.

3. Aegean stables. Great reference. Very apt for the amount of sh*t Donnie and his magats generate...

[PCIntern]

41. It is "Augean"

Sorry. 🥺

[whopis01]

42. The Agean Stables are where they kept the seahorses.

(couldn't resist)

[unblock]

43. !

Wow! King augeus had nothing to do with the Aegean Sea!

Who knew?

We must have read the same cliff notes in high school

[GreenWave]

4. And IQ 45 should face charges of treason.

[Captain Zero]

6. Especially because Nauta's phone had TS docs

On it that were shown to others.

Saw that one today.

[Irish_Dem]

29. TS docs on Nauta's phone?

For the love of god, why the h were they on his phone?

[Hekate]

30. Two probable reasons: TSF had a habit of grabbing other people's phones for things he didn't want on his own

And second, Nauta may have moronically thought this was a very cool situation to share with his pals.

Either way, Nauta is screwed.

[Irish_Dem]

31. Makes sense.

Who knows, maybe he was selling the info too.
A little perk of the job.

Nauta is a US Navy veteran, so he absolutely knew what he was doing was wrong.

[NJCher]

33. yes, I believe in not only stomping them into the ground

but decimating them by grinding them with the heel of my garden boots.

Either that or just cut them in half like you do with a slug or certain grubs.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

44. Does the indefinite postponement include Nauta?

And others?

[speak easy]

7. Sedition.

[Wounded Bear]

5. Augean...nt

9. Wasn't That Last One One of the Twelve Labors of Hercules?

[NanaCat]

22. The 5th labour

He said he'd clean up all the dung in the stables of King Augeus in a day, and accomplished it by piling all the filth to one part of the barn. He dug a giant hole on one side of the barn, knocked out some walls (I guess it didn't have doors on opposite walls for air flow), built trenches to the barn on one side and between barn and hole on the other. Then he diverted the river to the trench going toward it.

Water washed out all the dung into the hole. He did have the help of one of the princes. Forget his name now.

The king tried to renege on the deal he made with Hercules for the job (1/10 of his cattle herd as payment). Hercules took him to court and won, thanks to the prince testifying that the deal did exist. The King banished them and I don't think Hercules ever got the cattle. But it's been a while since that Classical antiquities course. I'm sure I've forgotten or misremembered plenty of the entire tale.

26. It was a Labor meant to humiliate

... but instead, went BADLY the other way:

"The fifth Labour of Heracles (Hercules in Latin) was to clean the Augean (/ɔːˈdʒiːən/) stables. Eurystheus intended this assignment both as humiliating (rather than impressive, like the previous labours) and as impossible, since the livestock were divinely healthy (immortal) and therefore produced an enormous quantity of dung. Those stables had not been cleaned in over thirty years,[12] and 3,000 cattle lived there. However, Heracles succeeded by rerouting the rivers Alpheus and Peneus to wash out the filth.

Augeas reacted angrily because he had promised Heracles one tenth of his cattle if the job was finished in one day. He refused to honour the agreement, and Heracles killed him after completing the tasks. Heracles gave his kingdom to Phyleus, Augeas' son, who had been exiled for supporting Heracles against his father."

37. Alas, for classical education

Wikipedia is no substitute for learning in the original Greek a story that was bowdlerized by the Romans.

[Hekate]

32. Applause for remembering more than I. All I recalled was he diverted a river to sluice out the barn

[justaprogressive]

23. Yes..

Hercules directed a river through the stables to clean them, just like modern corporations...

21. Sorry to say but I'm not confident of a Democratic Senate majority next session

Republicans are certain to pick up Manchin's seat in WV, and, Hogan is currently well ahead in MD for another Republican pickup. Dems are defending far more senate seats in 2024 than Republicans are, some of them in States that normally vote Republican. I think we will have to defeat Cruz in TX to retain the Senate.

[NJCher]

36. Here's the status in Maryland

from an article dated April 7. If anyone has updates, please provide them:

Ben Cardin this November, when control for the Senate is up for grabs. The longtime safe blue seat, in a state President Joe Biden carried by over 30 points in 2020, is now suddenly competitive, complicating the calculus for Democrats as they look to defend around half a dozen more vulnerable seats in order to retain their slim Senate majority.

Meanwhile, Democrats remain divided over who to select as their nominee in the May 14 primary. It’s become an increasingly contentious two-way contest between Rep. David Trone, a three-term congressman and founder of the beverage retailer Total Wine & More, and Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks, a former state attorney for the county.

With the contours of the race are still taking shape, Democrats are already signaling they plan to nationalize the race and tie Hogan to the most extreme elements of his party, even as Hogan tries to run as an independent-minded candidate and keep his distance from former President Donald Trump.

“He’s going to vote and caucus with Republicans. So let’s get that idea that he’s some sort of, you know, bipartisan individual – that’s just not true,” Trone told CNN during an interview at his campaign headquarters. “He’s Mitch McConnell’s prized recruit.”

One advantage we have is that Hogan does not really want to do this run for the Senate seat. We could demoralize him and minimize his candidacy, as we have in a few other races.

24. We better hope Stormy's digression into details of her sex with Trump in a case that is based on accounting and

documents doesn't lead to a declaration of a mistrial on appeal. The judge maintains it was up to the defense to contests her digression. I hope an appeals court agrees.

[Aviation Pro]

25. Her testimony sets the table for the accounting and election interference

There was no foul and the defense didn't object, so fuck them and Motherfucker.

Clifford emasculated these fucking pukes.

[Demsrule86]

28. Excellent posts...rec

[GarySeven]

34. Not sure how apt the Augean Stables metaphor is

The two rivers did all the work for Heracles (not Hercules); also, King Augeus refused to pay since Eurystheus assigned the task - and banished Heracles to boot. In short, it's a metaphor for smelly, dirty work that only benefited a bunch of cows and only left the doer covered in shit.

[Aviation Pro]

38. Yet most people associate the metaphor with....

....cleaning out the shit clogging up the drain.

[bringthePaine]

35. thx! made my day👍🥳

[KPN]

39. Would be a dream come true. Dreams can be within reach; hopefully, this is one of them.

It certainly is not beyond the realm of possibility. Which is why this election actually is the most important one in our lifetime's. GOTV!!

[onetexan]

40. Agree, Sally Yates or Preet Bharara!!

[flying_wahini]

45. Sally Yeats would make the GOP shit a brick simultaneously.

It’s no wonder the GOP will do WHATEVER it takes to win. The GOP has thrown in the towel of ethics long ago. Biden has to remain alive and well enough through the elections. I fear for him.

[hadEnuf]

46. Wait for it....

B-b-but Bill Clinton had sex with someone toooooo....
