its largest retail establishment has a trademarked symbol which is a representation of a penis with Peyronies Disease, nothing, but nothing is neither off the table nor what it seems.
It appears to this observer that the powers that be are readying the populace for the demise of its Great Leader. All these leaks, all this implausible deniability, all this emphasis by the major media outlets is indicative of a movement generated from within to ready the nation for a transition.
Why do I feel this way? Because to any sentient individual, to any clinically trained and experienced practitioner in health care, and to any measure, this man has been going downhill for a very long time and, importantly, manifest clear psychopathology during his entire public existence as well as before that, according to his family members. Those of us who have been screaming this for anywhere from five years to decades were either ignored or laughed off until very recently.
Every excuse in the lexicon of forgivenesses was utilized by the MSM until recently, when it is clear and obvious that the go-ahead has been given to let the hammer fall. This is across the board. I shall present one case in particular.
The erstwhile faux-rapper, wannabe-black guy Ari Melber has for years been the voice of legal objectivity at what was formerly called MSNBC, now renamed MSNOW. Every statement he would make on his show would be prefaced by disclaimers such as we must say allegedly and we must deal in objective facts, not rhetoric or unverified opinion. Now, he is openly calling the man in the White House a liar, unfit to hold office, unwell, and likely very very ill. Instead of mitigating his guests critical opinions, he is now amplifying them, sometimes to their obvious surprise on air.
Melber is no radical: hes a corporate opportunist who does as hes told. The difference between him and others is that hes obvious: wears his heart on his sleeve so to speak. Not known for subtlety, his turnabout is sudden and obvious.
Now there are those of you who will counter my thesis by stating that its just so obvious now that the media is just figuring this out. Please allow me to say that most of us with three brain cells knew that Trump was a sick fuck fraud in the 1980s. We knew he was at the very least a lying, lecherous pervert, who was clearly covering for his weirdnesses by surrounding himself with beautiful women, one after another. Its what these men do, so nobody can say that theyre anything but a highly desirable heterosexual fellow who has nothing but the finest taste in women.
Ive known these guys my entire life. Make no mistake: theyre creeps. Thats the word for them, except this creep inherited untold millions of dollars and a willing New York press corps who made additional millions promoting him in every which way. They created a psychopathological monster, the human equivalent of The Blob, gaining strength from the energies of those around it, finally achieving unimaginable size and power.
But the powers are ebbing faster and faster, and the end is nigh and they know it. You will see cracks forming and spreading and enlarging faster and faster. The process has begun, much like when the funeral dirges would be played on the radio in the old Soviet Union when a Premier would be on his deathbed or be deceased but it had yet to be announced formally. Our version of the funereal music is now playing and it will be just a matter of time.

(4,963 posts)... it also symbolizes a smile, and an arrow indicating "A to Z". I seem to recall reading some years ago that it was a big part of the reason Bozo named the company "AMAZON" in the first place.
I was unaware of the existence of Petronie's disease until just a few minutes ago. Now it's forever burned into my brainpan. Thanks... I think.
