No way to know, but at least one Trump cultist on my FB feed believes it’s real. Actual Trump worshipers are showing up more and more often. One very prominent (and wealthy) Lubbock contractor and activist refers to Trump as “God’s President.” Right Wing Watch runs daily stories about this burgeoning religion.

If Trump goes down hard next election, I expect these Trump cultists (and I suspect many of them may well think that Trump is the Messiah returned) will have their feelings of persecution complex - of which they already have a terminal collective case - cranked up through the roof.
So let me get this straight, right-wing supporters of a president who owns a $100 million 24 karat gold-plated plane are arguing that AOC paying the market rate for a woman’s haircut is excessive? What a bunch of hypocritical sexist bullshit.

After WWII, Austria was chopped into pieces like Germany, including Vienna. Stayed that way until 1955, when Austria again gained status as an independent state. The KGB established Vienna as it’s major control center within Western Europe. Even after 1955, Vienna remained it’s primary foothold into NATO.
So when the Rudy Twodies tried to fly to Vienna last night and got nabbed at Dulles, it was, well, kind of a tell that maybe they didn’t want to testify to Congress. Because they were born in Russia, and still working for Russia, and the Russians still have a fair amount of influence in Vienna because the city still has the biggest KGB presence in the west (Oh, is it another acronym now, my dears? It is the still the fucking KGB, and a former senior member is the President of Russia.) and they figured they could get transported back to the Rodinya more safely from there than any other city in Europe.
And today we learned that Roody Calloodie was scheduled fly to Vienna today.
What a fucking coincidence! Shocked, shocked, I say.
I’d say Roody’s shelf life just expired. He’s now an albatross around Drumpfs’ neck, and we know how well that goes for any problem.
Well, sorry for the drive-by, but I spent today looking into a fairly deep dive of post-WWII Austrian history and found some juicy stuff. Everyone involved in this is fucked up to the eyeballs.

I didn’t know Giuliani was planning a trip to Vienna - of course, that probably broke overnight here in Czech Republic and I was asleep.

Meanwhile, in Brexit-related news, there are rumors floating around that BoJo is getting ready to toss Northern Ireland under the bus.
And then, with amazing timing, this guest column appears in the Telegraph (a well-known Tory mouthpiece):
The EU talks are still in danger of collapsing because of Northern Ireland at a time when the majority of people who live there think they will be part of a united Ireland within ten years, according to Lord Ashcroft’s September poll.
Northern Ireland has long been a millstone round the neck of the rest of the UK and to fail to take back our independence because of it would be an historic tragedy. It is not widely known that it costs the UK more to support Northern Ireland than it does to be in the EU.
…..
Accepting customs checks at the Irish Sea would allow the EU negotiations to be successfully concluded and remains the best solution, but if the DUP continues to block this obvious remedy, then a referendum on Irish unity will be the best way forward for everyone, in Northern Ireland, the republic and the rest of the UK.
Yep. Looks to me like the UK government is thinking of sacrificing Northern Ireland in order to achieve Brexit.

If Brexit brings about a united Ireland, that would be one good thing to come of it. The Brexiteers seemed determined to tear down the UK if that’s what it takes to achieve Brexit. The Unionists in Northern Ireland are getting thrown under the bus and learning that the English right’s xenophobia extends to them as well.

Quite honestly, a border in the Irish Sea is the logical solution to the UK’s Brexit impasse. The only reason former PM May was unable to achieve Brexit was because she was forced to rely on DUP support in the Parliament to maintain majority status.
At this point, quite bluntly, the Tories have nothing to lose. They’re a minority government for all intents and purposes, so PM Johnson can tell the DUP to fuck off. Mind you, Farage will almost certainly make hay about this, but it’s a political calculation - if the Tories can achieve Brexit by the October 31st deadline, they stand to win a majority at the next election and then they won’t need to worry about Farage and his Brexit Party, as they’ll become instantly irrelevant once Brexit is done and dusted.
And if that means losing Northern Ireland?
So be it. The Tories will take that chance. Frankly, they’d be fools not to.

Yeah, I’m not seeing how they do this with just 20 days to go before the deadline. There’s no way in hell you’re going to throw together a referendum in Northern Ireland to address the issue, and the EU has told you that there’s no fucking way that they’ll accept either a hard border or “the technologies” as a means of ensuring shit doesn’t go sideways on Oct 31st. So unless I’ve missed somewhere in the op-ed where they hold the referendum after Boris seeks another extension on Brexit, there’s no fucking way that such a “solution” would be workable in the time available.

If the UK crashes out of the EU, the EU doesn’t have any say in whether a hard border goes up in Ireland or not.
re: #61 NO SMOCKING GUN!
If the UK crashes out of the EU, the EU doesn’t have any say in whether a hard border goes up in Ireland or not.
The Tories have spent a good portion of the last 3 years swearing up and down there would never be a hard border in Ireland, if only because doing so would effectively void the Good Friday Agreement and potentially plunge the UK back into “The Troubles.” And I’m not sure about the EU, but Pelosi served notice weeks ago that any outcome that violated the Agreement would mean no US/UK trade agreements post-Brexit. Hence desperation moves like suggesting ejecting North Ireland in order to make Brexit happen.

Well they have 20 days left, so less than three weeks left to watch this slow motion train wreck unless they end up getting another extension.

That’s what it is - a desperation move by BoJo to get Brexit done by the deadline and partly a belated recognition of reality, that a border in the Irish Sea is the logical solution to Brexit that doesn’t create problems with the Good Friday Agreement.
And the DUP has outlived their usefulness to the Tories anyway, so they can throw them under the Brexit bus without too many pangs of conscience.

I honestly can’t see any real outcome that doesn’t lead to utter chaos by this point. The fact that we’re hearing all sorts of desperation plays now seems (IMHO) more like Boris trying to talk himself into accepting another extension in defiance of the money-men who want this over with before the end of December. If another extension is sought, I guarantee it will not go past Dec 31st, if only because the men bankrolling Brexit are scared to death of EU anti-tax evasion laws kicking in Jan 1st.
