#and then came the maga hat

[pierogisfilledwithpaint]

so, a few weeks ago i was on amazon because i was missing something in my collection. i owned the cd to tpwbyt and tmbte but not sundowning and i searched a lot but sadly only amazon sold the cd. i put it in the cart but i found something else on amazon that was uhhhh interesting...

they sell a shitty looking plush of vessel?! and no all the official merch stores dont even have this plush and i was left with a lot of questions. is this a rip off from a fan plush? who came up with the idea to make a plush like this? and why do i want to buy him?

and i actually did buy him together with sundowning and it took i think two or three weeks but he finally arrived and he looked just as shitty as in the amazon pictures and i LOVE HIM

also the image quality of the following pictures might not be the best, sorry in advance

here he is in all his plushy glory

the little symbol on his forehead looks... wonky to put it nicely and i dont know if you see this in the second picture but his cape is only sewn onto his head and...

... this feels very wrong.

anyway i cut the seam connecting the head with the cape and it looks better but sometimes the hood slides over his face and he cant see anything anymore but thats still better than whatever was going on before.

oh and another important thing

plushia, mcgyver (the squishmallow in the background) and plush vessel are friends!!!! :D

im still thinking if he should get a little nickname, because you know the ghost fandom named plush copia plushia but i cant come up with a fitting nickname? veslush? plushell? vlush? his nickname is a work in progress because my brain is bad at coming up with nicknames (；・∀・)

and by the way sundowning still hasnt arrived, its been almost a whole month looks like the trilogy will be incomplete for a while ☠️

I just hope these next 4 years go by fast

This election isn't just about the next four years. With Trump in the White House and a Republican Senate at his side, the MAGA movement can pick up where they left off when it comes to packing the federal judiciary with right-wing judges who will control the Supreme Court and appellate courts throughout the country potentially for the rest of the lives of everyone reading this right now. It's the perfect recipe for them to continue stripping reproductive rights away from women nationwide and gives them the opportunity to turn their attention to the other issues that they have been dying to attack, from voting rights to gay marriage and every other extension of personal freedom that has been won by minorities and marginalized people in hard-fought battles over the past 60 years. This is the nightmare scenario that people have been warning folks about for the past few elections. It's here. And there isn't going to be a way to put the toothpaste back in the tube.

The consequences of this election will have a direct, negative impact on your life -- possibly on the entire remainder of your life. This country just re-elected a President with authoritarian tendencies who is the willing puppet of a dangerous Christian nationalist movement that figured out exactly how to manipulate him (through flattery) for their aims. They have created the perfect vehicle for a genuine cult of personality that they can use to achieve the goals they have been very clear about striving for over the past few years. And you can't blame anybody other than the American voters because they not only elected Trump, but they gave him a fucking mandate, with a Republican Senate and potentially a Republican House. They already have a right-wing dominated Supreme Court for the next few decades, and now they are going to ensure that the entire federal judiciary is in their control for years to come. And don't forget the fact that a few months ago, the Supreme Court handed down a decision that gave Presidents sweeping immunity for a broad (and conveniently undefined) range of "official" acts, so Trump is going to go into this second term knowing that not only does he not have to deal with the "guardrails" of responsible adults he had around him in his first term (Mattis, Tillerson, Kelly, General Milley, etc), but he knows he can get away with virtually anything and everything that he wants to do this time around. If you thought that Trump's first term was bad, just understand that they are prepared this time and now he's surrounded himself with people who will do his bidding -- people who are perfectly willing to let Trump be Donald Trump.

I wish there was a reason to cry foul, lodge protests, and challenge the election's results. But this wasn't a rigged election. There isn't any confusion about what the voters really wanted. The American people did this. People you know and care about and who say they care about you are the people who did this. We need to recognize that these elections aren't outliers anymore. Trump's supporters aren't simply chaos agents who got lucky on a bad day for the Democrats. That's the country we live in now and we have to find a way to resist it that actually makes a difference because now they have the keys to all the doors and all of the alarm codes. This country has normalized the conspiracy theories and nativism and racism that has powered the MAGA movement since the moment Trump came down the elevator at Trump Tower in 2015. He's given those people permission to be open with their hatred towards people who aren't like them, and it's actually become surprising to see how many Americans have been eager to take advantage of that. I didn't think I had any misconceptions about this country before Donald Trump because I recognized this nation's history, but I clearly had some misconceptions about people I thought I knew until I saw them wearing a red MAGA hat or noticed they had a gigantic flag with Trump's name hanging where their U.S. flag used to hang. Once that happened, it was like a switch went off with them and they started saying things in ways that I'd never heard them speak. I feel like that's happened to the entire country. It breaks my heart and it pisses me off.

For the past few years, I've been warning everybody about how elections have consequences. I imagine that there are hundreds of posts on this blog with that phrase in all caps listed with the tags. Now the elections have happened, and we have to live with real fucking consequences. And we're going to pass these consequences on to other generations because this is the one that you can't get a do-over on. When you give a movement like this the power and the mandate that this country just gave them, there is no easily rolling back the things that they end up doing. They are going to fundamentally change the lives of people in this nation and especially change the way the younger generations of Americans live and love and learn for years to come. And you have people in your life who made that happen. It's another disgusting day in America -- a prelude to another reprehensible four years (at the very least) -- and I'm ashamed of tens of millions of my fellow Americans because this one is on them. They know exactly who the man is that they voted for, and now we know exactly who they are, too.

Who Would Jesus Bomb by Jordan Smart

If Jesus Christ came back today like you threaten he will Which poor group of people do you think that he would kill? Who would Jesus choose to starve if you gave him the chance And if there was a genocide would he take a neutral stance?

Who would Jesus bomb? Tell me, who would Jesus bomb? Would it be kids in Palestine Or how 'bout Vietnam? Would Jesus bomb the atheists, the Muslims, or the Jews? I want you to ask yourself, "What would Jesus do?"

Would he say, "It's complicated and there's sinners on all sides"? Or would he say that some people, they just deserve to die? If Christ the savior rose again then on a sidewalk slept Would you extend a hand to him or just watch where you stepped?

Who would Jesus bomb? Tell me, who would Jesus bomb? Would it be kids in Palestine Or how 'bout Vietnam? Would Jesus bomb the atheists, the Muslims, or the Jews? I want you to ask yourself, "Well, what would Jesus do?"

Would Jesus hate the gay folks, or the queer folks, or the trans? Would he suggest they end their lives according to God's plans? Would Jesus tell a homeless man to get a fucking job? Then turn his back on the poor? Would Jesus be a snob?

Who would Jesus bomb? Tell me, who would Jesus bomb? Would it be kids in Palestine Or how 'bout Vietnam? Would Jesus bomb the atheists, the Muslims, or the Jews? I want you to ask yourself, "Well, what would Jesus do?"

Would Jesus vote Republican? Or would it be Democrat? Would he be chanting four more years? Or wear a MAGA hat? Would Jesus run for president, or dictator, or worse? Would Jesus be the pastor of his own megachurch?

Who would Jesus bomb? Tell me, who would Jesus bomb? Would it be kids in Palestine Or how 'bout Vietnam? Would Jesus bomb the atheists, the Muslims, or the Jews? I want you to ask yourself, "Well, what would Jesus do?"

Would Jesus build a border wall? Would Jesus drive a tank? Would Jesus run an arsenal? Would Jesus run a bank? Would Jesus feel safe in his skin if he came to your town? Or would you still believe in Jesus if you found out he was brown?

Who would Jesus bomb? Tell me, who would Jesus bomb? Would it be kids in Palestine Or how 'bout Vietnam? Would Jesus bomb the atheists, the Muslims, or the Jews? I want you to ask yourself, "Well, what would Jesus do?" I want you to ask yourself, "Well, what would Jesus do?" I want you to ask yourself, "Well, what would Jesus do?"

[projectreclaim]

He went “Dark MAGA” to the polls to cast his early vote for Donald Trump. It is the HONOR of a lifetime to vote for this man, who took a BULLET for America, for ALL OF US.

Pity, he wasn’t able to wear the hat in, but came in clutch with his Flynn shirt. 🫡

[arabian-batboy]

If I had a time-machine I will go back in time and kill the guy who came up with the idea of having two nearly identical parties rule the US's policy while constantly fighting each other and swearing up and down that their twin party will doom the country so that dumb Americans will make unconditionally supporting one party and unconditionally hating the other party be their only personality trait without realizing that they're both the same exact satan, the only difference is that one wears a MAGA hat while the other has pronouns in their bio, but their kill count and willingness to kill more innocent people is basically the same.

Assassins experience!

Super small theater, room with the set jutting out and the audience sitting along 3 walls

Rows of pennant (triangle) banners along the walls and some hanging down from the grid

Hanging on the wall banners were photos of the president, they would get a light on them when they were assassinated/mentioned

The Proprietor was FULL carnie sleaze, also super tall and leaned into being cartoonishly evil

At the end of Everybody’s Got The Right, everyone grabbed one of the hanging pennants and ripped it off the grid, the noise it made mimicked the gunshots from Everybody’s Got The Right (Respire)

Booth was white and preformed The Ballad of Booth as it was originally written

Booth was blonde and you could hardly see his mustache

They went with this look for Guiteau

The actor for Guiteau went zany for Guiteau’s voice, the most similar voice I can think of is Ned Flanders

THE BALLADEER WAS SO GOOD

Emma Goodman didn’t have her glasses :(

Guiteau’s “First of all when you’ve a gun… everybody pays attention!” Didn’t quite work because the guns weren’t allowed to be pointed at the audience, he instead pointed and shot at Booth

They skipped the first third of The Ballad of Czolgosz for no apparent reason

At the end of Unworthy of Your Love, Squeaky made out with her picture of Charles Manson and started dragging it down her body

During The Ballad of Guiteau, Guiteau and the Balladeer were sort of playful with each other and danced in sync, I found it very fun

Byck was PHENOMENAL, he gave the monologues his all and he was one of my favorite parts of the show

The guy playing the Balladeer did a good job showing his positiveness, it felt very sincere

During Another National Anthem the Proprietor handed all the assassins boater hats that they then wore

boater hat ^

Near the end of Another Nation Anthem, Booth held his hat above The Balladeers head and then scurried off stage

Lee Harvey Oswald transformation happened off stage 😒

Booth and Lee were really good during their interaction with each other, they didn’t over act any of the anger (not to say that Booth didn’t have his yelling fit, but it wasn’t like over the top or anything)

Lee also did a good job a portraying Lee’s emotions, he’s just a really good actor in general

Booth, with the rest of the assassins behind him, winked at Lee right before Lee turned around to shot JFK

They projected the JFK footage on the set while the ensemble came out for Something Just Broke

At the end of Everybody’s Got The Right (Reprise) the Proprietor came out in a Trump wig and MAGA hat and everyone pointed at him and shot, the stage lights turning red with Prop holding his ear

In general it was super good! Huge props to the choreographer because all of the choreo and dancing was amazing

S.V. Dáte at HuffPost:

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump, who as president withheld hurricane aid to Puerto Rico and threatened to withhold wildfire assistance to California, on Monday falsely accused President Joe Biden of failing to help Hurricane Helene’s flood victims in western North Carolina and Georgia, having “left Americans to drown” in the South. “He’s been calling the president, he hasn’t been able to get him,” Trump said of Georgia’s governor, fellow Republican Brian Kemp, in his remarks to reporters in Valdosta, a city in the southern part of the state. It was a lie — refuted by Kemp himself earlier that day. “The president just called me yesterday afternoon. I missed him and I called him right back,” Kemp told reporters. “And he just said, ‘Hey, what do you need?’”

That falsehood was the latest in a string of lies Trump has issued about the response by Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for president, to the Category 4 storm that came ashore late Thursday. Just before flying to Valdosta, the coup-attempting former president posted on social media about western North Carolina: “I’ll be there shortly, but don’t like the reports that I’m getting about the Federal Government, and the Democrat Governor of the State, going out of their way to not help people in Republican areas. MAGA!” He then posted an even more inflammatory claim, again with zero evidence of malfeasance: “They have left Americans to drown in North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, and elsewhere in the South.”

And at the Valdosta Regional Airport, asked by a reporter if he had contacted Biden about the response, Trump, wearing his red campaign MAGA hat, answered, “No, I haven’t reached out to him. I think he’s sleeping right now, actually.” In fact, Biden had just minutes earlier detailed to reporters at the White House his administration’s actions to date and planned next steps. He also explained that he intends to visit the worst-hit areas in North Carolina, but not until later in the week so as not to get in the way of operations on the ground with his large traveling entourage and security detail. “This can be disruptive,” he said. He later announced that he would, in fact, visit North Carolina on Wednesday.

[...] Trump’s accusations that Biden is intentionally withholding assistance from areas where residents are largely critical of him, however, do mirror his precise behavior as president when he withheld $20 billion in congressionally approved aid to Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria in 2017 and threatened to withhold federal assistance to California to deal with wildfires. The question of federal assistance in the event of natural disasters may become moot should Trump win back the White House. Under the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 — which Trump initially praised for detailing “exactly what our movement will do” if he returned to office but in recent months has disavowed as Democrats publicized its contents — federal programs helping individuals and businesses would be slashed. The massive proposal also would scrap the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, as well as turn over forecasting, and presumably control, over a fleet of weather satellites paid for with many billions of tax dollars to private companies.

Colossal liar Donald Trump baselessly accused Joe Biden and Kamala Harris of “withholding" aid victims to Hurricane Helene victims… except that Biden and Harris are helping out victims of Helene with ample aid.

Trump, during his “Presidency��, has repeatedly withheld aid for political purposes.

If he gets back in again, this time with Project 2025’s assistance, Trump will likely withhold disaster relief funding to areas that don’t vote for him.

Want fair disaster relief, regardless of politics? Vote Harris/Walz!

MAGA Descendants of Illegal Immigrants Should Be Deported In Mass

I was reminded today that I am, in fact, genetically more Native American than any other race. As such, I claim authority to speak on behalf of my ancestors.

The descendants of ILLEGAL EUROPEAN IMMIGRANTS WEARING MAGA HATS have overstayed their welcome, just like their ancestors did. And it's time for them to leave our land.

As is common from the MAGA world, every accusation is actually a confession. MASS MURDERERS AND RAPISTS DID NOT ARRIVE FROM LATIN AMERICAN COUNTRIES IN MODERN TIMES, THEY ARRIVED AROUND 400 YEARS AGO FROM EUROPEAN COUNTRIES.

And once again, in a few weeks, the descendants of these rapists and murderers will celebrate that my ancestors, the natives of the north and south American continents, were so naïve and trusting that they feasted happily with the assholes that would rape and kill them the following day.

Then came one of the biggest assholes in American history, Andrew Jackson. Manifest Destiny is what he called the genocide of the real natives of this land. I'm surprised we don't have a federal holiday to celebrate this genocide as well.

Let us not forget the happy times of the California gold rush. What a fun time is must have been to commit genocide once again against the only group of people that have a natural birth right to this land.

The way I see it, my brothers and sisters and their children from Latin American countries share more of my Native American blood than the representatives of the ILLEGAL GOVERNMENT OF THE ILLEGAL EUROPEAN IMMIGRANTS, and have more a right to immigrate to anywhere they wish on this land.

MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND THEIR CHILDREN FROM PUERTO RICO ARE NOT TRASH. And it is not a harmless joke as the asshole JD Vance would seek to convince you. It's a harmless joke in the same way that Hitler calling the Jewish people rats was such a charming and harmless observation by a wildly misunderstood but charismatic guy, as Jordan Peterson would describe him (such a hilarious guy right Jordan?).

MAGA Republicans have overstayed their welcome in our land, and it's time for them to go. Especially the SOUTH AFRICAN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT ELON MUSK, he definitely needs to have his naturalization rescinded and needs to be deported immediately - he can take his mom with him.

[druidshollow]

help a bunch of people in maga hats came out of the voting center going "YEAAAH CONSERVATIIIIVE" you look like fucking clowns lmao

[eugenedebs1920]

We do have an immigration crisis happening in America. When foreign agents come to our country, with the sole intention of enriching themselves through exploiting our system of capital, it is problematic.

Peter Theil. Openly anti-democracy, yet somehow pro freedom. Wants to circumvent taxation by building man made islands off the mainland. Attempted to purchase two senate seats. Succeeded in purchasing one, a senate seat from Ohio (an astronaut, fighter pilot defeated his other pick in AZ) for the now republican Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance. Theil praises Hitler and believes rape is an “inconvenience” for the victim. HE is a dangerous immigrant.

Elon Musk. The once awkward, seemingly climate friendly entrepreneur, has become a pro-fascist, free speech for him and his views only, vote buying, misinformation spreading, sycophant, cartoon villain oligarch. A vast majority of Elon’s wealth came from government subsidies regarding climate friendly proposals/grants. He later repurchases twitter under the guise of free speech, turning the platform in to an extreme far right mis ans dis information superhighway, while at the same time altering the algorithm to suppress anti Trump posts. His deep involvement in military and government activities amplifies the threat he poses. HE is a dangerous immigrant.

Rupert Murdoch. What can’t be said about the harm he, Rodger Ailes, and his army of dishonest employees around him, have inflicted on the Republican Party and American in general. He has turned the GOP from a respectable, conservative, family values, balanced budget platform into a conspiracy theory driven, fact denying, tinfoil hat wearing, group of racists. His Fox News channel is an affront on the concept of journalism. The constant spread of lies, division and fear is a major element in the potential downfall of our democracy. HE is a dangerous immigrant.

The danger doesn’t come from the willing to work and hard working Latin fellow outside the Home Depot. The threat is not from a brown skinned family, traveling thousands of miles on foot looking for a better life. No! The real danger is the foreign oligarch and their agenda of chaos and self enrichment. Jose, who’s willing to be the general labor guy on your jobsite is no threat. Maria who’s cleaning the hotel rooms one stays at is not a danger. Juan who’s tending to the produce we consume isn’t trying to undermine our institutions. It’s these white, entitled pricks (there’s others) who pose the greatest risk to Americas security.

I’m gunna sound like MAGA here but. If you come to this country with the intentions of slowly destroying it, don’t come at all.

In the immortal words of the movie Forrest Gump. Seats taken!
