This is so damn weird I can't even make a snarky headline about it. (www.mediaite.com)

I know Mediaite sucks, but they do such a good job tracking the weird shit these people say lately.

BOBBY MCNEILY: But what, that, really courage under fire. We’ve got two iconic photos now. President Trump, the the arrest photo, the mug shot that I have, a T-shirt of that.

And now you have the iconic fight, fight, fight. And that fist pump in the air, covered in blood.

The interesting thing about that, too, a lot of biblical prowess for it, because in the Levitical priesthood in the Old Testament, the, blood to be set apart, to share not only the gospel, the, Word of God at the time, but Aaron and his sons were anointed with the blood of the lamb or a pig. The sacrifice on the right ear. Usually the right thumb or right middle finger, and then the right large toe to go out, to be set apart, to share God’s story and his word.

"That gave me goosebumps to hear that, because I wasn't aware of that before the assassination attempt." Whenever something happens, propagandists do a CTRL+F on the bible to find tenuous connections. Also, it was the blood of a ram, not a lamb or a pig. Pigs are considered unclean animals in the Levitical law, so they would never be used in a ritual. They can't even keep their own bullshit straight, I swear.

Also known as post hoc ergo propter hoc. It's an extremely common logical fallacy, unfortunately.

There's also arguably some Texas sharpshooter fallacy going on too.

A ram and a lamb are both just sheep, right? A ram is an adult male sheel and a lamb is a juvenile sheep of either sex.

Only technically.

Chronologically. Mentally, emotionally, and ideologically, they are like a 16 year old on acid.

Only by somehow living long enough to qualify. If it weren't for the timeless churchy tradition of population management, these fucknuts and their ilk'd be a comical footnote in our species' history. 🤷🏽‍♂️

While they're turning themselves into pretzels, they basically called trump a pig. That's trump's blood.

These people sound like they grew up eating lead paint chips

I think it's brilliant! To find these connections, no matter what! Everything that happens becomes a cornerstone of your belief. You are the one making sense of Tom and Jerry. It must be so reassuring, so warm.

But probably it only works if your life depends on the game not ending - on the fact that Tom doesn't catch Jerry. If you are one of the grifters. If you are not, then you become full of hate, filled with it, a desolate, sad, shit. Incel type depressed individual that even the family doesn't want to hang with.
