Is There Really Life Beyond the MAGA Puddle of Perception?

We human beings are just captured way too often by our imaginations. I think it’s pretty easy to step into that puddle. You looking for where and how that happens? Just take a little peek into the goings on in Washington since Congress has returned. Nothing much has changed and they’re still swimming in the same puddle they were in when they went on break, which is not the least bit surprising. The reason they’re swimming in circles, though, looks like they’re being led in circles by two mental giants or maybe two otherworldly multiverse travelers. Whatever they are, they don’t do much unless you count swimming in circles as some kind of accomplishment.

One of the space cowboys is Don Poorelone who is swimming in water over his head poking his nose in national legal wrangling about foreign surveillance and keeping our treaties even though he is not an elected official-which makes it none of his beeswax. Yeah, yeah, I hear you. It’s true he was elected, but then so was Barack Obama. Barack isn’t demanding that anyone do what he wants. I know you want to claim that Barack is really in charge and Joe is too old and decrepit to do anything for himself. But you have to admit that he is not on national television standing next to the Speaker of the House demanding that the border be closed right now, this very instant. I don’t hear Barack bitching about Judges, District Attorneys, or court personnel or even Judges' family members. I do hear Don Poorelone bitching about lots and lots and worse than that, he bitches about how unfair the government he was President of is. Hear ye all ye faithful, that’s crazy shit and if you can’t see that maybe you’ll be wanting to get out of the Kool-Aid pool and warm up in the sun for a while.

The other major pain causing Congressional constipation is a space cowgirl who you might identify as that sweet little CrossFit Karen from way down south in Georgia. One must understand that our CrossFit Karen was born into a notoriously racist fish bowl called Forsyth county. Back in 1912, some of the good people of Forsyth county found a nearly lifeless young lady abandoned in the wilds. She had been raped, beaten and left to die. The good folks were incensed. They went down to the Sheriff’s office and asked the good Sheriff to step outside for a moment to check on some fire safety issues across town. He, being an honorable law enforcement officer, left immediately.

In his absence, the ever helpful Forsythians went into his office where they found a young black man who may or may not have had anything at all to do with the young lady found in the wilds. They, of course, shot him right there in the cell, took him out, hung him, then continued to shoot at his lifeless body while the crowd cheered every time he was hit and spun on the hanging rope. Then, they ran out 10% of the county’s population, who were black. Through the 50s and 60s there was a sign on the Forsyth county lawn that said, “Racial Slur, Don’t Let the Sun Set on You.” If you’re a goldfish raised in a goldfish bowl, it is not likely you will see the beauty in an angelfish. In that regard, CrossFit Karen is right on brand.

I think you can understand that in her Forsyth county district CrossFit Karen is thought of as an entertainment value. I doubt that anyone believes much of anything she says, even there, but they don’t get entertainment they understand all that often. I mean most TV entertainment comes out of L.A. or New York. TNT is kind of out of Atlanta, but TNT is somehow connected to Jane Fonda and that can’t be good. How can anyone from those places understand the fish bowl life of some racist good old boys from the Georgia hinterland?

I think you understand that in Forsyth county no one will ever contradict CrossFit Karen as long as she is true to her little puddle of reality that exists in her racist fishbowl of a district. That fact is not an advantage for the poor girl. For example, whenever she is fact checked, she has a series of built in defenses. She is losing her First Amendment rights, she’s being canceled, or the pathetic, radical left wing is presenting their woke agenda.

The weird part is she thinks she’s dealing with what is real in the world. Here’s a couple of examples. She claimed that Ukraine is in a war against Christianity. The fact is that by July 2023, 494 religious buildings had been demolished, robbed or suffered a notable dysfunction of purpose since the start of the Russian invasion¹. These included Baptist churches, Pentecostal churches, and other religious centers. The Ukrainians didn’t destroy those buildings, the Russians did because they represented anti-Orthodox ideas. Margie also stated that appropriating Russian assets in the US and Europe would be illegal because that money belongs to the Russian people. There’s a rumor that CrossFit’s ex divorced her because of her breakfast cereal choices. He thought that she was too old to have CocoPuffs every morning. He thought it made her CooCoo. But you can’t trust anyone raised outside of the fish bowl.

Here’s the goody. MagaMike Johnson, Speaker of the House can’t control his cute little CrossFit Karen simply because he’s a Louisiana racist, not a Forsyth county racist. So what did he do to control his little Karen? Why, he went down to Mar Lardo to kiss something that Don Poorelone offered to be kissed. It was, after all, a show of submission. Afterwards, when they had both had their cigarette, they came to the surface of the puddle and announced that they were in agreement that voter integrity depends on only US citizens voting in US elections which is already the law in the whole of the big ole US Lake. Maybe MagaMike, Don Poorelone and CrossFit Karen should get out more. There really is life outside of the MAGA puddle of perception. I agree with them that they can not see that other reality which is much larger than their little old goldfish bowl. But people outside of the Forsyth county dregs of Fishdom see larger bodies of water and even grow and prosper without even an iota of Forsyth county water contaminating their liquid environments. Between now and when MagaMike and Don Poorelone can cause CrossFit Karen to relax and take a powder about what she thinks is real, Congress will continue to swim in circles trying to chase the leaders down to see where they’re going in such a circular hurry.

It appears that CrossFit Karen is being accused by no less a luminary than Don Poorelone himself of being an agent of chaos. The Don is one of the most predatory fish in the lake. He’s a true cannibal. Just ask Lindsey Graham. Whatever MagaMike kissed when he went to Mar Lardo, it must have been good because when Don Poorelone speaks to the Mar Lardo aquarium to announce that goldfish will be on tonight’s menu, it’s a bad sign for lone Congressional goldfish from Forsyth county Georgia. It’s as though she woke up in an aquarium populated by large guppies. Not a good place for a Forsyth county racist goldfish. Don’t be surprised if it turns out that she was just captured by her imagined infallible greatness. She does do a nice backstroke for swimming in that small puddle of her imagination, though.
