“Newsmax anchor Rob Finnerty was particularly upset, in part because he seemed to believe that Achilles was a historical figure, not a mythological one.”
Hol up. Telling me that the right wing doesn’t read, can’t tell history from fiction, and judges things based on feelings? Hmm 🤔
Those things are pretty neat but imagine giving Trump a dose of self-awareness mid-rant followed by his immediate resignation and surrender to the authorities.
Oh, can you imagine if suddenly they all, including Trump, and McConnell, woke up filled with all the SHAME of everything they’ve shamelessly done in their life, all at once? Alito and Thomas… And the billionaires too…
I actually wouldn’t be surprised if there was a historical Achilles; the city of Troy did exist, and seems to have been razed, so some form of the Trojan War seems to have happened. I’d expect them to be like King Arthur, though, where the stories we have about them are almost completely divorced from reality.

If I could have just one superpower it would be to make these clowns feel the acute embarrassment that they should be feeling.

Pretty sure if he felt the shame and embarrassment he deserves for his actions he wouldn’t even make it two steps before his heart gave out.
There must be a downside?
The actually semi-intelligent demons that are pulling his strings slide the next puppet into place, and the show goes on.
Vance is up next if Trump kicks the bucket mid stride, and he’s as much a piece of shit as Trump, just less of a paper trail.

Like when the inmates of Arkham were temporarily given empathy?
Except permanently. Because if it wore off they’d be worse than ever out of rage
