Woke Olympics Start With Grisly Gay/Transgender Parody of The Last Supper of Jesus Christ;
Olympic Committee Gaslights In Dishonest Nonpology
Happy new week! I hope everyone is tanned, rested, and ready for this latest hellweek.
The Bee:
Except that this Barbara Butch pyrsyn gave the game away by admitting the tableau was intended as a "Gay New Testament." Then xe deleted that admission, and pushed the Official Regime Party Line that this was meant to be about the Greek Gods. See below the fold for that deleted tweet.
The organizers behind the Paris Olympics apologized to anyone who was offended by a tableau that evoked Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper" during Friday's opening ceremony and provoked outrage by religious conservatives around the world. The organizers, however, defended the concept behind it. Da Vinci's painting depicts the moment when Jesus Christ declared that an apostle would betray him. The scene during Friday's ceremony on the Debilly Bridge featured DJ and producer Barbara Butch -- an LGBTQ+ icon who calls herself a "love activist." Butch was wearing a silver headdress that looked like a halo as she got the party going on a footbridge across the Seine. Drag artists, dancers and others flanked Butch on both sides. As CBS News correspondent Elaine Cobbe reports, the specific part of the ceremony that caused the offense was, in fact, a scene depicting Dionysus, the Greek god of wine. It was reportedly based on The Feast of the Gods, a 17th century painting by Dutch artist Jan Harmensz van Biljert that hangs in the Magnin Museum, in Dijon, eastern France. The painting depicts an assembly of Greek gods on Mount Olympus for a banquet to celebrate the marriage of Thetis and Peleus. The figure seated at the table in the center has a halo of light behind his head.
The Drag Queen who took the Olympic torch says he's not sorry and you Christian #H8rz will just have to go f*** yourselves.
Thomas Jolly, the opening ceremony director, insisted in an interview with France's BFMTV that "The Last Supper" was not the inspiration behind the scene, explaining that "Dionysus arrives at the table because he is the Greek God of celebration," adding that the particular sequence was entitled "festivity." "The idea was to create a big pagan party in link with the God of Mount Olympus -- and you will never find in me, or in my work, any desire of mocking anyone," Jolly said. ... But religious conservatives from around the world decried the segment, with the French Catholic Church's conference of bishops deploring "scenes of derision" that they said made a mockery of Christianity -- a sentiment echoed by Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova. The Anglican Communion in Egypt expressed its "deep regret" Sunday, saying the ceremony could cause the IOC to "lose its distinctive sporting identity and its humanitarian message." Prominent French far-right politician Marion Maréchal denounced the performance on social media. "To all the Christians of the world who are watching the Paris 2024 ceremony and felt insulted by this drag queen parody of the Last Supper, know that it is not France that is speaking but a left-wing minority ready for any provocation," she posted on the social platform X, a sentiment that was echoed by religious conservatives internationally.
A drag queen who was one of the many torchbearers for the Paris Olympics had a message for the critics amid uproar over the opening ceremony which appeared to mock the Last Supper. Nicky Doll was among the drag queens to carry the torch of the Olympic flame but also performed during one segment of the ceremony. Doll reposted an image on his Instagram Stories, claiming the image depicted was not of the Last Supper but the feast of Dionysius.
"The opening ceremony did ruffle some feathers... and I LOVE it," Doll wrote on his Instagram Stories on Monday morning. "You know why? Because the Olympics are the biggest stage in the world and us queer people have always been the audience of other people's life and achievement and it is time that we are welcome in the space." "It was my absolute honor to perform in front of billions of people around the world, and celebrate our Olympians," Doll's post continued. "And remember, to the ones that had their feathers ruffled seeing queerness on their screen: WE AIN'T GOING NOWHERE."
Barbara Butch, the woman in the center, posted this photo to her instagram, admitting that this photo had everything to do with them mocking the scriptures.

She then deleted it a few hours later and called it “the feast of the Gods”.

Barron took special aim at the sneering attitude still present in Descamps' statement, and not just in her absurd claim to have wanted "tolerance" and "inclusivity." They mocked the faith of 2.6 billion people, Barron reminds us, but the idea that Christians should not have taken offense is even more absurd. "Christians were offended because it was offensive," Barron declares, "and it was intended to be offensive. Please don't patronize us," Barron continued, "with this condescending remark that 'well, if you had any bad feelings, we're awfully sorry about it'."They might have added a nod here and there to Greek pagan gods to give them plausible deniability about the obvious, blatant parody of the Last Supper. You know their intent by their actions: they began a massive deplatforming campaign to stop people from posting these clips online. This shows a guilty mind.
Though American news media tried to spin the uproar as coming from a few right-wing religious nuts, the truth is lots of people were offended, and not just in America. The backlash in France, Italy, Britain and elsewhere, from both religious and non-religious, was tremendous. There were efforts to defend the debacle, but the truth is revealed by the airbrushing that followed, as the sponsors initiated a massive takedown effort, using copyright claims to get videos of the ceremony struck from services like YouTube and X. If they thought their work was good, why would they hide it? Well, because it stank. And -- and this is the most important part -- it was designed to stink. Lousy culture like this is a power statement ("look what we can get away with!") and also a convenient benchmark: One needs little in the way of talent to produce such an exhibition. Chutzpah will do. Why was it designed to stink? Again, power. A friend pointed out that the only good recent Olympic opening ceremonies were in Sochi, Russia, and in Beijing. Those governments, whatever their many flaws, wanted to present a positive message about their nations and their cultures to the world. They wanted to portray themselves as rising powers, full of cultural vigor.
Ceremonies like the Paris opener, on the other hand, are intended to do just the opposite. They are intended to mock and denigrate the underlying Western culture, which even atheists like Richard Dawkins admit is Christian. This, we're told, is "brave." Or they pretend surprise that anyone is offended, but as the French say, "Ils sont toujours au courant," meaning, "They're always aware."

Ace, it's not all bad. There's been some very positive and soul-satisfying news from the Paris Bukkakke Show.
I really enjoyed the filthy Muslim rat who refused to shake a Jew's hand after the Judo match. In the next match, he blows his shoulder out and ends up laying on the mat in the fetal position whimpering like a baby.
Hopefully he'll recover in time for the post-Olympics Goatfucking Party in Tajikistan.

Pretty simple - Christians merely need to start killing people who engage in anti-Christian blasphemy, the way Muslims kill people who engage in anti-Muslim blasphemy.
They're never going to mock Muhammad in a public display.

I have a question. Let’s pretend I buy your story on the feast of Dionysus. That is a depiction of decadence to the point of evil. Debauchery, if you will. Front and center we have an obese person. Is the allegory here that eating to point of absolute fat is the ultimate in decadence and debauchery?

I had a theory that I posted in the art thread...
I've been mulling over an art theory, connected to the Last Supper opening ceremonies debacle. The left has been saying there's no way it was meant to be the last supper, we Christians are just dumb.
Honestly, it bugged me that Paris would mock Christians using something so iconically Italian. It made no sense to me.
There is an alternative option. What if the art director DID pull from a pic of Christ...and pulled from one IN THE LOUVRE ITSELF?
Behold: The Wedding at Cana from Louvre
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wedding_at_Cana
A boisterous, celebratory feast like we saw at the opening ceremony. And Christ's halo is MUCH more like the one the zaftig lady was wearing.
Once I realized this, I could not un-realize it. Am I on to something, or crazy?

Pretty simple - Christians merely need to start killing people who engage in anti-Christian blasphemy, the way Muslims kill people who engage in anti-Muslim blasphemy.

They might have added a nod here and there to Greek pagan gods to give them plausible deniability about the obvious, blatant parody of the Last Supper.

Even if it was meant to represent a Feast of the Gods on Mount Olympus with Dionysus, it's still an homage to obscene debauchery.

Though American news media tried to spin the uproar as coming from a few right-wing religious nuts, the truth is lots of people were offended, and not just in America. The backlash in France, Italy, Britain and elsewhere, from both religious and non-religious, was tremendous.

These are Christian nations. They are not theocracies, but the governments and cultures *are* Christian. Nobody likes it when colonists saunter in and mock the culture. Subject peoples put up with it because they must, but they don't *like* it and certainly don't respect it. They resent it.

They mocked people who agreed with Falwell pointing out that Tinky Winky teletubby was intended to be gay . After everyone had forgotten about it it turns out that was the intention.

Morning.
So the thing is it is possible that the scene in question is based on *both* The Last Supper and The Feast Of The Gods. To be sure the relation to Feast seems largely tangential, but it does clearly start as a reference to Last Supper.

What was the 68 Olympics like? Mexico City seems to ring a bell.
In those days, they orbited the Moon on Christmas Eve, and read a passage from the Bible broadcast world wide over TV, completely transparent and the largest audience ever;
just to stick it in the eye of the atheistic Soviets, who built walls to keep people in, and held their space launches in secret. The launch "windows" for 1968 were several, and could have shook out at different days, but somebody decided "why not Christmas Eve"? And went ahead and did it.
Today? They can't orbit the Moon. In fact, while they aren't talking about it too much, it looks like the current astronaut crew is stuck in low earth orbit with a very expensive paperweight.
If you show up at the space station with a weeks worth of food and decide to stay 3 months, I'm going to be a little upset, no way around that. Hopefully they are better provisioned than that?

Charlie Hebdo shooting
On 7 January 2015, at about 11:30 a.m. in Paris, France, the employees of the French satirical weekly magazine Charlie Hebdo were targeted in a shooting attack by two French-born Algerian Muslim brothers, Saïd Kouachi and Chérif Kouachi. Armed with rifles and other weapons, the duo murdered 12 people and injured 11 others; they identified themselves as members of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, which claimed responsibility for the attack. They fled after the shooting, triggering a manhunt, and were killed by the GIGN on 9 January. The Kouachi brothers' attack was followed by several related Islamist terrorist attacks across the Île-de-France between 7 and 9 January 2015, including the Hypercacher kosher supermarket siege, in which a French-born Malian Muslim took hostages and murdered four people (all Jews) before being killed by French commandos.

Is Biden still president?
Interesting you should ask that.
The "Biden" that we see walking to and from various aircraft walks much more confidently than a couple of weeks ago, and has clearly gained several inches in height.
(Seriously, Joe and Hunter used to be the same height, as evidenced in numerous old photographs, but "Joe" is now clearly taller than Hunter in the most recent photographs.)
Seriously - where are they keeping Joe?

Arizona is one of the states where "the election" and "the electorate" are at best loosely related.

AZ has become the suitcase state for Californians. They live in AZ but vote like Californians.

67 Are all drag queens fat, disgusting slobs? Yea, I get it that they're all weirdos and perverts. And a man is never gonna look good as a woman. But is there no slim, fit drag queen out there? It's all a bunch of fat slobs and farm animals. The flotsam and jetsam of even the weird fringes of society.

I actually hate harping on how people look, I think it’s counter productive. With that said, I believe the idea these people are joyful and comfortable in their skin is a load of nonsense. One of the ways people self medicate is through food. We all find comfort in certain foods, but this is an extreme version. These are miserable people in need of less glitter, less decadence and more help.

As I noted some years back, it's interesting to see that all the satanic seeming Marxist globalist "anti-religionists" seem to target only one religion in particular.
We know they don't like the Jewish people - it's a given - but the religion they hate and have in their sights is Christianity. You don't see them targeting Buddhism, Hindu, Sikh or any other major religion. Why?
Christianity must strike one heck of a chord with them. I think the words "over the target" apply.

But the help is bad. It's poison. Modern "mental health" appears to be entirely about affirmation and encouragement, no matter what. Telling anyone, "you're wrong, and if you want to get better, you need to change" is unacceptable.

Yes, but I think there's a better fit - anomie.
Anomie was discovered (or defined, at least) in a study of suicidal behavior in the 19th century. From Wiki, which actually provides a decent superficial definition:
a social condition defined by an uprooting or breakdown of any moral values, standards or guidance for individuals to follow. Anomie is believed to possibly evolve from conflict of belief systems and causes breakdown of social bonds between an individual and the community (both economic and primary socialization). An example is alienation in a person that can progress into a dysfunctional inability to integrate within normative situations of their social world such as finding a job, achieving success in relationships, etc.
The term, commonly understood to mean 'normlessness', is believed to have been popularized by French sociologist Émile Durkheim in his influential book 'Suicide' (1897)
We have *civilization*-scale anomie. What used to be an individual condition is now a social pathogen.
Being colonized by demons has consequences.

a social condition defined by an uprooting or breakdown of any moral values, standards or guidance for individuals to follow. Anomie is believed to possibly evolve from conflict of belief systems and causes breakdown of social bonds between an individual and the community (both economic and primary socialization). An example is alienation in a person that can progress into a dysfunctional inability to integrate within normative situations of their social world such as finding a job, achieving success in relationships, etc.
The term, commonly understood to mean 'normlessness', is believed to have been popularized by French sociologist Émile Durkheim in his influential book 'Suicide' (1897)
We have *civilization*-scale anomie. What used to be an individual condition is now a social pathogen.
Being colonized by demons has consequences.

And I remember when the polls said that Kari Lake was default governor in 2022. The polls failed to take into account the cheat.
---
Well, Lake never broke 50% in the average.
She didn't tie until mid-October.
Final average was 49.5% to 47.1% for Lake.
She was down by an average of 7% this time in 2022.

And in this situation, these fat ugly slobs are intentionally making a spectacle of themselves, sticking their filth and hideousness in our faces. So for them, anything goes.

Either he outright refused or they haven’t decided on Kamala yet. The more time that goes by though the more it looks like the first scenario.

What gets me about the whole thing, every TV company I'm sure was briefed about the lineup...
"Here we have a dance routine with skantly clothed women...
Here we have Celine Dion signing the event's Theme Song...
Here we have a big old gay dude and entourage signing and posing as (probably) the Greek God Dionyeses (no details) partying"
So NBC, BBC, French TV, German TV, etc, etc saw the line up and no one thought to look up "Big D" and what he's known for. They just went with it.
They were in on it too, or massively stupid about it.
Now they (the TV companies) have turned off a Billion (?) viewers that wont' tune in because of this drama. Olympics is dead to all those viewers, just like the NFL is dead to so many Americans.

I watched the opening ceremonies live last Friday - didn't think Id have to tape my TV!
anyway I missed the last supper thing I just saw them leaving the "runway" and we (my kids and I) were just ripping the fatty, thought it was funny she could barely roll of the stage there
but the part with the beheaded people and the heavy metal? that was surprising. very edgy? do they realize what they're even expressing there? we are due for another culling of The Elites guys, you might not want to give people any ideas here.
The worst part of the ceremony was a) they kept talking in only French? and b) the horse thing was like over an hour of just an ugly mechanical horse being moved down the Seine. what the heck? it was so boring we tuned out for that and kept checking - "is it still the horse? yes? wtf?"
and the little short movie parts were bad. and inappropriate.
the whole thing was basically a hot mess, Huda said that Lady Gaga didn't even get a chance to rehearse her performance? costumes were not matched or worn right, and the dancers were often totally out of sync.
amateur hour, Paris, very sad.

The new USPS sorting centers though might throw a bit of a monkey wrench in that. That is why the Dems were desperate to get rid of the Trump appointed Postmaster General awhile back.

There are people who want the job, but none of them are the people the party wants. They're the otherwise no-hopers who see this as their ticket to the big time.

89 My NeverTrump inlaws waved away the controversy, saying the opening was "very Paris" and the drag show "wasn't the whole thing." It was strongly implied that I wouldn't get it since I've never been to Europe.
But Trump said pussy and is a threat to democracy. Mmmhmm. Sure. You betcha.

If this is their argument, I spend and have spent a lot of time in Europe. I am, in fact, French. My mom immigrated here, we just sold our house in Paris, and I still have family there. It was gross. The parts that were French were the Marie Antoinette headless singing with the metal music, and rider on the pale horse was Sequana.

Back to the "was the last supper also the Passover celebration?" question. No, it was not, JC WAS the Passover lamb. JC was sacrificed at the correct time.
From a scholar on this subject. ... preparation for Passover was not the same as keeping the Passover.
"They intended to keep the Passover, but Judas betrayed Jesus Monday night and he was arrested and tortured all day and night Tuesday and the crucified on Wednesday. The Disciples probably did not even have a Passover meal that year because they were at the crucifixion."
Had the princes of this world known (the Great Mystery of the one body), they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory. Anyway, I know it is established in tradition the other way, but JC as our Passover, once and for all, seems clearer this way.

There was never going to be an open convention. They have to show "unity", hence the quick rallying behind Kamala, something I said was inevitable long before it happened.
Most of what we see reported is just bad community theater. Nothing about the Democrats has changed in any meaningful way.
The same people are behind Kuntala as were behind Biden. As usual it's all projection. This is all part of Project 2030. You'd save yourself a lot of heartache by not paying attention to these day to day bread and circus reports.

>>> Do we think the 2028 LA Olympic planners are thinking, Paris we see what you did and raise you. Opening sponsored by Disney.
LA will pull a Paris, and take the bloodiest moments of its history and show that off. Instead of decapitated Marie Antoinette, we will get a reenactment of the Rodney King beating and the 1992 LA riots. As long as they also include the rooftop Koreans, I'm ok with this.
In all seriousness, though... I get the French revolution was the birth of their modern democracy, so they want to include it in the ceremonies. But they have SO many iconic images of this time, focusing on the spirit of that movement and of the people. Instead of doing a giant recreation of Delacroix's iconic 1830 painting "Liberty leading the people", they had to show dead headless elites.
That Gojira/Bizet mashup with the headless Maries was gorgeous. It should not have been at a PG family friendly event.

I fact, when the Nazis began the roundup of Hungary's Jews, they began with refugees from other countries so you had to prove you were Hungarian going back generations. My grandfather was able to trace lineage back to ancestors who fled Spain in 1493. So technically I am part Hispanic!

As a practical matter, it is much more difficult to pivot this late in the game from selling one candidate to selling another. You run the risk of New Coke mistake as people decided that the new Coke was not better than the old Coke.
Unfortunately for Dems, they really cannot run two candidates for president as such nor invert into the Kamala for President and Biden as VP ticket.
Path dependencies are a stone cold bitch at times regardless of what the cloud people might think.

After that or concurrent were the mass expulsions starting with the Inquisition and second class citizenship at best wherever they were allowed to live, proscription from trade guilds, owning land and so on.
I fact, when the Nazis began the roundup of Hungary's Jews, they began with refugees from other countries so you had to prove you were Hungarian going back generations. My grandfather was able to trace lineage back to ancestors who fled Spain in 1493. So technically I am part Hispanic!

We shut the tv off as the blasphemy came on screen. Explained to my boys what was going on and why we shut it off. Turned it back on to see some of the events. First thing up: human interest segment on Katie Ledecky. First q from my boys- “is that a man?”
I hate that our current age has made that a not terrible question for them to ask. 25 years ago, I would have known she’s just a woman with not very feminine features.
This was then followed by ads, and then when it came back, they had Beyoncé on, singing and wearing a swimsuit that would make Pamela Anderson blush. Not exactly a family friendly event, top to bottom.

If you are feeling demoralized or dejected, step away. If you begin to start missing it, it will all be there right where it was, waiting to depress you again.

They were always treated as outsiders, and the whole deicide thing didn't help either. As well as the passover blood libel.
Posted by: J.J. Sefton
During that time, commoners had little to no say in what teh Church nor their rulers told them. The fact that cynical rulers used outsiders (not only Jews but in John's case, French as well) to collect taxes, etc from an unwilling population was part of it as well. Many of those rulers thought it better to expel their creditors than to pay up which was a factor in the English expulsion. In Spain, it was the Jewish indifference between Muslim and Christian rule that caused the Hapsburgs to never forget. And so on. Libel of whole peoples are a bad thing regardless of their particular religious or ethnic persuasion and are a close companion of religious bigotry.
The past is the past and the individuals responsible for such things are long dead--we can only carry on with the living today.

The food they are providing for athletes is another issue that reflects just out of touch these people are. They tried to make a statement by going heavy on the Vegan nonsense to promote some environmental message. That made me laugh...some of these elite athletes put down about four or five times the average calories and carbs to be able to perform at the top of their game. That requires proteins (meat) etc.

I don't understand why she's on a coconut. Because she's part Jamaican? Is it a racial thing? Brown on the outside, white on the inside?
According to Kamala, her mother once told her that "people don't just drop out of a coconut".
AWFLs have latched onto that as the defining thing that humanizes Kamala, so they're all in on coconut emojis and the whole thing.

The fact that Google's results now begin with "assassination attempt of Truman" with Reagan, The Pope, and then Gerald Ford coming in third is kind of entertaining.
Truman? Who ever thinks of that?
It says that people are still searching for the Trump one, and the Truman result is the closest Google is willing to show.

How do you get three days and three nights into Friday to Sunday morning? Three days and three nights means three 24 hour periods. Just "three days" maybe could mean partial days, but not "three days and three nights".
That was the way they reckoned days back then. A part of a day counted as a full day.

I like this quote somebody left on the NY Post article's comments section. It's so true.
We've been watching the slow creep of P.C. to Woke since the 1980s.
This is where it got us.
-----
Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.

Do you think the insistence on the Jewish communities on living in private enclaves with their own laws and ruled by their own direct hierarchy separate from the local Christian population may have contributed to the perception that the Jews were outsiders? I admit it might be the other way, but my reading indicates that living in the enclaves was considered a benefit, and not a discrimination.
Spain was different, in that the Christian drive for the reconquest was to drive out any groups that were not supportive of the Catholic princes and kings as opposed to the Moors, but the Jewish population had also been money men for the merchants and aristocracy to both Christians and Muslims, and had intermarried as well, and on the whole were very civic minded.
Cervantes, criticizing the whole thing two centuries later had Sancho Panza claim he was more Spanish than any blue blooded aristo who had a Jewish ancestor with money.

This is what was behind the post crusade destruction and persecution of the Knights Templar. Some very powerful royal persons owed the Templar’s vast sums of money, and they found it much easier to connive with the church and burn them at the stake, rather than pay up.

The whole "Feast of the Gods" nonsense is only plausible deniability. To paraphrase an art history professor who commented in the NYT, the "crown" on the central figure is the tell.

That’s a pretty unfair and ahistorical statement. Jews weren’t the “target” of the Crusades nor was there an organized antisemitic effort. In fact, the antisemitic efforts of a few were resoundingly condemned by the bishops and other clergy associated with the Crusades. By that standard I could pick out instances like the Battle at Haifa, where “Jews” allied with Muslims to fight the Christians and ergo deign all Jews anti-Christians. See how that works?

It's all fanciful fake drama. That's how i'm certain, and have been, that not counting disruptors, we will see a convention thoroughly united behind Kuntala.

The point is if they had full control over the whole thing - the level that means everything is lost to the state and there is a boot stamping on faces forever -- then they would not have needed to get Biden to step out, and in fact would have encouraged him to stay in.
This is me trying to reassure you, not trying to cause a conflict by contradicting you.

When Kamala Harris asked aunt in India to break coconuts for good luck at temple
The aunt lined up 108 coconuts — an auspicious number in Hinduism — to be smashed
One of Harris' brightest childhood memories was walking down the beach in Besant Nagar in Chennai
"Senator Kamala Harris, the first-ever American of Indian and African descent to be the vice presidential candidate of a major political party, had at one point asked her aunt in India to break coconuts for good luck at a Hindu temple when she was in the fray for California attorney general election in 2010, according to a media report.
Harris had won the election by a margin of 0.8 per cent."

It was in the works for decades. Cambridge Soviet spies in the 30s-60s, near universal jealousy and hatred of Churchill among the public school educated poofters during WWII (probably because he was half-American), Fabian Socialists like the Bloomsbury Group around the turn of the century etc.
At least the Bloomsburys had a sense of humor when they shit all over Western Civilization (the Dreadnought Hoax).

If you're so brave, now do Islam.
Yeah, I thought so.
If Christians want to be respected, maybe they need to react like Mohammedans. I'll take fear instead of respect.

How do you get three days and three nights into Friday to Sunday morning? Three days and three nights means three 24 hour periods. Just "three days" maybe could mean partial days, but not "three days and three nights".
Tradition is often wrong, but well established for sure. Plenty of pagan symbols made it into "Corporate Christianity". Big Institutions becoming corrupt? How is that even possible?

Not so. We call both Midway and Gettysburg "3 day battles", though both were just a bit over 48. Also, for the Romans, the days start counting with today. So "I'll do it in 2 days" meant "I'll do it tomorrow."

It's right and proper to mock the participants of this repugnant farce, but I save my anger for the SOBs that authorized and promoted its occurrence. The IOC and the Macronites pushed this crap out the door, flipped the bird to the entire world, and performed a passive-aggressive waltz that included de-platforming critics, issuance of non-apologies, and then attempting to sweep the entire mess under the rug.

Everyone keeps harping on this - I found lots more that was just as bad.
How about the word ménage a troi thing? Where we cut away from the live event to a pre-recorded video, of a library where a boy and a girl are making eyes at each other. Then a trans person starts making eyes, then they all three run away to a room where they lock the door.
It was supposed to represent "love". Not a weird random hook up.
