Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

If Trump isn't roleplaying the Antichrist from the Book of Revelation, then I don't know what he's doing.
He just needs to get these meteorites and locusts going and it's pretty much perfect.
To be honest, that's kind of an unimaginative reading.
Nothing says the censers being thrust down from heaven have to be meteorites. They could be orbit-to-surface missiles.
Likewise, the "locusts" described aren't necessarily an insect infestation. They might just as easily be drone swarms.
You know, if we're taking the book of revelation seriously, at least...
Well, Artemis II can do a flyby of the Alien Space Nazi Moonbase on the dark side and that will get the meteorites going. I'm not sure how he'll manage the locusts. Genetically modified grasshoppers?
They blew up a Starlink satellite a couple days ago; the debris will be reentering the atmosphere over the next couple days.
The term "locust" refers to "insect plagues" in general rather than mutated grasshoppers in particular. There is a new, mutated COVID variant circulating in 25 states that was nicknamed "Cicada".
Fun fact, there are only two continents without swarming locusts. Antarctica and North America.
The Rocky Mountain Locust went extinct sometime around 1900, which was some 30 years after the largest swarm ever recorded for any species of locust.
It just comes so naturally to him...
