Tropical Soulvangelical got me the Happy Bachelor to post another base share in quick succession after his response to the current Clooneyisms. This one isn't about Clooney, though. It's about the fact that TSV looked back on a road rage incident during the Memorial Day weekend back in 2024, just to show you how he doesn't forget these things, because he doesn't believe in unfinished business, but he never got a chance to talk about it till now. So some guy was tailgating TSV on TSV's way to his shift at Bland Barns along a country road where TSV was observing the speed limit (these types tend to drive out on the road just for the sake of driving and having no real destination, which TSV really doesn't understand). The guy was beeping at him from behind to try to intimidate TSV into breaking the speed limit. TSV refused to budge and the guy passed TSV over a double yellow line. TSV beeped back at him in a stance in favor of principle, but the guy beeped back -back- at TSV in response in that guy's apparent follow of personal corruption. TSV hasn't forgotten and he says right now, he knows you the guy are reading this right now, and commands you to repent for your actions. If you don't, may God have mercy on your soul. TSV remembers how the guy was one of those short guys with rubbery faces who tend to get obsessively involved in politics, often as a profession, but not as an elected figure. And with this past year when people were upset about political violence, TSV's wondering whether this guy reapt what he sowed accordingly. He may not even be with us as a result, but TSV still insists that the guy even -posthumously- read this base share. It was that weekend that another guy passed TSV over a left hand turn going the other way onto the same road, but that other guy was riding a motortrike, some sort of ATV. Only in the personally corrupt West does someone road rage someone else using a vehicle of luxury. Pretty much that entire weekend there were just road ragers all over the place on that road. And now just before the New Year not so much. So TSV's figuring that also in their forsaking of their God, they also wasted their time doing so if they were never going to be in a position to do it again. TSV's thankful that he hasn't been road raged on that particular road, or any other road in the past several months, and he hopes things stay that way. He doesn't buy that it was necessarily drugs, because he thinks they knew full well what they're doing. In their road rage, they were trying to tell him, well why don't you be more like everyone else? That's a fallacy, because "everyone else" wasn't road raging, and would also condemn those people's acts accordingly. Was it a contentious election coming up at the time? That's no excuse either because, again, we're now in hindsight 20/20, and -political- road raging is also a lame fallacy. And them trying to tell TSV that they can't be caught by the cops because there weren't any on the road at the time, so therefore they can do anything they want, also not true. TSV figures that separately when TSV's not on the road or in a position to witness them, they -have- been pulled over, ticketed, and likely even arrested if they were driving with a suspended license for having road raged on people. They should have taken such enforcement as a wakeup call for when they face their God with the same personally corrupt mindset they showed on the road. It's never too late to recant and repent and try to turn your life around. All these rationalizations for road raging on people, all wrong, both on the morals and as logical fallacies.

Tropical Soulvangelical acknowledges at least two George Clooney events that are roughly two weeks apart. Clooney is the one that the rest of The Spirit Of 46 believes is primarily responsible for 7/24. TSV at the time went after Schumer and Schiff, and implicitly distrusts those two figures to this day. So here are the headlines TSV heard on newsradio regarding George Clooney. First was when Clooney said he doesn't want to do kissing scenes in movies anymore, but TSV disbelieves him proverbially. Clooney he's seen as doing a lot of -political- kissing, including trying to give Biden the political kiss of death. The other headline was just today (or yesterday-?) when Clooney said he and his family are moving to the south of France to protect their children from the cell phone cameras of movie fans. But TSV's response is, great, so this guy caused 7/24 and then a year later -abandons- America and hence showing what he thinks about the country. Clooney incidentally TSV includes as one of the Three Stodgies, and that's Trumpy, Bernie and Clooney. How did -Bernie- get on there? I the Happy Bachelor vaguely remember our going after Bernie for being the rescuer type and likely didn't care about what happened to Biden in 7/24 regardless of the temporary respect he had for Biden at the time when the Clooney Donkeys threw away their sense of principle and attacked Biden with the worst of an undemocratic election interference. -trump-, of course, is the ultimate personification of personal corruption, but TSV refuses to bend toward the logical fallacy of If Not One Then The Other in that the Clooney Donkeys going after -trump- don't demonstrate a higher morality authority, and that the Bernie Bros -also- don't show a moral authority in going after the Clooney Donkeys. Only The Spirit Of 46 is the true none-of-the-above philosophy, and TSV wants everyone to know that the more inside of The Spirit Of 46 you are, the closer you are on the righteous path toward principle, away from the scourge of personal corruption.

Seasons Greetings from all of us here at Tropical Soul And Principle. Or perhaps -both- of us, me the Happy Bachelor announcer and Tropical Soulvangelical. We respectfully wanted to wait till after the contemplations of the 25th proper before making commentary. But do you know whom TSV observed doing the same? The sky-is-falling doomsay-distraction-from-anti-Biden-July24 Clooney Donkeys. TSV did not get -even one- text on either the 24th or the 25th. So if he gets any correspondence from now into the New Year about an impending doom of sorts, again he's not suggesting being in denial over it, but if things were truly that dire, why did they say to their respective staffs "enjoy the Holidays?" It's because TSV figures that staff hours at the doomsday offices had the 24th and 25th off. TSV remembers that George Washington and his troops didn't take those days off when they crossed the Delaware to try to turn the tide at the battlefields of Princeton and Trenton. TSV remembers the book of 1776 written by David McCollough and how the portrayal was that it was that year that was the most dire for the country, because the country only had declared independence on 7/4 that year (hence technically not a country till then), and the impression TSV got from reading that book was that most members the continental congress truly weren't absolutely sure that such a declaration was necessarily the right thing to do, because that would have been burning bridges. There's no do-over on that one if they were going to be led the gallows depending on what was going to happen next. But they went ahead with it feeling the undertow despite a plurality of Loyalists in the colonies. As terrible as -trump- is, TSV sees the anti-Biden Cloonies as having difficulty in making the doomsday case if unlike General Washington, they were willing to take off for the Holidays. So, again, TSV figures if they go back to that talking point over the coming year, it's going to come off as disingenuous for him. He also imagines that if he asks them about their roaring silence during the Holidays, they'll likely respond with a word salad, or otherwise a feeble attempt at changing-the-subject-red-herring or some sort of emotional language. TSV isn't going to buy it, either from the Cloonies or the Bernies, and certainly not from the -trumpists-. -Only the Spirit Of 46 upholding the belief in the concept of principle embodied by Biden- TSV regards as the true preventive and antidote to a doomsday scenario. You can't have a true democracy without the concept of principle, otherwise it's just another form of dictatorship, albeit a dictatorship of personal corruption.

It seems to Tropical Soulvangelical that everyone living in Tropical Blue State has already forgotten we had a snowstorm over the weekend. So TSV also wants to remind people of what Eric Adams said just before the storm happened. He advised against going out during the storm and instead stay inside with some hot chocolate. The problem is, Eric Adams is inherently guilty of corruption and bribery and effectively inherently pleaded guilty when he pulled out of the past race. So TSV doesn't think Adams has any business advising anyone to do anything, no matter how much sense it makes. By that logic TSV's expecting reports coming out about there being more traffic snow accidents in New York City during this storm than in storms past, because those involved had decided they're not going to take the advice of an inherently guilty Mayor, and that they're going to get into whatever accidents they want, just to spite him. TSV doesn't recommend that now that the storm is over that people necessarily go out right now and get into accidents, just that he understands if people refuse to give an inherently guilty Mayor "authority" by refusing to take his advice on things.

Tropical Soulvangelical's not sure anybody remembers at this point, but it was only a few days ago that newsradio talked about an interview that Eric Adams had on TV, where he apparently talked about everything -except- being charged with corruption and accepting bribes. TSV doesn't forget about such things, and he declares, once again, that in exiting the past mayor's race, Eric Adams has effectively pleaded -inherently guilty- of corruption, and TSV will always see Eric Adams as corruption-guilty from here on out. TSV doesn't care about the vagaries of the justice system in this case, because TSV along with the people are our own justice system. When it comes to public figures, TSV sees due process as a two-way street, in that -the people- serving as subjects of said public figures also have a right to due process. TSV wishes they said all this in the Federalist Papers when it comes to due process rights in criminal cases. TSV figures they would have gotten around to it eventually if the authors didn't die all of a sudden or something. TSV's wondering whether the Federalist Papers couldn't have been added onto even after the US declared independence and after the Constitution had gotten written. Maybe now -we the people- can all add onto the Federalist Papers collectively via -responsible- social media, not endless unhealthful Tic Toc challenges. Add this onto what TSV said about the people having the inherent right themselves to reverse a corrupt pardon. God almost certainly did so in the case of at least those 10 insurrectionists, and certainly half of everybody else involved in 1/6.

Tropical Soulvangelical wants to talk about "fatalism" again. This is a behavior that elements of the larger culture -outside- tropical soul calls bleeding heartedness. TSV sees it increasing but for all the wrong reasons in the mid-2020s (but TSV is led to believe will decrease in the early 2030s or so as -trump- goes away and the practice becomes less fashionable). Fatalism TSV sees as thriving in credibility or support when you cannot immediately disprove the fatalism rationally, but now he sees it breaking down. He references the YouTube channel Hit Pause, which is a channel he keeps close at hand, because it addresses instances of misinformation TSV had to research on his own in the late 2010s against the vagaries of big tech and Ed Snowden and The Power Of Positive Thinking with the use of the book author web site logicallyfallacious.com. As of me the Happy Bachelor writing this, TSV hasn't checked again whether that physical site is still there, but he finds that info on the logical fallacies outlined in the site is readily available elsewhere. In a sense, TSV was ahead of his time in 2018 as he was effectively disproving the credibility of big tech and Ed Snowden and The Power Of Positive Thinking, because many things he outlined found themselves in Hit Pause's videos. The one topic in Hit Pause TSV deems relevant to the practice of fatalism is something called Emotional Language, and TSV saw that being replete in at least a couple areas on YouTube, the home base for Hit Pause. Firstly was when TSV tuned into a video making it clear that -trump- does not have the ability to "cancel" a pardon made by Biden or a previous President. The video turned to the subject of -trump's- pardons, and TSV saw fatalism just about running amok. He saw the claim that -only elections- can bring a sense of justice, and while he thinks elections are a pretty good mechanism for things, and of course are what democracy is generally about, the presumption is that the video didn't have to prove their "only elections" point as much as you as the viewer had to -disprove- that point, which TSV did, but that the actual act of disproof itself is a form of personal denial. They didn't actually -use- the word denial but TSV's sure they would have certainly done so, and it would very reasonably fall under the Hit Pause rubric of Emotional Language. One of TSV's takeaways from logicallyfallacious.com back in 2018 is that logical fallacies become the vehicle of choice when their user doesn't believe they can make a substantive reasoned argument in favor of their point. So with that in mind, TSV wonders, what was that video so afraid of that it had to resort to the Emotional Language of fatalism? This is where TSV tunes into his alternative point regarding the -trump pardons-, particularly those of the 1/6 rioters. The presumption in the video is that -only elections- can deliver a sense of karma to the personally corrupt, but God has already cast His Vote when reporting showed 10 of the rioters back in court again on separate and unrelated felony charges that they got convicted on, and which leads TSV to believe that roughly half of the rioters found themselves in a similar situation unreported. It's clear to TSV that when the 1/6 rioters accepted -trump's pardon- they were effectively accepting the guarantee of further jail time that -trump- can't and won't pardon them for, so, no, they did -not- walk as is the ultimate intention of pardons. It should have been about admission of guilt as per the 1910 court precedent but instead it's culturally evolved into a form of personally corrupt revenge, read, "revenge travel", against those of one's critics who walk in the divine path towards principle. That's why TSV sees people being upset by the -trump pardons- much more he observes they should be. TSV asks the fatalists if they want advice from him, and course they're going to say no, but the more fatalistic they get about all issues -trump-, the more it helps -trump- politically, and in the age of the Epstein Files TSV sees it as the one thing that keeps -trump- physically alive, and that's his perverted satisfaction that he's getting under his critics' skins. It's his "infusion" that you see his hands being bruised with. Not so with the more apparently more immune TSV as you've read about thus far. The other fatalism TSV immediately outlines was the video title You're Not Worried Enough About Sea Level Rise. In terms of essential emotionality, therapists have long made the case that getting worried about something does not psychokinetically cause the thing you're worried about to magically go away, but TSV asks people not to misunderstand. TSV isn't casting aspersions on the topic of sea level rise per se, but he questions the use of Emotional Language because, again, if they believed they had a strong enough case that by itself was sufficient, they would not have resorted to the use of Emotional Language. Again, what were they afraid of from their audience? TSV wonders if they were afraid of being ignored or the issue of sea level rise being ignored if they didn't use Emotional Language, but the results were the opposite of what they wanted to achieve. TSV hit the option of Not Interested also because the video came from a channel he does not have a subscription for and which he decided to not subscribe to when he saw their videos page. But he did sense the guilt trip of, well if you hit Not Interested on our video, that means you really don't care and you're in total denial. Again, that's the presumption and it's what he sees the larger personally corrupt culture to ultimately be about, and that's this notion that only the larger culture can have authoritative universal knowledge of absolutely -everything-, whereas it's its subjects that -have- to accept what the larger culture says at face value for being ignorant and not having the authority to reject the personally corrupt presumptuousness of the personally corrupt larger culture. But do you know what's above and superior and more authoritative than the personlly corrupt larger culture? It's God Himself. In the movie Oh God, TSV sees it being for a very good reason that John Denver's character says the following towards the end of the movie: we've already heard from the highest court.

Tropical Soulvangelical finds it hard to believe that the Congressional vote to release the Epstein files is necessarily going to matter all that much. He hears them getting excited over it on newsradio, but it appears a foregone conclusion to him that -trump- will rationalize not releasing the files on the basis of national security or there being an ongoing investigation into whether Epstein helped Bill Clinton attack children perhaps. TSV sees this time and time again. Oh there's X-gate involving -trump-! -trump- is going down! The walls are closing in on him! And then something else happens that causes both politicians and the populace to forget such a thing has happened until TSV comes back and says, oh by the way, what about that scandal back in April? -What- scandal back in April? You know, the one where everyone was declaring that -trump- was going down and he's still there six months later. So TSV's wondering that if -trump- being convicted on 34 criminal counts didn't stop him from being reelected, why would the Epstein files necessarily end his Presidency? TSV's aware of a potential Donkey target dismissing -trump's- investigation into Donkeys that attack children as a distraction of sorts, and he doesn't think -trump's- really helping himself by not responding to such a charge by saying something to the effect of, I still think we need to investigate Donkeys that attack children regardless of this other person's comment. Instead -trump- goes and verbally attacks reporters asking him other questions like that one reporter from ABC and that other one he called "piggy." That sort of thing TSV doesn't think, to kind of be a devil's advocate about it, that sort of conduct is conducive to an investigation into Donkeys that attack children and if it turns out they did, how that somehow automatically exonerates -trump- from having done so. -trump's- present day actions TSV sees as politically shooting himself in the foot. That said, TSV sees -trump- still being there till 1/19/29, though TSV does not see -trump- getting an impossible third term. 2024 was a Florida Man Election from the point of view of people voting for -trump- in order for them to avoid having to face their own shortcomings by declaring, I can do anything I want, and I can do it as stupidly as I want like one Florida Man did that TSV heard about on newsradio. This is why TSV keeps up on Florida Man that he's pretty sure the intellectualist media never meaningfully does. This was a guy who tried to hold up a gas station using the finger-in-the-pocket-looking-like-a-gun trick, and the gas station held up a -real- gun in self-defense, scaring the suspect away and for that suspect to be subsequently arrested. Seemingly unrelated though not really, TSV wished Joe Biden a prelated Happy Birthday (today was the 19th, Joe Biden blows out the candles on the 20th). This time TSV left the current politics out of his birthday wishes but starting on the 21st or so, TSV will pick up where he left off in heralding the Spirit Of 46 in preaching that the populace follow the path towards principle, and reject the mentality of I Can Do Anything I Want, I Can Be As Stupid As I Want For No Particular Reason, I Can Try To Stupidly Hold Up A Gas Station With A Finger-in-the-pocket-looking-like-a-gun Trick That No-one Buys For A Second. So that's TSV's own gift to 46 to also make available to the populace. He's doing the populace a favor that way.

Now that the government shutdown is over (remember the shutdown-?, feels so long ago now), Tropical Soulvangelical wants to announce that he has "fired" both Colbert and the BBC partly for their biased appeasements leading up to and through the shutdown. After he was shocked and upset about Colbert being cancelled as of next May, it was shortly after that in interviews like with Jean Marie Pierre that he said he supported the apparently undemocratic coup ouster of Biden in 2024, so then TSV figured that he'd only be getting the rip-on-trump satisfaction of things via Colbert, and would still have to search for a podcast or something else to get the satisfaction of the Spirit Of 46. He's still looking. And then after the shutdown came to an end he glanced at both Colbert's and Kimmel's video thumbnails about how they thought that those Donkeys that voted to end the shutdown somehow "caved." (TSV's keeping Kimmel on on a "probationary" basis). TSV thought that was a biased appeasement of the ABCD line, the Anti-Biden Central Donkey line, and also didn't buy the notion that nothing was gained from the supposed cave. For what it's worth, you -do- get a vote on the extended subsidies, but TSV also found out that even though his premiums are going up next year like pretty much everyone else's, he -wasn't- affected by the debate over extended subsidies after all. He determined that that debate had to do with salaries -above- 400% of the poverty line with respect to a measure that -Biden- (btw) signed into law around 2022 and not about salaries -within- 400% (because TSV is so dirt poor, because he just doesn't "work hard enough" to earn a six figure salary) with respect to default subsidies via Funny Named Care. Nevertheless TSV also has determined that the ABCDs spun a conflation of both above-400% and within-400% trying to make people believe they're both one and the same, for the sake of "scaring" people into supporting a logically fallacious ABCD line of things. TSV will look at his premium notices in the months to come, but he's willing to wager that he's more right in his research than the ABCDs are in their spin. And of course he sees it as consciousness of guilt on the ABCDs' part that they can't deal with and instead use deflection and diversion from what they did to Biden in 7/24 when TSV figured, again, they can solve 90% of their internal strife by admitting wrongdoing and trying to make amends. The reason why TSV fired the BBC is because in reporting the deal to end the shutdown, it occurred to TSV that all the BBC was doing was reading headlines from the US press (in this case, the Attack Dog News Network) rather than doing their own original reporting like they used to. So where international headlines go, TSV has elected to follow the World page on the PNG National newspaper web site. Those use Reuters and AP sources, but among other things it gives TSV insight as to which headlines about the US PNG feels are important and which ones they don't. It looks as though PNG'ans are aware who Gavin Newsom is, but may not have heard of Bernie. TSV was hoping that Glenn Kirshner would talk about -trump- getting Pam Bondi to look into -Donkeys- who are associated with Jeffrey Epstein like Bill Clinton for example, because TSV would hope that someone else other than just him would point out an apparent logical fallacy. Sure it's classic diversion (ABCD kind of knows about that one), but -trump's- trying to tell people that if there are any -Donkeys- who might have attacked children through Jeffrey Epstein, that somehow automatically means -trump- himself is innocent. It's like Al Capone trying to get a get out of free jail card by pointing out in court how Elliot Ness got a parking ticket. There's the possibility of both -trump- -and- Bill Clinton getting implicated. One person getting implicated does not automatically exonerate the other person, but -trump- wants people to believe otherwise. But right now -only TSV can see through the fog-. He believes that since no-one else has pointed out the fallacy, they're automatically being swayed by it. In a larger society oriented by the scourge of personal corruption, TSV sees people just outright buying logical fallacies at face value, because why wouldn't they? Whereas if we all followed the righteous path towards principle, we would be more critically thinking. But TSV is only one of only 144,877 people or so making an effort to stay on the righteous path.

Tropical Soulvangelical extends his congratulations to Mikie Sherrill for becoming Tropical Blue State's (as he currently calls it) next governor. This of course despite TSV's observations of Ms. Sherrill effectively -killing- her campaign with her ongoing anti-Biden stance for -never- having apologized for her part in 7/24. If it weren't for that, TSV projects she would have won with perhaps 1.5 million rather than a measly 1.2 million, keeping in mind that TBS has a population of 9 million people. TSV's math is that we saw a turnout of roughly 3 million, which is just one third of the state's population. Perhaps she could have won with far more because a sincerely contrite expression of desire to make amends for the Spirit Of 46 would have, by TSV's estimate, turned out -5 million more voters- to her side. But TSV will take what he can get, and you probably have guessed from the tone of this base share that TSV voted against both Ms. Sherrill and Mr. Ciatarrelli and did a Spirit Of 46 Personal Choice. His vote did not cause Mikie Sherrill to lose, which he's relieved by, but concerned that Ms. Sherrill will never learn from her political mistakes. TSV projects that on day 101 of Mikie Sherrill's governorship he will call for snap primaries because he thinks it's -highly unlikely- that Ms. Sherrill will ever make amends for Biden supporters by that time, but instead finding all sorts of state business, particularly economically relevant stuff, she can use to divert from the bad press of what she helped do to Biden. TSV noticed that it was -Obama- that came out for Sherrill and not Biden, because he doesn't think anyone ever -considered- asking Biden to help out, and that's because he thinks they think that Biden would somehow refuse. On the contrary, TSV notices that Biden often lives the Catholic notion of turning the other cheek, which is why TSV notices Biden only expressing disappointment over 7/24 when being asked about it, whereas those with the Spirit Of 46 like TSV still harbor justified anger and resentment toward the Central Donkeys, and TSV also views Bernie as part of that fray, not buying Bernie trying to claim anything to the contrary. Though Bernie did at least demonstrate -the optics- of opposing 7/24, TSV thinks that was just Bernie playing rescuer, because TSV has never gotten sincere signals from Bernie's office in joining with the Spirit Of 46 like he's seen with Chris D. Jackson, Louise Mensch, Karine Jean Pierre and Jaime Harrison to a certain degree. TSV wishes that Mr. Harrison's podcast be more about the Spirit Of 46 and less about just generic policy discussions, including, inexplicably, the -ongoing insistence- that the problem with the Supreme Court can somehow be solved with just throwing more justices on the Court rather than getting back to the basics of Federalist Paper 78's decree that it's the -citizens- (or rather God as TSV points out) that are the True Supreme Court, and what we call the so-called supreme court should really known as something to the effect of the Federal Central Court. But TSV also extends congratulations to Mr. Mamdani and to Ms. Spanberger, and puts -trump- on notice not to try to send troops into NYC or TBS or VA just because he doesn't like the election results. TSV will be there at the border along with the Spirit Of 46 to present citizens' orders to troops to turn around back to their respective barracks. This TSV is aware the alarmist anti-Biden central Donkeys would never do, except in the form of ineffective press conferences.

Tropical Soulvangelical was watching a video on the Soviet Union when they talked about Stalin's agri-czar who caused a famine that caused the deaths of millions, and apparently died at a ripe old age without ever answering for what he's done. That is, until now. The great judgment follows certain people well beyond the grave who've never had to answer for anything in life. As a result, TSV has gotten wind of the penalty of judgment against the agri-czar for which said agri-czar can never gain parole from. The agri-czar will now suffer the consequences of his actions for all eternity. We read that only God can judge. All that TSV can humbly do is hold up a mirror to said agri-czar. Judgment in history has also been passed on the Soviet Union because just in case anyone hasn't noticed, there is no Soviet Union anymore (even if someone like Putin wants there still to be one). Both penalties are far more severe than what either entity would have endured in the mortal world even if there were functioning court systems. The people who died, on the other hand, TSV has gotten wind of their elevation as holy martyrs. The decree in that prayer to save them from the fires of hell, and bring their souls to heaven because they are especially in need of divine mercy, TSV has gotten wind that that's been fulfilled. This brings us to that moment from over two weeks ago that -trump- made the stunning admission, apparently unsolicited, that he's not going to heaven. This was in response to a question on Air Force One as -trump- was flying back from Israel after what media via newsradio called a "peace" deal (though they all knew that technically it was a -ceasefire- deal). They asked him whether he expected to gain anything personally from the ceasefire deal, and then for whatever reason he said something to the effect of, well if you're asking me if I expect to get to heaven, then no I don't expect to get to heaven. TSV wonders whether Caroline Levitt was asked about that answer, and whether her response was something to the effect of, well he was answering a question specifically in response to being able to get to heaven via the ceasefire deal, not about being able to get to heaven, period. But TSV has never heard such a thing, so to him it appears as though -trump- has accepted the ultimate judgment of eternal forsakenness compared to which him ever spending time at Rikers Island could be compared to a so-called Swedish prison. TSV wants the personally corrupt and faithless to understand that hell is a jail with the devil as your jail warden. As such, the personally corrupt always claim that "hell's afraid I might take over, because once I die I will take over hell," but that's a really big presumption for the mere mortal, because the devil is far more supernatural than the mere mortal. Maybe TSV's thinking that -trump- thinks he can cut a deal with the devil, which of course the devil will renege on immediately and -trump- will suffer eternal consequences accordingly. You could say it takes one to know one, and this whole bit of "hell knows I'm taking over" is really just another way of saying "hell's taking -me- over." Again this isn't -judgment- on TSV's part, because again it's not for him to judge. TSV's just making an observation which he's under a spiritual obligation to make for the sake of soul. He'd be concerned otherwise if never made this observation, and if I the Happy Bachelor didn't support him doing so by making this base share. So as a result, TSV is considerably more satisfied with respect to the morality of young people (and still concerned) than he sees modern day activists as being, particularly those Central Donkeys predicting doom and gloom as a distraction from their -own- moral transgressions in trying to pass divine judgment on Biden as mere mortals. This is the great unfinished business. Until they finally apologize and express sincere contriteness and inherent wrongness for their judgments against Biden starting in 7/24 and beg to make amends to Biden's family and supporters, they cannot hope to rejoin TSV on the road towards principle.

So you may have noticed we've got an old school valance at the bottom of this base share instead of a reference to All Means Necessary. Tropical Soulvangelical admonishes the whole lot of you not to think he has somehow changed his mind regarding taking All Means Necessary to achieve needed goals. He has noticed that since the tragedy in Utah, you're hearing less and less of the phrase "You're Next." It seems as though when that kind of inflammatory language gets used, an eventual tragedy becomes harder and harder to avoid on the horizon. At the present time, TSV has been thinking about his health care with respect to the current shutdown, and he keeps looking at the exchange and state sites, and as of this writing they haven't made any impacted announcements. His current bill has a normal balance on it, but he remains vigilant. That said, he also remains defiant against what appears to him to be a general notion by the central donkeys that he give up his opposition to the central donkeys' anti-Biden stance in exchange for health care. He's not going to give up one thing for another. But doing activism the way the anti-Biden central donkeys want him to he sees as getting involved with all the different conflations health care as through the shutdown to things like the Epstein Files and the demolition of the East Wing. Where the demolition is concerned, he hasn't heard whether there's been a challenge in court accordingly, and why such a challenge would be taking place after the fact in such a passive aggressive fashion. The minute people heard -trump- saying he's not going to demolish the East Wing was when those same people TSV tells them to chain themselves to the East Wing so when the steam shovel shows up that morning, the guy at the controls goes, sir, we've got a problem. Oh, and another conflation and one in which TSV also excoriates the complacent populace with had to do with Mike Johnson's refusal to seat that one House Member and nobody challenging that one as undemocratic. It feels undemocratic to TSV at least, but because it's not -trump- doing it, the conventional thinking he's seeing is not that it's undemocratic but just simply improper. He's happy that the AG of Arizona's suing Johnson over it, but he doesn't think that'll rattle Johnson in any way shape or form. TSV believes that Johnson will publicly score the lawsuit as frivolous and in need of tort reform, and TSV doesn't think anyone will challenge him on it with a witty rejoinder. He hopes for quick action on this one in days to come, but he doesn't think people will feel relaxed enough to make witty rejoinders to everything Johnson says for their being so anxious about the future. This is partly how future anxiety in general TSV observes actually -obstructs- effective action rather than promotes it. What was it that Johnson said? That if -trump- were a king, the government would be open already? All that TSV heard in response from the complacent populace is crickets. TSV regards George Santos not as a free man, but as an escapee. TSV sees that Santos has 6 years and 9 months left on his sentence, and TSV has requested that Santos serve the rest of that time in the jail hereafter with the devil as his warden. Escape? Impossible. Same thing with the 1/6 people and the reality TV show actors. A number of them, too, TSV sees as having time left on their sentences, and a number of them he's sure will commit more crimes in the future. Once they get nailed for that, TSV also requests that whatever time they didn't serve because of a pardon or a commutation be added to the time they serve for future crimes while below the max for those crimes. Nobody but TSV (and myself the Happy Bachelor) are saying this.

So, Tropical Soulvangelical muses, today was No Kings' Day. While he agrees with the general sentiment, he's going to wait at least a week or so before he signs any petitions, because there is, in fact, a far greater need for a No Presidents Day and a No Camelot Day. If a President can just become a dictator at the drop of a hat, TSV's thinking we need to do away with Article II and instead invest executive power to the people via a weekly/monthly ballot referendum. TSV's thinking that's probably how they do it in Scandinavia which is apparently the world's great utopia. Also, remember what TSV got me the Happy Bachelor to write a couple of base shares ago about how about the concept of Camelot with JFK made the royalization of the office of the Presidency official? No Kings, he's thinking, is just another way of saying, oh we're now sorry for what we did and said 60 years ago, but it's just that we didn't think that we were creating -trump- all those long years ago. TSV's thinking that we made -trump- just after 1776 or so when he remembers the one we tend to call "Marcos' Grandfather" who was a history buff remind TSV that George Washington was originally a King, believe it or not. For maybe about a number of weeks or months, the country called him King George Washington, but then decided to rename him -President- George Washington. TSV's wondering if that was just semantics, because a President is essentially a King with term limits and a rephrased title. But what about elections (?), you might ask. Well, contrary to Hillary Clinton and Michael Cohen predicting that we won't have any more elections (period, apparently, not just the Presidency), we're about to elect a Mayor in New York City, and a Governor in "Bachelor Blue State," not to mention that there was a special election in Arizona for a House Rep. TSV's wondering why the same people getting worried about -trump- aren't expressing outrage at Mike Johnson's refusal to seat the new House Rep and not seeing that as election interference? Why aren't the same people expressing outrage at Bachelor Blue State's decades-long political machine system that for some reason overemphasizes endorsements over actual votes? TSV's thinking that if we -truly- cared about democracy, and somehow we like to kid ourselves telling ourselves we just do so at the present time -solely- because of -trump-, why don't the same people (read, the Antibiden Central Donkeys) reform Bachelor Blue State's politics or hold No Kings Or Johnsons right outside Mike Johnson's office? Otherwise, isn't it just lighting the candle at both ends? This is why TSV emphasizes pragmatism over balloons-and-confetti politics like we see at party conventions because who's to say that every four years we hold two plus conventions that the confetti itself isn't made up of shreds of the Constitution itself, or that the balloons aren't symbolic of the great American balloon experiment that pops? This is why TSV's kicking himself for not telling YouTube to not give him any more suggestions from the Heather Richardson channel altogether as opposed to just that one video about some kind of funding deal that Ms. Richardson claims will "greatly" get -trump- closer to authoritarianism. Weren't there people claiming that we're "there" already and if so, why didn't they use the phrase "we can say without hyperbole..."? It's also why when TSV saw that video suggestion that he knew right away that's the Antibiden Central Party continuing to try to distract from the other 1/6 that is 7/24 when they effectively ousted Biden from power and robbed TSV's primary vote from him, and TSV spends every single election placing a write-in for a generic Pro-46 candidate for at least one office. He also knew they're also trying to distract from their own shortcomings and their own lack of what they have to offer the country besides political hypocrisy and scare tactics with -trump- as the perfect storm because -trump does- want to be a dictator. No matter, TSV's thinking, because he won't be deterred by the Antibiden Central Donkeys trying to give him a big runaround when he makes the above all clear and it's going to be 2027 and 2028 that what he's saying -will get repeated by the people- to the Central Donkeys, because by then it'll be fashionable to do so, whereas right now it's fashionable to pretend that the ousting of Biden never happened or is somehow irrelevant. TSV's thinking that the upcoming Pro-46 (which should be happening right now) will take place in the spirit of all means (see below)...

Once again Tropical Soulvangelical notices that the Central Donkeys are at it again, using what TSV calls fatalism, perhaps alarmism, to try to distract from a) their attacks on Biden and b) the fact that they don't feel like they have anything to offer the populace. Gavin Newsom was on Colbert claiming something to the effect of "we may not have an election in 2028." Among other things, TSV takes this as moving the goal posts from last year. What happened then was that both Hillary Clinton and Michael Cohen both said "if -trump- wins this election, there will be no more elections." But TSV notes that among others, there's one that's going to happen in his home state and there's the one in New York City. Why, then, he wonders, doesn't the central party get alarmist about those? This he thinks they should do if -truly- there will be "no more elections." Or do they mean, no more -Presidential- elections? What is -their- definition of "election" anyway? We had primaries in both contests TSV mentions, so those don't count as "elections?" If they meant -Presidential- elections, he wonders why they didn't just say so? And here's another thing. He heard on audio this morning that Bruce Springsteen wonders whether we should have a third party because he says he doesn't believe that the central party is effective in things, and this is nearly 24 hours after Gavin Newsom's claims. At present, TSV didn't hear The Boss predict the end of elections, just his dissatisfaction with both -trump- and the central party. TSV wants to read if that's because Bruce, too, has misgivings or bitterness over how the central party attacked Biden and to date never apologized for it or sought amends. This whole bit about 2028, TSV observes, is an attempt to try to prolong a distraction from the attacks on Biden for -three whole years- as if we're going to be frozen in time at 2025 for all those years. Granted, TSV's not saying nothing bad is going to happen or -trump- won't try anything, but he thinks some perspective is in order if we -really- are going to defeat -trump- and send him to jail and hold him accountable. He thinks he talked about this one before, but generally speaking, you should -always- be concerned about democracy -in general-. He thinks that's what eternal vigilance is truly about, but that the alarmists have deliberately misinterpreted what Ben Franklin was trying to say, and in their own interests (yes Franklin mentioned that one too). Alarmism he sees as a thought terminator (and one which he has often sought to turn the tables on in order to make a point). If someone tries to tell you it's the end of the world, you then cannot argue or discuss the matter without being told you're just being in denial, but instead follow your own frightened instincts and then become malleable to the doomsayers. That's why instead of denying doomsaying predictions, TSV finds other ways of expressing skepticism about them. Where dictatorship is concerned, he wonders whether Camelot with JFK counts as a form of dictatorship in which we were made to regard the Presidency as royalty. If we truly believe in democracy, that kind of worship he contends is inappropriate, but he never hears any such reservations from the central party, only a euphoric recall type nostalgia. He resultingly also wonders whether the assasination of JFK was effectively a political bubble popping reminding us that Camelot was likely not such a good thing the central party thought it was. Both in Obama and Zohran Mamdani the central party insists on seeing a ghost of JFK, and obsessing over the supposed importance of "charisma." TSV points out that charisma is what generally causes dictatorship, because you really have to be an insecure person to be that focused on the "charisma" of the other person instead on your own self-reliance. It's pretty much cult-like thinking. Oh, and another thing. If there's truly an existential threat to democracy that Gavin Newsom supposedly describes, TSV points out that's why you have rebel groups in other countries, so instead of it being like 1984 or Hitler, it's more likely going to be like a rebellion civil war. There was never a civil war against Hitler that TSV was aware of, just World War II. That's why he thinks that tragedy in Utah happened a couple weeks ago. If push truly comes to shove, and as distasteful as it sounds, there are those who are looking to defend our values, by all means (see below)...
