The Mandate of Heaven?! Mandate?!

Last edited Mon Oct 7, 2019, 08:49 PM - Edit history (1)

I must admit that I slept in today. I did wake up just to discover that 45 is pulling out our troops from Northern Syria, leaving our Kurdish allies to fend for themselves from an imminent Turkish invasion. I'm appalled! How did it get so one man, (ONE MAN!) do something like this for all of America?! Then I read that our Orange one claims his "great and unmatched wisdom"! "F- it", I said as I went back to bed, "Too much is happening and my brain isn't digesting everything"! Now I pull myself up, get some coffee in me and find trending on Twitter 'Mandate of Heaven'? Did I get up in the Bizzaro World or something?

Let me ask you, did the Cubs win the World Series in 2016 in your dimension? Near as I can tell, that's when ours split off the mainline Universe. Been pretty damned weird ever since.

I do remember some New Age folk telling about how people with 'Good Vibrations' (or something like that) were splinting away from those with 'Bad' ones. Or was that dream?

That Chineese Emperors used to justify their rule (similar idea to "Divine Right of Kings" That European monarchs claimed).

These Republican fuckers are undermining the Enlightenment (And the entire basis of our Republic).

vanquishing him, they made him their king. Or their emperor (with no clothes), anyway.

@billprady
To be clear, he did not lose the "mandate of Heaven" when he took babies out of the arms of their mothers or food out of the mouths of starving children, right?

David Brody
@DavidBrodyCBN
To be clear: Evangelical leaders are NOT HAPPY about @realdonaldtrump decision to pull out of NE Syria. See the tweet by @USCIRF plus Pat Robertson says, "The President of the United States is in great danger of losing the mandate of Heaven if he permits this to happen."
