The Glowing Orb Folks Found Just A Bit Odd

Trump Touched A Glowing Orb In Saudi Arabia And Folks Found It Just A Bit Odd

Trump’s visit to Saudi Arabia has been fraught with controversy, from a potentially-illegal $110 billion arms deal, to his shifting rhetoric on Islam, to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates’ massive donation to Ivanka Trump’s “women’s empowerment” fund.

It was already a lot for any news consumer to take in. And then came the orb.

Q: Who is Wormtongue?

Hint: He needs a razor, a comb, and a face cloth.


...and probably clean underwear, too.

He also needs to sober up. (Not much hope there.)

Last grasped, they say, in the bigly paws of Adolf Hitler (shudder) or maybe the eeevil Lords of Chaos (R).

Thank you for this. It reminds me of when I was a kid, watching "Monster Movie Matinee" on Saturday afternoons.

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.

Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;

Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,

Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,

For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.

Cool it with a baboon's blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.

Good thing Nancy and her astrologer are no longer advising the president today.

10. It's not JUST an orb, it's the Loc-Nar

Most of us have seen "Heavy Metal," but for those who haven't...

The Loc-Nar is a green, glowing sphere that houses the sum of all evil. Most of the people who touch it dissolve.

11. The Loc-Nar turned good people evil

So does that mean evil tRump was turned into good tRump?

Heck, I'd have been happy if it just melted his skin off.

It didn't turn Den evil. It gave Hannover Fiste the courage to speak out against Captain Sternn. Except for the astronaut, everyone the Loc-Nar killed was already a monster.

Remember how they were killed and then brought back by the Loc-Nar as zombies? I always thought that was the best episode in the film.

19. They had just dropped bombs on an unknown target

Bombs are indiscriminate in who they kill; maybe the authors of that piece believed anyone who'd drop bombs was evil by default.

Someone on Twitter said it looks like a scene straight from a James Bond movie.
