My brain is fried today, for a good reason I’ll have you know. So instead of a regular post I’m just going to post these pictures of Steve Bannon that I’ve made extra creepy with some weird filters. Click on the pics to see them in all their full-sized glory!
Feel free to use this as an open thread to talk about things other than the creepiness of Steve Bannon.
In case you want to make your own weird pics of Nazis in the Trump administration, I do these with custom filters on DreamscopeApp.com.
EDITED TO ADD: If any of you are writing a science fiction novel about a certain Trump administration official in space, here’s a cover you can use.
EDIT AGAIN: Sometimes the DreapscopeApp filters sort of malfunction and produce weird glitched-out pics. Here’s one of Trump that ended up way creepier than it should have. Click on the pic to download it directly into your nightmares.
@Sheila Crosby And Trump immediately denounced the attack. What, no waiting for facts? No ‘both sides are violent’? The victims speak Spanish, surely he must think they’re bad hombres!! /sarcasm
@dreemr
A few months ago, I could’ve made the same claim! Color’s a different story, though.
@Sheila
…Whuh-oh. Dave, might be time for an Open Thread.
“Stevie, baby, I am LOVING the energy! Keep it right there. Okay, now give me…PALPATINE! Great, you’re fabulous, now give me…DEEP-IN-THOUGHT PALPATINE! Fucking brilliant, okay, now go for…STIRRINGS-OF-AN-INAPPROPRIATE-BUT-DELICIOUS ERECTION PALPATINE! Beautiful, you nailed it, one more set, yeah? Good, this one’s for North Korea, Banny, we gotta sell it, so sex it up! Okay, give me…CONSTIPATED PALPATINE!”
@Zatar
I already consider anyone in a Punisher shirt a potential threat. Add another one, I guess. The fuck, Marvel?
@Alan
Reminds me of my favorite racism timeline graph

@Falconer
Dammit, can we get him smuggled into a Swedish courhouse instead?
Every time I look at Steve Bannon I think “ew, eat a vegetable”. He looks horribly unhealthy. Like he lives on greasy sausage rolls and never showers. It makes me itchy all over. Someone should give him a good scrub and make him eat a carrot*
*I am not volunteering
@still fiqah hahaha!
A good article on Bannon’s outburst:

Starting my 3.5 year long social work program tomorrow.
That last pic is definitely buying into the Chuck Tingle theory that Trump is a horde of screaming void crabs in a human suit. Now they’re so confused they can’t keep it quite on.
What he looks like is my alcoholic uncle.
@Imaginary Petal
Congratulations! You got this.
As to Assange, I always thought he was sucking up to Trump in the hopes of being allowed to come to the US for asylum. I think (I hope, that is) he might find it less pleasant here than he imagines.
@Imaginary Petal: All the congratulations!!!
@Axecalibur: I don’t know if it’s such a good idea to have Assange smuggled to a Swedish court.
Swedish courts are very lame towards rapists.

My reply/correction got scooped by Banananana dakry:
I also thought of Chuck Tingle when I saw the last picture. XD
@Violet – Yup. Every single one of these guys looks like someone fictional and scary. Geert Wilders looks like a high-ranking SS officer in every picture he’s in. And David Duke looks exactly like that undead preacher dude in POLTERGEIST II.
I do not understand Assange at all. I wonder if he’s just a psy op? I thought he had got in with the leftie Bernie fans, not he’s chewing Trump’s tomato? What’s he playing at?
Russia’s political policy these days is best summed up as “both extremes against the middle”. That’s why they seem perfectly at home supporting either far-right or far-left movements in other countries, but never anything centrist or establishment. In Greece they support SYRIZA which is radical leftist, whereas in Western Europe they’ve been favoring right-wingers like Le Pen.
Since Assange has close ties to Russia, it’s likely he can be described the same way, hence the Bernie/Trump duality.
Also: Augustus Sol Invictus is running for U.S. Senate in Florida as a Republican. He was a speaker at the Charlottesville rally. Bad news!
Looks like “Faceless Trump” is getting to be a thing:

Those who want to find the IP for whatever web presence da1lyst0rmer has left will have to use the well-known twitter clone for the alt-right, “gab”. Yeah, I don’t even know the URL for that service, but it’s around somewhere.
@Ray of Rays
Don’t know about Faun, but I have read “Mall Purchase Night” by Rick Cook. I prefer his other works, but it’s barely tangentially related to Walpurgisnacht.
@Tov
Several US Intelligence agencies consider wikileaks a “foreign intelligence service”, and with good reason.
According to CNN today (it was on at work), Bannon called White Nationalists “a collection of clowns”.
I guess that makes him Bozo.
Bannon is attempting to re-distance the alt-right from white nationalists. I hope he fails.
I came across the Mississippi Secession Statement recently. It includes:
It’s an interesting statement about the huge contribution made by African-Americans to the welfare of the entire world — although that’s probably not quite how they meant it.
