Kinda surprised that something sane tumbled out of his mouth.

edit: apparently, it wasn't as sane as the headline made it sound, lol

It wasn't actually sane. It was batshit crazy. The headline was really working overtime to tone it down into a rational thought.

“That gets in the whole other idea about religion being as a way to control people, control thought maybe, which is pretty wild. But disclosure, I think needs to happen. It’s going to be interesting to see how it happens, where it happens.

“But in my space where I’m at, where I do a lot of plant medicine, the veils between worlds and dimensions gets very thin. So the idea of seeing other entities, seeing angelic type of beings and demonic type beings is very normal. And the idea that there’s a demonic aspect to the UIP phenomenon, I think is very It’s plausible and interesting.”

A broken clock is right twice a day

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 15 points 4 months ago (1 children)

But he isn’t right nearly that often, lol

[–] HonkTonkWoman@lemm.ee 6 points 4 months ago

He has managed not to expose himself to any reporters, so far. For whatever that’s worth.

I guess that means he’s still outperforming his predecessor, but… wtf.. Green Bay? That’s twice?

Kinda makes you wonder what fuckery Fields will bring to the table.

This clock has spirograph shapes instead of hands.

[–] Supervisor194@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

He's actually worse than a broken clock. Even twice a day when he manages to be right, he's wrong - because he's so phenomenally stupid.

You might wanna check the clock
