George Washington (looking down on MAGA): So what did I do all that for?

alarod.bsky.social @alarod.bsky.social · 23m

The fact that an unabashed Fascist movement (MAGA) can exist and actually flourish in America is an Abomination in and of itself. It is clear that a certain segment of the population has completely forgotten what World War Two was all about. Disgraceful. This will deface American history forever.

After Arthur defeated and killed Mordred at the Battle of Camlann in 521, he retired from the kingship and became a monk at Yn Choloo (Calf of Man). In 531, at the age of 66, he caught the flu and died. Only his Scottish grandson Smervie was at his bedside to see him off.

Arthur lived from 465 to 531 AD. I don’t think he would approve of ICE, because ICE isn’t chivalrous. His bastard son Mordred tried to kill him, but was killed instead. Then Arthur became a monk in Annwm (the Isle of Man) for the last ten years of his life.

What did she say? Back up! Methinks she did not think that one through.

Republicans, explain to the world why you hate Anti-Fascism. You’re a disgrace!

Mordred: Father, teach me sorcery!
Merlin: I can’t do this. Mordred, I have to tell you. I’m not your real father!
Mordred: Oh no! Then who is?
Merlin: Arthur is.
Mordred: What! I’ll kill him, and mother too!
Merlin: Hold on, they’re innocent. It’s a long story.
Mordred: I’m still going to kill him!

Lot: That old sot Merlin! He knocked up my bride and now I’m stuck with his brat, what’s his name?
Morgause: Mordred.
Lot: I’ll challenge him to a duel!
Morgause: Don’t, lord. He’ll cast a spell and drive you mad.
Lot: I all ready am! You had best give me many sons, you’re lucky I am forgiving!

Arthur: It was an accident. We were wearing masks, we knew not who we were!
Merlin: Now your half-sister is pregnant! But the child must die! He will destroy Britain, I’ve seen it.
Arthur: What must be must be. She wants the child. After its birth, take them to Lot.
Merlin: I’ll tell him it’s mine!

Arthur: I shall fight Lancelot in Benoic. He has taken my wife thither, he must pay.
Merlin: She was being burned at the stake, he rescued her.
Arthur: But what he did!
Merlin: Hypocrite! How many maidens did you despoil in your youth? And he but kissed her hand! Your “honor” will kill Britain!

Balor was the Gaelic god who Sauron was based on. He had twin sons, Beluid and Bhain. Beluid went to Argyll and started the Epidi. But Bhain went to the Hebrides and started the Ebudi, who continued the ferocious old ways of the Fomoire in Ireland. They were pirates.🏴‍☠️

Bull: As you can see, we are defending Portland from the invaders. A little help here, please?”

alarod.bsky.social @alarod.bsky.social · 23h

Cu Chulainn: So you are of the Fomor. Do you still practice their old ways?
Epidian: Not us, we just breed horses. But our northern brethren, the Ebudi, are still hardcore Fomorian. They come here every year to get maidens for human sacrifice.
Cu Chulainn: I’ll talk to them.
Epidian: Good luck!

Trump is not as noble as Genghis. He’s more like Idi Amin, a killer buffoon.

Trump: I can do any bad thing I want, and all they do is talk and complain about it. That’s not much incentive for me to stop doing bad things, is it? And impeachment absolutely does not work!😉

The name of the Celts comes from the old word “Keltoi”, which means “the hidden ones.” This refers to the old Celtic belief that in the beginning they emerged from underground.

After their defeat by the Sons of Mil, Bodb led the Tuatha De Danaan to Mona (Anglesey). His nephew Manannan quarreled with him and sailed away with many Tuatha. They came to the island of Annwm, where they settled. Annwm was later called Mannin (Isle of Man) after Manannan.

After the Fomorians were defeated by the Tuatha De Danaan, Beluid son of Balor took them back to their old home Lochlann (Kintyre). Beluid married a Pictish woman and their son was Epos. From this time forward, the Fomor were called the Epidians. They married Gaels and became Gaelic in Roman times.

The Solymoi of Lycia were one of the Sea Peoples who went west around the time of the fall of Troy. They went first to southern Italy, where the Lucanians called them the Elymi. After living in Calabria for awhile they moved to western Sicily, which became their permanent home.

in ancient days, some of the Irish in Ulster formed groups of raiders and pirates who were called “sgaothach,” which means a swarm, or a mob. Before Fergus came on the scene, many pirate bases were in Kintyre. The word Scot comes from sgaothach. So Scotland is named after a bunch of mobsters.
