Democrats Employ the Black Arts Against Kavanaugh

Party of "Science", my ass: Democrats Desperate to Stop Kavanaugh Nomination Resort to … Witchcraft

Friday at midnight, a group of witches will cast a “binding spell” against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, following a ritual devised for this occasion by a Baltimore-based wizard. Michael M. Hughes is author of Magic for the Resistance: Rituals and Spells for Change, and leads a Facebook group for “resistance witches and magicians.”

Wednesday, Hughes published instructions for an “Emergency Ritual” intended to prevent the confirmation of Judge Kavanaugh, whom Hughes calls a “lying, entitled, arrogant, rapey piece of garbage.” Those participating in the ritual are directed to use two candles, a tarot card and other implements, while reciting various magical incantations, e.g.:

I light this candle to honor Christine Blasey Ford, Deborah Ramirez, Julie Swetnick, and all women who have been harmed by Brett Michael Kavanaugh

. . . and:

I bind you, Brett Michael Kavanaugh
I bind your groping, grasping hands
I bind your leering eyes
I bind your lying mouth . . .
I bind your genitals, that they may fail to bring you pleasure at another’s expense . . .
You are powerless over any woman you have abused
Your foul deeds have bound you
To their consequences
And as the elements expose
What lies hidden beneath the soil
So you wicked behavior
Shall be exposed to all

In terms of preventing Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation, we can expect this spell to be at least as effective as Michael Avenatti’s client.

So, if, as we all strongly suspect (even Democrats. deep in their cramped little hippocampuses), Brett Kavanaugh did none of the things he's accused of, does this spell rebound on it's casters? It seems only fair.

Reason #5458 Trump Was Elected

Democrats, the party of science! A Nationwide Network of Witches Plan to Hex Donald Trump

Starting at midnight on Friday, witches around the country are calling for a mass spell to be cast on Donald Trump every night of a waning crescent moon until he's driven from office.

The spell was publicized by Michael M. Hughes, who told ELLE.com that it was tweaked from multiple spells he saw going around private witchcraft groups. He published it on Extra News Feed because he felt "it would be very welcome to a lot of people." It quickly spread, with events being formed around the country and support on social media.

Hughes explained that he chose a binding spell because "we're not wishing harm on anyone, we're just trying to stop the harm they're doing. It's not the equivalent of punching a Nazi in the face, it's the equivalent of tying him up and taking his bullhorn away."

The ritual itself is pretty standard magic working, binding Trump from doing harm to others and to himself, rather than asking any forces to do harm to him. There are objects to represent the elements and to represent Trump himself. The tarot card of the Tower represents ambitions built on lies, which are struck down by a lightning flash of truth. For those who believe in witchcraft, it looks to be an effective spell.

Wow, the Tower! It must be effective. The science is settled! Wombat-socho has "Rule 5 Sunday: Massachusetts Girl" ready at The Other McCain.
