A thread from Rpgnet is telling the story of the election as Epic Fantasy.

quote:

The chamberlain stood her ground bravely and increasingly sweatily. "I'm sorry, but the Speaker will not hear any further entreaties from your Lord."

"Why isssss that?" Hissed one of the Don's emissaries, a gaunt spectre of smoke whose black cloak only vaguely defined a human shape. "Does he not ssssspeak for the House of Red? Did he not ssssswear an oath like the rest? Does he presssume to hold the levies of the Red hossstage against us?"

"Great are the Don's armies and overflowing are his vaults, as it is known." The chamberlain made another placatory bow, the mane of her helmet charring beneath the spectre's displeasure. "But...the Words Unbefitting are, well, just that. Many Lords and Ladies of the Red have sent furious remonstrance and some are even withdrawing their banners. The Lord Speaker but speaks for their protests."

The spectre laughed with the sound of wind howling in a tunnel. "Those petty cowardsss will regret their faithlessness when the Don is upon the Oval Throne. But first, perhaps an example will be made..." Quick as a whip, a talon reached from the folds of the black cloak to claw out the chamberlain's heart. But quick as another whip, a staff of pitted steel swerved and barred the spectre's attack.

"Not here, Giuliani." The Don's other emissary croaked. "Not as guests to the House of the Speaker. There is still power here, even if it is not to our liking."

The dethroned Thane of New York hissed and its tenebrous limb vanished back beneath its cloak.

The Wizard Christie rasped a breath of relief and shifted his bulk back against his staff. Two broken lords, dispatched to demand more aid from the Champion's own House. More gold, more levies, more obeisances, ever more. And the Speaker was the only one, who spoke with the voices of enough of them, that the Don could lean on.

His neck was still red and welted under his chins, and his voice was rough and unused from when he was bound to the Don's throne by that damnable girdle. Since a wizards' voice was his power, he was reduced for a time into a mere manservant for the Don's cruel entertainments. He was free now, of course, and frankly too relieved to think who suffered in his place with that abominable thing wrapped around his neck.

(The Golden Girdle of the Don is light as air and almost invisible under bad lighting, as it is a lasso made from joining end-to-end hairs plucked from the Don's own flaxen pompadour. Though hardly a steep occult price, the very nature of the Don's body rejected giving anything of itself so each hair plucked was accompanied by blinding pain, seismic tantrums and the loosing of a thousand terrible omens upon the earth, and so far the Don's court had only managed to fashion enough of a lasso to bind one unlucky vassal.)

Still, he was the lucky one. None would speak of the dreadful price Giuliani paid to maintain his form on the physical plane, and it was rumored that the rusted half-mask that hung over the void of his face was hammered from the remains of his phylactery.

Christie flexed his power and felt his meridians warm and a little of his gift of gab return to himself. Perhaps it will be enough.

"The Don knows his words and has expressly cast his contrition upon the zephyrs, fanned by the burning of a hundred prime oxen, and I know the Lords of the Red have accepted that. Let this incident be past, and let the war against the witch Hillary resume. Or shall we all sit by, out of some scared avoidance of old taboos, and let the House of Blue sweep across the land?"

"In any casssse, why such alarum when the words our Lord spoke of is engraved in the black hearts of all men? I ssssee so plainly now, sssstripped of the shroud of flesh." The spectre Giuliani added, perhaps unhelpfully.

The chamberlain rocked back slightly on her heels and the Wizard Christie could tell that his spell has taken hold. She turned to open the great doors to the Speaker's chamber, but still hesitated. "In truth, it is not that Lord Ryan would not grant the Don's emissaries an audience. He would hear you demand of him his fealty and his voice to speak for the squabbling Lords. But it would not be any use."

"What nonsense do you mean?" Christie asked as they stepped into the chamber. Then they beheld Lord Ryan, seated pensively upon his own throne.

Ryan the Runner he was known, full of wit that could slash to ribbons men and budgets alike, and his power and standing only grew upon taking up the sacred chains of the Speaker, saddled with the responsibility of calling all Lords of the Red to the moot. And many were the lesser Lords who dared not refuse the call, and not only because of the rumor that he could decapitate a man a from thousand miles away with a windborne whisper.

But now, the Wizard Christie recoiled at the grisly sight before him. Even Giuliani seemed taken aback.

The Speaker had sewn his own lips shut.

I'm gonna be honest here and say that an international globalist conspiracy to prevent the presidency of Donald Trump would give me a much more positive view of the 12-foot lizards that control our government.

like does he not think oppo research exists or something

He's been surrounded by yes men his entire life. I'm entirely sure that he believed that no one anywhere would ever question anything he said on the campaign.

Two point gain for Hill since the last NBC/WSJ poll. Trump stays flat. Johnson falls one point. Stein flat.

Yes. I just wanted to single out how good the women on SNL have been for the last few years. Aidy Bryant is also fantastic, she's secretly their second-best performer.

The best was a follower suggesting that we declare him "president," then fake nuclear war and rush him into a cramped bunker for the next 8 years.

It's possible that Clinton has now pulled in most of the soft support that was going for Johnson/Stein earlier in the summer and fewer remaining third-party voters out there are going to break for her on election day.
