I'm no Sauron fan, but here's why forming a fellowship to raid Mount Doom and destroy the One Ring is going to enrage his base
@joshcarlosjosh “Look, I’m no fan of Emperor Palpatine, but attacking the Death Star will only give the Empire the fuel it needs to win the mid terms.” -Senator Joe Organa-Manchin (Alderaan)
@joshcarlosjosh Also Yang: "We must join with him. We must join with Sauron."
@joshcarlosjosh @WilliamBibbiani One does not simply walk into Mar-A-Lago.
@joshcarlosjosh I couldn't help myself:
@joshcarlosjosh "I went to law school with the Witch-King of Angmar and here's why I think he'll be a good choice for the Supreme Court..."
@joshcarlosjosh But what about Fatty Bolger’s laptop?
@joshcarlosjosh @RevDaniel Every so often there comes along a tweet that, for just a few moments, soars above every other tweet. This is that tweet.
@joshcarlosjosh I love Lord of the Rings. The message was to always wield power indiscriminately against all your enemies because they deserve it, consequences be damned. Did I get that right?
@joshcarlosjosh "Look, all I'm saying is, if the Hobbits raid Mordor, they can raid any of us."
@joshcarlosjosh Who cares? It’s not like the Orcs and Easterlings were going to vote for Elessar anyway.
@joshcarlosjosh @Joi_the_Artist Make Angmar Great Again
@joshcarlosjosh gollum is gonna speak on this at the four seasons landscaping company
@joshcarlosjosh I'm no Morgoth fan, but here's why sneaking into Angband, enchanting him, and recovering a Silmaril from his iron crown is going to enrage his base
@joshcarlosjosh I'm no fan of him either.
@joshcarlosjosh In my essay, I will explain why it's time for Sauron to step aside and not run again
@joshcarlosjosh I’m no Hirohito fan, but declaring war on Japan after Pearl Harbor just enraged his base. Now they will be big mad.
@joshcarlosjosh Why DOES this non-elected group of nine fellowship members get to decide whether we have to destroy the ring?
@joshcarlosjosh If they can go after the dark lord of the one ring, imagine what they could do to Isengard.
@joshcarlosjosh Saruman is basically a NeverSauron wizard lol
@joshcarlosjosh Think of how the Balrog contention will handle this...
@joshcarlosjosh Cool comparison but IMHO Trump is no Sauron, or even Saruman. The closest equivalent in LOTR is Grima Wormtounge. Narcissistic, lustful, unfaithful, brutish, compulsive liar and charlatan.
@joshcarlosjosh well, according to stuff I've read, it totally enraged his base. to be fair, tho, he was big burning-eye mad before they did anything
@joshcarlosjosh First they came for Sauron, and I said nothing, because I wasn't an orc-breeding Dark Lord intent on ruling Middle-earth as God-King...
@joshcarlosjosh Why did the fellowship not simply ask Sauron politely to stop?
@joshcarlosjosh His base is rabid...literally.
@joshcarlosjosh Which is why they should have just scrambled some giant eagles and done away with the ring before Sarumon could build up an army. But noooo, they have to create all this drama, give speeches and whatnot...
@joshcarlosjosh Where do you land on Shelob and the Balrog? Both provide fresh perspectives since they are outsiders and not beholden to Minas Tirith, Edoras, or the libs in Rivendell.
