If this is appropriate, it needs to be explained! Otherwise, what does this have to do with the price of beans?

Pull your head out of

...the hole in the ground it is apparently in.

Steve Scalise was shot by a Bernie Bro at the Congressional Softball game by a guy who asked, “Are those the Republicans over there?”

Trump missed having his brains blown out in hi-def 4000 by the grace of God and literally less than the blink of an eye.

Most of the school shooters are transsexuals.

And now Charlie Kirk.

It’s hot the “right wing gun nuts” doing all the shootings.

It’s the left.

I dunno, maybe you’ll find a way to ignore even this instead of noticing.

Well “watchman”, what is it you are watching? You should be ashamed of yourself. May God have mercy on your soul.

"The Ents, ancient tree-like beings of Fangorn Forest, were enraged by Saruman's destruction of their trees to fuel his war machine at Isengard.
 This act of deforestation, which included the burning of trees to keep his forges running, was seen as a profound insult and a form of mass murder by the Ents.
 Spurred by the hobbits Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took, who had been captured and later escaped from Isengard, the Ents convened an Entmoot, a council, to decide their course of action.
 After a three-day deliberation, they decided to march on Isengard in what became known as the "last march of the Ents".

The Ents, led by Treebeard and accompanied by the hobbits, arrived at Isengard on March 2, 3019, during the late Third Age, just as Saruman's army was departing for the Battle of the Hornburg to attack Rohan.
 With most of the defenders gone, the Ents launched their assault, easily destroying the gates and southern walls of Isengard within minutes.
 The attack was so fierce that the sound of the Ents' bellowing could break rocks.
 Despite the initial success, Saruman, trapped in the impregnable tower of Orthanc, activated his underground war engines, setting many Ents ablaze and killing one named Beechbone.
 This act of violence only intensified the Ents' wrath.

Realizing they could not breach Orthanc, the Ents devised a new strategy. They diverted the river Isen by demolishing the dam, flooding the entire valley of Isengard and drowning the fortress's underground workshops and pits.
 This final act of destruction, which occurred around midnight, left Saruman isolated in his tower, surrounded by water and the watchful Ents.
 The entire force of Orcs and Men defending Isengard was destroyed, potentially numbering one or two thousand.
 Although the Ents could not capture or kill Saruman, they successfully dismantled his military power and cut off his ability to aid Sauron.

After the war, the Ents were granted the restored valley of Isengard by King Aragorn, who had been crowned King Elessar.
 They renamed the area the Treegarth of Orthanc and transformed it into one of the most beautiful gardens in Middle-earth.
 The Ents also received land in the Misty Mountains, known as the Watchwood, where they continued their search for the Entwives, a lost race of female Ents.
 The destruction of Isengard by the Ents was a pivotal moment in the War of the Ring, demonstrating the power of nature to rise against industrialized destruction and significantly weakening Saruman's threat to the West.."
