The word pronounced "Esh she" is spelled s-i-t-h in Scottish or s-i-d-h-e in Irish. Sidhe or Sith, this is a title for a group of Fairies that you do not want to meet. The word sith is much, much older than Star Wars. Star Wars just pronounced it the way it looked. The word sith in Star Wars is a bit of an Easter egg for the few that know the mythology.

Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden novels. Harry is a wizard and he has a Sidhe "fairy godmother", one Leansidhe by name. She is not a nice being, not at all. Had no idea "Sith" was the Scottish version of Sidhe. Thanks!

DescriptionThe Sith are major antagonists in the space opera franchise Star Wars. They are depicted as an ancient monastic and kraterocratic organization of supernaturally gifted warriors driven by a machiavellian agenda of galactic domination and revenge against their arch-rivals, the Jedi knights.

Love it when that happens, but often two hours burn up as if they never existed.

Trump is still providing his daily smoke screen for the Republican Senate to continue to shove thru stuff right and left. The predominately Republican owned mainstream Media gives little press to the daily corruption of our Democracy being done by the Republican Senators! Here is just more attention to Trump, that has been going on continuously for years, while the Republican Senators are using Trump’s daily antics to divert attention from all they are doing……….(like today trying to change the rules so that they can shove their judges through at an even greater rate. Changing 30 day approval time to two hours!.....See Daily Koz!)

Trump would not exist for a minute if it weren’t for the Republicans in congress totally enabling him so they can pull this crap off……….and yet no press is ever given to all the Republican congress’s evil doings! If the Dems would just focus every day on talking about all of this crap being shoved thru instead of continually having their attention on Trump, maybe something would change!!!!!!

I love Jim Carrey's Art and Politics, but he should also do ones of the Most Corrupt Senators that are enabling this Chief Scum Sucker, Mr. Trump. Trump could not exist for ten minutes without all of the Corrupt Republican Senators keeping him there!

Focus on the Republican Senators actions every day, not the smoke screen Trump they are using masterfully as a diversion.

Owned by the billionaires who own the Republican Party lock, stock, and barrel, the media in America push the oligarch version of “what should be” 24/7. Hate radio pushes the billionaire view on something like 80% of the radio stations in America.

That they get the airwaves for free is another outrage, but something needs to happen in this country to stop the complete rape and pillage of most of the country by a handful of sociopaths and psychopaths. The whole situation is unbelievable.

He's a redneck sith, perhaps, but don't insult the sith by comparing them to Donald.

A sith would never be as obvious as Donald is. They do all their plotting in the background, over a long period of time, patiently and painstakingly.
