Could it be… Satan?

Tuesday, Nov 3, 2020 - Posted by Rich Miller

* Illinois Review

Congressman Sean Casten appeared to think flashing “666″ (the Biblical number referring to the Anti-Christ) Tuesday along with some folks in a parking lot outside a polling place.

Maybe self-proclaimed atheists like Casten think that’s funny?

Um, I dunno, maybe it’s because Casten represents the 6th Congressional District?…

[Headline explained here.]

    Reminds me of former US Route 666 in western New Mexico, nicknamed the “Devil’s Highway”. The route number was changed years ago, reportedly because of the high number of roadway sign thefts.

    “Maybe self-proclaimed atheists like Casten think that’s funny?”

    As someone who is not an atheist, Illinois Review’s reaction is extremely funny. Why would he flash a 666 at all? If you are an atheist, then you don’t believe in the anti-Christ either. And, you know, Ayn Rand was an atheist…. Just sayin’….

    Sometimes a 6 is just a 6.
    (Hats off to Sigmund Freud.)

    God bless him.


  5. - Donnie Elgin - Tuesday, Nov 3, 20 @ 12:07 pm:

    Now if 6 turned out to be 9
    I don’t mind, I don’t mind


  6. - Bruce( no not him) - Tuesday, Nov 3, 20 @ 12:08 pm:

    Nope, everyone knows satan is Madigan. /S


  7. - phocion - Tuesday, Nov 3, 20 @ 12:08 pm:

    He’s an arrogant goof who won’t last long after Trump is gone.


  8. - Chatham Resident - Tuesday, Nov 3, 20 @ 12:08 pm:

    If he wins maybe he would be better off having his new remapped district get a different number than “6.”


  9. - back bench - Tuesday, Nov 3, 20 @ 12:09 pm:

    looks like they are flashing 5-1-5-1-1-5. Google shows that is the part number of a wheel hub assembly. The part that attaches the wheel to the vehicle. Obviously Casten and crew are trying to tell us that the wheels are off the bus.


  10. - Ron Burgundy - Tuesday, Nov 3, 20 @ 12:09 pm:

    If you see that picture, and Satanism is the first place your mind goes, the problem is with you.


  11. - cdog - Tuesday, Nov 3, 20 @ 12:11 pm:

    Ask Archbishop Vigano what he thinks.


  12. - Jocko - Tuesday, Nov 3, 20 @ 12:13 pm:

    From the post: Casten is being challenged by conservative Republican Jeanne Ives in a close race.

    I need to check with QAnon to find out their definition of ‘close’.

    “I do not mean to pry, but do any of you by any chance happen to have six fingers on your right hand?”

    - Inigo Montoya, undecided voter, maybe


  14. - Earnest - Tuesday, Nov 3, 20 @ 12:14 pm:

    I think that when the third six is signed backwards it means the deathstar is now functional and the 0-ring needs to be thrown into Mount Doom or the illuminati will commence the final programme in the name of the starchild. Oh, it’s 2020, so I’d better add the label. /s


  15. - people caring loudly - Tuesday, Nov 3, 20 @ 12:15 pm:

    Wow, I really needed a good belly laugh today. Thank you


  16. - Rich Miller - Tuesday, Nov 3, 20 @ 12:17 pm:

    I think Casten and his staffer are merely expressing support for Dick Butkus. I don’t know what the other guy is doing.


  17. - Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Nov 3, 20 @ 12:20 pm:

    “Oh yeah, imagine if I ran in the 11th district, no one wants to see my feet”


  18. - Jocko - Tuesday, Nov 3, 20 @ 12:22 pm:

    ==Congressman Sean Casten appeared to think flashing “666″==

    Or they’re each getting one coffee with five sugars. Dear Illinois Review, see how that works?


  19. - Wonk - Tuesday, Nov 3, 20 @ 12:22 pm:

    A classic Dana Carvey clip is the last thing I expected to see today, but just what was needed.


  20. - IL4Life - Tuesday, Nov 3, 20 @ 12:31 pm:

    I am an actual atheist. I can assure you that the number 666 is completely meaningless to me and to my friends, most of whom are also atheists living here in Illinois, not worshipping anything.


  21. - Independent - Tuesday, Nov 3, 20 @ 12:32 pm:

    The third guy is obviously pining for a return to the glory days of Jim Miller as quarterback.


  22. - Lucky Pierre - Tuesday, Nov 3, 20 @ 12:36 pm:

    They are actually indicating how many times they have voted today


  23. - Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Nov 3, 20 @ 12:37 pm:

    “Jeanne” has 6 letters.

    I know, mind blown, amirite?


  24. - Fav Human - Tuesday, Nov 3, 20 @ 12:38 pm:

    He knew exactly what he was doing. It’s an animal house like attempt to bait the supporters of his opponent. Not quite peak childishness but getting close.


  25. - Oswego Willy - Tuesday, Nov 3, 20 @ 12:39 pm:

    “Ok, to win free Krispy Kreme donuts for you and your families for a year… what was the briefcase combination in the movie ‘Pulp Fiction’…”


  26. - 47th Ward - Tuesday, Nov 3, 20 @ 12:40 pm:

    LP, that was funny. More of that please. Humor helps make people here realize you’re not a robot.


  27. - thisjustinagain - Tuesday, Nov 3, 20 @ 12:43 pm:

    Hey kids, find the hidden symbolism, and WIN an Illinois elected official”

    If we spin the picture backwards, is there also a secret message? :)


  28. - Keyrock - Tuesday, Nov 3, 20 @ 12:43 pm:

    I’m trying to figure out why 2 of them have their left thumb up and the other fingers of that hand down, and one has the right index finger up and the other fingers of that hand down, but I can’t make sense of it. I’m sure Q has the answer . . . .


  29. - Crash - Tuesday, Nov 3, 20 @ 12:48 pm:

    One strange but unfortunate thing:

    They are wearing masks, so you know they must be Democrats.

    Most Republicans would have refused.

    It is unfortunate that in a pandemic response, politics to some has overcome science.

    But in any case, I for one am convinced that the point is to show #18, and on this day, remind people that Mike Tomczak was one of the greatest quarterbacks in Chicago Bears history.


  30. - Montrose - Tuesday, Nov 3, 20 @ 12:52 pm:

    Well, isn’t that special.


  31. - The Magnificent Purple Walnut - Tuesday, Nov 3, 20 @ 12:52 pm:

    I thought they had lunch reservations in Wheaton for 6. Thanks to back bench, I now have “The Wheels on the Bus” song going through my head. Yeah, thanks a lot.


  32. - Dotnonymous - Tuesday, Nov 3, 20 @ 1:06 pm:

    We thought you said Rock…Paper…and Satan.


  33. - Precinct Captain - Tuesday, Nov 3, 20 @ 1:20 pm:

    Tinfoil hats off to the Illinois Review! Can’t wait until I see this stellar investigative reporting on 60 Minutes!


  34. - Socially DIstant Watcher - Tuesday, Nov 3, 20 @ 1:32 pm:

    ==Um, I dunno, maybe it’s because Casten represents the 6th Congressional District?==

    Maybe he’s signaling the Democrats’ secret plan to expand the US House of Representatives and add 648 congressional seats to the Illinois delegation! Casten, as the evil mastermind behind the plan, will represent District 666.


  35. - Lake County Mom - Tuesday, Nov 3, 20 @ 1:33 pm:

    What Earnest said.


  36. - Streator Curmudgeon - Tuesday, Nov 3, 20 @ 1:45 pm:

    Maybe they’re each showing how many times they can listen to the “Kars for Kids” commercial before screaming at the top of their lungs.


  37. - @misterjayem - Tuesday, Nov 3, 20 @ 1:48 pm:

    “It’s an animal house like attempt to bait the supporters of his opponent.”

    You should stop visiting 8chan.

    – MrJM


  38. - Soccermom - Tuesday, Nov 3, 20 @ 2:19 pm:

    You think that’s petty? Wait until you see what our campaign has planned…


  39. - OneMan - Tuesday, Nov 3, 20 @ 2:43 pm:

    Donnie Elgin….

    Nice


  40. - Mal - Tuesday, Nov 3, 20 @ 5:16 pm:

    Well Sean Casten just earned himself a spot in many End Time and Biblical news reports for now and many years to come. Just a sign of the times as we are already in those days.
