Thought For The Day – Trump = 9-11

Horrifying, With A Chance Of Death And Destruction

June 2, 2025

Der Furor is on a pardon spree. Looking over the list of Trump’s Who’s What-The-Fuck it is obvious that besides simply flipping off democracy, America and humanity, he is amassing his own private militia – much like the gang of every TV Batman villain. Drug dealers, murderers, con artists, he pardons the best people.

Arch-villain The TACO*- his henchmen look on in horror as he does his death dance

You might think his scabinet is a bunch of sleazy fuckwits, and of course you’d be right, but he has let loose, not only his January 6 henchmonkeys, but now a fresh new batch of maniacal malfeasing miscreant morons.

Pouty McFuckface and bunch-of-sleazy-fuckwits scabinet

In 2001 people were known to say that 9-11 was that era’s Pearl Harbor. Donald Trump’s presidency is today’s 9-11. Another terrorist attack on home soil.

Ariel Baddass on the air and taking your requests

May 30, 2025

Hey boys and girls, cats and kitties, all the ships and clippers at sea. This is Ariel B spinning platters of various sizes, though we always defer to vinyl whenever possible.

I. Mangrey perusing the playlist

We’ve been focused on playing your requests, but sometimes your faithful DJ just has to take the old tonearm into her own hands and lay something on you that you might not know but are sure to request regularly once it gets into your system.

With such a vast quantity of  shit hitting so many fans, the Paying Attention news, entertainment and dire warning crew is doing everything they can to stay on top of the mountain of hourly disasters that is the current state of affairs. As I watch them stagger around our non-existent secret undisclosed location, it’s clear they need a little cheering up, a musical interlude if you will.

Here’s a catchy ditty, a little-known classic we know you’re gonna love. This one’s for me and the gang at Paying Attention™. And for you, the discerning public, yearning to breathe free. It’s one of our favorites, and really, pretty much the theme song around the office these days. I dare say there is no other song that so accurately, succinctly and pleasantly sums up our current situation.

Enjoy.

Exclusive Offer, Just For You

 

Making (Up) Money

May 25, 2025

This is your lucky day.

Get in on the ground floor. A special offer for you, the loyal Paying Attention™ sucker reader. As much as we value our unimpeachable integrity, times are tight and we gotta do what we gotta do to survive. Any day now we will start running out of precious commodities like toilet paper, Spam, string cheese, and everything made in China (which is just about everything). The prices of the few things that remain available are predicted to skyrocket. Also, the supply chain is poised to be disrupted, leaving us with, if I may coin a phrase, grocery store shelves resembling the COVID Times.

But this is about us, not you. And we need your money. And we need it more than you do because we are us and you are not. Not that we don’t appreciate you, just that we would appreciate you all the more if you would stop being so selfish and find it in your wallets to get in on this great deal.

On the heels of President Hungry Hippo-crit’s Give-Me-A-Million-Bucks-And-Then-Come-To-My-Gold-Plated-Roach-Motel-To-Lick-My-Balls gala at Mor-on-Lago, it is clear that something has to change here at Paying Attention™.

A recent article in Rolling Stone reported that the main regret (other than not completely destroying democracy) of his first term was that “he was wrong to leave a ton of money on the table as president.” Don felt bad about on occasion being persuaded “to side with government ethicists who cautioned him from obliterating the line between public good and private gain.”  

Clearly, this convicted felon is not going to make this same mistake twice, as evidenced by is billion-dollar-suck-up-bash, attended by those who bought the largest quantity of Don’s personal griftcoin. The mostly anonymous – some in masks – attendees were mostly foreign money…I mean people, looking to own a majority share in Trump – not the coin, but the president –  is all the proof we need of that – not to mention the literally countless other examples of all-the-proof-we-need-of-that.

Don’s spokesmodel claimed that her boss was doing his private money-making during his time as a private citizen, and not in his “capacity” as “president”. Unlike most, well, all, private citizens this pile of poop in a suit spoke to his adoring psychophants, in what critics called “an orgy of corruption” from behind the presidential seal. All of the $394 million of blood-money raised went right into Trump’s undeserving pockets.

Well friends, the team at Paying Attention™ is not going to make the mistake that #45 made. We are prepared to do whatever it takes to cash in while there’s still something left over after Il Douche rakes the rest of it in.

Fuck Dogecoin, which has fElon MusKKK’s stench all over it. Fuck Shitcoin or Trumpcoin or whatever the fuck Don is calling his own private non-existent fake money product. And so what if this fantasy financial free-for-all is already a massive accelerator of climate crisis.

Announcing the Paying Attention™’s new big, beautiful griftocurrency BITCHCOIN.

Yes, we are jumping into the fake money market. If it’s good enough for the president of the United States, who during his first attempt at destroying this nation said of cryptocurrency, “Bitcoin, it just seems like a scam. I don't like it because it's another currency competing against the dollar. It’s potentially a disaster waiting to happen. They may be fake. Who knows what they are? I think it’s a very dangerous thing.” Now that Donny Dollar is himself competing against the American dollar, cryptocurrency is apparently just fine.

This could be me!

So why should good people like us…well me, get left out in the fake money cold? Sure, griftocurrency doesn’t actually exist in the real world, but the real world is now a figment of the imaginations of Baby Boomers. But just because BITCHCOIN doesn’t exist doesn’t mean you can’t drop a few hundred, thousand, or even a million real bucks into the market. We practically guarantee that you will make double, triple or maybe even 1000 times your money back.*

Get yours now, while non-existent supplies last. You don’t want to be without toilet paper and BITCHCOIN. Well, do ya punk?

____________________________________________-
*Eventually. There’s no actual timeframe, and you could just as easily (probably more likely) lose every penny when the fake market self-destructs, but don’t fret because your loss is our gain. Pretty cool, right?

Thought For The Day – The Manchurian Comedian

Classless Clown

May 21, 2025

Don insists he was once again joking when he campaigned on “fixing the economy”. Either that or, as is happening more and more by the minute, he simply misspoke. If he meant to say “fucking the economy” then he is in fact keeping a campaign promise. Bigly.

He couldn’t possibly do any more damage to this country on every imaginable front, and on some you have yet to torture yourself into imagining, if he was doing it on purpose. Hey, wait a minute…

Swimming To Scambodia

May 19, 2025

Swimming In Sewage Builds Character…Or Something

Unfortunately, I all too frequently find myself forced to think about RFingK, Jr. and his endless insane bullshit. Whether it be him advising people to do everything possible to die from preventable disease, his self-professed lack of any clue what is happening in the department he heads.

During recent testimony before Congress, Worm Wonder – the guy who generally won’t Shut. The Fuck. Up. about vaccines and debunked remedies testified “What I would say is my opinions about vaccines are irrelevant. I don’t think people should be taking advice, medical advice from me.” Then, one wonders, why don’t you keep your fucking stupid opinions, which you know full well millions of non-worm-brain-damaged dipshits obey like zombies, putting the rest of us at risk, to your worm-damaged self? Methinks he doth be full-of-shit too much.

RFingK, Jr. takes grandkids for the shittiest swim ever

Grandpa Bobby took his grandkids to swim in a local watering hole known for its sewage content. Rock Creek has been deemed unfit for human activity since the 1970s. There are still signs posted prohibiting swimming in the E coli-infested waters due to, you know, raw sewage being dumped into it. This is just like having RFingK, Jr. dumped into the American health care system.


Apparently, Bobby’s brainworm ate the part of his brain
that can smell raw sewage or read warning signs

Presumably, Roadkill Robby was hoping to find a dead bear to cook for dinner, or maybe just drive it around in his truck and dump it in Central Park or maybe on someone’s front lawn for fun.

The sheer stupidity of this episode is dwarfed by the fact that rather than keeping his incredibly irresponsible idiocy a family matter, Brainworm Bobby posted this to MusKKK’s anti-social media platform formerly known as Twitter. What a maroon.


To reiterate, he posted this himself...on purpose

Could there be a better metaphor for the slimes…I mean, times in which we find ourselves than the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services forcing his grandchildren to swim in raw sewage? I think not.

Could History Repeat Itself?

All of this makes me wonder if maybe Sirhan Sirhan has a son who’s looking for something to do to make a name for himself.

I. Mangrey reporting. What's your excuse?

Don Trump Actually Fucking Said This™*

 

I Know I Am, But What Are You?

May 17, 2025

Fresh off his Middle East Finger/Death-To-America tour where Der Furor called America a “STUPID Country”, the Man Who Would Be Thing went after Bruce Springsteen for telling the truth in public.

Springsteen, who for the most part keeps mum on politics, came out in strong support for Kamala Harris and worked to warn people about The Thing running against her and democracy in the lead-up to the 2024 election.

Bruce has always seemed a decent, thoughtful, caring human being. Don doesn’t know the meaning of any of those words. Springsteen has taken the mantle of the great patriot/performer Woody Guthrie. Trump learned everything he knows from Roy Cohn and myriad murderous dictators.

In London last week, Bruce opened his Hope and Dreams Tour show thus

Springsteen keepin’ it real

Unsurprisingly, Dumb Don’s graphene-thin skin was irritated. Naturally, being the mature person (one assumes) he is, Don took to his failing fake Twitter/X to go after Springsteen

Even for the Projector-in-chief this is some top-shelf, very specific, exhaustive self-own. Not one word of this psychotic drool actually applies to Springsteen, but Every. Single. Word. describes the guy who wrote it while sitting on his gold toilet in magnificent, hilarious detail.

The Boss, who is 75 – and is a and is in very different shape than his slightly older target – told his audience (and the world) “The America that I’ve sung to you about for 50 years is real and, regardless of its faults, is a great country with a great people, so will survive this moment.

The Putz called America a “STUPID Country” full of “SUCKERS”. Again.

So which one sounds like a patriot, and which one sounds like a STUPID SUCKER who hates this country?

More important than all of this, who gets bigger crowds? Every fucking day of the week.

Thought For The Day – Not My President, Part II

Is Being (A) Stupid (Country) A Choice?

Even A Broken Dick Can Do Some Serious Fucking

May 16, 2025

As the saying goes, even a broken clock is right twice a day. MOBY-DON (who is also a dick) proves that a broken man can also be right, though more like twice a year. In this case however, this dangerous douchebag is both right and wrong.

While Don was on his murderous-Arab-dictator-blow-job tour, he took his lips away from the posteriors and other various body parts of his fake-fawning hosts to give a shout-out to his alleged home country, which as surprising as it might seem based on his actions clearly bent on destroying said country.*

The Screeder Of The Free World

Whining about American birthright citizenship, this is what the doddering dipshit had to say to the entire world, who for the record is currently laughing and/or cringing as they watch the United States committing slow-motion suicide:

“We are, for the sake of being politically correct, a STUPID Country…”

For good measure, he also described us all as “SUCKERS”.

Unfortunately, Dumb Donald does have a point. At this very moment we are in fact a “STUPID Country” full of “SUCKERS”. Not because we grant anyone born on U.S. soil full citizenship, but because any toxic narcissist, authoritarian grifter, even one who is a convicted felon/rapist and unrepentant traitor to this country can be elected president and then set about dismembering a two-and-a-half-century-old democracy in a matter of months.

This is not said to be rude, just accurate.

________________________________________________
*Without even mentioning his psychotic acceptance of Qatar’s Trojan Airplane, to the tune of $400 million in completely illegal emoluments, which will cost the American taxpayers even more than the sticker price to retrofit before making it Airforce One-ready, only to turn around and hand it over to Don if he ever leaves office in a vertical position.**
**Speaking of SUCKERS, it turns out that Qatar has been trying to dump this flying white elephant since 2020. 
In 2020, an aviation magazine noted, “I can’t imagine Qatar will find a buyer for this plane, so one has to wonder who this 747-8 will be gifted to.”It has been costing them a fortune just to store and maintain, so they finally found a dumb-ass, a SUCKER if you will, to take it off their blood-and-oil-stained hands. If we do live in a “STUPID Country”, it is because we have a SUPER STUPID PRESIDENT. There is a way to fix that.

Inquiring Minds Want To Know (Sort Of)

May 15, 2025

An odd thought just crossed my mind...

Today’s Question For The Day:

So, if the Earth is flat, does that mean that the Moon is flat? The Sun? All the other planets and stars? And what about meatballs?

Bonus Question:

Are flat-earthers able to feed themselves?
