Paying Attention™ Secret Word – Stabotage

Maybe One Day He’ll Stop Punching Himself (And Us) In The Face

April 3, 2025

Convicted Felon and Traitor Donald Trump has just implemented what experts are describing as “worse than the worst-case scenario”. Not satisfied with sabotaging every single aspect of the American political infrastructure, half-president Don finally announced his completely insane and ruinous plan to tariff tax the living shit out of the American people.

Don decided to call yesterday “Liberation Day” (George Orwell is vomiting in his grave). He is thrilled to be liberating Americans from their savings. We’d better hurry up and celebrate while we can still afford food (and everything else).

Yes, he will not stop saying that these tariffs will put the screws to the rest of the world, these tariffs taxes paid by American consumers will bring serious pain to all of us non-billionaires.

This is not just sabotage. Sabotage is often subtle in order to hide what the saboteurs are doing. It’s like when smart criminals wipe their fingerprints off the murder weapon and the rest of the crime scene.

This is stabogage. It is a indisputable and flagrant figurative knife to the heart of America, in broad daylight. Why couldn’t he just shoot someone on Fifth Avenue like he promised long ago?

Most experts predict that the entire economy, including the loss of 5.5 million jobs is likely to collapse in a heap of stupidity. No small amount of which can be credited to all the morons and assholes who decided it was a good idea to put a convicted felon, who has bankrupted countless business, including casinos, committed at least one rape and is accused of some two dozen others, and who has been showing signs of severe dementia, or at the very least immeasurable stupidity, stole a truckload of classified documents, and oh yeah, incited an insurrection against the very government he was running to lead. And that doesn’t even include all the batshit crazy things he’s done since taking office.

To be fair, just about everything the two half-wit half-presidents have done since January 20, 2025 has been stabotage. They are poised to kill research, kill aid to starving children, kill farmers who grow the food the government buys to provide aid to starving children, kidnap American citizens and sending them to torture camps in foreign lands – who are paid handsomely to incarcerate those we have sent away, many if not most of whom have done nothing wrong*, kill the environment, kill countless American men, women and children, kill everything except – anyone want to guess – tax cuts for the murderously rich, who they will turn into Frankenstein’s monster.

Not that we haven’t known this for at least 10 years, but Don is out of his fucking mind. And he is going downward – taking the rest of us with him – faster than Wile E. Coyote strapped to an ACME rocket.

Thought For The Day – Insanity Thy Name Is…

Drawing A Line In The Head

April 2, 2025

Dosvedonald keeps repeating things like we will be taking Greenland one way or another. Or, Canada will be the 51^st state.

“If you look at a map, they drew an artificial line right through it between Canada and the U.S., just a straight artificial line. Somebody did it a long time ago, many, many decades ago, and makes no sense.”

Don simply won’t let up on his dangerous and wholly delusional, perseverating over owning Greenland. His most recent tragic talking point: “We’ll get Greenland. Yeah, 100 percent. I never take military force off the table, but I think there’s a good possibility that we could do it without military force.” Or maybe just a Sharpie. You know, like somebody did “a long time ago, many, many decades ago” with Canada. Perhaps Don should have a long talk with whoever did that…if he hasn’t already done so.

Finally, a jacket that fits

Don's new brainworm* is his hair-brained idea that he will indeed be getting a third (or is it fourth) term. “I have had more people ask me to have a third term which in a way is a fourth term because the other election was totally rigged.”**

When asked whether he has been presented with plans to allow him to seek a third term, Trump said, “There are methods which you could do it.” Maybe a Sharpie?

Yes, there are methods. We saw one of those methods tested out on January 6, 2021. All the other methods are equally illegal, insane and fascist.

When asked if he was joking the reply was “I’m not joking.” This is difficult to believe for many reasons, not least of which was his previous statement, “I like to work.” Though we all know that dementia (and/or syphilis) is no joke. Maybe this is why Don just fired everyone in the federal government dealing with Alzheimer’s.

You know the old saying: the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

There’s an updated version: the definition of insanity is Donald Trump.

Stink Bomb Don

The Smell Of Sucks Ass

April 1, 2025

Taking a break from the paralyzing politics of the day, let’s talk about personal hygiene. We all know that El Disgusto’s politics are stinking the place up. This could be said about plenty of politicians throughout history. But Donny Douchebag has other special powers that have rarely if ever been brought forth as accusations about our highest-level politicos.

The Pied Pooper

Reports constantly surface about various emanations from all manner of orifices belonging to Donny Dirtbag. Considering what we know of what goes into his piehole, it is no surprise that we hear such things. Many of these reports of olfactory oppression predate the addition of much-less-than-pleasant musky odor that was added into the malodorous mix a few months ago. One imagines if Don was not such a vengeful, psychotic thug, we would hear many more stories of people, weeping in agony, keeling over, and vomiting when within nose-shot of this festering garbage scow in an oversized suit with a necktie designed to compensate for something no one really wants to discuss.

Anyway, Trump’s toxically foul emanations – there are very foul poisons from both ends – are much less toxic to those either out of range or upwind than any other single smelly action he has been farting, belching and vomiting up every single day in his rapidly-deteriorating-dementia-addled assault on our Constitution our democracy and our nation.

Question For Day One

The Day Of Our Lives

I misplaced my calendar. Is it Day One yet?

Bonus Question:

Can anyone afford America anymore?

Paying Attention™ Secret Word

What Is That Suffocating Stench?

March 30, 2025

Full disclosure: I’m not some kind of genius. I’m not any kind of genius. I’m just a regular guy who might wear tennis shoes or an occasional python boot. But this seems so painfully simple. So painfully dishonest. So painfully full of shit.

All kinds of people are running around with their hair on fire about Social Security being unable to fund full benefits by the year 2035. They come up with all manner of workarounds – cutting the staff to a skeleton crew, closing offices (while simultaneously demanding people show up in person rather than phoning to resolve issues), raising the eligibility age, reducing benefit amounts – and then offer pathetic, bullshit (at best) excuses as to why Social Security is simply not sustainable in its current form. fElon Muskkk calls it a Ponzi scheme.

Thankfully, surprisingly and likely just-not-yet, team Trump has not recommended (at least not publicly) simply “eliminating” some number of those collecting the money they have long been promised for all their years of work and paying into the system. Of course, if these ghouls – led by the world’s richest asshole fElon Muskkk – succeed in gutting the Social Security Administration, which they are very close to doing, there will be plenty of death to go around.

 

It Doesn’t Fucking Have To Be This Way – This Is Fucking Bullshit

Two easy fixes jump right out. The option that hews less to the letter of the law would be to cut or eliminate benefits to those clearly not in need – the toxically rich.

The fix that I have been caterwauling about for decades is much more simple, much more fair and much less painful to 99% of Americans. And it has to do with this:

In 2025, the Social Security tax limit, or the maximum amount of earnings subject to Social Security taxes, is $176,100.*

There is only one way to respond to this bullshit: are you fucking actually fucking with me? Ironically (to put it politely), anyone making this kind of annual money should not only be paying the Social Security tax on every fucking penny they earn like everyone else, INCLUDING MIGRANT WORKERS WHO WILL NEVER COLLECT A PENNY, but these are the same people who should be recused from collecting Social Security (and Medicare for that matter) when they reach the appropriate age.

Talk about a fucking Ponzi scheme.

And just think about those making ten times that $176,100/year. Someone once said of these leeches, “You didn’t build that.” They did not get that rich without taking advantage – quite literally – of the largess of the American taxpayer. They are happy to step over us, or stomp on us, using our infrastructure, on their way to the top. Their custom-made imported leather shoe prints are constantly messing up our hair and flattening our heads.

This thievery must stop. This is total, unmitigated, runny, fuming BULLSHIT.

I have not heard anyone discuss this.

Did I mention this is BULLSHIT?

The Parasites

DOGE DOUCHE

March 29, 2025 

Don Trump and fElon Muskkk are parasites. Period. Tick, leech, tapeworm, pick your blood-sucking analogy. They have latched on to the body politic.

Most parasites “know” that they need their host to survive. They take what they need, but killing their host is a murder/suicide pact.

The parasites Trump and Muskkk are some of the dumbest parasites in biological history. They will not be satiated until they have sucked out every last drop of our money, our sanity and our precious bodily fluids.

Speaking of parasites, Muskkk’s beloved 19-year-old DOUCHE Edward Coristine, aka “Big Balls” was already known to have been a bad boy. While in high school three years ago, Balls ran a network services company linked to cybercriminals. He was also fired from an internship after bragging how he had accessed “every single machine” and was suspected of leaking propriety information to a competitor. Coristine describes himself On LinkedIn as a ‘Volunteer (Intern) Plumber’ with the U.S. government. So, he’s a “volunteer”? Surely there’s something in it for him. Or maybe he just enjoys fucking things up. Nice kid.

Meanwhile, back at the car company that is being constantly and illegally touted by government officials, including a QVC-style infomercial on White House property, and currently under the protection of the fake Department of “Justice”, it seems fElon’s books are off by around $1.4 billion. Waste, fraud or abuse?

Muskkk should step down from his car and dumbtruck company before the whole enterprise collapses under the weight of their CEO’s disastrous, reviled perfidy. Surely he will be able to reinstate himself once he takes over the whole world.

He seems perfectly fine. No, really.

Also, you might have missed the most recent scabinet (sic) meeting wherein myriad scabinet secretaries groveled, praised and figuratively fellated Muskkk lest he sell America, Trump and all of their sorry asses to the highest bidder. As our alleged government threatens to make displeasing Muskkk a federal crime. This from the folks who had nothing to say when some syphilitic, semi-plasticized elderly golf cheat who holds all of our marbles, but has clearly lost most of his own, granted full pardons to countless thugs who assaulted democracy and the Capitol, and injured or caused the death of 140 law enforcement officers while attempting to take over the government. At the behest of the elderly golf cheat.

Good times.

Speaking of waste, fraud and abuse (aren’t those Don’s oldest children?)…

This is mind-bogglingly true

Pic Of The Day – Gratuitous Dic Pic

Not A Thousand Words, But Worth It   

March 28, 2025

Though we always strive to keep it clean here, other than the occasional fucking swear word, pleas allow us this one transgression (that’s transgression Don, not transgender). We felt an overwhelming need to post the following dick pic:

Dick Hegseth

At least 18 high-level Trump scabinet secretaries and others – good thing they got rid of all those DEI hires – were found to be some of the most incompetent and downright stooopid primates ever to serve in the executive branch (that’s executive Don, and not a threat to execute you).

Perhaps the most ironic moment – other than the entire fucking historically dimwitted episode – was former weekend Fux News mouthpiece and repeatedly outed alcoholic asshole covered with a bunch of Christian nationalist tattoos* including a new one aimed at insulting the Muslim world, Pete Hegseth – did I mention his previous job was a weekend putz on Fux – referred to actual journalist Jeffrey Goldberg, who Hegseth was too stupid to notice was on the top secret, war-planning (they didn’t even tell Boss Don) group chat on a public platform they were warned never to use as “a hateful and deceitful and highly discredited so-called journalist who peddles in garbage. That’s what he does”. Well, if that isn’t the pot so-calling the kettle garbage.

To be fair, Hegseth is the most monumentally unqualified, obliviously unprepared, manifestly incompetent defense secretary in history.**

“If you are using unclassified means there is the potential for and likelihood that foreign govenments are targeting those accounts.”
                 Boozehound, and all-around hound Pete Hegseth,
                               2016 – discussing her emails

The Real Asswipes Of Washington, DC

Take your pick of historically incompetent fucking nitwits, lying sacks of shit and/or situational (one assumes) amnesiacs who are up to their beady little eyes in what is now being called Signalgate: There’s dumbass VP Vance; Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard – Putin’s little bitch who can’t remember what she had for breakfast by the time dinner rolls around; or Trump’s little bitch/Secretary of State Marco Rubio; or CIA head John Ratcliffe; or real estate developer oh, and Trump’s Special Envoy to the Middle East who must have gotten off at the wrong stop and was IN MOSCOW while on this call on his personal, unsecured phone; or anti-FBI FBI head Kash Patel; or maybe National Security Advisor (radical Christian psycho Mike Flynn’s old job-for-three-weeks before leaving in disgrace) Mike Waltz, the one who presumably drunk-dialed Atlantic Magazine Editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg into the party; or of course our choice for today’s big winner/loser – mega-dumbass, alcoholic-not-so-anonymous, bull-goose bozo Pete Hegseth – or any of the other 18 fuckwits on the Houthi bombing raid TikTok...oh sorry, Signal clowncar chat. 

      “We are currently clean on OPSEC [operational security].”
                  Couldn’t-be-wronger Pete Hegseth during
                 national security disaster Signal group chat

Someone needs to buy these clowns an IQ – they could share one.

The big problem with the coming Signalgate blowback, and the mounting calls for the resignation or firing of schmucks Hegseth and Waltz, is that based on what we know of the Colostomy-in-chief*, is that when one of his ‘best people’ either wakes up and smells the covfefe and quits before their careers and lives are completely ruined, or is forced out for treason, or stupidity, or whatever, they are inevitably replaced by someone shockingly worse.

“Under the previous administration, we looked like fools. Not anymore.”
           “Former” boozehound, all-around idiot douchebag
           and soon-to-be-ex Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, 2025
   (two months before looking like as big a fool as you’ve ever seen)

*Who at the time of the assault on Yemen, and American national security via the Signal app, was busy – as usual – cheating at golf at Mor-on Lago in sunny, stupid Florida. He later claimed to know nothing about anything, which we have always known.

Thought For The Day – They've Got A Secret

  

Slop Secret

March 26, 2025

Many people are most recently worried about (among countless other most recent things*) half-president fElon Muskkk getting top secret access to the Pentagon’s war plan against China. There are too many conflicts of interest between Muskkk and China to mention. A betting person would not be frivolous to put money on fElon siding with China over America, as would other-half-president Don. They would happily sell us down the Yangtze. If they haven't already...purposely or otherwise.

Think This Is Hyperbole?

It has just been reported that fElon Muskkk’s SpaceX (whose vehicles still explode less often than his Dumbtrucks) allows investors from China to buy stakes in the company as long as the funds are routed through the Cayman Islands or other offshore secrecy hubs, according to previously unreported court records. There's just about everything to see here folks.

Two things:

1) If this was true, Muskkk would be getting this access from alcoholic right-wing nut-job and current Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. So, in a way, how much worse could it really get anyway.

2) Both Muskkk and Don, backed up by Hegseth, insisted that this meeting never took place. So, in a way, we now have confirmation that the meeting did in fact take place.

Armeged Don with his new owner

I have a request for the media: when talking about a story like this, please refrain from phrases like “explosive details” or “explosive breaking news” or the like.
