Many people are
saying that JD Vance is currently residing with Jimmy Hoffa. No one has seen or
heard from Vance since election day.
Personally, I
believe he is only brain-dead, but that's nothing new for the spineless toady who said Trump was America's Hitler and then kissed Trump's ring and body-part-that-shall-not-be-named. There is still a chance
that Vance is physically alive and just waiting for marching orders from his boss,
who likely has forgotten Vance even exists.
Someone should tell Trump the check between the couch cushions.
Our continuing coverage of the carnage returns with more of
the shame. Il Douche is still busy figuring out who the worst people in the
world are so he can bring them into his democracy-ending administration. And
many Americans are still trying to wrap their heads around the fact that a
majority of those who showed up at the polls to vote for president have their
heads wrapped in tin foil.
Well, it could have been worse. At least we (and by we I
mean the great mass of slobbering assholes who voted to make America part of
the USSR again) didn’t elect a mass murderer…oops, forgot about Trumpletting
tens-of-thousands of us die during COVID. Well, at least we didn’t elect a
serial rapist…oops, we kinda did that. It’s not like we elected another white
guy who despite inexorable, relentless evidence to the contrary insists the
already-in-progress climate crisis is a hoax…oops, wrong again; does he think
the Earth is flat? I don’t recall anyone ever asking him.Well thank goodness we didn’t elect a
lifelong criminal who has spent his entire life ripping people off with grift
after fake charity after grift after fake university after grift…oops again.
But at least we didn’t elect a dementia-ridden, toxic narcissist with nothing
more than a lizard brain and sociopathic, fascist dreams of world
domination…oh, crap, what the fuck have we (see above parenthetical quip) done?
This is how the rest of the
world sees Trump…including Putin
Get ready for Trumpordering the military to nuke every
windmill from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
The pundits are caterwauling about Harris not addressing
this issue or that issue or this demographic or that demographic during the
campaign. What the fuck did Trump
talk about? Hannibal Lecter having you for dinner. Sharks v. Electrocution.
Windmills cause cancer. Toilet flushing. How well he gets along with murderous
asshole dictators. How stupid everyone else is. Revenge. Doing the Thorazine
shuffle for 40 minutes in front of an audience so he could avoid answering
questions because his brain was melting. Or simulating oral sex with a
microphone stand. These are the issues America wants addressed.
Why didn’t Harris think of that?
So, our best days are behind us…and they’re preparing to
kickus in the ass…to infinity and beyond.
DEMOCRACY CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS
DEPARTMENT
That’s right folks. Countless morons are having bozo’s
remorse. Googe searches for “Can I change my vote?” went through the roof in
the states Trumpwon.
As reported by Heather Cox Richardson
At the same time, a new study out today from Data for
Progress showed that people who paid “a great deal” of attention to political
news voted for Vice President Kamala Harris +6, while those who paid “none at
all” went +19 for Trump.
Yup. Diaper Don won the shit-for-brains vote hands down. Trumpis now (most likely) a one-term president, and America just might be a
one-term country.
Now, Trump
is once again “joking” about getting a third term. He told his new House
majority, “I suspect I won’t be running again unless you say, ‘He’s so good
we’ve got to figure something else out.” Make no mistake; these are marching
orders, or as one zombie Rep. Troy Nehls from Texass put it, “I f Donald Trump
says jump three feet high and scratch your head, we all jump three feet high
and scratch our heads. That’s it…Donald Trump is never wrong. Think about it,
he’s never wrong.”
Buckle up. There is going to be severe turbulence. Keep your
hair-sick bag handy.
R.E.M. - It's The End Of The
World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)
Personally, I don’t
feel all that fine.
I. Mangrey still sick and dizzy after all these days.
It has been challenging to do just about anything…like
breathing for example, since that terrible, very bad, ugly day in early
November – yet another Trump-related
date that will live in infamy. Putting coherent thoughts together is a task
more daunting than most, and much less enjoyable than ever.
Trump
is determined to hit the ground ruining. Since he already used up all the worst
people he could find to populate his first administration, he is scraping
underneath the bottom of the barrel to find a new crop of deviant, demented clowns
to soil the federal government this time around. If you are someone who was
never frightened of clowns, prepare to start now. More on this cancerous circus
later.
Trump
will look to join the Axis of Assholes, playing back-up stinker to Putin, Xi
and Kim. And, as Kamala Harris said, they will eat his lunch, which would kill
most mortals. So, we’ll just have to wait and see.
It’s easy to understand people focusing on short-term
needs/wants while ignoring long-term devastation. I guess it’s also easy to
forget who caused the short-term woes – it’s the same fuckers who have been and
refuse to stop causing the long-term death and destruction. It was the Trump-backing corporate
overlords who are entirely unable to see anything but their net worth. Nothing
else has value to them and the people who keep voting them into power are
simply too stupid to have a say.
I am not in favor of literacy tests as such, certainly not
solely for one particular segment (people of color leap to mind) of the
population. I am in favor of having everyone – myself included – having to pass
some sort of knowledge-of-civics with maybe a side of current events and
history, or maybe who your fucking elected officials are quiz before being
allowed in a voting booth. You have to pass a competency test before driving a
car, why not require the same before allowing someone to drive the country into
the ground?
People – we’ll call them people for the sake of argument – in
several states voted to protect a woman’s right to choose while also voting for
an admitted, nay proud pussy-grabbing rape-adjacent (at best) criminal, who has
been credibly accused of at least sexual assault by more than two dozen women,
and described by a judge as having committed the equivalent of rape against E.
Jean Carroll.
Wait until these dipshits realize Trump’s plans to make America fucked again.
Sorry, that was a bit unfair, Trump
has no plan other than to staff every nook and cranny with ultra-loyal zombies
who will do whatever he tells them. And to seek
vengeance. And end democracy in America.
You might remember the calamitous cast of cringey characters Trump surrounded himself (and
us) with to populate his cabinet. I will not remind you of their names, but you
may recall that they seemed to be the worst of the worst when he announced them
and they did disappoint… spectacularly and relentlessly. Wait, it gets worse. Much,
much worse.
This time, playing the part of #47 in his ongoing surreality
show, Der Furor has had to dig deeper to find an even worse batch of
miscreants, morons and treacherous cretins. For example, he picked a weekend
Fux News numb-nuts Pete Hegseth – someone with zero experience of any kind (except
lying on Trump’s behalf)
– to head the Department of Defense. Trump has also nominated fellow
accused-pedophile and rabid MAGAt Matt Gaetz to be the worst Attorney General
in American history.* Then there’s preacher/media whore Mike “Rapture Please”
Huckabee – who wants Jesus to return to either convert or kill all Jews –
pegged to be the new ambassador to…wait for it…Israel. Best idea since gas
chambers. Wonder if Mike will get antsy and take the Rapture into his own
hands. And that’s just the beginning.
Trump only considers two criteria for his cabinet picks. First
and foremost, they must be unquestioningly loyal to Trump and only Trump. Not God,
not country, not family, not themselves. Second, they must be camera-friendly. No
other qualifications need apply.
Frank Zappa - When The Lie's So
Big
Mirror Morons
Someone asked me how these treacherous cretins in the Trump/Fascist Party can look at
themselves in the mirror. The answer assaulted me in a flash: it’s easy,
they’re all vampires and have no reflection. And yes, that is obviously a
completely unavoidable double entendre.
There are brain cells called mirror neurons. These
cells activate when a person performs an action or observes someone else
perform the same action. These neurons also fire when we experience an emotion
as well as when we see someone else experiencing an emotion, such as happiness,
fear, anger, or sadness. Mirror neurons are involved in feeling empathy.
Our incoming administration is clearly devoid of any such
brain matter. They care nothing for understanding the actions, thoughts or
needs of others. While they are charged with governing an entire nation, they
care only to govern those they agree with. And even that is mere pretense.
This looks to get worse before it gets much worse.
_____________________________________________ *Before Gaetz can begin to
make his stain on American justice, he will have to be approved by the Senate. Gaetz is as popular in the House as Ted Cruz is in the Senate. Gaetz stands
accused of sex trafficking and drug abuse and only managed to quash a House
Ethics Committee investigation into his behavior by resigning his seat just the
other day. Is this fun or what?
I. Mangrey recovering. Barely. Not really. Not yet.
Remember
when everyone was apoplectic over radical Muslims chanting “Death to America!”?
Funny how times change. That was the exact platform Trump ran and won on. And now, when you’re a
president they let you do it.
Looks like the shoe
is on the other fascist.
“He’s good and bad.
People say he’s a dictator. I believe that. I consider him like Hitler. But I
voted for the man.” Proud,
brainless, fascist Pennsylvania voter Matt Wolfson
AndTrump won’t sign the ethics
pledge he himself signed into
law. What are the odds?
We would have been much better off
with President Pizza Rat.
Too mammal, too late
Meanwhile, the whole world’s
watching in horror…with the exception of the overabundance of murderous
dictators licking their chops at the thought of owning Trump, or at least renting him from Elon Musk – the
Austin Powers villain now telling Trump what to think.
Prologue/Someday - Chicago Transit Authority
This has been your Paying Attention™ Thought
For The Day. RESIST!!
I
have long thought that one must be purposefully ignorant in today’s world. All
the information you could ever want is right there…on your fucking phone. And
therein lies one of the problems – the word ‘want.’ One must want to gather
information, to examine conflicting views, which are always out there, and now
– for not even a nominal fee – readily available.
One
of my other long-held beliefs, one that is backed up by science (yeah I know,
science is so pre-Trump), is that the conservative mind tends to fixate on one thing, cannot
entertain conflicting ideas, and is likely to choose blind faith. The liberal
mind investigates options, can weigh various viewpoints without causing brain
damage, and tends to question everything…including itself. What you end up with
is someone bringing a thesaurus to a gunfight.
Which
brings me to a quote by the late, great Hannibal Lecter…I mean George Carlin
“Ignorant
citizens elect ignorant leaders. It’s as simple as that.”
Which
reminds me of a few quotes by H.L. Mencken
“On
some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their
heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright
moron.”
“Nobody
ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public.”
And
so, here we are. Instead of electing the first woman president, we elected the
first convicted felon/mental patient/insurrectionist and adjudicated sexual
assaulter. Someone who attempted to end the peaceful transfer of power. Oh yeah,
and he also stole classified documents after being voted out of office. The ass
ceiling has finally been shattered. Next stop democracy in America.
America
just elected a lame fuck president. There will be hell to pay, not least of all
for most of his supporters – the non-billionaire ones. Though his detractors
will have no easy row to hoe.
Perhaps
most interesting of all, Trump and his delusional, deplorable cultists would have burned the house down
had he lost, now he will now own the House, slap his fucking name on it and do
what he always does – run the place into an unrecognizable dung heap on the
ground.
That’s
just how he rolls.
And he
already used up and spit out all the best people. Bring on the C-Team. His new
chief-of-staff acted as a lobbyist for the tobacco industry. And ketamine
enthusiast Elon Musk is Trump’s new co-owner along with Vladimir Putin. Trumpwants
Musk – who bought Twitter and made it much more Nazi-friendly while trashing
its monetary value – to redesign the government to make it more efficient. Trump wants RFK, Jr. and his pet brain worm to handle the rest – except for
finishing off the planet with fossil fuels.
Hide
your daughters and the good silver.
This has been your Paying Attention™ Thought
For The Day. Have a nice
day.
As the horror sank in and I
was able to drag myself out of bed, after dashing off a couple quick posts, I decided
I couldn’t take it anymore. I shut the garage, got in my car, and started it
up. I lay back and waited for the sweet relief of carbon monoxide. After a half
hour or so it dawned on me that I have a fucking electric vehicle, dashing my otherwise beautiful and flawless plan.
Rent-A-Coma it is.
So, I resigned myself to
continue living, as I hope you have. But another thing occurs to me. This could
be the best day of the rest of our lives. Oops, did I type that out loud?
So, I want you to get up
now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right
now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell: ‘I’m as
mad as hell, and I’m completely fucked beyond all imagination or hope!’
Wake me after the
asteroid hits. On second thought, where the hell did I put my ENDITOL?
I suddenly understand the
appeal of authoritarianism. Because right now I feel like Joe Biden should step
down, leaving Kamala Harris as president. President Harris should then expand
the Supreme Court by executive order*, declare martial law* and have Trump locked up for committing treason* by colluding with Russia…again.
And when Trump’s minions
begin their long-lusted-after uncivil war, President Harris can deal with the
new insurrection just as Trump promised he would deal with “the enemy from within,”
and I quote, “and it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by
National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military, because they can’t let
that happen.”
What’s good for what
countless generals and intelligence experts labelled the “greatest threat to America”
is good for a patriot protecting America from that “enemy from within.”
_____________________________________________________ *Can she do that? Well, thanks to the new improved presidential immunity
edict, when you’re a president they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab the
pussy by the balls.
