Pic Of The Day – A Metaphor For The Upcoming Midterms

Dreaming Is Healthy

Apropos of nothing and everything. This little ditty appeared on the internets soon after El Destructo slithered onto the political scene. It still brings a smile to the face every time. We often leave it up on the big screen at team meetings and lunches.

Question For The Day – Steal Plating

The Art Of The Endless Steal

May 25, 2026

President Godlesszilla continues his swath of destruction of the nation’s capital. Demolishing everything in his path. East Wing – smashed. Oval Office décor – trashed. Reflecting Lake Pond Pool – gashed. Economy –crashed. Intelligence – Kashed. Teeth – gnashed.

Not only is this monster doing horrendous physical damage, get a load of this: The Lizard King Brain said it would take “$2 million” to repair the pool. Biden wanted to make the long-needed repairs, but did not want to spend the money given the economic state of affairs during his presidency.

Now that we’re torching money on an illegal, disastrous war-for-no-reason in Iran and the economy teetering on the brink of recession, Der Furor is now telling us that this pool emergency is poised to clock in at $20 FUCKING MILLION FUCKING DOLLARS.

Today’s Question For The Day:

Exactly how much do we figure Donny is skimming off the top?

Which Reminds Me…

An even bigger, more blatant and more illegal grift* remains afoot now that the Senate majority leader commanded his flock to abandon ship for the holiday rather than vote on ending this artless steal. I’m referring to the nearly $2 billion earmarked for the criminally insane and just plain criminal supporters of Trump who claim to have been victimized by having to face justice. It’s not enough that these slime were pardoned by the criminal-in-chief, now they want a paycheck for violating this country.

According to the “agreement” payments will be reported quarterly to the “Justice Department”. All records are to remain confidential, and the fund’s board – hand-picked by Trump’s flunkies – will be the ones to decide whether to disclose their processes for granting or denying claims. Or presumably, who (i.e., Donald Jeffrey Epstein Trump) gets the money.

The agreement also stipulates this lovely piece of filth over here…

 

The gist: Trump’s past, present and future tax crimes cannot be so much as looked at by the IRS in perpetuity. Same goes for his family and all associated “businesses”.

Bonus Question:

Does anyone think any criminals other than Donny Dearest will ever see a penny of this booty? Remember when he said he would cover the legal expenses any of his idiots would incur for beating up anti-Trumpers?

Spoiler alert: He didn’t.

Trump is a man of no one’s word.

Thank you for your attention to this monster. It ain’t easy.

Thought For The Day – Goof For The Gold

Paying Attention™ Putz Prize

The Man of Dementia (take that Cervantes) insists that his brilliant handling of everything, everywhere, all at once has America living in a “Golden Age” when in fact what we are living in is a giant, endless Golden Shower.

Trump’s Golden Age is strictly the province of his super-rich cronies. The only gold they will share with us is in the form of the aforementioned showers. To be fair, this has always been the truth about so-called “trickle-down economics”.

As the saying goes, “It is better to be pissed off than to be pissed on.” Most of America today is both.

An Apology

Oops. We almost forgot to mention the

It won’t happen again. When to the Epstein/Trump victims get their billions? And some justice.

Your regular host Ariel B is still sleeping off the effects of losing another anchor on our little boat being tossed around in Donald Jeffrey Epstein’s Sea of Shit. I thought we could use a little distraction. Everyone here at the non-existent, secret, undisclosed location is sad to see Stephen Colbert yanked out from under us by Captain A-scab.

Anyhoo, we’re all big Todd Rundgren fans, from Nazz to Utopia to his many “solo” efforts.

This one from Todd’s 2021 Space Force popped up on YouTube…

Todd Rundgren & Rivers Cuomo – Down with the Ship

Which led us to one we’d forgotten from 2017's White Knight…

Todd Rundgren – Tin Foil Hat (feat. Donald Fagen)

This, in turn reminded us of another from the Space Force effort. Sure, Margie has left the building, but let's not forget who and how she was before she finally woke the fuck up and smelled the covfefe.

Just in case you need a little more, here’s an old favorite from 1969’s Nazz Nazz album. This one goes out to Greenland – forever may you stay out of the tiny decomposing clutches of Donald Fucking Trump.

So long Stephen, and thanks for all the fucks (and yuks). And Fuck you, CBS.

This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things

A Plant For All Seasons

May 20, 2026

Here’s a little something to take your mind off the sheer stupidity, death and destruction of the Trump era. After all, he is but a symptom of a much deeper, dumber and deadlier problem that is much older and likely to only worsen. I do not know its name, but I know it when I see it, and it is as pervasive as the air we breathe and continue to disrespect.

Sure, Donald Jeffrey Epstein Trump just stole nearly two million dollars of our money to pay off his malignant militia of traitorous criminals, while he continues his literal destruction of the Remains of The White House and our economy, and continues to worsen his defeat in his illegal, disastrous war in Iran, and continues his perpetual crime spree. Sure Trump is attempting to make it illegal for the IRS to ever investigate or hold him or his criminal spawn responsible for tax crimes (like the ones he was already convicted of in New York) that they are absolutely committing and have been for decades, and will continue to do. And yes, everyone knows that he and his black-robed hench-mutants are hard at work destroying free and fair elections in America. 

None of this holds a candle in the long run to the wanton destruction of the environment that even MAGA morons depend on to continue wasting oxygen better spent on sentient beings.

Hemp is likely the most versatile, eco-friendly, important plant on the planet…especially for humans. Forget the fact that its twin cannabis provides countless people all across the planet many happy times…I already have. The applications of the non-psychoactive hemp plant are almost mind-bogglingly many. It makes the best paper and cloth and its medicinal uses are just now being identified. But wait, there's more.

Hemp, as it happens, grows like a weed, requires no toxic fertilizers or pesticides, and does not deplete the soil in which it grows. A very woke plant. And somehow, even the likes of Donald Fucking Trump signed a law that made growing industrial hemp legal for the first time in nearly a century.

We recently came across this video on Hempcrete – a hemp-based building material with almost unbelievable properties: fire-proof, mold-resistant, insect-resistant and its life-cycle has positive impacts on the environment.

The things hemp can replace – paper, cloth and building materials are all manufactured using massive amount of toxic substances that hurt all of us and our environment every day.

The ubiquitous use of hemp was murdered in its sleep by greedy corporate scum like William Randolph Hearst, the Dupont family and Andrew Mellon – the wealthiest man in America and the secretary of the Treasury, and by coincidence the chief banker for the Dupont empire.

The video is much less surprising than it is saddening.

Fireproof, Mold-Proof, Pest-Proof. Why America Made This Building Material Illegal?

Pic Of The Day – Trump Warmed Over

Nothing Lasts Forever…Right?   

May 15, 2026

The president of the United States, besides presiding over the rapid economic and social decline of the most powerful economic and political super-power of the last century, is himself in rapid and rapidly accelerating mental and physical decline. 

You can start your daily affirmations now, because we know what Trump will look like in his casket. He seems to be deteriorating even faster than our democracy.

   
Just lie back and enjoy the ride
You know how to lie, don’t you Don? You just open your mouth and talk.

We’re soooo close.

The Wrath Of Con

The Ass Man Conneth

May 15, 2026

Donald Jeffrey Epstein Trump’s trail of cons is well known. It is in fact all he does. It is his entire raison d’etre. In the past he at least pretended to conceal most of them. Those days are over. Now it is all done right out in the open thanks the Supreme Six giving him carte blanche and the Fascist/Trump/Epstein Party keeping their lips ever close to Dear Loser’s ass.

Now, the 47^th president of the United States is suing you and me. No, we do not get to state our case in a court of what we have tended to call law. This same conman will be representing us in that court, while simultaneously suing us. For TEN BILLION DOLLARS. Of our money. The details of this incredible world-ass grift (he is suing the IRS) can be found all over the internets. They pale in comparison to the brazen audacity and absurdity of the crime itself.

“I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation. I don’t think about anybody.”
                   Donald Jeffrey Epstein Trump, April 12, 2026

The good news is, Donny Do-bad has promised to give “100% to charity”. That’s right, the same guy who, along with his criminal sons, was banned from involvement in any charity in New York State because the charity he was running at the time was a scam, the funds from which went right into the family business.

I Pity The Pool

This of course is on top of all fucked up shit he is doing like demolishing the East Wing, plastering his vile name and face all over our nation’s capital. Perhaps none of these indignities is more transparently self-dealing as the pathetically unnecessary and fugly paint job, which was originally sold as a “one-to-two million dollar” job, currently barreling in at thirteen million. Did I mention Trump handed this job, without the legally required bidding process, to someone the conman-in-chief described as his “pool guy”?

“The other thing that we're doing that's taking place right now is, the Lincoln Memorial has a beautiful reflecting pond, or lake. He called it a pool, lake and pond. Everything is different, but the word reflecting is a good term.”
                                Donald Trump, April 24, 2026

Nobody in the entire world calls the Reflecting Pool a pond or a lake. Also, no one else took a motorcade through the Reflecting Pool, damaging it in the process.

Trump’s motorcade drives through the Reflecting Pool

So far, Trump’s “pool guy” is doing what you would expect. A crappy job. The Pool is looking like the current East Wing.

Let’s guess in whose pockets most of that thirteen mil ends up. (Hint: it ain’t the pool guy’s)

UPDATE

As is so often the case, after a post is ready for publication, new related information comes to light. There’s just no way to keep up with bullshit. In this instance, it now seems that Trump is considering dropping his inane grift against the IRS. He is instead proposing to take $1.7B and dole it out to the seditious traitors he pardoned after they were found guilty – because they fucking were – of their heinous, illegal acts on January 6, 2021. Trump, who happily cut the funding for veterans health care, is handing that money over to his followers who assaulted law enforcement. Presumably, to ensure they will be ready and well-funded for Der Furor’s next attempt to derail our democracy when he insists on staying in office in contravention of the Constitution’s 22^nd Amendment, which limits presidents to two terms.

The Doctor Is In(sane)

Put Your Faith In The Hands Of The Man With The Concept Of A Plan

May 14, 2026

Looks like Dr. Jesus Trump has come full psycho...I mean circle. Just ask him and he will tell you that he knows more about practicing medicine than all the doctors put together. He calls himself “the father of fertility” and “the father of IVF”.

“I must say, I shouldn’t admit this, but the first time I really heard about the fertility was through Katie. She said, ‘Sir, we have to do something.’ And I’m a quick study, so I learned everything there is to learn in about three, four minutes. And I became the father of fertility.”
       Trump, May 11, 2026 (at an event focused on maternal healthcare)

There hasn’t been such a doctor of death since Jack Kevorkian. Trump used to cluck about doctors performing abortions on babies after they were born, then he moved onto drinking disinfectant to cure a virus. Now he's quacking about pills bringing people back from the dead.

“Without waiting many, many years, we know the drug works because we've taken people that were dead. We had a person given the last rites, gone. The kids are crying and sold them on this drug, and the person became better.”
                 Donald Jesus Trump, May 11, 2026 (quite the busy day)

All I can say is, just in case, keep those pills away from him.

Dr. Jesus will seize you now

For context, Trump continues, to this day, to brag about being the only president to take a cognitive test. He has taken at least three so far.
