Broken News – Transparency In Government

From The Department Of Redundancy Department Circular File

June 29, 2026

Our intrepid, unpaid gaggle of interns discovered the existence of a cabinet position that has been kept secret. However, once you learn of this new department, so much of what we have been seeing for the past eighteen months will make much more – for lack of a better word – sense.

A Dummy Without A Ventriloquist

A New Definition Of Insanity: Donald Trump

On the Re-fucked-up Pool:

“And then the fake news says, “Oh, well, it didn’t work. Of course it worked. Everything I does works. What I do works. In fact I looked at it just a little while ago, it looks perfect already but we’re fixing it.”
   Donald “Lying-Stupid-And-Wrong-As-Usual” Trump, June 24, 2026

On Dems winning the midterms:

“You’ll live in squalor. There’ll be no food. There’ll be no housing. There’ll be no military, no law and order. There’ll be no nothing. There’ll be no nothing. You’ll be a third world inhabitant in every way and everyone will suffer or die.”
    Donald “Talking-About-Himself-As-Usual” Trump, June 26, 2026

Says the guy doesn’t care that he caused food prices to go through the roof, refused to sign a housing bill just days earlier because he was having a tantrum, has depleted our military capabilities for a war of choice that he lost bigly, is running a massive criminal enterprise out of the Remains-of-the-White House, and killed more Americans than any other president.


It looks perfect already but we’re fixing it.

Dear Don:

Sir, it is difficult to type with all the tears in my eyes. I am admittedly not a big, strong guy who never cried before. But now, as I think about you, the tears are streaming from my eyes. These invisible vandals who took a box cutter or knife of some kind, as you so strongly keep saying, and sliced up the big, blue, beautiful indestructible pool, or pond, or lake covering, must pay for their non-existent crime of the century. Plus, it looks perfect already but we’re fixing it? Can you hear yourself taking, sir?

Also, having no nothing is a good thing. You must be a stupid person. And seriously, learn the fucking language, King Minus.

And please, and I mean this sincerely, with all due respect – please, go fuck yourself, or get some big, strong man with tears in his eyes to do it for you. A grateful nation will thank you.

Yours Bigly,
I. Mangrey

Vance Actually Fucking Said This™*

  

Loser From Another Planet

June 27, 2026

“If Watergate happened tomorrow it would be like a twelve-hour news story. The idea that it would have taken down a presidency is crazy.”
                 JD Vance, June 26, 2026 (and looking quite orangey)

Is it my imagination, or is JD looking more orangier than ever?

Once again, we call on our guru of grammar, the sensei of sentences, the duke of definitions, the prince of phrases, the one, the only, Inigo Montoya. This time paraphrasing…

You made this comment. I do not think it means what you think it means.

It is a stupid comment. And you are an idiot. And a fascist. And Trump’s bitch. You’re killing my country. Prepare to die.

Inigo Montoya

Vance is, among other things, and this might be his best feature, a fucking asshole. After the above quote, he cackled on about Nixon being forced out by the “deep state”. Hey JD, it’s called the Congress of the United States. It was Nixon’s own party who told him to get out of town before they impeached him. It was none other than ultra-conservative senator Barry Goldwater (R-AZ) who told Sicky Dick to his lying, paranoid, treasonous face that Nixon’s time was up. So fuck off as far as the eye can see JD.

And Vance is the one without dementia. Did he get syphilis from fucking that couch?

Regarding Barack Obama

Game On

June 26, 2026

We recently vented a bit of frustration at Barack Obama – I know because I was there, in the room where it happened. Since that time, we witnessed the opening of the Obama Presidential Center. When you think back to the Obama presidency, when you watch Obama speak – then or now – and then your mind wanders back to his most recent successor, it makes you want to vomit and cry.

Obama’s immediate predecessor George WTF Bush was such a colossal fuck-up that America managed to elect its first Black president in a desperate attempt to recover. But not to worry, this completely out-of-character act was immediately rectified, and the engine of democracy, diversity, equity and inclusion was thrown into reverse at the speed of white. Hatred, stupidity and criminality became the order of the day and Donald Jeffrey Epstein Trump took the reins of power, snatched up the Constitution, lit it on fire and then took off his diaper and pissed on the ashes.

Displaying his usual class and dignity, the Grim Sleeper, current occupant of the Remains-of-the-White-House, offered up his two now-discontinued cents:

Total loser and worst president ever, next to Sleepy Joe Biden, but maybe worse, who knows, Barack Hussein Obama, left Washington, DC in total disgrace – not one major scandal, zero cognitive tests, ended up taking home no classified documents, and made no money on the deal. Pathetic. Somehow he got away with building his presidential library, which will soon be renamed the Donald J. Trump Memorial Barack Hussein Obama Library, in the great city of Chicago – they love Trump in Chicago. He should have been forced to build his trashy building in Kenya, where he was born – and by the way, I have people working very strongly on getting Obama’s birth certificate. We should have something very interesting to show you in about two weeks, or a month or four days, or many later. These are the same best people who recently turned the failing Reflecting lake, or pond or water hazard, as many people are calling it, into the most beautiful blue or possibly green swimming pool anyone has ever seen. And remember, no matter how horrible, how stupid, how crooked, how deadly, reckless and pathetic you think I am, Barack Hussein Obama once wore a tan suit. That’s right, I said it. That tan suit was the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to this great nation, and the main reason Donald Trump was chosen by God to make American great again. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Now, watch this drive.

Given the incessant wheedling lies that Trump is built like and is as fit as a twenty-something middle linebacker, and given the fact that the Obama Presidential Center has a full-size basketball court, there should be a pay-per-view one-on-one game between the scrawny Barack Obama and the totally buff beefcake Donald Jeffrey Epstein Trump.

Lastly, a snippet of Obama’s speech at the opening of his presidential center:

“…that the very idea of working on behalf of the common good is a sucker’s bet. And that in order for us to win, somebody else has got to lose. I get it. I am not immune to anger or doubt. But I do know this, when we lose faith in each other, when we stop believing that voting matters, that citizenship matters, that our collective voices matter, that how we treat each other no longer matters, then we give away our power to decide our own future. We open the door to the most ruthless, or the most careless, or the most fearful among us, who see some groups and some people as more equal than others, and see government as nothing more than a way to divvy up the spoils, and punish enemies, and keep those who are different in their place. I do not believe that is the story of America that prevails in the end.”

Broken News – Don Is The New Adolf

Name Game

June 25, 2026

It’s official folks. Two months ago Paying Attention™ predicted that the name “Donald” would become as popular as the name “Adolf”. How many of you know someone named Adolf? Donald used to be a very popular boy’s name. It is already fading from view.

It’s official now. Baby’s named Donald is at an all-time low.

Let the eternal shunning begin.

Thought For The Day – To Recap…

Celebrating Free Dumb

June 24, 2026

Today’s thought is brought to you by the good folks at the

Donald trump memorial EPSTEIN FILES


I’m the only president ever to take a cognitive test. I can spell my name.

Donny Downer threw up a classless pay-per-screw birthday party for himself posing as a celebration of America’s 250th birthday. He tore apart the South Lawn, erected a massive advertising edifice with a cage in which they had a bunch of muscle-headed nutjobs beating the living shit out of each other on the Remains-of-the-White-House lawn – the champion of the event was, like the host, a dimwitted, racist slob, who closed the evening with these immortal immoral words: “Mochelle Obama is a man.” The whole ignominious incident wasn’t disgusting and grifty enough, so he made everyone pay to watch his blood-letting birthday (his, not ours) spectacle.

And then he fell asleep during the event.

This is like inviting friends to your house to celebrate your birthday and charging admission, adding, “Oh, did I mention it’s a cash bar? Oops. Have a good time, I’m going to have a nap.”

Trump Actually Drains A Swamp

Don't Stink The Water

June 23, 2026

Apparently, killing tens (or was it hundreds?) of thousands of Americans with his mishandling of COVID (and Bob Woodward sitting on knowledge that could have averted many of these deaths until his for-profit book was finished – as were all those previously alive people) was not good enough for good old Donald “Death-To-America” Trump. He is now murdering baby ducks. The combination of Don’s choice of very dark paint – an algae accelerant – and his idiot pool guy from Palm Beach


Yeah, this cartoon-come-to-life pool guy

helped create an algae bloom like no one has ever seen – the biggest, most beautiful algae bloom of all time. Not only that but, as predicted and warned before the fact, the coating barely lasted a week before it started disengaging from the surface.

Naturally, Trump blamed everyone but those who were actually to blame. That would be Trump himself and his idiot, sleazy pool guy. But mostly Donald. The fuck-up stops there.

Just for the record, the pool guy is Trump donor and Mar-a-Lago neighbor John Cafaro. Trump illegally gave him a no-bid contract to paint the reflecting pool. Cafaro has two prior convictions, one for bribing a member of Congress and another for an illegal loan that violated campaign finance laws. In other words, a perfect fit for a 34-time-convicted-felon-president who likely split the insanely over-priced payday (some $15 million) right down the middle with his fellow felon.

“This [pool coating] will last for at least fifty years and you’ll never have a leak, it’s very strong. You couldn’t, if you had a knife – I don’t want to give anybody ideas – if you had a knife, you can’t even cut it, so strong, so powerful, it’s powerful rubber.”
                      
Donald Jeffrey Epstein Trump, May 5, 2026

“We have vandalism… You know, we have a hundred, we have I think a 290, 300-foot slit right through it. Probably a box cutter or a knife of some kind… Who would think that somebody would go into a pool and take a knife and start cutting it?”
                      
Donald Jeffrey Epstein Trump, June 22, 2026

After the latter quote Trump was then asked if he had proof, “Let’s put it this way, when you have a 350-foot slit* from one end to the other, do you think that’s proof?” Well, no actually, that’s not proof, and that’s all the proof Donny Dickweed needs.

Also just for the record, what Trump wanted done to the Reflecting Pool was not a repair. Just like his daily façade charade make-over with his comb-around-and-around-and-around, and his pancake fakeup, his approach to the Pool was nothing more than that.

But I digress…

Before blaming his latest massive fuck-up on Joe Biden, antifa and unknown “vandals” Boss Tweet had his lying monkeys dose the pool, or pond or lake with hydrogen peroxide, which momentarily killed off the algae while simultaneously separating the paint job from the pool or pond or lake. So yes, vandals were responsible for the utter, and extremely predictable demise of the “American Flag Blue” assault on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, which is neither pond nor lake. Again, for those keeping score, those vandals were Donald Jeffrey Epstein Trump and John Cafano.

And now there is, for no good reason**, an enhanced National Guard presence at the Pool. This is presumably a prelude to deporting the algae and the dead duck.

Dead Duck: A Metaphor For Trump’s America

Add to this quintessentially on-brand Trump debacle the unfortunate collateral damage – an unavoidable and consistent feature of every Trump venture – of the baby ducks found dead in the Pool.

Now Trump has to drain the Pool again. He is draining us every single fucking day.

Trump’s sewage formation plant, formerly known as the Reflecting Pool, is now beginning to stink literally rather than just figuratively. 

The primary perpetrator of the destruction/”repair”/re-destruction of the iconic landmark (the same guy who did pretty much the same thing with Iran) – Donald Jeffrey Epstein Trump – remains at extra-large.

To borrow from Monty Python and The Holy Grail, let’s see if Trump is a witch. 

Throw him into the pond…or lake…or fucking Reflecting Pool!

_______________________________________________
*Oh, so now it’s already up to 350-foot? Are those fucking vandals still down there holding their breath and cutting that un-cuttable very strong and powerful rubber?
**Unless they are trying to ensure the head vandal – Donald Jeffrey Epstein Trump – gets nowhere near the scene of his crime.

I. Mangrey reporting. Is it safe? 

UPDATE

Our non-existent sources are reporting that going forward, after the Reflecting Pool is re-drained and the very strong and powerful un-cuttable rubber is sewn back together, it will instead be filled with air until such time as the water can be replaced by 6.75 million gallons of clear epoxy resin meant to resemble water…sort of. Or not.

Thought For The Day – SpaceWreX

In Mu$k We Tru$t...NOT

June 22, 2026

Elon Musk’s SpaceX recently launched its public trading in the stock market.

This makes Musk the first ever trillionaire…on paper. That’s trillion, with a fuck you. And a sieg heil.

Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman insists the stock is not worth anywhere near its claimed opening market value.


Typical SpaceX launch sequence. Oopsie.

With any luck it will blow up like most of the rockets he launched. Except everyone but Musk will get hurt when SpaceX stock insinuates itself into many Americans’ 401Ks – without them even knowing it, and then tanks. When it crashes, Musk will have already made off with the cash, while all the involuntary investors will be left holding the bag.
