Thought For The Day – Election Rejection

Elections Are For Suckers And Losers

February 6, 2026

First, a word from our sponsor…

EPSTEIN FILES^*

There are still plenty of no-doubt-juicy files out there waiting to be wrenched from the claws of Trump’s protectors. Despite the recent release of 3,000,000 more documents, we were only recently told that there were 6,000,000 stil being “processed”. They originally claimed that millions and millions did not exist, and despite Trump’s criminal criminal attorney insisting that they’ve released everything, for some reason we know there are tons more they are hiding.

These sleazebags managed to leave visible personal information about survivors of Epstein’s sex trafficking/rape enterprise, of which there is literally no way in hell Trump – and many other scumbags apparently too well-known to mention – was unaware. While purposely putting these victims in grave danger by exposing them, the Trump protectors at the Department of what was formerly known as Justice continues to hide the names and/or deeds of an unknown number of Epstein co-conspirators and customers for his trafficked children. In fact, we were told that the most graphic, horrific images were too disgusting to be released. But they apparently weren’t too graphic and horrific for them to have been done to under-age girls. By the hundreds. For years and years.

Release all the fucking files you scum sucking weasels!*

Let’s all help Rape-y Don keep his promise to release all the Epstein Pedo-files, and to obey the Epstein File Transparency Act he signed into law requiring the release of all the files.

And now, back to the non-child-sex-trafficking news…

Meanwhile, the Trump-infested (low)intelligence community along with the Department of Fatherland security are very busy pre-emptively disrupting the midterm elections which figure to put Trump in a legislative straightjacket by sweeping dozens of Fascist/Trumpers out of the House, and quite possibly grabbing a majority in the Senate. This could bring Trump's onslaught against democracy and America to a screeching halt.

This is not a legislative straightjacket,
but it will do in a pinch

Scared shitless about the coming midterms*, El Dementiadente moaned that he has accomplished so much that “when you think of it, we shouldn’t even have an election.”

That’s funny, when I think of it, you should not only be removed from office immediately and institutionalized, you should be in jail for the rest of your unnatural life.

Trump is also shitting his diaper about getting impeached when he loses the midterms. On January 6^th, the fifth anniversary of his attempt to overthrow the newly, duly elected government of the United States, because he fuckin lost the election to Joe Biden, Trump whined

“You gotta win the midterms. ‘Cause if don’t win the midterms, it’s just gonna be, I mean they’ll find a reason to impeach me. I’ll get impeached.”

Are you fucking kidding me? Find something? We are practically drowning in the impeachable offenses this rat fucker commits every fucking day. You can barely take a step without ending up with a bunch of his impeachable offenses eating away the bottoms of your shoes. You cannot take a breath without choking 10 or 20 of Trump’s impeachable offenses. He has amassed more impeachable offenses than there are guns in America.

Not to mention Trump’s frequent mention of staying in office long past his expiration date. There he goes again…

From just a few days ago

He is not fucking kidding. He has no intention of leaving without a civil war.

PLEASE DON’T LOOK AWAY

 

Demented Don Doing Disastrous Damage Daily

February 5, 2026

I’ll bet that when you drive past a traffic accident you look to see what happened, especially if you’re in the passenger seat, but probably even if you’re driving. Donald Trump has driven a semi filled with explosives (think Timothy McVeigh – the very white Oklahoma City bomber that killed 168 innocent people including women and children) straight into the heart of our democracy, not to mention our economy, social fabric and standing in the world, which are all currently in flames on the side of the road. We need to get back in the driver’s seat, but we are, right now, all in the passenger seat so

PLEASE DON’T LOOK AWAY

I know this is all incredibly painful to attend to. So much. So often. So sickening.

              PLEASE DON’T LOOK AWAY 

I know you can’t take the constant insanity, now with more executions. I know you need to think about something else. Cat videos. Kenny G. Rent-A-Coma. Hopefully you treated yourself to not seeing MELANIA last week. Fine. Take some you time for sure. Do nice things for yourself and others. Think some happy thoughts, but

                            PLEASE DON’T LOOK AWAY

You owe it to yourself, we owe it to each other to not look away. Especially not now as Trump is pulling out all the stops in order to disrupt the midterm elections, which he is scared to death of losing and if we win could very well  put a monkey wrench in the gears of destruction currently grinding our democracy to a pulp. Election Day is only nine months away. 

If you have been avoiding watching the horror, I get it. Self-preservation is important. So is mental health. Both of those things now demand our full attention, because neither of them will be sustainable or even approachable if the current regime is permitted unfettered power. Now it is time to venture back out into the darkness and help turn the lights back on. Everything is literally at stake. Our freedom, our health, the long-standing international order, our planet. It is literally now or never.

                                           PLEASE DON’T LOOK AWAY

Thousands and thousands of people in Minnesota and across the country are literally risking life and limb in dangerous, if not deadly, weather conditions to show that they are not looking away. They need us to not look away and support them any way we can.

Or else, this

We must bear witness to the unbearable. And then beat it to a pulp.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS ACCOMPLISHED

All About Sleaze

February 4, 2026

Not-so-great grandpa had his minions put together a ream of paper that allegedly (i.e., no fucking way) chronicles all of his fake accomplishments – and not just the eight or nine or twenty wars he stopped – all of the accomplishments he thinks he accomplished.

We did not trudge through the entire pile of lies, useless changes and actual hurtful deeds Don did. Here’s one example of what Der Furor considers an “accomplishment”

#243: “stripped notorious crackhead and grifter Hunter Biden of his taxpayer-funded Secret Service detail.”

Wow, how impressive. A big win for…wait, I’m sure it will come to me. Don’t know about you, but this is a real game-changer for me. And I’ll be sure to get in touch as soon as I figure out how.

Did Baby Don also include pardoning ex-Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández despite his 45-year sentence for drug trafficking 400 tons of cocaine into the U.S. to “stuff the drugs up the gringos’ noses” as an accomplishment? Or the hundred-or-so other major drug traffickers Der Furor has pardoned? I guess one man’s accomplishment is another man’s shameful fuck-up.

King Doofus just before whining about almost being maimed by the binder clip

And then he seems to show that he is just as impressed as we are with all his “accomplishments”…

STUPID FUCKING UPDATE

Yippee! A new accomplishment. The Trump administration has secretly overhauled nuclear safety directives to fast-track the construction of a new generation of reactors. And guess what, this overhaul did not increase safety measures. This is especially important since 1) there are at least three experimental commercial reactors at play, and 2) the risk of nuclear disasters is only increasing because of all the fucking fracking going on, which has been causing hundreds of earthquakes every year in places that never had them before.

So, smoke ‘em if you’ve got ‘em. Get your affairs in order. And live every day as if it could be your last.

Burning Bridges That Don’t Exist

February 2, 2026

To begin, I would like to apologize for what follows. I am not happy to feel the need to say this, but we’re in a tight spot, and things are likely to get darker before we are ever to glimpse the light again. Desperate times like this call for, among other things, freaking the fuck out.

Despite my at times prickly exterior, I am by nature one who prefers to build bridges. There is much talk these days about reaching across the aisle/chasm between the Democratic Party and the Fascist/Trump Party. And much pleading about building a bridge across the toxic divide between the two Americas Barack Obama tried to convince us did not exist. Nice try, dude. The sentiment is understandable…during normal times. These times could not be any farther from normal. So, fuck that shit.

Clearly Trumpers will not go away, just as many among us are still fighting the Civil War. These combatants are like the Japanese holdouts who either doubted that Japan had surrendered or weren’t aware that the war had ended because communications had been cut off by the Allies. Some feared execution if they surrendered, or felt bound by honor and loyalty to never surrender. Trumpers are rabidly loyal and have cut themselves off from communication with the real world. Their Uncivil War will never end for them.

Unfortunately, one side of the divide can only be described, if we’re being honest, as pro-fascist. This is not only evidenced by their fear and loathing of anti-fascists, but more importantly by their undying, unapologetic, unthinking support of the most authoritarian hairless** ape ever to reside in, throw ketchup in and partially demolish what can now only be called the Remains of the White House.

Is this your fucking guy?***

There is simply no bridge that can be built when one side of the chasm is not just ablaze and booby-trapped, but is populated by dimwits who are drinking heavily, armed, and blindly firing at will non-stop.

I cannot and will not abide those who support this fascist regime or this dictatorial douchebag. For all its many, and well documented flaws, I still appreciate the American democracy we have had for nearly 249 years up until Trump began shitting all over it, and I still have hopes for a more perfect union. And that union does not include meddling with our own elections, reigniting our imperialist meddling in other countries, or anyone in our government, let alone the goddam president literally and figuratively dry-humping our flag and tearing at the fabric of our Constitution by among other things sending the military into our cities to combat non-existent threats, and execute peaceful protesting citizens. Fuck that shit.

This is your fucking guy?***

I cannot make peace with those who applaud a demented autocrat who keeps bragging about passing repeated cognitive tests as though that meant he was now a member of MENSA, or those who would support said autocrat who invaded another country and kidnapped their leader, the last straw being because their (autocratic, asshole) leader mocked his pathetic excuse for dancing.

I cannot tolerate those who ignorantly worship a man who allows (demands?) his Department of Whores War Defense to punish a decorated veteran, now Senator – whose politician wife was shot in the head while engaging with constituents – for reminding active-duty military of their oath, which includes the requirement to not follow illegal orders. Guilty conscience much?

THIS IS YOUR FUCKING GUY!***

I will not attempt to engage or reason with these people. They are, to coin a phrase, deplorable. They are irredeemable, unless they themselves one day look in the mirror and say “What the fuck was I thinking? This guy I’ve been literally worshiping is a disgrace to humanity. He is ruining this country; he will be responsible for countless deaths right here in America (on top of the hundreds of thousands he killed with his mishandling of the COVID pandemic) and he’s threatening the world order.” Then we can talk.

Nope. I do not like this Orange Scam. I hate these assholes Sam I Am.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
