Ariel Baddass on the air and taking your requests

October 27, 2026

Hey gang, it’s been a while. This is Ariel B, back in my favorite chair, ready to spin some platters of various sizes, though we always defer to vinyl whenever possible. Thanks to I. Mangrey for keeping my seat warm while I was curled up in a fetal position, enjoying my RENT-A-COMA™ for the past few months. I highly recommend it, but not right now…unless you’ve already voted and can’t handle the stress of waiting.

I. Mangrey perusing the playlist

Ariel: Let’s hit the ground spinning and take our first call. And who do we have on the line?

Caller: My name is Raymond J. Johnson Jr. Now you can call me Ray, or you can call me J, or you can call me Johnny, or you can call me Sonny, or you can call me Junie, or you can call me Ray J, or you can call me RJ, or you can call me RJJ, or you can call me RJJ Jr...but you doesn't hasta call me Johnson!

Ariel: Okay, I’m going with RJ, what can I play for you RJ?

Caller: Thanks Ariel. I could really use a shot of Steppenwolf. I know it’s a long one, but how about bringing out the Monster. Please send this out to a special someone – Now you can call him Donny, or you can call him Dummy, or you can call him Bigly, or you can call him Covfefe, or you can call him Rapey Don, or you can call him Moby Don, but you doesn’t hasta call him “Sir”. May he get his big, dumb ass handed to him next week. To paraphrase the song, “Now he’s a monster and will not obey.”

Quote Of The Day – Squalid Gold

Donald Trump: The Quicksand President

October 26, 2026

“I mean, what’s with all the gold? He’s got the White House
lookin’ like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory.”
Barack Obama, October 24, 2026

Broken News – Steal Mill

Fascist Is As Fascist Does

October 26, 2026

Eight days until Election Day and this is what is going on in our name.

Reporter: “Is there any scenario in which the Department of Justice would try to block states from certifying the election?”

Attorney General Todd Blanche: “Yes, of course. It is not DOJ’s intention to improperly interfere with elections or the state certification process, but ...”

Not only will Alternative Attorney General Toad Blanche not rule out interfering with the coming midterm elections, he and his Department of Just Trump are preemptively threatening to interfere with the election for senator in Alaska if the Democrat Mary Peltola emerges victorious. There is a third candidate in the race who just happens to have the same first and last name as the incumbent Fascist/Trump/Epstein/Sedition Party candidate Dan Sullivan. Desperate Donald said, whining like a baby, tears in his eyes, it was his idea to decertify the election if Peltola wins. How’s that for democracy.

Blanche claimed that the second Dan Sullivan was backed by Democrats in order to siphon votes away from the incumbent Sullivan. Funny thing, the non-incumbent entered the race specifically because he thinks Trump has infected the party he belongs to. He is not a Democrat or a Democrat plant – that’s the kind of thing Trump’s party has done repeatedly.

Not to mention that the Alaska Supreme Court has already ruled in favor of Blanche butting the fuck out of Alaska’s business. Plus, that Constitution thingy says the federal government has no authority over state elections.

We are dealing with a bunch of lizard-brained, cornered, rabid creatures who will stop at nothing to hold on to power. We live in disgraceful times.

Blanche made it clear that he is under the complete bullshit impression – it is not a delusion since he knows this is pure unadulterated, USDA-approved-if-they-did-that- anymore, Wagyu feces – that he is not the People’s lawyer, but works for Donald “Death-To-America” Trump. He said as much during a recent interview.

Blanche: There was this misperception that there’s this separation between the Department of Justice (now the Department of Just Trump) and the White House (now the Remains of the White House), and everyone likes to champion that. And they accuse me of, of, of not suffering from independence. I don’t. I work for president Trump.”

Barack Obama (to all U.S. attorneys HE nominated): “You do not work for me. You work for the public. You take an oath of office to the Constitution of the United States.”

To quote John Kay of Steppenwolf, “America, where are you now? Don’t you care about your sons and daughters [etc]?”

This has been a Paying Attention™ Special Broken News report.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled early voting.

Don Trump Actually Fucking Said This™*

 

Out Of The Mouths Of Boobs

Here’s a blast from the past, one of his more cogent remarks before Donnie Dementia completely lost it

Short and WTF

This has been another painful edition of Don Trump Actually Fucking Said This™*

The Butt Stops Here

Ass Not What Your Country Can Do For You

October 23, 2026

An increasingly desperate and rapidly declining Donald Trump is relegated to campaigning in red states as he attempts to mitigate what looks to be a very painful referendum on his historically failed presidency– his midterm approval is the lowest of any president ever (and still falling) – in the imminent midterms. He took a break from destroying Washington, DC and golfing, and dragged his sorry ass to Ohio to rescue trailing incumbent John Husted…

“I don’t do this with men very often. I started examining his body. I looked, I watched up and down, I looked at his ass, I looked at the whole thing. And then I looked at his hands. He’s got these like claws.”
Donald Jezebel Trump, October 12, 2026
describing Senate incumbent from Ohio, John Husted

It's fun to "stay" at the YMCA

Later that week the president with the most fake hair and makeup in American history sloshed to Kentucky, home of the 90% deceased Mitch McConnell, to campaign for his hand-picked candidate for the House...

“I needed somebody good, and this guy walks through the door.
I said, ‘Look at this beautiful guy.’”
        Donald Jezebel Trump, October 17, 2026
describing House nominee from Kentucky, Ed Gallrein

What An Ass

At this same event, Dainty Don decided to again regale the crowd with his thoughts on his preferred Senate candidate from Ohio…

“I never did that with a man before. I examined his ass, and then I looked at his shoulders. I looked at his feet. I looked at his hand. I looked at his jawline. Studied him. He’s got a jawline.”
Donald Jezebel Trump, October 17, 2026
describing Senate incumbent from Ohio, John Husted

Examined his ass?

He’s Hot For Creature

“I’m studying his body. I’ve never studied the body of a man before. Bit I looked at his ass. (long pause) And then I looked at his legs and I said his ass his ass is like, it’s like a pile of muscle.”
Donald Jezebel Trump, October 20, 2026
describing Senate incumbent from Ohio, John Husted…again

Okay, what the fuck is a pile of muscle?

Clearly Donald misses his old playmate Lindsey Graham and is making his way out of the closet.* Not that there’s anything wrong with that…there’s just something wrong with every other fucking thing about him. Very wrong.

Musical Interlude – Radio WTAF

October 22, 2026

Hey boys and girls, cats and kitties, all the ships and clippers at sea. This I. Mangrey sitting in for Ariel Baddass again, spinning platters of various sizes, though we always defer to vinyl whenever possible.

I. Mangrey perusing the playlist

We’ve been focused on playing your requests, but sometimes your faithful DJ just has to take the old tonearm into her own hands and lay something on you that you might not know but are sure to request regularly once it gets into your system.

With such a vast quantity of shit hitting so many fans, the Paying Attention™ news, entertainment and dire warning crew is doing everything they can to stay on top of the mountain of hourly disasters and daily depredations and acts of treason and fascism that bombard our inner airwaves (what the kids today call bandwidth). It’s clear we all need a little cheering up, a musical interlude if you will. Even a song with a message takes the edge off, if only briefly.

Here’s a catchy ditty, a little-known classic we know you’re gonna love. This one’s for me and the gang at Paying Attention™. And for you, the discerning public, yearning to breathe free. It’s one of our favorites, a timeless classic that still rings true 55 years after its birth.

Enjoy.

Musk/Rat

October 21, 2026

Hot on the heels of yesterday’s American Goebbels Pic Of The Day, we bring you another neo-Nazi numbskull, fascist fuckwit and authoritarian asshole, who is the subject of a new documentary. 

Oscar-winning documentarian Alex Gibney has turned his focus on DOGE dickhead Elon Musk.

“An enrapturing evisceration.”
The Playlist
“A lacerating portrait of power lust and delusion.”
Variety
“The definitive examination of the world’s richest megalomaniac.”
IndieWire

Word on the street is Musk is donating more to Fascist/Trump/Epstein/Sedition Party candidates than all donors to Democratic Party candidates. Musk is, after all, the richest shithead on the planet. He is also helping to prop up fascists the world over. Musk is also fucking around with the defensive capabilities of Ukraine.

Just days ago, right after Trump’s fake “energy ceasefire” between Ukraine and no one else, Musk suddenly cut off Ukraine’s military from access to Starlink’s Star Shield satellite internet service in the middle of battles.* At the same time, Musk’s best friend useful idiot Donald Trump withheld warning of Russian missile attacks on Ukraine, leading to more dead Ukrainian citizens. The U.S. has historically shared intelligence with Ukraine before attacks. That is, until Putin’s wingman took the White House.

During a recent interview with MS NOW’s Chris Hayes, the following exchange took place between Hayes and Gibney…

Hayes: [Musk] comes off as an unloved, unlovable, pathetic, cringey, racist idiot.

Gibney: Yeah.

Hayes: That’s how he comes off.

Gibney: I think that’s fair.

The film is just minutes shy of four hours.

____________________________________
*Musk insists it was Trump’s decision to cut Ukraine off. Neither one of these idiotic, power-hungry, fascist liars can be believed. UPDATE: The global consensus seems to be that Trump made the decision. Whatever, dude. DOUBLE UPDATE: Oops. Rupert Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal reports that it was Musk who ordered the shutdown of Starlink that allowed Trump’s boss Putin to bomb a defenseless Ukraine.

I. Mangrey reporting. Bums away.

Pic Of The Day – American Goebbels

Pay More Attention To The Man Behind The Hurtin’  

October 20, 2026

If it looks like a classic Nazi and it talks like a classic Nazi, what the fuck do you think it is? Trump’s prince of propaganda and ambassador of authoritarianism. Trump’s Ignatz of immigration. His harbinger of hatred and sensei of senseless, America’s very own maharishi of mayhem, messiah of malevolence and facilitator of fascism – Stephen Miller.

American goebbels

A vote for Trump is a vote for Miller.  And Vance.  And Hegseth.  A vote for Trump is a vote for RFingK, Jr. and a vote for Elon Musk, Mark Fuckerberg and the rest of the Nerd Reich and their disastrous data centers and unfettered AI. And for Kash Patel and the rest of Der Furor’s filthy-rich, sociopathic scabinet. It’s a vote for Todd Blanche, Samuel Alito, “Uncle” Thomas, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, Coney Barrett and John Roberts. And whichever other fucking fuckwits are not stapled to the top of my head.

It’s time to send all these fucking clowns home for the holidays and perpetuity.

This has been your Paying Attention™ Pic Of The Day.

Fascinating

I Believe The Expression Is WTF*

October 18, 2026

It is perplexing that the party of fascists, adjudicated rapists, real live pedophiles (not the Qanon-imagined ones), friends of Jeffrey Epstein and protectors of the

Donald Trump Memorial Epstein Files

and all those (like Donald Trump) who are mentioned over and over and over in the

Donald Trump Memorial Epstein Files

as well as wife beaters, wife cheaters, grifters, seditionists and other assorted scumbags still manage to garner so much support all across this – I want to say great, but at this time, in good conscience cannot – diseased, dystopian land of ours.

VOTE THEM OUT!
