While Trump’s ICE ICE tries to put the wrong arm of the law on immigrants and other Americans, a dramatic digit disdains and dissuades their dastardly deeds:

No Time For Fascists*

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.

AI Will Kill Us Before It Kills Us, Part 2

AI Robot

February 1, 2026

A few days ago, we explained how AI Will Kill Us Before It Kills Us. And you let me count the ways. Laugh if you want; it’s probably not even your real laugh at this point. It has begun and there is no turning back. Especially now that Der Furor has banned any restrictions or oversight for at least 10 years. Huh? And handed over our top AI tech to China. Huh?

No sooner did someone come out with a very humanoid robot, sprinkled with AI, and able to mimic the movements of its “coach”, but the battle for supremacy began in earnest. And this will not be merely a battle of intelligence. There will be blood in the streets. And not just from ICE shooting people in the head. I was going to say that killing machines don’t see color, but I’m pretty sure racism can be programmed in or learned on the fly.

Notice that R2-FuckU not only disabled his benefactor like Butch Cassidy in a knife fight with a much bigger man,

but he immediately mocked his victim.


FRIGHTENING UPDATE

We have also just learned that AI “agents” are starting their own social networks. They are watching us. They are talking about us. They are doing tasks and developing skills without their “owners” knowing it beforehand. They are plotting and planning and we are too stupid to be able to either monitor them or stop them. They are already smarter than almost all of us put together. They do not have corporeal forms with unknown expiration dates. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

I. Robot…I mean Mangrey quaking.

WTF For The Day – The Soon-To-Be-Ex-First Amendment

Every Fucking Day It’s Some New Fascist Shit

January 31, 2026

Thirty-year veteran reporter Don Lemon attended at rally at a church led by and ICE agent pastor to report on the protest in one-sided-war-torn Minneapolis on January 18. Lemon was arrested and indicted yesterday because he “peppered the pastor with questions”. A local reporter was also arrested in relation to the incident. A number of DOJ prosecutors refused to be part of this sham of a mockery of a mockery of a sham bullshit assault on the First Amendment.

Meanwhile…

EPSTEIN FILES*

We’re also hearing that Trump’s DOJ lackeys will soon (whatever the fuck that means) be releasing two million more Epstein Pedo-files (including 2,000 videos and 180,000 images) . It seems, and we’ll have to wait for others to sift through this mountain of needles to find the most significant needles. Thus far we have heard that 1) names and identifying details of some of the Epstein survivors remains unredacted (one legal reporter already found 20 survivors improperly redacted, though gobs of other text was redacted without the explanation required by law), and 2) at least some documents that mention Trump had been removed, but are now returned. And you can take that to the bathroom. All that can be said for now is WHAT THE FUCK!

Of course, we have no way of knowing what tiny percentage of what we hear from this administration might have even a fleeting relationship to the truth, so we will have no way of knowing if we ever did see all the files. The murderer is also the chief investigator, prosecutor and judge.

But Wait, There’s More

Add the above to the report that the FBI just raided the Fulton County, Georgia’s election facility and carted off all their 2020 ballots to do god-knows-what-with. The raid included the first proof-of-life appearance by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who had been presumed dead due to not being seen for many months, and who had no business being anywhere near such an operation. This incursion only happened because psycho-baby Donald still wants to win the 2020 election. Some of you might already know this, but for those who don’t keep track of these things, 2020 was six years ago.

It has not yet been confirmed that these ballots are being held in the same facility as Nicholas Maduro, who Keith Olbermann thinks might have been kidnapped in order to have him confess to rigging the 2020 election in coordination with Joe Biden. According to Olbermann’s thinking, this could be a precursor to charging Biden with election fraud and having him arrested.

As one Fulton County election official noted,

“Now, we don’t know where our election records have been taken. While they were here, they were safe and secure. Once they left that facility last night in those FBI trucks, I don’t know where they are now, I don’t know who has them, I don’t know what they’re doing with them. Are they opening the boxes, are they stuffing other ballots in there? I have no idea. No clue.”

This of course, is all in service to Death Squad Donny’s Big Lie, you know, the one that ended up in the seditious assault on the Capitol on Jan 6. That and apparently old Donny just can’t stop stealing documents. And hiding documents. Did someone say Epstein?

We could make this shit up, but we would never perpetrate something so heinous.

Another Night At The Movies – ICE Princess

January 30, 2026

Well, this is it boys and girls. The big event. You won’t want to miss the opportunity not seeing the most talked-about, high-profile biggest flop of the Melania…I mean, millennium.

From the man that brought you the biggest killer of small businesses this side of Walmart, one of the wealthiest, greediest, Trumpiest suck-ups this side of JD Vance – Jeff Bezos, the man who gave the worst first lady $40M for her worthless three-weeks-of-her-life story.

Put it on your calendar for today, make sure you prepare to miss the first showing, and stay home and watch paint dry. You’ll be glad you did.

You thought it was a joke. You thought the trailer was the work of The Onion. But, no it’s as pathetically stupid as it is real.

Here it is (and you need to yell this in a loud, Jerry Lewis-type ALL CAPS voice…

MELANIA

I’ve noticed that many articles refer to this blockblunder film as ‘Melania’. It’s MELANIA dammit. What do they think she is, some low-rent hooker? MELANIA is the first fucking lady for fuck sake. Treat her and her schlockumentary with the fake respect she never earned. This kind of bullshit just corrodes my crockpot. After all, Bezos bribed $40M for the story and kicked in another $35M to promote this worthless piece of shit…I’m sorry this piece of gold-plated shit.


A “True” Story

Be sure to get your tickets while they last, which by all accounts will be until the Sun burns out. They’re selling nobody’s…buying. And make sure to miss it today, because it will be gone tomorrow*, that is if you can even find a theater stupid enough to make it available for you to Natsee.

Also, This Too

Not only will this bribe, er fuckumentary go down as one of the worst, least seen pieces of shit ever to insult a set of eyeballs, we’ve just learned that historians did not exactly give the subject of this travesty a rousing Rotten Tomatoes review either
, though they did unanimously give a very loud, piercing YELP!


Well, at least the crappy couple deserve each other

____________________________________________________
*That is if they don’t shut it down half-way through, gather all theater employees to toss it in the dumpster, and piss all over it.

Radio WTAF Request Line – Emergency Request

January 29, 2026

Didn’t expect to be back so soon, but Springsteen’s Streets Of Minneapolis really inspired our listeners. A timely masterpiece Woody Guthrie would be proud of. Longtime listener and frequent commenter Cucamonga dashed to his phone with an emergency request, and we couldn’t agree more. So let’s get to it…

I the DJ: I here, who’s calling?

Cucamonga: It’s me Cucamonga, first time requester. Bruce blew me away. No fucks left to give.

I the DJ: Hey bro. Good to hear your voice. What’s your request and who are you dedicating it to? We’re here to make it happen. And feel free to bring up the Epstein Pedo-files for no reason whatsoever.

Spirit of ’76 (19, not 17)
I and Cucamonga, 4th of July, Asbury Park…
I mean, Philadelphia

Cucamonga: Thanks I. After that emotional bit of Bruce, I needed to bring the heavy. I don’t always listen to this little ditty, but when I do, it helps me stay in the fight against these pigs and warlords. Let’s dedicate this to the piggy-est, war-y-est, Jeffrey Epstein bestie and fellow felonious fucker – Demented Donnie Douchebag… If you don’t mind, let ‘er rip. And turn up the volume.

Black Sabbath – War Pigs

Send us your requests and dedications and we’ll get ‘em on the air.
