Looking Forward To Looking Back

He’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad King

November 9, 2026

In light of the crushing and joyous defeat of Donald Jeffrey Epstein Trump in the midterms, Paying Attention™ decided to bring on a new intern. A fresh, new face who will be our version of AI (which we have promised to never let sully these pages) she is encyclopedic, very smart and committed to progressive thought and is not afraid to make a splash. You may see her name appear from time to time, but she will mostly be working behind the scenes for peanuts…well, peanut butter, but you get the idea. Her name is Sue Naami.

If Hakim Jeffries (presumptive Speaker of the House) and Chuck Schumer (less presumptive Senate majority leader) are to be believed, and if they retain their positions within the Democratic Party, happy days are gone again. They are sounding a tone of reconciliation, of working across the aisle. There is no worse idea in American politics. Nixon, off the hook thanks to Gerald Ford sweeping Nixon’s filth under the rug. Barack Obama looked forward and let Bush, Cheney and their entire war-criminal-administration off the hook. How is that working out for We The People?

His Kampf

In case anyone was foolish enough to once again think that Trump would learn a lesson or change in any good way, they should change their name to Susan Collins and self-deport. Rather than do anything even vaguely resembling helping Americans, Der Furor has promoted fellow lizard and psycho sycophant sycophant – or as we prefer to say, psychophant – Stephen Miller from Goebbels to Göring. Deathbed Donny continues ridding himself of women who don’t remind him of Ivanka – the one that got away – his latest firing, Miller’s predecessor is Susie Wiles.

If there’s anyone currently squatting at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue more psychotic, sociopathic and downright evil than Trump it’s Stephen Miller. Since, Blob the “Builder” is much too busy with his ballroom, his arch and pleasuring Vladimir Putin, Miller will be in charge of everything else. To once again paraphrase Dumb Leader, “Nothing good can happen. Can only bad happen.” Watch out America! Der Furor is not finished making America worse again.

Reporting for duty, sir. What shall I kiss first?

Thankfully, Jeffries and Schumer are unlikely to stop the likes of Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) – incoming chairman of the House Oversight Committee – whose first words to the administration, immediately after their defenestration, were “Lawyer up.” Garcia is not alone. Many Democrats have their knives out and are more than ready to carve up these turkeys. But they will have to wait until after the holidays unless the few remaining idiots across the aisle realize it’s in their best interests to get on the right side of history.

Kick Them When They're Down...Or Else

So let’s do it. Hold these seditious, fascist, grifting slime accountable for trashing the place. Do not simply look forward – look both ways before crossing the American public. There’s an old saying everyone knows: Those who do not clean up the mess of the past before it becomes history are doomed to repeat fucking up the future…or something like that.

The Fascist/Trump/Epstein/Sedition Party is the Black Knight from Monty Python and The Holy Grail – both arms and one leg already severed and on the ground – bleeding out. What are they going to do, bite your leg off?

There is but one thing left to do – if I might mix movie metaphors – sweep the leg.

Headline Of The Day – Trump And Consequences

Make Mine A Double

November 8, 2026

It appears that voter enthusiasm trumps fElon’s half-a-billion dirty dollars pumped into Fascist/Trump/Epstein/Sedition Party candidates. The vote ended up being too big to steal, despite countless efforts to do so. The American electorate told Donald “Death-To-America” Trump and his fellow travelers – like Musk – to fuck as far off as inhumanly possible. Musk took his business out of California to avoid paying taxes and get away from Democratic government. 

Funny story, fElon moved everything to Texass, spent millions and millions to defeat Democratic candidates, and ended up with one of the bluest states in the union, with only Ted Blobfish Cruz to keep him company. Next stop Florida? Plus, his stocks are plummeting on Wall Street. America is telling the America-hating immigrant Musk to go back where he came from, or better yet, Mars.

I donated $500M to buy Congress and all I got were these lousy investigations

Fun Fact For The Day – Texass Edition

The Lone Scum State

November 7, 2026

Thanks to the massive Blutomic Bomb election that made America great again last Tuesday, there is now only one statewide elected official in the state of Texas. Probably because he was not up for reelection this year. That law-faker is none other than

Texas Senator Raphael Ted Cruz

Wait, I’m being told that is not actually Ted Cruz; it is a Blobfish. This is Cruz announcing that he is the last scum standing…

Ted Cruz wishing he was a Blobfish

Was that not in fact fun?

Late Nite With I. Mangrey

So Late, It's The Next Morning

November 6, 2026

It’s the schadenfreude stupid.

In terms of the aftermath of the 2026 Midterm Elections, to quote the late, great Donald Jeffrey Epstein Trump, “Nothing bad can happen. It can only good happen.” Please allow us this moment of unbridled joy. Obviously, this is not true. We still need to be vigilant as Donald “Death-To-America” Trump is like a wounded, rabid badger with nukes. He is not opposed to taking anyone and everyone down with him.

It was crushing defeat, a resounding rebuke of the biggest ass in American history…and I don’t mean John Husted – the ass that launched a thousand Trump speeches.

Trump’s insurrection presidency is now on life support. We haven’t seen this level of sedition since the Civil War. At least the Confederacy had a rationale for their ill-fated, racist insurrection. No matter what Texas and Florida history books may try to obscure and whitewash, that purpose was the protection of slavery. MAGA was nothing more than a cult of borderline personality.

Good night and good morning.

Thought For The Day – Victory Lap

Whew

November 6, 2026

The air is fresher. Everything just feels a little lighter. It’s like a two-ton weight has been lifted off our shoulders. Obviously, not completely, but it feels nice for the first time in too long. Donald Days are like dog years, but with more biting and bleeding.

A two-ton weight

Dear Sir…

So Much Winning

“I think the hatred for this man is unprecedented.”
Sean Hannity, November 4, 2026

“There's a perfectly good reason for that, dumbass.”
I. Mangrey, November 4, 2026

Dear Sir:

I am so sorry sir. I still have tears in my eyes after what happened on Tuesday. If I was near enough to give you a big hug sir, I would probably throw up all over your shoes. At least I would try. I know you did your best to stop yourself from completely destroying this country, and after you tried even harder to destroy this country. But, sir, many people are saying that the 2026 midterm elections are irrefutable proof that America hates your miserable, lying, self-serving, self-dealing, spiteful, criminal, traitorous, Jeffrey Epstein-coddling, worthless guts. Life can be so unfair. Sir, maybe it was something you said or did, or maybe it was everything you did and said. It’s so hard to tell, sir. We may never know for sure.

Hopefully, sir, you won’t take this historically humongous drubbing, this undeniable repudiation of everything Trump, this crystal-clear message that you are a disgraceful, despised, treacherous cretin the wrong way. As you always do. By claiming victory, digging your cankles I, and continuing to trash everything, like a giant, tiny-handed, amoeba-brained monster.

Anyway, sir, we hope you have plenty of ketchup to throw and very fine people to blame and yell at for you being a total, irredeemable dick. And I don’t mean Nixon or Cheney…because you are so fucking fucked up that you made both of those Dicks look like saints in comparison. Your days are numbered sir. One way or another. With any luck, you won’t be taking us with you. Lord knows you will try sir.

Again, so sorry. Have a nice day sir, and thank you for your attention to this matter.

Signed,
America

A Phone Call To Americans, by Albert Brooks

I Just Gotta Say

Thank You For Last Night

November 4, 2026

If we are to be honest, we owe a huge debt of gratitude to Donald Jeffrey Epstein Trump. The Blue Wave, second in size and change only to the Great Flood in the Book of Genesis. This could not have been achieved without the “help” of the single worst president in American history: his disdain for everyone but his billionaire peers, his arrogant contempt for the rule of law, for democracy and for the Constitution, his economy and worldwide security disrupting war in Iran, his incessant lies, public naptimes and rapidly increasing and constant public displays of dementia, and his all-encompassing, uncompromising, unrivaled stupidity.

Without Trump’s perfect shitstorm this massive turnaround in the makeup of the House, Senate and governorships would not have been possible without Deathbed Donald having dragged this country so close to hitting bottom that even the American electorate began to take notice.

And yes, just as Der Furor insisted, the vast majority of Americans all over this country voted like he was on the ballot. Unfortunately for him his intended audience had long ago turned off their hearing aids, probably sold them for food or gas.

So, and I will surely only say this once, tears in my eyes, and even though I am not a big strong man, thank you sir. You have done so much to and for this country you detest, sir. I hope you don’t mind if I call you what your wife, Melania calls you – “sir”.

So, once again, let me say, I’m only going to say that once. Now I would like to say, shut the fuck up, stop showing your face in public and really, just lock yourself up in a bathroom – it can even be one with all the stolen documents – until they subpoena you to testify about your crimes against America and humanity.

I. Mangrey respecting.

This is an EX-president**

Apocalypse NOT

November 4, 2026

If you don’t mind, I’d like to start today’s festivities with a song

John Lennon – Instant Karma

And yes, pretty soon he’s gonna be dead. That’s just statistics.

Donald Trump will not be going to Disney World.

Election Shock Therapy

So, in case you were asleep, Donald Jeffrey Epstein Trump got smashed, thrashed and trashed. He got a snubbing a drubbing and a clubbing. He got his clock cleaned, his ass handed to him and the stupid smile wiped off his badly-frosted face.

As he would say, if he hadn’t gotten his face sphincter figuratively sewn shut, Trump got beaten like a dog.

Trump’s other tiny little Johnson – Mike – can kiss his Keebler-elf-sized gavel good-fucking-bye. He’s lucky he still has a seat in Congress, so he can bask in the massive blue tsunami in which he will be treading water until he resigns.

Susan Collins – gone.

John Fetterman – neutered.

Oh, and Elon Mush, please feel free to go forth and fuck yourself all the way to Mars. And stay there.

Presumably, the few Democrats who lost their races are now whining, claiming voter fraud and inciting violence and insisting they actually won. What’s that you say? They all gracefully accepted defeat and moved on like adults? How interesting.

And, just a song before I go…

Leonard Cohen – Democracy

Having almost been killed by a Cheetos semi just three months ago, I had to take one more victory lap and enjoy one of my favorite Randy Rainbow offerings in light of yesterday’s marvelous first step toward excising the tumor known as Trump from the American body politic and the national psyche…

Final Election Night Update

So Far, So Much Better

November 3, 2026, 11:50pm

Democrats will have a majority in the Senate with 51 seats…for now. With one more seat, they will be able to relegate John Fetterman to the dustbin of history. Assuming the Fascist/Trump/Epstein/Sedition Party adheres to the Constitution and certifies and swears in ALL elected officials on January 3, 2027.

Dems literally beat Trump’s ass…John Husted, Demented Don's beloved buns are out of office. They’re all Donald’s now. He can examine Husted’s ass till death do they part.

Last time I stayed up this late watching election results, I ended up feeling suicidal. Not this time, but someone else might need to be kept away from sharp objects. Remember when Deathbed Don insisted everyone vote like he was on the ballot. America obliged. Bigly.

I should probably go to bed. See you in the morning
