Where Will We Have Gone From Here

Well, here it is. The final installment of what to expect in 2019.  With any luck, this will not be the last year we get to see.  There’s no way to know for sure. Chrump will keep us guessing, gnashing our teeth, fighting to keep food down, losing sleep and fighting with all we have to keep America from being Chrump again.

Executive Disorder

Der Furor, hoping to get in his last licks before being carted off to prison, cranks out a slew of maniacal and idiotic executive orders, many of which he clearly wrote all by himself* – he is such a big, smart boy after all – demonstrated his monumental ignorance of…well everything…but, in this case how laws are written and interpreted.  In what some are considering an accident Chrump inadvertently deports his latest wife, Melania. 

Chrump passes out after making his very large signature
on a bill banning all foreign-born Americans from remaining
in the United States; all his ex-cabinet members stood by like idiots

In another clumsily executed order, Chrump accidentally impeaches himself.  New, acting White House counsel Lindsey Graham (Chrump’s only remaining supporter other than Mike Pence) quickly dispatches a telegram in an attempt to explain the inexplicable.

* The “You Can’t Impeach the Greatest President of All Time”, “Re-naming the White House, Chrump Castle”, “Build Wall or Congress Goes to Jail”, “Fake News is No News, Going After Great Presidents is Illegal” Acts, to name a few.

September 24, 2019 – Happy Impeachment Day

Democrats tried very hard to avoid bringing charges of impeachment against un-prezident Donald J. Chrump.  They worked hard to finally get universal health care over the hump.  They fought tooth and nail to get funding for infrastructure and voting security.  Ultimately, the continuing crime wave coming out of the White House made it necessary for Congress to launch several hundred investigations into the Chrump Crime Family, Chrump’s extensive, hostage-like relationship with Russia, repeated episodes of obstruction of justice, endless displays of mental illness, and a variety of miscellaneous infractions and felonies.  They subsequently had no choice but to bring two dozen articles of impeachment against the most criminal person ever to hold the office of President of the United States.  Predictably, Chrump bragged.

The impeachment process is not a quick one.  Vegas odds had Chrump, as usual, caving to the pressure and leaving in the middle of the night before the process can get off the ground.  It turns out the odds-makers had it right.  Soon after the stench of impeachment became overwhelming, the Gingerhead Man disappeared.  All he left behind was the skeletal remains of the United States and another stupid tweet.

 

A passerby caught this photo with his infrared camera:

It will be interesting to see if the Secret Service protects now ex-prezident Chrump.  Ex-presidents enjoy Secret Service protection for 10 years after leaving office.  But, not necessarily if they are impeached or resign.  While Chrump was able to avoid actual impeachment by sneaking away, he will still face criminal charges for almost a dozen felonies.   

September 24, 2019

Caught In a Trap

Chrump is eventually found hiding in a specially designed sand trap at Mor-on Lago – not unlike the “spider hole” in which Saddam Hussein hid from American forces who eventually apprehended him.

“I wasn’t hiding, I was looking for crooked Hillary’s emails.”

Chrump’s few remaining loyalists were spotted not far from Chrump’s cherished Florida resort planning to get Chrump re-elected in 2020 or 2024.

Lady’s Choice

Ex-two-time-Speaker of the House, and now-President Nancy Pelosi
tries not to laugh so hard she pees herself as she assumes her new position

 

Interim President Nancy Pelosi, refuses to pardon either Donald Chrump or Mike Pence for crimes against the Constitution and the American people.  “Gerald Ford claimed he wanted to help the nation heal by pardoning Richard Nixon.  This horrible mistake did nothing of the sort.  While it is in my power, as third in line for the presidency after the removal from office of both Donald Chrump and is unrelenting, unrepentant enabler Mike Pence, and having now assumed the office of President, to pardon whomever I so choose, I will not pardon these two.  This I promise to the American people.  I have much more important and better things to do with my limited time in office, especially since I will not seek a full term of my own.  I am satisfied with seeing these two criminals safely tucked away in our nation’s history – a history they tried diligently to put to rest.  Our nation needs a fresh start, a giant enema, and a serious smack upside the head, as we attempt to recover from the disastrous Chrump years, few though they were.”

The People’s Prison

November 13, 2019

Fare(un)well

Chrump, apparently having forgotten that he is only still in the White House awaiting sentencing, sinks into a deep depression thinking he has lost re-election and refuses to leave the bathroom for several weeks.  Despite repeated attempts to draw the un-prezident out, Chrump simply screams profanities every time anyone on the outside tries to communicate with him.  Fortunately, he is unaware that his Twitter account has been suspended and he spends his time moving his bowels and rage tweeting.  Ultimately, his hunger gets the better of him and he is finally convinced that the election is not until next year.  Upon exiting his refuge, he is handcuffed and frog-marched into a padded vehicle to face a judge and the music.  His farewell address is shown in its entirety below:

“My hands are so large that I can fit my head through this opening.” 

 

November 30, 2019

Bucket Lust

Chrump, having slept through Thanksgiving, awakens from his slumber and pardons several buckets of chicken.  As soon as the cameras depart, Chrump inhales all three buckets.  “This sure beats the hell out of swallowing those live turkeys from last year.  The feathers were pretty annoying, but I definitely should have ripped their beaks off first.  That won’t happen again, this I can tell you.  I should have pardoned four buckets.  Go get me some Big Macs, I’m still hungry.  And brig me a bunch of diet Cokes; these buckets are making me thirsty.”

I hereby pardon these buckets of chicken, but not
anyone who lays a non-prezidential finger on them

Proceed at Your Own Risk

Pedestrian crossing signals throughout the country simultaneously ignored all those little old ladies (who are much more like me than I care to admit), parents with small children, and everyone else trying not to lose life and/or limb while negotiating an intersection.  The usually reliable, if not always timely walk/don’t walk signals all suddenly started flashing what can only be interpreted as a hearty salute the current White House occupant. 

Upon further investigation, even more rigorous than the entire hour they spent looking into Brent Kavanaugh, the FBI found no evidence of untoward interference of any kind, and simply chalked it up to one of the very rare signs from God that she still gives a flying fig about humankind.  The incident was officially classified as a Christmas miracle.  There is no truth to the rumor that George Hayduke was spotted near computers in the Federal Traffic Center.

______________________

You might have noticed that we did not predict Chrump on the brink of declaring war on South Korea, Canada and Mexico, threatening to kiss Putin’s ass (Chrump later claimed he obviously meant ‘kick’), the Great Depression-like crash of the Stock Market, the tanking of the economy, and Chrump’s big beautiful marshmallow border wall.  We felt it unnecessary to tackle the low-hanging fruit.  Everyone (except Chrump) knows these things are coming, since the Republicants have been doing everything they can to ensure these long-overdue events.

Well, that’s it for Paying Attention in 2018 (unless something super crazy happens in the next 24 hours), and all we know about what to expect in 2018. For now, sit back and pour yourself a beverage; a nice hot cup of tea, a martini, maybe a hemlock smoothie.  However you roll, make sure you have your Rent-a-Coma on hand. It’s flying off the shelves. And, now that you know what’s going to happen for the next 12 months, why put up with it when you can go into hibernation until the time is right?

Thought For The Day

And Now For Something Completely Different

This is an ex-prezident

He just does not realize it yet.  The only question is whether he leaves before or after his head explodes…that, and whether or not he can tell the difference when it does.

Happy Mueller’s Day

A new American holiday is on the books.  Today is the day that Robert Mueller finally gave up on digging up more dirt on the Chrump Crime Family and associates.  According to Mueller, “I know there is much more filth and slime under an as yet undetermined number of rocks, but my team and I just cannot take it anymore.  I have more than enough on the Chrumps to – how do they say it – lock them up, I believe is the phrase.  I can put these maggots away for so long, they might still be in jail when America starts dealing with global climate change and racism.  It does not matter to me that Mr. Chrump impeached himself; that just gets him out of office.  I want to make sure he is off the streets permanently.  I have never seen such blatant disregard for social norms, the law, the Constitution and basic human decency in all my life.  And I have spent several decades living and working in Washington, DC.  Hopefully, our long national nightmare is over.  I know mine is.”

While Mueller made it clear that Chrump and his family were nothing but a bunch of large-scale-petty criminals/felons who deserve jail time, they were nowhere near smart enough to scam a presidential election on their own.  It turns out there was another slime-ball involved in securing Russian and Saudi assistance.  It seems odd that this individual, who claimed it was God’s will that he become president, would feel the need to take out an insurance policy in case God changed her mind.  In a stunning turn of events, the Mueller investigation report makes it clear that the mastermind behind getting Chrump elected was none other than Mike Pence.  It turns out that Pence had compromising information on Paul Manafort, and put pressure on Chrump’s then-campaign manager to convince the small-handed, tiny-brained Republican’t nominee to choose the soon-to-be-ex-governor of Indiana as his running mate.  Ergo, both Chrump and Pence will be celebrating next Mueller’s Day in a different government housing venue.

Picture This

Weekly movie night with Sean Hannity and Vladimir Putin has become a mainstay in the West Wing over the past year.  Hannity of course, basically lives in the White House (spending most of his time up Chrumps accommodating ass), while Putin remains constrained to joining via Skype most weeks.  Though many people assume Putin’s infrequent on-site film festivities are a result of security issues, it turns out that Putin is simply repulsed by Chrump’s eating habits, his reprehensible personal hygiene, and his insistence on not only wearing his unwashed robe, but doing so with nothing underneath, and all the inconvenient, intolerable exposures that inevitably result.

Oh to be a sightless fly on the wall…

April 22, 2019

Earthless Day

Chrump blames climate change on the media and science.  The Orange Gas Cloud notably blamed the devastating wild fires in California last November on forest management practices – the lack of raking leaves, to be specific.  While there may be some blame to be assigned to management (other than Chrump’s raking bullshit), it is interesting that, while the fires were still burning and destroying homes and lives, this was not considered too soon to talk about forest management.  Yet, when the daily mass shooting occurs, the Second Amendment fetishists scream bloody murder (Ironic, no?) that it is too soon to talk about stricter gun laws. Chrump tweeted,

Momentarily bored with Twitter, Chrump attempts his first and only Instagram post:

“I am the Earth. The Earth is me.  Shut up and eat some cake.”

Glorious RBG

Ruth Bader Ginsburg breaks several ribs – some of them hers, in a brutal, long overdue thrashing of Donald Chrump after Petulant Chrump lashed out at RBG on Twitter:

You couldn’t’ take Pelosi, you think you can take me?

 

Ginsburg later apologized, “I should probably not have clobbered such a defenseless, mentally disabled individual.  I have stood up for the rights of the less fortunate my whole life.  I should have been more sensitive in realizing that Mr. Chrump is not in control of his faculties.  I don’t’ even think he has any faculties.  Perhaps I should have smashed his phone and broken a few fingers, instead of knocking him out.  I promise to do better next time.  As for me, I’ve broken ribs before – it’s no big deal, unless the shape you’re in is that of giant puss-wart.”

Go and have a nap or a concussion, maybe some Prozac.  There is a good chance Part III is coming soon.  Get ready for the end of 2019.  We’ve got the Magic 8 Ball in overdrive – we asked again later, survived countless hazy replies, and celebrated a surprising number of “Signs point to yes”.   These are not fake predictions.

Where Will We Have Gone From Here

The gang here at Paying Attention has been trying our hand at divining the year to come.  With Chrump still on the throne, it is barely possible to discern the present.  Many people do not realize that predicting the future is not an exact science.  A large swath of America does not think science is an exact science.  In reality – as if that’s still a thing – nobody can predict the future…as if that’s still a thing.  Nonetheless, we will put our dubious reputation on the line to tell it like it will be.  Our record so far has been as good as anyone’s, since our first foray into Predictions, Prophecies, Prognostications, Projections and Piffle back in 2013.

I. Carnac, questioning all the answers that will be given in 2019

In this case, it is the Year of Our Chrump 2020…I mean 2018 (this is the type of convenient memory modification that can be yours when you use Rent-A-Coma).  Many people are saying that this will have been one of the worst years ever.  And, that is after staggering through 2016 and then crawling through 2017, which even more people are saying was the worst year ever.  In the same way that thanks to global climate change each successive year is the hottest year on record with worsening environmental disasters, 2017 will one day be known as the onset of Global Worsening – that is, assuming we are fortunate enough to be able to look back on it.  It hardly seems possible that we are poised to have survived two crushingly insane years of the Chrump Moronarchy.  We at Paying Attention are hoping that 2019 will not in fact be the Last Year, but are not holding our breath as The Orange Gas Cloud hits its stride. Right now, it looks pretty unpromising.

For the past two weeks most of the staff have been working the old Ouija Board, Tarot Cards, roadside fortune tellers, and of course the venerable Magic 8 Ball, searching the ether for clues of what’s to come.

Our colleague Shay King throws a mean Tarot

Many people are wondering what will become of the future as it labors frantically to become the present and ultimately, the past that can be conveniently and completely forgotten, rinsed and repeated. 

Before we begin divulging the gory details of 2019, one thing must be made clear.  The Secret Service, in solidarity with Chrump-shutdown-furloughed government workers, have walked out on the job, thus leaving the exceedingly unpopular un-prezident unprotected.  This will in no way increase the likelihood that anyone here at Paying Attention will attempt to do anything other than journalistic harm to said un-prezident.  You have our word on this.

How Blue Can He Get?

The 2018 midterm Blue Wave was so massive and the complete and utter absence of hot Wall action paired with Chrump's proud government shutdown caused Chrump to threaten to hold his breath until it was all over.  As always, he was unable to live up to his word, which is as good having porcupine quills covering your face after being sprayed by an angry skunk.  What ended up happening though, was the Orange One ended up turning blue himself.  Unfortunately, the drastic color change scared him so much that he decided he should start breathing again.

Chrump doubles down on chins and intransigence

One-Way Ticket to Nowhere

The latest Killer Zombie Caravan of refugees that Chrump used as a political prop to instill more fear and loathing in his baseless base in the run up to the 2016 midterm election, finally arrived at America’s southern border.  The thousands of troops Chrump rushed in to defend America from the millions of frightened, starving and exhausted asylum seekers were mostly asleep when all ten million arrived at the same moment.  Fortunately for the abused troops, when the caravan arrived, the refugees realized that Donald Chrump was still prezident, said “Fuck this”, and turned around, deciding they would rather take their chances elsewhere.  A spokesman for the caravan said, “We thought America, the country we all revered would have gotten rid of this Chrump by now.  It is clear that we are much better off living under threat of arrest, torture and death at the hands of drug lords and brutal dictators than trying to enter an America that is still unwilling to rid their White House of such a hateful lunatic.  By the way, I am not a criminal and I’ve never raped anyone, or even grabbed anyone by the pussy.”

America and Bust: Thousands of Americans
trying to get out before it’s too late

In a related story, hundreds undocumented workers quit at all of Donald Chrump’s American resorts.  A spokesperson for the workers told Paying Attention, “We are desperate for work, but not that desperate.  We can’t in good conscience work for this vicious man.  We are proud to shut these resorts down.  We won’t blame Mr. Chrump for the shut-down.  We will own it.  Seriously.  We are not weak losers like him, and we won’t be bullied into caving by the likes of Rush Limbaugh or Ann Coulter.”

February 25, 2019

Et Tu, Butthead?

Twenty-five Republican’t Senators, wishing to avoid an unpleasant impeachment process, finally see the writing that has been on the wall for over two years now and switch parties en masse.  We decided to jump ship in the hope that Mr. Chrump would see the writing on the wall and step aside of his own free will.  A spokesman for the group told Paying Attention, “We did not count on the fact that, while he very well might have seen the writing on the wall, he was unable to interpret the symbols.  I guess we should have used more pictures and fewer words.  How could we have known this guy was such a danger?  We thought he was just being hyperbolic when he said all Mexicans were criminals and rapists, we assumed he was kidding when he said he liked heroes that weren’t captured.  We thought he was just having a little seizure when he was mocking a handicapped reporter.  No one thought his humorous locker-room talk about grabbin’ by the pussy was a big deal.  Now it seems clear that maybe we should not support him anymore.  We just hope people will forget all the damage we caused so we can still get re-elected.”

They that lieth down with Chrump shall rise up with subpoenas

Paying Attention Encore Presentation

December 24, 2018

As you might have heard, “Hair” Chrump does not care for Christmas.  You will be not the least bit surprised that the reason he does not like the biggest holiday on Earth.  It is because it is not about him.  Not kidding.  Not making this up.  Not even the indoor forest of blood-red holiday (That’s right, I said holiday!) trees were enough to make the Orange Gas Cloud happy for the holidays.  Always yearning to make Der Furor happy, Paying Attention offers up this re-gifted holiday treat.  It is about Chrump so he is bound to like it, but it can still be enjoyed by real people as well.  We hope you are one of them.

Lock Them Up…Where We Can Keep An Eye On Them

April 18, 2018

Paying Attention Goes Hollywood

You have never seen reality TV before. Ever. You may think you have, but you are wrong. Believe me. Hear me now and thank me later. I alone can fix this. Forget the Kardashians, the Real Housewives, Survivor, Big Brother and all the rest of the fake-reality TV pasteurized, processed entertainment product. Here comes the real deal. You will not be able to look away. You will not watch any other shows. You will seriously consider quitting your job. I mean, more than usual. The best, most beautifully terrific entertainment is coming soon.

Many people are saying that the Chrump “prezidency” is as entertaining as it gets. Sure it causes ulcers, migraines, shortness of breath, tachycardia, insomnia, narcolepsy, projectile vomiting and bleeding from the eyes, and the ears and the wherever. But, it is entertaining dammit. Do you think Mike Pence would be this funny? Well, do ya punk?

Chrump is willing to do anything to get the big ratings. Anything. Insult women – not just some, but all of them, insult entire races of people, or nationalities. Belittle and agitate world leaders, praise dictators, humiliate American law enforcement, the courts, the media and intelligence (of every sort). Hell, he would even get impeached if it was during sweeps week. He denigrates everyone around him – family, staff, cabinet members, boy scouts, porn stars. No one that spends more than 30 seconds in his presence emerges unsullied. Nothing is off the table for Chrump; except perhaps common sense, lucid thought, or any sort of knowledge, but none of that crap sells anyway.

Unfortunately for Chrump, a large majority of his involuntary audience simply want him off the air, out of the House, and off the island. Is Elba still available? I hear Alcatraz has some vacancies. This was true even before the pilot episode sullied the airwaves, or cable, or fiber-optic or satellite, or Crap Chat, or whatever it is the kids are watching these days. While The Chrump Show may have many viewers, most of them are only watching to see when and how it will finally, mercifully, end, and whether anything they once held dear will be left intact. Like Seinfeld, which so many people watched to see what horrible behaviors would happen next. The big differences of course, 1) Seinfeld was hysterically funny, and 2) it was fiction. Chrump is literally hysterical and all the fiction is in his head, but it dictates our reality.

Napoleon sure has some big hands

With each grueling episode, the majority of his audience keeps hanging in there, despite their better judgment, only to grow more weary, more disgusted, more emotionally and mentally unstable. Obviously, there are some who cherish their Human-Cheeseburger-in-chief, and hang on his every ill-advised, incoherent, insincere tweet. They watch with glee, while most of us look on with clenched fists, teeth and eyes. But, we all continue to watch, however painful it might be. And, as you well know, it is perpetually and profusely painful. Take heart in knowing that it will end eventually, and very likely before it was scheduled to do so. And then what will you do?

Best Sequel Ever. Ever.

An excited television executive producer said, “We’ve got a sequel that will absolutely crush the original series. In most cases, the sequel simply bombs. Best case scenario, it does almost as well as the original. Not this time. What we have here is pure television gold. No, diamonds. They’re forever, right? Nobody will be able to resist this. We will start with a block of weeknight prime time episodes, but the plan – if this thing goes the way we think it will, sponsors are literally begging us for slots – is to create something like C-SPAN. That’s right, 24/7 baby. All Chrumps all the time. No one will be able to touch these ratings. Believe me. This will make reality TV great again. We would like to thank Robert Mueller, Rod Rosenstein and of course, our star, without whom none of this would be possible. Also, we have to thank the man of the hour, Michael Cohen – we have already sent him a check for $130K, and he is worth every penny. And, I would be remiss if I left out the one and only Stormy Daniels. We love you Donny.”

For the record, Chrump says he had no idea that Cohen wrote Stormy Daniels a check or why he might have done so. He does not deny having an affair with Daniels, but said, “I really don’t believe I ever had sex with her, but you’ll have to ask my daughter Ivanka about that. I just don’t know anything about it.” It appears that Chrump’s fixer is badly broken. We could not have invented a better end to season one or a better lead-in to what will be, without question, the best television of all time.

TV Or Not TV, That Is the Question

Get ready for the most addicting reality TV of all time. This will be the biggest, most terrific, most beautiful show ever. This is no hoax folks. Join us next Tuesday at 9:00 PM EST for CHRUMP FAMILY HOUSE ARREST.

They’re all together, forever, having a ball…and chain

Many people said it could never happen. They said Chrump could do whatever he wants. Grab ‘em by the p*$$y…well, he said he could. He thought he could pay off a porn star (and perhaps many others) to keep quiet about their affair, but then his “attorney” blew the whole thing up. Chrump said he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and not lose a single vote. As it turned out, doing that would have been less of a problem than what he actually did. Conspiracy, money laundering, campaign finance crime, fraud, tax evasion, obstruction of justice, treason, immeasurable ignorance. He was right about one thing though – no collusion. Too bad, since collusion is not a crime…like all the things he definitely did.

Anyway, they will all be back home where they belong, in their big beautiful Mor-on-Lago, but now they will all be together all of the time. All of them. All the time. They can get in, but they can’t get out. Doomed to a life of McDonald’s, KFC, Taco Bell, Diet Coke. Delivered right to their door – because they cannot leave. Well, at least one of them will be happy, knowing his food is not being poisoned. Though now, he might be willing to take more chances.

The Electoral College cannot save them now. Never again will they eat or visit or slowly sip their much-loved Covfefe. They will not enjoy another visit the very beautiful mountain beaches of Nambia – the island nation that exists only in the fevered mind of their child patriarch, little Donny, Sr. The beautiful island of Nambia. An island surrounded by water. Big water. Ocean water. And, it is landlocked.

This time for real, he will not be visiting his many fabulous golf courses. All those tax cuts he gave himself? Can’t use them where he’s not going.

The realest TV you will ever see. The most fun you will ever have. Don’t miss it. Don’t miss them. Make America greater than ever, or at least greater than the Chrump days. It’s a low bar after all. Not so much a bar as a chalk line on the ground.

Turn on, tune in, throw up.

Second Thought For The Day

 

The Indict at The End of The Tunnel

December 23, 2018

Many people are saying that a sitting president cannot be indicted because indictment leads to trial, and taking a president to court (for, say, lying about having an affair or some other grave national security issue) would take up too much of his (or her, some day after all of us are dead) time, time that needs to be spent on carrying out the critical duties of the Executive.  That argument, like so many others in the Chrump Era, simply does not pertain.  None of the old rules can be summarily called upon in our current situation, especially since so many previous norms have been jettisoned to make room for the Toxic Orange Gas Cloud we call prezident.  What is more, un-prezident Chrump spends less than 10 percent of his so-called work week doing actual work.  Not to mention, 90 percent of what he actually does is corroding everything we are and everything on which our nation was founded.  Therefore, diverting his disease-ridden-gnat-like attention span away from watching television, staring at his own reflection in the mirror, tweeting and stuffing his face with fast food, would not seem to cause any logistical problems.  And considering the job Chrump is doing on America, tying him up in court would probably be a godsend to our national health.

May it please the court. Please?!?!
