KOYAANISQATSI, Cont'd again

Still November 6, 2024, 12:13 PM

First things first. I’m okay. Hope you are too.

As the horror sank in and I was able to drag myself out of bed, after dashing off a couple quick posts, I decided I couldn’t take it anymore. I shut the garage, got in my car, and started it up. I lay back and waited for the sweet relief of carbon monoxide. After a half hour or so it dawned on me that I have a fucking electric vehicle, dashing my otherwise beautiful and flawless plan. 

Rent-A-Coma it is.

So, I resigned myself to continue living, as I hope you have. But another thing occurs to me. This could be the best day of the rest of our lives. Oops, did I type that out loud?

So, I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell: ‘I’m as mad as hell, and I’m completely fucked beyond all imagination or hope!’

Who cares if it’s five o’clock anywhere

Wake me after the asteroid hits.
On second thought, where the hell did I put my ENDITOL?

 

 

 

 

I suddenly understand the appeal of authoritarianism. Because right now I feel like Joe Biden should step down, leaving Kamala Harris as president. President Harris should then expand the Supreme Court by executive order*, declare martial law* and have Trump locked up for committing treason* by colluding with Russia…again.

And when Trump’s minions begin their long-lusted-after uncivil war, President Harris can deal with the new insurrection just as Trump promised he would deal with “the enemy from within,” and I quote, “and it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military, because they can’t let that happen.”

What’s good for what countless generals and intelligence experts labelled the “greatest threat to America” is good for a patriot protecting America from that “enemy from within.”

Paying Attention™ Election Update

Staying Tuned

November 5, 2024

It's almost 9:30 here in the East. Do you know where your blood pressure is? 

Polls are closing. Sphincters are tightening. 

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.

Paying Attention™ Election Central

Congratulations, It’s An Election

November 5, 2024


I. Mangrey – 7:15am Eastern

The final day of voting is upon us. One citizen – who should not have been able to vote due to being a convicted felon who has yet to serve any time – was seen exiting the voting booth in southern Florida. Given his history, one imagines he found a way to cheat. Here he is with his immigrant Stepford Wife

Just settling in to glue my face to the TV as the returns trickle in. As of now, the race is too stupid to call. And we don’t want a premature Electoral College.


It's always good to start off with
a little pizza to calm the nerves

Polls where I am close in less than an hour. As of now, Harris is the projected winner in Vermont. And, as Vermont goes, so goes the District of Columbia. Trump has taken Indiana – the home state of the no-thanks-to-Trump-still-alive Mike Pence. Harris is crushing Trump in South Carolina 194 to 78. The game is afoot.


And then some snacks as the evening progresses…or disintegrates

We started an office pool for when Little Donny Douchebag will declare victory. The early pick is 8:30 Eastern, the latest is 11:15. Only T. Doff thinks Trump will drop the N-word while doing so.

We were considering a pool for when Trump will concede, but everyone picked the same thing – when hell and/or Mor-on Lago freezes over. The closest we think he will get will be claiming he has “concepts of a concession speech.”


I. Mangrey reporting. Stay tuned.
 
And keep your ENDITOL handy.                                                                          

From The Good Folks At Paying Attention™

November 5, 2024, Dark and early

Mourning In America?

So, here we are at long last. Will it last long? When will we know whether or not the Great Experiment has burst into flames and burned down the house? I am on my way out the door to go and cast my vote to continue life on Earth for humanity. I’m not kidding around here, this is not hyperbole.

We live in uncertain and highly toxic times. There is a non-zero chance that things could go very, very wrong very soon. Possibly by the end of the day today. And possibly wronger than we have ever seen.

Dementia-addled fascist Don Trump, who several decorated generals – who worked for the only sociopathic anti-American president in this nation’s history – have warned is in fact “fascist to the core” appears to be in a dead heat with a highly qualified, pro-democracy opponent. With democracy and sanity on the line, everyone you know is in a tizzy. Many are wondering which country they should relocate to.

America is at a crossroads. More accurately, America is tied to the railroad tracks with the Trump-train barreling down at breakneck speed.

Did the 2024 election fuck your buzz all to hell? Are you worried that America will become the Ted Cruz of nations? Do you have a headache that goes all the way to your toes? Are you scared to be you in America anymore? Are you worried you won’t be able to position your right arm at the required angle?

I am not a convicted felon, and I will not vote for one, despite his being a person of off-color. We may find ourselves in dire straights, with no good options. You might be searching for a way to cope with something you never imagined you would see in your lifetime. Maybe you will reach for your last pack of Rent-a-Coma

But when Rent-a-Coma just won’t cut it, the folks here at Paying Attention are here for you with a brand-new must-have product, just for these trying times…

 
On November 6th* ask your doctor if the afterlife is right for you.
Ask for ENDITOL by name.


Take two (or ten, or whatever) and forget about the mo(u)rning

It’s always good to be prepared.

Later That Same Election Day Eve

It's Tired And I'm Getting Late

November 4, 2024

Okay, one more thing I have to get off my chest before I attempt to get the last night of sleep I’m likely to get for several days.

“The day that I left, I shouldn’t have left. I mean, honestly,
 because we did so, we did so well.”
Convicted Felon Trump, November 3, 2024

Yes, he did well, much better than should have ever been possible, but funny thing – he didn’t do nearly as well as Joe Biden, who happened to be the one guy he had to do better than.

And hot off his ode to Arnold Palmer’s penis, Daffy Don also decided to treat his low IQ, deplorable, garbage (yeah, that’s right, I said it) rallygoers in Milwaukee with a very beautiful, very strong and powerful pantomime of a blow job on his failed, some say flaccid microphone. It seems all his douchey dancing to the Village People’s iconic YMCA has opened Donny’s eyes and mouth to a whole new world. Good for him. At least he’ll have a fulfilling new hobby in his retirement. In all fairness, he looks pretty good at it. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

But, there is unquestionably, and massively, something, actually everything, wrong with him.


DJ BJ


Donny Does Mic

It is also important to note that law enforcement across the country is preparing to protect America from Trump and his supporters/cult/militia freaks after Trump goes down in electoral flames. Because, as we are contending that Trump said

It’s my way or the death ray. All the voices in my head are telling me I’m so far ahead in the polls, with the biggest rallies where no one ever leaves and I make them wait for hours, there’s no way I can lose. And I will be perfectly within my rights as a psychotic narcissist to incite my poorly educated – I love the poorly educated – white people to commit unspeakable crimes in my name in order to get me into the White House and out of jail, where I clearly belong. Everybody knows this and many people are saying it.

Broken News – Electoral Ennui/Mania

YOU’RE EXPIRED!!

November 4, 2024

In a stunning bombshell, on the eve of the most frightening and consequential election in our lifetime, the results of the 2024 presidential election are no longer in doubt. After months of undercover work, risking life and lunch by spending far too much time in direct contact with convicted felon and rapidly deteriorating elder snakesman DarnOld Trump, our Peabody-knowing reporter Allison Wunderland has made a shocking discovery.

Obviously, we cannot disclose the means by which Wunderland literally uncovered this

It turns out that when the geological deposits of orange dye, spray tan, pancake and several hardened layers of Sherwin Williams Rhumba Orange latex are peeled away, something unexpected though widely applauded is exposed…

It turns out that the worst, most anti-democracy, most criminal – in and out of office – president, who refused to leave office after losing his re-election bid and insisted on running again will not be returning to finish the job of ending democracy in America. Why? Because he has an expiration date. Which just happens to be tomorrow – November 5, 2024.

YOU’RE EXPIRED!!

Thought For Election Day Eve

The (Horrifying) Days Of Our Lives

November 4, 2024

The numbers in almost every swing state poll show Kamala Harris and Tim Walz pulling ahead of convicted felon and at-large mental patient DarnOld Trump aka “The Garbage Man” and his ruining mate VD “Couch Fucker” Vance. however, it must be remembered that all these numbers are within the margin of terror.

Houston (Lansing, Madison, Harrisburg, Columbus, Carson City, Raleigh, Atlanta, Phoenix), We Have A Problem

How the hell is this election even close to being close?
And what's going on with Trump's makeup? Is that blackface or dickface?

As part of his closing argument, Trump took a swipe at sea birds he says are destroying windmills. He is deteriorating rapidly, no longer knowing what he’s for or against. Like how much he hates windmills. Speaking from his new campaign bus/garbage truck, Trump told no one in particular

WE WILL LEAVE NO TERN UNSTONED!

Broken News – (Hopefully Not Too) Late Edition

 

Con Text

November 3, 2024

 

DarnOld Trump recently called Kamala Harris “a Cracker.”

Many people are saying this was probably taken out of context. Well, given the current state of affairs, fuck that shit. I’ll worry about context when they stop lying, cheating, murdering women who need abortions to avoid dying, threatening to deport millions of Americans – each of whom contributes more to our society than Trump ever did or ever will, and destroying democracy.

Speaking of context, more than 400 historians have endorsed Kamala Harris/Tim Walz:

We believe, based on our study of the past, that the nation stands at an unprecedented historical as well as a political crossroads. On the outcome of the election, no less than the election of 1860, hangs the fate of both the spirit and the letter of the Constitution. We appeal to our fellow citizens, whether conservative, independent, or liberal, regardless of party affiliation, to vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

Now, This From Basketball Superstar And Mensch Lebron James

Also, Christopher Titus has a message to share…


Titus seems a bit more agitated than usual

The Unpopular Vote

The Rejectoral College

November 2, 2024

Right about now, with just days to go before E Day, many people find their thoughts drifting to the mythical, moronic, and ultimately poisonous Electoral College – the disgraceful, anti-democratic artifact that put a lie to the notion that the American electorate, unlike those in any other democracy, actually elects the president via the Popular Vote.

Even lizards, insects and most micro-organisms know that the Electoral College is utter bullshit. As of today, nearly 20 of these united states have agreed to give their EC votes to the candidate who wins the popular vote. There’s no telling when enough of the states will make this move and shift the presidential election away from the Slavery Era shenanigans that comprise the Electoral College.

However, there is one sure-fire way for the Electoral College to finally go away.

As soon as a Ratpublican (assuming that the Fascist/Trump Party reverts back to its pre-Trump-level of normal crap) presidential candidate wins the popular vote and loses in the Electoral College, Bitch BcConnell (sorry, I have a cold) or his progeny in the Senate will see to it that this slave-state-inspired artifact will go the way of the dodo.

The current Electoral College – hide your brains

Unfortunately, the chances of that party, whatever version of its misogynistic, racist, classist self it may manifest in the foreseeable future, winning a national popular vote is all but non-existent since there is no means by which they can gerrymander the national vote. Not yet anyway.

As if the whole idea of the Electoral College wasn’t bad enough, the Fascist/Trump Party has been hard at work trying to insinuate their own “alternate electors” (not a real thing) into the already absurd system. Because they cannot even win the Unpopular Vote by what passes for legitimate means.

It is also worth noting that in recent polling 63% of the American electorate favors dumping the Unpopular Vote - including 80% of Democrats and nearly 50% of those in the Fascist/Trump Party.

Seventeen states, holding 207 (of the necessary 270) EC votes have adopted the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC), meaning they would award their EC votes to the ticket that won the national popular vote, regardless of what happens in their states. It remains unclear if this will pass constitutional muster. It is crystal clear that the current Supreme Court (stolen) majority will use any means necessary to keep Democrats out of the White House, if given the opportunity.

The current Supreme Extreme Court

The only Republicans to win the popular vote since Ronald Reagan, were George HW Bush in 1988 and George WTF Bush – whose presidency needs an asterisk and a skull-and-crossbones next to it. The only reason Bush, Jr. was able to win a popular vote was by virtue of incumbency obtained by being illegally appointed to his first term by a partisan Supreme Court – after losing both the popular vote and the Electoral College (had the Court not halted the counting of votes in Florida) in 2000.

Fascinating – Fishing For Sanity

So Long, And Thanks For All The Cetaceans

November 1, 2024


“I want to be a whale psychologist.”
DarnOld Trump to Joe Rogan (Oct 26, 2024) while Trump left his dumbass followers standing in freezing temperatures in Michigan for several hours, during which time many of them left in disgust, which makes sense since they arrived in disgust, and remained disgusting the entire time, and will remain disgusting as long as they continue to worship at the tiny feet (which no one ever talks about ) of a disgusting 34-count convicted felon, suffering from dementia and wallowing in fascist rhetoric, and who threatens to dismantle American democracy if he ever gets his tiny hands (which everyone knows about) on the reins of power in America again.

We have searched every database and contacted every Trump surrogate to no avail in hopes of learning whether Trump was yearning to psychoanalyze whales or just be a psychologist the size of a whale – the latter being the more attainable.

As if Trump gives a flying fuck about any life other than his own.

Full disclosure: 

Actually, dear, near-departed Donald was referencing the alternative fact that windmills were slaughtering whales, and presumably presenting the idea that he wanted to get the straight poop right from the whale’s mouth.

You go gurl.

WTFF*
