Broken News – TYLENOL® Bites Back

TYLENOL® – Not Causing Autism Since 1955

September 29, 2025

A message from TYLENOL®, the medicine that definitely did not bring you autism.

TYLENOL®: Safe and Effective (Unlike Donald Trump)

WARNING: Donald Trump is not a doctor. He is barely a human being. You should never take medical advice (or any advice for that matter) from Donald Trump. His brain is damaged. He can barely pronounce words or form coherent sentences and could not care less if you live or die, just so long as he can make a buck.

You might have heard our dementia-addled president repeatedly whine, croak and blabber about TYLENOL® causing autism. If you had any doubt that the raging idiot who suggested injecting disinfectant into the body to fight COVID-19 – the pandemic he tried to hide by stopping the testing, because he figured if you didn’t test anyone, the number of cases would go down and eventually, like a miracle, disappear – was clueless about TYLENOL® and autism, you need only look at the two fruitcakes standing at his ever-expanding sides as he made his announcement.

On one side was Meh Oz, the perennial lying charlatan, who for was a doctor who played a doctor on cable tv –now administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services – who for decades tried to sell everyone on unproven, ridiculous “supplements” while handing out bad advice as useful as a Magic 8-Ball. On the other side was good old Bobby Brainworm, the anti-science Death and Human Sacrifice secretary/heroin-addict/brain parasite host whose very voice makes people sick to their stomachs and very possibly causes emotional harm, if not autism.


The Three Screwges 

Trump is a completely unqualified, uneducated, so-far-from-being-a-doctor-or-even-a-casual-thinker-of-any-kind, doofus. He said that he knew TYLENOL® caused autism, and laid out a new schedule for the MMR vaccine “based on what I feel”. This from a man who clearly has no feelings, who has shown himself to be unfathomably ignorant as a baseline, and is now showing such rapid and complete mental deterioration, that many people are wondering if he can still manage to feed himself or throw ketchup across a room. Also from the same creature who told America that by not taking TYLENOL® “nothing bad can happen, it can only good happen.” And you can take that to the cemetery. At least Trump didn’t try to convince us it was based on something he ‘thought’. This slanderous, sociopathic meat sack will be hearing from our lawyers.

TYLENOL® readily admits that there are certain pains that our medicine cannot relieve, even slightly…

Sorry folks, but you’re on your own with this one

Thank you for your attention to this matter. From your good friends at non-autism-causing TYLENOL®.

Trump Is Like Hitler, Redux

Stop Saying Trump Is Like Hitler
Thank You For Your Attention To This Matter

September 27, 2025

Due to the massive number of people – possibly the largest number of people in history – coming up to me on the street, big strong people who never cried before in their lives, tears in their eyes, begging me, "Sir, can you please repost the amazing piece you did where you put to rest the insane notion that Trump is like Hitler.

There’s another very good reason to redux this sucker. Somehow one of the best quotes on this subject slipped down the old Paying Attention memory hole. Not sure how that happened. It’s not like there’s a tsunami of tshit crashing all around us or anything.

“I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn’t be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he’s America’s Hitler. How’s that for discouraging?”
          James Donald Bowman, aka James David Hamel, aka JD Vance, 2016

Not nearly as discouraging as the fact that you’re now his number two – and I mean that in every way. From “America’s Hitler” to the ass you love to kiss. Every fucking day. Your hillbilly mother must be so proud.

But wait, there’s more…

Obviously fake news – from February 4, 1939

From the original article

Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels today ended the professional careers of five "Aryan" actors and cabaret announcers by expelling them from the Reich's Chamber of Culture on the grounds that “in their public appearances they displayed a lack of any positive attitude toward National Socialism and therewith caused grave annoyance in public and especially to party comrades.” The five include perhaps the best known German stage comedians…

Hitler's Goebbels and Trump’s FCC chair Brendan Carr
Also not the same – Goebbels’ head is tilted to the right, Carr’s the left

Just one more thing from Hair Trump…

One year ago yesterday – September 26, 2024
Sound familiar?

Anyway, please re-enjoy our irrefutable proof of the untruth that claims Trump is like Hitler. This will help you deal with all the people who insist that Trump is like Hitler.

Don't Take This The Wrong Way

September 4, 2025

Given the relentless trashing of his oath of office, and his utter and relentless contempt for anyone who is not Donald Trump, including deploying the United States military against American citizens on home soil, blatantly demanding Texas to steal House seats from voters, and a list of other infractions too long and nauseating to mention, many people are saying Trump is like Hitler.

Almost every day people come up to me, big strong men, women and even children, tears in their eyes, they say “Sir, we are so sad that Trump is like Hitler. We did not vote for Hitler. We don’t want Hitler. We don’t want Trump to be like Hitler. How do we stop Trump from being like Hitler?”

I try to calm their nerves by responding with an answer to simple, so true, it cannot be denied and should without any doubt put the whole issue to rest; “It makes no sense to say Trump is like Hitler. Hitler had a mustache.” Case closed.

“Our capitol city has been taken over by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youth, drugged-out maniacs and homeless people.”
                                     
Donald Trump

We at Paying Attention™ would never say that Trump is like Hitler because if we were to say Trump is like Hitler, and to be clear, we are not saying that Trump is like Hitler, many other people – those who like us, refuse to say that Trump is like Hitler – might take a statement like “Trump is like Hitler” the wrong way.

“The streets of our country are in turmoil. The universities are filled with students rebelling and rioting. Communists are seeking to destroy our country…Without law and order our nation cannot survive.”
                                   
Donald Trump**


See, completely different – Trump’s on a white horse

And Hitler never said anything like this…

“I have a right to do anything I want to do. I’m the president of the United States.”
                        
Donald Trump, August 26, 2025

I Do Not See Hitler When I Look At Trump

The main reason we would never say that Trump is like Hitler is that there is a huge difference between Trump and Hitler. Adolf Hitler wanted to take over the world. Donald Trump wants to fuck over the world.

These are very different agendas.

I mean, come on, would a murderous dictator who terrorizes his own populace go around putting giant posters of his vomitous face all over town?

AI-generated content may be incorrect.

Q: Is Trump really a dictator or just a dick? A: Let’s go with both.

And it’s not like Trump is sending masked stormtroopers and tanks into minority cities to violently assault, terrorize and kidnap non-white people from courthouses, hospitals, schools, farms and Home Depots. Right?

Oh, and Hitler didn’t pal around with pedophile sex traffickers and was not himself a serial rapist. That we know of.

Also, and perhaps most important, Hitler had the good sense to blow his brains out when the going got tough.

Just so we’re clear.

Schmuck Of The Day – A Perennial (Un)Favorite

 

Just Keep Digging Bitch, That’s What You’re Good At

September 25, 2025

Douchey Donnie Doofus gave what many people are calling a “completely bonkers” let’s call it speech at the United Nations on September 23rd. Filled to the brim with psychosis and bullshit, others said it “might be the most bonkers speech of his political career.”

Trump naturally declared his deranged drivel was “very well received”, but as we all know, his brain is made of marshmallow. However, a senior foreign diplomat posted at the UN texted Washington Post global affairs columnist Ishaan Tharoor, “This man is stark, raving mad. Do Americans not see how embarrassing this is?” Hey, watch it fella; that's our brain-dead president you're talking about.

All this, as murderous Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, who ate Trump’s lunch, dinner and breakfast (actually, Vlad merely humiliated Donnie and ran, without even bothering to eat) in Alaska, has not only ramped up his horrific destruction of Ukraine, but has now repeatedly violated NATO airspace. And all Death-To-America Don has to offer is insults and scolding to all of our allies. Is America great again or what?

I did not watch Dumbass Don’s entire UN screech. It was, as usual, nearly an hour long and could very likely cause permanent brain damage. I still have some semblance of a will to live. I’m sure it felt like much, much longer.


Der Furor at United Nations (offensive material redacted)

Some lowlights included Der Furor bashing other nations, telling those assembled that “Your countries are going to hell.” He also, as usual, falsely insisted that the accelerating climate crisis was “the greatest con job ever”* and bragged about his administration's withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, adding, “If you don't get away from this green energy scam, your country is going to fail.” Maybe we should just pour bleach over everything. I hear it’s also good for curing autism.

And here’s a particularly juicy bon moment:

“No president or prime minister, no country, has ever done anything close to that.… everyone says that I should get the Nobel Peace Prize for each one of these achievements.”

I think all those windmills are damaging his uh-brain. Besides being utterly delusional on its face (and comically burnt umber, verging on blackface, on his face), not everyone (in fact hardly anyone) says Trump should get any Nobel Peace Prize, let alone several.

Whoever is keeping score on this, please put me down as a NO-FUCKING-WAY-IN-HELL.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Fraught For The Day – Jimmy And The Giant Amendment

A Who’s Who Of Fuck You

September 24, 2025

It looks like many comedians are going to have to go into the Witticism Protection Program.

Jimmy Kimmell’s “indefinite suspension” will end tonight. It appears that the market has spoken. Countless people, unwilling to allow the Crassputin administration to suspend – as a first step toward eradicating it – the First Amendment, canceled subscriptions, vacations, etc to ABC/Disney-owned concerns.

This reversal, based solely on financial concerns, has no effect on the precarious position of the First Amendment, still in the sights of Trump, who thinks that criticism of him is “really, illegal”. Add this to the miles-long list of democratic principles and actualities that El Trumpo does not, and will never attempt to, understand.

Il Douche has a number of critically important allies in his war against democracy and America:

A group of men with blue and white text

AI-generated content may be incorrect.

Two of the current bad-faith behemoths, Nexstar Media Group and Sinclair Broadcast Group, refused to air Jimmy Kimmel’s return to late night, and will continue to preempt Kimmel, implementing their own, completely legal – because these groups are not part of the government (yet) – and completely evil form of censorship hijacking ABC’s programming and depriving citizens of a nationally televised television show because they despise free speech, democracy and America. And because they can. For his part, Kimmell reemerged with satire, humor and kicking our thin-skinned, black-faced, mentally-desiccated corroder-in-chief in full force.

Soon, most if not all major sources of information, entertainment and social media interaction will be in the hands of very few, very greedy, very anti-democratic, Trump-ass-kissing, megalomaniacal muthafukas.

And now a word from our sponsor…

Peace Out…

In Case You Missed It, Or It Missed You

Either this is too late, or just in time to say good-bye.

In a video shared on YouTube, South African pastor Joshua Mhlakela claimed the second coming of Jesus would happen on either September 23rd or 24th based on revelations he received from Jesus.

So long suckas

Seems odd that a Jewish kid from either Bethlehem or Nazareth – depending on which bio you prefer – would end the world for most of his original peeps on the Jewish New Year, which he no doubt celebrated his whole life.

Schmuck Of The Day – Eric The Half A Brain

Jethro Trump – Double Naught Dipshit

September 23, 2025

Don’s most brain-damaged son Eric described the late racist, misogynistic, anti-Semitic Charlie Kirk as “probably a second son to my father”. Perhaps Sir Eric is unaware that not only is he his father’s second son, but he has another brother, which would by definition put Kirk in the fourth position, but hey, who needs cipherin’ when you’re the third in line to America’s throne (all he has to do, in the fine tradition of dynasties, is get his older brother out of the way). Maybe Eric is also a double-naught spy. More likely a double-naught IQ.

What’s My Lie

AI-generated content may be incorrect.

September 22, 2025

Surely you have all heard of Diseased Trump’s move to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War. This of course – like every other fucking thing Trump does – is not legal; only Congress can change the names of government agencies. Naturally, Trump could not give even a hummingbird-sized shit what the law says, so despite him now calling it the Department of War, that is just another one of his pre-teen, schoolyard nicknames.

We have learned through our non-existent White House sources that Trump is planning to rename other agencies to coincide with his particular set of skills.

A person standing at a counter

AI-generated content may be incorrect.

Let’s Play What’s My Lie

Department of Health and Human Services = Department of Death and Human Sacrifice

Department of Commerce = Department of Grifting

Department of the Treasury = Department of Take From the Poor and Give To the Rich

Department of Energy = Department of Petroleum, Coal and Gas and Nothing Else

Department of Justice = Department of Laws-Are-For-Suckers

Department of The Interior = Department of Drill-Baby-Drill

Department of Homeland Security = Department of Very Fine People on Both Sides

Other significant agencies outside the cabinet

Social Security Administration (SSA) = Social Shredding Agency

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) = Environmental Perversion Agency

National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) = Flat Earth Administration

Lastly, the hated DEI – Diversity, Equity, Inclusion will be co-opted into Destroy Everything Immediately under the newly created Department of Charlie Kirk

To be fair, these new names do better reflect their current mission under Crassputin. Kill anything that moves. Crush anyone who dares say a discouraging word about Dear Leader.

Kakatocracy

Donald The Menace’s Kaka For The Masses

A person with a mustache and a person's face

AI-generated content may be incorrect.

September 20, 2025

In science there’s a concept known as Occam’s Razor. In short, it suggests that if you have more than one idea to explain the same phenomenon, preference should be given to the simpler one.

Trump, the blubbery, blabbering boneheaded beast selected only the finest fuckwits, fatheads and putrid pinheads to lead each and every federal agency into the abyss of idiocy and devastation. From our system of government, our economy, international relations, race relations, voting, health care, cancer research, vaccine research, food safety, workplace safety, civility, public broadcasting, public education, higher education, science, history, truth, the military, intelligence (all types), and the environment, Der Furor is tearing it all asunder. But, why?

All evidence before us as we slosh through the socio-political quicksand that is the Trump kakistocracy leads us – well, me at least – to surmise that Damaged Don’s program of destroying every single aspect of liberty, the pursuit of happiness and life, and defiling our democracy, our laws and our Constitution, not to mention social order and whatever degree of civilized behavior we might have previously experienced, is entirely, for whatever reason, purposeful. Out of pure hatred, revenge and twisted megalomania…with a side of stupid. That is the simplest explanation.

For those unfamiliar

Kakistocracy is defined as government by the worst, least qualified, and/or most unscrupulous people. The term was coined as early as the 17th century and derives from two Greek words, kákistos and krátos, put it all together and you get ‘government by the worst people’.

Kakistocracy has likely never been implemented to such perfection as right here, right now.

It is also possible, and at least as likely, that Donald the Menace is simply the same repeatedly bankrupt, incompetent toxic narcissist he has always been, except that instead of ruining casinos, hotels, golf resorts and literally hundreds of other now-extinct money-losing businesses, sham charities, phony universities, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, he now “owns” and plans to put his gold-plated post-immigration-altered, moth-eaten family name on, what had previously been the most powerful nation in the known history of human existence. And he can only do what he does best – grift, con, lie, cheat and steal until everything around him turns to shit and dies.

So there would appear to be two simplest explanations; 1) Trump wants America dead, with the blood on his tiny, disintegrating little hands. Just to prove how big and strong he is, or 2) he is an arrogant, incompetent boob who is continuing his lifelong habit of shitting the bed, just on a grander scale. He is a simple ton.

There is of course a third, somewhat less simple but no less plausible explanation. Does Crassputin have some covert reason to hand the world over to China and Russia? Despite Putin pissing on Don at every turn, Trump continues to do what is best for the Russian psycho. Could this be what is on the infamous Pee Tape? Putin literally, instead of just figuratively, pissing all over Donnie boy? Did he simply sell us out to China? Clearly, as America and our standing in the world dissolve in a Trumpian acid bath, China and Russia are bubbling over with visions of global domination dancing in their heads. Too complicated? Not at all, but we’ll count this as less, though fairly simple.


If he wasn’t so horny for his daughter, perhaps he’d be dating Vlad

We at Paying Attention have long referred to Trump as a toxic orange gas cloud. Part of the definition of a gas is that it will spread out to fill whatever container it occupies. Gas does not manifest the substance of a liquid or solid. It is not anchored by gravity – or in Trump’s case, by reality – and, it does as it pleases…as does Donald the Menace.

Second Thought For The Day – Say What?

First Amendment For Me, But Not For Thee

September 19, 2025

“I mean, Joe Biden is a bumbling, dementia-filled Alzheimer’s corrupt tyrant who should honestly, be put in prison or given the death penalty for his crimes against America.”
                                 Charlie Kirk, July 24, 2023

You have likely heard that Jimmy Kimmell was “suspended indefinitely” following pressure from Baby/snowflake/president Trump. Kimmell was canceled because, according to Trump, all he does is “hit Trump”. Others insist Kimmell got axed – in a stunning affront to the First Amendment – because he made a mistake in describing loudmouth hate monger Charlie Kirk’s killer. Fortunately, we here at Paying Attention™ do not make mistakes. And we always extend all due respect to President Poopypants.

Just remember:

It’s okey dokey if you say that the homeless should get “involuntary lethal injection or something; just kill them”, but it’s not okay to say displeasing things about the very sensitive, soft-spoken and always benevolent Donald Trump. Even if you did not say anything like he should get an involuntary lethal injection or something, which for the record, is not something we here at Paying Attention™ would ever say. That is simply unacceptable. That would be extremely dangerous to our democracy.

We would only find it acceptable if, in the absence of having committed a murder, Donald Trump received a voluntary lethal injection. We know he always does the right thing. Just so we’re clear.

Some may think me a contrarian. So be it. I've been thought and called worse.

I have long derided the ludicrous expression, “It's always in the last place you look.” As a result, when I have finally found something that I had lost, I keep looking. Thus disproving this ill-conceived clap-trap.

It makes me feel better about the world.
