So, you’re probably asking yourself, what is it
that the American people are concerned about three days before Election Day,
possibly an Election Day to end all election days. And not Susan Collins
concerned, but truly, for some, life-and-death concerned.
The most recent polling found that most Americans
are most concerned about the war in Iran, health care and affordability.
Priorities, People
At
the bottom of the list was climate crisis. Thanks to the inherent ignorance,
self-importance and shortsightedness of humankind. Present company excluded.
The
human species, at least those in this country, has forfeited its status as the
most intelligent on this planet.
The
only hope is that young people were drastically under-represented in the
polling.
The
Fascist/Trump/Epstein/Sedition Party is avowedly and brutally anti-environment.

This has been your Paying Attention™ WTF For The Day.
There
is a non-zero chance that Donald “Death-To-America” Trump will be leaning on Chucky
Johnson to stop the American people from having their say by refusing to
certify the elections, or just those won by Democrats. Especially if Trump’s
most passionate issue, John Husted’s ass goes down in defeat. I’m sure Husted could
get a job alongside Katie Harp hanging around Trump while he serves out our
death sentence.

For The Day.
We recently shared Barack Obama’s red-hot burn on
Blob the Builder’s relentless renovations of every fucking thing he can get his
tiny hands or big stupid name on…
“I mean, what’s with all the gold? He’s got the White House
lookin’ like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory.” Barack Obama, October 24, 2026
The Trump apology team had no problem with Obama
comparing Deadbeat Donny’s Saddam Hussein-esque obsession with gold, or his
debasement of the White House with his omnipresent fool’s gold embellishments. No,
what they whined on and on about was the lie that Obama dissed The Cheesecake
Factory – a place in which you can bet all your crypto coin neither Trump nor
any of his cabinet/circus members have never set foot, let alone dined.
They were so desperate that they made slimeball,
mega-millionaire and alleged Treasury Secretary Snot Bessent walk out of an
actual Cheesecake Factory (Or was it all AI? We may never know.) with a Fux
News monkey waiting outside for Bessent to lie that he had “what I always have –
the French Dip Cheeseburger”, which sounds like the most pretentious item on
the massive menu, and then further lied that “I would tell the Martha’s Vineyard
set to give it a try.”
If you believe Bessent – the guy who said he was a
soybean farmer because he owns land on which someone who is not Bessent grows
corn and soybeans – ate at a Cheesecake Factory, then you believe Donald Trump
is a vagan…I mean vegan…I mean human being.

Perhaps
more than anything, the path to ending Trump and actual justice and democracy
goes through Black America, in particular Black women. They have been
instrumental in keeping this country – the country that saw them as 3/5 of a
person at its founding, and continued to allow and protect their enslavement
for nearly another century – from its worst inclinations. Over and over and
over.
Gary Clark, Jr. – This Land
In
1770, the first person to die for American independence was Crispus Attucks, of
African American and Native American descent, shot during the Boston Massacre.
In
the 1960s, Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, John Lewis and countless others
in the Civil Rights Movement were instrumental in dragging this country
kicking, lynching and screaming into becoming an actual liberal democracy.
On
June 17, 1972 a Black man, Frank Wills, security guard at the Watergate complex,
caught Richard Nixon’s “plumbers” in the act of sabotaging democracy.
May
25, 2020, a 17-year-old Black girl, Darnella Frazier saw a Black man being
pinned to the ground by several police officers, one with his knee on the man’s
neck. She held her phone in camera mode for nine minutes and twenty-nine
seconds, as onlookers begged to officers to stop, as George Floyd begged for
breath and finally for his mother before his brutal, wholly unnecessary murder
was complete.
On
January 6, 2021 Donald Trump’s mob attacked the Capitol, with murder in their
hearts and a coup d’etat on their minds. Black Capitol officer Eugene Goodman
acted as a decoy and singlehandedly redirected the mob, saving the lives of
members of Congress towards whom the mob had been headed until Goodman distracted
them, presumably with a bright, shiny object.
Yes,
the Democrats have been much more talk than action when it comes to enhancing
the lives of Black Americans, but there can be no doubt that their not-so-loyal
opposition – now the Fascist/Trump/Epstein/Sedition Party – will never be the
ones to promote equality, which they have literally made all but illegal, for
anyone but wealthy, white males. As flawed as it may be, the choice is clear.
And the choice is now. Or possibly never.
If
our Black brothers and sisters and others can find it in their hearts to try
once more to wield their electoral power – like no one has ever seen before, to
coin a phrase – this nation might avail itself of the equal-and-opposite
reaction to the criminal, fascist, racist movement whose face is Donald Jeffrey
Epstein Trump, and take one more step toward becoming a more perfect union.
“What
we are seeing, with leadership from African American communities in particular,
is that morally legible, non-violent, principled protest, works. Yes, now, even
in 2026.”
Perhaps
it falls to the descendants of those who literally built this country for much
less than no pay to help all of us to rebuild this shattered republic,
hopefully better and stronger and more of, for and by the people than it has
ever been. Nothing less can be acceptable.
It
would be unfair not to mention that the Fascist/Trump/Epstein Party started a
redistricting war last year aimed at eliminating majority-Black voting
districts across Red America (or as Robert Smigel christened it during the Bush
II years – Dumbfuckistan). Racist much? And where’s the Supreme Court? Just
kidding, we know exactly where they are – up Trump’s racist ass.
And
maybe this time, if African Americans save democracy again, we will all repay those
who have given so much and gotten so little in return properly, once and for
all.

Who’s Fuckin’ Talking™
“You will hear many say that gas prices are
too high.
They skyrocket every time some tin-pot dictator decides to throw a tantrum.” JD Vance, on the stump in Montana, October 26, 2026
Ain’t that the
fuckin’ truth. Vance is presumably talking about the guy who ignored his
nation’s people and legislature, and attacked a country that subsequently shut
down the most important waterway controlling the flow of oil from the Middle
East to the rest of the oil-addicted world, causing prices to skyrocket
worldwide. And just who is this tin-pot turkey? Why it’s none other than the
idiot Vance’s idiot boss Donny Tin-Pot Trump.
Is that a tin pot or are you just clinically
insane?
“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.” JD Vance, privately to an associate on Facebook in 2016
Lastly, we turn things over to Mr. Tin-pot himself:
“The
United States oil and gas business is making hundreds of
billions of dollars. … Our country is making hundreds of billions of
dollars because of what's happened in the Middle East.” Donald Jumping Butterballs Trump, October 24, 2026
Hey Donny,
Would that be the same Middle East you invaded for
no fucking reason, except that immediately after you did that you invested in
oil and gas futures? That Middle East? Does that mean we can finally cut their
massive welfare payments?
Bruises on his hand? What about him sucking his tiny thumb?
In the article, Jim Acosta is quoted
as saying “The way he obsesses over this golf course in D.C., it's exactly what
you're saying, Joe. These are sort of like the ramblings of somebody who just
... They just need to not be in charge of the country and in charge of the
nuclear codes.”
The country and the nuclear codes?
Nobody exhibiting the behaviors we see from Trump should be in charge of tying
his own shoes or dressing himself. Or arranging that stuff desperately trying –
and failing miserably – to cover his head, or applying however many pounds of
frosting cover his face.

Eight days until Election
Day and this is what is going on in our name.
Reporter: “Is there any scenario in which the
Department of Justice would try to block states from certifying the election?”
Attorney General Todd
Blanche: “Yes, of course. It is not
DOJ’s intention to improperly interfere with elections or the state
certification process, but ...”
Not only will
Alternative Attorney General Toad Blanche not rule out interfering with the
coming midterm elections, he and his Department of Just Trump are preemptively threatening
to interfere with the election for senator in Alaska if the Democrat Mary
Peltola emerges victorious. There is a third candidate in the race who just
happens to have the same first and last name as the incumbent
Fascist/Trump/Epstein/Sedition Party candidate Dan Sullivan. Desperate Donald
said, whining like a baby, tears in his eyes, it was his idea to decertify the
election if Peltola wins. How’s that for democracy.
Blanche claimed that
the second Dan Sullivan was backed by Democrats in order to siphon votes away
from the incumbent Sullivan. Funny thing, the non-incumbent entered the race
specifically because he thinks Trump has infected the party he belongs to. He is
not a Democrat or a Democrat plant – that’s the kind of thing Trump’s party has
done repeatedly.
Not to mention that
the Alaska Supreme Court has already ruled in favor of Blanche butting the fuck
out of Alaska’s business. Plus, that Constitution thingy says the federal
government has no authority over state elections.
We are dealing with
a bunch of lizard-brained, cornered, rabid creatures who will stop at nothing
to hold on to power. We live in disgraceful times.
Blanche made it
clear that he is under the complete bullshit impression – it is not a delusion
since he knows this is pure unadulterated, USDA-approved-if-they-did-that- anymore,
Wagyu feces – that he is not the People’s lawyer, but works for Donald
“Death-To-America” Trump. He said as much during a recent interview.
Blanche: There was
this misperception that there’s this separation between the Department of
Justice (now the Department of Just Trump) and the White House (now the Remains
of the White House), and everyone likes to champion that. And they accuse me
of, of, of not suffering from independence. I don’t. I work for president
Trump.”
Barack Obama (to all
U.S. attorneys HE nominated): “You do not work for me. You work for the public.
You take an oath of office to the Constitution of the United States.”
To quote John Kay of
Steppenwolf, “America, where are you now? Don’t you care about your sons and
daughters [etc]?”

This has been another painful edition of Don Trump Actually
Fucking Said This™*
Remember, it will get worse before it gets much worse.
An increasingly desperate and rapidly
declining Donald Trump is relegated to campaigning in red states as he attempts
to mitigate what looks to be a very painful referendum on his historically
failed presidency– his midterm approval is the lowest of any president ever (and
still falling) – in the imminent midterms. He took a break from destroying
Washington, DC and golfing, and dragged his sorry ass to Ohio to rescue
trailing incumbent John Husted…
“I
don’t do this with men very often. I started examining his body. I looked, I watched
up and down, I looked at his ass, I looked at the whole thing. And then I looked
at his hands. He’s got these like claws.” Donald Jezebel
Trump, October 12, 2026
describing Senate incumbent from Ohio, John Husted
It's fun to "stay" at the YMCA
Later that week the president with the most
fake hair and makeup in American history sloshed to Kentucky, home of the 90%
deceased Mitch McConnell, to campaign for his hand-picked candidate for the
House...
At this
same event, Dainty Don decided to again regale the crowd with his thoughts on
his preferred Senate candidate from Ohio…
“I never did that with a man before. I
examined his ass, and then I looked at his shoulders. I looked at his feet. I
looked at his hand. I looked at his jawline. Studied him. He’s got a jawline.” Donald Jezebel Trump, October 17, 2026
describing Senate incumbent from Ohio, John Husted
Examined
his ass?
He’s Hot For Creature
“I’m studying his body. I’ve never studied
the body of a man before. Bit I looked at his ass. (long pause) And then I looked
at his legs and I said his ass his ass is like, it’s like a pile of muscle.” Donald Jezebel Trump, October 20, 2026
describing Senate incumbent from Ohio, John Husted…again
Okay, what the fuck
is a pile of muscle?
Clearly
Donald misses his old playmate Lindsey Graham and is making his way out of the
closet.* Not that there’s anything wrong with that…there’s just something wrong
with every other fucking thing about him. Very wrong.

With such a vast quantity of shit hitting so many
fans, the Paying Attention™ news, entertainment and dire warning crew is doing
everything they can to stay on top of the mountain of hourly disasters and
daily depredations and acts of treason and fascism that bombard our inner
airwaves (what the kids today call bandwidth). It’s clear we all need a little
cheering up, a musical interlude if you will. Even a song with a message takes
the edge off, if only briefly.
Here’s a catchy ditty, a little-known classic we know you’re gonna love.
This one’s for me and the gang at Paying Attention™. And for you, the
discerning public, yearning to breathe free. It’s one of our favorites, a timeless
classic that still rings true 55 years after its birth.

Hot on the heels of yesterday’s American Goebbels Pic Of The
Day, we bring you another neo-Nazi numbskull, fascist fuckwit and authoritarian
asshole, who is the subject of a new documentary.
Oscar-winning documentarian Alex Gibney has turned his focus
on DOGE dickhead Elon Musk.
“An enrapturing evisceration.” The Playlist “A lacerating portrait of power lust and delusion.” Variety “The definitive examination of the world’s richest megalomaniac.” IndieWire
Word on the street is Musk is donating more to
Fascist/Trump/Epstein/Sedition Party candidates than all donors to Democratic
Party candidates. Musk is, after all, the richest shithead on the planet. He is
also helping to prop up fascists the world over. Musk is also fucking around
with the defensive capabilities of Ukraine.
Just days ago, right after Trump’s fake “energy ceasefire”
between Ukraine and no one else, Musk
suddenly cut off Ukraine’s military from access to Starlink’s Star Shield
satellite internet service in the middle of battles.* At the same time, Musk’s
best friend useful idiot Donald Trump withheld warning of Russian missile attacks on Ukraine, leading to more dead
Ukrainian citizens. The U.S. has historically shared intelligence with Ukraine
before attacks. That is, until Putin’s wingman took the White House.
During a recent interview with MS NOW’s Chris Hayes, the
following exchange took place between Hayes and Gibney…
Hayes: [Musk] comes off as an unloved, unlovable,
pathetic, cringey, racist idiot.
Gibney: Yeah.
Hayes: That’s how he comes off.
Gibney: I think that’s fair.
The film is just minutes shy of four hours.
____________________________________ *Musk insists it was Trump’s
decision to cut Ukraine off. Neither one of these idiotic, power-hungry,
fascist liars can be believed. UPDATE:
The global consensus seems to be that Trump made the decision. Whatever, dude. DOUBLE
UPDATE: Oops. Rupert Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal reports that it was Musk who
ordered the shutdown of Starlink that allowed Trump’s boss Putin to bomb a
defenseless Ukraine.
