This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things

December 6, 2022, as the polls in Georgia are closing in the Peach State’s toxic runoff

Apparently, there are people in Georgia (and some of their friends) who are as stupid and ignorant as we thought they were.       

Someone should tell this yahoo that he and his fellow travelers are the reason “they’re not going to do anything up in Washington.”

Trying to be polite here. Really, I am. There are plenty of Democrats in Congress who can be quite annoying in many ways. But there are many more on the other side of the aisle (the pro-Trump, pro-Hitler, willing-to-forgive-Nazis side) who are simply tiny-brained fascist fuckwit clowns who have no intention of getting anything substantial accomplished. Oh, and they are also incredibly fucking annoying to boot. If people like Mr. Woodall are unable to discern the difference between someone like Rafael Warnock and Herschel Walker, maybe we do need some kind of minimum intellectual competence to qualify for the ability to cast a vote.

Friend of mock-candidate Herschel Walker, Louisiana’s John Kennedy (no relation to the Massachusetts Kennedys or mammals in general) had this to add to Walker’s frightening campaign support

These woke, high IQ stupid people, they walk around with zip lock bags of kale that they eat to give them energy. If you want to eat kale, that's up to you. I don't eat kale. You know why? Because kale tastes to me like I'd rather be fat.

And stupid.

In Related Broken News…

Many pundits keep asking, “Is there room for white supremacy and fascism in the Republican (their word, not mine) Party?” Are you fucking kidding me? The real question is, “Is there room for anyone else anymore?”

Fun Fact For The Day

Walker, Don’t Run

December 5, 2022

It’s once again Election Eve in (part of) Americaland. Though it’s only Texas…I mean, Georgia, much of the nation is watching this race very closely. It is possible that a win for Democrats – and mammals everywhere – could go a long way toward Manchin-proofing the Senate.

Ignore for the moment that the House will be in the hands of a bunch of mental patients and the fact that Herschel Walker seems to think (and I use the term wrongly) he is running for a seat in the House, and hopefully take your pleasure where you can find them.

Sen. Rafael Warnock – hopefully waving good-bye to the man with no brain

Here's The Fact:

Someone should tell wannabe-Senator-Shit-For-Brains that Cassius Clay Changed his name a few years ago. And then tell him to go back to sucking rocks in Texas, where he lives.

Good luck Georgia. Good luck to us every one.

It’s Not A House, It’s A Home*

One Flew Over The Cukoo's Nest...The Rest Are Busy Shitting It

December 1, 2022

Many people are saying this; it's not me saying it, though I wouldn't put it past me. They are saying that as a result of the 2022 election, the inmates will be running the asylum beginning in January 2023. But it is not just that the inmates will be running the asylum. These inmates are either off their meds, in the queue for lobotomy, or have escaped custody and will be permitted to vote in absentia. Fortunately, just like their dear leader, we can be sure that once they take office, they will pivot and act professional. Right?


Morning at the asylum

As everyone knows, the only reason Ratpublicans win most House seats is the vote-suffocating gerrymandering they have instituted. Though the predicted Red Wave of 2022 turned into a post nasal drip, there is still much to worry about. That post nasal drip could easily morph into pneumonia if we are not careful. By some accounts, more than 170 Republicans will be in Congress in 2023 who have either denied or cast doubts on the legitimacy of Joe Biden’s presidential win in 2020. That is 170 out of a total of 535 in the House and Senate. Out of that 535, only approximately 270 (as of this writing) are Ratpublicans. So 63% of Ratpublicans are election liars, who now hold a slim majority in the House and a slim minority in the Senate.

“We have never studied in history how much taxes people paid back in the ice ages to warm up the Earth and melt the ice.”
                                        actual quote from Marjorie Taylor Greene…seriously

Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is the prohibitive favorite to take the gavel from Nancy Pelosi. Most historians agree that we will be bidding farewell to the first woman, and perhaps most accomplished and consequential Speaker of the House in American history to what is likely to be the least consequential speakership perpetrated by the least mentally competent Speaker of all time, that is, until the next Ratpublican speaker who could very well make Herschel Walker look like Albert Einstein. Remember, McCarthy raged that when he becomes Speaker of the House, which is now a distinct and very frightening possibility, he will reinstate dangerous morons like Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar’s committee assignments, which they lost due to insane and hateful comments. Won’t that be grand.

Charlie…I mean Kevin McCarthy, professional dummy:
talking out of a hand up his ass

McCarthy also promised to remove Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Eric Swalwell (D-CA) and Adam Schiff (D-CA) from their respective committees if he becomes Speaker of the House in January. For reasons that exist only in the fevered minds of mental defectives like McCarthy.


Napoleon XIV – They're Coming To Take Me Away

Suddenly, the inimitable (that’s not a complement) Marjorie Taylor Greene has been showing up all over my tv screen, pretending to act like a serious person. She has somehow escaped from her peach-tree dish, survived Nancy Pelosi’s gazpacho Police and all the space lasers the Jews could muster to take her place in the new disproved 118th Congress under the stewardship of Kevin McCarthy or something like him. Greene is already laying out her laundry list of failures: investigating Nancy Pelosi for January 6th, avenge the terrible treatment of January 6 traitors, bringing Anthony Fauci and Hunter Biden to justice, investigating support for Ukraine, impeaching Merrick Garland, various cabinet members and possibly Joe Biden…for trying to extort Ukraine and then starting an insurrection – oh wait, that was the last guy (the one they unflinchingly stood up for) – I mean for being a Democrat.

Ratpublicans want to defund the FBI and eliminate the Department of Justice. Rumor has it that they also plan to appeal the court-martial of Benedict Arnold, demand a recount of the 1860 election (claiming Stephen Douglas had the election stolen), and make Christianity the official religion of the United States. One can only assume there will be more Benghazi hearings, a new round of investigations into Hillary Clinton’s emails and the nomination of Donald Trump for a series of Nobel Prizes and the Supreme Court, and ultimately a push for sainthood, which can now be decided by the six Bishops or Cardinals or whatever the majority of Extreme Court call themselves. Buckle up boys and girls.

As of now Jim “I See Nothing” Jordan, who has been credibly accused of ignoring sexual abuse at Ohio State while he was a men’s wrestling coach, and who is obviously about 50 cards short of a full deck, is poised to become chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.

I have to admit that the Democrats in Congress have no one who compare to any of the leading…let’s call them lights, for the sake of argument…on the Ratpublican side. Even the so-called Do-Nothing 80th Congress (also Ratpublican) actually did something as far as passing legislation. The 118th Congress will not only be a real do-nothing Congress; it will become known as The Revenge Congress. They will have neither time nor inclination to put forth policy, which is fortunate because anything they might do would be better left undone anyway. Instead, they will be loser-focused on harassing, haranguing and hallucinating.

Fun Fact For Turkey Day

Going Native

November 24, 2022

Well, isn’t this a special Thanksgiving Day. Apparently the United States (a shamelessly stolen land) House of Representatives is considering – considering, mind you – honoring an 1835 treaty. The same document the federal government used to remove the Cherokee and take their homeland — the Treaty of New Echota — also guaranteed the tribe a voice (a non-voting voice) in Congress. Yes, that’s right, that would be the same treaty that sanctioned the brutally disgraceful Trail of Tears which murdered a quarter of the Cherokee Nation. Yet, not so much as an essentially ceremonial presence in the government that waltzed in and usurped their ancestral homeland without so much as a fare-thee-well.

Bruce Cockburn - Stolen Land

So, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands all have non-voting seats in the House, but the Cherokee Nation does not. The Choctaws also have a similar treaty but are even further from being seated than the Cherokee.

The good news is we no longer have Sarah Palin to kick around anymore - she lost to Native American Mary Peltola for Alaska's House. 

Happy Thankstaking, white devils.

Just thought you might like to know.
Alright, so that maybe wasn't as much fun as you'd hoped, but it's a fucking fact. So sue me.

Walker, Texas Deranger

We Don’t Have Enough Trees, But One Too Many Walkers

November 23, 2022

“We’re in the best country in the United States.”
Herschel Walker, November 12, 2022

“Well first of all this election is more than Herschel Walker,
this erection is about the people.”
Herschel Walker, November 22, 2022

Can this idiot not tell that it's not just his brain that's melting?

Herschel Walker, who was carpet-bagged out of Texass by Donald Trump in order to pit him against Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA, not TX), has once again changed his stance on abortion. “I believe with both of my brain cells that abortion should only be legal in cases where there is a serious threat to the health of a celebrity's bank account. You knows, that when you a star, they lets you do anything you want. Mr. Trump tole me that and he the smartess man I ever known. And did you know that werewolves can kill vampires?

Walker has not however, changed his brain-dead stance on destroying the environment. He once again showed off his anti-environment bona fides, polluting the campaign trail with more of his signature word salad/vomit, and what we assume must be methane (the highly climate-damaging gas in cow farts) coming out of his pie-hole. Walker gave Sarah Palin a run for her counterfeit money as he flogged the need to keep gas-guzzling cars pumping out that sweet CO2. I think that either Herschel has a serious oxygen-to-the-brain deficit, or he's just an ignorant fuck who should try going without the highly overrated oxygen for a few days, just to see how he likes it, or perhaps he might want to suck on one o’ them gas-guzzler’s tailpipes for an hour or so. What could it hurt?

WARNING: Actual Quote

If we was ready for the green agenda, I’d raise my hand right now. But we’re not ready right now. So don’t let them fool you like this is a new agenda. This is not a new agenda. We’re not prepared. We’re not ready right now. What we need to do is keep having those gas-guzzling cars, ’cause we got the good emissions under those cars. We’re doing the best thing that we can.

Add this to Walker’s previous claim that

Since we don’t control the air, our good air decided to float over to China’s bad air so when China gets our good air, their bad air got to move. So it moves over to our good air space. Then now we got to clean that back up, while they’re messing ours up.*

And his mental mumbling that

They’re not helping you out, because a lot of the money is going into trees. You know that, don’t you? It’s going into trees. We’ve got enough trees. Don’t we have enough trees around here?*

It probably doesn’t help that Walker apparently has a mouth full of socks whenever he talks. That and a head full of fermenting oatmeal. Either way, Paying Attention is offering $100 (in crypto) to anyone who can explain what the fuck Walker is talking about.

And look at the company he keeps…

Donald gets…grabby?

Lindsey wants a piece of…the action?

Knowing all of this, one would not be unwise to decide that Mr. Walker gives mammals a bad name.

So It Goes

November 22, 2022

Little over a month ago Joe Biden talked semi-tough about America’s problematic, some would say disastrous, or perhaps sordid relationship with Saudi Arabia. Given Americans’ frighteningly short memories, you could be excused, if not applauded for remembering that 16 of the 19 hijackers on 9/11 were Afghans…I mean Iraqis…I mean Saudis. Yeah, that’s it – Saudis. You might also recall that some number of Saudis were spirited out of this country immediately after their fellow countrymen perpetrated the worst terrorist attack on American soil – even worse than the one carried out by the very white, very American Timothy McVeigh in Oklahoma City.

Then of course, the Bush/Cheney administration illegally invaded Saudi Arabia…I mean Afghanistan…I mean Iraq. Naturally, the war criminals Bush and Cheney were tried, convicted and severely punished…I mean got off scot-free.

Biden’s almost strong words aimed at Saudi Arabia came three months after his embarrassing photo-op with the murderous scumbag Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (or MBS as his pals, like Jared Kushner call him). It came even closer on the heels of MBS and company giving Biden - and all Americans - a big, beautiful fuck-you when Biden asked for a little help with gas prices. Who's our daddy?

Ouch!

Subsequent to all this falderal, Joe Biden’s Democratic Party took Ratpublicans behind the proverbial woodshed and beat the Senate out of them, and came shockingly close to beating the House out of them as well.

Hey Joe Biden, your party just “won” the midterm election. What are you gonna do now?

I’m gonna let MBS off the hook for the brutal murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi and then I’m going to Disney World. 

Freak out…

I mean, Peace Out.
