Fun Fuct For The Day - Snoop/Dog

Vultures

December 15, 2023

“He’s a populist, authoritarian narcissist.”
former House Speaker Paul Ryan on
Donald Trump, December 13, 2023

And here I thought Trump was just an arrogant, narcissistic, fascist fuckwit. As it turns out what I thought was his pathetic mugshot face, was actually an homage to Charles Schultz and one of Snoopy’s many impersonations – one of my personal favorites – the vulture:

Snoopy would be a much better president…or anything else

Somebody give this man a hot-lead enema.

Dicktator For A Day

December 9, 2023

“A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.”
                Donald Trump, in defense of his Big Lie, December 2022

Last week, afraid to share the debate stage with his wretched rivals, Trump instead held a clown hall with Sean Hannity as his wing man. Hannity was working hard to keep the addled asshole from further incriminating himself, or threatening the lives of journalists, law clerks, prosecutors, judges or democracy.

Hannity lobbed the softest of balls at the demented dipshit, who often swung and missed or whacked himself in the nuts.

At one point, when Hannity tried for the second time to help Donald assure America that Trump had no plans to be a dictator, Trump told the audience, “He said, You’re not going to be a dictator are you?” I said, “No, no, no, other than day one...After that, I'm not a dictator.”

Queen/Dictator For a Day

Either Trump is lying about his intentions for day two or he intends for day one to be the end of the world as we know it. And if Trump is president on that day, and it’s the latter, I’ll feel fine. Believe me.

On This Day In 1980

December 8, 2023

John Lennon Memorial – Strawberry Fields, Central Park, NYC

December 8, 1980, another date that will live in infamy. The day legendary musician, songwriter and activist John Lennon was gunned down in front of the The Dakota apartment building in Manhattan. Further proof that, as Mike Love wrote in the Beach Boys’ Student Demonstration Time, “The pen is mightier than the sword, but no match for a gun.”

Schmuck(s) Of The Day

December 2, 2023

Dimwitted, reprehensible representative Scott Perry (R-PA) has managed to kind of slither under the January 6, 2021 radar though we are now learning that he was a major Christo-fascist player in every single aspect of Trump’s relentless and myriad attempts to overturn the 2020 election. Apparently, this attempt as well as Perry’s supporting role in all of that remains technically “alleged” despite the mountain of Everest…I mean evidence that continues to block out the Sun.

Perry and fellow whackjob Jeffrey Clark plotting the overthrow

of the American government in God’s name…in vain*

Perry was the yahoo who recommended professional doofus Jeffrey Clark to be Trump’s fourth attorney general, though Clark’s only qualification was an almost fanatical devotion to Trump and his plot to steal a second term.

Clark, famously placed under arrest in his underwear.

The best people.

Jeffrey Clark’s mugshot

Perry, whose cellphone has been in the possession of the Justice Department and special federal prosecutor Jack Smith for more than a year has just seen the public release of some of its very interesting, massively incriminating evidence for Perry and quite a few other well-placed Ratpublicans involved in Trump’s failed coup.

Ultimately, 147 members of the Fascist/Trump wing (more of a torso than a wing, actually) of the Ratpublican Party voted to overturn the completely (well, as completely as we can expect in these here United States) legitimate 2020 presidential election. Naturally, it turns out that the only ones actually found to have voted twice, voted for dead parents and other larger-scale voter fraud were Trump supporters, a dozen or so of whom have since been found guilty in a court of law.

Breaking Schmuck

Not wanting to be out-schmucked, freaky, likely-felonious fabulist George Santos was expelled by his involuntary colleagues after the House Ethics Committee found Santos had violated the rules of the House and was completely devoid of ethics. Santos was determined to have broken too many rules even for some Ratpublicans to tolerate. The House (with the exception of the entire Ratpublican leadership) voted to toss him out on his Botoxed ear. This episode will not look good on Santos’ completely fabricated resume.

Many people find it interesting that fewer members of the Fascist/Trump Party voted to expel one-man crime wave George Santos than voted to annul the wishes of the American electorate in 2020 in order to keep disgraced, twice-impeached, four-time-indicted (so far), failed insurrection leader and Fifth-Amendment-dependent ex-one-term-president Donald Trump in the office he had already destroyed. These people are irreparably damaged. They need to be in a home, not in the House.

Many of these same idiots voted to oust their third-highest ranking member – Liz Cheney – just for shooting someone in the face…oh wait, that was her father – just for putting the country above the treacherous scoundrel (with whom she voted about 96% of the time) who tried to overthrow democracy.

For his part, Santos still faces 23 felony counts including fraud and misconduct which will be dealt with by the court system.

Back To Our Regularly Scheduled Schmuck, Already In Progress

Once he realized that the coup was probably doomed to failure, Perry sought a preemptive pardon from El Trumpo. Perry apparently could not afford the purported $2M pricetag of a Trump pardon. Oops. Perry might want to flip before he flops.

Scott Perry – seen here committing sedition

on the cellphone he now claims he never met

Fascinating - Weaponizing Justice

Justices Denied

November 29, 2023

Isn’t it fascinating that Donald Fucking Trump, who promised to, and ultimately did, weaponize the Supreme Court by appointing justices who would end Roe v. Wade, has taken to endlessly whining about Joe Biden weaponizing the Justice Department against him. Biden of course did no such thing, though many people are saying he should have thrown the book, the bookshelves, the wall the bookshelves were anchored to and the entire fucking bookstore, library and/or private book collection at his dumb ass.

The dumbest, most authoritarian president in our history got three appointments to the Supreme Court, all of whom lied under oath about Roe v. Wade being settled law – something they would never consider overturning – during their confirmation hearings. Fascinating.

Thought For Thanksgiving Day

Democrats ≠ Ratpublicans

August 23, 2023

For some, this is a day for giving thanks. Good luck with that. For this moment, I am thankful that I was raised in a democratic Democratic household. The other major party in this country has been riddled with political and moral cancer for my entire life, beginning with disgraced, nearly-impeached and forced to resign from office Richard Nixon. The party has since barreled headlong to become a toxic brew of racism, sexism,  and fascist fuckery. And now, as any and all treatment options have failed miserably, they are succumbing to debilitating dementia. They are totally fucked and planning to take us all down with them. 

This is known as Thankstaking.

Who's On Worst

Many people like to talk about how Washington, DC is just plain broken. Both parties, according to these people, are equally to blame.

Maybe.

Bothsiderism is zombie-like – it is difficult to kill and eats human brains for breakfast, lunch and dinner. As much of corporate media bends over backward to be fair, balanced and stupid, the public is led to believe things like Joe Biden’s age is as bad a Donald Trump’s brain damage, crime and fascism.

Famous reporter bending over backwards

I would like to take a moment to simply throw out a few names that have had major impacts on our politics in modern times:

Joe McCarthy
Barry Goldwater
Richard Nixon
Henry Kissinger
Pat Buchanan
Newt Gingrich
Rush Limbaugh
Alex Jones
George WTF Bush
Dick Cheney
Tucker Carlson
Donald Trump
Sam Alito
Clarence Thomas
John Roberts
Ron DeSantis
Koch Brothers
Mitch McConnell

And that’s just off the top of my head.

Some lesser lights whose impact is currently significant, but who may in the long run end up rotting near the bottom of the dumpster of history:

Rand Paul
Lindsey Graham
Tommy Tuberville
Ron Johnson
John Kennedy
Marjorie Taylor Greene
Lauren Boebert
Kevin McCarthy
Rudy Giuliani
Jim Jordan
Matt Gaetz
Mike Flynn
Mike Lindell
Basically, the entire so-called Republican Party today

How many of these people would you guess (or know full well) are Democrats.

To be sure there have been plenty of nitwit Democrats, but they have not been particularly impactful in the big picture – like Illinois governor Rod Blogoyavich (who tried to sell off Barack Obama’s vacated Senate seat and was ultimately pardoned by Trump). And like Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, who have been absolutely horrible. Why? Because they have spent much of their time in office acting like Republicans. And New Jersey senator Bob Menendez who is now alleged to have been working as an agent for a foreign government.

Oh yeah, and Bill Clinton got a blow job.

Freak out…

I mean, Peace Out.

Or if you prefer, Happy Thanksgiving.

Fun Fact For The Day

STFU Scotty

November 19, 2023

While Donald Jack-In-The Trump was whining about how the Justice Department, in going after him for just a small fraction of the crimes he has committed, “released the genie out of the box,” (actual stupid quote, though probably not as bad as Pandora's Bottle) nearly invisible Black cracker Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) dropped out of the Fascist/Trump Party primary that no one knew he was in.

Scott said that the voters had clearly said, “Not now.” One voter we spoke with said that Scott “did not quite read our lips right. What we were saying wasn’t ‘not now.’ It was not ever, dude. Have you looked in the mirror? Have you not figured out what this party is about? Get the fuck out of here. We do not like your tone – and we don’t mean your voice. Get it?”

Tim Scott – seen here trying to strangle himself
but not knowing exactly who or where he is

Not only that, but according to the anti-choice, anti-LGBTQ+ knucklehead from the Insurrection State, it seems that God told him to run, but not to win. And remember, this primary was always to see who could get the farthest up Trump’s ass to be his ruining mage. Guess the Lord has a great sense of humor. Sort of.

Speaking of the Big Guy, shortly before becoming temporary Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson (who also believes his position, and presumably his raging idiocy, was divinely ordained) referred to American culture as “dark and depraved” and that “America deserves wrath.”

If you see Tim Scott on the road, kill him…oops, my bad, I take that back, that’s the Buddha.

Was that not in fact fun?

Fabulous Fascist Fuck Brothers

November 18, 2023

Welcome to the second installment of Paying Attention™’s new feature – Fascinating. Our first installment featured sick Rick Santorum letting his fascist flag fly, saying that “pure democracies are no way to run a country.”

I find it fascinating that King Rat(publican) is echoing Hitler and Mussolini by calling people who disagree with his insane stupidity and fascist campaign platform “vermin” who he will “root out” for “poisoning the blood of our country.” To quote the late, great Molly Ivins, “I'm sure it sounded better in the original German.”

Equally fascinating – yeah, let’s call it fascinating – the nearly-200-year-old British newspaper The Economist recently put Il Douche at the top of its list of the world's greatest dangers heading into 2024.

File Under Nauseating

I find it considerably less fascinating that Elon Musk is also (once again) parroting Nazi/anti-Semitic tropes on the anti-social-media flotsam that used to be Twitter.
