Tariffuck

April 15, 2025

Members of Congress from the Fascist/Trump Party could end this tariff insanity in a heartbeat. As people have been screaming at them – when they’re not too chickenshit to show up and face the voters – “Do your fucking jobs and reclaim the power granted to you by the Constitution – you remember the Constitution, don’t you. You control the government’s purse-strings. Do your fucking jobs.”

Like executive orders, tariffs-by-presidential decree are not actual laws. Der Furor is imposing his tariffs by using an insanely-broad interpretation of the emergency powers a president is granted when there is “a threat to national security.”

The sick truth is that Don may have a point in a way. There is a threat to national security that most experts agree on. On that requires marshalling all the forces at our disposal, that needs to be stopped dead in its tracks (it’s just an expression). The most dangerous threat to national security since the Civil War – even worse than Dick Cheney – Don Trump. He is a fucking treat to national security. His fucking idiotic tariffs are a threat to national and personal security. Every fucking thing he is doing is a threat to national security, national sensibility and national sanity.

Fuck this fucker. His brain has turned to goo – and it was no great shakes to begin with, only the reptilian part ever really worked. Get him the help he needs. Get him the help we need. Somebody, do something. Inject him with some fucking bleach – hey, it was his fucking idea, so don’t send the goon squad after me, I’m just trying to be helpful.

Public Service Announcement

Call your Congress-critter and maybe say something like what I shared with my idiot Fascist/Trump Party loyalist, Sen. David McCormick, who has become invisible since trumping his way into the Senate…

I just want the senator to know that some of his constituents are vigorously opposed to Donald Trump’s out-of-control tariffs, which are clearly wreaking havoc not only on the American economy but on the global economy. The senator should also know that some of his constituents are not buying Trump’s “the operation is complete and the patient is recovering” gaslighting. The patient is on life support with multiple organ failure and if the senator and his colleagues on the Republican side of the aisle don’t intervene and fast, the patient will, at best be crippled for life. Republicans in the House and Senate need to reclaim their authority over the nation’s purse strings and save our seniors, our farmers, our businesses, our economy and for not a few of us, our lives.

Tesler: Down With The Shit

April 14, 2025

fElon MusKKK is the captain of Tesler. Captains are known for going down with the ship when the time comes. MusKKK’s ship was fine until the captain (MusKKK) started hitting the sauce (or perhaps the ketamine) and thought it would be fun to steer toward the easily visible iceberg. MusKKK is not going down with the ship; he is taking the ship down with him.

Who needs a crew? I got this!

Whatever you think of MusKKK, and there is no longer any reason to think anything good, his car company (which he always insisted was a “tech” company – whatever dude) put electric vehicles back on the map after the concept was sabotaged/murdered many years ago. The resurgence of EVs was a very good thing. But he is a very, very flawed messenger. If he wasn’t so filthy rich that nothing really matters to him, and not such a total douchebag, maybe he would either shut the fuck up or walk away from Tesler, but that ain’t happening. Bummer.

He seems perplexed as to why people would take their frustrations out on his innocent little company, even torching his dealerships. We are perplexed as to why he is torching our government and our democracy. His reason is greed. Our reason is saving democracy.

A group in Seattle is offering to remove the Tesla
emblem and replace it with some other emblem for free

Enjoy your iceberg asshole.

Ted Crud (sic)

April 13, 2025

During a recent Senate committee hearing, Trump’s little bitch Rafael Cruz whined about how unfair the law is in going after Don Trump’s myriad unconstitutional policies and actions.

Cancun Cruz (putting on his best fake serious face and exhibiting unjustified umbrage): Professor Bray, under our Constitution, who should decide elections, the voters or unelected judges?

Prof. Samuel Bray: His answer is completely beside the point since he said nothing about five unelected Supreme Court justices decided the 2000 election after illegally stopping the vote count in Florida, and then ruling that their decision to install the loser of the election, George WTF Bush as the 43rd and up until that time, worst president ever of the United States. Besides, when the professor began a nuanced answer of some kind, Cruz cut him off and posed another ironic question.

Cruz – seen here regretting opening his stupid mouth;

just kidding, he’s taking a dump

Cruz (interrupting): And under our Constitution, who is charged with making policy decisions, elected representatives elected by the people or unelected federal judges?

When Sen. Amy Klobuchar followed Cruz and attempted to answer some of Cruz’s lies with truth, Cruz repeatedly interrupted her, and once Klobuchar was permitted to continue, Ted The Human Toothache walked out of the hearing. Presumably, Cruz’s father did not, as Trump accused him during the 2016 primary – before Cruz became Trump’s little bitch – take part in the assassination of JFK, but Cruz is currently complicit in the attempted assassination of the United States by Don Trump and fElon MusKKK.

The Celebrity "President"

April 11, 2025

Don Trump cares nothing for reality. He believes he is God and simply makes the world anew with every stupid, lying breath he takes, with every insane, clueless move he makes and with every law he breaks.

He is however, obsessed with being on television and with forcing everyone to pay attention to him. If only his parents had done this, maybe the world would be a much better place at this moment in history. Trump is a sad, sick, demented, syphilis-addled sociopath who would happily allow (or as we are seeing in real time right now, cause) everything to blow up if it meant that people knew was the one who allowed (or caused) it.

The (Stupid Fucking) Apprentice

Turmp (Stupid Fucking) Scabinet Meeting

Can you tell the difference?

He can’t. 

And believe me, it looks infinitely better than it sounded. They had to wipe down everything in the room and mop all the slobbering and sycophancy up after the meeting.

You don’t see fElon MusKKK – who after this will never see another scabinet meeting…except on tv – in this picture, but he was forced to sit down with the other kids this time. Trump complimented fElon saying, “Elon’s done a fantastic job. Look, he’s sitting here, and I don’t care. I don’t need Elon for anything other than I happen to like him, but this guy did a fantastic job.” Yeah, just like Trump’s fantastic tariffs.

I don’t pay much attention to politics, but has any actual president ever had his cabinet meetings televised like a fucking reality tv show? I’m surprised there aren’t logos plastered all over everything including the scabinet secretaries. Also, has any actual president required each of his appointees to wax moronic about how wise, wonderful and handsome he is at the start of each televised meeting-of-the-mindless? And finally, who the fuck would want to work for an overflowing diaper of a man like that?*

You can see billionaire asshole Howard Lutnick (far right) sniffing his fingers, having just finished rummaging through Don’s still-in-use diaper.

Here’s something else no president in his (or perhaps some day her) right mind, or any type of even-barely-functioning mind would ever even conceive of. Unfortunately, we don’t have any of those things at the moment. We have a “president” who not only allows, but very likely insisted upon this:

There’s a new dress code in Trump’s Washington, and it’s straight out of a dictator’s playbook. Loyalists in the regime—congressmen, senators, the whole parade of sycophants—are now sporting golden Trump bust lapel pins, a garish little tribute to the man who’s turned the White House into a shrine to himself. They’ve been quietly told to ditch their congressional or Senate pins in favor of this new badge of allegiance. It’s not a suggestion; it’s a loyalty test. And if you’re paying attention, it’s a chilling sign of where this country’s headed.

In case you can’t fucking believe what you just read (but of course you could)…

Jim Cramer Is A…

April 10, 2025

Today’s winner/loser was a high school classmate* of mine a number of years ago – that number is strictly need-to-know. And no one, including myself has a need to know. Anyway, he has grown up to be a financial expert/clown.

And well he should. He is a sucker.

I’m neither interested nor masochistic enough to find out exactly what it was that so-called financial expert Cramer believed Trump about on tariffs. For all the (alright, masochistic) time I’ve spent watching Trump string words together, whether it be about gro-cer-ies, or water pressure or tariffs or any other fucking load of bullshit he might be making words about, I have, as have the majority of Americans, never been even minutely tempted to believe a single word.

Few people have been so wrong so often about so much about which they are supposed to be in the know as Jim Cramer. What a schmuck. Props though, for admitting this particular instance of ignorance – willful or otherwise. Anyone stupid enough to believe a single word that comes out Trump’s face sphincter needs to 1) seek help and 2) stop pretending to have anything to offer society. Anyone who listens to Cramer’s financial advice should just reach out to the nearest Nigerian prince and share whatever personal information is requested. It will be much faster if nothing else.

There is one thing you can say about him: he’s consistent and relentless in his utter idiocy.

Question For The Day – Who Else?

Thugshot

April 10, 2025

Not everyone understands the basics of normalcy or ethics, let alone the nuances of human interaction, sanity or behavior. Some people are maliciously unaware of anyone but themselves. These are not the kind of people one should encourage to hold public office, especially any office more important than dog catcher or village idiot. Unfortunately we have a huge surfeit of these cretins in our government – at every level, particularly at the highest levels – in all three branches. Not to mention the near unanimity of these preverts in the Fourth Estate – those who were supposed to hold the badly behaved in the other three bodies. Uh uh.

Today’s Question For The Day:

Which clueless sociopath has his mugshot hanging just outside the Oval Office?

Not A Thousand Words, But Worth It  

April 10, 2025

At a recent staff meeting, we were trying to decide on which of the following duos of “beloved” anti-heroes, i.e., criminals, we should use as metaphors for our current Dystopian Duo. As Don and fElon spread themselves so thickly across the land, figuratively raping (as far as we know Don’s actual raping days are behind him, and who knows what the fuck fElon gets up to when he’s not leaping around like a dipshit or mounting an armed assault on the U.S. Institute of Peace*) and literally pillaging everything we need and hold dear in every aspect of our lives.

Ultimately, we couldn’t decide, so here are both images for your viewing pleasure and/or nausea.

Bummer & Clod

They went from department to department wiping out any semblance of functionality. Now they’re coming for Social Security – literally and figuratively, which could end countless lives. It’s what they do.
