Thought For The Day – Fascist Is As Fascist Does*

The City Of Angels Under Assault By The Devil

June 11, 2025

I hear those who know better rightly accuse Trump of not respecting the military, in this case the Marines – who in no way belong on the streets of America to quell a relatively small, peaceful protest.

Naturally, one of the loudest psychotic voices in Trump’s ear, one of those coming from outside his head, belongs to former National Enquirer cover story star: BAT CHILD – half bat, half whatever the fuck else Stephen Miller might be.

Well, at least we know where the fuck Bat Child ended up

Trump, who is deploying troops, tanks and military aircraft to Washington, DC just for fun to celebrate his miserable birthday, is now throwing around the Insurrection Act – you know, the one he wouldn’t dream of even thinking about when his minions brought an actual insurrection (at Trump’s behest) to the actual United States Capitol for the express purpose of overthrowing the duly elected president and the government he was chosen to lead.

The brain-dead birthday boy has pre-emptively threatened violence on anyone who dares exercise their First Amendment right to protest at Don’s big, bodacious, bonkers birthday brouhaha. Squatting in the Oval Office (take that any way you wish), Captain Dementia told who reporters, who did not ask, “If there’s any protest that wants to come out they will be met with very big force. By the way, for those people who want to protest, they’re going to be met with very big force.”

Der Furor lays out his birthday parade plan

There were more people riled up in the streets of Los Angeles, and more people actually arrested, after the L.A. Lakers won the NBA title some years ago.

Dog judge, jury and executioner, and current queen of homeland secret police went on Face The Nation to stand with her bloated, batshit boss on making it illegal for protesters to wear masks, while simultaneously rationalizing the “need” for the ICE storm-trumpers to be masked as they wreak havoc in our towns and cities.

One protester shared his experience with a local reporter:

“Tasted like fascism”

In June of 2020 Der Furor, you may remember, was upset about the people gathered in Washington’s Lafayette Park protesting the killing of George Floyd. During a White House meeting to discuss the protests, Trump asked Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark Milley, “Can’t you just shoot them, just shoot them in the legs or something?”

Wile E. Trump goes after peaceful protester

It is only natural that Trump has no respect for the troops. He has no respect for anyone. Not the troops. Not his own scabinet members, not his vice president. He has no respect for members of his family, never caring for his children, cheating on all of his wives. He has no respect for America, for democracy nor even the pathetic suckers who voted for him. To be fair, not everyone who voted for him is a pathetic sucker. Many of them are equally ignorant, brutally hateful, and anti-democratic – whether they realize this or not.

Donald Trump is and always has been a horribly sick, sick man. Anyone unwilling to see or admit this needs immediate medical and/or psychological attention.

Team Trump couldn't even be bothered to prepare food, shelter, or bathroom facilities for the troops he illegally sent into no-harm's-way for an unplanned length of time. It is time for law enforcement to enforce the law and stop just following orders given by a depraved, anti-American lunatic. Or so it would seem.

The troops should all report to the infirmary and claim to be disabled by bone spurs.

Music Legend Sylvester Stewart, R.I.P.

A Life In Music

June 10, 2025

Music legend Sylvester Stewart, aka Sly Stone passed away yesterday at the age of 82. He was anything but Everyday People. He was a phenomenon. Although not Everybody Is A Star, Sly proved that You Can Make It If You Try. His Life in music was a big Thank You (Falletinme Be Mice Elf Agin) and his band was truly a Family Affair. Sly was known to Sing A Simple Song to inspire people to Stand! and Dance To The Music. The Family Stone would always wanna take you Higher and have some Hot Fun In The Summertime. Sly was not afraid to wade into the civil rights movement by showing concern when There’s A Riot Going On or ruffle some feathers by saying Don’t Call Me N*****r, Whitey.

Sly & The Family Stone

His music and his legacy will live on in his absence. Many, including this reporter have long predicted that Sly will either be late or not show up for his own funeral.

Sly Stone will be missed.

Tripping, The Blight...Fantastic

Elderly frail and mentally failing president Biden stumbles boarding Air Force One.

 

Climbing Broke Brain Mountain

Oops, that was not Joe Biden apparently. It was some other president, who is old, frail and beyond mentally failing. And is afraid of steps. And walking. And thinking. And talking. And democracy.

Flunky See, Flunky Do

And like a good little, loyal, gutless, sniveling worm, Marco Rubio showed everyone that he could follow in Don’s failing fucked-up footsteps by purposely doing the same dunce-step Big Daddy Don did. Little Marco however, did not slip on the same step as Don did, so no one except the two twits thought Marco’s trick worked. Nice try there lap dog.

Marco see, Marco do

Hey, remember when Biden had trouble navigating his way onto Air Force One and the media played on a loop for a year or so? Me neither. 

One could not be condemned for assuming Don “Death To America” Trump had already fallen on his largely useless head after learning that he illegally sent National Guard troops (and then Marines) onto the streets of Los Angeles to do violence against peacefully protesting* American citizens. Against the wishes of California’s governor.

Can you say martial law? Trump can’t, but he sure can enact it. Unless of course his own violent cult members are laying siege to the Capitol. Not only did he let them vandalize the Capitol, beat law enforcement officers, cause on of their own to get shot to death, and attempt to do bodily harm to any number of legislators, he let the perps simply walk away scot-free. And once many of them were hunted down like the vermin they are, and processed through the legal system (remember that?), with hundreds convicted of the crimes we all saw them commit on the TV, Der Furor pardoned every single one of these fuckers to help populate his soon-to-be private army – or militia, if you will.

It is time for the Guard and the Marines to stand up for democracy and refuse to follow illegal orders from the deranged, fascist fuckwit currently holding the title of commander-in-chief. They should not be just following orders.

Look Who's Fuckin’ Talking

June 8, 2025

It's time once again for one of our readers' favorite Paying Attention™ special features (Keep that card or letter coming in):

Look Who’s Fuckin’ Talking™

We will from time to time bring you special moments of stunning, toxic and mind-blowingly-stupid lacks of self-awareness. And there promises to be no shortage of opportunities in 2025 because ignoramuses like Lauren Boebert, Empty G, Donald Trump and a cast of thousands of objectively mentally defective government officials continue to waste valuable oxygen allowing them to emit foul smells and awful sounds.

There has been much, far too much according to many people, talk about what Joe Biden – who will go down in history as one of the most successful presidents – didn’t know and when did he start not knowing it.

For those out there who might be unaware, Joe Biden is no longer president. But the guy who is president at this very moment is certifiably insane. He can’t complete a thought, let alone a sentence. Plus, this guy makes Benedict Arnold seem like George Washington.

Idiot bastards like black cracker Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) refused to let Biden be president after crushing Diaper Don in 2020, and kind of won’t let him stop being president so they can blame Biden for everything Trump is fucking up. Ratpublicans are desperate to distract us from the clear and PRESENT brain damage Trump exhibits every goddam second of every painful day.

A number of Fascist/Trump Party stooges are making Biden’s-failing mental state out to be the most heinous crime against the American people in our nation’s history.

Well, since we’re reaching backwards instead of looking where we are right now, and where we seem to be heading (think Thelma and Louise), I would like to zoom out just a bit further.

Open Up The Memory Hole

Does anyone remember a guy called…now what was his name…it’s on the tip of my finger – the middle one – but I’m getting on in years and my memory ain’t what it used to be…oh wait, I’ve got it; his name was Ronald Reagan. Does anyone remember a guy called…oops, I already did that part…does anyone remember how St. Ronnie was battling Alzheimer’s for some number of years while his wife, who ran everything by her astrologer, ran the fucking country? Anyone? Bueller?

Was it actually Nancy who broke every law in the book, trading arms for hostages while Ronnie was insisting he (or she) would never negotiate with terrorists? Remember when Ronnie told a shocked nation on March 4, 1987, “A few months ago I told the American people I did not trade arms for hostages. My heart and my best intentions tell me that's true, but the facts and evidence tell me it is not.”

So even after the facts and evidence told him what he “believed” (you can’t spell believe without LIE) was not true, his heart and “best intentions” still told him it was true? What the fuck does that even mean? Obfuscation at its best? Or Alzheimer’s at its worst?

Fuck anyone who wants to get upset that a guy who as president (though he did plenty of crappy things before that) did more for more people than Reagan ever considered, can sit on top of one of fElon MusKKK’s soon-to-blow-up-shortly-after-lift-off rockets and rotate.

And don’t even get me started on the guy fucking everything straight to hell as we speak.

I’m sure I’ll find some time to grapple with that in a minute or two, but for now I will go in peace…I mean to pieces.

Look What I Found

I suddenly found some time to devote to King of the Cretins. Desperate Don reposted one of the dumbest conspiracy theories in history:

As usual, kind of describes Trump to a T.

While there’s no question that Democrats often manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, even they are not feckless enough to murder Joe Biden and replace him with a robot and/or clone that seemed as frail and disabled as fascist/Trumpers claimed Biden was. Does Trump believe what he reposted? Does he know his own name at this point? Is this thing on?

We’re out of time, so we’ll leave it there for now.

Calling Dr. Schadenfreude:
Another Unscheduled Rapid Disassembly

June 7, 2025

February 7, 2025

It takes two to stop a tango. Well, it really only takes one, but if that one stops, the tango is over. The most watched season of Dancing With The Scum has come to an unscheduled rapid conclusion. The only real winner at the moment is the audience. The team of Skeve and Greedy was on its way to turning America into one of MusKKK’s rockets, and not one of the ones that doesn’t undergo an unscheduled rapid disassembly.*

How Interesting – Two Cows Beefing

fElon Drugs and Donnie Douchebag are beefing bigly. Like two parents who are fond of clobbering their children every day, America’s two emotionally and physically abusive dads (hey, it’s Pride Month, what the heck) have turned to throwing their haymakers at each other. The kids couldn’t be happier to have even a brief respite from the endless beatings. Though still somewhat cowered in the closet, the bruised boys and girls are having a rare laugh at dads’ expense, not-so-secretly hoping they beat the living shit out of each other allowing the kids to escape with some shred of their sanity left intact.

Our two demented dipshit dads in happier (for them) times;
Daddy E still perfecting his now famous sieg heil

With Daddy Donnie continuing his unchanging role as America’s Biggest Asshole and fElon vying to be the next Liz Cheney (not gonna work shitface) the anti-billionaire/fascist murder of democracy wing of the American public hopes the mutually-assured-destruction passion play currently running lasts at least three-and-a-half years so these to psychopaths stay distracted.

June 5, 2025

Surely, MusKKK thought buying Trump the White House would guarantee him permanent residence at least in the basement. All he got was a lousy $100 billion worth of government contracts, 40 federal cases against him paused, and all of our personal data which he will no doubt be using for niceness instead of evil.

And let’s see those fucking Epstein files please.

Thought For The Day – Repeat Offenders

It’s A Sign…But Not From God

June 6, 2025

Because I have minimal social life and poor self-control, it often irks me to see Trump 2024 lawn signs, banners, and other sensorily-intrusive public displays of affliction. Okay, we get it, the fucker won. Stop being sore winners, losers.

However, it has suddenly occurred to me that not only should these deplorable douchebags leave their cringe-cult signs up, every Trump voter should be required by law (if that’s still a thing) to have a sign in front of their house or on their apartment or condo door. You know, like registered sex offenders.

Normal people should expect to be warned whenever nearing the location of a loyal Trump voter. Many of them look just like regular people…well, regular white people, but they most certainly are not. They are dangerous. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists…well, HE is.

Broken News – What’s In A Re-Name

The Not-So-Few, The Proud, The Gay

June 5, 2025

June is Gay Pride Month, so naturally the fascist/Trump administration took the opportunity be hateful, petty and shitty.

Harvey Milk – the man and the Navy Ship

The United States Navy Ship (USNS) named after gay rights activist/icon Harvey Milk has had it’s name stripped. Offensive Defense Secretary Pete Fuckseth couldn’t even be bothered – or was just trying to be the biggest, limpest dick possible – to preemptively have a new name ready before pathetically un-naming the vessel. Methinks the loser doth protest too much.

To be fair, Fuckseth is also going to strip the names of Harriet Tubman, Medger Evers, Thurgood Marshall and Ruth Bader Ginsburg from the vessels that bear their names…you know, because fear and loathing.

So, as big, beautiful Broadway-style fuck-you to self-emasculating nimrods, nut-jobs and nitwits like Fuckseth and his fellow travelers, Paying Attention™ proudly gives you the flaming genius of Randy Rainbow

Spoiler Alert: He’s gay

Fun Fact For The Day – Job One

It’s Almost Five O’clock (Somewhere); Do You Know Where Your Leader Is

June 4, 2025

Today's Fun Fact is brought to you by renown historian/author Yuval Noah Harari: “The job of leaders is not to gather attention, and it’s not necessarily even to be popular, it’s to be responsible.” 

So simple. So difficult. So the opposite of the morass in which we are currently treading water. Big water.

If you need a recent example of this, you need only look back about six months. As presidents go, and they have inarguably gone every which way, Joe Biden couldn’t have personified the above description any more thoroughly.

A Quick Word About Another Would-be Leader

fElon MusKKK’s problem is not having Aspergers, it’s overdosing on ego, myriad drugs (including, but not limited to ketamine, ecstasy, psychedelic mushrooms and Adderall) and money. On his way out the door the other day, Damaged Don gave MusKKK what appeared to be a gold key to the Executive Washroom. What, no laurel and hardy handshake? MusKKK was clearly whacked out of his mind on something(s), and sported a black eye that he blamed on his five-year-old son.

It looks like MusKKK was none too happy getting the dollar-store golden key and the boot. He has suddenly come out hard against Don’s Big Beautiful Bullshit Bill, calling it “a disgusting abomination”.

Looks like it’s going to be Godlesszilla vs. Ding Dong.

Beware of geeks bearing grifts.

Was that not in fact fun?

This has been your Paying Attention™ Fun Fact For The Day. 

Thought For The Day – Trump = 9-11

Horrifying, With A Chance Of Death And Destruction

June 2, 2025

Der Furor is on a pardon spree. Looking over the list of Trump’s Who’s What-The-Fuck it is obvious that besides simply flipping off democracy, America and humanity, he is amassing his own private militia – much like the gang of every TV Batman villain. Drug dealers, murderers, con artists, he pardons the best people.

Arch-villain The TACO*- his henchmen look on in horror as he does his death dance

You might think his scabinet is a bunch of sleazy fuckwits, and of course you’d be right, but he has let loose, not only his January 6 henchmonkeys, but now a fresh new batch of maniacal malfeasing miscreant morons.

Pouty McFuckface and bunch-of-sleazy-fuckwits scabinet

In 2001 people were known to say that 9-11 was that era’s Pearl Harbor. Donald Trump’s presidency is today’s 9-11. Another terrorist attack on home soil.
