In Case You Missed It, Or It Missed You

September 23, 2025

Either this is too late, or just in time to say good-bye.

In a video shared on YouTube, South African pastor Joshua Mhlakela claimed the second coming of Jesus would happen on either September 23rd or 24th based on revelations he received from Jesus.

So long suckas

Seems odd that a Jewish kid from either Bethlehem or Nazareth – depending on which bio you prefer – would end the world for most of his original peeps on the Jewish New Year, which he no doubt celebrated his whole life.

Schmuck Of The Day – Eric The Half A Brain

Jethro Trump – Double Naught Dipshit

September 23, 2025

Don’s most brain-damaged son Eric described the late racist, misogynistic, anti-Semitic Charlie Kirk as “probably a second son to my father”. Perhaps Sir Eric is unaware that not only is he his father’s second son, but he has another brother, which would by definition put Kirk in the fourth position, but hey, who needs cipherin’ when you’re the third in line to America’s throne (all he has to do, in the fine tradition of dynasties, is get his older brother out of the way). Maybe Eric is also a double-naught spy. More likely a double-naught IQ.

Why’s In A Name?

What’s My Lie

Surely you have all heard of Diseased Trump’s move to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War. This of course – like every other fucking thing Trump does – is not legal; only Congress can change the names of government agencies. Naturally, Trump could not give even a hummingbird-sized shit what the law says, so despite him now calling it the Department of War, that is just another one of his pre-teen, schoolyard nicknames.

We have learned through our non-existent White House sources that Trump is planning to rename other agencies to coincide with his particular set of skills.

Let’s Play What’s My Lie

Department of Health and Human Services = Department of Death and Human Sacrifice

Department of Commerce = Department of Grifting

Department of the Treasury = Department of Take From the Poor and Give To the Rich

Department of Energy = Department of Petroleum, Coal and Gas and Nothing Else

Department of Justice = Department of Laws-Are-For-Suckers

Department of The Interior = Department of Drill-Baby-Drill

Department of Homeland Security = Department of Very Fine People on Both Sides

Other significant agencies outside the cabinet

Social Security Administration (SSA) = Social Shredding Agency

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) = Environmental Perversion Agency

National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) = Flat Earth Administration

Lastly, the hated DEI – Diversity, Equity, Inclusion will be co-opted into Destroy Everything Immediately under the newly created Department of Charlie Kirk

To be fair, these new names do better reflect their current mission under Crassputin. Kill anything that moves. Crush anyone who dares say a discouraging word about Dear Leader.

Kakatocracy

Donald The Menace’s Kaka For The Masses

A person with a mustache and a person's face

September 20, 2025

In science there’s a concept known as Occam’s Razor. In short, it suggests that if you have more than one idea to explain the same phenomenon, preference should be given to the simpler one.

Trump, the blubbery, blabbering boneheaded beast selected only the finest fuckwits, fatheads and putrid pinheads to lead each and every federal agency into the abyss of idiocy and devastation. From our system of government, our economy, international relations, race relations, voting, health care, cancer research, vaccine research, food safety, workplace safety, civility, public broadcasting, public education, higher education, science, history, truth, the military, intelligence (all types), and the environment, Der Furor is tearing it all asunder. But, why?

All evidence before us as we slosh through the socio-political quicksand that is the Trump kakistocracy leads us – well, me at least – to surmise that Damaged Don’s program of destroying every single aspect of liberty, the pursuit of happiness and life, and defiling our democracy, our laws and our Constitution, not to mention social order and whatever degree of civilized behavior we might have previously experienced, is entirely, for whatever reason, purposeful. Out of pure hatred, revenge and twisted megalomania…with a side of stupid. That is the simplest explanation.

For those unfamiliar

Kakistocracy is defined as government by the worst, least qualified, and/or most unscrupulous people. The term was coined as early as the 17th century and derives from two Greek words, kákistos and krátos, put it all together and you get ‘government by the worst people’.

Kakistocracy has likely never been implemented to such perfection as right here, right now.

It is also possible, and at least as likely, that Donald the Menace is simply the same repeatedly bankrupt, incompetent toxic narcissist he has always been, except that instead of ruining casinos, hotels, golf resorts and literally hundreds of other now-extinct money-losing businesses, sham charities, phony universities, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, he now “owns” and plans to put his gold-plated post-immigration-altered, moth-eaten family name on, what had previously been the most powerful nation in the known history of human existence. And he can only do what he does best – grift, con, lie, cheat and steal until everything around him turns to shit and dies.

So there would appear to be two simplest explanations; 1) Trump wants America dead, with the blood on his tiny, disintegrating little hands. Just to prove how big and strong he is, or 2) he is an arrogant, incompetent boob who is continuing his lifelong habit of shitting the bed, just on a grander scale. He is a simple ton.

There is of course a third, somewhat less simple but no less plausible explanation. Does Crassputin have some covert reason to hand the world over to China and Russia? Despite Putin pissing on Don at every turn, Trump continues to do what is best for the Russian psycho. Could this be what is on the infamous Pee Tape? Putin literally, instead of just figuratively, pissing all over Donnie boy? Did he simply sell us out to China? Clearly, as America and our standing in the world dissolve in a Trumpian acid bath, China and Russia are bubbling over with visions of global domination dancing in their heads. Too complicated? Not at all, but we’ll count this as less, though fairly simple.


If he wasn’t so horny for his daughter, perhaps he’d be dating Vlad

We at Paying Attention have long referred to Trump as a toxic orange gas cloud. Part of the definition of a gas is that it will spread out to fill whatever container it occupies. Gas does not manifest the substance of a liquid or solid. It is not anchored by gravity – or in Trump’s case, by reality – and, it does as it pleases…as does Donald the Menace.

Second Thought For The Day – Say What?

First Amendment For Me, But Not For Thee

September 19, 2025

“I mean, Joe Biden is a bumbling, dementia-filled Alzheimer’s corrupt tyrant who should honestly, be put in prison or given the death penalty for his crimes against America.”
                                 Charlie Kirk, July 24, 2023

You have likely heard that Jimmy Kimmell was “suspended indefinitely” following pressure from Baby/snowflake/president Trump. Kimmell was canceled because, according to Trump, all he does is “hit Trump”. Others insist Kimmell got axed – in a stunning affront to the First Amendment – because he made a mistake in describing loudmouth hate monger Charlie Kirk’s killer. Fortunately, we here at Paying Attention™ do not make mistakes. And we always extend all due respect to President Poopypants.

Just remember:

It’s okey dokey if you say that the homeless should get “involuntary lethal injection or something; just kill them”, but it’s not okay to say displeasing things about the very sensitive, soft-spoken and always benevolent Donald Trump. Even if you did not say anything like he should get an involuntary lethal injection or something, which for the record, is not something we here at Paying Attention™ would ever say. That is simply unacceptable. That would be extremely dangerous to our democracy.

We would only find it acceptable if, in the absence of having committed a murder, Donald Trump received a voluntary lethal injection. We know he always does the right thing. Just so we’re clear.

Thought For The Day – I Found It

Cloudy With A Chance Of Blunder Showers

September 17, 2025

Some may think me a contrarian. So be it. I've been thought and called worse.

I have long derided the ludicrous expression, “It's always in the last place you look.” As a result, when I have finally found something that I had lost, I keep looking. Thus disproving this ill-conceived clap-trap.

It makes me feel better about the world.

Your smileage may vary.

Unfortunately, though my keys are now safely back in my pocket, I seem to have misplaced my democracy. I hope it’s not in the last place I look.

Word Of The Day

KOYAANISQATSI

September 15, 2025

Admittedly, we at Paying Attention™ have felt that this word could be the word of the day pretty much every day. Has been that way for quite some time. So, we just like to make it official every once in a while.

This became one of our favorite words of all time after we saw the brilliant, moving and unique 1983 Godfrey Reggio documentary of the same name.
