Quote Of The Day – From The Day Room

 

Putrid Priorities   

December 3, 2025

“I also like very competent people coming into our country – maître d’s, wine, ya know, experts*, um, even waiters, high quality waiters. You gotta get the best people. ”
Super Genius Donald J. Trffffppmt, November 2025

 

The above is an actual, real, not-fake, non-AI quote directly in response to a question about who the Remains of the White House resident dementia patient and leader of the not-really-that-free world would be willing to allow into the country, now that he is banning so many nationalities – though not white South Africans – from entering the United States.

A random white South African

I know what you’re thinking: Wow, what a dumb-ass I am. I would have singled out scientists, doctors, nurses, teachers, losers like that. I would never have thought to prioritize maître d’s or wine, ya know, experts and high quality waiters. I should be ashamed of myself. And that my friend, is why you, and you alone, are not the president of the United States. I know that’s hard to hear, but it had to be said.

That being said, I have to admit that I would have said chimney sweeps, high quality bank tellers, and 43-man Squamish players.

EXTREMELY Broken News – Just Say No To Drunks

Murder* On The High Seas

December 2, 2025

“Pete Hegseth is a fucking douche.”
South Park, November 26, 2025

This is objectively true

Secretary of Defecation Defense Johnny Walker Red…I mean Pete Hegseth is in hot toddy…I mean hot water over what two whistleblowers with direct knowledge (something Hegseth only has about alcoholism and raging stupidity) of the operation – a double bombing of a small fishing boat in the Caribbean which may or may not have been carrying illegal drugs of some kind – have made public. No one will ever know if there were any drugs aboard, because TrumpCo obliterated this and a dozen or so other similar vessels without any evidence, approval of Congress, or reason beyond desperately trying to distract Americans from the EPSTEIN FILES. Oh, and let's not forget the racism, fascism and total lack of humanity of the creature in charge.

The psychotic, toxically testosteroned ex Fux News weekend back-bencher and current dry drunk/rageaholic is reported to have given a spoken directive ordering members of the Navy to “kill everyone” with a second strike on an already struck small boat. The U.S. military is supposed to rescue any survivors of military operations and attempt to keep them alive. Of course that was before the fascist Trump regime ended all manner of legal and moral standards (such as they were) previously in effect.

Beside the moral directive to minimize death, even of adversaries, it makes strategic sense to keep them alive for the sake of extracting intelligence. Unfortunately, Hegseth, like every other Trump appointee is a mortal enemy of intelligence in all its forms.

Pete “Kill Everyone” Hegseth yelling at military brass

If true, Hegseth’s orders to “kill everyone”, one imagines in order to eliminate any witnesses who could testify to the complete absence of any illicit drugs aboard the small fishing boat, which like all the others blasted out of the water by TrumpCo, could never have enough fuel to reach our shores, let alone carry enough cargo to make it worthwhile, would constitute war crimes.

This alleged war crime of course would trigger a vigorous and thorough investigation, a trial and possible prison time. Just kidding, what this would trigger if true, is a full and unconditional pardon from the criminal-in-chief, and rapidly deteriorating mound of flesh Donald Trump.

More Best People

Trump is so opposed to illegal drugs entering this country that he is poised to pardon former president of Honduras Juan Orlando Hernández, who moved hundreds of tons of cocaine into the U.S. and once bragged that he “would stuff the drugs up the gringo's noses” – his version of Hegseth's “kill everyone” one imagines. This lovely gentleman, who likely promised Trump oodles of blood money, was sentenced to 45 years in prison on drug trafficking and weapons charges. What, no sex trafficking of minors? Oh well, nobody's perfect. I guess it’s good to see old, old Donny boy broadening his horizons even as the Grim Reaper is breathing down his rotting neck.**

Cloudy With A Chance Of Mass Deportations

November 27, 2025

I don't know if you're aware of this, many people are saying it, but this Thanksgiving, just as they did 404 years ago, they're eating the turkeys, they're eating the yams, they're eating the foods of the people who live there.

Too bad the Indians didn’t build a wall to keep out the uninvited migrants that soiled their shores for all eternity before there was even a Mexico to pay for it.

Statue of Lenni-Lenape chief of the Turtle Clan Tamanend located where
almost no one can easily see it in Philadelphia at the entrance to Interstate 95

Talk About Illegal Aliens…

Picture Tamanend or Sitting Bull, descending a golden escalator and addressing a crowd of paid onlookers

When the Euro trash sent their people they were not sending their best. They sent people that had lots of problems, and they brought those problems with them. They brought disease, they brought crime and genocide, they were rapists. And now we know that pretty much none of them were good people. Their descendants are no bargain either.

Be on the lookout for pasty-faced white folks giving thanks for the God-given good fortune of entering this land illegally and slaughtering the original inhabitants so that this country – founded as it was on genocide, slavery and unbridled power for rich white men – might one day elect a convicted felon, rapist and traitor-to-democracy to lead the descendants of the original interlopers who stole this land and then shit all over it.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Broken News – LATE EDITION

Tin Soldiers Are Being Gunned Down

November 26, 2025

We at Paying Attention™ are not prone to traffic in conspiracy theories, but hell, everybody else is doing it. Why should we be voluntarily consigned to adhere strictly to reality and facts – and not even alternative facts.

Earlier today two National Guardsmen were severely wounded by a gunman, very near the Remains of the White House. The shooter’s motive has not yet been made public, if indeed it has been determined.

If this was a mass school shooting of small children, Alex Jones would be frothing at the mouth about it being a false-flag operation – a staged event meant to sway public opinion against the slaughter of the American citizenry by completely unnecessary weapons of mass murder; certainly not the unwieldy, unreliable muskets of the Second Amendment.

Anyway, here goes nothing.

Or is it actually something? 

Either way, please enjoy this completely irresponsible, baseless, paranoid, trumped-up scenario, almost certainly untrue, but utterly believable given the current state of affairs and myriad bad actors in this passionless play. And the fact that The shooter was granted asylum this year – by the Trump administration, a fact that Trash Patel’s fake FBI conveniently left out of their briefing. Hmmmm.

A judge recently ruled that it was illegal for the National Guard to be deployed in Washington, DC for no particular reason other than our perniciously petulant pseudo-president enjoys throwing his considerable weight and criminal Supreme Court ordered superpowers to remain above the law. This did not please Der Furor or his heinously hawkish hit-man now incompetently heading up the Department of Defense – that’s right, I called it the Department of Defense, despite the desire of some to pretend it now goes by a different, more violent, previously discarded name*.

So, how odd would it be for the most violent, lawless, anti-American president, who once asked civilian military leaders if they could just shoot peaceful protesters – American citizens – in the legs to get them to shut the fuck up, to hire someone to shoot members of the National Guard (illegally stationed in our nation’s capital through no fault of their own, perhaps even trying to discern whether or not they were obeying unlawful orders), in order to create an actual excuse for troops to be increased rather than being drawn down as was ordered by the courts.

The shooter was himself shot by authorities and is being detained in the hospital. It will be interesting to see if he makes it through the night.

Either way, who will stop Osama bin Trump from bringing this country to its knees in service to his dementia, toxic narcissism and full-on fascist tendencies? It surely will not be his hostages in Congress.

Fun Fact For The Day – They Can’t Handle The Truth

November 26, 2025

“Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison.”
                                    Henry David Thoreau

Next-Level Fucked Up*

Six Democratic lawmakers – Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona, Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, Rep. Jason Crow of Colorado, Rep. Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, Rep. Maggie Goodlander of New Hampshire, and Rep. Chris Deluzio of Pennsylvania – either served in the military or in national security positions before they were elected to office shared a video last week. The video reminded members of the military and intelligence community that they “can refuse illegal orders” and that “no one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution.” It is part of their oath. An oath that lasts a lifetime.

Trump, the most law unabiding president in American history, described this factually accurate and completely legal message by people who actually served their country instead of grabbing five deferments and calling having sex in the Seventies his “Vietnam” “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” (as always, random capitalization is from the original text)

That’s right folks, following the law, or recommending others follow the law, is now against the law. And we have the criminal-infested, anti-Constitution John Roberts Extreme Court to thank for giving aid and comfort to an already criminal (34 convictions and a rapist to boot) anti-America conman pretending to be president. 

Guilty Conscience Much?

Naturally, the Fascist/Trump Party went apeshit. They lied to their reality and mentally challenged MAGAbots about what the video stated, claiming that it suggested that those in the military ignore all orders from their demented, fascist, convicted criminal, commissar-in-chief. Could it be that all of Trump’s orders are unlawful. Given his history, his senility and his blatant disregard for the law today, almost anything could be further from the truth.

The Fascist Bureau of Interrogation is now investigating these patriotic veterans for doing the right thing by supporting and defending the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, even those living and working in the remains of the White House.

When criminals give orders, are those who follow the orders criminals?

Offensive defense secretary and professional alcoholic Pete Hegseth wants to call decorated, retired Navy captain, now Senator Mark Kelly back to active duty so he can court martial Kelly for, as previously mentioned, quoting military code, what the manual for courts martial says.

Rule 155

The rule that a superior order is not a defense was set forth in the Charters of the International Military Tribunals at Nuremberg and at Tokyo. Here it is:

Defence of Superior Orders

Rule 155. Obeying a superior order does not relieve a subordinate of criminal responsibility if the subordinate knew that the act ordered was unlawful or should have known because of the manifestly unlawful nature of the act ordered.

Donny Bonespurs, who has repeatedly disrespected the military from brass to grunts, prefers that “his” military should – don’t pardon the expression – just follow orders. To that end, Der Furor is threatening to hang for sedition these patriots who spoke truth to assholes.

It seems that Darn Old Trump is just trying to see how much shit he can totally fuck up before he keels over from the decades of stupidity and self-abuse. And crime.

Is this not in fact fun?

Thought For The Day – The Mark Of Zohran

Mamdani’s New Beast Friend

November 25, 2025 

As his poll numbers sink like a mob victim with cement shoes off the Staten Island Ferry, Darn Old Trump is so desperate, he recently cozied up to the Marxist, communist lunatic , radical left-wing fascist, socialist mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. Trump invited the hated loser whose opponent and fellow pussy-grabber Andrew Cuomo, Trump endorsed in the New York City mayor’s race to the remains of the White House for an Oval Office tête-à-Trump. Don had previously threatened “If Communist Candidate Zohran Mamdani wins the Election for Mayor of New York City, it is highly unlikely that I will be contributing Federal Funds.” (RandOm capiTalizTion as originally writtEN)

Trump’s best worst poll numbers ever. Nobody has ever seen numbers like this.

Trump even managed to stay awake for several consecutive minutes while he gushed over Mamdani as if he was some murderous dictator. Damaged Don hasn’t been this giddy since slobbering all over Saudi murderer Mohammed bin Salman last week. Don even came to Mamdani’s defense when a reporter asked the mayor-elect if he was confirming calling Trump a fascist, saying, “That’s okay, you can just say yes. It’s easier than explaining. I don’t’ mind.” As if there was something to explain. Mamdani probably called Trump a fascist because, you know, because Trump is a fucking fascist. There, now that wasn’t so hard, was it? For his part, Mamdani did answer in the affirmative, and later continued to hold this truth to be self-evident in an interview on NBC days later.

Trump getting handsy with Mamdani

Before nodding off…

Once Trump stopped talking and fawning, he went beddy-bye

The question is, was it Trump’s desperation to pull his dying presidency out of the death spiral he nurtured? Was he hoping to take the focus off of his intimate involvement with his pedophile best bud Jeffrey Epstein and his super-secret pedo-files, and perhaps Trump’s own penchant for pedophilia? No one would be the least bit surprised to learn that Trump had his way with under-aged girls – even ones that weren’t his daughter. Or was it Trump’s snowballing dementia that saw him fawning over the man he so recently vilified? All of these things can be true at the same time.

Information Overload

Too Much Information    

November 23, 2025

“Attorney General” Pam “Trump’s Little Bitch” Bondi was asked about the sudden launching of investigations into Democratic-linked individuals mentioned in some recently publicized Epstein documents, while of course ignoring any (ahem) non-Democrats (Trump) linked with Epstein (Trump). Knowing full well that the existence of such investigations could become an obstacle excuse for delaying the release of the Justice Department’s Epstein Files – the ones that Donald Jeffrey Trump could release all by his little self. It he wanted to. Which he campaigned on doing. Then refused to do. And recently re-decided he “wanted released” once it became obvious he had no choice but to say he wanted them released. Even though he is deathly afraid of them being released. Because he has nothing to hide.

Bondi with her hench-clowns, who shall remain brainless

Uncommon Senselessness

Reporter: The DOJ’s statement earlier this year saying the files would not be released, mentioned the fact that the review of the documents and the evidence did not suggest that any additional investigation of third parties as warranted. What changed since then that you launched this investigation?”

Somehow, Bondi’s head did not explode after surviving her response, which is today’s Quote Of The Day:

Blondi: “Information that [stammering] has come forward. [trying not to swallow her tongue] Information. Um, there’s information. [trying not to throw up in her mouth] New information. [Gulp] Additional information.”

So long, and thanks for all the informations.

Pic (Or Two) Of The Day – When Bonespurs Met Bonesaws

It's Not What You Think...I's Much Worse   

November 20, 2025

Attempting to buffer himself against the million-mile-an-hour metaphorical winds of Topical Storm Jeffrey, Donald “Mr. Piggy” Trump brought a bright slimy object into the Oval Office to burnish his ass-kisser-of-murderous-dictator bonesaw…I mean bona fides. The only American president to attempt a violent overthrow of the government and who absolutely despises democracy and America, feted the guy, Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who ordered the murder/decapitation of a resident of the United States and Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi.

That same Saudi guy also happens to have bestowed $2B on Trump’s son-in-law Jackass Kushner in the waning days of the first Trump presidency – which in no possible way warranted this second, potentially fatal-to-the-American-experiment, go-round. The Saudi prince is also currently filling the pockets of Trump’s idiot sons and therefore Trump himself, despite the latter’s clownish denying that he has anything to do with his business that his sons are running in his alleged, but clearly illusory “absence”.

Predictably, when a reporter confronted Trump’s ghoulish guest with the fact that the CIA found that Mohammed bin Salman – the murderous dictator in question – undoubtedly ordered the murder of Khashoggi, Trump verbally and childishly assaulted the reporter, threw the CIA under the bus (again), and excused the murder Trump simultaneously denied his guest had anything to do with. This not being pathetic and stupid enough, Trump croaked of Khashoggi,

“You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen.”

No murderous pig too murderous or piggish for Trumpy (who wishes he could be more murder)

Yes, indeed. Things happen. Like the most powerful nation on the planet, in the history of nations, electing a previously-failed, one-term, twice-impeached, 34-time convicted felon, adjudicated rapist to a second and non-consecutive term as president. The American government version of sawing a journalist into digestible chunks for speaking the truth about a scum-sucking murderous dictator.

BONUS FUN FACT

Murderous bin Salman and Jeffrey Epstein were also besties, who hung out together, maybe even more than Jeff and Don. Epstein and bin Salman used to play video games together, something Trump couldn't do because his hands are too small to work and joystick besides his own very tiny, mushroom-shaped one.
