Headline Of The Day – OMFG

Donald Trump: International Man Of Misery   

March 6, 2026

Not to beat a dead president, but what the fuck is wrong with this guy? Every time he opens his face sphincter he says the most insane thing you’ve ever heard. Why aren’t those nice young men in their clean white coats coming to take him away? And where the fuck are those

Broken News un-Shocking UPDATE – He Lied, She Lied

No One Could Have Not Known

March 6, 2026

In one of the least shocking updates in Broken News history, Paying Attention™ has learned that Donald Jeffrey Epstein Trump did in fact not only approve of Noem’s $200-million-dollar ad campaign, it was his (probably Stephen Miller’s) idea. Homeland Security Secretary said he instructed her to make ads that “thank me for closing the border.” Noem proudly disclosed this in public at last year’s CPAP – Conservative Pimps And Prostitutes (or something) – gathering.

Noem described how Trump said he didn’t want to be in the ads himself. According to Noem his idea was, “I want you in the ads, and I want your face in the ads … but I want the first ad, I want you to thank me. I want you to thank me for closing the border.”

It is sadly predictable that most of the media immediately believed Trump’s denial that he knew anything about the ads. Don’t get me wrong, it is proven fact that Kristi Noem is a sleazy, self-promoting, lying sack of shit. But, it is even more certain than the Sun rising in the east and setting in the west every single day, without fail – at least until our Solar System ceases to be – that every single word out of Trump’s foul-smelling, decaying, sphincter-like-mouth is more full of shit than one of his mid-day diapers.

   Mr. President, you loaded-diaper-pussy-grabber       Kristi, you ignorant slut

The smart money is on somehow both of them lying.

This has been a Paying Attention™ Broken News un-Shocking UPDATE.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled arts and crafts. 

Noem Fries

Bye, Bye Murdery

March 6, 2026

Trump has fired Kristi Noem, who faithfully carried out Trump’s campaign of terror and murder on the streets of America. Before getting fired, she was fried and fricasseed by a parade of Dems on the House Judiciary Committee. She was not fired because agents from her department executed Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti, or because she called these two completely innocent American citizens “domestic terrorists” after they were killed. 

It is possible that Noem was removed because (probably among many other things) she lied under oath about Trump approving a $200M ad campaign featuring and promoting herself, OR, because she told the truth about Trump approving the ads and Trump threw her under the bus by lying that he did not approve the expenses. Also, Noem was too often pulling the cameras away from Der Leader. Lucky for Cricket...I mean Kristi, Trump didn't have her taken out to the gravel pit and shot.

The Best And The Blightest 

Noem will be replaced by someone, if this is actually possible, though clearly it seems to be, considerably dumber, yet equally devoid of any pertinent experience other than a seemingly endless supply of Trump ass-kissing. That special someone is Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK). Mullin talks as though he has served in the military; he never did. Before soiling the halls of Congress he was a plumber and a mixed martial arts fighter. Mullin challenged Teamsters president Sean O’Brien to fight during a 2023 Senate hearing. Mullin literally popped up out of his seat, believing he had the legal right to assault the witness. The senator has of late been battling with the likes of John Kennedy, Tommy Tuberville, Ron Johnson and Lindsey Graham for dumbest fuck in the United States Senate.


Mullin – squinting because absolutely everything is too bright for him

Presumably, based on the giddy excitement Dumb Donald experienced at receiving the completely made-up-just-for-him FIFA Peace Prize, just weeks before starting World War III – the ultimate in FIFA peace prizing, or what FIFA denizens might refer to as an ‘own goal’ – Donald made up a whole new department for Noem to head up so both of them can paint this as a promotion, as opposed to the unmitigated failure Noem has been. And no, this new, imaginary position is not National Dog Catcher/Killer. It is something called Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas. Whatever. The. Fuck. That. Is.


Rep. Jared Moskowitz*

As Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) explained, Kristi Noem, who Moskowitz described as the worst secretary of Homeland Security since its inception after 9/11, “literally took the president’s core issue on immigration, which he was polling at sixty percent in September, and got that down to thirty-nine percent. She exceeded all expectations on doing that by having two Americans shot, one in the face and one in the back under her leadership.” Moskowitz went on describing how Noem has destroyed FEMA and perpetrated untold corruption during her tenure.

Surely, Mullin can bring that thirty-nine percent down to single digits in no time.  

Mullin, during a recent press gaggle outside the Capitol, referred to Trump’s war in Iran as a “war”. He insisted it was others, not he, who called it a war. A reporter immediately reminded – or more likely made Mullin aware for the first time – that he had just referred to the war as a “war”. Mullin said it must have been “a misspoke”.

I rest my case.

Fraught For The Day – This Act Is Still Bombing

The Smog Of War

March 6, 2026

There have been 200 warnings regarding 60 radical Christian fundamentalists (including some who are pushing for The Rapture) from U.S. military personnel stationed at fifty or more military installations. Some U.S. commanders have been telling troops something like this quote from one of them: “He specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation, referring to Armageddon… He said that President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth.”

Who’s return to Earth? Trump’s?

According to one complaint, the above quoted commander “had a big grin on his fact when he said all of this, which made his message seem even ore crazy.”

So, let me get this straight – there are dozens of Brigadier General Jack D. Rippers leading our troops in the field? If they start on about their precious bodily fluids it’s game over.

Brigadier General Jack D. Ripper*

Armageddon Pretty Sick Of This

Lest you get the idea that, well, it’s only 60 (or so) crazed radical fundamentalist officers spouting cultish Christian Armageddon talk to the troops, put away any nearby sharp objects before reading on.

According to reports, Secretary of Defenestration, who has been drooling on about “war fighters” and “maximum lethality” and such, has enshrined Evangelical Christianity at the uppermost levels of the U.S. military. He has been airing monthly prayer meetings throughout the Pentagon. Dry-drunk Pete also attends weekly Remains of The White House Bible study. The classes are led by a preacher who says God commands the United States to support Israel.

Jaw drop.


We’ll meet again…don’t know where, don’t know when

Question For The Day - Trump! What Is He Good For?

Hiding The Incriminating Epstein Files


Fredonia 
America Is Going To War!!

March 5, 2026

After meeting with Vice President JD Vance on February 27, 2026, Oman’s Foreign Minister Badr Al Busaidi – a key mediator in the U.S.-Iran nuclear talks said this

“I am confident, and in my assessment of the way the talks are going, that a peace deal is within our reach.”


Rubio, taking his head out of Trump’s ass to squeak to reporters

Marco Rubio, March 2, 2026:

“We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action. We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that if we didn’t pre-emptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties.” 


Trump decided it would be best to announce his war during the
only hours he is fully awake – between midnight and 4:00 am.
He was literally and figuratively in the dark. He still is.

Lying-self-described peace president Trump, March 3, 2026:

Observe this question and asshole…

Reporter: Did Israel force your hand to launching strikes against Iran? Did Netanyahu pull the United States into this war?

Dumbass: No, I might have forced their hand… It was my opinion* that they were going to attack first. They were going to attack if we didn’t do it.** They were going to attack first. I felt strongly about that… So if anything, I might have forced Israel’s hand. But Israel was ready, and we were ready…

Trump told ABC News “I got him before he got me. They tried twice…I got him first.” (actual fucking quote)

New York Times, February 28, 2026:


Who you gonna believe, your lyin’ eyes or Trump’s lyin’ mouth?

Orwell, out!

Pete Beersbreath, March 2, 2026: “This is not Iraq.”

This is the first thing this dumb cracker has gotten right, probably since birth. I’m sorry, I know I should just be grateful he knows that.

Marco Rubio, March 3, 2026:

A Shah In The Dark

Though the timing of this war instigation is highly suspect (Just kidding, the timing is unmitigated perfidy), many people are saying, though not really that many, attacking Iran, the biggest state sponsor of terrorism around the world, was a long time coming. But let us not forget how and why these Ayatollahs came to power in 1979.

Oh, And This

Question For The Day

When are these fucking assholes going to get their lies straight?

Bonus Question:

Seriously, when?

Trump is not satisfied watching Americans die at his hand here at home, so he decided he wants to see them die at his hand overseas: KIA count: 6

What Hath Trump Wrought?


Thank you South Park

Liar, Liar, Iran's On Fire

March 4, 2026

So, once again, the American public is lied into a war of choice, this time by a president of Russia's choice.

The Fascist/Trump/Epstein administration’s excuses for launching what will very likely go down, and I mean down, as the dumbest war in American history, are as varied, dishonest and pathetic as George WTF Bush’s ever-changing, ever-elusive reasons for illegally invading Iraq in 2003. The only real surprise is that Donnie Do-Bad did not open with MISSION ACCOPLISHED before the first bombs were dropped. That might be that he almost immediately lost interest in the whole war thing because he was too busy picking out the curtains for his room for balls.

Der Furor told the American people the war would be over in two days, maybe four-to-five weeks, or possibly longer. Or maybe just until everyone forgets about the

Donald Trump Memorial Epstein Files

Not only that, but the U.S. military is quickly running out of ammunition. Wait? What? I was sure we gave the Pentagon almost all of our tax dollars, except for the $175 billion set aside for Trump’s ICE ICE death squads. What the fuck are they doing with all that money that they don’t have enough to build up weapons stockpiles? I mean, how much did AA dropout Pete Hegseth’s make-up suite at the Pentagon actually cost? Maybe we just need more tax dollars. Oh wait, most of America’s tax dollars were meant to come from those with all the fucking money, much of which they got from the endless, repeated tax cuts that the Un-democratic Party keep handing them.

So, when we run out of munitions, do we just start throwing bodies at the Iranians? Speaking of which, there are already six unnecessarily dead Americans (not to mention the hundred dead Iranian schoolgirls, and hundreds of other civilians). But don’t worry, Trump is okay with that, and told us “Sadly, there will likely be more before it ends. That’s the way it is. Likely be more. Did I mention the new curtains? They’re gold.”* I highly recommend a sudden epidemic of bone spurs.

Perhaps even worse than running out of munitions, we risk running out of excuses, I mean justifications, never mind, I mean excuses for starting this war.

And remember those incredibly low gas prices Trump lied about giving us? Well, even those did exist, you can all kiss that shit good-bye.

You can bet it’s not just curtains for Trump’s pathetic balls room.

_____________________________________________
*It’s possible he didn’t add the part about the curtains just then. But he did actually wax pathetic about them while discussing his illegal war-of-choice and those who almost immediately were killed in it.

Question For The Day – Be Here All Along

It’s 2026. Do You Know Where Your Country Is?

March 3, 2026

Today, we present the question right up front, followed by the set-up. Hey, it’s a topsy-turvy world folks. Just trying to fit in.

Today’s Question For The Day:

How did we get here?

A few weeks ago, my aunt, my mother’s younger sister, who was born in Belgium in 1938 and landed at Ellis Island along with her parents in 1951 (one year after my mother immigrated), often talks politics with me. We regularly commiserate about the current state of despairs. During that recent chat she asked, “How did we get here?”

In a way, it’s a pretty straight line from Jump Street to Trump Street. Day One, almost 300 years before anyone dreamed of America, the worst immigrants ever to reach these shores began murdering millions and millions of the land’s original inhabitants and taking their land. Then more millions were dragged here from their homes across the ocean and treated worse than animals. Neither one of these crimes against humanity has really ended to this day. And we have never, as a nation, attempted to make amends or reparations or apologize.

It has been said the Hitler’s concentration camps were modeled after America’s Indian reservation system. American returned the compliment by creating Japanese internment camps, and now, the Fascist/Trump/Epstein regime is trying to build concentration camps for mostly innocent immigrants.

Yet people keep saying, “This is not who we are.” Donald Trump and his fascist fuckwits are not who we are. Well guess what, despite all the sick, criminal, seditious, insane, dementia-addled shit Trump has perpetrated upon this nation and the world, there are still more than one third of Americans, along with 52 senators and 218 House members, and very consistently six Supreme Court justices, who continue to all-but-literally (as far as we know) kiss his ass.

Todd Rundgren – Shinola (1982)

And now, for your viewing pleasure, our Duh Leader has dishonestly, unnecessarily, illegally and thoughtlessly started a war with Iran. Even if there had been anything resembling long-range planning for this conflagration, one look at the un-brain trust running the show – Kristi Noem, Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard, Pete Hegseth (who assured us there will be “no stupid rules of engagement”), Nosferatu Miller and of course Double Dementia Don,* and you can see where this thing is going. Straight to fucking hell.

Bonus Question:

How and when can we be somewhere else?

Radio WTAF

March 2, 2026

Paying Attention™ DJ Ariel Baddass returned from her travels a while ago, but is now afraid to leave her house, being somewhat swarthy of skin, quick of tongue, and having a severe aversion to bullets.

I’m here in the basement of our non-existent secure, undisclosed location, turntable at the ready, with my new burner phone. Give us a holler and pick out a tune.

I. Mangrey perusing the playlist

I the DJ: Let’s hit the ground spinning and take our first call. And who do we have on the line?

Caller: Hi, just call me Silence Dogood, first time caller.

I the DJ: Hi Silence. What’s your request and who are you dedicating it to? We’re here to make it happen.

Caller: I would love to hear one of my favorite bands. Kind of the Mothers of Invention of Australia. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone else who has heard of this group – more of a musical collective, really, who performed in one form or another from the mid-60s until the late ‘90s. After all the original members had passed, a new generation of players took up the torch and name of GONG. I want to dedicate this to the memory of Renee Nicole Good, to the memory of Alex Pretti, to all those dead at the hands of Trump’s death squads, to all those brutally assaulted for looking not-white-enough. And I want to dedicate this to the memory of freedom in America, a memory I truly hope can find a way to rise from the fascist ash heap Trump is turning this country into. I also want this to go out to my most long-time anti-fascist friend – Stu Dent.

I.: Well Silence, this is your lucky day. Gong is a huge favorite around here – they had us at Floating Anarchy – and we’re happy for any excuse to put them on the air. By the way, wasn’t Silence Dogood one of Ben Franklin’s pseudonyms?

Silence: Excellent. And, yes. I’d rather try to stay under the radar, and hail of bullets currently blanketing much of America. I am terrified of the mobs of Trump’s ICE ICE animals terrorizing our streets.

Gong – You Can’t Kill Me

Send us your requests and dedications and we’ll get ‘em on the air.

Torn NATO

He Is Become Death

March 2, 2026

“The War Department (not its real name) will not be distracted by democracy-building interventionism, undefined wars, regime change, climate change, woke moralizing and feckless nation building.”
                      AA dropout Pete Hegseth, December 6, 2025

For those keeping score, Trump’s current democracy-building interventionism in Iran is an undefined war, the stated purpose of which is regime change and feckless nation building. But who’s counting?

In the wake of Trump’s burgeoning mental decompensation, coupled with his rape-y, racist, raging fascism and desire for total world domination, our allies across the globe are horrified. Trump addressed, mostly scolded the assembled international movers and shakers at the World Economic Forum 2026 in Davos, Switzerland on January 21 of this year. He told those assembled, in reference to Greenland, “I won’t use force.”

Unsurprisingly, just days after telling the Davos attendees that he would not use force, Damaged Don wheezed this...

“We can do anything we want, we can do military, we can do anything we want. And it’s being negotiated, and let’s see what happens… I’ll let you know in about two weeks.”

Hmmm, isn’t two weeks the amount of time we were to wait for him to repeal and replace Obamacare? Ten years ago? And every two weeks since then?

Later that same month, UK Prime Minister Starmer had some choice words regarding Damaged Don’s insane statement, completely divorced from reality, that NATO never sent troops to Afghanistan:

“I consider president Trump’s comments to be insulting and frankly, appalling.”

Those are two very good and accurate adjectives to describe Trump’s babbling bullshit. Not the best words necessarily, but they’ll do. For now.

All of the above was apparently prelude to the gutless, draft-dodging worm Trump’s illegal, ill-advised, soon-to-be-disastrous bombing of Iran, dubbed Operation Epic Failure, or Epic Furry, or something like that.

Three U.S. troops have already been killed thanks to Trump’s stupid, illegal, and soon-to-be-disastrous bombing of Iran. Those three are like the dead soldiers Trump called “suckers and losers”. Der Furor promised (on social media, you know, as president do) to avenge those deaths, vowing to take out the responsible party. Someone get that man a mirror.

To paraphrase former Secretary of State John Kerry, during his 1971 testimony to Congress, “How do you ask a man to be the first man to die for a mistake?”

Trump presumably wants to bomb Iran until it looks like the East Wing of the White House. Trump is once again using America’s military might as his personal plaything and dragging our allies into harm’s way for the war of choice he needs for his Epstein File cover-up and his desperate plot to suspend the November midterm elections that threaten to put Trump in his place.

We are awaiting a sternly worded letter from Trump’s brand new, Trump-Brand attempt to replace NATO, Bored of Peace. This should be interesting given that Iran is the seventh country Trump has bombed since taking office eleven months ago.* If this doesn't get him a Nobel Peace Prize, I don't know what will (unless more people gift him theirs).
