We did
not sign any contracts, but we expect our Soros checks to arrive any day. Perhaps
even a Nobel Peace Prize. Soros has a lot of money, so we’re hoping we may be
able to retire from our day jobs, or maybe outsource this blog to Nambia or
Aberbaijan.
Here are
just a few of the thousands of signs we spotted today
And
that was just a sample of the Philadelphia scene. No kings, Donny. Fuck off.
Compare
all that with the countless beautifully printed on high quality paper matching
signs seen at a Trump rally of mindless, talentless, highly overrated losers,
led by the most mindless, talentless, highly overrated cult leader.
Obviously hand-maiden...er, made
This has been your Paying Attention™ Thought For The Night.
Ed Venture here. The crew at Paying Attention is heading out
to attend one of the 2,500 NO KINGS! protests. Our relentless, completely-justified
curmudgeon I. Mangrey just needs to get one more wafer-thin thing off his chest
before heading out the door. Take it away I.
While Der Furor was bestowing what once was a solemn honor,
but is now a complete farce – the Presidential Medal of Freedom (which he also
gave to Rush Limballoon) – on the dead asshole Charlie Kirk, he was
simultaneously revoking visas of people who had leveled discouraging words at
the hateful talking head. Charli Kirk was nothing but a racist, homophobic, misogynist
little shit who pretended to debate people so he could bully them and declare
victory with every exchange. Rest in hell Charlie.
This was the real Charlie Kirk
Soon after Trump awarded the ill-gotten medal to Jirk's widow, we learned of a group of young Ratpublicans engaged in a long-running chat filled with racist, anti-Semitic, pro-Hitler banter. More on this after NO KINGS! DAY. Il Douche had nothing to say about his peeps. Perhaps they will get some Medals of Freedom…or Fascism.
While we're on the subject of NO KINGS! we've had to listen
to Der Furor croak (if only) about how all the protesters are paid by George
Soros – I wish, I could use a few extra bucks. You can tell, the lying psychopath
whined, because they all have these beautiful signs that all look exactly the
same. Joe Rogan, who accidentally had a coherent thought a week ago, apparently
got right back on his fake meds before parroting Dopey Don’s batshit bullshit
“All those people that are protesting on the streets, 99% of
them are losers. The other ones work for the Fed. It’s FBI agents and losers,
that’s all it is. There’s a guy with a van who’s paid by George Soros and he’s
got stacks of signs that were made at Kinko’s. They’re not homemade at all and
you can just fucking pass those bad boys out.”
Damn
you, Soros
We look
forward to seeing all our fellow losers, Feds and Soros employees out there,
all over the country today. Fuck these Pro-fa clowns.
Hey
boys and girls, cats and kitties, all the ships and clippers at sea. This is
Ariel B spinning platters of various sizes, though we always defer to vinyl
whenever possible. Just to remind you, I was asked to leave my last gig after
my tribute to the great Joey Reynolds. As Joey did on his last day at WIBG in
Philly back in the early ‘70s, I locked myself in the booth and played John
Lennon’s Give Peace a Chance for an hour or so, until they brought in a locksmith
and a very large gentleman to help me to my car.
Had
to jump on today to share some tunes ahead of tomorrow’s NO FUCKING KINGS!
rallies all across this suffering land of ours. I’m not taking requests for a
change, but I’m pretty sure you’ll be happy with the team’s picks. We hope you’re
planning to get out there tomorrow and show up for democracy. Show Dementia Don
and his malignant, mental-midget minions that we’re as mad as hell and we’re
not going to take this anymore.
But
first, to get in the mood, tune in to some tunes…
We’ve Seen This Act Before – Now With More Fascism
October 16, 2025
Donald Grump is all atwitter about his Big Beautiful
Government Shutdown, which is a wet dream for “Russell Vought, he of Project
2025 fame".
In case you’ve forgotten, here are some of the lowlights of
Pee 25:
·Replace merit-based civil service workers with
loyal appointees. ·Abolish the Department of Education and cut
federal education funding. ·Reduce corporate taxes and implement a flat
income tax. ·Cut Medicare and Medicaid funding. ·Roll back environmental regulations to favor
fossil fuels. ·Implement stricter immigration policies,
including mass deportations. ·Weaken labor unions and worker protections. ·Allow minors to work in hazardous jobs without
parental consent.
Donald Trump repeatedly insisted (i.e., lied through his
dentures) that he neither knew nor wanted to know anything about the fascist
Project 2025 during the 2024 election. That could only mean that he was the
only person in the entire United States (Remember the United States?) was
unfamiliar with the widely publicized manifesto. Trump immediately hired
numerous authors of various chapters of Vought’s putrid opus as well.
Grim Raper Don & Grim
Reaper Russ
Thanks to these two treacherous cretins our very democracy
is currently treading water with our cement shoes in Vought’s fascism-polluted
ocean of greed and immature idiocy.
Vought is not the first Ratpublican malcontent who had an
idea as a child and held onto it like a dead dog with a chew toy throughout
what passed for adulthood. The other spiteful shithead was one Grover Norquist.
Remember him? Grover made his name as a political activist and anti-tax
advocate; he is founder and president of Americans for Tax Reform – you know,
no taxes on the rich and fuck everyone else. This sniveling shitweasel’s claim
to fame was the statement “I don't want to abolish government. I simply want to
reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the
bathtub.” Cute, huh?
Remember this dumb fuck?
If not, please tell me your secret.
Norquist began his professional, childish anti-tax bullshit during the
Reagan years, eventually rising to the level of being able to coerce his fellow
feces fondlers to sign ATR's “Taxpayer Protection Pledge”. Prior to the
November 2012 election, 238 of 242 House Republicans and 41 out of 47 Senate
Republicans had signed this short-sighted
Norquist was instrumental in securing early support for the
presidential campaign of then-Texas Governor George W. Bush. And that is all that
needs to be said about that.
Steve Kroft, in the November 20, 2011 episode of 60
Minutes, claimed that “Norquist has been responsible, more than anyone
else, for rewriting the dogma of the Republican Party.” It has only
deteriorated since.
I. Mangrey reporting. No way to delay that trouble comin' every day.
Hot on the heels of
not winning the Nobel Peace Prize, American president Crassputin announced that
he is no longer supporting a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Said the
Man/Baby-in-chief in a deep, calmly assured voice,
I only did peace
because I knew I would get a prize, and not one of those things in a Cracker
Jack box, like on of those fake tatoos or a plastic ring. I wanted something
gold, mainly the phony Nobel Peace thing. Nobody really cares about it, but I
deserved one anyway. The antifa losers at the Nobel company have just made a
very big mistake. I will be considering a very big bombing raid in the Middle
East, or maybe the Middle West. Or maybe I will just do the n-word – not the
n-word I used during The Apprentice and so many other times – the other
n-word; I’ll get in trouble if I use the word, but no one will fuck with me if
I just do it, like maybe dropping a huge load on those idiot Nobel people who I
don’t care about. If they fix this Barack abomination and give me the prize,
maybe nothing bad will happen, maybe it can only good happen. You know, Barack
Hussein Obama got a peace prize for no reason, but I save the entire world and I
get nothing. I ended seven or nine or forty wars without even trying. Not that I care. Every day, people come up to me on the street,
while I’m walking around minding my own business, speaking of which, wanna by
some Trump crypto?, anyway, they come up to me, big strong very white men, with
tears in their eyes, saying ‘Sir, when are you getting the Noble Pees Prize?
You want we should maybe break some fingers or legs?’ I just tell them ‘Stand
back and stand by, and I’ll get back to you on that.’ So, if I don’t get my
prize, I will end this pathetic ceasefire, like you’ve never seen before. Thank
you for your attention to this very unimportant matter.
We provided the
transcript* instead of the audio because frankly, Damaged Don is sounding more
and more like White Fang…
_____________________________________________ *Despite the delivery, we decided not to put this in all CAPS to make
reading it a bit less painful.
Today is a federal holiday – some banks are closed,
no mail. Some government offices are closed…check that, most government offices
are closed because Boss/Baby Trump and his malignant minions shut the government
down rather than keep millions of Americans from either losing their health
insurance or having their premiums go through the roof. All in service to Trump’s
ego and transferring money from real people to millionaires.
Any way you look at it is a disgraceful
holiday. It has been known as Columbus Day, and more recently, among the more
intelligent, Indigenous Peoples Day. Columbus, who never actually set foot on continental
North America, had no idea where the fuck he was and is the poster child for
illegal immigrant crime. Unlike the typical immigrant living in America or
attempting to do so today.
Columbus brought disease, murder, greed and
took prisoners to make them slaves. By all means let’s celebrate this asshole. I
guess we should be thankful that the attack on Fort Sumpter isn’t a national,
or even a state, holiday.
An Individual More Deserving Of A Day Bearing His Name
Lenni-Lenape
chief Tamanend was a peacemaker who signed peace treaties with William Penn
beginning in 1863. Tamanend’s monument stands in one of the least visible,
least accessible spots in all of Philadelphia.
Tamanend’s
statue stands at the Market Street on ramp to Interstate 95
There
is allegedly a plan to relocate this stunning statue away from its current insulting
location at an interstate entrance ramp. A stone’s throw from Tamaned is the
shamefully renamed Delaware Avenue – named for the Delaware Tribe – now called,
you guessed it – Columbus Boulevard. Pathetic.
Here are some quotes by Chief Tamanend:
But Wait, There’s
Moron
Naturally, our
make-believe president managed to find a way to make matters worse…and dumber
with an official proclamation making October 13, 2025 “Columbus day”, adding
Outrageously, in
recent years, Christopher Columbus has been a prime target of a vicious and
merciless campaign to erase our history, slander our heroes, and attack our
heritage. Before our very eyes,
left-wing radicals toppled his statues, vandalized his monuments, tarnished his
character, and sought to exile him from our public spaces. Under my leadership, those days are finally
over — and our Nation will now abide by a simple truth: Christopher Columbus was a true American
hero, and every citizen is eternally indebted to his relentless determination.
“This
“Hate America” rally they have coming up for October 18th, the
antifa crowd, the pro-Hamas crowd, and the Marxists, they’re all gonna gather
at the [National] Mall… It is an outrageous gathering for outrageous purposes.”
Mike “L’il Chucky” Johnson,
October 10, 2025
“Laugh at them. Make them small.” Alexandria Ocasio Cortez,
October 9, 2025
Well, guess
what L’il Chucky, we’re not just gathering at the Mall in D.C. We will be
gathering all across this land in cities, towns and villages. And not just the
Marxists and so-called antifa. We’ll be patriotic (if not jingoistic)
anti-dictator veterans, and moms and dads and people who voted for your
pedophile-coddling, war-mongering, shutdown-loving, pro-fa leader, who are
getting screwed by him and you, left, right and center. They know who to blame,
just as you know who to blame.
Lie all you
want to Chucky. We know who we are and we know who you are. Your
War on America is wearing thin and will not stand. And the so-called
“outrageous purposes” you mentioned are keeping our democracy and our
healthcare. As opposed to your outrageous purposes of ending democracy,
stealing from the poor to give to the rich and protecting your
child-sex-trafficking-enabling boss. You tiny-brained wiper of other people’s
bottoms. I blow my nose at you, so-called Speaker Mike. Your mother was a hamster
and your father smelt of elderberries. Now go away or I shall taunt you a second
time.
Speaking Of
Antifa…
One cannot
help but wonder why Trump and his fellow travelers have so much fear and
loathing for people who are against fascism? Why are you constantly screaming (and lying we
might add) about the horrible anti-fascists, insisting that they are
threatening you? There is but one conclusion that can be drawn about someone
who relentlessly rails against anti-fascists
Gabby Johnson is right.
In those brief moments when Mike Johnson removes his head from Trump’s ass, all he does is lie, deflect, lie and run away.
Mikey Johnson is full of shit.
Oh, and by the
way, it’s called the NO KINGS protest. And it’s not just in D.C. – the place
you ran away from to avoid swearing in the newly elected Arizona congresswoman
Adelita Grijalva, who vows to vote to make the Epstein Files public. There will
be nearly 25,000 NO KINGS rallies everywhere. You little shit.
Petulant #47 has
been raking in tens-of-billions of dollars via various what many people who are
not me are calling extortion gambits. Much of this booty – like $16M from
Paramount/CBS, $22M from Meta/F@$*book, $15M from ABC, and who could forget that
$400B white-elephant-jet the Qataris couldn’t give away, but Trump gladly took
(that will cost us taxpayers over $1B to retrofit for his private use, still
leaving any possible, however unlikely, future president in need of a new Air
Force One).
You can bet your
tired, depressed, soon-to-be-jailed ass that the Donald J. Trump Fake
Presidential Library will be the only construction project involving Trump to
come in well under budget, but not the only one in which the contractors are
left holding the bag. And not the kind of bag that Tom Holman got during the
FBI sting – you know, the one that contained the $50,000 bribe, and that no one
is willing to answer any questions as to the ultimate disposition of said
ill-gotten gain.
On the subject of
presidential libraries, after disgraced, mental patient and two-term president
Richard Nixon attempted to have his Watergate tapes all for himself and/or
eventually destroyed, it became law that all presidential records were the
property of the American people (remember them?).
What’s In Your Wallet
Bathroom?
So naturally, when
Trump suffered his humiliating defeat at the hands of Joe Biden in 2020,
truckloads of those public records somehow – and no one to this day knows how –
ended up strewn all over Mor-On-Lago, including, but not restricted to a
bathroom full of boxes of, for lack of a better word (because there is in fact
no better word) stolen documents. So, there’s that.
It was never
determined which was more mind-bogglingly stupid – the fact that this bathroom
is stuffed with boxes of stolen documents or the fact that this bathroom
includes a fucking chandelier. You make the call.
