Oh, Please!

This is such a minor thing but OH so typical and utterly infuriating. 

The Right Wing Noise/Distraction Machine – in their latest attempt to cover for their lord and master, Prez Pedo’s myriad crimes, blatant incompetence, mind-bending narcissism, and stupidity that would put Larry, Moe, and Curly to shame – are really scraping the bottom of the old barrel. 

What is it? The big carnivalesque hoochie coo they’re performing is all about Jon Ossoff dropping the Crimer in Chief’s Executive Stalker's name into a sentence containing actual serious criticisms which should not be glossed over.

“He golfs and trades stocks. See, he doesn’t want to do the job. He wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie on their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the emir of Qatar.”  (source)

That’s it. That’s his only mention of Natvanka.

Complete Bozos like Megyn (I had a respectable career once!) Kelly, Meaghan (DO YOU KNOW WHO MY FATHER IS) McCain, Eric (the dumb one, not the cokehead) Trump, Steven (deformed conehead) Cheung, etc. have been shrieking SEXISM (???) and accusing Ossoff of implying they’re having an affair.

OH COME ON – as if!!! There can’t be a single sane person on the planet who believes that obviously unwell 80-year-old sack of way too many greasy Big Macs, fries, Diet Cokes, and backed up fecal matter has the functioning hydraulics to get it up anymore. No one thinks an affair is happening and no one's making the implication.

Natvanka is just Pedo’s emotional support blonde and she's clearly emotionally unstable (to put it ever so kindly). All the noise, as usual, is to distract from the the real horrors that Pedo and his crew are up to.

In other news …

Russia’s still murdering people in Ukraine because Putin is a soulless bastard and hasn’t yet run out of bombs.

Israel has expanded it’s genociding to Southern Lebanon but that’s not new news is it? Yesterday, the Israeli army rigged and detonated the reservoir in Mansouri, Lebanon. This was the only freshwater source for the town. BTW, demolishing civilian infrastructure? That's a war crime and an act of genocide. 

I only mention it.

Also, Israel’s far-right national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, is filled with absolute glee as he anticipates using his new “gallows complex." This is where Palestinians who’ve been convicted of terror offenses will be hung. Check out his "gallows cake" at the link. //shudder//

How absolutely medieval of him.

In ICE news, Minnesota is suing Texas to make Governor Abbott extradite an ICEhole (Christian Castro) who shot Julio Sosa-Celis through his front door and then made up a whole fairy tale ass story about why he just HAD to do it. Trump suck-up, white supremacist, immigrant killer and total dickhead Abbott says Castro will be sent north for trial but, waddya know, two months later Castro’s still safely tucked away in Texas. He’s probably being served steaks and martinis while he cools his heels. It’s a little vacay for Christian, eh?

Can we also find out where the government has Jonathan Ross, Jesus Ochoa, Raymundo Gutierrez, and Brian Palacios stashed? Let’s get them charged, extradited, put the fuck on trial.


How about some motherfucking justice for all of us, hmmmmm?

Black people do NOT hang themselves.

More to the point – Black people do not lynch themselves.

The cops would like us to believe differently. Of course. The authorities are ultra quick to dismiss these as suicides.

Look how many come up in a quick internet search. This is hardly comprehensive.

 I realize that the billionaire class needs to keep those of us in the lower echelons fighting amongst ourselves. If we're battling over the color of our neighbor's skin or their religion or who they like to knock boots with or what they have in their underdrawers, then we're too busy to see that these Richie Rich motherfuckers are robbing us blind.

Those mutant moolah maggots want to return the U.S. to a gilded age when slavery was legal, women were the property of their fathers or husbands, before Native Americans were considered U.S. citizens, and it was illegal for us all to vote. You know, back when rich white assholes owned the playing field and made all the rules.

They already have their damn mansions, yachts the size of aircraft carriers, golden monuments to themselves, hot and cold running servants, and blow up doll wives. They also need us dead? Who's gonna shake up their fresh Watenshi gin martinis? They might sprain an eyebrow if they try doing it on their own.

 Rather shortsighted of these twats wouldn't you say?

The Prairieland Nine

Who are the Prairieland Nine? 

They’re a group of nine ICE protesters who were busted at a demonstration on July 4, 2025, outside the ICE Prairieland “Detention Center” in Alvarado, Texas. The demonstrators arrived late at night with a plan to set off fireworks as part of a noise demonstration to show solidarity with those detained inside. A few of the demonstrators went off-script and stupid crazy. Good chance things would have gone wild anyway, given the Texas cops and ICE agents and all.

Governor Abbottoir has since, unsurprisingly, sacrificed the protesters and their constitutional rights on his altar to Trump. Nine of the protesters have been given ridiculous, over the top, theatrical, showpiece sentences.

 Benjamin Song: was sentenced to 100 years
Maricela Rueda: was sentenced to 70 years
Autumn Hill: was sentenced to 50 years
Savanna Batten: was sentenced to 50 years
Zachary Evetts: was sentenced to 50 years
Meagan Morris: was sentenced to 50 years
Elizabeth Soto: was sentenced to 50 years
Ines Soto: was sentenced to 50 years
Daniel Rolando Sanchez-Estrada: was sentenced to 30 years for “conspiracy” and “concealing” left-wing zines. He was not even being at the damn protest!

50 goddamn years is more than double what former Proud Boys chairman Enrique Tarrio and Oath Keepers Founder Stewart Rhodes were sentenced to for their Trump endorsed January 6 insurrection on the Capital. FYI, nine people died directly because of Trump’s treason riot. No one died in or because of Alvarado.

Benjamin Song, who fired the gun at the police officer, was sentenced to 100 years in prison. Song was convicted of attempted murder of an officer of the United States, as well as firearm and explosives charges.
~~~
In a statement, Song said he had fired at the police officer, Lt Thomas Gross, because Gross had his weapon drawn and Song believed he was about to shoot a protester. Gross admitted during trial his weapon was pointed at the back of a person who was fleeing the parking lot.  (source) 

The officer was injured, sent to the hospital, was treated and released a couple hours later.

These sentences are absolute insanity! It’s what I’d expect from a totalitarian dictatorship like North Korea or Russia. I realize this is what micro dicked weasels like Trump and Abbott want though. What these fools don’t seem to understand is that with every obscenely gross authoritarian edict and horror show cruelty they roll out they announce, big and broad, their vast, desperate insecurity – their soft spot. 

Also too:

All defendants who were present at Prairieland the night of July 4, including guilty plea defendants Nathan Baumann and Seth Sikes, will have to “jointly and separately” pay $4,408.95 to the Prairieland Detention Center. (source) 

‘the fuck does that mean – “jointly and separately?” Does that mean that each have to pony up $4,408.95 or they collectively need to come up with that amount. And this is ON TOP of being imprisoned for 30-100 fucking years. How they gonna come up with that kind of dosh if they’re in the joint, hmmmmm?

And this money is for the detention center? Why? Is the poor “detention center” sad? Are the for-profit concentration camp corporations not seeing enough of a filthy windfall from their sadistically minimal investments?  

From Benjamin Song's post-sentencing statement: 

It was the kind of thing I had feared for a long time, after dealing with officers who could be reckless, who could be bullies, who could be violent. But fear is not hate. Sadness is not hate. Wanting people to live is not hate.

So, when I was standing in the street on July 4th, 2025, in plain view with reflective safety strips and high visibility clothing, what I saw right in front of my eyes was my worst nightmare.

When I saw Lieutenant Thomas Gross stop pursuing and point his gun at the back of a running, unarmed protester, like he testified, I was terrified. As a firearms instructor and a United States Marine Corps veteran, I understood what I was seeing. I knew what it meant for someone to lean forward into a gun, like he testified, to prepare for recoil.

As the evidence shows, I did not want to hurt anyone. I never had the intent to hurt anyone. I tried my best to avoid hurting anyone. It is impossible to say that I was trying to ambush anyone or planning any violence. I was shocked, and surprised, and saddened. I am so grateful for what didn’t happen. I am so grateful that we are not here mourning another death and tragedy. Another Alex Pretti. Another Renee Good. Another Botham Jean. Another Manuel Teran. Another Atatiana Jefferson. Another Philando Castile.

Now, 22 people have been arrested, have been persecuted, have been tortured, for what?

For nothing.

None of these people really did anything.

And none of these people have anything to do with what happened with me.

This is wrong. This is mass punishment. This is collective punishment. This is guilt by association. This is injustice.

Song is a hero. He prevented that cop from shooting an unarmed protester, who was fleeing, IN THE BACK! Song stopped a murder. Thomas Gross would have joined the ranks of Jonathan Ross, Jesus Ochoa, Raymundo Gutierrez, David Brouillette, and more. Those dudes will never, ever live down the fact that they murdered innocents. Old Tommy boy wanted to murder that innocent protester. Song stopped Gross without killing him OR causing more than a minor inconvenience of a wound.

Where are the Prairieland Nine now? In prison, waiting on appeals.

Distraction Theater

Christopher Weyant

Who needs who more?

Trump wanted to play big dictator tough guy with Iran — outdo Obama’s deal in a big, thunder and brimstone show of he-man bombing. He's bombing alright.

It’s testosterone theater – overcompensation for his obvious, massive insecurities. Also a distraction from all things Epstein, those pesky ICE murderers, bombing Venezuelan fishermen, financial crimes, and other assorted failures, felonies, and idiocies.

Bibi needed U.S. money, bombs, and rep in order to go after the folks he wanted to attack anyway. Why hit Iran (besides the fact that he’s never met a mass murder he didn’t fall in love with immediately)? Maybe to distract from his ongoing corruption trials and the ICC's arrest warrant for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Plus there’s an election coming in October. Old Beeb’s popularity, like Prez Pedo’s, is on the wane. Netanyahu is still a hit with Israel’s version of MAGA, nationalist religious factions, and general right-wingers though.

Brandan Reynolds

Like Prez Fuckface, Beebs needs a boost. Pathetically (hilariously?), he thinks visiting the U.S., being seen with the world’s biggest no-talent chiseling fuck-up is gonna give him some shine. WOW! That’s some serious clue-free delusion, mes amis.

On top of that:

“Netanyahu arrives in Washington at a time when even many around [Trump] are suspicious of him. He has become toxic in the US,” Ahron Bregman, an Israeli security analyst and senior teaching fellow in the Department for War Studies at King’s College London. “He is regarded in the US – rightly or wrongly – as the one who dragged Trump into a war of choice that has turned into a strategic catastrophe. Nobody, not even Trump, will let him pretend to be the cleverest guy in the room. Those days are gone.” (source) 

Bibi’s not popular in the U.S. and Trump’s not popular in the world at large. These two are grade A toxic twins.

Did you read that Trump and his greasy, deeply twisted War Crimes Secretary dropped more bombs on Iran last night? They killed six people including three civilians – a couple and their two-year-old kid. Still proud to be an American? Rah, rah, rah?

Bill Bramhall

Meanwhile, here in the Disunited Kakistocratic Plutocracy of America, Republican’s war on Black voters in the south doesn’t appear to be going quite as smoothly as they’d expected. Perhaps, when Trump’s pet Supreme Court torpedoed the Voting Rights Act, they actually shot him and his party of shortsighted, bigoted imbeciles in the foot?

A new analysis of Black voters in the south indicates that Republican attempts to dilute their political power is driving them to the polls in larger numbers and shifting their counties further left.
~~~
The analysis by VoteHub, a data-focused election organization, indicates that the efforts have only motivated Black voters in the 78 Black belt counties it tracked. All but one shifted left in partisan turnout compared with 2024. Further, majority-Black counties that voted after Louisiana v Callais, the landmark supreme court decision that triggered the Republican-led redistricting efforts, had a surge in voter participation. 
~~~
In nearby Louisiana, Black voters made up 35.7% of the primary electorate, despite making up only 32.1% of the population. The state experienced increased voter turnout across partisan groups and race, but 30.9% of Black voters cast ballots in the primary election – 3.2 points more than white voters. (source) 

A return to Jim Crow is NOT a lock!

Here’s something really great though – I had THE most amazing sandwich last night. It was a Tomato Caprese – fresh mozzarella, vine ripe tomato, pesto, roasted peppers, basil and olive oil on marble rye. OH MY FUCKING GOD! 

Astoundingly I was able to control myself and only ate half. I’ll have the other half for breakfast this morning.

Some days all it takes is the small things – like a brilliant sandwich –  to get me charged up and ready to face the day’s battles. 

ICE and the City

ICE lies. DUH! They’re about as credible as Pedo or Story-teller Vance – that is, not at all.

ICEholes dragged Chidozie Wilson Okeke out of his car in Brooklyn. Supposedly he had "previous arrests for assault and criminal drug possession.” They say he overstayed his visa. Could any of this be true? There may be some thread of truth in there but I strongly suspect it’s been heavily embellished.

"During his arrest, Okeke refused to comply with officers' lawful commands to exit the vehicle and weaponized his vehicle to attempt to hit ICE officers. Okeke became physically combative, attempting to punch and elbow ICE officers. Our officers followed their training and used the minimum amount of force necessary to make the arrest," the ICE spokesperson said, adding that Okeke requested medical assistance. (source) 

Do Republicans all go to the same school to learn how to lie – how to warp reality like your favorite record album left in the back seat of the car on an August afternoon?

Is this like when Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin claimed that “this individual (Renee Good) was impeding law enforcement and weaponized her vehicle in an attempt to kill or cause bodily harm to federal law enforcement.” You know, this is the same Ms. Good who was shot three times by ICEhole Jonathan Ross as she was pulling away from him – remember? Ms. McLaughlin also hilariously claims that ICEholes are trained to use minimal force to resolve dangerous situations. Sure and I’m a Balanchine trained principal dancer with the American Ballet Theatre. Absolutely. 🙄

And the Lord of Lies said that Good “ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self-defense.” NOTHING they say can be believed.

Back to Brooklyn though…

Somehow Okeke was injured while being abducted by ICE (I know, you’re shocked 🙄), so much so that they actually took him to an emergency room instead of just toting him off to some holding cell before zooming him off to some Southern state concentration camp. 

A protest quickly formed outside the Wyckoff Heights Medical Center and the NYPD were called (undoubtedly by ICE.)

“Upon arrival, officers observed numerous individuals acting in a disorderly manner, obstructing vehicular traffic, and blocking emergency entrances and exits at Wyckoff Heights medical center,” the police said. 
   ~~~
The NYPD said it was not involved in the federal immigration operation and only responded to the scene after receiving 911 calls about the crowd, saying they received initial reports that there were about 200 protesters. (source)  

Did the NYPD help ICE? They say they weren’t assisting BUT this is the NYPD. I mean, C’MON, the NYC boys in blue don’t exactly have a stellar rep especially if you happen to be Black.

Mayor Mamdani said the NYPD did not coordinate with ICE.

Our laws leave nothing, no room for interpretation, about the fact that our NYPD will not participate in civil immigration enforcement, and I’ve also been very clear about my views on ICE raids as a whole. I think that they are cruel, I think that they are inhumane and I think that they do not serve any interests of public safety. (source) 

So, were the NYPD just doing a crowd-control type operation and NOT violating the city’s sanctuary laws? LOVE Mamdani but I have serious doubts about what the NYPD were up to. 

I am in support of abolishing ICE, and I'll tell you why: Because what we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist

We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some sort of immigration law, but instead, what it is doing is terrorizing people no matter their immigration status, no matter the facts of the law, and no matter the facts of the case.

And I'm tired of waking up every day and seeing a new image of someone being dragged out of a car, dragged out of their home and dragged out of their life. What we need to see is humanity. (source) 

Mr. Mayor, I wholeheartedly agree!

Justice

Lawfare
     noun
the strategic use of legal proceedings to intimidate or hinder an opponent (origin: law + warfare)

Trump’s right-wing toadies were afraid that the Dems would engage in lawfare to stop them from genociding, pedophiling, and building useless, redundant ballrooms at taxpayer’s expense.

This is totally Pedo’s shtick – tie everything up in court. It’s a legal shell game. He may (and often does) eventually lose BUT, in the meantime, he puts off reality AND drains the resources of his opponents. 

“Trump is running the government like a mafioso,” David Corn, the Washington bureau chief for Mother Jones, wrote last month, “utilizing its power to intimidate and, if possible, take out his perceived enemies.” He added that Attorney General Pam Bondi “has been delighted to serve as both Trump’s consigliere and lawfare hitman.”  (source) 

Why does “lawfare” come to my mind today? Apparently Netanyahu has said that he wants the International Criminal Court shut down immediately, (insert dramatic foot stomp here) citing alleged corruption within the court. Is this rich or what?

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slams the International Criminal Court, calling it a “corrupt and morally bankrupt institution” that “should be closed,” amid renewed controversy surrounding the court’s prosecutor.

In a post on X, Netanyahu says the ICC has acted as a “lawfare platform used by rogue regimes,” insisting that the case against Israel over its war against Hamas was baseless from the outset. (source) 

Being held accountable for your crimes against humanity is a little uncomfortable, isn’t it Bibi?

Putin can’t enter those same 125 countries  without the distinct risk of being arrested and extradited to The Hague to stand trial for war crimes. The countries include Germany, France, Italy, Poland, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal, Japan, Australia, and South Korea.

How long before Pedo’s on that list? Earlier this month when he blustered and raged about destroying Iran’s infrastructure, Luis Moreno Ocampo, the founding chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, said that ShitzinPants threats could constitute war crimes. Looks like it won’t be long.

And now some responses to the latest faux assassination attempt from frustrated folks on Threads:

Kennedy was shot in a moving car...these attempts are 100% staged. 

     I couldn’t agree more.

Why is it, we can hit running school children but not an 80 year old who’s shaped like a traffic cone.

His would-be assassins are as talented as his cabinet picks.

     Which can easily be explained by A) this being staged and B) the “assassin” was hired by him or one of his renfields.

This is a very slow, barely moving target. We all witnessed that he can’t quickly get up from a chair and walk a few steps without falling. Also, America has more guns than people – how do they keep missing him?

I suppose he's easy to miss if you're getting paid to miss

I hear elephants are good with billionaires.

The bigger issue here is why aren’t those McDonald’s burgers and Diet Cokes doing their job yet on this 300lb 80-year-old demented man? C’mon, can his next burger or soda take it over the finish line already?

Broke-Ass Nation

The "stable genius" businessman (AKA mob boss) who drove SIX casinos into bankruptcy has now piloted the wealthiest nation on the planet into insolvency. No…really. That’s the word from the Treasury Department’s own financial statement, released just last week. Unsurprisingly, Pedo’s lapdog media (*ahem* Fox, Bezo’s Washington Post, CBS, etc.) have been quiet about this. You're just so shocked, aren't you? 🙄

Gee, maybe if Republicans hadn’t given millionaires and billionaires all those obscene tax cuts, maybe if corporations paid their fucking taxes, maybe if the pedophile who would be king and his gang of rapacious greedheads weren’t stripping this country for parts, MAYBE if dry drunk, warmongering christofacist Kegbreath and now unemployed ICE Barbie didn’t have unlimited budgets to wage unregulated, wholly illegal, monstrous war at home and abroad, the US wouldn’t now be fucking broke. Ya know?!

ICE, now under Mr. Posturing-Chickenshit-Dumbass-Two-First-Names Mullin (who is quite possibly even more dimwitted than ICE Barbie), is financially incentivized to let people die in custody. Did you know? Each concentration camp gets a flat rate for medical care. Every skipped exam, every denied prescription and operation is money they get to keep. The ACLU found that 95% of deaths in ICE detention were preventable if medical care had been provided. 43 people have died in the last 15 months. But, HEY, profits are up 700%! 

The Pedo administration has been sending all unaccompanied pregnant minors, apprehended by immigration coppers, to a single group shelter in Texas. You know, Texas? The state known for its officials who enjoy watching asylum seekers drown in concertina mined waters. The state motto is “We’re proudly sadistic and inhumane.” 

Some of the girls are as young as 13 and many were raped on their journey to the US. Abortion is illegal in Texas. Of course it is – women are second class citizens in Texas. The children have been through traumatic experiences and NOW they’re locked up in a jail, pregnant due to rape, and getting little to NO care. This is insanely barbaric.

“Per the direction of Chief of Staff, Matt O’Neill Levine, as of [July 22, 2025] we should be placing any pregnant children into the San Benito program moving forward,” reads an email sent by Department of Health and Human Services Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) Acting Director Angie Salazar, which was obtained by the Texas Tribune. According to seven ORR sources who also spoke to the outlet—and remained anonymous out of fear of retribution—various ORR staff members are also worried that the shelter is only “one-high risk pregnancy away from catastrophe.” At the time of writing, several of the girls who have been detained have given birth, and are imprisoned with their infants. 

“These girls are experiencing high-risk pregnancies and are some of the most medically vulnerable people in detention,” Zain Lakhani, the director of migrant rights and justice at the Women’s Refugee Commission, told Jezebel. “Placing them in a facility that federal officials themselves say lacks necessary specialized care puts their lives and the lives of their babies at risk.” (source) 

Yup, this is that self proclaimed all-Jesus-all-the-time, “pro-life” (as long as that life is white, wealthy, and male), profits-before-people, Guardians Of Pedophiles party – the Republicans.

For anyone saying “this isn’t who we are” or “this isn’t the America I grew up in,” I say, WAKE UP AND READ SOME HISTORY!

Fer fuck’s sake, this country’s insanity is baked in with the genocide of the original people of this land we now occupy. Read Dee Brown’s Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee. Read about the Trail of Tears.

Slavery – shit didn’t end when ol’ Abe signed the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863. Fuck no. It’s 2026 and Black people are still being lynched. 

Read about the Japanese Americans put in concentration camps here in America during WWII. Their crime? Being Japanese.

I could go on and on. I’ll stop here before I give myself an even larger headache.  Also, I think I need a cookie and a cup of tea now.

I Need an Attack Grizzly Bear

I know the comparison has been made before but, Bezos’ new wife looks like some untalented waxworks tech tried to create a female version of Stephen Tyler but got blind drunk on Mad Dog 2020 first. The wax “artist” ended up with a twisted anime/Aerosmith porn mashup. OOPS!

By the by, Tyler is 77 and, for all his sins, still looks good. Sanchez is 55. They appear to be close to the same age. I don't think her Mar-a-Lago look is gonna age well. Call it a hunch.

I may be thinking about this too much. I blame the weather. I’ve been stuck inside for too long. Plus, I need to raid Trader Joe’s snack aisle. Seriously. I’m way overdue for a Trader Joe’s run.

“Border Czar” and 50 grand bribe taker Tom Homan, AKA Ham Face Homan, says Border Patrol agents are “living in fear.”

Good. They should be.

Oh, I was I supposed to feel some level of sympathy for sadistic, savage, raging fuckos who get their jollies by executing fellow humans for NO fucking reason? I guess I missed that memo. 

This dumb fuck who looks like Fred Flintstone and Homer Simpson’s love child is all hotand bothered to play big, tough WAR GUY in charge. That act was laughable on that teacup, cosplay nazi Bovino and it’s equally so on Ham Face. I’m sure Teacup and Noem can recommend tailors so Ham can get just the right outfit for his, assuredly, brief stage time.

The Guardian has a brilliant review up of Bezos’s gift to Prez Pedo. Here’s a snippet: 

No doubt there is a great documentary to be made about Melania Knauss, the ambitious model from out of Slovenia who married a New York real-estate mogul and then found herself cast in the role of a latter-day Eva Braun, but the horrific Melania emphatically isn’t it. It’s one of those rare, unicorn films that doesn’t have a single redeeming quality. I’m not even sure it qualifies as a documentary, exactly, so much as an elaborate piece of designer taxidermy, horribly overpriced and ice-cold to the touch and proffered like a medieval tribute to placate the greedy king on his throne.

The reviewer starts out trying to be generously kind but it's unsustainable. Of course. Really, you MUST read the whole piece. There’s no paywall and the writer is a Michelangelo of takedown.

Someone on threads gave a short movie review:
…like the Real Housewives without the depth or wit. 

Having seen neither, I’m unequipped to judge. Oh well.

Another person said that they can’t believe Trump had to release the Epstein files to cover up the bomb of Melania. OOF!

The, now wholly inaptly named, Justice Department released a total of 3 million pages of files on Epstein and Trump’s horrifically sick, vile acts of sadistic depravity on the movie’s American opening day. 

Honestly, the files are far worse than what I’d anticipated and I’ve only seen bits and pieces so far. I mean, this is sick, serial killer level shit. The only difference is that Epstein, Trump, and the rest of these barbarians are wealthy – obscenely so. 

Walt Handelsman

A brief thought on one bit:

The part about Epstein, on stage in front of an audience, checking the captive, trafficked children’s vaginal tightness with his fingers? Then Trump auctioned off the 13-year-old children to men in the audience? Elon Musk was in attendance. Beavis, Butthead, and Ivanka Trump were there too.

Christ almighty. These people, all of them, deserve to be not-at-all-carefully disassembled by a hacksaw wielding 13-year-old who’s feeling just a wee bit cranky. No, there will be no anesthesia or sedatives for these most disgusting, evil pervs. Maybe the early adolescent with the very sharp, spiky hand tool will have a nice eight foot tall, 700 pound, growly grizzly bear behind them. You know, just in case any of the malefactors have an urge to bolt.

The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.

Definitely the evildoers will make and have made a big-ass dent in humanity's demise. It's up to us to stop them. Do something. Resist and fight in whatever way you're able. FIGHT!

National Shutdown January 30th

Alex Pretti, Renee Good, Silverio Villegas González, and Keith Porter Jr.  have all been murdered by the Trump/Miller/Noem/Homan Goon Squads. They’re not the only ones – just the most most recent – the ones getting the most press. Why all the press? Probably because we have obvious, irrefutable video of Renee Good and Alex Pretti being murdered. All of the administration’s lies can’t change what we’ve seen with our own eyes. 

What is a general strike? It's a mass coordinated work stoppage. ALL possible economic activity comes to a halt.  Schools, shops, theaters, museums, manufacturing, etc. are shut down. Labor is withheld.

What should stay open/remain operational during a national shutdown? Critical, life-sustaining services like hospitals, emergency medical services, basic water and electricity maintenance.

The purpose of the shutdown is to exert max pressure on Prez Pedo to cut the shit with his and VP Stephen Miller’s out of control, rabid, private army. You know, the ones tasked with the ethnic and political cleansing of America. The strike is also a call to Congress to wake the fuck up and cut the funding that supports ICE. 

Will a one day general strike/national shutdown make everything all better here in the U.S.? No but I bet it’ll achieve at least SOME of the goals. Which are:

• Immediate Withdrawal of ICE/CBP from Minnesota
• Accountability for Murders and Deaths (both outside and in the concentration camps) 
• National Action – Defunding of ICE/CBP
• Economic Disruption (demonstrating the collective power of workers and consumers to force changes in the political and economic order)

I want Jonathan Ross charged with the murder of Renee Good. I want his fellow ICEholes who stood there letting this happen and keeping a medic from attending to her, on trial as accomplices to first degree murder. I want their names.

I want the names of the maniacal fucks who fired into Alex Pretti’s body as he lay subdued on the ground. I want the names of the ICEholes who did nothing to stop the murder. They should all be suffering in the most disgusting prison for the rest of their lives.

I want ICE completely abolished.

Social strikes have been used effectively in other, smaller countries like the Philippines, Chile, South Korea, Serbia, Madagascar, Nepal, Poland, Haiti, South Africa. One key factor is that the strikes made it impossible for the regimes to function.

While strikes for specifically political purposes like deposing political leaders or affecting legislation are common in other countries — as illustrated by many of the non-U.S. examples mentioned above — they are a rarity in the U.S. An exception was the 23-day strike by 42,000 West Virginia coal miners in 1969 that forced the state legislature to pass a law providing compensation for victims of black lung disease.

The only national general strike in our country’s history was organized by the labor movement to support a decades-long campaign for the eight-hour workday. This was May 1, 1886. A third of a million workers walked off their jobs – considering the U.S. population at the time was around 55 million, that’s a LOT. The biggest demonstrations were in Chicago – they went on for days.

The family resemblance is striking, no?

But a rally protesting police murders of strikers was interrupted by a bomb, followed by brutal repression. Assaults by the authorities on civil liberties, especially harsh for immigrant workers, included death by hanging of several labor leaders in a transparent miscarriage of justice, an episode now known as the Haymarket affair. This “red scare” set back the eight-hour movement for decades, but also resulted in May 1 being declared International Workers’ Day by the Socialist International to honor the eight-hour martyrs. (source) 

Is the U.S. just too big, too ideologically diverse, pigheaded, and economically fucked up for a sustained (multi day/month) general strike to work? I think the fact that many of us are living paycheck to paycheck and healthcare being so obscenely expensive (to the point of often making it unaffordable to remain alive in America) makes extended strikes impossible for many.

What to do? Boycott, vote, stay informed on local, state, and national issues, be a nagging pain in the ass to your elected officials, if you still have MAGAt friends and family – confront them with reality, the truth. Don't be a bystander. Don’t give up.

Finding Out

 As of yesterday. 86.42% of Democratic congresscritters have signed on to a resolution to impeach Killer Kristi Noem. Even Chuckie sternly-worded-letter Schumer and Quisling Fetterman have come out, big and bold, that the puppy killer needs to be taken to the gravel pit.

It’s gonna happen but it’s not enough. This entire regime needs to be put down. Goebbels Miller, Prez Pedo, VP Name of the Week, the Heritage Foundation – all of these lying-ass motherfuckers need to be sent to a farm upstate where they can live happily ever after with all their other fascist friends.

Did you see? The ICEhole brigade in Minnesota are now using LRAD (long range acoustic device) weapons, at close range, against peaceful protesters. Also known as “sound cannons,” these make extremely loud, high-frequency sound and are specifically intended for the scattering crowds. Close exposure (within 20 meters/65 feet) can cause permanent hearing loss due to nerve damage, tinnitus, damage to eardrums, migraines, intense sinus pressure, and nausea. LRADs are dangerous even for deafies like me.

You do know that Stephen Miller’s ICEholes are also using LRADs because the pain and permanent disability they cause make ICEhole’s nearly nonexistent, useless peens stiff. That and pics of the First Porn Model of the US are probably the only things that'll inspire a rise in 'em.

In the 2016 court case, Edrei v. Bratton the NYPD settled a lawsuit regarding the 2014 use of LRADs on protesters. This resulted in strict limitations on "sound cannon" use. 

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit ruled that purposely using LRAD in a manner capable of causing serious injury to non-violent protesters is a violation of the U.S. Constitution’s Fourteenth Amendment prohibition against excessive force. In June 2018, the court ruled that the device was an instrument of force designed for “incapacitating and painful effects” and that “the problem posed by protesters in the street did not justify the use of force, much less force capable of causing serious injury, such as hearing loss.” (source) 

So, HOW is it legal for ICEholes in Minnesota to be using LRADs? Guess what – it’s not. This dumbfuckian administration doesn’t give a shit. They think they’re all as Find-Out free as Dear Leader. NO. 

Did you know, there’s a town in Eastern Pennsylvania named Nuremberg. The population, as of a 2010 census, was just 434. I wonder if the place still exists. Seems like it’d be a perfect setting for this century’s tribunals to prosecute the prominent AND lower level perps of crimes against humanity. Everyone from King Pedo down to the lowliest ICEhole needs to be held accountable for the atrocities that have been committed.

If all Confederate leaders had been held to justice after the Civil War; had Nixon not been pardoned; if the army had suffered consequences for massacring the Southern Cheyenne and Arapahoe at Sand Creek and the Lakota at Wounded Knee; had William Calley not gotten away with the My Lai massacre maybe, MAYBE we wouldn’t be in the deep-ass mess we’re in today. Maybe motherfuckers would've learned that there are consequences.

Meanwhile, Governor Walz has made it clear to Prez Pedo’s personal lawyer Attorney General, Bleach Bondi, that Minnesota doesn’t negotiate with terrorists. In response to her extortionist demands for the state’s unredacted voter rolls, Medicaid and Food and Nutrition Service program data, and repealing sanctuary policies, Walz said, amongst other things: 

“There’s two million documents in the Epstein files we’re still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those.” 

Minnesota doesn’t negotiate with terrorists and dictators. Be like Minnesota.

Orcas

Our friends, the orcas, are at it again.

A sailing yacht has sunk in Moroccan waters in the Strait of Gibraltar after being rammed by an unknown number of orcas, Spain's maritime rescue services said.
~~~
One of the main theories that has circulated social media is that the orcas are seeking revenge for White Gladis - a killer whale supposedly hit by a boat.

That caught on when Alfredo López Fernandez, from research group GTOA, was quoted as saying a "traumatised orca" had launched the attacks. (source)

Please note, our activist killer whale buds aren’t going after simple, working fishing boats. Nope, they’re targeting wealthy, asshole, luxury yacht owners. These are social justice cetaceans and I applaud the fine work they’re doing.

Back in November of 2023, some “bright” folk decided they’d get the whaley boys and girls to leave them alone by blasting heavy metal. That’s not my favorite musical genre and, apparently, the orcas weren’t especially keen on it either. While I would have just left the musically offensive area in a snit, our apex predator pals decided to be a bit more direct about their understandable annoyance. I applaud their head-on combative approach.

I’m on Team White Gladis.

In other news, Von ShitzInPantz’s former fixer has taken the stand

Cohen has already directly implicated Trump in making payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels to cover-up their alleged affair and apparently corroborated prosecution evidence that the scheme was meant to influence the 2016 election. (Trump has denied an affair and pleaded not guilty). 

The task of the defense in cross-examination was, therefore, to so undermine Cohen’s credibility that they sowed reasonable doubt in the minds of at least one juror about the wider case. (source)

Maybe this is a quibble BUT:

Affair
     noun
a usually secretive or illicit sexual relationship

“Affair” implies, to me anyway, an ongoing sexual and/or romantic connection. While Daniels met with Anusface von MushroomPeen a few times (to discuss his offer of having her appear on his little teevee game show), they did NOT have an affair. In their one time alone together, the orange turd stood in the way of the exit, coercing her to give up the pink.

It seems Von ShitzInPantz’s former fixer is quite the wordsmith. Cohen has described the flatulent fraud as a “boorish cartoon misogynist” as well as a “Cheeto-dusted cartoon villain.”

Nicely done, sir, spot on.
