Civics

America has three branches of government. 

They are:

1. Billionaires
2. Pedophiles
3. Corporations

Oh wait, my mistake. That’s just a single branch AND it's the whole of the party that's in charge right now – the GOP. So...uhhh, nevermind.

Question – now that Epstein’s dead and Trump’s too closely watched to get away with all his old raping, torturing, and what-have-you, who's running the pedophile show? I mean, you know someone is.

Is this the real reason Elon stepped away from DOGE and the political spotlight – he wanted to be in charge of the pedo parties? How about Epstein’s great friend and financial advisee Peter Thiel? Maybe Zuckerberg?

“Just to clarify, is the public going to learn the identities of the men who abused the girls with the information you’re releasing?” a reporter asked Blanche at a Friday press conference. “And if not, why not?” 

“I mean, you just baked in an assumption into your question that I have never said, and I don’t know to be true,” (Deputy Attorney General) Blanche replied. “Is the public going to learn about men that abused these girls? What does that mean? I don’t understand what it means.”
…
“I don’t think that the public [is going to] uncover men within the Epstein files that abused women,” he (Blanche) concluded.  (source) 

Transparency and accountability aren’t on the menu but you knew that already.

I’m sure you’ve heard/seen by now, Prez Urinal Cake posted an insanely racist vid about the Obamas the other night. When asked about it, KKKaroline Lievitt said : “This is from an internet meme video depicting President Trump as the King of the Jungle and Democrats as characters from The Lion King. Please stop the fake outrage and report on something today that actually matters to the American public.”

???And this makes it somehow less outrageously, insanely racist, ridiculously puerile, and disgusting??? KKKaroline is SUCH a pile of loose weasel stools.

Next, the White House claimed an unnamed staffer posted it, mistakenly, for him. This “unnamed staffer” just so happened to be hanging around with Pedo while he’s surfing the web for glowing news of himself and shitposting on his failed Truth Toilet app at zero dark 30? Is this unnamed staffer's name John Barron by any chance?

Nope, not buying it. White House staff is still fucking that same chicken today but with the added spice of Pedo saying he hadn’t seen the part of the vid where the Obamas are portrayed as apes. Sure dude. The clip is 62 seconds long – he saw it. His staff saw it. He decided to fly with it anyway because it’d be an attention getting distraction from the Trump/Epstein Files, if only for one news cycle.

The other thing that’s so incredibly sad, pathetic and despicable about all this is Trump’s overwhelming, long-term obsession with Obama. He just can’t accept that Obama is everything that Trump never could, never has, and never will be. Ever. 

AND there’s absolutely nothing Pedo can do to diminish Obama’s achievements or the huge respect, admiration, and deep affection he and his wife inspire. 

That’s just eating the old orange failure alive. I’m loving this.

Jesse Duquette

Observing Pedo from a stoic perspective, I’m trying to put my finger on just the right word to describe him. That he’s overwhelmed by envy for a man he’s clearly inferior to in every way is clear. Also, six years on, he still can’t let go of the fact that he lost the 2020 election (to Biden NOT Obama). Why is that? That he keeps hammering on it, bringing up his failure, amplifying it is weird and sad.

The English language failed me so I turned to German.

Do I feel fremdschämen – secondhand embarrassment – for Pedo? Do I feel embarrassed for him? Yes and no. Not exactly. No. Ich habe nicht fremdschämt. 

Jämmerlich is used to describe a sad state, a poor excuse, pitiful, wretched, miserable, or failing terribly.

Der orange Arschloch war in einem jämmerlichen Zustand.
The orange asshole was in a wretched/failed state. I'm observing his condition and it is indeed bleak, ominous, sad, and downright pathetic. 

It is and he deserves it and so much worse.

Exhaustion

You know, we’re only 37 measly days into this new year. It seems like motherfucking eons. 

This week we found out that a global web of pedophile billionaires is running the world. They are NOT in fact doing this out of a basementless pizza shop in D.C. Just FYI.

Just two weeks ago we watched masked paramilitary goons murder an innocent man, Alex Jeffrey Pretti, in broad daylight on a crowded city street. Though there were half a dozen in the gang of ICEholes, only the two Latinos, Raymundo Gutierrez and Jesus Ochoa, have been named. I wonder why, of the group, only these two are being thrown under the bus. Hmmmm, that's puzzler, in'nt?

On the same day as his murder, Prez Pedo’s personal fixer and Attorney General attempted to extort Minnesotas’s governor – turn over your citizen’s voter registration records and welfare recipient info…maybe we’ll make ICE go away.

It’s only been one month since Jonathan Ross murdered Renee Good.

It was New Years Eve when Keith Porter Jr. was murdered by Brian Palacios, an off duty ICEhole.

None of these butchers have been arrested or charged.

Don Lemon and other journalists have been arrested for reporting on what Trump's violent goon squad is doing. So much for the First Amendment, eh?

On the international level:

We’ve already covered Pedo’s January third attack on Venezuela. I guess he got bored with that though. The old asshole has a pretty short attention span. 

Just a couple weeks ago we were on the verge of WWIII because he had a hard on for Greenland. Pedo backed down after someone fancy footworked him into believing that agreements which already existed are brand new. Added plus – vague promises of future meetings about “golden domes!” Donny does love gold.

There’s Pedo’s Board of War Criminals (AKA “Board of Peace”) which is no more than a global slush fund.

The SALT Treaty expired expired yesterday.

The last remaining nuclear arms pact between Russia and the United States is set to expire Thursday, removing any caps on the two largest atomic arsenals for the first time in more than a half-century.

The termination of the New START Treaty would set the stage for what many fear could be an unconstrained nuclear arms race. 

Russian President Vladimir Putin declared readiness to stick to the treaty's limits for another year if Washington follows suit, but President Donald Trump has been noncommittal about extending it. (source) 

So, the testerical, perpetually tantruming toddler is going to …what … hold his breath until he turns blue and then nuke the planet if Putin and Xi Jinping don’t bow down, make Dim Donny the king of the universe? 

AND, no surprise here, the US left the World Health Organization (WHO). We left an unpaid tab too. As of today, California, Illinois, and New York City have joined and are part of WHO’s Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN) WHY is Massachusetts not on this list? C’mon Governor Healey, step up!

Sheesh, OF COURSE I’m having a hard time getting up, showered, on the elliptical, and just generally shifting into gear. I’ve got laundry to fold, two years of overdo taxes to work on, MRI schedules to sort out, and a thrice canceled dental surgery on Monday but I’m having one hell of a time facing it all.

I just want to sit in my blanket fort eating dark chocolate truffles while reading my book about a team of stylish, elderly female assassins. I don’t think this is a big ask.

WHY NOT?!

Woke up. Picked up the phone. Opened The Guardian app.

GODDAMMIT, he’s not dead not dead yet!

Ya know, I ask for so little.

Not that the alternative is anything to write home about. The best that can be said is that, possibly, his hygiene is better.

How about this? Could VP Name-of-the-Week just shut the fuck up forever? Every time he opens his mouth he says something out of touch, off putting, and more or less wackaloon.

Commenting on Prez Pedo’s bullshit, sexist, insulting, unhinged ranting, dodge from a reporter’s question about the Epstein survivors Vance had this to say:

“She’s asking a question, the president says, ‘Why don’t you ever smile?’ Yeah, it’s actually, like, so perceptive,”

 …“Even if you’re asking a tough question, even if you take your job very seriously, like, does it always have to be so antagonistic?”

“Have some fun, right? You can’t always take yourself too seriously.” (source) 

Right. Because IF Collins had plastered a smile on her face when she asked our child raping president about the survivors of his and his bestie Jeff’s parties, Pedo TOTALLY would have replied in a calm, measured, truthful manner. Sure. Oh and a smile when asking about something so horrific is, like, TOTALLY appropriate.

THE COUNTRY IS COMPLETELY ENGULFED IN CORROSIVE ACIDIC FIRE AND YOU THINK THE REPORTER SHOULD SMILE MORE?!!! 

Of course the most socially incompetent VP of all time would make such an incredible stupid and maladroit statement. This was his bungling, ham-handed attempt at gaslighting, at diverting the public from the the actual point. Which was? That Trump and his buddy Jeff, at the VERY least, trafficked, kept, raped, and horrifically abused young girls and they did so for YEARS.

JD the man who tried to paint all Democrats as “a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they've made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too.” 

He’s suggested that Americans without rugrats should pay higher taxes. Also, the votes cast by people with children should count more than those of us who, for whatever reason, have not spawned.

Regarding children, he’s also said “I think we have to go to war against the anti-child ideology that exists in our country.” ‘Scuse me – there’s an anti-child ideology? Huh. Where? Can you show me where it is on a map? Is it in the room with us now? That boy sure does love to make shit up.

Vance downplayed the Hitler fanboy and girling of the Young Republicans and their jokes about gas chambers, slavery, and rape by calling concerns “pearl clutching” and then changing the subject. Pardon me, I gotta go find a pearl to clutch.

AND who can forget his proud fairy tale about the Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio devouring all the good white residents cats and dogs! 

In trying to slam Biden’s economy and Harris’ campaign, JD seriously claimed his two sons "actually eat about 14 eggs every single morning.” When called out on his fabulating, the couch fornicator got all defensive and claimed it was “lighthearted hyperbole.” Sure dude.

This guy’s such a social train wreck, he can’t even order a fucking doughnut! 

These are just a few of his domestic blunders. He’s happily met with the far right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. There was that awful, disgusting White House “meeting” where Pedo and he thought they could get away with yelling at and attempting to humiliate a real hero – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The Greenland trip where it was made clear that he was MOST def unwelcome.

The man has the charisma and social skills of a 13-year-old who's been raised on Married with Children and believes this is how real people are supposed to behave. He watched the 1984 Terminator and clocked Schwarzenegger as the hero. Dude sees Pinocchio as a bastion of truth and integrity. Vance is NOT someone with a functioning moral compass.

When Pedo croaks the war continues. We just get a new lying asshole in charge. 

Good News

Police in Texas, of all places, arrested an actual bad guy despite the fact that he’s a white, right wing asshole. I KNOW, I’m shocked too! 

The Buda Police Department arrested Chad Michael Watts, 45, of Kyle, Texas, after an incident that occurred during a student walkout protest at Moe and Gene Johnson High School. (source) 

The students were having a demonstration against ICE when this grown ass, fecal brained, rotted rutabaga pulls up in his pickup truck, blocks traffic, gets out, walks over to the students and starts yelling at one of the girls. This “adult” is 45 and he’s yelling at, bullying a teenage girl who is exercising her First Amendment rights. THEN he assaults her. Big fucking loser bastard starts beating on her. It does NOT turn out well for the mini-dicked wonder.

All the rest of the ICEhole protesting teen girls (mostly girls) defended their friend and gave old Chad a fine beat down. (a satisfying but kind of confusing vid of the battle here) 

Anyway, I wonder how Chad Michael Watts feels, at his big, old age of 45. Ya know, he's now known around the world as a giant, pathetic loser. I mean, the vid's ALL over the internet! He’s gonna need to move, change his name, maybe get some plastic surgery if he ever wants to shake this massive humiliation.

GOOD!

In other karmic beat downs…Europe is doing to Elon Epstein MusKKK what the U.S should have done eons ago.

Seems his social media sites have been, unsurprisingly, spreading antisemitic bullshit and have also been involved in creating and distributing child pornography, sexual images of people without their consent, and the glorification of crimes against humanity.

“The investigations are based on the non-compliance with French legislation by Grok for generating and disseminating child pornography, sexual deepfakes or antisemitic contents,” the Paris prosecutor’s office said. (source) 

Gee, color me shocked! A man of SUCH upstanding character, who’s only been mentioned in the Trump/Epstein files 1,116 times. Mind, only about half of the Trump/Epstein files have been released so who knows how many total appearances Leon makes.

Britain’s Information Commissioner’s Office have also opened up an investigation into potential data breaches by X saying, “We have taken this step following reports that Grok has been used to generate non‑consensual sexual imagery of individuals, including children.”

The investigation is also about fraudulent data extraction and tampering with automated data-processing systems. You know, the shit Trump so smugly hinted about:

“And he knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers. Those vote-counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide. So it was pretty good, pretty good. So thank you to Elon.”
~ Trump at a pre-inauguration rally in January ’25 

If France’s raid on Musk were to reveal any tidbits about election fraud in the U.S., this would be the SECOND time France has bailed our asses out.

In response to the raid MusKKK whined on X, calling it a ”political attack." The French government shot back, "Maybe that logic flies on some island. Doesn't fly in France.” He's gonna need more than aloe to treat that burn.

Spain is making a change in their social media laws:

The proposed measures include a ban on social media for children under 16 and a new legal framework to hold tech executives criminally liable for illegal content. Sanchez also confirmed that the government would work with the public prosecutor to investigate alleged legal infringements by platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, and Musk’s own AI chatbot, Grok. (source) 

Naturally, MusKKK is having a shit-fit. Poor little child abusing, refried desiccated weasel shit, billionaire really doesn't care for being exposed as the lying, self-serving, ruthless, obscenely cruel, racist twat that he is.

Sucks to be a bad guy this week, eh? Can karma go after Trump, Putin, Netanyahu, Vance, Thiel, Miller, Noem, etc. next? 

Thoughts and Advice

Us sentient humans who are paying attention to what's happening in the world around us are STRESSED right now. We're near the limit of our ability to withstand the insanity and pressure. Amirite or amirite? You know I am. The storm's only gonna get more intense so we all need to find ways to lower our tension levels so's we can continue to fight and make it to the other side.

How? A few ideas.

Somatic Exercises
'the fuck is that? Slow movements focusing on bodily sensations to release tension, improve awareness, and connect mind and body. Examples include yoga, Tai Chi, Pilates, gentle stretching, and conscious breathing.

Check out the Somatic Self Care page at Johns Hopkins Medicine. There are Somatic shorts, which are five minute sessions, as well as full practice sessions which are ~15 minutes per exercise.

Water
For some of us (*cough* ME!) water is healing and calming. Swim in it – do laps at the Y or just float in a corner of the pool. Walk along the seawall, stroll down the riverwalk, follow the path by the stream. Listen to the waves lap the shore. 

Tetris                                                                               
I’ve seen a lot of people recommending Tetris as a stress reliever. It’s apparently a video game.

…differently shaped blocks drop at varying speeds, and, as the blocks descend, the player must rotate and arrange them to create an uninterrupted horizontal row on the screen. When the player forms one or more solid rows, the completed rows disappear. The goal of the game is to prevent the blocks from stacking up to the top of the screen for as long as possible. (source) 

I’m not a video game person but, hey, do what distracts and chills you out.

Bird Feeders
You don’t need to be Christian Cooper  to enjoy watching our modern-day dino friends. Just set up a bird feeder, stock it and try to keep the squirrels at bay.

Smoke a bone.

Keep a diary where you’re as silly, as angry, as childish, as condescending as you wanna be. Doodle dicks and boobs and cats faces. No one’s gonna see it but you. Indulge yourself. Get out your frustrations and anger. Be as immature as you wanna be. If you think it'll be incriminating, burn or bury it when you're done.

Cry, grieve, and get back up again. 

See a therapist. 
Not all of them are wicked expensive. Some, like lawyers, have sliding scale fees. Don’t want to ask your friends or your PCP for help in finding a therapist? Don’t know where to start? Maybe try Betterhelp.com.

Take a long, hot, steamy bath bubble bath. 
Keep adding in more hot water. Don’t get out until you’re completely raisined. If you have hearing, put soothing music on—Eno’s Another Green World, David Byrne’s The Forest, Ravel’s Bolero, Debussy’s Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun. Go full metal Enya.

I found some great info on dealing with tear gas from Stephanie Snow, a nurse practitioner posting on Threads:

1) Get out of the area 
• Move upwind if possible
• Get to open air, higher ground 
Avoid the canisters and enclosed space

2) Don’t touch your face 
• Rubbing spreads the irritant 
• Makes eye and skin symptoms worse

3) Flush your eyes ASAP 
• Use copious amounts of cool water or saline 
• Blink repeatedly while flushing 
• Continue for 15–20 minutes 
Use more water than you think you need. The goal is dilution.

4) Breathe slow and stay upright 
• Lean slightly forward 
• Slow, controlled breath

5) Contacts out 
• Remove immediately 
• Do not reuse

6) Skip the “fixes” 
❌ Milk 
❌ Oils 
❌ Vinegar 
❌ Baby wipes 
❌ Soap in the eyes
There is no magic solution. Time + flushing works. 

7) Get medical help NOW if: 
• Wheezing, chest tightness, or trouble breathing 
• History of asthma, COPD, or heart disease 
• Severe eye pain or vision changes 
• Symptoms worsen after leaving the area

8) After you’re safe: 
• Remove outer clothing if possible 
• Shower with mild soap 
• Let water run over you, don’t scrub 
• Wash clothes separately

9) If you’re asthmatic, a well-fitted respirator or gas mask can significantly reduce lung irritation but make sure it’s something you can breathe through comfortably. Pair it with eye protection and always have your inhaler handy. 

10) Treat tear gas like a chemical exposure, not a minor inconvenience. Save this info so you don’t have to remember it when you're exhausted, in pain, and covered in gross gunk.

Be prepared. Take care of yourselves. We're in for nasty weather. 

Random Thoughts

It’s Monday and I’m not quite sure all my brain’s cylinders are fully functioning this morning. It’s COLD outside, dammit!

Found on Threads:

Most advanced telescopes use mirrors so we really have no way of knowing how many vampires there are in space.

This is important people!

I’ve mentioned that Jen, Oni, and I have been watching (and LOVING) The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. We’re at the point where she’s opening for Shy Baldwin in Las Vegas. The year is 1960.

Baldwin’s character was inspired by real life crooners like Harry Belafonte, Johnny Mathis, and Nat King Cole. 

In the show, there’s no sign of the racism that existed and exists in real life. 

As Sammy Davis Jr. once recalled, "In Vegas for 20 minutes, our skin had no color. Then the second we stepped off the stage, we were colored again...the other acts could gamble or sit in the lounge and have a drink, but we had to leave through the kitchen with the garbage.” (source) 

It was on March 25, 1960 that the Moulin Rouge Agreement was signed. Jim Crow restrictions were lifted. Black people were allowed to gamble, stay in Las Vegas resorts, and attend shows. Broad change did NOT happen overnight but change began.

Mrs. Maisel and Shy Baldwin are playing Vegas that year. Were they at an enlightened casino – one that didn’t need to be integrated by law, by force? Were Shy and his crew housed at the casino’s hotel along with the white performers or did they have to stay in boarding houses on the west (Black) side of town as Sammy Davis Jr. did (until Frank Sinatra stepped in and threatened)?

I’d like to know.
~~~
I *think* that, because I’m watching Mrs. Maisel, so many odd memories from my childhood – fashions, clothes, cars, prejudices, names, places – are coming into my mind. 

Fer instance:

Pia Zadora. Who the fuck was she? I googled. Incredibly (to me), she’s only a few years older than me and still alive. Apparently she was an horrific actress, winning multiple Razzies for Worst Actress and NYTimes film critic Vincent Canby’s pronouncement that her performances are "spectacularly inept.” Also, she was a decidedly failed chanteuse. I don’t recall ANY of her movies. Santa Claus Conquers the Martians? Butterfly? Voyage of the Rock Aliens? Her music? Sorry, no fucking memories at all.

It seems her first husband was quite wealthy and much older. The second was a low level director. The third, near the end of her laughable career’s death, was/is a cop.

Her Wikipedia page reads like a broadly drawn caricature of every aspiring fame chaser with far more ambition and vanity than talent or self-awareness. WHY is her name cluttering up my mind? 

Then there’s Joey Heatherton, a low level actress, singer, dancer, and supposed sex symbol (for what audience???). I can’t say I’ve seen any of the teevee shows or movies she’s listed as being in. Not to sound elitist or anything but, somehow, I managed to miss The Happy Hooker Goes to Washington and Love, American Style.

I seem to recall her doing commercials for mattresses back in the early ‘70s though. At the time I wondered WHO is this and how does her name boost mattress sales? 

I didn't know this then but she’s FIVE years younger than Grace Slick. She came off, to me anyway, as though she was from the previous generation. Like, she should've been appearing alongside Dean Martin, Perry Como, and Doris Day.

Wikipedia tells me that she was married to some football star who was into flashing his peen to 10-year-olds. Guess he was a Republican. She divorced him. 

In any case, the site tells me she hasn’t done anything, film-wise, since 1990 when she was 46. Heatherton, unlike her career is still alive. Good for her.

Not everyone can be Meryl Streep, Angela Bassett, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michelle Yeoh, Alfre Woodard or Viola Davis. Ya know?

Don't Be A Zombie

Desensitization
A decrease in emotional responsiveness to a negative or aversive stimulus, such as reduced empathy for victims of violence and other forms of abuse, due to repeated exposure.

He’s throwing SO MUCH shit at us constantly in the hope that we become numb, so that we stop caring and/or are so desensitized that we’re no longer able to respond. 

This is a tactic. If they overwhelm us, we’ll be unable to fight back or resist in any meaningful way.

This administration and its backers, like Musk, Thiel, and The Heritage Foundation, to name a few, want us to be compliant zombies.

Briefly and just off the top of my head he’s:

• Threatened world war because Denmark wouldn’t give him Greenland with a nice pink bow. Lied, saying The U.S. needs Greenland for defense reasons when it was all about wanting their inaccessible rare minerals.

• Bombed more than 36 Venezuelan fishing boats, killing more than 126 people, lied that they were drug boats headed for the U.S. Then invaded the country, kidnapped their president (and his wife), saying he was a narco-terrorist. Meanwhile, the whole charade, all the deaths, all the U.S. taxpayer buckos spent on military actions were because Pedo wanted to get his mitts on Venezuela’s oil that, oopsie, the big oil company’s aren’t actually interested in. Oh and all the money from the sale of Venezuela’s oil? Yeah, that goes into a special bank account in Qatar. Sounds legit, right? This was never about drugs.

• How about the Soviet style $45 million birthday parade that Stinky threw for himself and slept through?  

• The pants shitting maniac had the East Wing of the White House demolished without he required congressional authorization or full approval from federal planning commissions. Why? He wanted a giant-ass ugly ballroom – 90,000-square-feet of gold painted filigree and crap. For comparison’s sake, an American football field is 57,600-square-feet. The Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC measures 35,000-square-feet and holds 2,000 people.

• He had a personal private army formed. It’s made up of the January 6th insurrectionists, white nationalists, pardoned criminals, people too stupid, violent, and out of control to become cops, join the military or become security guards at their local mall. Their job? Domestic terrorism – ethnic and political cleansing. With them Prez Pedo wages war on Blue cities and states like Los Angeles, Chicago, Minnesota, Portland, Maine, and more.

• MINNEAPOLIS and all the Trump sanctioned murders!

• And, of course, the Epstein/Trump files. Though 3.5 million new, horrifying pages (including more than 2,000 videos and 180,000 images) were released on Friday, apparently that’s not all of it. Prez Pedo’s personal AG, Bleach Bondi, is withholding roughly 50% of the files while claiming to have fully complied with the law. 

• Pedo wants to build a big, beautiful memorial arch to himself. 

How next will Pedo, his private army, and faithful henchman – the Republican Party, take a sledge hammer to democracy, liberty, the Constitution, our rights as citizens and humans on this fucking planet?  

If we are to survive, if we are going to get to the other side of this mondo shitstorm, we canNOT become desensitized. How is that possible though?

Pick causes to focus your energy on. Don’t spread yourself across the whole board. If you do, you’ll become overwhelmed, overloaded and crash. Probably. Unless you’re Superhuman. I’m sure as fuck not.

Actively manage your news consumption by setting a strict time limit (e.g., 60 minutes per day). Stop when the time’s up and focus on other shit like reading a book, watching a movie, baking, crafting, painting, making music, going for a walk, photography, bowling, playing with your cat, whatever. I'm bad at this – it's a goal I'm after though.

Feeling emotionally numb? Stop. Rest. Pet a cat. Volunteer and/or donate. Go work at a shelter (people and/or animal). Spend time with folks in nursing homes. Don’t like people? You’re socially awkward (like me)? Volunteer to run errands or clean.  

Look for positive stories too. It’s not all doom out there.

Really.

Though still severely endangered, researchers have spotted 21 North Atlantic right whale calves off the Southeast U.S. coast and this encouraging.  

Electric vehicles (EVs) are outselling gas cars in Europe for the first time. Yeah, it’ll be a LOT longer before that happens over here but, it WILL happen. 

Three big U.S. offshore wind farm projects are back under construction after Prez Asshole ordered them stopped. Federal judges cockblocked his little mushroom.

SEE? There IS some good news.

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. 
~ Albert Einstein

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!
