Friday Random News

It’s Schadenfreude Friday, at least in part.

Senator John Foghorn Leghorn Kennedy of Louisiana was on Hannity chiding his fellow Republicans saying, “This was not a normal midterm election loss. If you think that, congratulations, you’re stupid.”

He went on to say that, essentially, Republicans were basically pissing on themselves. Accurate but ewwwwww.

Republican Rep David Joyce spoke to CNN’s Manu Raju Wednesday, about his mates who had indicated their plan to double down on the MAGA agenda. He said, “They can’t double down on stupid.”

Oh, I’ve no doubt that they can and will! In fact, they already have. Example — dimwitted, pedophile enabling Gym Jordan was elected by House Republicans to be the next House Minority Leader. The vote was 106-73.

These ridiculous doofus’s will either be unemployed in another two years (for the crime of being astonishingly out of touch with their constituents), or they’ll just continue to be in the flaccid minority.

Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner — two treasonous greedheaded real estate robber barons, who Trump put in charge of snatching Ukraine for his boss, Putin, now have their official team jackets. This removes all doubt as to which team they’re playing for.

A Russian air force lieutenant colonel died yesterday morning when his car suddenly exploded in St. Petersburg. 

This is the second car bombing death of a Russian aerospace/air defense officer in the exact same neighborhood in less than four months. On August 27, 2026, another lieutenant colonel was killed with a remote triggered car bomb on the very same highway. Huh.

Considering that both their deaths are being investigated as murders — not written off as clumsy falls out tenth floor open windows, accidents with firearms or mistakenly adding toxic herbs to tea *oopsie* — I’m guessing the Kremlin MAY not have ordered these murders. Maybe.

The longer Russian news reports mention our friends in Ukraine. They’re saying that, in 2022, Ukrainian military intelligence accused members of this specific air force unit of carrying out strikes against civilians in northeastern Ukraine.

 My only hesitations on buying this are:

• Can anything out of the Kremlin be believed? Of course they want to pin car bombings on Ukraine. Russia, like Trump, is wild about playing the poor, innocent, pitiful, defenseless victim.
• Why would Ukraine wait four years to retaliate and only hit these two lieutenant colonels? Seems wicked fishy.
• This doesn’t seem to be Ukraine’s style. They go big. They bomb data centers and oil refineries. Meanwhile, Russia targets roads, utilities, hospitals, schools, and homes. 

Also, a 24-year-old Russian woman is suspected of planting August's bomb. It’s been reported that she’s since fled to Turkey and then Moldova.

So, Russia’s military seems to be even more fucked up than Trump/Kegseth’s. I didn’t think that was possible.

People are utterly unhinged and I can honestly sort of understand it.

Dude in D.C. with a longstanding  “conflict between him and the homeowners association of that building” had a random shooting fest from his apartment’s balcony yesterday morning.

Court records show that Lambert had been involved in a civil dispute with the association since March 2025, alleging that his unit had mold, moisture issues and water damage after repairs to the building’s facade. The association denied allegations of negligence in court filings, and the litigation remained ongoing. (source) 

He was mad as hell and had already spent $300,000 trying to resolve this legally (300 Gs!!!). Lambert was up against an obviously deep, deep pocketed corporate backed intransigent Trump-like organization. He just snapped.

What I don’t get is why he was picking off random, innocent people. Why not go to the homeowners association office or the building owner’s office?

Oh right, it’s because he snapped. Lambert’s brain exploded. He was so overwhelmed, I imagine, with the frustration of the corporation not taking responsibility for the damage they’d caused that his mind ceased all logical functions.

This makes me think of the book I’m reading now — Monsters of Ohio by John Scalzi. I’m only about halfway through (and enjoying the fuck out of it) but it 🚨🚨🚨 SPOILER ALERT 🚨🚨🚨 seems that the town’s humans, who are particularly unhappy, dissatisfied with life, and/or just generally angry, get to a boiling point where they physically explode, morphing into tentacled part-human, part-Cthulhu. After the transformation they’re much calmer — their fever’s broken. Physically and emotionally they feel fine — even better than before.

Back to D.C. — Matt Wade Lambert offed himself, saving taxpayers the cost of a trial and prison stay. Know who’s ultimately to blame for this? The greedheaded fucking corporation who wouldn’t take responsibility for the damage they caused. How very Trumpish of them.

Bits & Pieces

 The Russian ambassador to the U.S., Alexander Darchiev, died suddenly in Moscow yesterday. News reports gave no cause of death so we’re left wondering, was it poisoned tea, a fall from a tall window or a spectacularly exploding car? What was his offense? Was he blamed, at least in part, for the blue tsunami? (which, by the by, is still rolling in) 
~~~
Providence, Rhode Island — where I lived when I was in second grade at Saint Sebastian's and where Jen lived when she went to RISD — became the second US city to vote to divest from Israel. Voters there approved a ballot measure last Tuesday which requires the city to refrain from investing in foreign countries that profit from “genocide, apartheid, ethnic cleansing and prolonged military occupation.” How ultra cool and civilized is that?! Very.

Passing with 75% of the vote, the victory aligns with public opinion’s souring on the Israeli government. (source)

Somerville, Massachusetts, right next door to my old home of East Cambridge, was the first U.S. town to divest. 
~~~
Scott Colom has won the Senate race in Mississippi! He will be first Black Senator from Mississippi since 1881.

Blanche Kelso Bruce, the last Black man to serve as a Senator from Mississippi, was born enslaved. His father, Pettus Perkinson, who was white, owned his mother, Polly Bruce. Yeah, so that means he raped her.

In 2023, Joe Biden nominated Scott Colom to be a federal judge. Soon to be ex-Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith blocked him. 

On January 3, 2027 Colom will be taking her job in the Senate. I LOVE the smell of karma in the morning!
~~~
Monday Trump nominated Palantir's own security chief, Michael LoSapio, to run the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) — this is the agency that guards the federal government's civilian networks. Palantir's software already runs through the Department of Homeland Security. CISA is meant to defend civilian government networks from hackers and spies. What if those hackers and spies are already in the house because they've been invited in?!

This is Peter Thiel’s company. You know, the guy who looks disturbingly like a Nazi villain (and now coincidentally lives in Argentina, destination of so many fleeing WWII Nazis), is a BIG Republican donor, and JDouche’s “mentor,” i.e. daddy.

In February DHS signed a purchasing agreement with Palantir worth up to $1 billion over five years, which lets any part of the department buy Palantir software without a fresh tender. That reach is departmentwide and could extend to the Secret Service, FEMA, TSA and CISA itself. If LoSapio is confirmed, the man in charge of checking the security of those systems will have come straight from the company selling them. 
~~~
The question is not one appointment. It is how much of the state's machinery of watching people now sits with one company. Inside DHS, ICE paid Palantir about $30 million in April 2025 for ImmigrationOS, a system to track self-deportations and people who overstay their visas. ICE officers use ELITE, a Palantir app that maps likely deportation targets, opens a dossier on each person and gives a "confidence score" for their current address. It draws addresses from the Department of Health and Human Services, among other sources, and has been reported to take in Medicaid data. (source) 

All I can say is … reaching across the aisle and stern letters ain’t gonna cut it. Prez Pedo’s a deranged, out of control, drug addled, radish brained imbecile but not all of the people behind him, the ones working the levers, the controls, are.

Armistice Day

Today is Veterans Day when we, theoretically, honor all living and dead men and women who have served in the U.S. military. NOT to be confused with Memorial Day which is the day to honor service members who died in war or the military.

Veterans Day originated as Armistice Day on November 11, 1919 — the one-year anniversary of the end of World War I (when fighting ended on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918).

23 U.S. service members have died so far in Pedo’s ego salving/Epstein distraction war on Iran. There have been anywhere from 9,047–18,371 total casualties. 

War — hell of a way to practice population control.

Meanwhile, the not-for-much-longer Republican dominated House failed to impeach greasy haired, flop sweat drenched, alcoholic, monstrously incompetent and guilty as fuck Secretary of War Crimes. Can't say I'm surprised. They’ve totally locked in their status as one of the most spectacular sinking ships of all time. The party's going down like the Titanic, the Lusitania, and the Andrea Doria. 

Such a shame Republicans are incapable of objective, reasoned insight or independent thought and action. I imagine that being cemented into a cult must be awfully painful. They should probably watch out for sharks down where they're headed. I imagine the sharks will be a tad surprised and miffed by the fresh intruders.

… and now for some comics and other assorted amusements.

I realize I’m repeating myself here BUT fraternities and sororities really should be eliminated. They’re breeding grounds for bullies, rapists, white collar crimers, radish brained twats, Karens of either gender, entitled assholes, and Republicans. All that's redundant though, isn't it?

What's up lately?  

At Ohio State Saturday night, a video made the rounds online of two Sigma Alpha Epsilon frat-holes with their pants on fire — one tackling the other, rolling around on the ground.

The video posted online starts with someone in a sweatsuit on the ground with his pants engulfed in flames. That individual gets up and tackles another person in a matching sweatsuit, resulting in the second person’s clothing being ignited. 

Both of the men then run around and attempt to shed their clothing while others come in to help them stamp out the flames, according to the video.  (source) 

Was this a hazing incident? Were they told to do this or they couldn’t be part of the cool boys, macho men club anymore? Maybe they were drunk and/or drugged out of their teeny tiny minds? Sigma Alpha Epsilon does have a rep for killing off their members in that manner after all.

There was a Bloomberg report in 2013 that dubbed them the “deadliest frat.” Between 2006 and 2013 there were nine deaths linked to linked to drinking, drugs, and hazing. This is on top of all the sexual assaults — so many that the frats initials SAE are  “jokingly” said to stands for "Sexual Assault Expected.”

Steve Mitchell, CEO of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, said behavior that violates its high standards has no place in its organization and it will take appropriate action to hold those responsible accountable based on the investigation. (source)

Sure guy. Steve Mitchell wouldn't be saying dick if these morons hadn't made national news. Anyone with half a brain is well aware that “high standards” and fraternities will never, ever be found in the same universe. Just as no sane person would ever expect elegance, expertise, courtesy, truth or compassion to come from Trump, anyone in his employ or his deranged cult.

Then there’s Alaina Kunes, Lauren Mayfield, and Sara Whitehead of the Iota Omega chapter of the Alpha Phi sorority at the University of Mississippi, (Ole Miss) who thought it would be really bright fun to make grotesque monkey sounds and gestures as they passed by a neighbor's apartment belonging to three Black students. Funny thing is, the residents of that apartment had one of those door cameras and it caught their racist bullshit. They’ve gone viral. So much so that an old woman in Massachusetts (HEY, that’s me!) is posting about it.

Alaina Kunes's disgusting parents, by the by, were easily traced. They’re racist MAGAts (I know, redundant much?). Scott Kunes is the son of the owner of a string of bigoted bullshit car dealerships in Wisconsin. 
Scotty had been the COO there until February of this year when he left to “to pursue new entrepreneurial opportunities and personal aspirations.” Was he having a bit of a midlife crisis? Did he need to break away from his rich old dad? Maybe he had to pursue his childhood dream? His new biz, Bur Oak Environmental Services (no website yet but Scotty's on LinkedIn), is something to do with septic tanks. As a boy, he fantasized about being covered in and wallowing in shit? I mean, I guess we all have a kink, huh? 

The Kunes car company is currently being sued because an employee wrote a racial slur on an oil change sticker and put it on a Black customer’s car. I wonder if old Scotty’s departure and the lawsuit are connected. The news report says the employee was fired. Sure. I suspect he was just transferred to a different office.

I just found another obscene incident. Apparently they’ve got quite the KKK sales style at Kunes Auto Group.

Earlier this year in March 2026, a Black woman named Carolyn Word purchased four cars from Kunes Auto Group and faced racism. She told Fox6 that a Kunes Auto Group salesman at the dealership in Elkhorn, Wisconsin, texted her a GIF of an ape in a bikini.

“I don’t want to be a bother if you’re not interested in a car; we just got an inquiry from you telling us you were interested. Should I take you off the list?” the message from the salesman read,  following the inappropriate GIF. (source) 

This is how the dealership thinks they're gonna make sales referrals and repeat customers?

Also, funny how the news article mentions the victim’s name but not that of the salesman who made the astoundingly racist, white trash, brain dead (not to insult those rockin’ a nonfunctioning cerebrum, mind you) quips.

 Looks like, when you go in for a job interview at Kunes Auto Group, their first question is "when was the last time you wore a white hood and robe or burned a cross on a Black person's lawn?" If your answer is further back than "a week ago Tuesday," boy howdy, you're not getting hired.

Not too bright, these MAGAts, eh? It looks like Alaina’s a chip off the old bigoted braindead blockhead. She apparently comes from a long line of racist idiots who think they can get away with being kkkumquat brained cartoon thugs for life. It's their right!

Think again motherfuckers. Welcome to Find Out Land.

Staycation

Greetings from Jen and Donna’s 2026 Invalid Staycation! 

How is our holiday different from what we had planned? 

• For starters, we’re in stunningly beautiful Valhalla versus the strange, volcanic, alluring Iceland. 
• Last night we did NOT have to suffer through the hassles, crowds, indignities, and general annoyances of Boston’s Logan or Reykjavík’s desperately aggravating, forever-under-construction Keflavík airports.
• We are NOT presently sitting in the lounge of a very expensive hotel and spa, exhausted from our travels, hoping for early check-in, desperate to remove our bras. (this same expensive hotel/spa which is NOT giving us any sort of refund or credit despite our cancellation being due to a sudden health crisis).

• Here in Valhalla, later today, our recovering hero, Jen, and I will camp out on her sofa with a lovely lunch of soft tortellini. She needs to stick to soft foods until her mouth heals up — a couple of weeks. There are tons of different delicious soft foods to be had (saag paneer! baba ganoush! sushi! clam chowder!) and we’re lucky enough to live in a city where all those can be easily obtained.
• With lunch and snack items, we’ll crank up the teevee and indulge in a few hours of absolute distraction. Maybe we’ll explore new shows and movies or we might comfort watch. You know, Buffy! Mrs. Maisel? Firefly! Resident Alien! Good Omens? RIDE OR DIE!!!! I could, like TOTALLY, see us binge watching the fuck outta that brilliant series!
• Movie-wise there’s always Deadpool, Alien Resurrection, Princess Bride, The Truman Show, Moonstruck, The Matrix, and a zillion other escapist wonders.

There will also be reading in bed/on the couch/in the comfy chair whilst sipping hot toddies/wine/tea/water/whathaveyou. I’ve just started John Scalzi’s new book Monsters of Ohio. Now that the election’s over and the forces of evil mostly lost (so long rapist supporter Ramaswampy!), Monsters of Ohio is def escapist fiction. Just what I need. YEA!

There MAY be naps involved today as well. Possibly a very hot shower too if we, ya know, go all wildly extravagant and crazy.

So, that’s the plan for the first day of Jen and Donna’s BIG Recovery Staycation. NOT actually all that different than otherwise planned except for the lack of geothermal pool and cats. There are no cats at the Silica Hotel. We have cats here. Three of them. Advantage Valhalla!

Cookies, Art, and Thieves

Mixing two of my great loves — art and baked goods — is author, historian, and baker Dr. Ella Hawkins of Hereford, England.

Academic research is notoriously niche and often opaque, but Dr. Ella Hawkins has found a crowd-pleasing way to share her studies.
     ~~~
Hawkins bakes batches of cookies that she tops with royal icing. Decorating takes a scholarly turn, as she uses tiny paintbrushes and a mini projector to help trace imagery of William Morris’ ornate floral motifs or coastal scenes from English delftware. Rendering a design on a single cookie can take anywhere between two and four hours, depending on the complexity. (source)

Eating a cookie that took FOUR hours to paint would feel intensely decadent! I could manage it though. Reverently of course. I’ve got manners and respect for artists and shit, ya know?
~~~
Vanky, the daughter Pedo so desperately wants to “date,” got a nice birthday trip to Marrakesh, Morocco on our taxpayer buckos.

She’s a multimillionaire at least 100 times over and that’s not counting the billions her husband, Jared, the bonesaw murderer assisting “diplomat,” has crimed away. She can absolutely afford to pay her own damn bills, including those for her security.
~~~
American mass shooting is spreading.

A gunman killed six people in Kraków's Main Market Square on Saturday afternoon, after driving onto the square shortly after 3pm and firing "at random people from his car", police said. The regional governor's office said four women and two men died and 15 people were wounded, two police officers among them. (source)

Aside from Hollywood movies and TV shows, gun violence is America’s major export.

The world needs to take a lesson from how Scotland control reacted to the Dunblane massacre and Australia’s response to the Port Arthur massacre. 

The U.S. seems to be too stupid, tiny dicked, and on-the-take to the gun lobby to learn.
~~~
Trump offered Dana White, head of the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO) and one of his oldest supporters, the job of Press Secretary. 

Doesn’t that gig, under Pedo, usually go to bleach blondes who bear at least a passing resemblance to that daughter he wants to “date.”  If Dana takes the gig will he have to wear a wig and form fitting miniskirts? Dementia Don said Dana could bring six fighters with him as “assistants.” You know, muscle, in case any reporter gets out of hand and asks a question that isn’t absolutely obsequious.

“We need these people to defend us against the Lunatic Left. Dana will be a Press Secretary like none other. Dana, please take the job!” he added.

Despite being a Pedo supporter, Dana can apparently read the writing on the wall and has self preservation instinct. He turned the desperate, decaying, lame duck down. Oh wait,  I've just now read that White IS meeting with Pedo to talk about things tomorrow. So, who knows?

Lee Miller

A random thought, did one of the Orange Shit Machine’s underlings mention the name Dana W. White in Pedo’s presence when they were talking about giving Kegseth the boot? Trump's pinball brain bounced the name around for awhile until it emerged as Dana F. White, popping up in THE press secretary replacement discussion. OF COURSE, the UFC dude made perfect sense to him — it has trailer park living, ball cap wearing, beer guzzling, rusted-car-up-on-cinder-blocks-in-the-front-yard, TV audience appeal.
~~~
I only mention it BUT:

• We didn’t prosecute the Confederates for treason. 

• We didn’t prosecute Nixon for obstruction of justice, abuse of power or contempt of Congress. 

•  We didn’t prosecute Reagan for high crimes and misdemeanors — all the whole Iran-Contra criming to say the least.

• We didn’t prosecute Bush for his manufactured obscene war on Iraq or all the human rights violations and heinous torture he okayed.

Leopold Gazer

We MUST prosecute Trump and every single person in his employ or vile people like him will just do it again. All those who facilitated this absofucking out of control criminal and murderous regime need to be held accountable.

Barbara Rae

Justice is necessary. Without it, the odds of this happening again and soon are way too fucking high.
~~~
The Art Institute of Chicago has an exhibit up right now (through December 6th) of Lee Miller’s photography. She was a Surrealist and also a battlefield correspondent during WWII. Incredible stuff.

If you happen to be in or near Vienna this month, do swing by Galerie bei der Albertina for the exhibit of Leopold Ganzer paintings. 

Coming up later this month at The Royal Scottish Academy (one of my favorite museums — the joint never disappoints) in Edinburgh is an exhibit of painter Barbara Rae’s latest work. 

Just FYI.

It’s NOT All About Me

Apparently other people can get sick and have mysterious health emergencies too? Go figure!

Jen, who, by the by, is 11-1/2 years younger than me, has been having some pretty intense back pain and spasms. She’s only copped to having them, to me anyway, in the past week. This means she’s been experiencing them for at least a month. She did see her primary care doc this week. They talked about it and Jen was given a referral to physical therapy. 

My thought? What, no MRI? Granted, I’m no medic but still … automatically prescribing PT seems inadequate, hasty, perfunctory.

Well, Thursday morning, as our hero was getting out of bed, she had a spasm so severe she passed out from the pain! As she toppled to the floor, her head bashed against the windowsill. Oni immediately whisked her away to Mass General’s ER.

On the way there she was, incredibly, in a fine enough state to text Ten and I to let us know:

• She had fallen so wouldn't be stopping by before work. (ummmm, the first part was the most important bit, little Missy!)
• That she and Oni were on the way to MGH's ER but she was mostly okay (yeah sure, Babe).

I was panicking! I felt astoundingly useless — unable to do ANYTHING to make things better for one of THE most important persons in my life. Was there anything at all that I could do to help? Not really. I could crack wise — I can usually make Jen laugh and, as Readers Digest (an unimpeachable source, of course) has long told us, laughter is the best medicine. During her ER sojourn, as she went from CT scans to different exam offices to various rooms where her split lips and broken nose were stitched up and glued back together, I sent a few dark, ridiculous texts.

Meanwhile, I’m home having panic fits AND, conveniently, a Zoom appointment with my therapist, Janice. I discovered that part of my panic was related to the fact that none of the docs seemed to be zeroing in on the cause of her fall — the extremely painful back spasm. I mean, what the diagnostic fuck?!!

This brought up wretched memories of when I almost, permanently, lost all feeling and mobility from my tits down (this was 25 years ago). I was experiencing weakness and numbness in my left leg. My new insurance-approved PCP kept telling me I had sciatica and it would clear up in a month. It didn’t and, in fact, got worse to the point that I was beginning to walk like Quasi Modo. The doc knew I had NF2 but was clearly not a big picture, 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle problem solver type. Eventually, I demanded the doc give me an insurance-okayed referral to my MGH neurologists because her diagnosis was OBVIOUS bullshit. She did though I had to jump through more hoops first. By the time I got into MGH I was in dire straits. I had a fast MRI and an immediate appointment with one of the best neurosurgeons who wanted me in the OR yesterday. There was a mass of tumors on my thoracic spine the size of the Nimitz.

Lesson? We must always advocate for ourselves in everything. I can trust my doctors, lawyers, financial advisers, plumbers, repairmen, electricians, etc. BUT I NEED to be involved, informed, and have all my questions answered to my satisfaction. Not doing this can cost me my life. Do I need to know as much as the professionals? No but I need to be able to think clearly, critically, ask questions, and get clear, thorough answers. I need to be awake and aware — no blind trusting. Dammit.

In Jen’s case, what we NEED to know is this — WHAT is the root cause of her back spasms and pain? Don’t just treat her damn symptoms — go to the source of the problem. FFS!

So, Thursday I was home feeling useless. Worried that Jen was dying and I was in no position to make the docs pay better fucking attention. Then I remembered that we’re due to fly to Iceland Sunday evening for our long-planned holiday at the lux geothermal lagoon. Yeah, that’s not happening anymore. I could at least be useful and cancel our flights and hotel reservations and, hopefully, get refunds. (Yes on flights but, very sadly, no on the spa) Maybe we'll be able to go there again someday. Maybe not. It depends on our health and finances.

Jen came over to visit yesterday but texted first to warn me that she looked like she had a serious case of Mar-A-Lago face gone bad. Hmmmmm. Honestly? Mar-A-Lago face already looks like Dr. Frankenstein was more than a bit tipsy when he reached for his scalpels. So, how bad could it be?

How’s our girl look? While there’s definite swelling, she would definitely NOT fit in with the scary crowd at that tacky joint in Florida. No, there will be no pictures at this time.

Now Is NOT The Time For Milquetoast

Accountability needs to happen!

Hakeem Jeffries is assuring us that we can work with Republicans to reach “bipartisan common ground.”

… our mission is to find ways to work with Republicans whenever possible to get things done for the American people, to work on issues related to the economy and inflation and lowering costs, fighting for better-paying jobs and safer communities. And I hope that Republicans will look for common ground with us … (source) 

Dude, have you been asleep these past two years? Were you visiting friends on Alpha Centauri? Is the sky pretty there? Did you take any pictures?

NOW is NOT the time to go all Susan Collins on us. Don’t you and your pal Chuckie Schumer DARE write another concerned strongly worded letter! You’re not dealing with honorable folk with whom you have a slight difference of opinion on government functions. These are cutthroat, murderous, lying-ass, soulless, mobbed up, felons who would sell your 5-year-olds as veal or into sex slavery — whichever fetches a higher price on any given day.

Republicans aren’t people you trust. If you find yourself in a bar with one, you cover your drink and, when they leave, check twice to make sure you’ve still got your wallet and phone.

Jeffries’s also said:

The American people do not want us to engage in payback. They want us to deliver results on their behalf because the cost of living is too high.

Accountability, JUSTICE, is not the same as “payback” or revenge.

Whoever ends up being majority and minority leader needs to prioritize getting the billions Pedo stole from us back in whatever way possible.

I want the money Pedo’s using for his Epstein Dancehall to properly fund public education. I want our taxpayer buckos that he pissed away “repairing” the Reflecting Pool BACK! Spend it on free healthy school lunches for kids. I want the dosh he supposedly paid contractors to gild statues to go to programs to provide free quality healthcare. Same for every other goddamn Liberace via Saddam Hussein mall food court, home decorating job he's pulled. 

I want his fucking Qatari jet donated to Doctors without Borders. The money spent on his illegal war on Iran? Sell off all his worldly possessions and rebuild Iran — Venezuela too. We can’t bring back all the people, all the children he and Kegseth have killed but we should put their beautiful countries back together.

I want the Epstein Files released as a mass market paperback, available free on every grocery store card/magazine/book rack. Large print and audiobook versions will be on hand as well! I want the rapist’s names to be scrolled on Jumbotrons during sportsball games, on skyscraper news crawls in every major city, on e-billboards along busy commuter highways. Make the obscene, horrific crimes of those rich, entitled motherfuckers unavoidable.

I want Todd Blanche, attorney general and Pedo's personal shyster, removed, disbarred, prosecuted, and thoroughly shamed. While we're at it, take away Ghislaine Maxwell's puppy. She doesn’t deserve joy and comfort. Put her in a maximum security prison with other child rapists — see how long she lasts.

I want the 47 billion dollars Trump spent on his illegal war taken out of his and his entire family's bank accounts (both secret and public accounts — and take ALL their properties). Investigate the fuck outta weasel boy Jared Kushner and seize every bit of his blood soaked assets. Pay back what they’ve stolen from U.S. citizens and the rest of the world.

By the by, what exactly happened to all that Venezuelan oil money? Didn’t Trump say that it was going into some bank account in Qatar? And isn’t THAT strange? Doesn’t that absolutely reek of I’m-squirreling-this-big-wad-away-for-my-personal-use. With all the chaos he sows, you just know he's counting on us forgetting all about it. Certainly we would have by the time he needs to make an expeditious exit to a cozy non-extradition type country. 

Interestingly, Qatar, who gifted him that big-ass plane AND where Trump’s banking his ill-gotten Venezuelan bucks, doesn’t have an extradition treaty with the U.S. Is this where Pedo’s gonna beat feet when things get too hot around here. It'd be irresponsible not to speculate.

Jesse Duquette

One problem though. I don’t believe the old pants shitting child rapist is so popular in Qatar or, maybe, anywhere else in the Middle East, anymore. His and Netanyhu’s ridiculously ill thought out war of choice on Iran has done some insane damage.

Back to Schumer and Jeffries — I don't know anyone who's interested in our elected reps “reaching across the aisle” with the corrupt murderous thugs who brought us roving bands of masked thugs gunning down innocents in the streets for absolutely no fucking reason. Can’t think of a soul who trusts the people who were okay with fishermen being bombed/murdered at work because Kegseth couldn’t get a stiffy with the Mrs. last night or couldn’t do a proper pull-up on camera this morning.

I’m not looking for vengeance or retribution. I want justice. I want accountability. For Renée Nicole Good, Alex Pretti, Keith Porter Jr., Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, Joan Sebastian Guerrero, Silverio Villegas González, Ruben Ray Martínez, Nurul Amin Shah Alam, and all the others murdered by ICE. 

The people who gave the orders need to pay the piper. The celery brained, batshit, racist, rapist, hate machines who carried out the commands must be outed and made to answer for the obscene crimes they committed.

Can Stephen Undead Miller, Hamfaced Homan, Nazi cosplay dwarf Bongino, Dogkiller Noem, MarkyWayneBob Nimrod or any of the ICE thugs bring back our kidnapped friends and neighbors now, please? Can they unrape the 13-year-old girls in Trump’s concentration camps? Can they unmurder our friends, families, and coworkers?

Just one more thing, on top of Schumer and Jeffries being in AIPAC’s debt, Hakeem’s donor list includes:

… controversial figures like Anduril CEO Brian Schimpf and his COO Matthew Grimm, who together spent nearly $150,000 boosting Jeffries’ fundraising committees. Some might recognize Anduril as the AI weapons tech corporation co-founded by Palmer Luckey, a tech billionaire whose recent projects include a company working on genetically enhanced dogs for military purposes.

Another controversial donor includes Mehdi Allhassani, current head of government affairs at the AI surveillance company Palantir, from whom Jeffries received $44,300 this election cycle.

Jeffries also has the backing of cryptocurrency advocacy groups and investment executives at firms including Bain Capital, DE Shaw, and Renaissance Technologies, Sludge reports. (source) 

Seems skeevy as fuck, no? I have a few ideas here:

Senate Majority Leader: Elizabeth Warren, Tammy Duckworth or Mark Kelly
Senate Minority Leader: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib or Jamie Raskin

Who would you like to see in those positions?
