Word for the Day

Kakistocracy
   noun
a system of government that is run by the worst, least qualified, and/or most unscrupulous citizens.

The administration of Bozo, the cretinous, grifting and despotic Russian asset, was, top to bottom, a kakistocracy.

Kakistocratically
   adverb

The Supreme Court is set to kakistocratically outlaw my right to decide what happens to my own body. In fact, this won’t be MY body anymore—I will be an object, a tool, owned by the government.

A kakistocrat is a person who participates in a kakistocracy.
Samuel ‘Witch Trial’ Alito, Seditionist Thomas, Beer Kavenaugh, Amy Coathanger Barrett

and None-Too-Bright Gorsuch are all extreme kakistocrats.

Today's word was coined by combining Greek kakistos "worst" + cratia "rule". Kakistos is the superlative of kakos "bad", which Greek derived from PIE (Proto-Indo-European language) kaka- "to defecate". 

Shitty Rule—yep, that about covers it. ALSO:

Kaka- went into the making of poppycock, which English may have borrowed from American Dutch poppekak "doll's poop" from poppe "doll" + kak "poop".  (source)

Doll Shit— I LOVE it! This, naturally, brings me to the senior senator from Maine. You know, the one with the perpetually furrowed brow. Susan ‘Concerned’ Collins claims to be a moderate Republican (FYI, like unicorns, those don’t actually exist), and pro-choice. She lies.

“I do not believe that Brett Kavanaugh will overturn Roe v. Wade,” Collins said in 2018. And of Gorsuch: “I had a very long discussion with Justice Gorsuch in my office, and he pointed out to me that he is a co-author of a whole book on precedent.” (source)

I don’t believe for one red hot second that Collins was naive enough to believe either of these lying sacks of judicial Rottweiler shit. No, it was all a big fucking act with everyone carefully speaking their Federalist Society scripted lines. Bad actress Collins is, once again, acting concerned but not so convincingly that she'll vote for the Women's Health Protection Act.

At least there’s a scintilla of good news out of Michigan this week. You remember the Republi/Fascist candidate for the state’s House of Representatives who proudly stated that he’s told his own daughters that if they’re about to be raped they “should just lie back and enjoy it.” (seriously—he said this. I’m NOT being all hyperbolic and shit) Well, this weasel brained, heartless, wannabe kakistocrat LOST his bid to represent Michigan's 74th district. 

I believe I'll take the rest of the day off from reading the news. Instead, I'll look at funny cat memes and read stories about magic and spaceships.
