Irritants and Images

Some things annoying the hell outta me this morning:

1.  My ingrown toenail. I’ve never had one before and didn’t know what it was. I felt sure my foot was rotting off. It HAD to be gangrene or root rot or something else desperately serious. Right? I mean, it’s not like I come down with easy, run of the mill, boring-ass illnesses like basic common colds, right?

Nope, it’s just a standard, no frills ingrown toenail. Nothing to get excited about. WHY isn’t this all better yet though?!

2.  Headline in The Guardian this morning 'Something good just may be happening,' Trump says on Ukraine talks…

Oh fucking PLEASE. Just spare me. This is just more of the same bullshit reality tv teaser crap. The man (and I use the term loosely in regard to Prez Pedo) is completely out of touch with what’s actually happening in the world. For him, war and peace are no more than story arcs in his presidential reality tv series.

'Something good just may be happening’ – he’s just teasing the next episode. WILL Zelenskyy get off the island. STAY TUNED!

3.  Being deaf. This is complicated. On one hand, there are serious benefits, like:

I’m unbothered by:

• Big ego-ed, mansplaining midget dicks. They tend not to have the patience required to smoothly posture and preen at me – especially when I insistently make it clear that I don’t read lips and they’ll need to write out by hand whatever they wish to communicate.

• Tantruming toddlers and crying babies

• People talking loudly on their phones in public

   BUT I DEEPLY miss:

• Music (major understatement!)

• Hearing accents. Jen, Oni, and I just watched an episode of Shetland and I SO wish I could hear how the actors speak. I wonder if the accents are accurate. 

I was remembering the last time I was up in the Orkney Islands.  I was at a cèilidh with a bunch of folk from Scotland as well as native Orcadians. I still had hearing then and had no trouble understanding the Weegies and Inversneckies but the Orkneymen? Oof! I felt like such an idiot every time I had to ask them to say that again slower.

By the by, when you hear Boston accents on television or in the movies they’re rarely true. 

• I miss the sound of the rain, the wind in the tall grass, the waves falling, and meows.

4.  The Supreme Court 

5. Leon Musk and his anti-democracy troll army who masquerade as American patriots. The trolls hail from Eastern Europe, Russia, Bangladesh, Nigeria, and India. Dude really needs to go the way of all Spinal Tap drummers. I’m partial to him suffering Mick Shrimpton’s or, better still, Chris "Poppa" Cadeau’s fate. Your thoughts?

AND now some pics.

Random Bits

I only mention it but our lovely ancestors, the Stegosaurus, died off 150 million years ago. They went extinct 84 million years before Tyrannosaurus even began hangin' 'round down the local pub.

Our buddies, the Tyrannosaurus rex, as a species, took the last train for the coast a measly 66 million years ago. 

What am I saying here? You and me? We’re closer in time to the T-Rex than the T-Rex were to the Stegosaurus. Huh.

There ya go, something you may not have known unless you have dino obsessed kindergarteners.

Six of the nine Allston Car Wash workers who were kidnapped by ICE thugs earlier this month, have been granted bail. A Chelmsford, MA immigration judge ordered three more workers to be freed at a hearing on Thursday. 

At least one of the arrested workers is a U.S. citizen and all had proper work permits too. ICE isn’t what anyone would consider diligently accurate, exact or in any way competent in their work habits. Fuckers. They’re all low watt, violence prone, racist, failures who’d only benefit this world by leaving it.

What’s up up with the the profoundly asinine, head-up-his-ass, loser who thought he would be hailed as a real MAGA hero for repeatedly calling the ICE tip line on brown car wash workers? Anchor baby Zac Segal (supposedly born in Florida to British parents and raised in England) is still enrolled at Boston University and still president of their little College Republicans club. He’s not terribly popular though – not even with his fellow Republicans.

The women of the Boston University College Republicans have since condemned Segal’s actions and called for his removal from office.

“We will no longer affiliate with BUCR until an apology is issued and new leadership is provided,” they wrote in a statement obtained by student newspaper The Daily Free Press. (source) 

I don’t think little Zac’s gonna be getting lucky anytime soon – at least not in Boston. Maybe he’d have better luck in Florida, Utah, or Texas. The universities aren’t as good but the politics would be more in line with his microscopic, bigoted brain.

Did you know – Michael Douglas is still around. He’s still hot too. Yes, I know, I know…he’s 81 years old now. He’s old but I’m not so much younger  (ok, 14 years. For perspective, The Amazing Bob was 17 years older than me and he was a flat out stunning motherfucker to the very end). 

ANYWAY, Jen, Oni and I have just started watching the show The Kominsky Method.

Acting coach Sandy Kominsky and best friend Norman Newlander keep each other laughing as they navigate the ups and downs of getting older. (source) 

Douglas plays Kominsky, the acting coach and Alan Arkin plays his agent, Norman Newlander. I absolutely LOVE their relationship. It reminds me so much of me and Jen.

When Norman tells Sandy he didn’t get a sitcom part he went for, “but they say they’ll keep you in mind for a recurring role or a cameo”, Sandy tells him not to sugarcoat things. “I’m not sugarcoating,” Norman says. “I’m lying.” (source) 

Yes, this is how we communicate. Also with sign language – i.e., we flip each other the bird on the regular.

Hey, if you can’t tell your bestie to fuck off (with a smile, dammit), what is life REALLY all about? I’m asking you!

Is this the real life?

What is this place we’re now in? Is this reality?

I mean, just look at yesterday.

Trump was looking up at Mamdani like he’s his new, most loved murderous dictator. Stinky’s certainly never looked at Melania or even Putin with that level of adoration. It was, perhaps, as though Zohran was his favorite son – the one he just doesn’t see anywhere near enough.

When a reporter asked Mamdani about having previously labeled Trump a “fascist,” Trump basically gave him permission to say such things. 

 “That’s ok. You can just say yes,” Trump said. “That’s easier. It’s easier than explaining.” 

Likewise, when it was noted that Mamdani had called Trump a despot, Trump volunteered: “I’ve been called much worse than a despot.”  (source) 

I’m betting Demento Don’s bio sons, Beavis, Butt-head, and the one who tortures small animals are all horribly jealous. Okay, probably not the small animal torturer – he’s too busy offing the neighbor's cat.

What’s with Trump’s about face? Wasn’t he, pre-election, calling Mamdani a “100% Communist Lunatic” and a jihadist? The Hill's Julia Manchester says that a source tells her that they ‘think this pours gasoline on the internal war within the Dems.’ How Machiavellian. I don’t think it makes sense to give sundowning Prez Shitzenpantz credit for the ability to intentionally perform political Jiu-Jitsu. 

Nope. Trump is just wildly impressed by people who are popular, charismatic, well liked, smart, well connected, and, seem to be all this effortlessly. Mamdani is all this. He glows. Reminds me of Obama.

AND yesterday Madge Greene announced that she’s quitting?

Seriously. She announced that she’s resigning from her bully pulpit. Her last day in office will be January 5, 2026. Maybe she needs more time to stalk and harass school shooting survivors. Or, as Jeff Tiedrich said, she’s is stepping down from Congress in order to spend more time with the barking noises inside her head.

Interesting. I wonder what the backstory on this is. I’m betting it’s some mix of having already made sufficient mountains ‘o’ insider-trading-cash, the gig’s getting to be too much damn work with too many headaches, she’s already got enough years in so all the cushy benefits have kicked in, and running for re-election wouldn’t be as much fun if she can’t be full blown feral Q MAGA anymore. 

I’ve seen more than a few people suggest that she’s planning to run for president. Maybe that’s what her recent shift away from her usual whackaloon racist theatrics, wild conspiracy theories, and cheerleading for the execution of Dem leaders such as Nancy Pelosi, former President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, and FBI agents is all about. She’s trying to appear sane in order to broaden her appeal beyond the MAGA base.

I’ve got news for little Miss Crazy Pants, even the MAGAts aren’t gonna be 100% behind her.

On paper, Greene has a lot going for her as Trump’s heir apparent, and she likely will get checkbooks flinging open. But there’s one big, glaring reason she’s delusional if she really thinks she can secure the Republican nomination.

Yes, it’s the obvious one: She’s a woman. MAGA will never accept a woman as their leader.
~~~
Even the right’s mightiest powers of denial can’t hide that a woman who wants the Oval Office is ambitious, an unacceptable quality for a proper MAGA lady. Greene has a lot of qualities Republican voters apparently like. She’s entitled and loud, and she can be mean. But that’s what they want from men. They still think it’s unseemly in a woman. (source) 

Honestly, ol’ dead Charlie Manson has a better chance of winning the Republican nomination for prez than a woman – even one as batshit looney toons as Madge.

I wonder if she’ll find time to read the Epstein victim names into the public record before she goes. I mean, she’s ALL about grabbing the spotlight and naming big names. Exposing the major pedos on record would certainly earn her ALL the attention.

THAT’S a bomb I’d love to see drop.

Bohemian Rhapsody – Queen 

What a Week!

I understand perpetually plastered Pete Kegsbreath’s Department of WAR accidentally invaded Mexico on Monday. *OOPSIE*

The Pentagon, in a deeply embarrassing statement, admitted that its troops were mistaken when they landed on the beach. (source)

Then, yesterday Prez Pedo was all hot to hang or otherwise delete Democratic lawmakers. Why? For them urging service members to refuse to obey unlawful commands, which, I only mention it, is required by law and shit.

I guess Stinky was all excited and inspired after the meeting with his extra special, smirking, murderous crush, Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud (AKA MBS) on Wednesday. You remember MBS, right? He’s the prince guy who ordered the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who was working for the Washington Post. Khashoggi was offed in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, his body dismembered while his fiancé, not knowing what the hold up was, waited for him out front.

Karoline Lievitt later claimed that Trumpy doesn't want to execute the Dems and that's not really what he said...or something. The dog whistle's been sounded though. The Orange Obscenity’s faithful trigger happy stooges will be stone thrilled to go out and murder Democrats in Dear Leader’s name. Just ask Melissa and Mark Hortman…oh wait. Too late.

"I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."
~ Senator Mark Kelly 

Apparently, Cuntface Kristi has made being a pedophile and/or a rapist a requirement for ICEholes. One of her slimy sadists got caught in a sex trafficking sting and said to the cops Hey, it’s cool, I’m ICE, boys. I can do whatever i want, so you can just let me go now.

“I’m ICE boys”  He really said that. The condescending, entitled, midget dicked, pedo actually said that. He thought being ICE gave him a free pass to sell a teenage girl into sex slavery.

How many more sexual predators are working for ICE? Or, given their pedo piggy leader, maybe they’re all pedophilic predators? It’d be foolishly negligent and dangerous not to speculate.

This is the same administration that's now allowing nooses and swastikas in the Coast Guard, saying they’re not symbols of hate. This same admin fires people over pride flags. Rainbow flags can get you fired but a noose or a swastika is AOK.

At 3PM yesterday, the Washington Post reported that:

The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, an emblem of fascism and white supremacy inextricably linked to the murder of millions of Jews and that more than 400,000 U.S. troops who died fighting against in World War II, as a hate symbol, according to a new policy that takes effect next month. Instead, the Coast Guard will classify the Nazi-era insignia as ‘potentially divisive’ under its new guidelines.

Oh but wait…at 4PM an update came out on ABC news: 

“Divisive or hate symbols and flags are prohibited,” the latest Coast Guard policy, released late Thursday, declared before adding that this category included “a noose, a swastika, and any symbols or flags co-opted or adopted by hate-based groups.”

“This is not an updated policy but a new policy to combat any misinformation and double down that the U.S. Coast Guard forbids these symbols,” an accompanying Coast Guard press release said.

The Coast Guard comes under Homeland Security so this is the always utterly incompetent Bullshit Barbie’s department.

And House and Senate Republicans are silent – not a peep. How utterly unsurprising.

This is just another Friday in the Decimated States of America.

Today in Aubergines

Yesterday was apparently International Men's Day. Isn't every day though.

I’m declaring today National MicroPeen Day or maybe it’ll be that day when the UNredacted Epstein files are finally released?

The day will be NOT to honor but to remember all the heinous damage caused by those rich bastards with deformed tiny tims who take out their deep insecurities on those unprepared or insufficiently able to protect themselves. 

I mean, just look at the commonalities amongst some of these predators!

Hitler: Just like our Prez Pedo, Hitler was a druggie. He loved his oxycodone, meth, morphine and cocaine. On top of this, he had Kallmann Syndrome. Symptoms? Itty bitty schmecky, weak sex drive, infertility, and an overwhelming desire to invade Poland.

Okay, maybe everyone who gets Kallman Syndrome doesn’t necessarily want to invade Poland. I suppose if you’re a sufferer in Nebraska, you probably have a burning passion to conquer Kansas or Iowa…maybe South Dakota instead. Mebbe. Who knows.

Jeffrey Epstein: The "Filthy Rich" documentary (which I haven’t seen) and a YouTube clip, reportedly show him being quizzed about his deformed, “egg shaped,” ultra wee willy.

Trump: His tackle’s been described by Stormy Daniels as below average in size, having a mushroom head – like a toadstool , surrounded by “Yeti pubes.” Gross man!

Elon Musk: It’s unclear whether Leon actually possesses a set of equipment or not. I mean, him running around on stage wielding a chainsaw like a drunk waving his pee pee around at some frat party certainly speaks to a total lack of functioning kit.

The word is that he had a botched penile implant – a surgical solution for erectile dysfunction. This is why his 529 kids were conceived via IVF. Penile implant surgery can also be done to enlarge a mini peen. 

Napoleon: Who knows what size it was when he was alive but his mummified organ, which has had quite an interesting post-life existence, is 1.5 inches long and is said to resemble a “maltreated strip of buckskin shoelace.” I suppose I would too after 204 years.

Harvey Weinstein: Serial assaulter and convicted rapist Harv has a tiny, deformed penis.

Joseph James DeAngelo, the Golden State Killer has a micropeen as well.

I’m just sharing facts – noticing trends here.

The Trump Files

 The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. 
~ Often attributed to the 18th century Irish statesman and philosopher Edmund Burke but that seems to be erroneous. 

I only mention it but Miss Piggy and Kermit, after Big Bird, were my favorite Muppets. That disgusting, rotting ogre needs to keep her name out of his mouth.

...such as on Air Force One where a journalist from Bloomberg News tried to ask a follow-up question on the recently released Epstein docs.

“if there’s nothing incriminating in the Epstein files, sir, why not…?”

Prez Pedo responded to her saying: "Quiet. Quiet, piggy.” 

Pat Bagley

Christ, he’s such an enormous embarrassment and a disgrace to all of humanity but most especially to the U.S. Of course.

The fact that he yelled quiet piggy at a woman reporter for asking about the Epstein files just screams HUGE guilty panic on top of the usual hysterical condescension he has for all women who fail to fellate him figuratively or literally.

He really is just a 5’11” 280 pound desperately fragile stack of insecurities and neuroses, wearing an oversized coat of oily narcissism, isn’t he?

In any case, NO ONE said anything in response. Not one word from a single reporter. Why not? Was it shock? Was everyone stunned into silence by Pedo’s crude, middle school, bullying boorishness? Nope. Probably most weren’t willing to put decency and forthrightness into the voice equivalent of 300 point Helvetica Bold. No one wanted to risk their job, possibly their career by standing up to a steaming pile of putrescent, cracked out, lying, hot garbage.

Mike Luckovich

The reporter who asked that Epstein file follow up question obviously had Pedo Prez backed into a corner, on the ropes, sweating. All it would have taken for him to crash out, for the pool to capture an epic Pedo meltdown moment was for one, maybe two other journos to pop in with related questions. How’s about a little bit of press solidarity, huh?

Nope. Didn’t happen.

Wouldn’t it have been cool if every reporter there had followed her, asking “if there’s nothing incriminating in the Epstein files, why haven’t you released them already?”

OR

“If you’re innocent, who are you protecting by NOT releasing the files?”

OR 

“Are you being paid to withhold the files?”

There could have been a singalong. To the children’s tune “If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands," all the journos could have belted out "If you’re innocent and you know it, release the files!"

Pat Bagley

Not only would this have been fun, I believe it would have fostered an alliance, a coalition, a force for good. A firm resistance, if you will.

The Epstein files are made of over 300 gigabytes of data, paper, video, photographs, and audio that live within the FBI’s main electronic case management system, “Sentinel.” These records would include investigative reports and records from the FBI Miami field division’s original Epstein investigation. The bulk of the records would come from the second investigation carried out by the FBI’s New York Office, including memorandums about the investigation and potential targets, locations to be searched, records to be subpoenaed, and hundreds of pages of “302s,” which are the forms that FBI agents use to memorialize what witnesses, victims and suspects said in interviews with investigators. (source) 

I know Prez Pedo said he’ll sign the Epstein files bill once it passes the Senate. We all know the files will have been heavily redacted, though right? I mean, they’ve been with Krazy Kash Patel’s FBI and Bleach Bondi, Pedo’s personal shyster for a while now. 

Will there really be any bombshells left? Anything that’ll get the Orange Obscenity, his family, and that crew of moronic flunkies out of our lives for good? I imagine Prez Pedo will throw a couple of his fellow rapists under the bus in an attempt to appease us peasants. Will he get Musk to fix this for him just like he fixed the election?

How Much Longer?

An ICE agent has been arrested for pulling gun on teenager in Riverside County in California. ICE is claiming the perp isn’t one of them but we all know that Bullshit Barbie and her crew of Brownshirts lie easier than they breath.

The shocking bit, to me, is that an ICE agent has actually been busted. Stephen Nosferatu Miller says that ICE fuckers are legally protected from prosecution and local officials can’t be arrested.

Immigration agents, like other law enforcement officers, have broad protections when conducting official duties. That doesn’t mean they can’t be held legally accountable if they break state or federal law.

“Federal officials are not categorically immune from state criminal prosecution, even while on duty,” Bryna Godar, a lawyer at the University of Wisconsin’s State Democracy Research Initiative, wrote in a July 17 report.
~~~
"Miller’s statement is “wrong on its face”, Steve Vladeck, a Georgetown University constitutional law professor, wrote in his October 27 newsletter.

Federal immigration agents can’t break the law with impunity. (source) 

Well, that’s grand but when the goon squad’s got you locked up in a secret prison a thousand miles from your home aned no one’s telling your family where you are or giving you access to constitutionally mandated lawyer…what happens then?

Remember that slicko Chicago apartment building raid where agents were filmed, like a Hollywood action flick, oh so dramatically rappelling from a helicopter? Made for an impressive TV news clip, didn’t it? Probably gave the entire sadistic, viciously barbaric administration serious wood for days.

Supposedly the building was chock full of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua – just overflowing with ‘em. 

Norelly Eugenia Mejías Cáceres, 37, told me she collapsed and passed out in a hallway as heavily armed agents took away her husband and her barefoot 6-year-old son.

Johandry José Andrade Jiménez, 23, said his three little girls — all in diapers — wailed when agents threw him against the floor.

Naudelys Yeyes, 20, said she pleaded with agents to stop hitting a Venezuelan man she knew. “There are children here,” she told the agents repeatedly, worried about her 4-year-old son who was watching.

Trump officials have said they had intelligence that the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua had taken over the building, and that there were guns, explosives and drugs inside. After the raid, they said they had detained two gang members.

But the administration refused to identify the immigrants they detained or provide evidence about any of its claims. (source) 

ICE is now terrorizing Charlotte, North Carolina. 130 people have been detained (i.e. imprisoned), only 44 of them have a criminal record.

The alleged offences include driving while intoxicated, assault, trespassing, larceny and hit-and-run. One arrested person, according to the commander leading the raids, is a registered sex offender.

Could be true but, when the source is a known, habitual liar and fraud, it’d be smart to doubt and consult other, trustworthy sources. 

Officials insist the surge is aimed at tackling crime, arguing — as the Trump administration has in other cities that have been targeted in similar raids — that local authorities have failed to ensure law and order.
~~~
However, local leaders have objected to the raids and pointed to police data, which shows that crime has been declining. (source) 

Overall crime is down 8% in Charlotte and violent crime is down 20%. As uszh, the administration is lying their ugly fucking asses off. How much longer are we going to put up with this insanity from Blowjob Boy, his puppet masters and hate addicted sycophants?

20,000 Docs

With the windchill factor it’s 17 bloody degrees Fahrenheit outside this morning! I am NOT ready for this. Luckily, I don't have to venture out today.

Remember how, last Wednesday, the US House Oversight Committee dumped 20,000 docs from old dead Jeffy Ep’s estate? These files are chock full of junk (like videos of dogs playing with Trump and Hillary Clinton plushies – no, fer realies) as well as incriminating evidence. HOW to find evidence amongst all the dross?

The website Courier created a handy dandy searchable database. Check it out!

To make this massive data dump more accessible, COURIER has compiled the 20,000 documents from Epstein’s estate into an easily searchable repository via Google Pinpoint. Use the search tool here. 

Jim Morin

Awesome!

Little Mikey Johnson says that Prez Pedo has "clean hands." Oh sure he does. Dude, NO ONE’S buying that shit! Trump’s mentioned 1.628 times in the 20,000 docs that have been dumped SO FAR. That’s more mentions than anyone else including Jeffers and these are HIS damn files. Dunno Mikey, seems your boy’s hands are covered in schmutz.

Thomas Massie, the Republican rep from Kentucky who is the co-sponsor of the bill to release the files has warned his pedo supporting fascist mates:

"Donald Trump can protect you in red districts right now by giving you an endorsement. But in 2030, he's not going to be the president, and you will have voted to protect pedophiles if you don't vote to release these files. And the president can't protect you then, this vote -- the record of this vote will last longer than Donald Trump's presidency.” (source) 

Basically, this is a career killer. Once Trump’s gone, so are they if the continue to protect child rapists. Massie’s not advising them to do what’s ethical, honorable, and just – he’s telling them to think about their careers, reputations, and bank accounts. Why? Because he damn well knows that his fellow Republican reps don’t give a fuck about anything else besides themselves. They’re not in their phony-baloney jobs to serve the people of their districts. They’re in it for bucks, power, and perks. Massie’s talking to them in language that maybe they’ll understand.

I wouldn’t bet on it though.

Meanwhile, last night Prez Pedo, amongst other things (such as attacking his former bestie Madge Greene), switched course and called for releasing the Kraken…I mean files.

Trump repeated White House dismissals of the attention over the files as a Democrat-led "hoax" to "deflect" attention away from his party's work.

"The Department of Justice has already turned over tens of thousands of pages to the Public on 'Epstein,' are looking at various Democrat operatives (Bill Clinton, Reid Hoffman, Larry Summers, etc.) and their relationship to Epstein, and the House Oversight Committee can have whatever they are legally entitled to, I DON'T CARE!," he wrote on his Truth social platform. (source) 

So, it’s still a hoax, the House Oversight Committee can have whatever but the Department of Justice (AKA his pet legal team headed up by his faithful lapdog Bleach Bondi) will ONLY look at the names of Democrats who pop up in the files? If there’s an R after the name, dude gets a free pass? Do I have that right?

Ya know what? I’m gonna be smart today and avoid the news and Threads. I’ve recently begun a new mystery, Seven Reasons to Murder Your Dinner Guests by K.J. Whittle, and I’m loving it. It appears to be her first book. I’m not even halfway through and looking forward to the next one.
