Politics & Rule

    'When you're famous, they let you . . .'

    “When you’re famous, they let you grab ‘em by the pussy,” bragged a choad from Queens. But in 2020–21 we didn’t let him. He lost the election and his coup too.

    Now the butthurt swine is fucking the entire country. He’s letting Musk and Putin have a go too.

    “When you’re famous, they let you do it. If they don’t, you must do it anyway. You must say it’s all their fault because they didn’t negotiate, I mean, submit.”

    “Now stop complaining, Republican senators. Say Daddy’s name like you mean it! You, too, Ukraine. You know you want it!”

    The U.S.–Russia talks in Saudi Arabia have proven once again that Ukraine is ground zero for the war against democracy. Unfortunately, the U.S. doesn’t give a rat’s ass about democracy—or ethnic cleansing or genocide. We’ve done evil before, but never so openly, stridently, or proudly.

    The pope is ill. Who will Orange Ogre replace him with? Perchance himself?   /sarcasm

    The federal government is now using force to suppress knowledge of the history of violence against Black people. Remembering the past is too painful for these weak tyrants, so they tyrannize the brave who would teach or learn it.

    Who’s going to be the first cabinet member to go? Rubio because of the impossible negotiating position his boss and colleagues have placed him in? Hegseth because he looks even weaker and dumber than his boss on the international stage? Or will a natural or manmade disaster cost another their head?

    🎙️ On one of my long drives last week, I heard Timothy Snyder talk about freedom in a helpful way in the “Explaining Ukraine” podcast. Far from being an absence of various restrictions, it is a thing we actively cultivate in our own everyday life practices. “Why is freedom not a given but a task?"

    A barrage of stupid is making it nearly impossible to see or think clearly, let alone argue cogently and persuade. M. Gessen offers a helpful diagnosis in their latest, but how do we, the collective patient, develop a cure?"

    Make America a reviled laughingstock! MAARL isn’t as catchy as MAGA, but it’s more accurate. And it captures something of the vomiting sound so many of us are making.

    Felonious Husk underlings fire bird flu, not realizing it is a crucial ally in their effort to destroy the country.

    The plot of “The Manchurian Candidate” relied on a convoluted brainwashing technique to get an American to attack his own country. Who knew that a simple venal carnival barker from Queens and a lunatic South African fan of Apartheid and Nazism could achieve a much more impressive result?

    Let the great eugenicist experiment begin! RFK Jr.’s terrifying Senate confirmation puts the U.S. withdrawal from the WHO in a foul new light. Ditto Felonious Husk’s freezing of USAID funds.

    It must be rough to have many billions but to not know love, friendship, or respect.

    Diplomacy 101: Orange Oaf’s threats are going to lose their value as fast as Putin’s nuclear saber rattling has. It sure would be nice if Orangina deigned to surround himself with people in possession of expertise and experience.

    Orange Oaf is setting up a mediocre cadre of leaders who will only tell him YES. And why not? This approach has been working out real well for the bare-chested judoist of the Kremlin, who’s losing hundreds of thousands in Ukraine.

    Translations from MAGA to English:

    • merit – good-for-nothing
    • meritocracy – mediocracy
    • patriot – sucker
    • taxpayer – sucker

    It’s hard to look at the coming constitutional crisis and not think of Prussia’s constitutional crisis of 1858–64. But instead of Bismarck, we’ve got Boris and Natasha role-playing leaders.

    I don’t understand how tariffs are supposed to foster American industry. How is investing in a country led by a criminal lunatic a sound plan?

    Xi Jinping must be feeling really good. Putin’s worn down his army in a bid to end Ukrainian state- and nationhood. Felonious Husk is gutting the U.S. federal government from within, snuffing out crucial expertise. And Hegseth is leading the Pentagon—enough said.

    Ethnic cleansing as daring do—if Orange Donald’s own country doesn’t move to try him and his collaborators in the end, other countries will.

    King Donald as nation builder in the Middle East. It’ll be a snap with the U.S. armed forces at his command. He just needs a few more weeks to undermine everything that once made America a great power.

    This will not end well for Felonious Husk. I just wish he wasn’t so intent on taking the rest of us with him.
