a police state, but with morons

Donny and his Sewer Clowns suck at fascism — like everything else they do

when Donny Bone Spurs sent the National Guard to quote-unquote ‘bring order’ to the completely-avoidable ‘crisis’ he manufactured, do you know what he didn’t send along with them? anything for the Guard to eat, or drink. any place for them to sleep, or shit.

he just unceremoniously dumped them in the middle of Los Angeles without planning or forethought, and said sayonara, fucknuggets, you’re on your own. why? because Donny is an incompetent imbecile, and that’s how incompetent imbeciles roll.

look at this dumb-assery.

that’s the California National Guard, trying to sleep on the floor of a warehouse basement in downtown Los Angeles.

this is your National Guard, ladies and gentlemen. hungry, tired, thirsty, and forced to sleep piled up on top of one another — because apparently, it didn’t dawn on anyone at the top that food, water, or places to sleep and shit might be necessary for the Guard during an open-ended deployment.

“This is what happens when the president and (Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth) demand the National Guard state assets deploy immediately with no plan in place … (and) no federal funding available for food, water, fuel and lodging,” the source said. “This is really the failure of the federal government. If you’re going to federalize these troops, then take care of them.”

“Currently, there is no plan for where everyone is sleeping tonight,” the source said, adding that there was an urgent need to find more portable bathrooms and dumpsters for garbage.

isn’t it heartening to know that ‘because fuck you, that’s why’ also extends to the brave men and women who serve our country?

this is the level of expertise that Donny brings to his job: zero.

never forget that as powerful as the position of United States President is, Donny totally fucking sucks at his job — and all his Sewer Clowns suck at their jobs, too.

here’s a fun fact:

When called into federal service, the National Guard becomes part of the Department of Defense

that means that the federalized Guard in Los Angeles is currently the responsibility of the Fox News dunk-tank clown who the Mad King decided would make the perfect Secretary of Defense.

do you think the tipsy chat-show host who now runs the DoD knows — or cares — about logistics? fuck no, he does not. but you know what SecDef Kegstand does have? his own really cool makeup studio in the Pentagon, so his hair will be perfect at all times.

priorities!

this macho-obsessed uber-bro never stops yammering about warfighters and battle readiness — and what does he do during the first test of his mettle? he tanks it.

fuck me, a carload of drag queens could have done a better job of feeding the Guard.

now let’s watch Donny Convict completely suck at his job.

reporter: “Gavin Newsom is daring Tom Homan to come and arrest him. should he do it?”

Donny: “I would do it, if I were Tom … I think it would be a great thing.”

reporters caught up with Donny again later in the White House, and they were all ‘arrest Gavin Newsom? for what crime, exactly?’

reporter: “what crime has Gavin Newsom committed?”

Donny: “what crime has he committed? I think his primarily— his primary crime is running for governor.”

perfectly normal stuff, the chief executive of the land deciding ad hoc that doing stuff I don’t like is now a crime. Donny wasn’t joking. there’s no smile on his face, or levity in his tone of voice.

nothing to see here, folks, just a spiteful, vindictive Mad King, making shit up as he goes along — exactly as our founders intended when they drafted the Constitution.

let’s back up a bit. the whole reason for the exchanges between Donny and the reporters was ‘border czar’ Tom Homan’s weekend threat to arrest Newsom if he tries to ‘interfere’ with the ICE’s Los Angeles raids — a threat to which Newsom replied, bring it, shitnozzle.

“the fear, the horror, who the hell is this guy? come after me, arrest me, let’s just get this over with, tough guy.”

now, here’s a cool fact about being Donny’s ‘border czar’: it’s a made-up job. Homan wasn’t confirmed by the Senate, and doesn’t actually work for any government agency.

Tom’s job is to puff out his chest and make racist-as-fuck proclamations — but he can’t arrest anybody. he doesn’t have that power.

while we’re on the subject of Donny’s Racism Czar — what’s with the Fidel Castro cosplay?

Tom Homan apparently believes his job now entails playing dress-up and preening for the camera. dude, sit the fuck down. you’re a bureaucrat, not a background extra in some action movie.

Tom must have gotten jealous of all the airtime ICE Barbie was getting.

hey, maybe Kristi Noem can lend Tommy one of those cool guns, so he can wave it around while he makes impotent threats to arrest all the people he can’t.

now let’s watch some Fox News yammerheads suck at their jobs.

Fox: “what do you say to her point and Gavin Newsom making the same point that all the chaos and everything you’re seeing now is because ICE showed up on the scene, that everything was peaceful up until that moment.”

DHS official Tricia McLaughlin: “that’s absolutely ridiculous. it’s just on Friday night, we— when LAPD was not responding for two hours, our ICE office was surrounded by a thousand protestors. they were uh lighting American flags on fire. burning them as they were hoisting up foreign flags. it’s un-American activity going on, and it was becoming very violent. they were pummeling our ICE enforcement officers with rocks.”

here’s a pro tip for Fox: when making the case that all of Los Angeles is a violent, lawless hellhole, don’t support that case by showing live feed of a people swaying to music in LA’s downtown.

also, if Fox is making the case that ‘hoisting up foreign flags’ is now an ‘un-American activity’ — tell me, is this a foreign flag?

these, to refresh everyone’s memory, are the homeys Donny described as “very fine people” as they marched in Charlottesville in 2017.

how about this dude?

bro here seems a bit confused about which America he belongs to.

here’s a map that that I want you to keep in mind as you listen to Donny and the Sewer Clowns — aided and abetted by the entire wingnut outrage/industrial complex — work overtime to convince you that the entirety of Los Angeles has been ‘swarmed’ by commie anarchists, and that the entire city is consumed by fire and violence.

it was sent to me by commenter Alison Parker, but I didn’t receive it in time to include it in the emailed version of yesterday’s post.

this is the City of Los Angeles. circled in red is the downtown area where the protests are.

so please, Donny, tell us again how all of Los Angeles has been ‘overrun’ by ‘insurrectionists.’ it’s such a cute story.

here’s your quote of the day.

that’s us. let’s fucking go.

here’s your daily reminder that I can be found on Blue Sky at this link.

this is going to be my closing message for the foreseeable future:

practice self-care. do what you need to do to keep sane. if that means you need to disengage with my daily posts for a while, I get it. this community of ours will still be here when you return.

to all the people who have signed on in the days since the election, welcome aboard. settle in as we all try to deal with the shitfuckery that’s ahead of us.

we are all in this together, and we are all here for each other.
