It may be time for you to think about selling merch. You have your own brand of quips and quotes, and I am here for it. Who else writes phrases like,"fire-hose of five-alarm fucknuttery"? What an awesome v-neck t-shirt would that be? OTOH, take Bill Watterson who refused all offers to license Calvin & Hobbes to preserve the subtleties and integrity of his work by keeping it only in the strip. That seems like a righteous mindset or a missed opportunity to make millions annually or both. If you do go the mugs and t-shirt route, you will have at least one customer. If you have already done it, we need links.

Holding up a mirror to the fool as he pulls his pants down and shows his ass doesn't have much effect. On him or his followers. They just pull their pants down in solidarity.

What might be effective is the Not Stupids to coordinate to work around the idiots. (See Kornbluth's story Marching Morons.) The Deep State (competent government workers) must become even more effective. For example, DeJoy and the Postal Service. He's tried to fuck up the service but the postal workers are doing their best to deliver the mail. Same with all the other departments Donnie tries to destroy. Even the MAGAs have manners and courtesy and have pride in their jobs.

As a result of discussions with my postal carrier over the years, I've considered that Trump's plan is to privatize mail delivery and hand it to Amazon. Bezos kissing the ring moves that possibility forward in my mind.

Expand full comment
Marla's avatar

Seeing as how Amazon uses the USPS for 'last mile' delivery, I can't see that happening.

Also, the Postal Service is established in the Constitution as one of the duties of Congress. Article I, Section 8: "The Congress shall have Power To establish Post Offices and post Roads"

Also, the USPS is mandated to deliver the mail to every address, no matter how remote. No for profit business could ever take that on. They'd lose a bundle.

Oh wait.

Don't you remember that picture of Melania giving Trudeau an air kiss with Trump standing right next to her? I've NEVER seen her look at Diaper Don the way she looked at Justin. Even when she was dating the loser. August, 2019. She had on a red dress. Just Google her name and Trudeau's. Trump is an extremely insecure moron and how much of him dumping on Canada now has to do with Trudeau and the look his wife gave him (Trudeau). I bet Trump can't stand the way his pretty wife looked at a handsome man and it sure wasn't his ugly ass she was looking at.

As a Canadian, I would have absolutely no problem telling that disrespectful, moronic Orange Wanker to fuck straight off. To his disgusting face. Ditto any of his equally moronic supporters. That daft beggar and his unqualified, day-drunk asskissers couldn't find Ottawa on a map with both hands and a flashlight.

Here’s the sad thing. While Trudeau has stayed above the fray, we have Pierre Poillievre, leader of the Conservative Party, waiting in the wings. This obsequious, whinging little twat is like a very lite version of Trump. And many Canadians believe his “Canada is broken” or recycled slogans like “Axe the tax” rhetoric. He is playing directly from Trump’s playbook. Like Trump, the Conservatives have many concepts and slogans but very little in the way of policies. But people are buying into it. Not as overtly as the MAGAs.

I voted Conservative until the last election. I already told my Member of Parliament (MP) I won’t be voting for him. A vote for my MP, whom I actually like, is a vote for Poillievre. But next year, Trump will likely have a spineless “governor” as PM. It won't be good for us, and it may not be good for you either.

Expand full comment
L Turner's avatar

I’m a Canadian too, and I also despise Poilievre. He wants to be the PM of a country he seemingly doesn’t like at all - he never has a positive thing to say about Canada and he can’t open his mouth without blaming Trudeau for something. Empty slogans and a smarmy personality are all he has.

I’d suggest that Poilievre move to the US to be with his idol Trump - but that would be cruel to Americans.

The Senators are terrified of being primaried...as long as they stay tight, in an anomalous group, it's hard to single out any one Senator to bully with the threats of being primaried. Like life on the Serengeti, when one Senator gets cut out of and separated from the herd, that's when the bullying (the Trump lions and hyaenas) get to them.

Case in point: Senator Joni Ernst was rather vehement against voting to confirm the DoD nom "pissing drunk Pete" Hegseth until the Senator got singled out from the herd. Then she started making conciliatory noises and now the "dead in the water" nomination of a completely UNSUITABLE nomination for Secretary of Defense is not so dead. Damn it all.

Where oh where is the MSM, hounding the Mango to make sense of anything he says? Let’s imagine Kamala Harris being interviewed on Meet The Press, and she accuses the interviewer of being nasty and conducting an interview that never happened. JFC, it would have been nonstop cries for her head. When it’s the Porcupine (I just call him that because he reminds me of Larry from the Three Stooges), we get…crickets. Oh, and wall-to-wall coverage of one rich dude getting murdered.

All the wailing about the social media reaction to said murder is just hilarious to me. WaPo was sanctimoniously sermonizing about how awful it is that so many are so cruel. Do they not see that cruelty is the whole point of MAGA? My fucking fish know it!

Rick Calegari's avatar

WaPo doesn't see shit just like most of the media these days. I couldn't watch that Meet the Mess interview but a couple of the clips I did see were beyond appalling. Imagine a newly elected president in more normal times saying that the 1/6 rioters had no choice but to go after the police? WTF! If a newly elected Dem said that shit, the Howler monkeys of the GOP and the media would've been all over it like a wet blanket. Looking forward to the new 1/6 report from Jack Smith before inauguration day which I won't watch and hoping that it's the least watched and has the lowest attendance in history.

I have committed several times that our elected officials on both sides had better pay attention to that simmering rage & take that as a cue that they had better shape up & start getting rid of the corruption in their own ranks & also re-regulate these giant corporations that are sucking the lifeblood out of this country. They ignore it at the peril of inviting an actual armed revolution, an uprising of the downtrodden & oppressed.

How he threw his own people under the bus to the DOJ to cover his ass. He informs on both sides. All the shit ton of crimes he committed. Garland knows it. They all know it. And the mother fuckers did nothing to stop this. How corrupt are we as a nation? We're about to find out.
