fuck off, stop pretending this shit is Joe Biden’s fault
sorry, clowns — we’re not as gullible as your cultists
remember those kids you knew back in the day, who would wake up on Christmas morning, tear the wrapping off their presents, and immediately smash the shit out of every single one of their new toys?
remember what they’d do next? they’d come over to your house and smash up yours.
do you know where those psychotic children are today? they’re all grown up and working in the White House.
only now, these reckless despoilers have added a new wrinkle. they’ll look up from the carnage they created, stare you right in the face, and tell you ‘Joe Biden did this.’
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent: “at the meeting in Geneva, when I asked them [China], ‘why didn’t you continue buying soybeans and the other products?’ they had one word, and guess what it was? ‘Biden.’”
CNBC host Joe Kernen: “that sounds like malarkey. come on, man.”
come on, man, indeed. give us some details, Scott. were these Chinese trade representatives big and strong? did they have tears running down their eyes and they intoned over and over, ‘Biden. Biden. Biden’? in fact, are these Chinese trade reps in the room with us right now?
fact check: fuck off, you condescending cum-sock. it not Joe Biden’s fault that China is not buying one single American soybean — it’s due to Dear Leader’s incoherent tariffs.
between 2021-2024 — during the Biden presidency — China accounted for half of US soybean exports. since Donny’s taken office, soybean exports to China have trickled down to where they sit now: at a big fat zero.
why? because Donny’s made it impossible for China to do business with us. America’s Mad King is too unstable. on Monday, he’ll set tariffs at twenty percent. on Tuesday, the barking noises in his head will tell him, no, fifty. Wednesday, he’ll announce a pause, only to wake up in a bad mood on Thursday and say the tariffs are back on. is it any wonder the Chinese eventually said ‘cāo zhège,’ walked away, and started buying their soybeans from Brazil and Argentina?
would you want to deal with an unpleasant, erratic imbecile? no, you wouldn’t — and neither do the Chinese. so now, American soybean farmers are freaking the fuck out, and will need to be bailed out — just as they were during the Mad King’s first reign.
basically, Donny’s dragged the economy out back to the gravel pit and shot it between the eyes — and now, when Americans are asking ‘where’s Economy?’, that insufferable prick Scott Bessent wants us to believe this is all Joe Biden’s fault. fuck off, you smirking jackass.
ugh. look at this self-satisfied douche canoe. you just know he serenely believes he’s always the smartest guy in the room.
hey, here’s a fun thing that Bessent said back in May, about Dear Leader’s negotiating prowess.
Jake Tapper: “the one thing I hear from almost every small business owner is the uncertainty. they don’t know how to plan for the future because they have no idea what’s gonna come.”
Scott Bessent: “strategic uncertainty is a negotiating tactic.”
ok, Scotty — five months have passed since you blithered that utter fucking nonsense. so how has ‘strategic uncertainty’ worked out for us?
here’s how: America’s economy is circling the drain. private industry is no longer growing — in fact, we’ve lost jobs in three of the last four months.
Privately run businesses eliminated jobs in September for the third time in four months, ADP said, in another sign of emerging weakness in the labor market that alarmed the Federal Reserve enough to cut interest rates two weeks ago.
The private sector culled 32,000 jobs last month, according to ADP, the nation’s largest processor of payroll checks.
Monthly employment has fallen three times since June to mark the worst stretch for the labor market since the pandemic.
that’s right, the last time the economy was doing this poorly was when we were all hunkered down, afraid to leave our houses for fear of dying from a virus.
and now, soybeans are rotting in the fields of American farms — because our largest trading partner has told us to go fuck ourselves.
so I ask you again, Scotty: how has ‘strategic uncertainty’ worked out for us?
Bessent’s a gazillionaire plutocrat. he’ll be absolutely fine no matter how badly Preznit Fuckwit crashes our economy.
you and me? not so much — and, once again, Scotty Fuckface wants you to believe that somehow this is all Joe Biden’s fault.
oh, please.
aside from the brain-dead cultists, no one is being fooled by this shit. they know that none of this fuckery is Joe Biden’s fault — just as they know that this government shutdown is the Republicans’ fault.
Donny and the GOP are getting hammered in the polls right now.
naturally, Republicans are in deep denial.
Brianna Keilar: “seven in ten Americans side with Democrats in saying Obamacare subsidies should be extended. we’re joined now by Republican Congressman Rick McCormick of Georgia. it’s a really interesting poll, because it shows a lot more people are blaming the president and congressional Republicans than Democrats. yes, there are a lot of people who aren’t really sure what do think at this point, but how are you seeing this?
McCormick: “polling is not very accurate because the pollsters generally get out of it what they want. I don’t trust those polls.”
boo fucking hoo, Rich. go ahead, live in denial. hey, I have an idea — don’t call them bad polls, call them strategically uncertain polls. after all, look how well that shit worked for Scott Bessent.
remember, Republicans could end this shutdown in a second — they control all three branches of government. but they don’t want to end the shutdown.
these sadists want Americans — particularly, Americans in Democratic states — to suffer, and they’re using the shutdown as cover to perpetrate their fuckery.
Russ Vought — the architect of Project 2025 who is now the Director of the Office of Management and Budget — is pissing himself with glee right now. he’s firing government workers who don’t need to be fired, and defunding government programs that don’t need to be defunded.
all this is part of Vought’s Project 2025 wet dream to turn America into a Christian Nationalist dictatorship with Donny Convict permanently installed as King Fuckface the First. he’s been plotting this shit for years.
and Republicans want you to think that all this is the Democrats’ fault. Joe Biden’s fault, too, somehow — even though he’s been out of office for nearly ten months.
keep dreaming, assholes. we’re not as gullible as your cultists.
meanwhile, the Donnywatch enters its third day.
the deteriorating old dotard hasn’t been seen in public since he shit the bed on Tuesday at Piss-Drunk Pete’s Big Hunkin’ WarriorFest. will today be the day Donny finally comes out of his hidey hole?
Donny has only one item on his official schedule today.
will the swearing in ceremony even take place? will it happen in private, without the assembled press who Donny loves to preen in front of?
look, I’m not the only one who’s noticed. Governor Newsom’s press office has the same question.
“HAS ANYONE SEEN DOZY DON SINCE HE SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT? ARE STAFF POSTING SINCE ‘THE STROKE?’”
it’s a legit question.
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.

I would have had this post finished up half an hour sooner, but the town was repaving the cul de sac that my house is on, and the ten-year-old boy in me kept wanting to watch it happen
"WE’RE not as gullible as your cultists"
yes, I really did put a typo in the subhead of today's post. UGH. way to be a fucking idiot, Jeffrey
