it’s a Sewer Clown shit-show — and all of them are dumb as fuck
how does the head of FEMA not know about hurricane season?
it’s a well-known fact that expertise is not the Confederacy of Sewer Clowns’ strong suit. pretty much the whole worthless lot of them are low-voltage ignoramuses who don’t know shit about shit.
look no further than the Secretary of Health and Human Services. he doesn’t know how germs work. the Director of Homeland Security doesn’t know how human rights work. the Defense Secretary doesn’t know how sobriety works. neither does the Attorney for the District of Columbia.
how about the imbecile who rules them all? Dear Leader hasn’t a clue how not being a ginormous fuckwad works.
so none of us should be surprised that, when asked if he was ready for hurricane season, Donny’s new head of FEMA was all ‘hurri-what now?’
Staff of the Federal Emergency Management Agency were left baffled on Monday after the head of the U.S. disaster agency said he had not been aware the country has a hurricane season, according to four sources familiar with the situation.
The remark was made during a briefing by David Richardson, who has led FEMA since early May.
hurricane season, David. how do you not know about hurricane season? look, bro, let me explain. every year, starting in June and continuing through November, conditions in the Caribbean— holy shit, David, did your eyes glaze over already? what the fuck?
where does Donny find these people?
the obvious guess would be Fox News — but I’m looking at Richardson’s bio page at FEMA.com and he’s not from Fox. another fun fact gleaned from David’s bio is that he’s a combat veteran and an expert in dealing with WMDs — which is pretty fucking cool, but not a qualification to head FEMA. in fact, there’s nothing in his resume about emergency management, which — spoiler alert — is what the E and the M in FEMA stand for.
look, I know that Mad King Donny hates FEMA and wants to kill it — and the best way to do that is hire some unqualified toady to mismanage the shit out of the joint — but how did this guy somehow not even hear about hurricane season by accident?
it’s fucking impressive that David Richardson has apparently gone his whole life without walking past a TV, hearing the words ‘hurricane season,’ and having it sink into his dome by osmosis.
Richardson now claims he was just joshing. yeah, right. that’s the standard Sewer Clown dodge whenever one of them gets caught committing a stupid. come one, it was all a big joke. where’s your sense of humor?
fact check: the ignorance. it burns.
while we’re on the subject of not knowing, White House Energy Vampire Colin Robinson Kevin Hassett apparently doesn’t understand how the passage of time works.
George Stephanopoulos: “when will we see an actual trade agreement? will we see any this week?”
Hassett: “I expected we were probably going to see one perhaps as early as last week.”
very nice Jedi mind trick there from Kevin Hassett. when asked if something will happen this week, Kevin makes a bold prediction about what will happen last week — and then gets it wrong.
beautiful stuff. peak Sewer Clown.
fact check: on April 12, Mad King Donny announced that he would be making “90 deals in 90 days.” fifty-two days have passed since then. we have yet to see one deal.
another thing Colin Robinson Kevin Hassett apparently doesn’t understand is how tripping one’s ass off works.
Kasie Hunt: “did you ever witness Elon Musk under the influence of drugs?”
Hassett: “not in a million years. he’s a person who is so filled with joy that it’s just a natural way that he is.”
oh, please. check out the Space Nazi’s behavior during his fake-farewell press conference last Friday.
fact check: he’s zonked out of his fucking mind.
oh yeah. that’s natural. no drug use at all, uh huh. clearly, the guy is just high on life.
let’s gif that shit for posterity’s sake.
does House Speaker Holy Mike Johnson understand how not lying works?
Kristen Welker: “if the big beautiful bill does add to the debt, will Trump own it?”
Holy Mike: “it’s not gonna add to the debt.”
Welker: “experts say this will add trillions to the deficit. can you really guarantee this will not add one penny of debt?”
Holy Mike: “I’m telling you this is going to reduce the deficit.”
fact check: the ‘big beautiful bill’ is going to explode the deficit.
Six Nobel laureate economists said a massive budget bill passed by House lawmakers last month and backed by President Trump would weaken key safety-net programs while greatly lifting the federal debt.
The tax and spending package, which Republicans have dubbed the “one big beautiful bill,” would hurt millions of Americans by slashing Medicaid and food stamps, the economists wrote in a June 2 letter on behalf of the Economic Policy Institute, a left-leaning think tank.
gee, who to believe — six Nobel laureates or the limpest dick ever to wield the House Speaker’s gavel? it’s a goddamned conundrum.
I have a question: isn’t Holy Mike supposed to be a big follower of the Bible?
I’m no Biblical scholar, but I seem to recall that the Good Book has this whole section in it with all these ‘thou shalt nots’ — and I’m pretty sure one of the bigger ‘shalt nots’ is ‘lie your fucking face off.’ I get the general sense that the Bible frowns on that kind of shit.
oh wait, maybe Holy Mike isn’t lying. perhaps he’s just a person who is so filled with joy that he’s just naturally optimistic.
yeah, that’s it.
here’s your hero of the day: actor Nick Offerman, probably best known for playing Ron Swanson on Parks and Recreation.
June is Pride Month — so of course the worst people in the world are rage-loading their diapers over ThE gAyS refusing to remain in the closet.
when Mike Flynn Jr — the Don Jr of the treasonous Flynn clan — tried to hijack a Ron Swanson meme and use it to broadcast his own rampant homophobia, here’s how Nick ripped him a new one.
“Ron was best man at a gay wedding you dumb fuck. #HappyPride”
fact check: true.
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.

for new readers:
the origin of 'sewer clowns' a descriptor for Donny's cabinet secretaries is my post from Nov 23, 2024, "elect a clown, get a circus" —
"yesterday was Day Two of the unwrapping of Donny Convict’s nominees for various Cabinet and White House offices.
for the second day in a row, America was introduced to a whole new cast of toadies, lackies, dipshits, ass-kissers, incompetents, ideologues, and low-wattage empty suits whose current jobs are to look good on Fox News.
basically, America’s getting a clown show — and not a funny ha ha! clown show. nope, we’re getting sewer clowns."
