today in Shit That Happened While I Was Busy Writing This Shitβ
the Senate confirmed Dear Leader's personal ambulance chaser to be Attorney General at 4:30 IN THE MORNING. talk about committing fuckery in the dead of night
Like this plant I have on my desk at work, Mitch is in a liminal state between life and death. As for what's coming in November--this is a chance for them to show manliness via accepting failure and defeat.
On the plus side Trump's voter suppression bill is still dead in the water despite the performative MAGAt Senators who insisted on "no vacation" until it passed.
Im sorry I dont know what that means. My congressman is terrific and devoted to his constituents and thats important because all politics is local.
My governor is definitely a bourgeois Democrat and that's fine with me because the issues that he fosters are important to me and he hates Trump and is always rattling his cage, which I love.
Tucker Carlson and MTG are threatening Republicans with a MAGA-focused spin-off, too.
So there might be FOUR.
If only the future of this great nation weren't at stake in these midterms, we could pop some corn and really enjoy the resulting Demolition Derby for Democracy.
True story: When Ed Meese was appointed AG by Reagan, he walked into a small neighborhood library here (La Mesa) and asked the librarian: "Do you have any books about the U.S. Attorney General? I need to know what they do."
Senate cucks Cornyn and Cassidy showed their profiles in cowardice and groveling by voting for the most unsuitable AG (yes, even more than Perjury Pam) in US history. After Fat Fuck primaried them, and they have no more need of his approval, they still did his evil bidding. History will judge them justifiably as the weakest, most corrupt, pathetic creatures with no probity or self-respect.
These people have lost sight of why they went into government service in the first place. They've chosen money and greed over the Constitution and their constituents. You're right they had nothing to lose except their self-respect and they couldn't even manage to hang onto that. That's what cowards do. Make bad decisions at 430 am and cut and run. I hate them all.
Collins didnt vote for Blanche. She was one of 2 Republicans who didnt. They had to give her an out or she would absolutely lose her seat. And that cant afford that.
They performed their performances so that there could be much clucking and scratching about their "breaking with" Donnie Demento (and therefore no discussions about any actual news of importance), and then just did what they always do--fall in line and make their Dear Leader happy. I did hear Quack Cassidy make a noise about "being concerned" about Blanche; however, as with Quacker's "concern" about RatFuck Kennedy, he just went right ahead and voted for one of the all-time most corrupt lawyers in the known universe.
Yep. I woke up to that alert. Everything that happens from here on out is the fault of Bill Cassidy. He should lose his law license for confirming Bobby Brainworms. The rest of Cassidyβs life he needs to be hounded by people reminding him of his un-American, cowardly exit to the Senate. Never forget his fucking name and that he was complicit.
Yes, I grow weary of the protestations of how it was in the early republic and beyond. It is at hyper speed now and all sense of shame has been sacrificed by an entire political party. But from the beginning we have had a current running through our culture that promotes the possessive individualβme, myself, and I.
Just wait until he gets the bright idea of using Viking women (who were detained by ICE) to carry him up and down any ramps and stairs that he encounters.
The gold nugget presented by Burghum was meant to illustrate the amazing color and consistency of the wondrous poops Shitler could achieve if he followed his dietician's guidelines.
Im sorry, Wendy. I meant the survey that predicted Mr Trump's demise?
Thanks for this, though. I don't doubt in a million years that he would put his fat face on our currency. And I was sure it would be a bill that was too large to set on fire.
Can you imagine the fires we'd have burning if he put his stupid mug on a dollar bill!
Was the Loch Ness Monster actually Jack the Ripper?
Another really stupid week for USA decadence. Seeing that cat-barfed hairball atop Cherished Leader's vacant noggin made me remember an incident in Reid Fleming, The World's Toughest Milkman comics where the impotent boss Mr. O'Clock is rocking an Elvis toupee. He tells Reid "It's made from pony tales in Irkutsk!" Reid thinks "From one horse's ass to another."
Meteorologists are predicting the Super El Nino coud bring monsoon level rains this winter. This could cause the Marine Room in La Jolla to flood again, which it does every 7-10 years.
Watters is hiding something and I think we all know what that is. Thereβs irrefutable scientific evidence that homophobes react strongly when presented with erotic homosexual video. Letβs ask him to take the test at NYU. It involves only a chair, a movie, a tape measure and an electrodermal monitor. π
what's even worse is when my dog - who apparently likes to swallow hair - semi-delivers a 'dangler'. at which point we just walk and walk and walk, since there's no way I'm letting her back into the house until she's managed to complete the job.
It's great being ruled by this decrepit, smelly, racist godking isn't it?
Maladministration 2.0. is like the flame attracting all the inane cranks of the world. Does Sean O'Mara compare notes with Mengele-without-a-medical degree? Like do they have bathroom sessions where they share the same stall or something?
Unsupervised early adolescent readings of Ayn Rand taken as the revelation of Great Truth, and misinterpretations of Lord of the Flies ("Piggy was weak, he had it coming.") have always been high on my list of explanations.

Senate confirmed Donald Trump's personal lawyer to run the Justice Department at 4:34 in the morning, 50-49, then fled town for five weeks.
that same week: 23,000 jobs gone, wages at a five-year low, two-thirds of the country saying the GOP has wrecked the grocery bill.
No affordability bill. no hearing. a recess.
Meanwhile every candidate who ran on rent is winning primaries β the DSA is on track for five seats, up from two.
To the GOP I say: You did this to yourselves, you spineless clock-dodging shit-weseals.

Also, is Mcconnell dead yet?
Like this plant I have on my desk at work, Mitch is in a liminal state between life and death. As for what's coming in November--this is a chance for them to show manliness via accepting failure and defeat.
Not gonna happen. Theyβll fight elections every inch of the way. Denying that Trump lost in 2020 is the prequel.
In the immortal words of Mitch McConnell, "Never say die!" hee hee hee
Surely you jest.
On the plus side Trump's voter suppression bill is still dead in the water despite the performative MAGAt Senators who insisted on "no vacation" until it passed.
I came here to say that.
"Marked Safe from the SAVE Act"βfor this year's elections.
Next year? you can bet Trump will dig it up again. Let's make sure Republicans don't hold the majority in Congress anymore.
That reminds me of vintage Saturday Night Live when it was announced on the news that "Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead"!
So in every election there will three candidates Republican, Democrat and Democratic Socialist?
Nope, DS is taking the Dems back to where we should be, instead of "Republican Lite".
Im sorry I dont know what that means. My congressman is terrific and devoted to his constituents and thats important because all politics is local.
My governor is definitely a bourgeois Democrat and that's fine with me because the issues that he fosters are important to me and he hates Trump and is always rattling his cage, which I love.
More like MAGA, Dem & DSA.
The Republican Party has been renamed The Trump Party.
Tucker Carlson and MTG are threatening Republicans with a MAGA-focused spin-off, too.
So there might be FOUR.
If only the future of this great nation weren't at stake in these midterms, we could pop some corn and really enjoy the resulting Demolition Derby for Democracy.
That would great. At this point all we can do is laugh, otherwise we'd crying all the time. You bring the popcorn and I'll get the beer.
McConnell is dead, full stop.
So is Rep Neal Dunn, who's staff apparently can't even bother to pretend that he isn't pushing daisies.
Well he has been referred to the NY Bar for possible discipline⦠He could still become the first AG to be disbarred while in office.
As they should. Why haven't they done this already?
If it is anything like doctor discipline before state medical boards, it will take forever.
true. I think it look three years for Rudy Giuliani to be disbarred
And longer for him to pay up to Shaye and Ruby
We don't know for sure who wrote that check but, I'm guessing his name rhymes with "tusk".
It wouldn't matter, as the USAG doesn't need to hold a bar card or to even have attended law school. Same thing for SCOTUS justices.
True story: When Ed Meese was appointed AG by Reagan, he walked into a small neighborhood library here (La Mesa) and asked the librarian: "Do you have any books about the U.S. Attorney General? I need to know what they do."
He's still alive, in his mid-90s
Who the hell writes these job descriptions??? Aw, why bother? Not one of these "appointees" have any qualifications whatsoever.
In a sane universe Congress would vote based on merit, not abject toadyism.
But he is only 52. When he gets out he will be 54 or 55. Likely he'll want to work for a few more years...
You don't need a bar card to be a lobbyist, either π
C'est vrai Γ§a!
Exactly Stephen, the death threats from the malodorous codpiece MAGA supporters continue to undermine our Republic.
We can dream, can't we? A fitting end for Todd Blanche: Superstar.
Apparently the Trump Party senators can't read.

I think some went into office for the access to money and power.
No, I think a lot of them went in it for the money and power. Especially the Republicans.
This vote is what will enable their future employment in lobbying πΉ
They went to Congress precisely for money and greed.
They make it clear they are working for the Trump Family now. Not for us. Helping them steal money from us. They sold their balls to crooks.
Donβt forget the cowards Tillis and Susan βfake concernβ Collins. Disgusting cowards!
Collins didnt vote for Blanche. She was one of 2 Republicans who didnt. They had to give her an out or she would absolutely lose her seat. And that cant afford that.

EXACTLY!
Heβs like the male Susan Collins. I wonder if they are related.
Ignoble poltroons one and all!
History will bitch-slap the lot of 'em--"with great prejudice."
I canβt come up with any words, just π€¬π€¬π€¬π€¬π€¬π€¬π€¬π€¬π€¬π€¬
Shitstain Blanche must be all smiles
He will use his corrupt wiles
To issue dictums
That ignore the victims
And shield the pedophiles
El Sucko Supreme
Cassidy said he voted to confirm Todd the Toadie because the next nominee could be worse. βDemocracyβ is so wonderful.
At which point he could block him too. A festering ball kissing blot on western civilization
Yep. I woke up to that alert. Everything that happens from here on out is the fault of Bill Cassidy. He should lose his law license for confirming Bobby Brainworms. The rest of Cassidyβs life he needs to be hounded by people reminding him of his un-American, cowardly exit to the Senate. Never forget his fucking name and that he was complicit.
Cassidy caved. What's he got to lose?
Lobbying gigs
How can they face their colleagues βacross the alleged aisleββ¦
Oh thatβs right - heβs the greatest thing that ever happened to them - got it
No integrity. Nothing bothers them or would stir their conscience. They have no morals, scruples or ethics. Throw the bums out!
They all voted to hold Fauci in contempt.
His personal mouthpiece.

Did someone vote for Mitch McConnell. I read something that another knew hiw he would and cast his vote. Is that true?
No. There is no such thing as "proxy voting" in the Senate. The final vote was 50-49.
Boozman(?) Isnβt that against their Rules? They didnβt even allow virtual voting during Covid in the Senate - amirite
It was for a committee vote which in some cases is legal, but this one didn't pass the smell test so no votes from McConnell.
I. Fucking. Hate. These. Thuggish. Racist. Thieves.
Theyβve been here since this country was founded. We just see them more now.
Yes, I grow weary of the protestations of how it was in the early republic and beyond. It is at hyper speed now and all sense of shame has been sacrificed by an entire political party. But from the beginning we have had a current running through our culture that promotes the possessive individualβme, myself, and I.
Precisely why they obsess about helping others. Quasi-religious devotion to selfishness and acquisition.
And they're in charge.
In charge, yet living in fear Ann!
The miracle of the internet.
Donny's creed is greed.
Thatβs kinda like my No Kings protest sign: Just GREED in large red lettersβ¦
You go, RZolu!
the G in GOP stands for greedy.
I hate them MORE.
Notice that the felon is using the lower "emergency" door on the plane. He's increasingly unable to manage stairs...
Is there any way to replace those stairs used to go up to the plane with an escalator set on βdownβ? That would be hilarious.
I usually imagine a collapsing staircase like an old-fashioned fun house, but a down escalator would be great too.
Yeahβ¦ but itβd have to be a gold one
A tacky brass escalator, all the way down. The devil won't like it.
But Biden ~
Just wait until he gets the bright idea of using Viking women (who were detained by ICE) to carry him up and down any ramps and stairs that he encounters.
Sean O'Mara doesn't seem to understand that animals don't have to wipe their butts because they don't have ass cheeks on both sides.
Or, excepting the primates, prehensile hands
The gold nugget presented by Burghum was meant to illustrate the amazing color and consistency of the wondrous poops Shitler could achieve if he followed his dietician's guidelines.
I always thought bears dragged their backsides up and down trees because they didn't have toilet paper.
My Labrador Retriever has been seen βscootingβ along the ground but I think thatβs just because something back there itches.
Thatβs just in tv commercials
Is it true that Vegas odds has emperor Von Shitzinpants croaking off this weekend?
really? got a link to that?
There is also a bet for: Will Trump Create a 250 Dollar Bill With His Name and Face on it?
Probably created so the thieves in the inner circle can make a fortune off knowing the answer already.
I couldnt find it on Kalshi
Allow me to provide you: https://kalshi.com/markets/kx250dollarbill/trumpfaced-250-bill-by-2027/kx250dollarbill-27

not on Kalshi, Orange.

However, what is on there is
Will Trump Buy At Least Part of Greenland?
No, I couldn't find it.
It wont matter anyway, we'll just have another Republican asshole. Look at all the Republicans in the Senate. There is more they came from.
Hopefully greed monkeys Jr and Eric (Uday and Kusay) knock him off for the profit
What's the over/under?
For the second week, here goes:
Jeff's TWIS
Tries to summarize this mess
We're constantly vexed
By what bullshit comes next
Tomorrow is anyone's guess
Note to Dr. Sean
If you don't wipe your asshole
Stay away from me
The entire regime
Is a consortium of
Big unwiped assholes
Maybe he's Patient Zero for the cyclosporiasis outbreak.
Raymond Chandler used to live in La Jolla!
Was the Loch Ness Monster actually Jack the Ripper?

Theodore Geisel, aka "Dr. Seuss", was another longtime La Jolla resident.
Meteorologists are predicting the Super El Nino coud bring monsoon level rains this winter. This could cause the Marine Room in La Jolla to flood again, which it does every 7-10 years.
It disgusts me how our country's leaders are becoming more and more like North Korean supplicants every day. :(
Little children aren't fooled: 'Daddy, look! Funny hair!'
Australian aborigines aren't fooled: 'WIG! Ahahahahahaha! WIG!'
What is that thing on his head
Some small animal that's dead?
He musta felt
That that roadkill pelt
Was nice, Ms Natalie said
Did that roadkill come from Bobby Brainworm?
Throw head back in laughter, indeed!
Dodgy move in a wig though.
Daddy, the emperor has no clothes.
Watters is hiding something and I think we all know what that is. Thereβs irrefutable scientific evidence that homophobes react strongly when presented with erotic homosexual video. Letβs ask him to take the test at NYU. It involves only a chair, a movie, a tape measure and an electrodermal monitor. π
Well...I'm throwing away all my toilet paper and buying a large pilgrim smock with large pockets for healthy snacks!
If he could get fat bastard to listen, Natalie Human Printer wouldn't need to tote that diaper bag
Jeff, how about adding a second challenge: "Where in the World Is Mitch McConnell?"
With Carmen Sandiego.
And Waldo!
Okay then why does my dog scoot his butt on my carpet?
what's even worse is when my dog - who apparently likes to swallow hair - semi-delivers a 'dangler'. at which point we just walk and walk and walk, since there's no way I'm letting her back into the house until she's managed to complete the job.
Itchy butt... worms?
or it could be impacted anal glands . . . which, trust me, that's a job that you'd prefer a vet to deal with
Yikes
because he wants to leave skid marks?

It's great being ruled by this decrepit, smelly, racist godking isn't it?
Maladministration 2.0. is like the flame attracting all the inane cranks of the world. Does Sean O'Mara compare notes with Mengele-without-a-medical degree? Like do they have bathroom sessions where they share the same stall or something?
Well, to be honest, that photo does seem to show that Little Marco Big Shoes fell asleep during his own speechifying, too.
What the fuck is wrong with these people? Were they all dropped on their heads at birth?
Unsupervised early adolescent readings of Ayn Rand taken as the revelation of Great Truth, and misinterpretations of Lord of the Flies ("Piggy was weak, he had it coming.") have always been high on my list of explanations.
