Fox to MAGA: stop whining about the price of gas
tough shit, cultists, it’s your patriotic duty to pay through the nose
as Preznit Fuckwit’s unwinnable don’t-you-dare-call-it-a-war on Iran drags on, bringing uncertainty and economic chaos in its wake, his enablers in the Donnyverse have a clear message for We the People: soaring inflation and unaffordable goods and services are just small price we pay for the privilege of living in a fascist kleptocracy headed by a racist imbecile in steep cognitive decline.
besides, just think of how much your grandchildren will thank you.
seriously, that was the actual line of bullshit spewed by this babbling yutz who showed up on Fox Business yesterday.
“yes, there is going to be some pain now, but in the end — it may not be in six months, it may not be a year — but for the future, if this plays out the way President Trump wants to to play out in Iran … it could lead to an energy future where my kids and my grandkids will be paying pennies on the dollar compared to what we’re paying now for energy.”
‘have faith in Dear Leader’s plan’ — oh no, that doesn’t sound cultish at all.
what kind of pie-in-the-sky everybody-gets-a-pony magical thinking is this? it’s based on zero facts, yet it’s the shit sandwich that Fox Business is shoving into the faces of their gullible viewers: just you wait, we’re going to get everything sorted in a decade or two.
holy shit. Fox News — the official state propaganda wing of the GOP — has given up on even pretending that that prices will come down any time soon. they’ve moved on to talking about the amazing life your grandchildren will have, because of Dear Leader’s Glorious Twenty-Year Plan.
come on, Fox, you gotta keep that shit short. MAGA doesn’t have that kind of attention span. for fuck’s sake, even the commies knew to constrain their lies to a five-year time frame.
Republican policies have done fuck-all to improve the lives of We the People. everyone understands this, because everyone’s lives are getting demonstrably shittier and shittier as the price of everything keeps going up and up — to the point where even MAGA is starting to be all ‘what the crap, dude?’
Dear Leader is fucking toxic right now. here’s Chris Hayes on MS-whatever-they-call-it-now, having the time of his life as he cackles with glee over how completely under the shitter Donny’s numbers are.
“take a look at this chart. we were sort of marveling over this one today. a lot of charts don’t read on TV, but I think this one gives you the point. that’s from pollster G. Elliot Morris, who tracks Trump’s approval on several different issues. and you can see there are a bunch of different issues, they all go in the same direction, they all go down. but the one that’s the lowest all the way at the bottom of your TV screen, the green line, that is Donald Trump’s approval on inflation and the cost of living. of course, that includes gas prices … and as you can see, Trump is just almost incomprehensibly unpopular when it comes to prices. literally off the chart. he is so underwater, in fact, that he is off the chart. that chart doesn’t go low enough to show his massive minus-forty approval on the issue. Donald Trump is currently less popular on inflation than that man on your screen, Jimmy Carter.”
Chris Hayes has literally become the ‘lets all throw ours heads back and laugh’ meme.
now, because I’m a Responsible Journalist and Everything™, I found a high-resolution version of the G. Elliott Morris chart Chris Hayes showed on TV. here it is.
oh, and nobody wants a vulgar Epstein Dance Hall™, either.
“Americans reject Trump’s White House ballroom by a 2-to-1 margin, according to a WaPo-ABC-Ipsos poll. 56% oppose the ballroom. 28% support the project.”
it any wonder that the American people have lost faith in Dear Leader in every category? none of this shit is popular, because none of it helps any of us — and now we’re being told that it’s OUR job to come up with the four hundred million dollars that this fugly dance hall is going to cost.
by the way, fuck MAGA. they were totally down with fascist fuckery such as masked thugs teargassing children in Minneapolis, and disappearing immigrants into Salvadoran slave-labor gulags. they ate that shit up, and applauded it. they only got mad at Dear Leader once their own lives started being inconvenienced.
boo fucking hoo, MAGA.
you know that things are getting bad for the Donnyverse when even a reliable pro-GOP mouthpiece like CNBC’s Joe Kernen starts being all ‘wait a minute, fuckface, none of that shit is true.’
check out Kernen fact-checking white supremacy’s middle manager, Steve Scalise, in real-time.
Steve Scalise: “we’ve delivered. people will remember that 2 years ago, we were paying almost $6 a gallon. right now it’s in the threes.”
Joe Kernen: “when were we paying $6?”
Scalise: “two an a half years ago.”
Kernan: “that wasn’t the average price.”
Scalise: “we’re bringing things down so we can make life affordable.”
Kernan: “two years ago, in April of 2024, we were about $3.65.”
lies are all the GOP has at this point — lies, and promises of the wonderful world our grandkids are going to live in. they’re kidding themselves if they think the majority of voters are going to buy any of that twaddle.
speaking of kidding one’s self, let’s check in on the king of denial. oh look, Donny actually believes he’s won his war.
“we’ve already won, but I want to win by a bigger margin.”
Jesus. talk about delusion. remember, this is the guy who thinks he’s healthy enough to be an astronaut. he lives in a complete fantasy world where up is down, in is out, a rat’s nest of piss-colored straw is a decent hairstyle, and a clusterfuck that’s shut down the entire Strait of Hormuz and sent gas prices soaring is some kind of win.
just more perfectly normal stuff, right? I guess we just need to trust in Dear Leader’s Twenty Year Plan To Sort This Shit Out.
don’t you wish that at least one of Donny’s merry band of shitwits had the courage to clue him in on the truth, that we’re losing bigly in Iran? but who’s going to do it? not Plastered Pete — he shares the same we-already-won delusion that Donny labors under. and certainly not Liddle Marco. he’s so neutered that he’s too scared to tell Dear Leader that his shoes don’t fit.
but that’s the brain trust that’s waging this war: a demented moron, a piss-drunk psychopath, and a coward who can’t walk three steps without tripping over his own feet.
it would be hilarious if it weren’t completely fucking horrifying.
and while we’re on the subject of hilarious if it weren’t horrifying, what the fuck is this?
what the hell? does Donny actually believe he served three terms in office? is he seriously accusing Barack HUSSEIN Obama of not being able to pass a cognitive exam? that’s an all-new accusation.
Barack, do you have any idea what Donny is gibbering about?
yeah, neither do we.
could someone please hand Dear Leader his pudding cup and lead him to bed? he’s sundowning again.
well, we made it to Friday, everyone. this has been one fuck of a week, hasn’t it?
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 don't have a Shit That Happened While I Was Busy Writing This Shit for today. I got too wrapped up in actual writing to play with my phone. so tell me, commenters — what have a missed?
I doubt it will ever happen, but what if a dozen prominent Dems -- Mr. and Mrs. Obama, Mr. and Mrs. Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, AOC, J.B. Pritzker, Gavin Newsom, etc. all showed up and took Trump's cognitive exam -- on Jimmy Kimmel's show?
