who needs April fools when we have clownfuckers year-round
executive orders are NOT laws
I’m so old, I remember when the greatest crime of the twenty-first century was perpetrated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, when he wore a black t-shirt in the Oval Office.
hyperventilating Republicans clutched their pearls, collapsed all the fuck over their fainting couches, and howled with outrage.
‘how could Zelenskyy do that? he’s disrespecting Dear Leader! he’s defiled the sanctity of the Oval Office! fuck this guy and fuck his whole country. if he wants our help, let him dress in a suit!’
given all that performative dipshittery, someone please explain to me what the fuck this is.
this sartorial nightmare is the 54-year-old No Longer A Kid Rock, the author of hit songs such as … um … I’m sorry, did he ever have one?
yesterday, Formerly A Kid was in the Oval Office. he’s got his hand on the Resolute Desk — on the exact spot, I might note, where Crown Prince Snotwiper, the Space Nazi’s spawn, left a fresh deposit of nose goblins the last time he visited the Oval Office.
not one Republican had anything to say about Definitely Not A Kid Rock having apparently foraged for clothing in the dumpster behind the Barnum & Bailey Circus prior to his White House visit.
The Opposite of A Kid was in the Oval Office yesterday to function as Mad King Donny’s emotional support has-been while Donny signed an executive order on who even gives a shit at this point.
can I just remind everyone of something that seems to have been forgotten? executive orders are not laws.
Executive orders are issued from the executive branch of the government, specifically the U.S. President. An executive order is not a law in the sense that it does not go through the legislative process. It is not binding on everyone, only on employees of the executive branch.
that’s why so many of Donny’s EOs have been so easily smacked down by judges. when Mad King Donny decrees that all his subjects must wear underpants on their head, the judiciary will step in to say not so fast, Donny, only executive branch employees need humiliate themselves.
Donny’s fascistic blizzard of unconstitutional executive orders are being treated as laws of the land only because a Republican-controlled Congress — aided and abetted by the compliant scribblers of the corporate-controlled media — are allowing them to be treated as such.
what are Congressional Republicans even doing with their copious free time? because they’re sure as shit not working. in the first three months of the year, they’ve passed exactly four bills.
a functional Congress normally passes hundreds of bills in any given year. this year, Holy Mike Johnson’s gaggle of lazy clownfuckers is on track to pass sixteen.
look, passing bills is hard. you have to do so much reading, and then you have to vote on shit.
it’s so much easier just to cede authority, and let Mad King Donny do whatever he wants.
yesterday in France, this actually happened.
The verdict effectively barred the current front-runner in the 2027 presidential election from participating in it, an extraordinary step but one the presiding judge said was necessary because nobody is entitled to “immunity in violation of the rule of law.”
far-right extremist Marine Le Pen fucked around, and found out that actions actually have consequences — in France. this is how it’s done, in an actual democracy.
hey, remember when our own far-right fuckface, Donny Convict, worked himself up into such a huge hissy over losing an election that he sent an armed crowd of deranged insurrectionists to the Capitol to overturn the results and and hang his own vice president?
Donny broke about ten thousand laws that day, and by rights should have been Marine Le Penned right into a prison cell — but the five bought-and-paid for Federalist Society hacks on the Supreme Court ruled that Donny is a Very Special Boy Who Gets To Crime All He Wants.
other counties manage to hold their criminals accountable. Marine Le Pen is on her way to prison. Jair Bolsonaro is facing a trial in Brazil for attempting a coup that was modeled after the one Donny failed to pull off. Rodrigo Duterte is in confinement in The Hague for crimes against humanity.
but our own Very Special Boy, he gets a pat on the head, a fresh set of keys to the Oval Office, and is told ‘go right ahead, Donny, executive order America into some fascistic hellscape.’
it’s no wonder that the rest of the world looks at us and wonders what the fuck happened to America?
speaking of weird-ass clownfuckers, the stand back and stand by crowd is getting hella pissed at all the #TeslaTakedowns (thousands of protestors took part in over 200 protests just this past weekend). that’s why, across the street from the demonstrations, you’ll often find a motley collection of Proud Boys and white supremacists.
they look formidable, don’t they?
While the protest movement comprises people angered at Elon Musk’s role in the dismantling of federal government agencies, the counterprotest movement that showed up this weekend was peopled mostly by MAGA supporters. Among them were an array of far-right extremists, including members of the Proud Boys, armed militias, and at one event in Idaho, a guy dressed as Hitler.
sure enough, here’s lovable Nazi Dave, winning hearts and minds on the streets of Idaho.
pro tip: if your gang includes some lunatic doing Hitler cosplay, guess what: you’re on the wrong fucking side.
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.

So many Nazis, so little time. I just saw an interview of Laura Ingraham’s brother who said their father was a most hateful man, a Nazi sympathizer and kept copies of Mein Kampf in the house. The fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree.
