why is CNN sanewashing Trump’s threats to take over the world?

and what the fuck is John Fetterman doing?

just a brief rant today for Christmas Eve. I’ll be back tomorrow with a Christmas Day message and a wonderful video by my friend Sandi Bachom.

it’s a beautiful sunny day in Palm Beach — but Donny Convict is too wound up to notice. he seethes as he waddles about the patio of his tacky golf motel, his freakishly undersized fists balled in rage as he plots world domination.

‘Canada. I hate those moose-fuckers. did you see the way Melania batted her eyes at Justin Trudeau? he thinks he’s so cool. let’s see how he likes it when my generals invade his shithole country.’

his new boyfriend, the Space Nazi, giggles maniacally as he eggs Donny on. ‘oh, I know, I know,’ he burbles. ‘do Panama next! no, wait, Greenland. no, wait — both!’

it would be a mistake to assume that these power-drunk fuckwaffles are joking. and it would be twice the mistake to pretend that Donny’s threats to annex sovereign nations is just normal, everyday geopolitics.

so what in the fucking world are you doing, CNN?

ohhhhh, Donny’s just teasing. he’s just an irrepressible cut-up — the class clown!

c’mere, ya knuckleheads, he says, as he puts Greenland in a headlock and gives them a vigorous set of nuggies. just kidding!

and no, Donny’s threats to gobble up whole countries wouldn’t “rival” the Louisiana Purchase. that was a legitimate transfer of land that followed months of negotiations.

what Donny would be “rivaling” is Hitler’s invasion of Poland in 1939 — the event that sparked a madcap little donnybrook that even CNN might have heard of. it was called World War Two.

for fuck’s sake, CNN — even the New York Times couldn’t find a way to sanewash Donny’s threats.

congratulations, CNN. when you’ve outdone the Times, you’ve really gone the extra mile. take a victory lap.

what the fuck happened to John Fetterman?

when John Fetterman came to the Washington two years ago, he was a breath of fresh air. he was funny. he said the right things, he cared about the right issues. he really seemed like he was Our Guy in the Senate.

he wasn’t afraid to mock the shit out of Republicans.

then, slowly, over time Fetterman seemed to become more interested in punching the progressives that carried him into office.

and now, since Donny’s reelection, he’s morphed himself into what can only be called a MAGA Democrat.

look at this.

“My first truth 👇

The Trump hush money and Hunter Biden cases were both bullshit, and pardons are appropriate.

Weaponizing the judiciary for blatant, partisan gain diminishes the collective faith in our institutions and sows further division.”

this was on Truth Social, Donny’s crappy app. that’s where Fetterman is posting now.

and then there was this TV appearance over the weekend.

“I never believed that it was about fascism. it’s not a word that I would use. that’s not a word that regular people use.”

here’s the thing, John. fascism doesn’t care whether or not you believe in it. in fact, fascism prefers that you deny it’s happening. you’re making its job easier.

“I’m not rooting against [Trump] because if you’re rooting against the president, you are rooting against the nation.”

for fuck’s sake, fascism doesn’t get any more fascistic than “the leader and the country are one and the same.” that’s the first fucking tenet of fascism.

what’s going on? Fetterman never seemed like he’d be the kind of guy who would worry about being a target of Donny’s retribution. so why is he doing this? money? power?

and here’s the icing on the cake.

why, John, why? why would you support a blackout drunk ahem alleged serial sexual assulter to head America’s military? and why would you support a guy who has promised to prosecute Donny’s political enemies?

In an interview with Jonathan Karl on ABC’s “This Week,” Fetterman said that Patel told him he would not use the FBI to go after Trump’s enemies, despite his comments vowing to go after such people.

and you took Krazee Eyes Kash at his word? John, you have spent the last two years working alongside Republicans. you should know by now that all they do is lie. they lie about immigrants EATING THE DAWGS. they lie about the fantasy of post-birth abortion. they lie about everything.

but when the guy who wrote an entire fucking book about his enemies list tells you oh no, just teasing — that’s the lie you choose to believe?

I feel betrayed.

the Gaetz Report was released yesterday, and it confirms everything we already knew about Matty Plankhead. he’s a drug-abusing predatory creep who paid underage girls to have sex with him.

but I have one question that the report doesn’t cover. Matt’s a gun owner, right? and he’s a drug user. so, when Matt filled out that gun registration form, did he check the box that says “I am not a drug user”?

I’m sure that Republicans will be demanding that Gaetz be prosecuted to the full extent of the law for that, just like Hunter Biden was, right?

right?

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.
