Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Two times Conservative British Home Secretary Suella Braverman here... X-ing away without an apparent care for the paradox
The invasion has reached Gosport- just
next door to Fareham,


Why?


Because successive governments have
made Britain a soft touch.


Only Reform UK will stop the invasion,.

Donny the Attention Hog got to make two whole speeches at his vanity cxonvention, and spoiler alert: he managed to make a complete ass of himself. thank you for your attention to today's post, in which I mock the shit out of his dumbfuckery. link is here: bit.ly/3SGF4Tj
holy shit, they literally cast Dear Leader as God’s gift to the universe.

they’re not being sarcastic. they actually believe this twaddle. remember, the whole purpose of this ‘Republican midterm convention’ wasn’t to promote Republican candidates. they gave the briefest lip service to the dipshits who are actually running in races this year. this ‘midterm convention’ was just an Emotional Support Tit, shoved into Dear Leader’s face so he could spend two days feeding off uncritical adoration.

that’s because the GOP is no longer a functioning political party. it’s now just some fucked-up cult whose prime directive is to make a colicky piss-baby feel good about himself.

I mean, at this point they’re not even pretending to be anything other than a cult.

John Redwood here - still smarting from an invasion that took place... NINE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS ago
As we consider the Bayeux Embroidery we
should remember the many killed by this
French invasion. English men and women
had their lands stolen. Many were put into

Let's be absolutely clear: there is no amount of new drilling in the North Sea that Burnham could approve which would be consistent with our climate goals. If we are to avoid complete climate breakdown, we need to turn all effort to clean renewable energy - not doubling down on dirty fossil fuels.

Within days of taking office incoming Prime Minister Andy Burnham is preparing to announce new drilling for oil and gas in the North Sea as well as taking public control of Thames Water.

the Space Nazi whines about the Odyssey, Andrew Tate whines about how much prison sucks, and Preznit Fuckwit whines about being an unfunny asshole. it's all in 'this week in stupid,' my wrap-up of the dumbest fucking shit that happened. thank you for your attention. link is here: bit.ly/4fTQX0D
here’s the issue: the Space Nazi and his infantile cohort are super triggered right now because filmmaker Christopher Nolan had the temerity to cast trans people and people of color in his version of the Odyssey. how clownfuckingly petty is that? I mean, the ancient Greeks pretty much invented gender fluidity — but whatever, Elon. you do you.

imagine having all the money in the world. imagine living in a world of limitless choices and opportunities, and what you choose to do with your time is type angrily into your phone about stupid bullshit that’s of no importance.

what a snowflake. what a pathetic fucking dipshit.

I don’t know about you, but I’m looking forward to the Space Nazi’s own personal six-fingered plagiarism robot — the one that calls itself ‘mechaHitler’ and has been known to generate child porn on command — ginning up a ‘historically accurate’ version of story about giants, a dude with one eye in the middle of his forehead, and men being turned into pigs.

what could possibly go wrong?

i've outrun more than a few wildfires in my time and i thought of typing up some advice on doing that but honestly what can i even say because. this many wildfires in regions that do not normally get wildfires like this is a direct result of bad policies and failure to act on climate change.

What do Andy Burnham, Boris Johnson and Brexit all have in common? Quite a lot, actually. They’re all attempts to solve the same underlying problem. The trouble is that Britain has spent forty years arguing about the treatment while largely ignoring the diagnosis.

that’s right, the fucking idiot got royally shit on. one judge put a temporary block on that $1.8 billion slush fund that was created to enrich Donny, his cronies, and all the fuckheads who did January 6th.

a second judge reopened the fucking idiot’s so-called ‘settled’ lawsuit against the IRS, and asked the fucking idiot and his two felonious failsons to explain why it wasn’t fraudulent.

to add insult to injury, a third judge told the fucking idiot to pry his stupid name off the Kennedy Center, pronto, and to forget about closing it down for two years.

and that’s the decision that caused the fucking idiot to go ballistic. he crapped himself raw all over his dumbfuck app, posting a 652-word whine-fest.

When Will You Die
photo of a sketchbook pencil comic.

top half of the page is lyrics from TMBG’s When Will You Die:
“on that promised morning, we will wake and greet the dawn
knowing that your wicked life is over and that we will carry on!
we’ll exhale
we’ll high-five
we will know how blessed and great is is to be alive
we’ll be lining up and buying tickets and then we’ll be jumping up and down on your grave
you’re insane! you are bad!
you wreck everything you touch and you’re a sociopath
and the only way to mitigate
would be to know the date
you’re scheduled to vacate
when are you going to die?
look me in the eye, tell me when you’ll die!”

panel 2: father asks “is this song about someone specific?”; katie replies “it is now”

I have an idea whose time has definitely come. are you listening, Democrats? thank you for your attention to yesterday's post, in which I made the case for a cabinet-level Secretary of Unfucking All That Shit. link is here: bit.ly/43Dsfut
it’s all so penny ante. it’s all so tasteless. it’s all so lowbrow. and, once again, it’s just so fucking infuriating. the White House belongs to We the People. it’s not one of Donny’s shitty golf motels. it’s not supposed to be a personal plaything he can endlessly fuck up every time some new harebrained notion rattles around in his big dumb pumpkin head.

the 2028 Democratic presidential candidate must run on a promise to appoint a cabinet-level Secretary of Unfucking All That Shit, to restore the White House — and all of DC — to its former dignified state.

and once again, I’m making it publicly known that I will volunteer to go down to DC in 2029 and personal pry that crap off the Oval Bordello walls.

who’s with me?
