The modern conservative movement continues to deafen all comers with its cacophony of stupid.
When fascists fascist, no norms, no laws, and no institution--no matter how independent that institution was and is supposed to be--is safe.
The morons who are destroying the job market and driving up inflation via tariffs, now want to be in charge of setting interest rates

The Trumpenvolk are fascists. They always have been fascists. They will remain fascists to their very last breath. And as far as they are concerned, Charlie Kirk's death is a wonderful thing because it is going to give them a chance to let the freak fascist flag fly.
Facts (like the shooter identifying with groypers) be damned. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/15/us/politics/jd-vance-charlie-kirk-show.html?smid=url-share
Oh, look. It's learning. https://x.com/patriottakes/status/1967233388147847434?s=46
Who could have possibly expected that the FBI, under idiots like Patel and Bongino, could turn into a laughing stock so quickly?
Apart from everyone with a functioning brainstem, I mean. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/us/politics/fbi-patel-kirk-shooting.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
It. Just. Keeps. Getting. Dumber. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/us/politics/trump-modi-india.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
I know that it is amazing to have to say the following—as with so much in the benighted age of Trump—but since it apparently has to be said, then let me say it: Neither Donald Trump, nor any of his supporters, bootlickers and flatterers are in any position whatsoever to lecture the rest of us on political violence, demonization, or inflammatory rhetoric.
If they are ever tempted to try, I hope that God Almighty, in Her infinite wisdom, screams at them to shut their dumb a**es up.
They have no standing. None.
Back in 2014, I announced that after eons of neglect and delay during the course and scope of my earthly existence, I had finally gotten around to seeing "The Princess Bride." The response on the part of others was to lose their goddamned minds and call me History's Greatest Monster.
Now, I am off to see "Jaws" for the first time, as it has been re-released in theaters to commemorate the film's 50th anniversary.
Everyone can start freaking out now. And I am sure that everyone will.
And now for "The Roses."
Please don't suck.
I am sure that this decision has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT KAMALA HARRIS IS GOING ON A NATIONWIDE BOOK TOUR AND THERE ARE OVER 1,500 JANUARY 6TH SEDITIONISTS/TERRORISTS/FASCISTS/A**HOLES OUT THERE IN THE ETHER WHO HAVE BEEN PARDONED BY PRESIDENT FLOPPYTITS MCCANKLESBURSTING, AND WHO JUST MAY NOT BE ABLE TO WAIT TO SHOW THEIR GRATITUDE IN THE ABSOLUTE WORST POSSIBLE WAY, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
PS: I doubt that the words "who," "turbulent" and "priest" often find their way in the discourse of Our Shambolic Doofus, but odds are that we are living in an exceptional moment right about now. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/08/29/trump-revokes-harris-security/
And now for "Nobody 2."
Please don't suck.
But remember, Kamala Harris had an annoying laugh, so it all evens out in the end.
Some people saw the Kent State Massacre decades ago, and asked, "why?" Donald Trump dreams of multiple such massacres in American cities all around the country, and asks, "why not?"
(The above statement is a paraphrase of a famous quote by Robert F. Kennedy. You remember RFK, don't you? His brother was president of the United States, and his son is the current HHS secretary, and wants to kill as many Americans as possible by playing doctor, and failing miserably.)

Starbucks Barista at the Register (hereinafter referred to as “SBATR”): “Hello. How are you today?”
Pejman of the United States (hereinafter referred to as “POTUS,” because, let’s face it, no matter how much you may dislike me, it would constitute a gigantic f***ing improvement over the status quo and the more common version of that acronym): “How am I? Donald Trump says that he is going to send troops here [in Chicago—ed.]. So, I am not all that great. How are *you* today?”
SBATR: “Well, I am just glad that it is Friday. What can I get you?”
Look, I know that this guy had to make sure he kept the line moving. But my statement should have elicited at least a *scintilla* of outrage. Instead, all it elicited was the moral equivalent of, “meh, what are you going to do?” Which means that either, (a) my general oratorical skills and my specific ability to ask rhetorical questions that drip with sulfuric acid is dissipating, or (b) an alarming degree of apathy has descended upon SBATR’s mindscape, and may have descended upon the mindscapes of way-the-Hell-too-many* Americans.
At the risk of being immodest, I highly doubt that (a) represents anything resembling a realistic reason as to why I encountered said alarming degree of apathy at one of my frequent Starbucks stops. So, I am guessing—and frankly, you very likely should too—that at the very least, the first part of (b) applies.
And maybe the second part of (b) as well.
Let me close this social media cri de coeur by paraphrasing Sterling Archer: Do you want fascism? Because this is how you get fascism.
*That’s an actual number. And if it isn’t, it ought to be.
Chicago: "Go f*** yourself. With a chainsaw. Dipped in boiling vats of syphilis, you gonorrhea-drenched mountain of cockroach s***."
The bar has now been lowered to hilariously subterranean depths.
Gavin Newsom needs to start marketing blue baseball caps with a catchy slogan in order to *really* take the parody game to the next level and make the Trumpenvolk lose whatever remains of their collective fertilizer supply.
Here comes the betrayal of Ukraine. As surely as night follows day.
Oh, and President Zelensky is going to visit the White House on Monday. I am sure that will go great and our so-called leaders will be lovely hosts.
Just like last time. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/08/16/ukraine-washington-zelensky-russia-trump/
And now for "The Naked Gun."
The ghost of Leslie Nielsen implores this movie not to suck.
