So I see the Dunning-Krugerest fellow to eer walk the Earth has decided to refer to his opponent, who dog-walked him so brutally in their one face-to-face encounter that he now curls up in the fetal position, sucking that runty little thumb of his, at the mere mention of the word debate
as a dummy.
(As ever, get this post with nifty nooz links here: https://showercapblog.com/the-further-adventures-of-the-flatulent-rapist-and-his-loser-death-cult/)
In a just world, when a blithering doofus who comprehends how neither tariffs nor umbrellas work, who spent years (YEARS) bragging about passing a cognitive test, impugns anyone elses intelligence, the ghost of Alex Trebeck would appear, to, at the very least, fart directly into his mouth.
Speaking of imbecility and passing gas, the Dotard used a speech in Detroit as an opportunity to shit on Detroit, and possibly in his pants as well. Pretty consistent with the trajectory hes been on since that trial he sleep-farted through; you remember the one, where he got convicted on all 34 felony charges?
Shucks, hes deteriorated to the point where even the New York Times has taken notice. Better late than never, since the all but visibly decomposing old fop can no longer navigate a podcast interview without the hosts laughing directly in his face at his decline. Since his Art of the Deal ghost writer says, Its long been deeply unsettling to me how many behaviors associated with psychopathy Mr. Trump exemplifies. Since former Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley calls him the most dangerous person to this country, and a fascist to the core.
Since hes apparently remained in regular phone contact with freakin Putin. Hey, Vlad, I was just dropping a line to see how your genocidal war of conquest was going. Still bogged down, huh? Well, if you can hack up some new emails for me, maybe I can do something about that! I, um, guess your get well soon card from the last assassination attempt got lost in the mail like the first one, huh?
Anyhoo, maybe we can reassign some of the reporters from the summers 24/7 Joe Biden Stammer Police beat to figure out precisely what the fuck Biden circles are? To ask him, once and for all, just who he imagines the late, great Hannibal Lecter is or was?
Though his handlers have prudently kept him away from military cemeteries of late, Off-Brand Orbán still manages to squeeze an impressive amount of desecration into his schedule, defiling a Purple Heart here, a Jewish prayer book there, grinning like a brain-damaged hyena while holding a photograph of a hostage kidnapped by Hamas
projectile indecency is simply second nature to him.
Now, personally, I wouldnt go around ranting about bad genes were the fruit of my loins as staggeringly subpar as Junior n Eric, but of course theres a reason 21st century Americas white supremacists spend their lives snugly cocooned within a disinformation-saturated alternate reality.
which, and Im addressing this to the alien anthropologists excavating the blasted remains of our dumbfuck civilization in the surely-not-too-distant future, is how we wound up with a culture that responds to natural disasters by threatening scientists lives.
Yeah, meteorologists are receiving death threats now, thats normal and healthy, right? Might wanna ask the doc about that at our next checkup. Oh, the doctor fled the country after her office was deluged with bomb threats, you say? Reasonable.
The real shame of this, the what-the-fuckest hurricane season since the Dark Ages at least, is so much of the carnage couldve been avoided. Kamala was totally prepared to turn the weather machine down, if not all the way off, but Ron DeSantis refused to take her call, because he was too busy threatening criminal charges against television stations that air abortion rights ads.
So now the FEMA battalions march through Real America, confiscating Trumpy Trouts from those sheeple too timid to heed Laura Loomers call for noncompliance. And we never wouldve learned any of this if Elon Musk hadnt overpaid for one of the worlds largest social media platforms.
I see Elons decided to put in a bid for the most bribable man alive, suppressing stories on Xwitter at the campaigns request, offering exorbitant, probably illegal wages to swing state canvassers, perhaps even going a-door-knockin himself. Of course, should the nation actually fall to this grotesque supervillain team-up, of the guy who bankrupted casinos and the guy who lost more money than anyone in human history, by summer 2025, youll find America up on cinder blocks outside a meth lab.
While Musk no doubt amasses a bonesaw dismemberment list in anticipation of having his very own pet president to puppet, hes gonna have to get in line, and the queue for state-sponsored vengeance gets longer every day: Milley, Romney, Deloitte, (the whole company is to be punished because one employee leaked those messages where JD Vance accidentally told the truth about his future running mate) CBS, (for that 60 Minutes interview Littlefinger was too chickenshit to do) plus whoever blew up Mr. McMahon on Monday Night Raw all those years ago.
Turns out Trump Bibles are produced in China, presumably in a sweatshop down the street from the one that manufactures those bright red baseball caps we use to identify our idiots. Im assuming made in America didnt make it onto that carefully crafted, grifter-friendly checklist Oklahoma Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters concocted for his little unconstitutional shopping spree.
So, on the Sunday shoz and elsewhere, a number of prominent Republicans, including Senator Tom Cotton, and the Speaker of the Whole Dang House of Representatives, were unable to answer a question any third grader could: who won the 2020 election?
So Im thinking its time to lower the bar. Forget about policy, we need to know which of our elected representatives believe the Earth is flat. Is the moon made of green cheese? In the case of a legitimate rape, does the female body indeed possess ways of shutting that whole thing down? (Boy, Akin wouldnt even merit an above-the-fold headline in 2024, would he?) Do you believe the government controls the weather via space lasers, be they Jewish-owned or communal?
Apparently we need to ask these questions of the GOPs nominee for Vice President of the United States. Cmon JD, what other objective truths do you deny? You probably think Shane lives at the end, dont you? DONT YOU?
Viewers who normally tune in to Jesse Watters show for the sneering misogyny and wingnut propaganda got a special treat this week, in the form of dating advice, from the least impressive white supremacist this side of Nick Fuentes.
I guess my worry is that when Im in the gulag, getting waterboarded, with my testicles hooked up to a car battery, I still wont be able to force myself to refer to Stephen Miller as a sexual matador, no matter how much I may want the pain to stop. Anyway, once you appear on national television with spray-on hair, you forever lose all rights to refer to anyone else as beta, thats on the tablets Moses hauled down from the mountaintop.
Okay, thats more than enough of that. I do believe I shall now drink until the neural pathway within my poor, beleaguered brain, between Stephen Miller and sexual matador is bludgeoned to atoms. I shall no doubt require fiscal assistance in this noble quest for sweet obliteration, so feel free to drop a few bucks in the ol tip jar, (now accepting, you guessed it, PayPal, Cash App, AND Venmo) because I actually think about matadors quite a bit, thanks to that one Bugs Bunny short.

TY for sharing!

(34,665 posts)A few darling Zers (thats what they call themselves, get used to it) have come by my humble hovel to poke me with a long stick from a safe distance (as theyve learned to do for typical members of my demographic) and inform me about how to go about voting to ensure the future they have in mind.
After these encounters, I have found that not only are they darling and come in a virtual rainbow of shapes, colors, and sizes. They are extremely mature, engaged, and competent. I have no fear of a future full of them. I trust their future to happen, eventually.
What I do fear is the ugliness that exists around all of us, right now. Its such a contrast to what is on the horizon. I cant fathom why so many insist on getting to a happy future the hard way.
