Payday

This had to hurt. 

BLOTUS was forced to pay E. Jean Carroll the $5.6 million that was jury-awarded her back in 2023. 

An NYC jury found Trump liable for sexually abusing Carroll and defaming her.  

Luckily, Carroll gets interest on top of the awarded damages due to BLOTUS dragging his feet through appeal after appeal. Even his mostly hand-picked SCOTUS wouldn't take up the final appeal. 

The fat, cognitively impaired, fecally incontinent, pedophile "president" finally had to look between his seat cushions and pay up. 

Now, $5.6 million is pocket change to a grifter who has {allegedly} made $2 BILLION, so far, off this term in office alone. But you know he fucking did it begrudgingly. 

And all appeals are done. He is a officially a guilty sexual abuser. 

You know this guy just hated paying this woman. Well.......any woman. I mean, yeah, he had to pay Ivana and Marla. Well........and Melanoma and Stormy. And Ghislaine. 

Hmmm. On the other hand, maybe it's a pattern. 

I hope Carroll does something with the money - something that humiliates BLOTUS. You know he already probably has a DOJ investigation into her. Retribution is kind of his thing. 

Let that asshole seethe for a while knowing he can be beaten. You know that has to get his goat. 

He'd probably pay to fuck that too.

Coming Down

I already have a Site of the Month semi-planned in my head, so this is not the one........but consider it a back-up. 

The courts (I haven't read which one(s)), have determined that BLOTUS put his name on the Kennedy Center I'm assuming illegally - and ordered that the name comes down. 

Now, he most certainly will either fight it, defy it, or both. Allegedly there is an imposed deadline. 

The Kennedy Center website has taken down 'his' name and all official documents have reverted to only Kennedy. I'm assuming that refers to George - only because he was great in Airport '75!

"Next month" is the closest there is for a set date for the letters to be removed. 

A resident of the Watergate has turned a webcam from his balcony to the Kennedy Center. This has been with the help of a group called Hands Off the Arts. 

So one way or another, there will be video of that child-fucker's name coming off the building. 

The live link is here.

Reading Room

With the 187th "assassination attempt" on BLOTUS, I think it's a grand time to continue to bring up the Epstein Files. 

Blobby gives a HUGE bow to the the gallery owner(s) who opted to open the Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room in NYC. 

This is SO brilliant. 

The gallery displays 3,437 volumes (or 3.5 million pages) that weigh over eight tons (just double of BLOTUS' weight).  The documents are cordoned off by a velvet rope, but still........

There is an exhibit of the statues that have popped up on the Mall in DC in the gallery as well.

And most importantly, there is a candle exhibit to honor the survivors of Epstein. 

The best part is there isn't a fucking thing BLOTUS & Co can do - save stage another assassination attempt in front of the gallery that damages the exhibit and forces them to close. ....and you read that here first. 

If I were in Manhattan, I'd be there in a fucking heartbeat and posting it everywhere. 

As it stands now, I'm not there and only posting it here. 

....there is hope the exhibit goes on tour.

Ugh - if I'm to maintain this 'blog post per day' thing, it means I need to write daily. 

I do love it when I have a lot of things, and I draft 3-4 things in one day and then don't write for 3-4 days. It's kind of nice. 

And I'm a little behind on this only because I didn't want to address it. 

The BLOTUS 'meme' of the Obamas as apes. The White House response - justifying it. As that cunt Leavitt would. You knew she would. 

BTW - aren't memes supposed to be kind of viral?  If so - exactly what "Lion King meme" is / was going around that BLOTUS jumped on the bandwagon? 

Did anyone ask that? I know I haven't seen any memes with the Lion King. Have you?

Oh - and did no one point out to Leavitt that there are no apes in the Lion King? 

My absolute favourite part of it all was the very very very temporary outrage where people insisted he apologize. 

Has ANYONE been paying attention?  

This isn't rhetorical, I'm asking:  has he EVER apologized for anything??? Once???  If so, I need references. Dates, Circumstances. 

I don't actually expect to see any reply to this - as I'm fairly certain 'sorry' isn't in his lexicon. He is a fucking sociopath. Leavitt might actually be worse. 

But seriously - where are the Black leaders?  Where are the Black GOP leaders (if there are any now that Ben Carson isn't around) who have publicly said anything???

Granted, I'm not reading the news so maybe it's happened, but not loud enough where it has seeped through past papers. 

But no - he's not racist. 

Fuck. 

But I'd be remiss if I didn't post someone's response to his post.

I Won't Crap Out

I don't know if this is true or not - nor do I care. 

MAGA and the GOP are fine with making up stories and lies to further whatever agenda they might have - or just for the fun of it.

But it is said that BLOTUS became VonShitzinPantz a few days back - in the oval office filled with people. 

There is allegedly auditory and olfactory "evidence" of this event. 

I hope to g-d it's true. 

Say what you will about Pappy Joe and his age, I never heard that he fell asleep in meetings or behind the desk, let alone crapped his trousers. 

It got me thinking how many identical suits, shirts and ties VSP has in closets all over the White House. Plus the power washer to clean out that crevASSe. Oh, and the incinerator to put all those Depends and bio-hazard bags into the fire. 

I mean you know he probably shits himself several times per day. So, there has to be this huge wardrobe and on-site dry cleaner working 24/7 - though they probably LOVE it when he goes golfing. Open the windows and air the place out. 

I understand they do (or can) change out the carpet in the oval office - and I hear it matters which way the eagles head is facing and which talon holds the arrows et al. But now, they probably just have to swap that out now and again to Bissell the fecal stains out of the fibers. 

Truth be told, I did search out the video, but I couldn't hear "the accident". Though people in the room were ushered out quickly.  

g-d, I'd love to see the résumé of these aides whose sole job it is to scoot people out of harm's way. 

And let us remember that years ago Bob Woodward already let the world know this.

Hang 'em High

I've kind of ignored political posting for a while.  2-5 weeks, depending on what you consider "political". 

I do not think I have any MAGA followers, but if so, I would certainly (and legitimately) like their take on the GOPs constant - and no longer even cloaked - hate of Jews, Persons of Color and Women. 

Is there anyone - ANYONE - who thinks Hegseth's name card is even remotely an "accident"?

Not me. Not for one second did it cross my mind that it might be. I swear "they" do it to see if anyone even notices. And if they do - if they care. 

They do. And they don't. Respectively.  

Kind of myself included. It's just expected. It's not a shock. It's not a surprise. It's who they are. They've shown it time and again in other ways. It is just so fucking blatant now.

Knowing I don't read news, I was with Morty this weekend when he told me that the National Parks have free admission on Federal holidays. Except the BLOTUS administration has rolled back two of those. Morty wondered if I could guess which ones. It took me all of 4 seconds to say "MLK Day" and "Juneteenth". 

Shocking. 

If there is one Black supporter of BLOTUS and they see this blatant racism and they're ok with it - well...we are just fucked as a nation. 

Morty then told me they did add one additional day for free admission:  BLOTUS' Birthday. 

Swear to fucking g-d. 

It's just all so sickening. 

But while using a restroom at a record store (yes, an honest to g-d record store - it. was. heaven!!!!) the other day, I saw this and was so uplifted for a bit. 

I'm wondering where I can post it without the Secret Service or ICE escorting me off this planet.

I'm Goin' Down

Never Ever Ever EVER, in a kerjillion years, would this have ever been on my Bingo Card for the Absurd. Or any Bingo card in any realm. 

Full disclosure:  I have yet to click on any one of the stories surrounding the notion that BLOTUS went down on Bubba. 

Headlines are more than enough - even if 100% false. 

Even if it was a mock Monica Lewinsky reference /  going down "joke" that lasted 0.0001 seconds. And someone got it on 'film'. 

A moment on the lips..........   I suppose that explains those might hips. 

You know, even if it's not true, and it was a joke email exchange between brothers is enough for me. 

I know Lewinsky has a podcast (everyone else has one!) so this could be a wealth of episodes for her. Honestly, I feel bad for her. Ugh - to be lumped in with that fucking fat shitbag of a 'president' (the current one, and actually the past one) has got to be humiliating.  Still, she could have the Fellater in Chief 

I'd say humiliating for Hilary too, but I just feel bad for Chelsea and her kids. 

I mean...............I guess the author of this Tweet would know, right?  First "hand" knowledge. 

Allegedly the DOJ has been directed to looking into Clinton / Epstein shit, but not BLOTUS. Even though BLOTUS said all the emails are a 'hoax'. 

When is ANYTHING going to stick to this piece of shit?

And while I'm sure the full picture exists, I only found it in two parts. I didn't even bother to try to photoshoppe it. 

Both look drunk as fuck. However, there is not enough alcohol in the world where I'd allow that fat fuck to touch me. 

And since I didn't click on anything, read a paper or watch the news (though watching David Muir trying to discuss oral sex from two presidents would be HILARIOUS!)  I don't know any of the story behind it. 

It is very very sad to say, but that this would sit worse with MAGA than BLOTUS fucking children. They expect that by now, no? 

But GAY activity............with a DEMOCRAT?????  Something cannot be forgiven.

Revolt

No Kings Redux.

I knew it was coming. Unlike last time, I couldn't get jazzed. 

I'd love to tell you I talked myself out of going at the last minute, but in reality I never made plans to attend.

My spirit is dampened to say the least. 

I can do 'woe is me' at home. And while I get that's not the point of these get togethers, I just couldn't muster the energy to go. 

The day here was perfect for it. It reached the upper 70s and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. I can't tell you how many people came to the downtown Cleveland event - not because I was not there, but the new orgs I Goooooooogled just said "thousands". 

Yeahhhhhhhhh.......that tells a story, doesn't it? 

There were to be over 2600 protests country-wide. Ohio had a fair share of them. Even the NE Ohio red areas like Strongsville, Mentor, Hudson and the likes. 

I heard over 40,000 in Portland. 100,000 in NYC and Los Angeles (each). San Francisco had 50k. Chicago had "tens of thousands" - so that narrows it down. One report said there were over a million in Boston, but that last number seems highly unlikely. 

Many cities reported a greater showing than the one in June. 

That's great. 

But can we stop calling it "kings"?   

This fucktard doesn't want to be king, He wants to be - no IS - a dictator. 

Anymore, King / Queens are ceremonial figureheads at best. They are for show. 

Let's call this what it is. Even our own protests stifle the reality of the situation by not calling that out. Maybe "king" sells better in marketing shit, but it is so not the reality. 

I have to give it up to my Old Man's Running Group. Just about everyone who showed yesterday to run and eat at the bakery were leaving to go to one rally or another. It's a group where we rarely talk politics, but these guys were gonna go. 

Someone posted a few weeks back that the US is doing this all wrong - and maybe we are. They pointed to France where when they protest, they do it for days, weeks or months at a time, shutting down systems, cities, infrastructure. 

Let's be honest, like the title image, the Frogs have some history behind their success in that area. I mean, I'd PAY handsomely to go to a public execution of BLOTUS. 

What, if anything, comes out of these protests is to be seen. So far, no one in public office seems to be running scared of anything. Maybe we need to step up the game.

Closedown

It's a somewhat fucked up scenario when you're therapist has to be the one to inform you of a government shut down. 

In theory, I knew it was coming, but honestly had no idea of the date. Save for posting one item on FB (my Akron run), I have pretty much avoided social media, and reading a newspaper might make me break out into hives..............or self harm. 

The GOP has the White House, the house House and the Senate. Oh - and the Supreme Court. 

How in the fucking world did they not have the votes to avoid a shut down??

Ohhhhhh......that's right. They didn't want to avoid. And I'm betting that they're blaming the dems for the impasse. It's a tried an true tactic and with this administration it will work. Nothing - and so far, NOTHING - sticks to them. 

BLOTUS has been vocal that if there is a shut down he'll start firing Federal workers. I'm about 100% certain they will be ones who haven't pledeged some kind of allegiance to this administration. 

Get rid of the naysayers on the payroll and you have an easier path to your full dictatorship.  The GOP is using this shut down (should that be one word?) to use more and more marionette strings to manipulate its inhabitants. 

And yes, this is what I believe to be true. 

Again, I think my shrink thinks I'm nuts, but I'll give him this, he doesn't show it in his facial reactions. Or lack thereof. 

I have heard no chatter on this shutdown (see, one word this time) and its intended length. 

With 25 days until the Marine Corps Marathon, I suspect should this go on too long, the event will be cancelled. Many of the areas of said run are on US Park land. If the government is shut down, so are the parks. 

Between my hip fracture last year and this fissure of a cunt-ry, it seems I might not be destined to ever run this race.

Maybe someone is trying to tell me something. 

(and seriously - how much $$$ do you think the government spent on Shutdown / Closed signs? )

Statues

I could do research and read shit, but I have zero motivation to do so. My ability to focus and follow-through just is not there lately. I am assuming it is part of my depression and anxiety, but I'm trying to navigate it all. 

Anyhooo......

A while back, temporary statues have been showing up on the National Mall. Mostly, if not all, BLOTUS related. None of them complementary. 

And these aren't rogue They are getting permits from the District (or Dept of Interior?) to be put up.  

The newest (and current) one is up top. BLOTUS and Jeffrey Epstein. 

LOVE IT. 

I mean, not an accurate representation or BLOTUS would be much much - eh hum - "heftier". 

But since the election, other have appeared. They are only up for a short amount of time - not because they're trashed or mishandled, but because that is what the permit length states. Or what was requested. 

Here are some of the others. 

Bad enough.........but you really need to see it from the side-angel to fully "appreciate" the work. 

I'll be honest, I'm not sure what this is. 

Yes, Bible holding mockery in light of the BLM marches in 2020. 

....and mockery of dance. 

Again, I've done zero research so I don't know who is behind it, but I love them just the same.

Sacrifce

I maybe full conspiracy theorist with this one.........and I'm fairly comfortable with it. 

Charlie Kirk had to die.  

End of sentence. 

This is not a white supremacy thing - though it factors into matters. 

It wasn't a religious thing - though it factors into the matter. 

This is not a transexual thing - though it factors into matters. 

This isn't even necessarily a GOP v Dem thing - though, yes, say it with me, it factors into matters. 

BLOTUS' blowing up of boats - not remotely trying to intercept them - did not change the national narrative on Epstein. 

Rumours of BLOTUS' health did not quell those stories either. 

They had to think bigger and badder - and someone had to take the bullet. Literally. 

With Kirk, they got the multi-pronged approach achieved. 

Now the cunt-ry is in an uproar about a known BLOTUS loving, white supremacist who wrapped hatred to look like religion being shot to death - publicly and on video - to achieve that uproar. 

If you hadn't noticed - there are no stories about BLOTUS and Epstein currently.  

MISSION: ACCOMPLISHED. 

They added / leaked stories of the shooter - and I quote: "living with a tranny"!!  So they did all the - a-hem - trigger points with one sacrificial lamb.  That the shooter couldn't have been Black and Jewish is just a shame. 

Even Kirk would have been proud. 

Naturally, it gets better, no? 

Did the AP or NYT report Kirk's death?  Nope. BLOTUS announced it. The body?  Picked up by Air Force Two. Flags flying at half-mast!

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK????

Rewind a few months - to a military helicopter bringing down a passenger jet in the Potomac, killing all 67 people on board. BLOTUS couldn't be bothered even addressing it.  Nor did he when Minnesota DEMOCRATIC politician was assassinated in their homes along with family members and the right-winged shooter had a hit list of other dems. 

No presidential or congressional outpouring of anything. 

Yes, I've seen the memes that had Charlie Kirk been a 4th grader, we would have moved on by now. 

Still, this comes down to BLOTUS. He is far far far too involved with a singular private citizen death. 

And again. EPSTEIN.  

Oddly this all happened right after a number of Epstein's victims testified before Congress and BLOTUS' birthday message to Jeffy was revealed. The walls were coming in. He had to do something. 

So he did. 

....and I'm sticking to this. That they let the shooter live seems like the only flaw in the plan. Assuming he really was the shooter.

Die Already

On my primary iPhone app screen, I have both NYT and CNN there. It used to be I clicked on both multiple times daily. I do use the NYT one for the Games section, but that's it. CNN hasn't been opened since May 2024. 

I should probably delete the CNN app at the very least. I can't see me ever going back and reading stuff. Not even his obituary.......and you know of whom I speak.  I suppose I could move it the app to my last screen which houses stuff I almost never view. 

I set this all up to say, I'm still avoiding news, but as you know it's hard to avoid people posting social media shit. 

Yesterday - and I have no way to verify any of this without looking at news - I read that BLOTUS has not been out in public or spoken publicly for a week. Rumours of him being at Walter Reed Hospital seemingly persist. 

I rolled my eyes at one person who said, "I saw an ambulance in his motorcade!!!!!".   Oh honey, since Kennedy there has always been at least one ambulance in every presidential and vice presidential motorcade. Don't spread rumours or hopes that he has died. It's uninformed and taunting at the same time. 

Another post shows a large black bruise on the back of his hand. Both my parents had those from multiple IVs.....so no doubt he's being treated for something. But the caption was: "If my hand gets any darker, it have to take away it's voting rights". 

While we were away, I also saw some chatter about Vance stating he was ready to take on the presidency. 

Lord. There's a scary thought. And maybe a telltale one at that. 

That said: he needs to die. 

Soon. Very soon. 

I'd prefer it were a bullet to the head or shoulder to air missile launch, but at this point, if he goes from whatever disease he has, or goes out the Ivana way, I'm good. 

At that point I would get a flag and keep it at full mast.

King Nothing

As foretold, I went to the No Kings protest yesterday. 

I was going to go even if it rained - and all night and morning before, it POURED. For my run group, I was one of four people to actually show it was raining so hard. Again, it's just water - and I had a very decent run, so I was ok. 

As you saw in my 12 of 12, I did indeed get supplies for a poster, and while I thought the print out wouldn't work out - it was great actually.  It was larger than most posters people brought and I got stopped dozens of times by people asking if they could take a picture of it. I was happy to oblige. 

One I know was taken by UPI and ended up in their reel, but I'll be interested to see (if I ever find out) where others will pop up. 

I was extremely pleased with the turnout. I'm bad at guesstimates, but I'd go with 5,000-ish. Hell, in my conservative hometown 20 miles away they had 700. That even seemed outrageous. I'm not sure that place has 700 democrats, let alone all of them showing up in one place at one time. 

Maybe people are pissed. Maybe even some republicunts.

As for the CLE protest, it was peaceful (allegedly only one person arrested for disorderly conduct), somewhat well organized, though any speeches given would have been like Aragorn addressing the troops at the Black Gate.  Unless you were in a certain part of the first row, no one heard a thing. They didn't have adequate PAs.    ......nor did they have port-a-potties. Like.....any.

I mean, I didn't need one, but when you have 5k show up.......and you organized this thing.....I have to believe some DID need one. Hard to believe Cleveland gave them a permit (should they have applied for one?) without that kind of thing tossed in there.

Oddly, I think, there were zero counter protesters. If there were any, I saw none of them, heard none of them. That said, I did bring my ID in case there were outbursts and arrests. The George Floyd protests are still vivid:  burning cars, fights, fights with the police

I won't even say people just got along. They were all there for the same reason. No one was overjoyed to have to be here, they / we were there as a necessity. There was frustration and anger. No Kings was not - nor meant to be - a smiley happy affair. Of course, smiles were had. 

Below are some of the good signs. I'm sure I've missed many.  These are almost in no particular order. 

.....almost. 

See?  It came out ok, no?

One lady came up to me and goes, "......but are you, really?"   It took a minute, but my shirt was a purposeful choice for the rally. 

I joked that Fred Armisen was at the rally. My sister laughed and said, "it DOES look like him". So I followed and took a few shots. 

I later found out - from a friend of a friend - the Rock Hall was having an SNL 50th Anniversary exhibit that opened later last evening. So, he probably didn't look like Fred, because it probably was Fred.

Girl Fight Tonight !

OMFG. 

If for nothing else, the last day has proved that life is just an extension of high school. 

Though, it's all just mean girls. Honestly though, I don't know which one is Regina George! 

Musk and BLOTUS might both be Martha Dumptruck - though that is from Heathers, which may have been the original Mean Girls. 

This girl fight might actually bring on the destruction of the world. Or at least put this cunt-ry to a screeching halt. 

I'm putting Musk's above tweet here just for historical purposes. I'm assuming everyone has seen or heard about it before this publishes. But when / if someone looks back at this blog-thingy, there need to be semi-context. 

This didn't start the pissing match, but it escalated it. Honestly, I'm not exactly sure what started the butt-hurt feelings of both of them, but their shell is thinner than onion skin, so you know it didn't take much. 

Now, Elon's revelation isn't news. I think everyone knew BLOTUS was on Epstein's flight logs. So unless there is evidence he fucked an 11 year old, it matters little. Actually, in this day and age, if it is released he fucked an 11 year old, nothing will change for him.   

Nothing. 

And if Musk knows this (and you know he does), why hasn't he kicked a sexual predator off of X?  I got banned years ago for wishing harm on Mitt Romney's family. Not a threat. Just a wish. 

Mekka-Lekka-Hi-Mekka-Hiney-Ho.

But there is no one in Congress who would treat him any differently. Nor his cult followers. 

BLOTUS, in retaliation has threatened to cancel billions of $$$ worth of contracts for Space X, Starlink, Neurolink and Tesla. 

I mean, they never should have been put in place at all, but this is an administration who doesn't understand 'conflict of interest'. 

The back and forth between these two gals, is somewhat funny, but I also know how they like to distract this way from bigger things - happening or to come. 

But even if this is all really happening, it's enough of its own distraction to harm the U.S., assuming we have anything left to harm. 

Still - porn stache bitimoji Blobby is eating this up.  Kind of. I mean, I haven't read a thing that isn't a tweet that has gotten to me. But I'm not sure BLOTUS can win this one. Elon probably has shit for days on that guy - and while I hate him too, I'm here for it. 

Of course, I found the below to be HILARIOUS.

Something More Than Free

I love that BLOTUS is picking on Harvard. 

I mean, I'm not, but in a battle of wits, who do we think is going to prevail here? 

While it might be a long and painful road, but I'm picking the university. 

VonShitshisPantz gets so butt hurt at every little thing and it so retributive, I don't know how / when he has time to eat and sleep. 

I mean, he takes a dump right in his pants, so he's not wasting time with bathroom breaks, obvi. 

But fuck if I didn't go to Harvard's website to find the free courses - for you and for me. Honestly, we should all sign up. I'm sure it will put us on some list, but let's face it, half of us are already on 'some list' he and his cronies has drawn up.

• American Government: Constitutional Foundations
• U.S. Public Policy: Social, Economic, and Foreign Policies
• Citizen Politics in America: Public Opinion, Elections, Interest Groups, and the Media
• U.S. Political Institutions: Congress, Presidency, Courts, and Bureaucracy
• Lessons from Ebola: Preventing the Next Pandemic
• Prescription Drug Regulation, Cost, and Access: Current Controversies in Context
• Leadership: Creating Public Value
• Justice
• We the People: Civic Engagement in a Constitutional Democracy

Granted, the 'Ebola' one might not be super applicable, but since Covid was on BLOTUS' watch, you know, it can't hurt. But some of the others are sure to get under his thin skin. 

Each course is hyperlinked so you can look at more detailed course descriptions. 

Just to reiterate:

All courses are FREE.  

All courses are on-line.  No needing to move to Cambridge, MA.  .....though I highly recommend hanging out on the banks of the Charles, watching the Bostonian men exercise shirtless up and down the river. 

The first and last classes alone seem worth it alone.

Three Time Loser

Oh - for fuck's sake, there was no assassination attempt. Not really. 

A gun. A might-be shooter. No shot. Nothing hit. No one hit.  .....and let's face it, the target isn't small. 

Let's face it: someone had a disastrous debate that social media was NOT letting go of. They / We were running it into the ground all at his expense. And LOVING it. And since his ego is onion paper thin, what could he do?  

Play his greatest hit. That's what. 

A "shooter" who knew where he'd be, even though by the would be victim's own admission, golfing was a last minute decision. Another "shooter" who could evade secret service until the last minute. A fund raising email referencing the shooting immediately after the incident - even though there was no shooting.  None. 

Leonard Berntstein couldn't arrange that kind of orchestration. 

Yes, his life is in danger, but mostly from fat and hopefully 95% clogged arteries. 

I respect people's views here about violence and all, but with this guy, you know, I'd turn a blind eye. Sometimes sacrifice for the greater good has to happen. He is collateral damage for this nation. For the world, really. 

While I know everyone thinks Tiffany is the simpleton of the family, I do think title goes to the fourth favourite son (and yes, I know there are only three.......but I'm standing by this). 

It seems Eric is hyper-unaware of his father's stance on guns, and lack of accountability for licensing, eduction, background checks and training for them. Also, you know, the entire GOP positioning. 

But as this was posted on ABC's IG site, I did answer Eric's question:

GUILT

 

Guess who gets the rare 2nd post of the day post?

That's right:  YOU!

I already had something prepped and scheduled for posting tomorrow.....and this can't take place of pet day. And it can't wait until Sunday. 

I started getting texts earlier in the afternoon about a verdict. I was not mentally prepared for one so soon. Not even 10 hours of deliberation. 

On the plus side, it was far too quick for a hung jury - which was possibly the worst case scenario. And actually too quick for an acquittal too. I mean, it was doubtful BLOTUS was getting an acquittal on all charges, so to sort through 34 would have taken longer.  

Still, I didn't want to presume. Or hope. 

All fucking 34 counts:  GUILTY. 

VonShitinPantz' reaction was predictable. He only had two words:  disgraceful and rigged.  He said over and over while his Depends was filling up. I'm assuming. He's addled. 

His one female lawyer put her head on the table when the verdict was read.  My take?  She just realized she wasn't getting paid. 

I feel bad for the judge and jurors. They are targets. As are their families. And collateral damage to whomever works with or near them. Just remember - the FBI, Secret Service or DC police never found who planted two pipe bombs at the Capitol on January 6th. 

Palestine might be a safer place for them at this point. 

While appeals will be forthcoming, sentencing is scheduled for three days before the GOP National Convention. Or as I'm calling it: the beginning of the end. 

Thousands of cult members - armed - and their GOP representatives all in one place. What could possibly go wrong? BTW. GOP members who have already pledged their support since the guilty verdicts. 

SHEEP. 

I would not want to be a resident, or police officer, in Milwaukee during this time. 

Yes, I'm glad he was delivered another guilty verdict brought at the hands of a female. But I won't lie - I'm wringing my hands. Retribution is at hand. It's not going to go well. 

But - yay.  Justice!

Sucker

Yes, another Musk post.  Sorry. 

P.T. Barnum said there was a sucker born every minute.   ......and I'm not even talking about all the undergrads on the 6th floor of the stacks at OSU's main library. 

Tesla Cybertruck - or RoboCop on wheels - is now like four years behind schedule. 

Hardly newsworthy. On any levels. 

But the price is a bit higher than anticipated. And by 'anticipated' I mean, stated in 2019 when they announced it. 

$20,000 more. 

$40,000 more, if you want it in 2024. 

The original price was to be at the $40,000 mark. No longer.   Tesla blames Covid, supply chain and inflation.  As much as things have increased in the recent future, I don't think it's been a 50% increase in items. 

And even if it did - 100% increase due to timing? 

I think we can still echo Elon's words from ysterday:  "Go. Fuck. Yourself."

I mean, I loved the press a few months back about the AR gun that shot into the panels and didn't penetrate the vehicle (or something like that).  But you know what it does pierce?  Windows. And driver's heads. 

It's like kevlar vests cops wear. Yeah, great, if someone doesn't point a gun to your temple. 

I have an acquaintance who will swear up and down about his Tesla. And he got it well after everyone knew what a dick Musk was.  He says it's the car not the man.  Except the car makes the man money or helps provide a platform for his hate and stupidity. 

He tried brushing me off. So I opted to push further. His husband is a person of colour. I pointed out that it's an open fact that in Tesla factories, black workers are almost forced to sit together at lunch at a place the white workers call "monkey island". 

Say it's a problem of the supervior, manager or HR, but honestly the buck stops with Musk. If you want to be the big boy, you have to wear big boy pants. So, where antisemitism might not affect my "friend" (he's not), I thought I'd toss a little racism in there too. 

He was unswayed. 

He is the first to make fun of the cult of BLOTUS.  He's just joined a different cult. But both are derived by power and hate. In that order, even. The hate was always there. The power makes them able to flaunt it, seemingly with little repercussion.

Turning Tide

I'm stealing today's image from the Other Brett........who is kind of just Brett now. The initial Brett is no longer blogging or even following this blog.  To be honest, I'm not sure other "Other" Brett is either. 

So far, 4 of the 19 defendants in the Georgia election fraud trail have pleaded guilty with the contingency they testify at other trails.  .....that's assuming anyone is still standing by the time there area actual trial dates. 

Oh, I mean, BLOTUS isn't gonna fold, because.....well.....BLOTUS. 

Rudy can't. As I said before, the current Felon-elect has some kind of shit on that guy, or he'd have turned long ago. 

For the life of me, I don't know (or care?) if former Chief of Staff (I think BLOTUS has like 7 of them) Mark Meadows is part of the Georgia klan (yes, with a 'k'), but he's now doing tricks for the DOJ on a Federal level. 

Meadows has immunity.......contingent upon testifying at said Federal trial(s) on January 6th activity. 

And fuck if Michael Cohen isn't making BLOTUS squirm at a NYC trial as we speak. 

Sure, Cohen is scum, and BLOTUS bad mouths him, but he's bad-mouthed anyone who's ever been fired or quit - though he hired them originally as the "best people".  BLOTUS doesn't have a great track record and little to no intuition on staff he hires. The best people all turn out to be "losers". 

Neither he, nor the media, seem to pick up on this dichotomy. I saw one interviewer tee that question up not long ago, and BLOTUS answer was something else, diverting - successfully - the guy who never ever ever ever came back to the question.  

Fuck. BLOTUS may as well just said, "these are not the droids you're looking for". 

I don't know about the timing, or if it matters, but the walls are crumbling. Yet, I don't think BLOTUS or the RNC give a flying fuck. Ditto with the GOP voters. 

We are truly a fucked up bunch of people as a whole.

Falling Apart

It's probably too good to be true, but man oh man, I hope BLOTUS & Sons go down in flames. 

I mean, if they could take their feckless cunt of a sister down with them, it would be better, but a judge let her our of the mix a year or so back. 

A NY judge, for those reading this years later for historical purposes, cited fraud for the (t)Rump Organization for over inflating value to their assets, mostly real estate - including his self-named tower. 

The judge effectively revoked BLOTUS' licenses to operate his NY properties — and potentially an even broader swath of the family business that BLOTUS built over the last half-century. The ruling left much of his New York operation hanging in the balance.

Oh please oh please oh please..............

I would so love to see his buildings be stripped of his name. For all his business failures - and they are many - having his real estate holdings in NY taken from him, would have to sting. 

I mean, I'd love to know BLOTUS Jr and Eric got dry fucked in prison, but the start of the fall of their empire is a start.
