Cliven Bundy gets away with armed robbery

Posted on January 8, 2018 by Sabina Becker

And even worse, they can’t re-try him. What are the odds that this would happen to, say, a black or Latino guy who robbed a liquor store?

What a fucked-up world.

While a Palestinian girl sits in jail, Newsweek paints her captors as victims

Posted on January 7, 2018 by Sabina Becker

Jimmy Dore points out the hypocrisy of the major media, who paint Ahed Tamimi as “no angel” (sound familiar?) while her country’s occupiers kill one cousin of hers after another, and shoot her brother in the head. And they make her out to be the villain for smacking a soldier who roughed her up?

BTW, what Steph, a former teacher, says near the end about teaching Romeo and Juliet to high schoolers, shouldn’t be missed. The occupation of Palestine has a lot in common with the Capulet/Montague feud in Verona. And Ahed is the same age as I was when we studied that play in high school. Bear in mind that Ahed can’t even go to school without passing through military checkpoints.

But yeah, she’s totally no angel!

PS: Here’s another example of the awfulness of major media reporting on Israel and Palestine, as exposed by Jimmy & co.:

Shameful. Just SHAMEFUL. Who’s worse: self-righteous authoritarian snotball Nikki Fucking Haley, with her barely-veiled threats and her lies about what “the American people” want (on which they were NOT consulted), or the media for defending this pile of shits?

Neo-Nazi parent killer to be tried as a MINOR???

Posted on January 6, 2018 by Sabina Becker

This is outrageous and frankly racist:

Why racist? Because black teenagers sure don’t get the same privilege. If THEY are accused of committing a crime, never mind if they’re even totally innocent…they get tried as ADULTS. Hell, a 12-year-old black kid was killed for carrying what was in fact a toy gun, because some dumb cop apparently couldn’t tell a preadolescent apart from an adult. No doubt the darkness of that kid’s skin obscured his age!

No such problem with THIS motherfucker, though. He’ll probably get made out to be an innocent little boy who was wronged by the overly suspicious and protective parents of his girlfriend, or some such rot.

Douchebag Donnie’s seduction technique is…um…

Posted on January 6, 2018 by Sabina Becker

…really rather awful, don’t you think? I mean, just listen to this:

Yeah, that’s right…he attempted to pry them away from their husbands by letting them listen in on his speakerphone while he dangled other women in front of the husbands!

He seriously thought that the way to get into a woman’s pants is to openly advertise the fact that he himself is a cheating douchebag, and that he’s not above trying to corrupt her lawfully wedded spouse into being one, too? In what bizarro world is that going to do anything but backfire? Because any woman with an ounce of self-respect and an understanding of the dangers of STDs is going to stay far away from the man who brags that he’s flying in some “girls from LA” or wherever just for the purposes of sex…never mind that he also offered them to her spouse while she was listening in on the phone call! In NO way is such a man ever desirable. Nobody loves a fuckboy, much less an over-aged fuckboy! (And if he tried to push his luck anyway, wouldn’t that be sexual assault? Because it’s not just duress that makes a rape, but also deception…)

I realize I’m probably not speaking for every heterosexual woman here, and maybe this is why I’ve never been married, but if I were, and my husband had a friend who acted like this toward him and me, I’d be giving Dear Hubby an ultimatum: Either find some new friends, or find a new wife. Yeah, that’s right: I’d make no secret of what I’d heard, and no bones about what I expect in terms of spousal behavior. Anything less than a categorical refusal to cheat on me is not good enough.

And if he didn’t divorce the douchebag buddy who dangled other women in front of him, his next conversation with me would be through my attorney. As the old saying goes: Better to be alone than in bad company.

Wankers of the Week: Donnie’s Big Red Button

Posted on January 5, 2018 by Sabina Becker

Crappy weekend, everyone! And an especially crappy one to everyone who’s being hit with rotten winter weather right now. Just remember, folks, Donnie the Cuck says global warming isn’t happening! Which goes to show you how much HE knows. And here are the rest of this week’s know-nothings, who deserve to be locked out in the cold…in no particular order:

1. Kellie Fucking Leitch. She’s still in denial over just how badly she lost her bid to lead the Conservative Party of Canada. Remind you of anyone?

2. Pamela Fucking Sharma. No, dear, you’re not a victim of racism. You’re a perpetrator. Because you’re the one who slung anti-black stereotypes at a black woman’s head. Remember that? And no, you are NOT “highly educated” if you don’t even have the basic smarts to recognize THAT.

3. Roseanne Fucking Barr. Hey, remember HER? Yeah. She’s gone ‘round the bend, and I mean ALL THE WAY. Because just how else would you describe someone who thinks that a man who perpetuates sex trafficking of children, and has even participated in it, would ever do anything to stop it?

4. Assaf Fucking Wohl. What he knows about Palestine would fill a book…a blank book, which by coincidence contains just as much brains as does his head.

5. Liz Fucking Crokin. And speaking of heads without brains, how about her? She came for Chrissy Teigen for innocently dressing her daughter as Alice in Wonderland and a hotdog, and for using a pizza emoji? Lady, sometimes a pizza is just a pizza…and sometimes, an idiot is just an idiot. And as for you, you are a constant, unremitting idiot. Delete your Twitter account!

6. Sarah Fucking Huckabee Fucking Sanders. Why the double Fucking? Because that’s how asinine you have to be to get told off by someone from FUX Snooze, fer fucksakes.

7. Michele Fucking Bachmann. She’s planning on running for office again…this time in Al Franken’s district? What, wasn’t her unpopularity in her own enough for her?

8. Anthony Fucking Scaramucci. And speaking of gluttons for punishment, look who else isn’t going away. Yup, it’s the Mooch. Still mooching. And not having learned a goddamn thing. Oh Mooch, go fellate yourself.

9. Nikki Fucking Haley. Fresh off her failure at the UN, after trying and failing to garner massive international support for Donnie’s unilateral recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Isn’t-real, she gets punked by two Russian comedians. I suggest exile…to the isle of Binomo. Which isn’t real either.

10. Logan Fucking Paul. “Buckle the fuck up, because you’re never gonna see a video like this again”? Thanks for the warning, which really should be a promise. Delete your fucking account, you troll. A location which is rightly infamous for its associations with suicide is no place to clown around in with your greed and your silly hats.

11. Paul Fucking Nehlen. Anyone surprised that he’s in the Moron Lobby? And that he haz a mad since most of his supporters abandoned him when he went full fashy? NO? Very good, carry on then.

12. Christopher Fucking Cantwell. Suing Antifa for you being such a massive own-goaling fuckup of a neo-Nazi crybaby? Yeah, good luck with that, “man”.

13. Gavin Fucking McInnes. Welp, looks like somebody’s secret is out. Yup, I’m convinced now that Gavvy is secretly gay, trapped in a closet, and utterly miserable about it. Why else would he go around projecting his melancholia on a journalist who exposed what really goes on inside Donnie’s fucked-up farce of a White House? Gavvy, do yourself a favor: Come out, come out, wherever you are. Otherwise, you might end up getting caught taking a wide stance in a public toilet, and we all know how embarrassing THAT can be!

14. Donnie Fucking Drumpf, Jr. Everybody sing! To the tune of “The Farmer in the Dell”: Someone’s going to jail, oh someone’s going to jail, hi-ho-the-derry-o, guess who’s going to jail!

15. Jared Fucking Kushner. Everybody sing! Same tune: Who’s in the cell next door, who’s in the cell next door, hi-ho-the-derry-o, who’s in the cell next door?

16. Tucker Fucking Carlson. Is Bowtie Boy a racist? Yes. FUCK YES. Why else would he have such a racist idiot as Chadwick Fucking Moore on his show, spouting racist idiocies all over the fucking place? What the fucking hell do two fucking white dudes know about the misogynoir black women face every day, anyway? I walk in a fucking white woman’s shoes every day, and nobody ever calls me a racial slur. Does that answer your dumbass questions, boys? Next fucking question, PLEASE.

17. Candice Fucking Bergen. No, not the actress. This lesser Canadian Drumpf wannabe is retweeting and spreading fake news about carbon taxes. And of course, she’s a global-warming denialist, too.

18. Eric Fucking Drumpf. Look who’s a conspiracy theorist! Yup…THIS GUY. And his theory is pretty much the loopiest one ever.

19. Ivanka Fucking Drumpf. First female US president? Yeah, right. Gonna be kinda hard to do that when you’re convicted of treason and money laundering. Besides, who’d vote for you?

20. Kevin Fucking Battle. Uh, dude? If you’re going to talk about monuments to black Confederate soldiers, you should first find out if there even WERE any to commemorate. A bare minimum of journalistic integrity is required to fact-check, and you couldn’t even manage that? Forget “Fair and Balanced”, here’s a new motto for ya: FUX Snooze…racist and stupid.

21. John Fucking Ratcliff. Florida Man! How nice of you to put in your appearance so soon! We missed you! Where would this wankapedia be without you?

22. Lynn Fucking Beyak. Yes, the Beyitch is be-yack. And still as racist as ever. Actually, she never left…and that’s the REAL scandal. What the hell is she still doing in the Senate, besides running her big, pig-ignorant mouth? Obviously nothing…or at least, nothing good. PS: Aaand now she’s out of the caucus. Still not the Senate, though. How much more of an uproar do we need to get some action on THAT front? Guess that means it’s okay to be a racist, as long as you don’t publish supportive letters from OTHER racists.

23. Jacqueline Fucking Kent Fucking Cooke. Who? And why the double Fucking? Because that’s how ignorant and asinine you have to be to spend hundreds of dollars on a glass designer handbag that you use to slug people with…after hurling antisemitism at them. Oh, and as to who she is: She’s a football-team heiress who obviously never did an honest day’s work in her life, but thinks the world owes her shit. And the team is one with an infamously racist name, too. Gee, what are the odds that the heiress to a racist-named football team is also an antisemite, and has a boyfriend who is one, too? It’s like like attracts like, or something like that!

24. Paul LeFucking Page. Maine, could you please do something about your horrid teabag governor? He’s been collecting flies for quite some time now.

25. Alex Fucking Jones. Shhhh, nobody tell our perma-listee that demons are just a figment of his imagination…along with all the other wackdoodly things his lead-addled brain happens to spawn.

26. Tomi Fucking Lahren. If you are what you eat, then she’s pure junk food. At least, if the garbage that’s constantly falling out of her mouth is any indication.

27. Matt Fucking Lauer. I just feel honor-bound here, as a German, to point out that lauern is German for to lurk. And that this is precisely what Ratty Matty is doing right now. Lurking. Around NBC. In the hopes that he’ll get his old job (and his office with the automatically closing and locking door) back.

28. Michael Fucking Grimm. Yeah, sure, you and Donnie are victims of a witch-hunt, all right. Only this time, the “witches” are hunting YOU, for a change. PS: Anyone who’s been endorsed by Steve Fucking Bannon, you might want to drop out now, while your dignity is still somewhat intact.

29. Petra Fucking Marquardt-Bigman. Where the hell did anyone in the Tamimi family spread the “blood libel”? NOWHERE. Except, of course, in the hasbaratic fever dreams of this ghoul, whom Ha’aretz should be ashamed to have published. But hey, nice “liberal” Zionist publishers, don’t let a blood libel of Palestinians pass you by. After all, you have to compete for eyeballs with the right-wing rags, who have no shame about publishing things every bit as toxic as this, right?

30. Jim Fucking Hanson. Tweeting bomb threats and pissing-contest provocations at North Korea counts as “negotiation” now? Whatever happened to sitting down at a table and just talking, like normal folks? Oh yeah, that’s right…Donnie Dollhands Drumpf isn’t normal folks.

And finally, to all the parasitic big restaurant owners out there, stealing their servers’ wages, tips and benefits because they “can’t afford” to pay a living minimum wage, and “would go out of business” if they obeyed the law. Special dishonorable mention to the Fucking Horton-Joyce clan, who can bloody well afford to do so, and wouldn’t even have to give up their fancy dinghies in the process. But wait, if you think it’s bad that both Corporate HQ and Premier Wynne have to shame you, just look at this little restaurateur, who doesn’t own nearly as many joints, but is actually paying staff MORE than the minimum. Are you embarrassed yet? You SHOULD be. Because if the guillotines ever make a comeback for today’s aristocrats, guess who won’t be able to hold their heads up anymore?

Good night, and get fucked!

Donnie’s election: A yuge mistake, and other revelations

Posted on January 4, 2018 by Sabina Becker

I can see that I simply HAVE to buy Michael Wolff’s upcoming book. So many wild and woolly revelations! Here’s one:

How about THAT, eh? Donnie, the man who loves to win, and thinks he is even when he’s losing out the wazoo, actually expected to lose…and was even counting on it! And poor dear Melania, who obviously only signed on for his moneybags, actually having to become a FLOTUS? And have her sham marriage out in the public eye for all to see? OUTRAGEOUS! (Ha, ha.)

And this alone makes that book worth buying…namely, Donnie’s reaction to it all:

Now you know why he’s bragging that his nuke button is bigger than Kim Jong-un’s. He’s got to overcompensate SOMEHOW. All he’s got are empty boasts and yuuuuuuge effin’ lies. Behind the curtain, there’s a fat old man living on borrowed mafia money, with a fake tan, a bad comb-over, and a teeny weenie.

Sad!

Right-wing troll terrorizes Denver suburb, kills cops

Posted on January 3, 2018 by Sabina Becker

So, you think right-wing trolls are just harmless little boys having a fun wank on the internet, and that they’d never really hurt anyone? Well, that idea should have died a swift and painful death in Charlottesville (instead of Heather Heyer), but apparently it’s not over yet. People are still in denial as to just how vicious these right-wing shitbags all are. This story, though, should prove to be one more nail in the coffin that’s being hammered as we speak:

Matthew Riehl, the man accused of killing a suburban Denver sheriff’s deputy and wounding four others, is a veteran of the Iraq War who is also fond of posting alt-right memes on his Facebook account.

Forbes writer J.J. MacNab discovered Riehl’s Facebook page, in which he identifies himself as “Matt Gonzo,” and where he has posted multiple memes featuring Pepe the Frog, the cartoon that has been appropriated as a symbol for white nationalists.

Other of Riehl’s Facebook posts include calling former President Barack Obama a “lying piece of sh*t” and shared posts from alt-right website Breitbart News.

As the Associated Press has reported, Riehl seemed to have a grudge against local police officers, and posted multiple complaints about the Douglas County Sheriff’s Department on YouTube.

Specifically, the AP notes that Riehl in a December video called for “the firing of Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock” and attacked him “in highly personal terms.” Riehl also said that during that video that he would be running as a “libertarian” candidate for Douglas County Sheriff.

(Linkage added.)

Oh sure, maybe not ALL “alt”-righturds posting shit on the internet are terrorists. Just as not all men are rapists, right? But enough of them are, by now, that the entire group has more than earned the suspicion that they’re getting. Or SHOULD be getting, rather. And yet I’m sure I’ll still hear, from somebody, that there are very fine people on both sides, that it’s just a bad apple, blah blah.

Well, anyone who’s feeling tempted to tell me that, kindly shove your thoughts right back up the orifice you’re tempted to pull them from, and fucking SIT on them. If this guy was just a “bad apple”, bear in mind what a shitty tree bore that fruit. And bear in mind, too, what bad apples do to entire barrels if left to rot.

Adolf Hitler was just some punk with a grudge too, once upon a time. And so were all his little followers. But their toxic ideology was music to the ears of those who thought the world was getting out of control, and could use a little authoritarianism to bring it back into line. And who took advantage of Weimar Germany’s weak democracy and lax free-speech laws, until it got to the point where the little punk, who was a lowly army boy who went to fight amorphous evil “terrorist” Others, just like this dude (he never made it past the rank of Gefreiter, the German equivalent of private first class, as he was assumed to have no leadership qualities!), ended up ruling the whole fucking roost. His party didn’t win the election, and nobody voted him in as chancellor, but damned if he didn’t have the clout to backroom-bully them into making him that anyway. The rest, as they say, is history.

Would that it would remain history, and never repeat itself. But if there’s one thing about the US of Amnesia, it’s that they never learn from it…and therefore, the vicious cycle spins on, spiralling ever further down each time. I mean, the Daily Stormer is still a thing there, and its style guide reveals how shitposting is actually becoming a paid crapaganda phenomenon. (Albeit shittily paid, at a Hitler-heiling $14.88 US a post; fake-news Nazis being crapitalists, of course they don’t pay their faithful trolls properly by the word, like real professional news outlets are required to do with real, professional journalists. Who’s the Lügenpresse, again? And why are some of the far-right pretending to be anti-capitalists?)

Meanwhile, Germany HAS learned…and is banning shitposting on Facebook and Twitter. Those platforms have 24 hours to remove a hate post from the time it’s reported, or face heavy fines. Russia, too, is following suit (Lord knows they need to), and several other European countries are taking notes. Even the UK, which has a growing fascist problem that’s been left to fester far too long already, is finally starting to crack down. (We’ll have to wait and see if they’re in earnest, but so far things are looking up.)

How ironic that the whitey-white Europe that these so-called white nationalists (supremacists, really; let’s not mince words, because they think their whiteness makes them better than everybody else) crave to mimic and emulate, would actually kick their sorry asses.

We should all do the same.

What Ahed Tamimi’s arrest and imprisonment mean

Posted on January 3, 2018 by Sabina Becker

This is obviously the Likud government of Israel, looking to make the Occupied Territories of Palestine finally, fully Israeli. In other words, to erase Palestine altogether. Ahed, inconveniently, decided to fight back against the colonizers, along with her family. That’s why she’s being made an example of so harshly. The fact that they were not provoking the IDF, but responding to the IDF’s provocations, should be lost on no one.
