The unbelievable megalomania of Donald J. Drumpf

A killer 3-minute rant by Farron Cousins underscores what we either already know or have long suspected about the Big Orange Asshole: That he’s not only unfit to run a pop stand, he’s also so far up his own anus that his eyeballs are looking out of his mouth. Problem is, they can’t see shit. They can’t see that his actual popularity rating is in the toilet, and the only creatures who care are the flies.

Flies may thrive on shit, but they’re insects. The humans, on the other hand, are holding their noses and fleeing in all directions. They’re probably scouting around for old Civil Defense bunkers from the Cold War surplus store. And who can blame them? I mean, just think: This guy has the nuclear football!

No, really. The nuclear football is in these fat, shrimp-fingered, orange hands:

If you could fish anything of sense out of that word soup, you’re a brighter person than I am. All I heard was a pathetic old man, possibly illiterate, probably demented, and indubitably fucking stupid, struggling to be heard above the roar of his own ego.

Or the clang of doom, which at this point could very well be the same thing.

Venezuela seeks extradition of three fugitive soldiers from Colombia

Three Venezuelan soldiers, now wanted for desertion and attempting to overthrow the government, appear in a video in which they state their intentions. Story via Aporrea:

The government of Venezuela has called upon the government of Colombia to hand over three military members who deserted the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB) and fled to Colombia in late March.

Venezuelan exterior relations minister Delcy Rodríguez announced on Saturday that on March 31 of this year, she made the formal request of her Colombian counterpart, María Ángela Holguín, as well as Colombian defence minister Luis Carlos Villegas.

Rodríguez announced that on Monday, April 10, the three militaries asked the Colombian government for political asylum, which does not apply for military members. Rodríguez added that such protection does not apply, either, for deserting soldiers who call openly for a coup d’état, as occurred in this case, when the soldiers called in a video for the toppling of constitutional president Nicolás Maduro.

“We demand that the Colombian authorities hand over these Venezuelan military deserters, and that they not give refuge or cover to military functionaries who are implicated in the coup d’état that they tried to launch against President Nicolás Maduro. In the name of better co-operation between our two countries, we demand that the military deserters be returned in the most expeditious manner,” Rodríguez said.

On April 19, the newspaper Últimas Noticias reported that the First Military Tribunal of Caracas had put out an order for the arrest of four uniformed members of the army, on suspicion of being involved “with conspiratory motives and the planning of terrorist actions”.

The paper also reported that there are three more army lieutenants, as yet uncaptured, who travelled to Colombia in late March to meet with Luis Almagro, secretary-general of the OAS. They were identified as José Alejandro Méndez, Ángel Mogollón, and Alfredo Rodríguez Contreras. These three appeared in a video on social networks, in which they said they did not recognize Nicolás Maduro as their president.

Translation mine.

You may recall a blog entry I wrote last week, in which I called out the hypocrisies of Luis Almagro as secretary-general of the Organization of American States. Now I’m going to add to it that he is not only a hypocrite and a bullshitter, but a putschist as well. He has actively met with and given support to these terrorists in their attempt at treason. Venezuela is currently still under siege by violent opposition “protesters” who are protesting nothing…except the fact that their country is still a progressive democracy. And Almagro, in favoring these putschists, is showing that he cares nothing for democracy at all, but on the contrary, has no problem whatsoever with military coups. Or with military members calling for coups…and then fucking off out of the country when it becomes apparent that their little putsch is going futsch, as have so many others in Venezuela since the first big one in 2002.

What is going on in Flint, Michigan?

The Young Turks are on it, and none of the major media are anywhere in sight:

Did you know that there’s now a water protector camp in Flint, protesting the profiteers who are trying to frack the fuck out of Flint? Well, now you do. And now you know that fracking, not just the polluted Flint River, is the issue here. And that fracking is not a euphemism, but an obscenity. And the degree of corporate obscenity in the poisoning of the people of Flint is fucking MASSIVE.

Stupid Sex Tricks: Bummer jeans for the bourgeoisie

Yes, those are jeans that unzip all down the crotch, from front of waist to back. And all down the legs, as well. They’re hideous, they’re hideously overpriced, they go from borderline obscene to actually obscene with just the pull of a zipper…and they’re apparently selling like hotcakes to the rich and clueless. Because there’s literally no bummer too big, or too pricey, for those with more money than brains.

What I want to know is, where can I get a pair of jeans that (a) look like nice, new, unfucked-with jeans, (b) fit me properly, and (c) don’t cost anywhere near $2,000?

Wankers of the Week: The Mother of All Bozos

nuke-brats.jpg

Crappy weekend, everyone! And a very crappy one to Donald Fucking Drumpf, who, against all odds, has just passed the hundred-day mark of his farcical presiduncy. And accomplished literally NOTHING he promised to do, although he certainly did stage one helluva big distraction with his MOAB in Afghanistan. Insane expense just to kill three dozen people? Mother of all Bozos, that’s our Donnie. And here are the rest of this week’s bozos, in no particular order:

1. Nigel Fucking Farage. Yes, HIM again. And this week, it’s his blaming the Borussia bus bombing on the Usual Suspects, i.e. MUSLIMS. When, in fact, it was the guys who should have been the Usual Suspects, i.e. NAZIS. You know, those white guys who think a lot like Nigel Fucking Farage!

2. Geraldo Fucking Rivera. Not content to merely jizz his pants on FUX Snooze over the MOAB-ing of Afghanistan, good ol’ Jerry Rivers decided to compound the wank by lashing out at John Oliver for skewering him. Oh, the sting of a top comedian having to do a battle of wits with an unarmed man!

3. Tiffany Fucking Drumpf. Yes, that’s right, El Donaldo Drumpfo’s lesser-known (and everyone says lesser-loved) daughter made the list this week. How? By praying. And by actually getting an answer from God…although I’m sure it was NOT the kind she had in mind.

drumpf-bow-thataway.jpg

4. Nikki Fucking Haley. Very good, Nikki, you noticed that they’re persecuting LGBT people in Chechnya! Now, what are you and your bossman going to do about all the LGBT people being persecuted (by state governors like yourself, among others) in the good ol’ US of Amnesia?

5. Frank Fucking Artiles. Apparently, the n-word (and various other racist and sexist slurs) is A-okay with him, even though he’s neither black nor a woman. Stay KKKlassy, Repugnicans of Miami.

6. Candice Fucking Jackson. Once more, with feeling: “REVERSE RACISM” IS NOT A FUCKING THING. Extra-help sections for minority students do not constitute “anti-white discrimination”, you fucking idiot blob of mayonnaise.

bannon-diminished.jpg

7. Matthew Fucking Heimbach. Whatever happened to Personal Responsibility? Oh, that. It flew out the window when white supremacists discovered they could just say “The devil made me do it” — and by the devil, they mean Donnie Drumpf.

8. Theodore Fucking Beale. And speaking of white supremacists, surprise! They’re not REALLY just trying to live a normal life, unmolested by all those criminal, violent Others. They’re all secretly (or not so secretly) pulling their puds (with tweezers) at the prospect of breaking some Other heads. And while they’re waiting for their chance to do it, they’re churning out prose that’s as turgid as their paunch-hidden micropenes.

9. Eric Fucking Drumpf. Waaaaa, why is everybody so mean to Daddy? Because Daddy is a boor and a bully, sonnyboy. And because he has one helluva spanking coming after 70+ years of being nothing but a spoiled, poopy-bum diaper baby. Now be off before somebody spanks YOU, too.

know-your-parasites.jpg

10. Benjamin Fucking Slade. Ladies! Do you want to marry a British baronet? Well, then, look no further…unless you’re trying to avoid a grotty old sexist poop who’s only looking for a young, impressionable, dirt-dumb breeder. In which case, hold out for a Percy Blakeney, because this old guy’s no prize. Much less a Scarlet Pimpernel.

11. Mike Fucking Pence. “Hey Kim Jong-un, an aircraft carrier is headed your way to blow you to King Dumb Come!” Good thing Kim didn’t fall for this one, because it was a psych. And a totally moronic one, too. PS: Macho Man act ain’t foolin’ no one. Dude, the whole world knows that you’re into some creepy fundamentalist version of #MasculinitySoFragile. Give it up!

12. Richard Fucking Spencer. Pro tip: If you want to appeal to potential “alt-right” suckers in the Deep South, don’t do it by dissing football…and especially don’t do it by dissing their team. No, not even “only” its black players! Otherwise, you just might get chased off a campus with your tail between your legs again, and that would be even more embarrassing than getting sucker-punched by an anarchist (and having your dumb, fashy haircut messed up in the process, not to mention being caught on camera looking like you’re gonna cry, ha ha).

mattfurie-punch.jpg

13. Rick Fucking Perry. Are clean energy sources killing coal and nuclear, asks ex-gubnor Crotch Goodhair? Yes. Yes they are. And it’s a demise that’s long past overdue.

14. Andrew Fucking Anglin. Oh look, an antifascist got punched in Berkeley by a Nazi! Don’t crow, Nazi-nebbish…she was only 5’1” and 95 pounds soaking wet, and yet she still came out looking better for wear than your buddy, #12, did when one of the skinny antifa boys punched HIM. And wow, what big strong bullies you all are, picking on a tiny woman instead of someone your own size…like a fucking MAN. Yeah, I’m sure that’s gonna send all the weak, flimsy feeeemales running to your big, strong bully-arms begging for protection against thugs…except, alas, you guys ARE the thugs, and we’re all learning how to protect ourselves from YOU, so that we never become part of your dumb little teenage breeding stock.

15. Theresa Fucking May. She was never actually elected to be Prime Minister, and now that her beloved, precious Brexit is in trouble, she’s looking to change all that by calling a snap election and presumably consolidate her power. Never mind that the odds are good, given the current British political climate, that it could snap right back to hit her in the face.

gorsuch-unconstitutional.jpg

16. Neil Fucking Gorsuch. Well, that went well…ramming his confirmation through in record time with the help of the “nuclear option”, I mean. Because it came just in time for Fascism Forever Boy to get pwned on his very first day on the SCOTUS…by a Jewish woman.

17. Doug Fucking Mortimer. Who? Oh, just some widdle menzer, writing at A Voice For (Only Some) Men, all butthurt that 7-Eleven is actively looking for female franchisees to award a franchise to for free, instead of just being an institutionally sexist “meritocracy” because PENIS. So he decided to make poopy all over the internet over the “injustice” of it all. Never mind that the call went out because the chain has a franchisee gender imbalance that it hopes to correct. No, it shouldn’t be corrected, because PENIS, BITCHEZ!

18. Mike Fucking Cernovich. Dude, you’re not being assaulted. You’re bumping into people because you’re too busy taking video selfies to watch where the fuck you’re going. Also, you don’t have “Gorilla Mindset”…you’re just a big fuckin’ wimp on steroids, like all the other fashboys.

kellyanne-on-the-moon.jpg

19. Kellyanne Fucking Conway. Yeah, keep telling yourself that all the people laughing at you and your “alternative facts” are just “unhappy”, honey. That way, you’ll never have to go to the trouble of actually acquiring some fucking self-awareness!

20. Roger Fucking Stone. Little wonder Drumpf liked (and hired) Tricky Dick and Dubya’s old ratfucker-in-chief. They’re two gassy old fucking peas in a pod when it comes to harassing women and the media. Now, if only Twitter would suspend Drumpf as well!

21. Kendal Fucking Emery. I had literally no idea that Nazi Furries were even a thing, but apparently they are. And now their little shindig has been cancelled. Bow wow wow boo fucking hoo!

nazi-furries.jpg

22. Sarah Fucking Palin. And speaking of oddly-dressed fascist doggie-doodles, Gubnor Quitbull showed up at the Shite House with Ted Fucking Nugent and Kid Rock (who???) in tow. And wearing what used to be a lovely crocheted pineapple tablecloth, too.

23. Kim Fucking Kardashian. No, you are NOT an avatar of the Virgin Mary. You’re some famous-for-nothing nobody who only got her name out there because of a sex tape. Now take your face off that candle and go back to obscurity whereyou belong.

24. Tomi Fucking Lahren. Well, well. Seems there’s a lot more to the White Grievance Cheerleader other than that she’s secretly pro-choice (which in itself was surprising, seeing how often she slammed “baby-killers” on her show). Turns out she’s a real diva who also likes heated butt-pads…so much so that she demanded that her office staffers warm them up for her.

palin-pigs.jpg

25. Ann Fucking Coulter. Meanwhile, speaking of blond divas who are also white-grievance cheerleaders, how about her? She’s so rabid about her Freeze Peach that she’s coming to freeze peaches at Berkeley…even though they’ve vocally said no, no, FUCKING HELL NO to the Coultergeist. Guess some speech is just more “free” than others, eh?

26. Owen Fucking Labrie. Guess who just got denied a new trial in the hopes of clearing his not-so-good name? Yup…THIS GUY. You know, Little Mr. Senior Salute? The guy who thought date rape was just a lovely little private-school tradition?

27. Jeff Fucking Sessions. Actually, Jeffy-poo, Hawaii isn’t just “an island in the Pacific”; it’s a whole chain of them. And it’s also the 50th US state. It’s kind of appalling that a so-called attorney general doesn’t know that — but then again, this one got picked for his racism, not his brains, so how COULD we have expected him to? PS: And he doubles down on the dumbth. Stay KKKlassy, Jeffy!

nugent-drumpf.jpg

28. Alex Fucking Jones. I’m sorry, but hearing the master of irresponsibility and disrespect chiding the media to be “respectful and responsible” in reporting that he strips to his undies in family counselling and rants about the “male virility” snake-oil he peddles on his stank-ass show just imploded my irony meter. I need to get my hands on a new one, and for that, I may have to get my hands on some of that snake-oil moolah that he rants about while stripping to his underoos in family counselling sessions. Did I mention that he strips to his underoos while ranting about his virility gunk in family counselling sessions?

29. Michael Fucking Reagan. Sue a woman just because you got a little horny? Dude, PLEASE. You don’t need a lawyer, you need five minutes in the bathroom with a bottle of Jergens to remedy that, and then you’ll forget all about her. And if you’re going to go babbling bullshit about low-cut tops, you should realize that the women on FUX Snooze were all ORDERED to wear those. And skirts that show a lot of leg. There were literally no pants in their wardrobes, you fucking idiot.

30. Paul Fucking Golding. Hey, stupid — MUSLIMS DON’T CELEBRATE TERRORISM. They celebrate, oddly enough, the same things you celebrate, like their cricket teams winning. Which was, incidentally, the real source of those celebrating Muslims you smeared. I guess an apology is out of the question, though, huh?

billo-f-bombs-loading.jpg

And finally, to the fucking fuckheads at FUX Snooze. I’d ask why it took them so goddamn long to fire Bill O’Fucking Reilly, but I have a fair idea as to why. And the reason is that sexual harassment and abuse were just built right into the corporate culture, from Roger Fucking “Jabba the Hutt” Ailes on down. I doubt anything’s going to be much improved by the advent of Tucker Fucking Carlson in Billo’s seat, though; he’s just more of the same old same old, only he’s a bit younger. Ah well. Enjoy your early retirement, Billo. You won’t be missed here.

Good night, and get fucked!

Adidas stumbles at the Boston Marathon

Want to know how NOT to pay your respects to the victims of terrorism? It’s simple: CASH IN ON THEIR SUFFERING WITH ADS.

Unfortunately, Adidas didn’t get that memo:

Oops.

There are so many better things they could have done. Like paying tribute to Kathrine Switzer on the 50th anniversary of her breaking the marathon’s gender barrier, for example. But they didn’t. Flippant tweets that could easily be taken the wrong way are just cheaper and easier, I guess.

The bullshit hypocrisy of Luis Almagro

Oh joy, oh bliss, oh yay. Once more, a brave lone voice of democracy has spoken out against a country creeping ever so slowly yet steadily toward dictatorship. No, he’s not talking about the recent power-grab of Sultan Erdogan in Turkey (although he probably should). Nor is he talking about the blatant corruption, nepotism, and general mockery of democratic institutions in the US of Amnesia (although he most definitely should, as it’s in the purview of his organization). No, the secretary-general of the Organization of American States, Luis Almagro, has decided to take yet another swipe at a country that’s in nowhere near as dire shape, democratically speaking, as Turkey or the US. A country that is a permanent Usual Suspect. Yes, folks, he’s babbling again about Venezuela:

On Wednesday, the secretary-general of the OAS, Luis Almagro, lamented during a forum in Miami that a failed democracy has brought Venezuela to a complete dictatorship, and warned that it is a harbinger of inequality in the region.

“Venezuela is a democracy that has deteriorated into a complete dictatorship. There are no rules, there is no control of power,” Almagro stated while inaugurating the World Strategic Forum, which will bring together representatives of the public and private sectors of all countries of the world for two days.

Almagro, who was not referring to the marches that took place on April 19 in the capital of Venezuela, of oppositionists and government supporters alike, claimed that Venezuelan citizens are unprotected.

“There is total impunity which threatens the survival of the citizens,” he said.

Almagro said that the OAS is advancing in the application of its Democratic Charter to Venezuela to restore democracy and pull it out of crisis.

“Citizens lack their basic rights, the economy is in freefall, there is no food, no access to medicines or medical attention,t he most basic elements of security have been lost,” Almagro lamented.

Almagro also said that democracy is a process, not an end, and that it must not be eroded as has occurred in Venezuela.

“Venezuela, which should be one of the most prosperous countries of the region, shows us the cost of a failed democracy, the price of exclusion, polarization, of a failed government.”

Translation mine.

Well. Let’s give Señor Almagro credit for getting a couple of basic no-brainers right. Namely: No shit that democracy is a process, not an end in itself. And no shit that it shouldn’t be eroded!

But that’s where his factuality ends. The rest of it is all lies.

Venezuelan democracy isn’t eroded. And the Bolivarian government of Nicolás Maduro, despite four years under siege from domestic and foreign collusion against it, has NOT failed. The people voted for Madurito, and their trust in him hasn’t waned. In fact, support for the PSUV and other Chavista parties is growing. All the democratic institutions of Venezuela are still in place and still functioning, despite opposition attempts to shut them down (through firebombing, among other illicit measures). And when an authority steps out of line, as was the case with two police officers who killed an opposition demonstrator recently, know what happens? They get indicted, just as they should in a properly functioning democracy!

Meanwhile, if anyone in Venezuela is not playing by the rules, it’s the opposition. They’re even tweeting out farcical, anti-democratic hashtags like #ElectionsNoLibertyYes. (Remind you of anyone? Such as, say, a certain orange dictator in Washington, who tweets #MAGA petulantly from his gold-plated bathroom throne in lieu of, you know, ACTUALLY GOVERNING?)

The reason they don’t give a shit for elections — a democratic mainstay — is because they don’t WANT democracy, they just want power. Even though they already had it for 40 years, and fucked it up at every turn while the US turned a blind eye. And if they can’t get it back legitimately, they’ll stop at nothing to get it illegitimately…even murder. And again, the US will turn a blind eye to all that, and instead point out how impoverished Venezuela has become…crossing fingers behind its back that YOU, dear reader, will not realize that the poverty is due to hoarding, robbery, and an unofficial economic blockade that’s Made in USA.

But the majority of Venezuelans didn’t vote for the eternally fascist, eternally putschist opposition, just as a majority of US-Americans didn’t vote for that jumped-up fascist putschist Drumpf. That’s worth taking into consideration, even though Señor Almagro glossed over all that. (And I’m pretty sure a majority of Turks aren’t enamored of Drumpf’s buddy, Sultan Erdogan, and his latest power grab, either.)

But never mind all that! Venezuela must be “democratized”, and we all know what that means. Another war for oil, natch! And it will be led by the United States of Amnesia…the most hypocritical fake democracy in the world. And Luis Almagro will probably be jizzing his overpriced pants at the democracy of it all.
