Tucker's Ten Points

Lest we forget:Remember, these chump weirdoes were all 100% behind Trump, who could do no wrong. Excellent judges of character.

 Zachary Basu / Axios:
Tucker Carlson unveils 10-point manifesto amid third-party speculation … - Fair: The same rules should apply to presidents, federal agents and elites such as Jeffrey Epstein, whose impunity Carlson cast as emblematic of an “Epstein class” enriching itself through a corrupt system.

Just what we need: Another tee vee "personality"/podcaster/egomaniac/sniveling little weasel running the country into the ground. Whaddya say we get an actual skilled politician (i.e., a Democrat) into the Executive Mansion for the next infinity & beyond. A Commie socialist, even.

History Surfaces In Danube

"Shithole Nation" Indeed

Physician, Heal Thyself

Political Wire shares:

“When you start eating healthy, you don’t need toilet paper. Animals in the wild have no residual stool on their anus… I could have a bowel movement behind a sheet at a dinner party in the corner of the room and nobody would know.”

— Dr. Sean O’Mara, whose dietary recommendations have been embraced by JD Vance, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Howard Lutnick and Sean Duffy, quoted by the New York Times Magazine.

So this "doctor" spends a lot of time contemplating evacuating "behind a sheet at a dinner party in the corner of the room"? Good to know. The Irish really are total sick-o morons, aren't they?

And not quite, Nature Boy:Like any right-winger's mouth, sprays shit 24/7.

Out Of Uniform

I can't even. You know who the two flanking Gen. Lumpy are supposed to be? Patton & MacArthur, two other fascist wanna-bes w/ delusions of grandeur. Hah! "Mac" looks a bit like Brainworm Kennedy. "Patton" doesn't look like himself. Who makes this slop? Does General No-Hat (Part of the uniform, must be worn outside.) scroll the iNternet looking for it? Does he have flunkies serching for stupid? Will the Dep't. of "WAR" notice & say anything? Can someone be sued for generating a crummy AI image of someone else? I s'pose it's free speech, like an editorial cartoon.

The uniforms themselves may be correct; they're pretty generic, but none of the insignia, ribbons, shoulderboards, ranks or Gen. Lumpy's wings or medal are anything the United States Army has ever used. The things on their lapels, "Patton's" red epaulettes or "MacArthur's" cap device, for example. Not sure why George S. is sporting combat suspenders either. The Daily Bleat adds:

Trump’s fantasy image places him above Patton and MacArthur in the military hierarchy, showing him with four stars while the legendary generals wear two. In reality, MacArthur was a five-star general—one of only five Americans to attain that rank—while Patton was a four-star general.

Not to glorify these two, but here's the actual George Patton, in four-star uniform.

And MacArthur, who smoked a corncob pipe, w/ his five stars.

Note also that both get Fat Boy's jowly chin, but jowlier, in the AI.

Time To Shell Out!

"Where's Your Gawd Now, Moses?"

The Shame of the American Jewish Establishment

In its quest to defend Israel, establishment Jewry has abandoned liberal democracy in the US.

Now that the self-described Chosen People seem to have dropped the ball, we need democratic socialism more than ever.

More than a decade later, Greenblatt still leads the ADL. But when the Supreme Court this April gutted the Voting Rights Act for which King and Epstein marched, the organization said nothing. The ADL webpage about Epstein’s activities in Selma—which Greenblatt’s essay once linked to—has been taken down, along with much of the organization’s other material about civil rights.

The ADL is not the only American Jewish organization that has lost interest in whether Black Americans fully possess the right to vote. The American Jewish Committee has also turned away from its civil rights past. In 1965, the organization asked its staff to march in Selma. “Our responsibility to the Negro,” declared the AJC’s president the previous year, “is really no more or less than our responsibility to ourselves.” Yet when the Supreme Court this spring enabled Republicans to gerrymander away most Black congressional representation in the South, the AJC was silent too. (Both the ADL and AJC failed to respond to repeated requests for interviews as well as a request for comment).

Goes on to offer a fascinating & disturbing history of devolution.

Monday's Misery

Two words: Dry heaves.

Will be geting a mail order for the rent as the moron property managers can not or will not fix their online payment system, so I will be hand-delivering the money order directly to their office, in a package filled w/ TNT & hate! Death to the parasites that prey upon the people ME!! As they are parasites, I've also contemplated spraying a can of Instant Insect Death® down every last one of their throats & watching them spasm & die. Bastards. No jury could convict me.

Too Much Wiring

Previously on Web of Evil (& Ennui) we found something of possible railroading use.

Not, however, useful for small structures. Wires too damn long.

And not as bright as I thought when I first removed the Xmas bulbs.

Thinking it will work inside a larger two-story bldg., for example:

Yup. Took it apart, & as I suspected, the other end needn't be connected to the battery, or even to itself, which I s'pose means more LEDs could be added. Powered by two C1220 "3v LITHIUM CELL"s, which allegedly last from 3-10 yrs., 20 for US$7.99 at Mall★Wart. Note black splice: Cut it when removing the base, but was able to put it back together. Sad as it is, I'm quite proud of myself.

Uh oh. Hot spots. Good job w/ the thin plastic, Walthers®. No, the lights aren't bright enough, & should be '50s-style yellow, not fluorescent-appearing.

And of course I'm not the first to have the idea, but Evan Designs didn't show when I made an unspecific search.

Riddle Me This!

What is it about your species that makes me repeat my mantra, "I will slit your fucking throat", virtually every day upon awakening? (Could be the non-stop bullshit, lies & cheating.) Nothing wrong w/ me; the trouble must be on your side of the equation. Like Brainworm Bobby Jr. here, a veritable piece of human waste & roadkill, who is beyond disturbed.

Frankly, I'm so sick & tired of the non-stop bullshit, lies & cheating my fingers are crossed hoping that your world of shit & pain does have another mass death event. And soon.Ten Deadliest Viruses.

They are lying-in-wait for you.

Probably Not

Sudden thought while looking at the rolling stock on the flex-track: I could make a yard here.

The space might not work, however, & I'd only have to "invest" a couple of hundred dollars (minimum) in turn-outs,
so nagonna happen.

Excitement At The Bunker

Maybe 90 mins. ago ago I heard various noises from just outside the galley window, & then heard people clumping down the stairs. This was followed in a few more mins. by several police officers outside the window, one of whom advised me my upstairs neighbors had just been burglarized. The ossifers were trying to figure out something about where & how to move the ladder. Should've looked to see what the hell the noise was.

Hoping it was someone the neighbors know who wanted something specific. Can't imagine wandering around w/ a ladder, picking a random window & then leaving it there. Stats indicate over 50% of burglaries are committed by people known to the victim. I wonder if any of the cameras in the lobby actually work, & if the bastard slumlord will put bars on my window.

Not Feeling It

No inspiration, no desire to be inspired.

Truer words were never placed on a sticker.

Nonethelsss, forced myself to choose something.BACK TO MONO!

No Organ Meats, Damn It!

RFK Jr. suggests Americans can more easily afford groceries if they start eating liver instead of beef:"Most of the cheap cuts of meat are very inexpensive. ... You can buy liver"

More like "Eat real shit, losers." No relief offered, just "Let them eat gâteaux* & groatcakes†." Why does this sick sumbitch hate America so?

---

*Marie Antoinette didn't think all the Frogs had access to rich buttery cakes. She damn well meant "Eat shit".

In older culinary usage, a gâteau (plural gâteaux) did not strictly refer to a sweet layered dessert. Historically, it described basic baked blocks of flour and water eaten like bread.

Not even actual bread. 

†Note to Google's moron robot: "Groatcakes" is not from some Johhny Come-Lately Star Drek hacks but the Firesign Theatre. 1970, not 1997.

Emoluments Up-Date [Up-Dated]

From Bloody Bill's Bulwark:

With his Middle East crisis spiraling out of control, his domestic agenda totally stalled, and popularity in the sewer, Donald Trump is keeping his eye on the prize. “Almost every night in the White House,” the Wall Street Journal reports, “President Trump calls his fundraiser, Meredith O’Rourke, for an update. Trump asks O’Rourke which companies and donors have cut checks and which haven’t, and for how much.”

The donations come in by the millions and tens of millions—for his presidential library, his ballroom project, his political action committees. Trump may be a president, but America’s CEO class knows it’s still much safer—and more profitable, in the long run—to treat him like a king. Happy Friday

There is no Constitution but the Second Amendment. Everything else is a lie.

Don't Say A Word!

A reminder from Dan Froomkin at Press Watch:

Covering Race

The world’s most vocal racist will be the Republican Party’s biggest donor again. But don’t mention it.

But it left out another key superlative: Musk is also the world’s most vocal white supremacist and advocate of ethnic cleansing.

Something about that ought to have been at the top of the articles. But it was nowhere.

So why do our top news organizations consistently fail to mention this very obvious and important fact when they write about him?

Truly a despicable piece of racist Boer shit who apparently wants a race war, like the chickenshit media that cover him.

Once again, a simple message comes of all this bullshit: Fuck everybody & everything to hell, at least twice!!

Friday (Festive) Freak Out

Seven-twelfths through another horrid yr.; lively yourselves up while you can.No, I've no idea what the video has to do w/ the song.

Friday The 31st: End Of A Horrible Month

Brick. From the Int'l. Review of Music.

Local luminary, author of Brick's Picks for the L.A. Weekly & other writing, drummer & one-time friend Phillip "Brick" Wahl up & died, unexpectedly to me at least, leaving his wife of many yrs. Phyllis, his brother Lex & many friends. For many yrs. Brick & Phyll hosted a bash the Saturday night before Xmas, an obligatory gathering. I've no words, but here are a few. Search results.

And Jennifer Finch, bassist of L7 & photog, at 59, of "aggressive" brain cancer. She stopped by bar-be-ques at my party house w/ band-mate Suzi Gardner a couple of times, & rehearsed a rasslin' women event conceived & directed by Tequila Mockingbird on cardboard spread over the living room floor. People on F-book who knew her were quite broken up. Rolling Stone.

In a 2017 Rolling Stone profile of the band, she was described as “an ill-behaved and untrained bassist who added instant verve to their live act.”

Rest of the month: Studio tenor giant Plas Johnson, who made 92, & a few others who created good stuff & lived into their late seventies & eighties.

The Party's Over

Jah Him Ah Gonna Juke Dem Down!

The Independent is unsettled. Does Lumpy hire people he's seen on the telly because they're such good boot-lickers?

Trump was reading from a piece of paper in front of him for this entire appearance, but when he did attempt to go off-script, it went very quickly awry. This policy is for “the amazing veterans who are with the — with, with us — they’ve just been with us from the day they were born, I suspect,” he said, in a trailing aside.

It was pure nonsense, even by the standards of Trump. It was so weird that I had to listen to it back to make sure I'd heard what I thought I'd heard.

“American highways and roadways have been terrorized” by immigrant drivers, he continued, who were driving “big rigs. Rigs like that—” At this point, a large truck caught his eye and he continued, “—Wow, that sucker is a big one. That’s big stuff.”

Trump is known for peppering his speeches with such interruptions, but these had a low energy to them and an undercurrent of confusion. Sure, he could read out from the paper that “radical left maniacs” have given out commercial licenses to people here illegally, and claim that an immigrant from Haiti who caused the death of an American citizen was “let in by Joe Biden.” But when he needed to elaborate, he could only say that such aliens had caused “many, many deaths, too many to talk about.”

[...]

Luckily, transportation secretary Sean Duffy was there to add his own two cents. Jumping in with vigor, Duffy painted a suitably horrifying picture of the vulnerable American family being preyed upon by evil, English-eschewing migrants with designs on their two most sacred activities, Christian worship and mass consumption: “When these illegals were driving these big rigs, they were killing American citizens,” he yelled.

Whether you were “a family going to Walmart or going to church on a Sunday,” you were liable to be run down at every turn.

[...]

This extended show of fealty — which took up almost as much time as the talk about opportunities for veterans — earned Duffy a nod from the president, and presumably protected him from his ire. But this, combined with the frail delivery from Trump, pointed to something alarming: a president who increasingly loses his train of thought, who struggles to make the quick quips and connections he once did, and a surrounding team that is sycophantic to the point of absurdity.

It’s pretty obvious that there isn’t just a lack of pushing-back within the Trump cabinet; there’s a demand for time-wasting, toadying displays of OTT loyalty. There’s also clearly pressure to look the other way, to paper over the cracks when the president flounders.

The ‘Freedom Haulers’ thing, by the way, is nothing new. It’s simply an extension of an older policy, and there’s very little proof that it will do much for the economy, for immigration, or for veterans. But listen, the amazing veterans have been with us since the day they were born, and Donald Trump is a masterclass. Hand on heart, is there anything more you need to hear than that?

History Lesson

Hey! Look! We found Mitch McConnell!

Sixty-one years ago today, President Lyndon Johnson signed Medicare and Medicaid into law as an amendment to the Social Security Act.

Two years ago, President Trump promised that he would “never let anyone touch your Medicare.”

Yesterday, this Administration announced dramatic cuts to Medicare, spiking prescription drug costs for up to 25 million seniors.

That’s some lousy anniversary present!

Not to mention a horrific betrayal.
