"Trump Says Republicans ‘Will Shove It’ Up Democrats’ Ass"

Political Wire clues us in:

“President Donald Trump said he doesn’t care what the polls and the ‘fake news’ are showing: he is confident the Republicans are going to shock the world — and the Democrats, in particular — and perform much better than expected in the 2026 midterm elections,” Mediaite reports.

Said Trump: “They’re in for a big surprise. It’s very simple: You gotta get out and vote. You gotta get out. You gotta vote for these guys. If you do that, we’re gonna win and we’re gonna win big.”

He added: “And we’re gonna shove it up their ass.”

After which each adult American will get US$5,000, won't we, you fat lying sack?

Additional bullshit: MEDIAITE's "subscribe or turn off your adblocker" crap, "powered by Admiral", which has never, ever, ever worked on any site for this reporter & his free AdBlock. And do you think the incompetent enshittifying jerks ever respond to their customer support form? Think again, suckers. How the hell does Admiral get away w/ this?

That Blowed Up Real Good!

“This sinking exercise not only validated the power behind U.S.-U.K. offensive weapons but delivers a clear message to adversaries that the U.S. Navy and Royal Navy remain a ready allied force,” U.S. Navy Capt. Kelechi Ndukwe, Commander, U.S. Task Force 65, said in a news release.

So the U.S. & Royal Navies are able to sink a sitting duck that's neither moving nor firing back w/ only three different missiles & a torpedo. Not sure how impressed I am.

Senator "I Know Nutting! Nutting!"

In sad contrast w/ an American giant like John Coltrane, more of Alabama's Senior Senator & his tiny, simple mind:

To follow on from the furry kerfuffle (furkuffle?), the following caught my attention. Via RawStory: EXCLUSIVE: Close Trump ally admits he doesn’t read — as only his opinion matters.

“No, I read very little,” Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) told Raw Story. “I want my own opinion, not somebody else’s.”

Cheeses, this dumb-ass mo-fo is exactly 364 days younger than this reporter. Let's hear it for the State of Alabama & Southern Arkansas Univ. Good job, cracker morons!

There's more. (He may already be under robot control. Seriously.) I s'pect Sen. Potatobrain is functionally illiterate. People who say they don't read or don't like to read usually have trouble reading anything. That's why STOP signs are red & octagonal (For the illiterate, that means "eight-sided".) Because many of the sub-humans out there couldn't read their way out of a paper bag. And illiterate fucking dimbulbs are everything wrong w/ this shithole nation. When do we start dealing w/ this clear & present danger, & by any means necessary?

Brainstorming: How 'bout having the illiterate crackers replace the migrant farmworkers they want deported, & have the goobers work in the fields for board & room? The South seemed to like the idea 150+ yrs. ago.

How About Telling The Truth Instead Of "Talking"?

J.B. Shurk / American Thinker:
We Need To Talk About Democrats  —  People who celebrate political violence cannot be trusted. —  Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...  Fifteen years ago, a dark movie called We Need to Talk about Kevin told the story of a mother struggling to understand why her sociopathic teenaged son had gone on a murder spree at home and at school. In the same vein, we need to talk about Democrats.

O.K., let's "talk".

NH Libertarian Party endorses ‘assassination’ of elected Democrats

Do take a peep at The American Thinker. (Whose logo, disappointingly, is no longer Uncle Sam dropping a load on a tree stump.)

Many interesting items. Example:

Woke 1.0: A history of the world’s most Satanic movement in pictures
By Jeremy Egerer | Woke people are going to have to prove they’re not woke anymore if they want to return to polite society.

Th' hell? What peculiar planet or dimension do these crazed weirdoes live on or in? Certainly not this one.

The Wiki notes:

In the aftermath of Donald Trump's loss in the 2020 U.S. presidential election American Thinker published a variety of articles that had claims of election fraud. Faced with a lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems, [co-founder] Lifson acknowledged that the site had relied upon "discredited sources who have peddled debunked theories".American Thinker likewise admitted that its election claims were "completely false and have no basis in fact" and that "it was wrong for us to publish these false statements."

Absolutely trustworthy.

Republicans Should Keep Lying, But Even Harder, Sez Republican

These deluded buffoons live in a sad fantasy world.

Lies? As Long As They "Resonate", It's Fine

Axios:
House GOP's top messenger: Socialism attack line “doesn't really resonate”  —  House Republicans' top messenger has three pieces of advice for candidates trying to survive the midterms: Call Democrats “communists,” don't gaslight voters on inflation — and trust your district if it tells you to deviate from President Trump.

Washington Post:
Why Democrats are starting to feel bullish about a midterm wave
Luke Fountain / CNBC:   Trump's $403 million war chest is finally being spent on the midterms. Now comes the hard part

NPR:   Republican ‘cavalry’ arrives with a Trump-backed $150 million ad blitz in key races

Mike Catalini / Los Angeles Times:   Trump pushes his $5,000 ‘dividend’ pledge if GOP wins midterms. Republican candidates, not as much

Republican racist (Redundant?) Bo French has retrieved "Bolshevik" from the dustbin of history.

French has begun to direct his venom Rosenthal’s way. Texas Monthly’s Robert Downen, the foremost chronicler of French’s rise and the Texas far-right, recently reported on a fundraising email from the campaign that accused Rosenthal, who is Jewish, of “mocking Christianity” and compared him to the Bolsheviks who killed Russia’s ruling Romanov family—a trope with a deep antisemitic history.

"Commie Jew Comm-u-niss!"

An Even More Immediate Problem

“Democratic consultants are privately encouraging their battleground candidates to avoid talking about artificial intelligence regulations out of fear that powerful tech groups will unleash a tidal wave of spending against them ahead of November,” Politico reports.

Even more imminent than the robot danger is filthy rich tech group Nazis screwing things up w/ their lying advertising & propaganda. No more private financing of elections, dammit!!

Today's Texan Piece Of Work

What an absolute shithole of ignorant racists.

David French / New York Times:

Tim Murphy / Mother Jones:   Bo French Sent a Tweet So Racist, His Own Party Finally Took Notice. It's Just the Tip of the Iceberg.

Ramsey Touchberry / Washington Examiner:   John Cornyn won't vote for Texas GOP candidate Bo French over ‘racist comments’

Karen Tumulty / Washington Post:   Why Karl Rove, a father of the modern Texas GOP, is voting for a Democrat

Mark Silk / RNS:   Texas Republicans excuse bigotry all the time. This time they couldn't.

The Washington Sun:   Texas Democrat Sees a Fundraising Surge Following Opponent's Racist Posts

ABC News:   Cornyn says he won't vote for Texas Republican Bo French after candidate's controversial post

Alexander Bolton / The Hill:   Cornyn won't vote for Bo French in Texas race

Carlos Nogueras Ramos / The Texas Tribune:   One group has stayed mostly mum on Bo French's racist post — Texas' oil and gas industry

The Mother Jones item has more hot poop on Bo French:

In 2025, around the same time the Tarrant GOP demanded Texas leaders acknowledge new Islamic centers as an “invasion” and “dangerous threat,” French polled his X followers: “Who is a bigger threat to America?” The two choices: “Muslims” and “Jews.”

Of course he's astoundingly ignorant:

To the extent that his candidacy is focused on the Texas Railroad Commission at all, it is because French believes the oil industry, too, must be purged of “the influence of radical Islam.” French, who did not respond to a request for comment, referred to Jim Wright, the Republican commissioner he defeated, as “Jihadi Jim” and alleged that Wright’s ties to a Saudi-owned company’s petrochemical facility had allowed “Islamic values and laws” to infiltrate the commission.

Bo's 90+ yrs. late on that. And RNS looks at football as religion & identity in Texas.

I've noticed plenty of exhaustion: Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinquo.

In conclusion, we're all exhausted:

Fox News:

GOP lawmakers pump brakes on Trump's $5K check promise: ‘Where are you getting the money?’  —  President Donald Trump's promise of a big payout for Americans if Republicans win the midterms is getting a rocky reception on Capitol Hill.  —  Several Republicans outright oppose the $5,000 check promise …

Matt Weidinger / Washington Examiner:   Don't count on those $5,000 Trump dividend checks

Count in one hand & crap in the other; see which piles up sooner: Shit, or Fat Donnie's bribe money. Cultist cretins & suckers. It'd be funny if any of the chumps figured it out. They couldn't be any denser.

and digby has a "gift link" to Jamelle Bouie.

Jamelle Bouie has an important piece in the NY Times today (gift link) about the GOP’s Nazi problem, and it is a problem. He points out that there is a whole generation of younger staffers, some of whom have been exposed during this campaign and others who are actually working in the top reaches of the government under Trump. His administration is crawling with white supremacists and neo-Nazis. But he also provides some important historical context to show how we got here.

How did we get here? It is a mystery. Just guessing, but a long tradition of white supremacy, Yankee religiosity, chattel slavery, & the Confederacy might have somethnig to do w/ it.
