Lady Gaga Calls Out Trump, Government Shutdown During Vegas Show

From Billboard:

The singer paused during her performance of "Million Reasons," saying, "If the fucking president of the United States could please put our government back…there are people who live paycheck to paycheck and need their money."

She then took aim at Pence, whose wife Karen is under fire for accepting a job at a school that excludes LGBT children, adding, "And to Mike Pence, who thinks it's acceptable that his wife works at a school that bans LGBTQ: you're wrong. You say we should not discriminate against Christianity. You are the worst representation of what it means to be a Christian. I am a Christian woman, and what I do know about Christianity is that we bear no prejudice and everybody is welcome. So you can take all that disgrace, Mr. Pence, and you can look yourself in the mirror and you'll find it right there."

I think the reason the GOP have their collective panties in a twist over newly minted Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is fourfold:

(a) She's a woman.

(b) She's a POC.

(c) She speaks truth to power.

(d) In her original video that spawned the above meme, she's expressing the kind of unbridled joy in life that the perpetually angry, ass-clenching GOP will never experience and it's driving them insane.

And You're Still a Fucking Asshole

So the Orange Menace claims that Mueller's sentencing recommendations for Paul Manafort prove his innocence and exonerate him of any wrongdoing.

No, Donnie Two Scoops. It proves just the opposite. But you're too stupid to realize it.

We Were All Young Once

I think it's funny how so many younger people think older people don't like—or aren't interested in—sex. Granted, you reach a certain age and the hormones start winding down and you're not walking around constantly moist or with a raging hard-on 24/7 like you used to when you were 20, but c'mon. Sex is still a primal urge for men and women and even if you don't want to participate, that doesn't mean you don't like to watch.

And just remember, that kindly old grandmother you pass in the supermarket was once young and may have had a very colorful sex life…

I Hate To Sound So Pessimistic…

…but after the Kavanaugh shit show last week, and the fact that the pussy grabber in the White House actually managed to pull off getting that other  pussy grabber appointed to the Supreme Court, I have very little hope for the future of this country.

Women, be afraid. Be very afraid.

POC, be afraid. Be very afraid.

GLBT, be afraid. Be very afraid.

Muslims, be afraid. Be very afraid.

In fact, if you're not a rich, white, heterosexual "christian" male, you should probably be looking over your shoulder as well, because they will eventually come for you too. We've seen this story play out countless times in the history of our world, and it never ends well.

My question is who will "save" us? Will we be speaking Russian or Chinese when The United States takes its dying breath and the dust settles?

I seriously would like to know what the Orange Wigstand's response would be if Russian troops landed on the west coast.

I think we all know.

While the number of people who hate Shitler's guts far outweigh the number of knuckle-draggers in his base, I fear the so called "Blue Wave" expected in November is never going to materialize. Please prove me wrong. Between general voter apathy, the knat-like attention span of the population (the Kavanaugh crap show will be an entire month in the past by the time Election Day rolls around), Republican gerrymandering/voter suppression/dirty tricks and expected-yet-undefended-from Russian interference next month, if the Democrats do make gains, they still won't be substantial enough to flip the balance of power in Washington.  And at that point WE. ARE. FUCKED.

Please, please, please…women, LGBT, people of color, and the vast majority of whites who are patriotic and care for this country, get off your asses and vote. This may be your last opportunity.  I'm not being hyperbolic here; our country is sliding into fascism much the same way Germany did in the 30s, and apparently a sizable portion of the population is okay with that. There's a small, angry mob of white-hooded nationalists and tiki-torch sympathizers who have decided that all their woes are because of the "other," and the Shitgibbon (who they're too stupid to realize doesn't give a fuck about them other than they're useful tools who fawn over him, stroking his narcissistic sociopathy) view him as their holy savior. It seems that now the main goal of republicans is not to actually govern or reach compromise; their singular focus has become "owning the libs," even if it means burning everything this country was founded on to the ground.

With Twitler today spewing garbage that is a hair's breadth away from labeling Democrats Enemy of the People, I have very little hope that we are in for anything other than VERY dark times ahead. Mexican kids in cages? You ain't seen nothing yet—especially if you're not a rich, white, heterosexual "christian" male.

Fleeing the country is not an option for Ben and I or the vast majority of our friends, and I'm sure that when the shit really hits the fan, our borders will be closed tighter than Melania's coach. (Has anyone considered that Agent Orange's border wall is more to keep us in than to keep anyone else out?)

So please, if you care one whit about this country, if you're not ready for "Trump Youth" or jackbooted thugs marching in formation down your city streets—or simply about staying alive and not ending up in a camp—get off your ass and vote November 6th because you know the Shitgibbon' s minions will.
