Tuesday Madness

Once more from Mr. Tiedrich:

it's time to leave Joe Biden the fuck alone

Republicans are being shitweasels again

in the wake of Joe Biden's heartbreaking announcement that he's been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer, Republicans are reacting as they always do — by being horrible. each and every one of them is cordially invited to fuck all the way off.

let's start with this vile shitgoblin

I think it's very sad, actually. I'm surprised that it— wasn't— y'know, the public wasn't notified a long time ago. 'cause to get to stage nine, that's a long time. I just had my physical. you saw that. you saw the results of that particular test. I think that test is standard to uh, pretty much anybody. getting a physical. good physical. we had the doctors at the White House and over at Walter Reed which is a fantastic hospital do it, I did a very complete physical, including cognitive tests, I'm proud do announce I aced it."

I have a question: how long has Sundowning Grandpa Fuckface had stage nine dementia? because there's no such thing as 'stage nine' cancer.

the stages only go up to four. Donny would know that if he ever bothered to listen to anyone for more than two seconds before losing interest and making it all about himself.

listen to this preening fuckwad drone on for the thousandth time about 'acing' his cognitive test. we get it, Donny. you were able to point to a drawing of a camel. good for you. help yourself to a lollypop on your way out of the doctor's office.

who the fuck is Donny to accuse any other person of lying about their health?

we have never seen one legitimate, detailed medical report on Donny. what we get are bullet-point summaries written by day-drinking quacks who fart out ludicrous claims like Donny will live to be 200 years old.

the press never questions any of this laughable shit.

we're told that Donny's ear got blown to pieces by a would-be assassin's bullet and then magically grew back within days — with no scarring — and reporters just nod their heads and write it all down.

we're told that Donny is 6 feet and 3 inches tall and weighs 224 pounds.

yeah, right.

would any of the worthless scribblers of the corporate-controlled media like to maybe write a book on how Donny's brain went fuckity-bye a long, long time ago? now, that would be a page-turner. you could probably do a whole chapter on how Donny got outwitted by a fucking box.

it's a box. it has a lid that flips up — and Preznit Shitforbrains is completely flummoxed by it. Donny has to hand the thing it off to some flunky who does the job in two literal seconds.

for those of you keeping score at home, it's —

Donny: 0
fucking box: 1

imagine for one hot second that it was Joe Biden up there, befuddled by cardboard. Fox News would be playing it on an endless loop.

Couchfuck McGee can fuck all the way off.

"whether the right time to have this conversation is now or some time in the future, we really do need to be honest about whether the former president was capable of doing the job."

this sectional sexpest is gaslighting us at warp factor nine. say what you want about Joe Biden's health — he fucking crushed it as president. he was more than capable — he practically worked miracles.

Joe inherited an economy that had been ravaged due to Donny's mismanagement of the covid pandemic — and by the end of his term, we had prosperity and record low unemployment. America's economic recovery from covid was stronger — and happened faster — than any other country on the planet.

now look at what's happened since Biden left office. in just four months, Donny and Couchfuck have taken that robust economy and turned America into a third-world hellhole that can't pay its bills, can't feed its people, and can no longer predict when a fucking tornado might hit.

A forecasting office in Jackson, Ky., which was directly in the line of Friday night's tornadoes, is one of four no longer with enough staff to operate at all times.

JD and Donny are trying to hoodwink the public into believing the exact opposite of reality — that they're the one's who rescued America from Biden's incompetence. up is down. black is white.

it's flagrant horse shit. do you think any of our worthless scribs might want to write a book about that?

Oklahoma Rep Markwayne Mullin can fuck all the way off.

"it's interesting the timing of them releasing the cancer, right? It seems like since the Hur tapes were released, they're like, 'hey wait, it might be a good time to distract the American people and talk about his cancer.'"

we're being gaslighted again.

Markwayne Mullin wants us to believe that Joe Biden was sitting on his cancer diagnosis — and not doing anything about it — so he could use it as a political distraction if the need ever arose. that makes no fucking sense.

Robert Hur, in case you don't recall, is the Republican stooge who was apppointed by that ineffectual cum-sock Merrick Garland to investigate the classified docs Biden found in his garage. Hur cleared Biden of any culpability in that incident — but on his way out the door, he turned in a hit-piece of a report that painted Biden as "an elderly man with a poor memory" who couldn't remember when his son Beau died.

as I wrote at the time,

Hur made the whole thing up. yesterday morning, just before the hearing started, the Washington Post published the transcript of Hur's five-hour-long interview with Biden — and oh, look: here's Biden's actual answer to the question:

"What month did Beau die? Oh God, May 30."

here's a thing Robert Hur actually said to Joe Biden during his interview: "you appear to have a photographic understanding and recall."

no, Biden isn't using his cancer diagnosis as a distraction from the Hur tapes. Donny is using the Hur tapes as a distraction from him fucking America's economy straight into the ground.

now, here's some shitbucket who thinks Jill Biden should go to jail. he can fuck all the way off.

Leo Terrell isn't just some neo-Nazi adjacent rando on the internet. he's Senior Counsel to the Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division of the Department of What Used To Be Known As Justice.

oh great, another Sewer Clown flunky who casually suggests that his political opponents should be thrown in jail. what could go wrong?

know who has been the one decent Republican through all of this? Meghan McCain.

fuck every other Republican for making me agree with Meghan McCain.

Joe Biden is going through some serious shit right now. let's leave him alone and focus on what's right in front of us: a bunch of democracy-hating authoritarians led by an insane megalomaniac are destroying our government right before our very eyes, so they can replace it with the Forever Rule of Mad King Donny.

'should Joe Biden have withdrawn from the race sooner' and 'should Joe Biden have managed his health better' are topics worth exploring some day — but today is not that day. we don't have the luxury of having those conversations right now — not when there's so much fuckery afoot.

the conversation we need to be having right now is how do we fight fascism?

let's fucking go.

and let's give the final word to the Onion, because this headline perfectly encapsulates all the insanity going on right now.

Released 50 Years Ago Today

Sir Elton must be feeling old…as am I.

Elton John: Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy (1975)

This was probably the most-anticipated album release of my youth, and has remained my all time favorite EJ album my entire life. The entire album is pure genius from beginning to end. My favorite song from the album, Better Off Dead, is posted above.

Produced by Gus Dudgeon, it was recorded at the Caribou Ranch in Nederland, CO from June – July 1974. After the successful Caribou album, the prolific musician returned to the Caribou Ranch recording studio in the Colorado Rockies to record his next release. The concept album is an autobiographical account of Elton John and Bernie Taupin and the struggles they faced at the beginning of their musical careers. The single Someone Saved My Life Tonight, is about John's half-hearted suicide attempt while he was engaged to a woman, faced with choosing her over his musical career (and still struggling with his sexual orientation at the time). His friend and former band mate Long John Baldry convinced him to break off the engagement (whom John's refers to in the song as "Sugar Bear"). The album also marks the last time that John recorded with drummer Nigel Olsson and bassist Dee Murray until the Too Low For Zero album in 1983. Captain Fantastic makes history when it becomes the first album to ever enter the Billboard Top 200 at number one. For the original LP release, a limited number of promotional copies are pressed on translucent brown vinyl, with each album jacket autographed by Elton John and Bernie Taupin. The album is remastered and reissued on CD in 1995 with the stand alone singles Philadelphia Freedom, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, and Elton's cover of the John Lennon penned One Day A Time (B-side of Lucy), added as bonus tracks. Out of print on vinyl since 1989, the album is remastered and reissued in 2017. Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy spends seven weeks (non-consecutive) at number one on the Billboard Top 200, and is certified 3x Platinum in the US by the RIAA.

A Serious Question

Something is off. Something is in the air. Something just ain't right.

I've asked several people (both online and in person) if life seems more than just a bit off lately. I don't specially mean the dystopian worldwide political hellscape that's permeating every aspect of our lives, but just life in general. I look around and think, "This isn't the way this is supposed to be. It's all wrong." It's like an old episode of The Twilight Zone where the protagonist is the only one who knows something 's wrong, or in more contemporary terms, it feels like The Matrix is continually glitching. Frankly at this point I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the proverbial flying saucer appears and lands on the White House lawn. I mean it's about the only thing that hasn't happened.

But at the same time, I don't have an overreaching feeling of dread for the future (unless I spend too much time doomscrolling), but rather—and even when I do go doomscrolling—a feeling that everything's still going to be all right. And it's not years away…it's right around the corner. Something is going to happen to put an end to this madness and wake us from this horrible nightmare.

Listen…Felon45 does not have nearly the power or influence he and his handlers would have us believe. Now that he's tanked the economy he's losing his own followers. Look at how many times he's been swatted down by the courts since he took office. And despite his wet dream of disbanding the courts or upending Habeas Corpus, it's not going to happen. He's a sad, weak, dementia-ridden old man who's obviously suffered at least one stroke, increasingly can't get his words out, and still somehow dreams of being the next Hitler—but is in actuality just a couple Big Macs away from ridding the planet of his presence completely. And in any case he is not the source of this overall—"offness" I'm feeling. He is merely a symptom.

But what about you guys? What are you sensing?

Monday Madness

From Jeff Tiedrich:

'off with Bruce Springsteen's head!' cries Mad King Donny

it's day two of this nonsense as President Rage-Baby will not stop whining

it's 12:45am on a Sunday night. Mad King Donny is pacing the halls of the White House. what remains of his decaying mind is too obsessed to sleep.

"HOW MUCH DID KAMALA HARRIS PAY BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN FOR HIS POOR PERFORMANCE DURING HER CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT? WHY DID HE ACCEPT THAT MONEY IF HE IS SUCH A FAN OF HERS? ISN'T THAT A MAJOR AND ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION? WHAT ABOUT BEYONCÉ? …AND HOW MUCH WENT TO OPRAH, AND BONO??? I am going to call for a major investigation into this matter. Candidates aren't allowed to pay for ENDORSEMENTS, which is what Kamala did, under the guise of paying for entertainment. In addition, this was a very expensive and desperate effort to artificially build up her sparse crowds. IT'S NOT LEGAL! For these unpatriotic "entertainers," this was just a CORRUPT & UNLAWFUL way to capitalize on a broken system. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!"

oh great. United States President Grievance J. Fuckbrain is up in the middle of the night, making wild accusations and calling for investigations.

for the record, there is no evidence whatsoever that the Harris campaign paid for endorsements from Springsteen, Beyoncé, Oprah or Bono. it's just one of those things that Donny knows is true,because the barking noises in Donny's head tell him it's true.

so unfair! there can only be one reason why major stars flocked to Kamala's side, while Donny had to make do with washed-up never-weres like No Longer A Kid Rock: it's because crimey crimes were being crimed!

and so it's off with all their fucking heads.

because nothing says efficiency in government so much as getting Pam Bondi and Krazee Eyes Kash and the entire Department of What Used To Be Justice involved in a pointless series of witch hunts, all to soothe the bruised ego of an unquenchable rageaholic.

hey, maybe Donny can get Comer Fudd and that other jackass — the shouty half-dressed degenerate wrestling coach — to hold some congressional hearings. yeah, that'll be a good use of everybody's time.

government of the grievance-babies, by the grievance-babies, and for the grievance-babies. what could go wrong?

by the way, here's the reason Donny was losing his shit in the middle of the night: Bruce Springsteen will not stop calling him a tyrant.

The Boss reinforced his remarks about President Donald Trump at the E Street Band's May 17 show at the Co-op Live in Manchester, England − a line of criticism that previously prompted Trump to call Springsteen a "dried out prune."

"My home America, the America I've written about that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent and treasonous administration," said Springsteen to cheers as he took the stage, echoing what he said at the tour's opening show on May 14 at the same venue.

delicious.

do bear in mind: every accusation to ooze out of Donny's rancid anus-mouth is actually a confession — so Donny screaming about crimey crimes being crimed is all the proof you need that his own campaign was paying Kid Rock to make all those discordant bleats that were somehow supposed to pass for music.

Scott Bessent, the gazillionaire Treasury Secretary who will be absolutely fine no matter how badly Preznit Fuckwit crashes our economy, has a message for America's small businesses: enjoy your shit sandwich.

Jake Tapper: "the one thing I hear from almost every small business owner is the uncertainty. they don't know how to plan for the future because they have no idea what's gonna come."

Scott Bessent: 'strategic uncertainty is a negotiating tactic.'

I have a question: does Scott Bessent actually believe this nonsense, or is he making the best of a situation where his boss is a stark barking lunatic who changes his mind about tariffs as often as he changes his diaper?

here's the thing about uncertainty: it fucking sucks. markets hate it. businesses hate it. consumers hate it. uncertainty makes it impossible to plan for the future. uncertainty benefits nobody — and uncertainty is a negotiating tactic only if you're a madman.

have you ever heard of this thing called the Madman Theory of Geopolitics?

it dates from the time when Richard Nixon was president, and it went like this: Tricky Dick's foreign policy stooges would ring up their commie adversaries and go 'look, our president is fucking nuts. we can't control him. he'll nuke you in a hot second and not think twice about it, so maybe you ought to give him what he wants.'

I shit you not.

The madman theory is a political theory commonly associated with the foreign policy of U.S. president Richard Nixon and his administration, who tried to make the leaders of hostile communist bloc countries think Nixon was irrational and volatile so that they would avoid provoking the U.S. in fear of an unpredictable response.

spoiler alert: it didn't work. Nixon was a paranoid criminal, but he wasn't insane — and no one bought his act.

but oh, look: the Madman Theory isn't a theory any more. now we have an actual madman in the Oval Office, and we have lackies like Scott Bessent telling us to calm down, madmanning is good.

buckle the fuck in, the crazy around here is going up to eleven.

because we live in the shittiest possible timeline, Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer.

Former President Joseph R. Biden Jr. was diagnosed on Friday with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones, his office said in a statement on Sunday.

"While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management," according to the statement from Mr. Biden's office.

also because we live in the shittiest possible timeline, the worthless scribblers of the corporate-controlled media are failing once again to meet the moment.

Extraordinary timing – according to his spokesman, Biden received this cancer diagnosis on Friday, the same day audio clips of his Robert Hur interview were all over the news"

are you fucking kidding me? you're going to play 'oh hmm, how convenient' games with a cancer diagnosis? read the room, asshole. now is not the time, or the place. do you know when would be a good time? never.

how about never, Brian? is never good for you?

oh, and Cokey McSniffles is cordially invited to go fuck himself to infinity and beyond.

What I want to know is how did Dr. Jill Biden miss stage five metastatic cancer or is this yet another coverup???"

true fact: absolutely no one will mourn Donald J. Shitnozzle Jr. when he makes his final exit. I fucking guarantee it.

let's show these disgraceful ghouls how it's done.

let's offer our best wishes to President Biden and his family. he's earned it.

Biden Is Diagnosed With an Aggressive Form of Prostate Cancer

Tyler Pager, The New York Times:

Former President Joseph R. Biden Jr. was diagnosed Friday with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones, his office said in a statement on Sunday.

The diagnosis came after Mr. Biden reported urinary symptoms, which led doctors to find a "small nodule" on his prostate. Mr. Biden's cancer is "characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone," the statement said.

"While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management," according to the statement from Mr. Biden's office, which was unsigned. "The president and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians."

Terrible news.

Karma Sometimes Takes A While To Get There, But When It Does…

So the Nottoway Plantation caught fire.

Fire fighters contained the blaze, but then the fire reignited to the point that the firefighters said, "It can no longer be contained."

The ancestors have spoken.

May all those who were enslaved on that land and experienced violence and trauma there finally find rest.

SO MUCH WINNING

Just kidding. Trump is flushing the economy to give Billionaires more tax breaks.

Well done MAGA. He's fucking you in the ass and you're saying, "Please Sir, may I have some more?"
