Still Corrupt AF

This is today's bestsellers list from the NY Times:


Jerrod the Boy wonder's book is at #2. That dagger symbol, underlined in red, indicates that there have been bulk purchases of the books at the bookstores that report their sales to the Times. What that means is that someone, or a group of someones, are trying to cook the bestsellers list by making it appear that a book is more popular than it truly is.

This seems to be a particular thing with the Right Wing Batshitters. A lot of books by the Fascist Right gain bestseller status by cooking the list. Both The Toff and his eldest spawn have done this. Flip-flop Mitt did it. So did Ben Shapiro, Caribou Barbie, Fascist Newtie and the Canadien Usurper. Because, get real; who the fuck is going to buy a book about a guy who shoved his dog into a rooftop carrier? Or some kid who, without connections to his corrupt family (both by birth and inlaws), would be the swing-shift manager at an Arby's?

But when books about the TOFF that are not flattering come into print, those are legitimate bestsellers.

  3. I'm surprised. I would think Bone Saw's $2 Billion would buy Jared a #1 spot.

  4. It would have pushed to the #1 position with the bulk sales but Jared is a little more subtle than the rest of the tRump clan. If the consistent scratching noise in your wall can be called subtle.

  6. Did you ever see a dog that didn't enjoy the hell out of being in the back of the pickup? Rooftop carrier designed for and properly placed atop a station wagon beats the hell out of the back of a station wagon full of smelly people. He did that dog no harm and quite frankly flogging that dead horse is no different than any of the crap the reich pulls.

    I wish someone would block-buy my book, I don't care if it ends up in recycle ...

  7. I approved and deleted a comment because I thought it'd show the poster's handle.

    I was wrong about that.

    Anyhoo, to that person: You're under the banhammer. Everything that you try to post as a comment gets deleted. I don't bother to read it, just delete it.

    Whether it's stubbornness, stupidity a combination thereof, or something else entirely, feel free to keep wasting your time. Machs nichts zu mir.

  9. I hit the "Post comment" button too soon. I wanted to relate a story about "my deletion".
    It was about a yr. after the TOFF invaded the White House. I was sooo disgusted with this Orange Freak. I got so sick of his "thumbs up" routine, I commented over at Tengrain's Place about what I'd like to do with those thumbs. I was very explicit / thorough.
    Tengrain deleted it, and was VERY nice about it. He said he didn't want the Secret Service to be making a house call on me.
    OK, that was it. I am still one of his bestest fans !

    Only partially, as it turns out. The identity of said troll doesn't show up on web view, but it does show up on mobile view.
