So the Hillbilly Couch-Raper is Also Racist?

“Obviously she’s not a white person…but I love Usha, she’s such a good mom.” - JD Vance

So non-white people are…(gulp) lovable, and can be (gulp gulp) good parents?

This guy making excuses for his Indian wife to the racists he desperately needs for Trump to get elected?

— Mr. Newberger (@jeremynewberger) July 28, 2024

Sure sounds like he's indeed making excuses for not marrying a white chick.

But don't worry about ol' JD. His wife's not going to make him sleep on the couch. Because reasons.

Not a Bad Idea, When You Think About It.

The Heritage Foundation wants to "take back" the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Which is pretty weird, considering that it's a private foundation that was formed with private money from two very wealthy people.

But think about that for a second. If the Right has the idea that they can use the Federal government to take over and obliterate private foundations, then why not hoist them on their own petard? Let's take over and obliterate the Heritage Foundation, the Federalist Society, ALEC, all the groups in the Koch Network, and all of those other so-called conservative action groups that are masquerading as charities.

The Rats Are Fleeing, But They’re Still There

The director of the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 vision for a complete overhaul of the federal government stepped down Tuesday amid blowback from Donald Trump’s campaign, which has tried to disavow the program created by many of the former president’s allies and former aides.

Don't be fooled, those rats are still in the woodwork, conspiring to drag this country back to the 1870s. Or, to put it another way, they're using The Handmaid's Tale as a users' manual.

The only way to stop them is to send the COFF back to moulder in Mar-a-Lago. (And then to Sing Sing.)

ETA: No surprise, the clown that stepped down is a friend of the Alleged Couch-Fucker.

Carpe-ing These Down, Here

A lot for today:

Imagine This

Imagine that Vice President Harris declared that she wasn't a Christian. Imagine the subsequent uproar from the press, the conservatives, and the Christian Taliban.

Yet Orange Felon^34, last Friday, told "my beautiful Christians" that he wasn't Christian. This from a guy who hawks $60 Bibles. His declaration of a lack of faith sank like a stone in a pool of magma. Not a peep out of anyone.

It may have been lost in his promise to not hold elections after 2024. But one might have expected that one of those featherweight journalists might have noticed.

I Suppose It’s Not True…

...that JD Vance has been banned for life from being within 500 feet of a Raymour & Flanigan store.

But is anyone monitoring his browser history?

Megachurch Kiddie Fuckers. Allegedly

After the ex-Trump adviser Robert Morris stepped down from his role as pastor at a Texas megachurch in June following a child sexual abuse scandal, another Texas megachurch pastor has stepped down over accusations of “inappropriate” behavior.

Cross Timbers church in the Fort Worth suburb of Argyle announced, in a sermon on Sunday, the resignation of its lead pastor, Josiah Anthony.

Yesh, they always find Jesus after diddling kiddos.

Like the "Bible-chuckers" in the criminal courts.

The Weird Couch-Fucker Has an Owner

And his name is Peter Thiel.

Thiel and his fellow far-right oligarchs bankrolled the Couch-Fucker when he ran for the Senate and they persuaded the COFF to pick him. Probably with eight-figure donations to a TOFF-aligned SuperPac, which is how things are done. Especially in the Party of the Oligarchs.

Also, I'm hearing rumors that Demented Donnie is looking for a way to push out the Hillbilly Couch-Fucker, gracefully or otherwise.

Trump to Disabled People: "Just Die, Already."

That's how he feels towards a member of his own family: Keeping a disabled person alive and healthy costs too much money and they should just die.

Imagine how he feels about every other disabled person. You can bet he knows, to the penny, how much it cost to make every one of his buildings handicapped-accessible and he deeply resents the cost of doing so.

It might be worth keeping in mind that the very first group that the Nazis came for were the disabled. Once not many of the good little Germans complained, the Nazis realized that they could start killing off other groups of people.

Don't presume that the COFF doesn't know that history.

48 hours in the freezer apparently kills any mold or silverfish.

Space Karen is Evil.

No other word for it. He is a despicable ugly bag of mostly water, with all of the morals of the TOFF and a hundred times the money.

His platform has been promulgating a deepfake video of Vice President Harris. Because Trumpist activists are as sleazy as the day is long and Space Karen is among the worst.

It is far to risky to our national security to let a mercurial lunatic such as Space Karen own a vital company like SpaceX. It should be nationalized. And, since it appears to be barely profitable, if at all, the fair-market price should be rather low.

Space Karen could then sit at home, continue fathering children by multiple women (funny how the Christian Taliban never criticizes him for that, because the rules are different for rich white dudes), smoke his cigars, and watch his shitty MAGA Motors electric cars pile up on the lots.

More on the Hillbilly Couch-Fucker

Vixen Strangely has noticed that the Couch-Fucker wants to track the medical records of women of reproductive age when they go on trips to ensure that they don't get abortions on their vacations.

For all of the bleatings of the Cult of the Fetus, note that they have never called to outlaw vasectomies. You would think that they would have a care for all those poor, doomed sperm.

Beyond that, the Couch-Fucker worked with lobbyists to weaken the rail safety bill that he co-sponsored. One has to wonder what he got for that bit of caving to sabotage his own legislation. And I'm sure the residents of and around East Palestine were pleased as punch to learn that their own senator has shivved them in the back.

Just When You Think It Can’t Get Any Weirder

The Hillbilly Liar watches dolphin porn while fucking his couch. Allegedly.

My recollection of the part of Ohio he's from is that it's pretty flat. His claiming to be a hillbilly because his grandparents were from there would be like Trump claiming to be German. But since he clearly worships Hitler, maybe...

Cute Gun Video, Sort Of

BLM Can Go Eat a Bag of Richards

President Joe Biden announced on Sunday that he was leaving the presidential race and endorsed Harris to replace him at the top of the Democratic ticket to face Donald Trump, the Republican nominee, in November. Biden had faced pressure to step aside after a disastrous debate performance last month magnified concerns about the 81-year-old's age and ability to beat Trump and serve a second term.

By Monday evening, Harris had secured the support of enough Democratic delegates to become her party's nominee, The Associated Press reported.

Responding to the development, Black Lives Matter criticized Democrats for not giving voters a say—and called on the Democratic National Committee to host a virtual snap primary ahead of the party's convention in August.

Reeeeally smooth move, guys. One of two people will be the 47th president. One of whom has said, repeatedly, that BLM protesters should be shot in the legs. Now you're going to piss off the other person.

It also shows a basic lack of understanding of how conventions and delegates function. Let me recap: Delegates are bound for only the first vote. After that, they can vote for whomever they want. Second, any candidate is free to release his or her delegates in advance of the convention. Nikki Haley got 97 delegates, Ol' Shimp Boots got three (costing his campaign over $12 million apiece). All of them were released by those candidates to vote for the GOP's cult leader.

But, let's face it, the leadership of BLM is comprised of idiots and terrorist sympathizers.

And the pro-Hamas demonstrators can also go eat a bag of rancid richards.

Dementia Donnie Quakes in His Shoes

He's not going to debate Kamala Harris.

Probably because he's losing his shit, mentally, and he knows it.

Because It's Friday

Looks like the Crummy Express!

Bet Money on the Russians Doing This

France’s high-speed rail network was hit Friday with widespread and “criminal” acts of vandalism including arson attacks, paralyzing travel to Paris from across the rest of France and Europe only hours before the grand opening ceremony of the Olympics.

French officials condemned the attacks as “criminal actions,” though they said there was no sign of a direct link to the Games, and prosecutors in Paris opened a national investigation saying the crimes could carry sentences of 15 to 20 years.

My guess is that the Russians had a hand in it, which is not just unfounded speculation, because of this:

French authorities have foiled several plots to disrupt the 2024 Olympics, including the arrest of a Russian chef involved in one of them, officials have said.
...
Paris prosecutors said on Wednesday they had arrested a 40-year-old Russian man on Tuesday at his Paris apartment on suspicion of planning to "destabilise the Olympic Games".

He was charged with "conducting intelligence work on behest of a foreign power" with an aim to "provoke hostilities in France," crimes punishable with a 30-year sentence in France, according to a statement from the Paris prosecutor's office.

A coordinated attack such as that has serious professional fingerprints. The Russians have been engaging in acts of sabotage in Europe since most nations in Europe haven't fallen on their backs to surrender to Russia's imperialist ambitions.

Russia, notwithstanding the efforts of Tuckyo Rose, J.D. Vance and Tulsi Gabbard, is a nation that is as hostile to the rest of Europe and to the U.S. as was Nazi Germany.

Fucking Over the Customers for Fun and Profit is What American Corporations Do

Southwest Airlines is to allow customers to reserve seats, scrapping the free-for-all of unassigned seating it has operated for 50 years.

The company said it also planned to charge for "premium" seats with more leg room, add red-eye flights, and redesign its boarding system.

The announcements came as the firm reported that profits plunged in the April-June period to $367m, down 46% compared with last year.

Chief executive Bob Jordan said the seating changes would "unlock new sources of revenue".
...
It had been known as a holdout in the industry for not hitting customers with extra fees for items such as checked baggage.

But its share price has dropped sharply over the last few years, as its profitability lags others in the industry.
...
"Although our unique open seating model has been a part of Southwest Airlines since our inception... this is the right choice - at the right time - for our customers, our people, and our shareholders," Mr Jordan said.

Shares in the firm rose more than 6% after the announcement.

Let's be clear about it: Jordan doesn't give a rat's ass about the employees or the customers. It's all about the share price. It's all about raping the customers as hard as they can to maximize revenue and please Wall Street.

MBAs and banksters have ruined this country. They've wrecked Boeing, they've made the other airlines into flying shitshows and now they're coming for the last airline that actually gave a shit about its passengers.

If you can't drive to where you're going, I respectfully suggest that you stay the fuck home.

Sexism, You Betcha

Imagine that Kamala Harris had five children by three husbands and that one of those kids was born two months before the wedding. You can bet the farm that the Republicans would be making massive amounts of hay over her supposed immorality and loose standards. Bible Mike and the rest of the Christan Taliban would be bleating about that every three hours on Fox News.

But that is exactly what Donald Trump did: Five kids by three wives and one of them was born two months before the wedding.

The self-styled party of morality doesn't give a shit about that. Because it's OK if you're a Republican.

(Yes, I made this point eight years ago. It's still valid.)

The Dumbest and Most Childish Reason to Choose a Running Mate

"He like me." -- The TOFF is devolving to using pidgen English.

It's time to give a cognitive test to Dementia Donnie.

That clip of Vance trying to tell a joke was about the most awkward campaign moment since Romney tried to get a crowd to chant "Romney Ryan".

Shorter Mike Johnson: "Put Your White Robes Back in the Closet, Boys."

Leaders of the House Republican caucus scolded members on Tuesday after several representatives went off-script to attack Vice President Kamala Harris on the basis of her race and gender, according to multiple reports.

Sexism, racism and stupidity are not good ways to support your candidate, fools. He can touch those bases (or biases) all by himself.

And I am Officially Not Going to Run In the 4x400 Meter Relay Race At the Paris Olympics (Plus More QAnon-Grade Bullshit)

Sen. Joe Manchin (I-W.Va.) on Monday said he would not consider serving as Vice President Harris’s running mate...

Like anyone had any intention at all of asking that treacherous fuckwad to be Harris's running mate.

Unfortunately, I've become aware that there are anacephanics out there who believe that the attempted assassination of the FOFF was a Democratic plot. Which is just evidence of severe retardation on their part.

Think it through. There would have an open convention and the leading candidate to step in would have been Nikki Haley. Haley would have probably wiped the floor with Biden and, given his disasterous debate performance, stepping aside to let Harris run would have looked a lot less noble than it appears to be now. The COFF is probably the most beatable person who was on the GOP's primary stage, other than maybe Vivek Ramaswamy.

Of course, they might have nominated Ol' Shrimp Boots, a man so repulsive that he makes Ted Cruz look human.

So it is a stupid conspiracy thory and the fact that it is the COFF's dain-bramaged sons pushing it only goes to illustrate that point.

GOP Now Rebranding Itself As The He-Man Women Hater's Club

JD Vance is a charter member.

Comments JD Vance made in 2021 questioning Vice President Kamala Harris’ leadership because she did not have biological children have resurfaced, testing the young conservative senator in his early days campaigning as part of the Republicans’ presidential ticket.

During Vance’s bid for the Senate in Ohio, he said in a Fox News interview that “we are effectively run in this country via the Democrats,” and referred to them as “a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too.” He said that included Harris, U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a New York Democrat.

“How does it make any sense that we’ve turned our country over to people who don’t really have a direct stake in it?” asked Vance, who is now Donald Trump’s running mate. Harris became stepmother to two teenagers when she married entertainment lawyer Douglas Emhoff in 2014. And Buttigieg announced he and his husband adopted infant twins in September 2021, more than a month before Vance made those comments.

Guess Vance forgot that George Washington didn't have any kids. Neither did The Most Racist President in American History (Pre-Trump), Andrew Jackson, who is, coincidentally, the COFF's favorite president.

By the way, how many children did Jesus have?

Families might be childless for a number of reasons beyond their control, but that doesn't matter to the TOFF's inexperienced, soulless, and comemptuous understudy.

Why Hasn't the AG of MO Been Disbarred, Already?

That piece of shit in a suit has apparently decided that he can defy lawful orders of the courts.

A woman whose murder conviction was overturned after she served 43 years of a life sentence was released Friday, despite attempts in the last month by Missouri’s attorney general to keep her behind bars.

Sandra Hemme, 64, left a prison in Chillicothe, hours after a judge threatened to hold the attorney general’s office in contempt if they continued to fight against her release.
...
During a court hearing Friday, Judge Ryan Horsman said that if Hemme wasn’t released within hours, Bailey himself would have to appear in court Tuesday morning. He threatened to hold the attorney general’s office in contempt.
He also scolded Bailey’s office for calling the warden and telling prison officials not to release Hemme after he ordered her to be freed in her own recognizance. “I would suggest you never do that,” Horsman said, adding: “To call someone and tell them to disregard a court order is wrong.”

I'm going to bet that this isn't the first time he's told people that it's optional to obey court orders. That seems to be the way of so-called conservatives.

And, of course, it's happened again.

2024: The Cop Vs. The Felon.

Which is probably a very short way to sum up this election.

And, if you disagree with that characterization of Vice Oresident Harris, remember, attorney generals are the chief law enforcement officers for their jurisdiction.

Skinking These Down, Here

Demented Donnie Keeps Attacking Biden (Plus, Even More Racism)

President Biden has dropped out of the race, but he continues to live, rent-free, in the FOFF's head.

Former President Donald Trump attacked President Joe Biden (D) in a social media tirade following Biden’s decision not to seek reelection.

Trump posted to his social media platform, Truth Social, ten times on Sunday and Monday morning to criticize Biden. He spoke about Biden’s mental fitness, his belief that it was unfair to the GOP to face a new candidate at this point in the election, and called his decision undemocratic.

I can't think of anyone older than seven years old who complains about things being unfar as much as that fat old convict. For a guy who was born into wealth, who was pulling down a six-figure salary before he finished second grade and who inherited a bunch of money, including that which he allegedly stole from other family members and who has allegedly gotten away with fraud of several kinds and screwed over contractor after contractor, boy howdy, life has been so unfair to him.

Fat, crooked and convicted is no way to go through life.

Meanwhile, let's have fun with the delicious fact that he and Ivanka donated several grand to Kamala Harris's campaigns in 2011, 2013 and 2014.

And, of course, because the Democrats are running a candidate who is not white, the racist birthers are back.
