Carl Hiaasen was Right, Florida is a Corrupt Cesspit

Here's a barely-disguised bribe to the state AG:

$100G/yr for teaching two hours a week. That's pretty fucking rich.

And that's the corruption of the DeSantis regime.

GOP's Poll Tax on Everyone

That is what the SAVE Act is: a poll tax designed to stop poorer people and women from voting.

Voters need to prove citizenship. If you don't have your birth certificate available, you'll need to get a certified copy. If your name doesn't match, you'll need a certified copy of your name change or a certified copy of your marriage license-- each one of them if you've been married more than once and have had different surnames.

Or you'll need a valid passport or passport card.

None of that is cost-free. You may need to make repeated trips to your vital records department and pay fee after fee.

All is supposedly to prevent voter fraud, which is both extremely rare and mostly perpetrated by Republicans.

No, folks, the goal is to come up with a way to disenfranchise tens of millions of Americans, the ones more likely than not to vote against the Party of Fascism.

In other words, they want to rig the game.

Don't let them. Call or write your congresscritters.

Paying Your Taxes This Season?

Big Trumpy companies like Tesla and Palantir pay nothing.

Billionaires, on a percentage basis, mostly pay dogshit in taxes.

And they give nothing back:

On a percentage basis, I'll bet that most readers of this blog have given more to charity over 2025 than Musk has given in his fucking life. And you, Gentle Reader, didn't give to a self-serving personal foundation, like Musk likely does (and Trump did).

Dear Brendan Carr: FCC You

CBS, out of fear of that bald imittion of an ambulatory penis, ordered Stephen Colbert not to interview James Talarico or talk about it on the air.

So of course he talked about it.

Here is the interview:

May be time for an anchor pool to bet when he gets fired early by CBS.

Filming These Down, Here

Pedo Don

The FBI found that the accusation that he assaulted a 13-15 year old girl was credible.

He's a discusting old pedo. That he was electrd twice and is still polluting the White House is a national shame.

BREAKING NEWS: A civil war has erupted in the Republican Party between those who know Donald Trump raped children and care a little bit and those who know Donald Trump raped children and don't care at all.

Printing These Down, Here

The NTSB report will be interesting to read:

GOP Sick Fucks

Torturing one's kid:

The Wasatch County Republican Party Chair is behind bars after police investigated reports that he was “waterboarding” his 16-year-old family member.

David Nephi Johnson, 54, has been arrested and charged with intentional or knowing aggravated child abuse, a first-degree felony.

She wasn't the only kid that this sick perv allegedly beat and waterboarded.

As tyhey were stuffing this pervert into a cruiser, he was yelling "I have rights!"

He does, indeed. He has the right to remain silent, but I'm betting he'll talk himsel into a goodly stretch in prison, which will be cut short by a shanking.

Millions of African Kids Have Died of Starvation So That One of Trump's Asshole Buddies Can Have Government-Furnished Personal Security

The White House has been quietly dipping into leftover USAID operating money to cover the security tab for Russell Vought, the director of the Office of Management and Budget, according to internal documents reviewed by reporters. The total comes to roughly $15 million, enough to fund a U.S. Marshals Service detail for Vought through the end of 2026, even as USAID winds down after major staff cuts and program cancellations.

Typical of those theives, looting money from the mouths of poor people to benefit themselves. It really is a grifter administration.
