This has been a particularly ugly week for America. The fascists forgot to be subtle about their plans to kill millions of Latinos. The New York Times found new ways to debase itself. And Marjorie Taylor Greene was so awful, she actually crossed over into making sense (I feel filthy even typing the sentence).
A lot to catch up on? Oh yeah! But that’s what you have me for! So put your cape on and let’s fly!
Monday: This is how the monsters pave the way for atrocity.
The Genocide "Jokes" Have Begun. Are You Paying Attention Yet?
It’s always “just a joke” with the right, though, isn’t it? It’s always “locker room talk” and “boys will be boys.” Republicans never mean what they say! It’s just rhetoric! It’s just “jokes.” But then they do exactly what they said they were going to do and everyone is shocked SHOCKED that they weren’t kidding at all.
Because it’s never “just a joke.” Especially when it comes to genocide.
Tuesday: It’s sooooo weird! Since when does the NYT not love third parties?!
NYT To Elon Musk: PLEASE Do Not Start A Third Party!!!!
Well, gee golly! They don’t seem to be excited about a new third party in America! That’s so weird! The legacy press is always going on and on and fucking on about “both sides” and how broken the two-party system is. Funny…you’d think the NYT would be super jazzed to have a new entry into the electoral field.
Instead, they really want Elon Musk to know all the reasons there’s just NO WAY he’ll be able to pull this off!!!
Wednesday: The NYT really humiliated itself this week simping for Trump.
Another Sloppy NYT Blow Job For Trump
Oh go fuck yourselves sideways with a pineapple, NYT. The unmitigated gall to look at the Republican economic disaster they just unleashed on the country and wonder, “Will it work this time?”
NO IT WON’T FUCKING WORK THIS TIME!

God Help Me...Marjorie Taylor Greene Is Right (But For All The Wrong Reasons)
Yeah…best mark this date on the calendar because it’s not going to happen again anytime soon. Marjorie Taylor Greene said something I agreed with. Sort of. Kind of. Indirectly. God, I want to claw my eyes out of my head.
Please don’t hate me forever and let me explain.
Friday: Spent the day watching anime and writing the script for Sunday’s D&D with the girls. No article for you!
