Another watershed week in American history. The largest protest against a president ever matched with the most expensive flop of a birthday party in history on top of the worst outbreak of domestic terrorism since January 6th. And that was just fucking Saturday!
There’s a lot to catch up on but come join me in a good belly laugh at Trump’s rage as America held a giant party without him while he sat in DC and scowled, abandoned and unloved.
Monday: If you only read the New York Fucking Times, you’d think the protests weren’t that big and Trump’s wankfest was a huge success. We call that “propaganda.”
NYT: Trump's Parade Was Sooooo Fucking Cool! "Pure Showmanship!"
I wish I could say I was surprised by this headline from the New York Fucking Times but aside from Rupert Murdoch-owned outlets, no one has put in as much work to normalize and obscure Donald Trump fascism, corruption, and uniquely historic unpopularity. I mean, seriously, look at this bullshit right here:
Tuesday: Republicans did a terrible thing so naturally we have to blame…Democrats?
WaPo: "Liberals Are To Blame For RFK Jr." The Fuck We Are, You Lying Cockweasels!
I’m giving you this context because as RFK Jr. is turning American healthcare into a death cult dedicated to killing as many people as possible in the shortest amount of time possible, the Washington Post’s Megan McArdle knows exactly who is to blame for the coming death and horror: Both sides, but really, the left. Always the fucking left.
Wednesday: If it works for you, great! But have you considered that other people might have different needs?
In Defense Of Skipping Family Dinner
Sounds dreadful, doesn’t it? A family that doesn’t eat together? How will they ever bond? It’s a recipe for dysfunction!
Come…sit down and let your Uncle Ogre disabuse you of these silly notions.
Thursday: In a week of not great news, at least we had this.

NYT SHOCKED That Republican "Fiscal Hawks" Are Actually Huge Fucking Liars
My fucking god. What I would give to live in the alternate dimension the NYT inhabits for just one day. A dimension where the Republican Party isn’t a pack of pathological liars and thieves and serial killers and pedophiles? Wow. Must be nice.
