I lost my Senate seat, now I'm just a shit-kicker.

Headline: "Trump Hid in a Catering Cart to Sneak Out of Turkey Amid Threats" This is true, the big brave president cowered in an airplane catering cart and took a little forklift ride to hide on a different plane.

Screencap from the TV programme "That Mitchell and Webb Look" in a sketch where David Mitchell plays Herr Donitz at the end of Nazi Germany and he begs for a quick "heil Donitz." They begrudgingly oblige him.

A photo of dozens of shitheads. I'm not going to name them all, just think of one and they're in there. Zuckerberg? Yep. Bezos? Oh you know it. Musk? Please. And hey, there's young Barron! Could've beat the shithead label, embraced it instead.
The courtroom sketch from Idiocracy that portrays hero Not Sure as a limp-wristed fag (apologies, that was their persistent epithet to undermine him). Yes, this movie is way problematic, wasn't my idea to make it current events.
Legendary "rage face" LOL illustration.
News item: "Just before Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that Iran had shot down a military helicopter and the US “must” respond, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Iran’s parliamentary speaker and chief negotiator, posted on X: 'We prefer the language of diplomacy, but we speak other languages far more fluently. Break your commitments, and we’ll switch to what we speak best. You ride the horse you saddled!'"
A screencap of a disgusting Christian pastor begging for dollars, he says "Jesus, I see what you've done for other people, and I want that for me." I'm using it ironically.
Photo of a hand crushing a Barbie doll head so the face inverts. It looks a lot like Peyton.
The O RLY? owl meme. I am going to heist so many of these shitty $250 bills the minute they stack them in the machines.
Text from a news brief: US Department of Justice reportedly opens criminal investigation of E Jean Carroll, who won sexual abuse case against Trump CNN reports that the US Department of Justice has opened a criminal investigation of E Jean Carroll, the writer who won a $5m civil judgment against Donald Trump in 2023, when a federal jury found that he had sexually abused her in the 1990s and defamed her in 2019 when he denied attacking her.

Food and Drug Administration’s top drug regulator says she was fired after refusing to resign Dr Tracy Beth Høeg, who was appointed in December acting director of the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, making her the Food and Drug Administration’s top drug regulator, said she was fired on Friday after refusing to resign. “Today marked 6 months as head of CDER at @FDA & today I was fired,” Høeg posted on social media. In an interview with the science writer Maryanne Demasi, Høeg said that two FDA officials told her she could either resign or be fired. “I said I didn’t want to resign,” Høeg told Demasi. “I said I’m not signing a letter of resignation if it’s not my choice.” According to Høeg, the officials said her ouster was ordered by “someone way above their pay grade.” Before Høeg joined the FDA, she worked in Dr Vinay Prasad’s lab at the University of California San Francisco’s Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, and co-authored with him a 2023 letter to the New England Journal of Medicine questioning a study of the effectiveness of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine against Covid-19.
Libs of TikTok Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok X.com Last week I randomly got a $9,000 bill for a hospital visit from last year. I called them up and they said my insurance decided not to cover it. Why? Because. •@Aetna can just decide they're not interested in covering something and then you're left with an inflated bill to pay out of pocket after the fact. This is in addition to a $2,000 bill that I already paid. They just don't want to cover it despite me paying a monthly premium. Meanwhile illegals get free healthcare. Honestly fuck you@Aetna. I'm gonna do everything I can to destroy you.

"US vice-president JD Vance at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, to board Air Force Two for his trip to Pakistan. Photograph: Getty Images" Vance is walking with his face turned to the sky, goofy-happy grin on his face, arms swinging wide like he's excited to visit the Wonka factory, rather than to broker an end to war and genocide.
news item: The International Monetary Fund expects to have to provide up to $50 billion in immediate financial assistance to countries affected by the Middle East war, its managing director said, with the crisis likely to have lasting economic effects. “Given the spillovers of the Middle East war, we expect near-term demand for IMF balance-of-payments support to rise to somewhere between $20bn and $50bn, with the lower bound prevailing if the ceasefire holds,” Kristalina Georgieva said, according to prepared remarks shared with AFP. The IMF chief also highlighted the ripple effects of the crisis, including food insecurity for at least 45 million people.
A photo of Beaker, the Muppet. He has a tuft of hair on top of his otherwise bald head, much like Elon's atrocious Nazi 'do. But Beaker is innocent, not a Nazi. Unlike Elon.
News item: "Trump wants to renovate the White House's treaty room Having demolished the east wing, the president has set his sights on another part of the presidential mansion to transform out of recognition, the New York Times reports. The latest plan is to turn the treaty room – traditionally a meeting space for diplomats and statesman – into a guest bedroom with an en suite bathroom. The room is one of the most storied in the White House, having seen the signing of the peace protocol at the end of the 1898 Spanish-American war, as well as John F Kennedy’s signing of the nuclear test ban treaty of 1963. It was also the setting for wartime addresses by George W Bush and Joe Biden and was once known as the “Monroe room” after President James Monroe, who used it as his work space."

Photo of an old-style gasoline push lawnmower. Not one of those Rand Paul ride-on mowers, not a self-propelled Husqvarna mower, a REAL mower. Belches fumes, craps out constantly. Get to work, Lindsey!
Screencap text: Donald Trump has told NBC News that U.S. strikes on Kharg Island “totally demolished” most of the island, adding “we may hit it a few more times just for fun”. He added he is not ready to make a deal with Iran to end the conflict because “the terms aren’t good enough yet.”
Illustration of a WWII bomber riddled with enemy damage on the wings and tail, but not the ball turret or propeller motors. This hypothetical pattern of damage of surviving aircraft shows locations where they can sustain damage and still return home. If the aircraft was reinforced in the most commonly hit areas, this would be a result of survivorship bias because crucial data from fatally damaged planes was being ignored; those hit in other places did not survive. In other terms, “We need to reinforce the other parts, because they made the other planes unable to return.”
Screencap of a news item with a photo of shitstain Greg Bovino. The relevant text is "DHS launches investigation into Bovino's alleged disparaging remarks - report The Department of Homeland Security has opened an internal investigation into allegations that Gregory Bovino, a senior border patrol official, made disparaging remarks about the Jewish faith of Minnesota’s top federal prosecutor, the New York Times reported."

Screecap from The Guardian: Vance slams Minneapolis protests: 'It's cowardly bullshit' While speaking in Toledo, Ohio, vice-president JD Vance slammed the ongoing demonstrations against federal immigration agents in Minneapolis (where he’s due to visit later today). “If you want to turn down the chaos in Minneapolis, stop fighting immigration enforcement and accept that we have to have a border in this country. It’s not that hard,” he said during his Thursday remarks at a shipping facility. He went on to say that people should show their disapproval at the ballot box, not by going “to the street and assaulting federal law enforcement.” “It’s cowardly bullshit,” he added.
Simpsons "that's a paddlin'" screencap except now it says "That's a follow. (and a paddlin'?)" Because that tiktoker is ferocious.
A photo of the White House as seen from the Rose Garden; in addition to the decorative violence that is newly applied, they've hot-glued that stupid gold decorative accent ALL OVER THE WALL. You know the one, it looks like a Buddhist flame symbol or something, it's glued on in random groupings and rotated in random angles. It's infuriating.
Photo of DHS demon Kristi Noem. She's trying SO HARD to look like a Mar-a-Lago cosmetic surgery success, but her neck is saggy, her face is pockmarked, and let's be honest, you can't outrun time.
Photo from Dwight D. Eisenhower's farewell address, where he warned against the potential influence of the military–industrial complex. The last "good" Republican.
Screencap of the Minnesota Star Tribune reporting on the murder of a woman by ICE. Their headline says "Video of the shooting shows an agent firing at a vehicle as it drives toward him." I've corrected it to say "Video of the shooting shows an agent firing at a vehicle as he jumps in front of it."
News item: Trump says Venezuela has agreed to let him sell 30-50 million barrels of oil Donald Trump, who has for years claimed that the US military can and should be used to take control of the oil of foreign nations, announced on Tuesday that the interim authorities in Venezuela have agreed to let him sell between 30 and 50 million barrels of their oil. “I am pleased to announce that the Interim Authorities in Venezuela will be turning over between 30 and 50 MILLION Barrels of High Quality, Sanctioned Oil, to the United States of America. This Oil will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, as President of the United States of America, to ensure it is used to benefit the people of Venezuela and the United States!” Trump wrote on his social media platform. “I have asked Energy Secretary Chris Wright to execute this plan, immediately,” he added. “It will be taken by storage ships, and brought directly to unloading docks in the United States.”
Screencap of a news item headlined "Trump calls Caracas strikes 'amazing' and 'brilliant' at House GOP retreat" Trump revels in the fact that no US military were killed, but "on the other side, a lot of people were killed." The relevant line of text regarding Maduro is highlighted, trump said "He gets up there and he tries to imitate my dance a little bit" suggesting Maduro got black-bagged because trump's a butthurt little whiny bitch.
That scene in Blazing Saddles where Gene Wilder calls the "salt of the earth, common clay" people morons.
The images are really arresting. What is your response to people who say that these images are unfair? There’s been a lot of attention about Karoline Leavitt’s lips and [what appear to be] injection sites. I didn’t put the injection sites on her. People seem to be shocked that I didn’t use Photoshop to retouch out blemishes and her injection marks. I find it shocking that someone would expect me to retouch out those things.
Trump says he will sign executive order classifying fentanyl as 'weapon of mass destruction' “With this historic executive order I will sign today, we’re formally classifying fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction, which is what it is,” Trump says.

Vintage photo of people relaxing in a spacious airplane cabin. Seriously, it's mind-boggling how enormous and capacious the cabin is. It's like a hotel lobby or something.
Project 2025 Mandate for Leadership, the title has been subtly edited to say "The Conservative Promise. We Want you Heathens Dead. We Promise."
Screencap of a character called Ham Rove on "The Colbert Report" back in 2011 (?) It's literally a greasy, overprocessed canned ham stood upright, no embellishments, save for a pair of glasses.

Headline story from the Financial Times, "Why America’s economy is soaring ahead of its rivals," subhed "The country’s outperformance is rooted in long-term productivity growth that is the envy of the developed world. Could Trump’s policies endanger its lead?"
On January 17, 1961, in this farewell address, President Dwight Eisenhower warned against the establishment of a "military-industrial complex.": A vital element in keeping the peace is our military establishment. Our arms must be mighty, ready for instant action, so that no potential aggressor may be tempted to risk his own destruction. . . . American makers of plowshares could, with time and as required, make swords as well. But now we can no longer risk emergency improvisation of national defense; we have been compelled to create a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions. . . . [highlighted text mine] This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. . . .Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. . . . In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.
Although launched by Democratic presidents, the food stamp program saw its largest expansion under the stewardship of a Republican president, Richard Nixon, in the wake of Senator Robert F. Kennedy’s highly publicized trips to the Mississippi Delta and Appalachia, the Poor People’s Campaign of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the 1968 CBS documentary “Hunger in America,” which shocked viewers with images of starving children with sunken features and bloated bellies. “That hunger and malnutrition should persist in a land such as ours is embarrassing and intolerable,” Nixon asserted in a May 1969 message to Congress that expressed his determination “to put an end to hunger in America for all time.”
Beautiful illustration of Manos, from the film Manos, The Hands of Fate. The text says "Maybe it will happen today." And holy fuck, let's pray it happens today.
Screencap of the monty python sketch where the adjuster is telling the claimant that his insurance policy doesn't actually cover anything.
Screencap of a dumbass quote from the Oval Office just now: Trump made a number of other hyperbolic, in some cases, mathematically impossible claims about his administration’s achievements as he spoke during the Diwali event at the White House. The president said of his efforts to lower the cost of prescription drugs that “drug prices are going to be coming down 100 percent, 200 percent, 300 percent, 400 percent, 500 percent in some cases.” (A 100 percent reduction would reduce a price to nothing.) A minute later, he returned to the claim, but the numbers kept rising: “I’m bringing prices down 600 percent, 700 percent, 900 percent.”
An official photo of Dwight Eisenhower. He's sitting on a bench with his legs crossed, one arm daintily crossed across his lap. He's smiling a full-toothed smile. This is the kind of photo modern republicans would call GAYY, yet this was last strong, admirable republican the USA knew.
