Thursday Stuff


Mike Figueredo of The Humanist Report tells us about these young Republicans letting their wingnut “freak flags fly,” if you will, starting with this goofball trying to ban p*rn (good luck with that, you nematode)...now along comes this Daily Wire POS Craig Gleason charged with child molestation – they definitely don’t like that in the “big house,” from what I hear...on top of that, along come leaked messages of Repug staffers saying stuff like ”I love Hitler” and spouting sickeningly racist garbage, including Wiliam Hendrix, Bobby Walker and Peter Giunta...I agree with Figueredo in that the ”humor” from these wastes of protoplasm is an attempt at coping since they know how wrong they are, but of course they won’t admit it...also, this Joe Maligno character in New York wanted to “fix” the showers somehow; given his professed love of Nazis, I have no doubt that you can guess what he has in mind...all of this points out the foul, fetid corruption of one of our two major political parties in as probably as sickening a manner as we could ever see (oh, but I’m sure Smerky will show up on CNN to say “Both sides! Both sides!”...more here and here...NSFW/H)...



..and John Oliver gives Bari Weiss the treatment she deserves IMO...Oliver gets into the Paramount/Skydance merger (damn, that is one ugly looking goatee on Larry Ellison) and making Weiss editor-in-chief of news for what used to be called “the Tiffany Network,” which is beyond pathetic – worse is buying that pseudo news organization hilariously misnamed “The Free Press” for $150 million (must be nice to have waaay too much damn money)...and oh yeah, Weiss will report directly to Larry Ellison’s son David (and yeah, if the Gropenfuhrer likes that arrangement, then that is a big time blaring red siren IMO)...these clips do indeed give us a hint as to Weiss’s entitlement as opposed to, y’know, dumb stuff like – oh, I dunno – ACTUAL PROFESSIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENT! “Weapons grade whataboutism” indeed...and color me shocked (not really); when Weiss actually tries to report on something (namely, an NYT staff meeting about Tom Cotton’s infamous Op-Ed about militarizing our cities), she gets it completely and utterly wrong...I know I previously included that Young Turks video about Weiss leaving the Times over her hurt fee fees, so I won’t get into that again...fascinating that it takes a comedian to explain the difference between hard news reporting and editorializing (i.e., I do the latter at this dumb little blog and never have any illusions that I’m actually doing the former)...Weiss definitely has a history of promoting (and twisting) stories to appear that she’s looking out for transgender kids, though the opposite is in fact going on, as amplified in that “story” by Jamie Reed...and oh yeah, there was the imaginary crime wave in Austin, TX (pretty telling indeed when local news, which LOVES sensation, is telling Weiss to get a grip)...also, Weiss’s ridiculous misinterpretation of how bad starvation and famine truly is in Gaza...also, I didn’t know that Weiss co-founded her own university, no doubt to try and manufacture a whole other generation of glibertarians...and the Palantir guy AND Harlan Crow bankrolling her? Wow, what a wingnut rogues gallery behind Weiss’s fake unaccredited school (NSFW/H also)...



Update 11/4/25: I guess, if I were as despised as Weiss, I might need $10K daily for security also (here).

...and David Shuster of Rebel HQ discusses Robert De Niro making a video promoting the No Kings protests on Saturday, so OF COURSE “MAGA Mike” Johnson takes a break from watching p*rn with his son to say the “No Kings” protests are sponsored by Hamas and/or Antifa, which is a brazen lie as we know...also, polling is showing more and more people getting fed up with the ICE/immigration BS from Pumpkin Pol Pot...”it smells of ego and fear and false worship,” meaning #47’s cabinet meetings; kudos to Martin Sheen for that one, and welcome to the fight also, Ariana Grande, who asked Trump voters a bunch of damn pertinent questions (John Iadarola talks about the Trump regime attacking Grande, because of course)...glad to see Illinois judges going after those jackbooted ICE thugs for shooting a pastor in the head with a pepper ball and blocking those ICE goons from attacking journalists...



...and Farron Cousins tells us that the U.S. House Speaker is threatening to have the longest government shutdown in history, breaking the record set in Don The Con’s first term, also when Repugs were completely in charge...and once again, Repugs blame those dastardly Democrats who are fighting to protect health care for the majority of this country...good point by Cousins that, even if this gets resolved (hopefully), we’ll be looking at ANOTHER shutdown in November (memo to idiot voters in this country: will you EVER LEARN that THIS IS WHAT FREAKING HAPPENS EVERY TIME YOU PUT GODDAMN REPUGS IN CHARGE OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT???!!!)...good point by Cousins that all those stinking Repugs in the House do is pass a bunch of CRs to fund our government as opposed to, y’know, AN ACTUAL DAMN BUDGET, and that’s been the case for three years (and of course, our lapdog corporate media is all, “ssshhhh! Don’t upset Great White Father Trump.”)...



...and Jimmy Kimmel brings us Greetings from Hollywood...looks like Mel Gibson has a new pic on Jesus after the Resurrection (“Weekend at Bernie’s 2,” huh? Kind of edgy I’ll admit)...and it looks like Cantaloupe Capone is still trying to save us from the hellscape of dancing frogs and blow-up toys in Portland, Oregon...good job on the “Witch Hunt” matching signs joke...also liked the “Show Me Your Hellhole” clips, and yeah, “Meal Team 6” gets another well-deserved shot also...we also revisit “MAGA Mike” Johnson not seating Adelita Grijalva to protect our “pedo *prez”...and oh, it looks like Eric Trump had a book ghostwritten for him wrote a book which (I guess) is about how great his old man allegedly is (the “drag queen story hour” thing is a nice touch IMO)...



...and happy birthday to John Mayer - guess we'll just have to keep waiting.
