OMG. I thought no one could out-rude The Rude Pundit. Probably still true with respect to the

[wiggs]

Bush-era Rude One. But...currently I give a rude tip of the hat to Jo Jo from Jerz, who regularly, accurately, and genuinely turns a bright light on outrageous public figures and their MAGA actions. She outdid herself today in pondering the MTG

A small portion:

Suddenly she’s wounded. Suddenly she’s delicate. Suddenly she’s discovered “vitriol” and “hate” and “lying to get his way,” as if Donald J. Fucking Trump hasn’t operated exclusively on those three ingredients since Back to the Future was in theaters.

And now she’s playing the “I’m a victim” violin?

Oh sweet baby Jesus in a Buck Rogers unitard, she’s out here bleating about “hate” and “lying,” like she didn’t personally turn those qualities into a business model, a merch pipeline, and a CrossFit-adjacent sermon series. She delivered his talking points with the reverence of a televangelist and the breathlessness of a woman powered by expired pre-workout and unfiltered spite — and NOW she wants to pretend she’s discovering Trumpism’s cruelty for the first time?

Bless her black little heart… that poor stupid thing never stood a chance. It’s not just that she’s a fucking idiot. It’s also that she’s mean — it’s mostly that she’s mean. Mean in the marrow. Mean like someone who laminates her grudges. Mean like a woman whose spiritual gift is recreational cruelty. Mean with purpose, with enthusiasm, with cardio — with poorly executed pull-ups.

1. I agree, her "meanness" is such that you know she beats her dogs and cats for fun (If she had them).

2. She Does Indeed Give the RP a Run for His Money! No Prisoners Taken and Refreshing to Have a Female Take on This

Gradually deteriorating den of would-be vipers.

I will be checking back on this one!

3. I imagine most politicians, analysts, and pundits would LOVE to write about how insane things are and

how limited, small, and disordered TSF is...so when someone such as JoJo, Rude Pundit express colorfully what everyone is thinking it feels fresh and heartening personally. I hope it eventually bubbles up and provides courage to those speaking out in MSM...sooner or later we'll look back on these times and be astonished that more people wouldn't/couldn't state the obvious.

Thanks JoJo, Rude One, Jasmine, (and to George Conway, Steve Schmidt, Rick, others to a lesser degree) whose eyes are wide open and whose posts are blunt and honest.

4. Whenever one of the most rabid followers of DT turns away from him,

then spills the beans about how pathetic he is & how his party disrespects him behind closed doors, my instinct is not to look a gift horse in the mouth.

That said, Jo Jo from Jerz is impressive & I totally agree with her take on MTG, but I'm thankful that she is speaking out against him. I wouldn't want to discourage her.

5. MTG can speak out all she wants

the problem I have with her is she seems to think this washes the Trump stink off of her - it doesn't.....she will always smell bad, no matter what happens

6. new and even more rude. THIS is how it's done.

The other day, with the gusto of a cooked-shrimp demagogue desperate to be adored, he resurrected the slur he once denied — calling African nations “shitholes” like he was retrieving a cherished heirloom — then sighed into the microphone about wanting immigrants from Norway and Sweden, as though whiteness were a visa and humanity were ranked on a color-coded spreadsheet. It was brazen, bigoted, breathtakingly vile — and yet the silence that followed was somehow worse.

Because maybe none of this is new. Maybe it’s the same cycle we’ve all been screaming into the void about since he rode down that motherfucking escalator like a cross-wired omen someone accidentally green-lit for public consumption. Or maybe this is just the natural byproduct of letting a small, spoiled man speak like a king long enough for him to believe he is one.

His words feel less like sentences and more like airborne toxins — microscopic particles of malice drifting into the national bloodstream. Sometimes he speaks and it feels like the English language files a restraining order. The man doesn’t open his mouth; he opens a portal. And what comes out is always the same: the hungry, hollow howl of a pampered pariah swaddled his entire life in sycophants, a man untouched by consequence and utterly unacquainted with refusal.

More accuracy, honesty, and memorable turns of phrases:
