When it hits the fan for a-holes

I look at this maga regime with its Constitution-scoffing crew constantly being publicly busted for war crimes, corruption, and abuse of power and wonder if this is just the way they like to live. Does Kristi Noem give a crap (in her panties) that her all-in trumpism as head of Homeland Security might actually be her undoing? Does Private Fragseth wake up in a clean bed after failing to sweep murder allegation under the rug? Is there any part of Kash Patel's makeup that makes him NOT want to make another humiliating appearance in front of a House committee?

I hope at the very least people like the above have painful ulcers from the eventual stress brought on by their vile behavior as we wait for any systemic justice. What I wonder is if they even realize what scumbags they are or if they just think they're victims of "witch hunts." Or if they 're just so evil they don't give a flying fuck about anything to the point where nothing really bothers them. If that's the case, it must be nice to not have a conscience like some kind of rat.

Is there a way to get an injunction against ICE?

The reports of them needlessly injuring people and detaining citizens is screaming for legal action. We know that they're allowing unvetted recruits into training. They aren't passing drug tests or criminal background checks. They're just trying to hit numbers in the ranks and in the process, passing along unqualified applicants and the public suffers. I think I'm going to call my lawmakers tomorrow and ask about this.

Someone write a book on Jake Tapper!

His health must be failing more than we know. Given his particular obsession with the declining health of U.S. presidents, it must be a sign that something's wrong with Jake now that we have a president who can no longer seem to keep his beady eyes open during what we consider the main presidenting hours.

One would expect the even-handed Tapper to be teasing his next book "Dozing Donnie" which could just be a picture book of press shots showing our aged president snoozing through various parades, cabinet meetings, Oval Office press sprays, meals, meet-and-greets, world consortiums, and so on. It could fill more pages than the failed volume he wrote speculating on Joe Biden's decline with age.

Perhaps Tapper is alive and well and just quietly reflecting on some criticism he received such as the skewed point of view of his book. Tapper failed to address the bigger question of why it's a bigger sin in the eyes of Americans for an effective and moral POTUS to show signs of aging than an immoral lying fascist POS convicted felon with outstanding federal and local charges against him showing signs of aging.

Or maybe Mr. Tapper is pleased that his bandwagon coverage of the felon's MRI (if it's happening, I don't watch CNN) is enough even out the scales. Or maybe the CNN boss who told the network to lay off covering the destruction of the White House East Room is telling Jake to cool it and Tapper is simply complying with all of his journalistic integrity. Or maybe He's just a hypocrite as this article below in the link seems to suggest.

Tapper Breaks Down Trump ‘Sleeping’ at Cabinet Meeting: ‘Not Abnormal for a 79-Year-Old’

January 6 redux

As limited as Smelly the Orange Clown is, he can track those things that have worked for him in the past and in his mind, January 6, 2021 worked for him. His filthy lackeys committed an act of terror on the legislative branch of government while he watched with glee on the television.

He knows he's the king of a troubled mass afflicted with ginned up anger issues stoked by the media bigots they've listened to over the past 30+ years. Many of them are the drunk in the bar looking for a fight. Even before January 6 he knew the power of his words with the various death threats to elected officials, judges, and popular personalities all made in his name.

With no sense of morality whatsoever, Smelly has added this device of saying "you'd get the death penalty in the old days" to his fake gold-plated toolbox. He's hoping for another January 6. If all he can get are thousands of crank calls from low-intelligence malcontents, he'll take it. But what he really wants is a pageant of violence. Again. Especially now with the worst poll numbers of any president in their first year and with things continuing to not go his way. Nothing would boost his ego more than to show his power by demonstrating that his people love him so much that his people would do anything for him.

It would be great if our elected Democrats referenced January 6 when talking about this. It would serve as a reminder of just how dangerous this sick man is.

FBI protecting Patel's girlfriend from complete obscurity

Alleged country music artist Alexis Wilkins doesn't have any hits or major awards to her name, but she's looking to change all that. Or her FBI director boyfriend Kash Patel is.

"My girl is badass. BADASS!" said Patel between snorts from inside a bathroom stall at the Delancy Rooftop night club in Manhattan. He continued "Pretty soon everybody's gonna know it because now she has an entourage. Beyonce's got the Beehive. My baby got the Kashbox. BOOYAH!"

Upon leaving the stall Patel was asked how he met Alexis Wilkins. He responded "who?"

The US economy added 42,000 private-sector jobs last month, more than expected

Source: CNN

Private-sector job creation bounced back in October, according to a snapshot of the labor market that has become more closely watched in the absence of official federal jobs data.

Payroll processing company ADP on Wednesday estimated that private-sector businesses added an estimated 42,000 jobs last month, a swing into positive territory after back-to-back months of job losses.

“That recovery is tepid, and it is not broad-based,” Nela Richardson, ADP’s chief economist, said during a call with reporters on Wednesday.

I think calling this a "recovery" after two miserable reports is like putting cologne on a turd. We could see these numbers revised down in the future as bad as things are.
