Oh THAT’LL work

Yeah, I can REALLY SEE Putin ending this infernal war just because Mushroom Cock told him to. Not, of course, that I believe the latter’s sudden concern for the Ukrainian people is at all genuine; in almost all these cases what the aggressor wants is victory, not actual peace, and the spoils that accompany it, and Drumpf wants his share of those more than anything. And if he keeps wagging his finger at Putin, he might be lucky to get any of those, cos I don’t think Vlad will take kindly to his puppet telling him off like this somehow…

De-liberation?

Mushroom Cock’s “beautiful” tariffs from last week appear to be on hold… yay?

Donald Trump’s surprise decision to pause the hefty tariffs he had just imposed on dozens of countries brought relief for battered global stock markets, even as he ratcheted up a trade war with China.
Markets across Asia rose sharply on Thursday on signs that the US president’s trade war may not prove as damaging to the global economy as feared.
European markets, which had closed when Trump announced the 90-day pause on Wednesday, jumped at the start of Thursday’s session. The FTSE 100 was up 6.2%, rising 485 points to 8166 points, continuing the relief rally. Germany’s Dax rose 7.8% while France’s Cac 40 was up 6.4%, and Spain’s IBEX 35 climbed 7.2%.
Trump’s U-turn, which came less than 24 hours after steep new tariffs kicked in on most trading partners, followed the most intense episode of financial market volatility since the early days of the Covid pandemic.
The upheaval erased trillions of dollars from stock markets and led to an unsettling surge in US government bond yields that appeared to catch Trump’s attention.

It appears someone at the White House retains enough sense to be scared by this shit, cos, you know, trillions of dollars being wiped out is bad despite what the orange dickhead probably thinks and despite what his cultists and propagandists would have you believe:

Losing money means nothing. Sure. It’s not like you’re losing anything except money. You know, that thing which, as a general rule, allows people to buy food, which is kind of necessary to stay alive (unless the breatharians are actually right somehow). I don’t know how America First policies taste, but I’m fairly sure they’re empty calories anyway.

Speaking of “America’s Hitler”…

I said to my housemate the other day that I was impressed by the speed with which Mushroom Cock and his mob have wrecked the US, and I actually meant that unironically. I know that destruction is always easier and faster than creation, but I would never have thought that nearly 250 years of a republic could be brought down quite as quickly as it has been; I do think it’s impressive, in the same way that the Hiroshima bomb was impressive…

…And I’m similarly impressed in an appalled way by the speed with which he’s got down with actual Nazi symbolism (I took the above screenshot myself). Via Snopes:

On March 9, 2025, Trump posted — without comment — a link to an opinion piece by Army veteran Jeremy Hunt titled “Army recruitment ads look quite different under Trump.” It featured an illustration depicting the pink upside-down triangle and a “no” symbol. We reached out to the artist, Linas Garsys, and will update this story if we get a response.
Hunt’s article mentioned the presence of LGBTQ+ people in previous Army recruitment efforts. It compared Biden-era advertisements that showed, for example, an Army officer marching in a pride parade, with an ad from Trump’s administration that featured a soldier in the gym lifting weights and “declaring to the camera, ‘Stronger people are harder to kill.'” Hunt wrote: “This sea change in advertising style isn’t merely about aesthetics; it signals to the world that our military is serious and prepared to fight.”

Now, technically speaking, it’s not really Drumpf himself using the pink triangle, it’s the Washington Times which is the Moonie-owned newspaper that loves him; as Snopes observes, the pink triangle with “no” sign is the work of one Linas Garsys, whose Instagram header describes him thus:

…”Gay shit”? Linas Garsys is gay? A gay artist drawing the pink triangle with a “no” sign? Why would… OH! I’m so fucking dense. Of COURSE, he’s being IRONIC, it’s a PUNK STATEMENT, it’s SUBVERTING, the Washington Times is probably taking it out of context and maybe even without his permission…

…Oh. OK, so much for irony and punk, now I’m more confused…

Anyway, the Snopes article charitably asks whether Trump actually knew what he was doing in reposting this article with this particular image; did he even read it, or did he just reactively repost it because he can’t resist sycophancy? And does he know what the pink triangle means? That’s actually a fair question, given that he is a pig-ignorant idiot, but at the same time… yeah, I’d be surprised if he didn’t. Does Jeremy Hunt hunt know what it means? Did he have any idea this would be the accompanying graphic? Read both it and the article together, it looks like it’s saying the US military is indeed serious and prepared to fight, like Hunt says, but it’s mainly prepared to fight its own queer members of the corps. Don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t enlist to begin with. Maybe Linas’ illustration was meant sarcastically or subversively after all. I don’t know any more. Fuck all these people.

Out in the cold

It’s Mushroom Cock’s inauguration tomorrow, and the big day is… being moved indoors for the first time since 1985. Which means a bunch of people who were going to be there now don’t have anything to go to…

Poor MAGA. Listen to my heart bleed. As has been noted, the weather on JFK’s inauguration day was basically the same as that predicted for tomorrow, and it still went ahead outside…

…But I’m also seeing a bunch of people on Threads saying the weather isn’t the issue anyway, and potential crowd size is the real problem. Apparently hotels in DC aren’t exactly sold out, and people are speculating he’s trying to avoid a repeat of the first time around, when attendance numbers were unspectacular compared to those of his immediate predecessor and the  unfortunate Sean Spicer was left having to tell transparent lies about how many people were “really” there. I would not be surprised to find this is in fact the actual case.

Parenthetically, Jimmy Carter was buried a few days ago, and the Carter Centre apparently released this image from the service…

…taken from an angle which VERY cunningly wipes Drumpf out of it (he was sitting directly to Obama’s left). I never actually saw any media coverage of the image or for that matter any discussion of it at all apart from the person I grabbed it from, so I don’t know if anyone on the right was fuming about this Stalinist unpersoning of Glorious Leader from an official photo, but fuck them if they were; we all saw the cunt was there in other photos where a pillar couldn’t obscure him, no one really wanted him there, and none of us wants to be reminded that he was. I’ll live with him being struck from the record…

Rock out with your Mushroom Cock out

There’s nothing this cunt can’t ruin, is there?

This mighty vision of rock’n’roll Dampnut just made me want to puke so much when I saw it a few days ago that I didn’t even want to talk about it here, something about it was too depressing somehow. Cos it wasn’t and isn’t the joke I initially hoped it was; I went to that website and OH FUCK they weren’t kidding… However, it now appears Gibson aren’t kidding either, cos they’ve notice certain similarities between this… thing and their Les Paul model:

Baby pay back

Eddy ain’t dancing with Dampnut no more:

Donald Trump has lost a legal battle with the singer Eddy Grant over using his 1983 song Electric Avenue in a 2020 ad without permission.
The 40-second clip – an animation of Joe Biden travelling in a railroad cart while a Trump-Pence campaign train passes at high speed – was viewed more than 13.7m times on Twitter before it was removed, according to Grant’s lawsuit.
The video was originally posted to Trump’s personal Twitter account on 12 August 2020 as the Republican president campaigned in his second, unsuccessful presidential election. Grant’s lawyers immediately sent a cease and desist letter, but the video was not removed until Grant sued on 1 September.
In a Manhattan court, a federal judge ruled that Trump breached Grant’s copyright and is liable for damages and Grant’s legal fees.
Judge John G Koeltl rejected the argument made by Trump’s lawyers that the video was protected under the copyright fair use doctrine. “It’s everything we asked for,” one of Grant’s lawyers, Brett Van Benthysen, told Business Insider. “100%.”
Another of Grant’s lawyers, Brian Caplan, told Business Insider: “As a staunch believer of artist’s rights and the ability to control their creative output, Mr Grant believes that the decision will help others in their fight against the unauthorised use of sound recordings and musical compositions. Politicians are not above the law and the court reaffirmed that.”

I’m perfectly fine with this, not just because it’s Trump losing (but hey, watching him lose a legal case certainly is pleasant to watch) or just because it’s Eddy Grant winning, but because fuck any politician who does this (on either side, obviously, I’d be pissed at any Democrat doing this, but I think they would have more sense). Especially when they’re stealing from an artist you know would hate them.

Third time’s the charm?

Yeah, someone apparently took another pop at Dampnut. I find myself oddly “meh” about this one, possibly because bugger all really happened; the gunman got chased off by the secret service before he could get a shot off, so Drumpf and his apologists can’t even claim he “took a bullet” like he did the previous time… not, of course, that he did take a bullet then, some other poor bastards did and it’s become increasingly obvious that Trump never suffered any real damage that time.

I hesitate to call “false flag” in the way my housemate Joe did when he spoke about to me, because that’s the sort of thing they would say (Alex Jones does all the time), but… the timing certainly is interesting. This all comes as the orange one has been on tour with Laura Loomer in the last few days; Laura is one of the biggest pieces of shit involved in right-wing activism, and there’s been many eyebrows raised at her accompanying Trump from the Republicans (Marjorie The Gathering had a particularly hilarious fit of the vapours over Loomer being racist towards Kamala Harris), partly because she’s an obviously revolting human being and a potentially very bad influence on someone who doesn’t need bad influences, but I’m sure it’s mostly because THEY’RE not getting to be bad influences on him as long as she’s in their way…

But the worst thing about Loomer’s presence around Trump…

…is that it’s given Milo Hanrahan a way to desperately become “relevant” again. I was so enjoying not hearing from this tedious cunt, but he’s been insisting on spreading stories about Loomer and Drumpf being, you know, a thing. Quite apart from it being inconceivable that Trump could actually get it up long enough for her to give him a blowie, this is Milo telling the story. You can’t trust him to tell you the sun will come up again tomorrow.

Anyway, the theory has been that this shit with Loomer has been a stunt to distract people from the debate last week, which is believable cos hardly anyone’s talked about that lately, she’s been the real subject of discourse for the last few days… so is this “shooting” also a distraction? To draw people’s attention away from Loomer now? Or from this?

In a stunning admission, the Republican vice-presidential candidate, JD Vance, said he was willing “to create stories” on the campaign trail while defending his spreading false, racist rumors of pets being abducted and eaten in a town in his home state of Ohio.
Vance’s remarks came during an appearance on Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union, where he said he felt the need “to create stories so that the … media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people”.
Asked by the CNN host Dana Bash whether the false rumors centering on Springfield, Ohio, were “a story that you created”, Vance replied, “Yes!” He then said the claims were rooted in “accounts from … constituents” and that he as well as the Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump, had spoken publicly about them to draw attention to Springfield’s relatively large Haitian population. […]
The rumors proliferating out of Springfield have led to bomb threats aimed at local hospitals and government offices. Vance on Sunday told Bash it was “disgusting” for the media to suggest any of his remarks had led to those threats. He also used the same term to refer to the people issuing those threats, though – in a separate appearance on Sunday on NBC’s Meet the Press – he made it a point to blame the media for accurately reporting on them, saying it was “amplifying the worst people in the world”.

So the whole story about illegals coming for your pets was transparent bullshit, obviously, but the racist foghorning worked, and that was the whole point. And J. Divans basically just said it outright. Helpful. Anyway, I don’t personally think this business with the Mar-a-Lago gunman actually is a false flag or similar distraction to take our attention away from the debate or Laura Loomer or JDV or Project 2025 or whatever we’re supposed to not be looking at… just why other people might do so. I do find it curious, mind you, that in both instances so far, the shooters have been Republican voters, which is not really what I’d expect if it were staged, you’d think they’d be more likely to hire a Democrat or independent or, well, anyone other than a Republican. Just waiting for someone to claim Taylor Swift was really behind it…

“Concepts of a plan”

Somehow the debate between Dampnut and Kamala Harris actually went ahead, even though his lordship was supposedly threatening not to do it just a few days ago… and depending on which side you’re on, the general consensus seems to be that Kamala won, it’s just a matter of how; did she just hopelessly outclass him, or did she conspire with ABC and the moderators assigned to the debate to gain an unfair advantage? Predictably, the latter is what I’ve seen a bunch of Trumpeters shrieking on Twitter, because OBVIOUSLY there was no other way she could possibly have outclassed the orange prick in the way she did… but she didn’t even really need to try that hard, cos Trump was perfectly capable of shitting his own bed. At one point he was asked about his healthcare plan:

During the presidential debate Tuesday night, Trump struggled to answer a question about his healthcare plan, accidentally revealing that he didn’t have one at all.
After his particularly lackluster response criticizing Obamacare but giving no alternatives, ABC moderate Linsey Davis asked Trump outright if he knew what he was talking about. “Yes or no, you still do not have a plan?” she said.
“I have concepts of a plan,” Trump replied. “I’m not president right now.”
“But if we come up with something, I would only change it if we come up with something that is better and less expensive. And there are concepts and options we have to do that. And you will be hearing about it in the not too distant future.”

Quite. I don’t know exactly how not-too-distant this future Trump referred to is, but the election is now less than two months away. I think people might want to hear more before then. This should’ve been the takeaway line from the show, of course, but then he had to descend to retelling recent news stories (that have already been debunked) about Haitian immigrants (illegals ones, too, because OBVIOUSLY) stealing and eating people’s cats and dogs. Because this sort of old-school racist bullshit is about all he has.

Anyway, the real sign that Kamala won the debate was this:

YES. TAY TAY’S FINALLY SAID IT. I don’t think anyone would be surprised as her siding with KH, of course,  but it’s kind of nice that she’s finally actually confirmed it. Especially cos it’ll piss Dampnut off.

Needless to say, SOME PEOPLE reacted to this normally:

Christopher Rufo is one of the most godawful people working in conservative American politics these days, so if even HE’s aghast at… whatever the fuck THAT was supposed to be, you should recognise you might have fucked up. But, of course, this is Oolong, not a normal person…

Needless to say Apartheid Clyde agreed with his goons that Trump was hard done by and the moderators were overly harsh on him. But the thing is, Trump is a lying cunt. And if he weren’t a lying cunt, people wouldn’t need to call him out for being a lying cunt. The onus is on him to not be a lying cunt on TV like that. Also, while I’m sure Oolong’s support for Dampnut is sincere, he’s also sucking up to him cos the old bugger’s spoken recently about getting him to head some government efficiency commission, so I presume Oolong’s being all “of course Trump won” so Trump doesn’t forget that idea. Not that it’ll happen anyway, I suspect.

In actually shocking news…

Trump acknowledges losing the 2020 election ‘by a whisker’ …Hang on, WHAT?

Former President Donald Trump publicly acknowledged that he did not win the 2020 presidential election, telling podcaster Lex Fridman that he “lost by a whisker.”
Fridman asked the Republican nominee about his expectations for his debate next week against Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, in a podcast episode released Tuesday.
Trump initially answered, “I’ve done a lot of debating … I’ve done well with debates,” before embarking on a tangent about the number of votes he received in 2020, saying: “I became president. Then the second time I got millions more votes than I got the first time.”
“I was told if I got 63 million, which is what I got the first time, ‘You would win. You can’t not win.’ And I got millions more votes than that and lost by a whisker,” Trump added.
Trump received about 74 million votes nationally in 2020, compared to 81 million for Joe Biden.
His admission is a departure from his usual rhetoric about the 2020 presidential election results, which he often claims were “rigged.”

I mean, that’s not really a “whisker” as such, but that’s not the important thing, which is that Trump just acknowledged having lost the 2020 election after years of claiming it was stolen and legal issues surrounding the matter. He apparently went back to the fraud story later in the interview, but too late, the damage was done, and OH that’s going to have some ramifications for his ongoing court strife. And Nick Fuentes is PISSED:

Fuentes noted that if Trump knows that he lost the 2020 election, then he “deserves to be charged” by special counsel Jack Smith for his efforts to overturn the results of the election.
“That actually vindicates the DOJ charge against him!” Fuentes declared. “Because the charge is that he knew he lost but he lied to defraud the people.”
“So, why did we do Stop the Steal?” Fuentes demanded to know. “Why did anyone go to Jan. 6? Why is anyone sitting in jail? Why did anything bad happen to anybody? Why did everyone get censored? Why is everything bad that has happened to the people that were involved, why did that need to happen if you’re just going to walk it all back and say, ‘Oh, I lost’?”
“Well, it would have been good to know that before 1,600 people got charged,” he continued. “It would have been good to know that before I had all my money frozen, [was] put on the No Fly List, [got] banned from everything, lost all banking and payment processing. It would have been good to know that before I, in 2017, dedicated my life to this as an 18 year-old in college. It just feels like a big ripoff.”
“It just goes to show what a tremendous betrayal it is,” Fuentes said. “It’s just such a callous indifference to the sacrifices that his supporters made on his behalf.”

Poor Nick. Daddy let you down so much. I’d feel sorry for you if you weren’t you.

And the worst of it is, I don’t think Trump actually meant to make that admission. It just slipped out of him cos he can barely put a coherent thought together any more. It’s not even like Lex Fridman was trying to coax that out of him or trip him up, Dampnut tripped himself up without any help… and, more to the point, I suspect that he never even noticed. Not only did he not mean to say it, he wasn’t even aware that he did say it… I don’t think going back to calling it a fraud later in the interview was an attempt to walk the statement back cos he didn’t even know he’d said it. I’ll admit it, I never used to like the line of attack suggesting Trump has mental issues, cos if someone is a titanic piece of shit I feel like ascribing a medical reason potentially gives them a way to diminish their responsibility for that. And I’m always a bit wary of diagnosis from a distance with this sort of thing… but in Trump’s case it’s getting harder and harder to ignore.

I doubt that somehow

Tay Tay has been slow off the mark to say who she does endorse in this US election thing…

…but I’m fairly sure it’s not Dampnut. This is how desperate for attention the orange cunt is getting, resorting to reposting AI-generated bullshit created by other right-wing chuds like this. I feel safe in saying he also has no idea that these things are fake, too; the important thing for the clowns making them is that Senpai Noticed Them, and if he doesn’t know the images are fake that just makes it even funnier for them…
