"Trump said he would consider backing a primary challenger to Greene, who was once a staunch ally but has been increasingly critical of the president in recent weeks."

I have a dilemma. I came up with two gross, disgusting, scatological analogies to describe this fight between DJT and MTG, and I can't decide which to use. They're very similar. So... I'll use them both.

1. This fight is like if someone poured a vat of diarrhea onto a dried up turd in an attempt to dissolve it.
2. This fight is like if someone tossed a desiccated turd into a puddle of diarrhea to try to soak it up.

The second dilemma is deciding which one of them is the puddle of diarrhea and which one is the dehydrated turd. So... I'll leave that one as an exercise for the reader.

Anyway, in conclusion, to hell forever with both Donald Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene, as usual.

Full headline, because I didn't even try to fit it up there[1]: "Trump calls on Justice Department to investigate Jeffrey Epstein's relationship with political and other figures"

"The president said he will ask Pam Bondi to investigate former President Bill Clinton and others' relationships with the late convicted sex offender, a former friend of Trump's."

Does Trump think that exposing Democrats as being clients of Jeffrey Epstein is some sort of "gotcha" moment or some shit? We've known for years now that William J. Clinton was probably raping teenagers on Epstein Island. That's not some revelation. Just like we've known for years now that Donald J. Trump was also probably raping teenagers on Epstein Island.

As far as I'm concerned, we can throw Bill Clinton into the same prison cell as Trump over this shit. Just so long as it's not just Bill Clinton, while Donald Trump is still walking free.

Hearing that Trump is stamping his feet like a tantrum-throwing three year old, demanding that his Department of Vengeance investigate everyone else except himself would be fucking laughable, or maybe fucking sad, if it wasn't so fucking, goddamned wrath-inducing.

And yes, Trump, this is indeed like Russia Russia Russia, i.e. a credible accusation against you for your decades long collaboration and collusion with Putin in order to get where the fuck you are today, just like the "ePsTeIn hOaX" is a credible accusation against you for your decades long collaboration and collusion with Jeffrey Epstein in order to get teenage pussy. Maybe you shouldn't be reminding everyone of your ties to Russia, like, say, that pee tape that you claim is just as much of a dEmOcRaT hOaX as the Epstein stuff. I mean, if you were a smart person, you wouldn't be reminding people of that shit.

Anyway, in conclusion, to hell forever with Donald Trump, as usual, as always. But before he ends up in hell, I wish upon him a tiny prison cell for the rest of his life. Though that's nothing new, as I've been wishing that upon him for almost a full fucking decade now, for what good it's done. *eye roll*

Wow, Pat looks weird without the clown makeup now. It might be that he still has partially purple hair, though.

I've seen this movie at least two or three times (the first time being the year it came out in 1985, when I was 6 years old), and the only things I vividly remember is "CHICKEN!!" and "DOOOROOTHYY GAAAALEE!!!"

The rest is mostly a blur. Like, I remember the GnomeNome King being in the movie, but I remember next to nothing about him. And I vaguely remember Tik-Tok and Jack Pumpkinhead and the Gump, but they were just kind of there. Part of this, though, is because since the last time I watched this movie, years ago, and now, I've read through the first seven-and-a-half[1] Oz books, so it's now like... I remember the characters, but what they did in the books versus what they did in that movie were different, so it's more difficult to remember the movie. Guess that means I need to watch it again.

[1] - I started losing interest after Dorothy and Auntie Em and Uncle Henry all moved to Oz to live there for good, and other people started being the main characters (Tip aside, as that was the second book, with Dorothy again as the main protagonist in the four that came after it. The seventh book was okay, because I liked Scraps, but I just stopped reading the eighth book at some point, and never went back, mainly because Betsy was just "here's Dorothy again, but her name is Betsy this time." (And, to be honest, even Dorothy herself was starting to wear a little thin, as there were only so many quirky ways one girl can be suddenly whisked away by a natural disaster to Oz or an Oz-adjacent land, which I guess is why the sixth book was originally meant to be the final Oz book, before Baum realized he still needed to eat).

Anyway, in conclusion, to hell forever with Donald Trump and RFK Jr. and "red state" governments and all this asinine anti-vaccine dumbfuckery, just in general.

It amuses me to see how much amusement Woolie and Pat themselves get from watching the modern video game industry shit itself out into a trashcan and then light it on fire.

Handful of milquetoast "Democrats" join GQP to accomplish exactly fuck all, step number eight billion or so toward normalizing Trumpish dogshit.

Quislings, in other words.

If I went the entire rest of my life without ever once hearing about Soulja Boy again, it would be too soon.

For some reason, these never showed up in my Feedly thing, so I never knew about them until now, today, when I watched the latest episode of HFIL and they had an ad for it/them at the end. Which... may mean that more such videos are coming soon? That'd be cool.

None of these videos seem to be related to each other in any way, other than all of them being part of Team Four Star's Space Duck Videos thing. Yeah, I'd watch more stuff like this.

Trump is threatening to sue California after voters passed Proposition 50, which would allow California to gerrymander in a way that would make it easier for Democrats to retake the House next year. This, of course, comes after Trump explicitly asked the Texas GQP to do the exact same goddamn thing, except in his favor.

I mean, I get it. California is doing it as a thumb in the eye to Trump and as a direct response to Trump's Texas bullshit, which makes Trump's tiny mushroom shrivel in rage and fear that he might lose power, whereas the thought of Texas adding more Trumpanzees to Congress makes Trump's little Toad swell a few quectometers (as much as is possible).

If Trump somehow wins and the shit in California is struck down by the courts, then the courts better fucking turn right around and strike down the shit in Texas, too. Or if the legal challenges to either of these things reach the Supreme Court... well, I suppose it will end up being balanced out in that case, too. If the Supreme Court were to strike down the California stuff, that should de facto also strike down the Texas shit, or if the Supreme Court upheld the Texas shit, that should by default uphold the California stuff, too. Unless, of course, the way Trump "wins" is somehow via his typically absurd, bullshit claims of "vOtEr FrAuD" or whatever. Or, else, if the Supreme Court somehow does semantic contortion in such a way as to rule that what Texas is doing is fine and dandy while what California is doing is strictly a big no-no, which I could very easily see the Trump-stacked SCOTUS doing.

Honestly, I think gerrymandering sucks, no matter who is doing it. However, in this particular case, it's good that California is doing it, at the very least, to rebalance out and possibly prevent the horseshit that Trump and the GQP wants. Because, in this day and age, pretty much anything Trump and the GQP wants is worth preventing, no matter what it takes to prevent it. And there's also the fact that one of the reasons Trump/the GQP have been winning elections at all very likely has been in part due to all the disgusting, ridiculous gerrymandering in GQP favor that has happened over the past decades. Just one of many, many ways the GQP has been rigging/gaming the system to try to artificially stay in power, of course. (See also: stacking the Supreme Court in their favor.)

"Potent engines..." "...unprincipled men..." "...subvert the power..." "...usurp for themselves..." "...destroying afterwards..." "...unjust dominion." You know, all that asinine shit that George Washington predicted would happen, over two centuries ago.

(And yes, I know, I keep swiveling back and forth between describing Trump as a puddle of diarrhea and as a dried up turd. The point is that he's shit, no matter which way one looks at it. He will never not be shit.

With apologies to actual shit for the undue comparison. I take it all back. Trump is not shit. Trump is worse than shit could ever possibly aspire to be. As I've said many times before, a literal wet sack of dogshit would make for a better POTUS than Donald J. Trump, even if all it did was just lay there, unmoving, for four whole years, doing nothing at all.)

Anyway, in conclusion, to hell forever with Donald Trump and the GQP, as usual, and the sooner the better.
