Fox fuse

I think I had sent around a clip of Rutger Bregman, a young Dutch historian, at Davos.
His main point was that the rich pay too few taxes, hardly a Fox News theme. Nevertheless, Tucker Carlson, one of the prime axxxhxxxs in Fox News prime time line-up for morons, who has recently being pretending to care about the less well off, invited Rutger for a talk on his show. Just like he spoke truth to power in Davos, Rutger spoke truth to Fox Power, with the result that the show did not get aired.

But Rutger, who was sitting in an Amsterdam studio, had recorded the whole thing himself, and the 10 minute clip, embedded in Erik Wemple’s brilliant analysis of the whole situation, is a must see. Poor Tucker - his only answer was to call Rutger an obscenity that defines Tucker himself.

Also, once again we see the bubble that people like Dotard, his close buddies, and his apologists on Fox News, Breitbart, etc are in. They can only give interviews to each other, staying inside their bubble. They just cannot handle criticism from the real world.

Enjoy the clip.....

Trump Toilets Inc.

(If you like this, read other posts on my blog. Or follow my blog to get updates when I post something new. Its free 😀) So the world’s most powerful man has now turned his attention to something that apparently urgently needs his intervention. Did you think it was Russia policy, or North Korea  policy, or social security, or health care? Not at all - but something far more important than that in this age - Toilets. Yes, toilets. That’s not a joke. The President of the United States, the Chosen One, Blessed be His Name, spent 15 minutes raging on about toilets, and how because of regulations, people need to flush 10-15 times. Well, he should know. With all the shxt that comes out of his mouth, I wonder if even 10-15 times is enough to flush it down. So away with those useless Obama toilets and let’s have real Trump Toilets - “I know more about Toilets than anybody - nobody can make Toilets as good as I can”. Maybe he’s already thinking about his next business opportunity. But afte

GQP Gun violence "solutions "

  Here is a partial list of “solutions” proposed by GQP Senators and reps, Fox News pundits, and other rightwing, soulless axxholes yesterday, each followed by my comments in brackets. - Give children bullet-proof backpacks. 1 Senator even suggested parents should buy children those instead of toys.  (They don’t wear backpacks in school. How about full bulletproof clothing? Why not give them full body armour? Heck, after your abortion laws have passed, make baby body armour compulsory - straight from the womb to safety). - why can’t we have security like at airports - with full body and backpack screening? (Well, the US has around 5000 airports, and about 150000 schools. They can’t even find enough miserably paid TSA personnel for the airports - good luck for the schools. Of course, since red states are banning books, and firing teachers who dare to mention black or gay people, maybe that money saved can be used to finance those scanners and the people to man them) - From Dan Patrick a

Understanding Talibangelicals

  In his big NBC interview shown yesterday, Dotard said it was a “big mistake” for DeathSantis to sign a 6 week abortion ban. Immediately, numerous pundits speculated that this could cause him to lose a lot of support in Iowa, the first-in-the-nation voters, where evangelicals dominate. And I thought - when will these guys learn? To use a formulation from an interview Jon Stewart did with one of them some months ago, the Talibangelicals don’t give a “flying fvck” about supposedly religious teaching - it’s all about power. To learn from the Brothers Karamazov again, if Jesus came back to earth tomorrow and criticized the Dotard, the Talibangelicals and the MAGA crowd would crucify him without a second thought. When you love and worship a rapist and pornstarfvcker, no other religious norms are going to stop you. ——————- To be very clear, this is true of ALL rulers who rely on religion to keep them in power - whether it’s Putin and Orban defending White Christianity, the Taliban in Afghan
