I Hate That I Feel This Way

Aw hell… why can’t I just be a hockey fan and enjoy it?

Alex Ovechkin tied Wayne Gretzky’s record for career goals last night by scoring his 893rd and 894th goals. Gretzky broke the previous record of 801, held by Gordie Howe, back in 1994.

I want to just be a fan and enjoy the little bit of hockey history, but I can’t. Politics has ruined this for me. Ovechkin is from Russia and in the past has been a vocal supporter of putin. Gretzky stated publicly that he is a trump supporter. Fuck them both. Fuck them both right in their ears. Two fucking fascists.

Ovechkin could break the record as early as tomorrow and I don’t give a flying fuck at a rolling donut. To hell with him and to hell with Gretzky. Also, just to show that I am not just being a sore loser Bruins fan… Bobby Orr is a trump supporter too. The greatest Bruin ever… fuck him too. They can all just rot.

Mild

The weather was kinda nice today. It was warm enough for me to open the windows in my home office. The cats approved.


Change of subject. Here is my unsolicited political thought of the day.

I grew up under the threat of nuclear war. I am very familiar with existential dread. What I did not expect is that the source of the worst existential dread would be some fucking moron who can't do math…… ……but here we are.

Are We Great Again Yet?

The nazi orange shit clown announced a slew of new tariffs yesterday. Pretty much every country in the world except for Russia (who owns him, clearly) got a new batch of hefty tariffs because the nazi orange shit clown still thinks it is 1930 and he never heard of that little thing we call The Great Depression. Fucking moron.

I just saw a graphic showing that at one point today the Dow Jones was down 1,225 points, the NASDAQ was down 827.19 points, and the S&P 500 was down 202.60 points.

So my question for the nazi orange shit clown moron is…

Are we great again yet?

Putz.


The Worst Attitude

I think that the worst attitude an american can have right now is apathy. The natural inclination is to look at current events, decide that it’s so far out of our control that there is nothing we can do about it, and then give in to indifference.

I get it. I completely understand the urge to go that route.

But then you read a headline about someone torching a bunch of swasticars in Germany and you start thinking that there is always something you can do to resist the fascists. Even if it’s just sharing news. Maybe you’ll say something that will fall on the right ears and change someone’s mind about the drain we’re currently circling and, who knows… maybe it will make a difference.


  • Luke Skywalker: Look, I can’t get involved. I’ve got work to do. It’s not that I like the Empire; I hate it, but there’s nothing I can do about it right now… It’s all such a long way from here.
  • Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi: That’s your uncle talking.

We need to stop listening to Luke Skywalker’s Uncle Owen. We need to spend more time listening to Ben Kenobi. He’s a cool dude. He knows what’s what.

Close Call

That was close! My wife sent me a text with some ideas for dinner plans and I almost accidentally added a bunch of russian spies and classified military secrets to the thread. Woah, bullet dodged there.

Pissed Off Sequel Post

This post is a sequel to the pissy political post I put up yesterday. I feel like I am getting exponentially more upset over this topic thanks to social media. My bluesky feed has spent the last few days being bombed with posts discussing how the courts will save us or how the orange shit clown nazi fuck is extra awful for ignoring the courts.

Even the chief justice of the supreme court got into the discussion today in response to the nazi fuck saying basically that judges who rule against him should be impeached.

The chief justice of the same supreme court that ruled the sitting president is immune from prosecution for anything he does while acting as president which basically puts him legally above the law and within his rights to do any psychotic shit that he wishes, including laughing in the face of the courts when they rule against him felt justified to comment about how the courts and the executive branch interact.

Are you fucking kidding me, Roberts? You know, asshole, you had your chance to comment on this discussion not so long ago but instead you decided to let the fucking president become a fucking dictator. Fuck you, Roberts. Fuck you right in your mother fucking eyes.

I am shocked by how clueless so many americans are right now. I am extra shocked to see behavior like this by the man who is in charge of the ACTUAL GOVERNMENT BODY THAT MADE IT POSSIBLE.

Now now, donny, says the chief asshole of the supreme court of the nazi states of america, just because we made it legal for you to declare yourself dictator and do whatever the fuck you please doesn’t mean you should be a big old orange meanie to the poor wittle judges.

Fuck you, Roberts. Fuck you, you nazi fucking fuck.

No One Seems to Get It

Spoiler alert, here comes another political bitch fest. You’ve been warned.

I don’t get why so many people don’t seem to understand this. People are looking to the US courts to keep the orange shit clown from destroying our country. Why? Haven’t these people been paying attention?

The supreme court of the fascist states of america gave the sitting president immunity from all prosecution for any actions taken while in office. That means the sitting president can literally do whatever he wants without any repercussions. Why then do so many people think that a court ruling against him will have any affect? The court says he can’t just deport anyone he pleases? Fine. He’s immune from prosecution so he ignores the court ruling. The court says he can’t rescind birthright citizenship? Fine. He’s immune from prosecution so he ignores the court ruling. The court says he can’t cancel aid payments that congress passed and a previous president signed into law? Fine. He’s immune from prosecution so he ignores the court ruling.

The federal government is gone. The supreme court saw to that with the immunity ruling. The constitution of the united states is gone. The supreme court saw that that with the immunity ruling. We are living in a dictatorship now where the president has absolute power and can do whatever psychotic thing he pleases and there is nothing we can legally do about it.

Why are so many americans having such a hard time realizing this? It is as clear as an azure sky of deepest summer. It is as clear as an un-muddied lake. It’s like when the trade federation dude asked Darth Sidious if his blockade was legal and Sidious said he’d make it legal. The orange shit clown doesn’t need to make his bullshit legal, the supreme court has already done that for him.

Enjoy your new dictatorship, citizens of the former united states. We’re stuck with it now.

Shill

The only way this could be funnier (and by funnier I mean more insane and insulting and horrible) would have been if numbnutz the orange shit clown bought a swasticar and it caught fire in the white house driveway.That would have been more ridiculous, but only a little bit.

Car Pimp

So did I hear this correctly? The unelected president of the united states sold a car to the elected president of the united states and the two of them pimped the new car in front of the white house effectively turning the office of president of the united states (elected and otherwise) into a car salesman?

Is that right?

Does that mean we’re great again now? Is that how this works?

Fucking whores.

On a related note, I really enjoyed it when the elected president of the united states told the american people that it was against the law to choose not to buy a tesla. Go read his post… he said that… literally. He was trying to say that it was against the law to protest tesla, I think, which is also laughable but it came off as saying it was illegal to not buy a tesla. I guess I am an uber criminal then. Who knew?
