The one who really needs to be slammed is Trump.

Repeatedly.

Like, in a car door.

Or maybe under a sledgehammer.

Starting with his fat, grotesque head.

And if we could get Trump's pimp daddy, Putin, involved in this "being slammed" business, that'd be great, too.

(Also, on a bit of a tangent, why does Trump randomly capitalize Words in the posts he Makes on his dumbshit """"""Truth"""""" Social bullshit Website? Is he Stupid? I mean, yes, we all Know that he's very, very Stupid, but Still.)

*weary goddamned sigh*

At this point in time, with Donald fucking Trump as SCROTUS IMPOTUS, everyone in the world (with the probable exception of Vladimir Putin) should be viewing the United States through a "with 'friends' like this, who needs enemies?" lens. Obviously this refers to Zelensky and Ukraine, in this particular case, but I'd say it also applies to everyone else who has ever considered the US to be their ally, e.g. Europe or Mexico or Canada.

Also, as if Trump ever wasn't going to stop giving military aid to Ukraine. He wouldn't want to get on Big Papa Putin's bad side, now would he? Don't even fucking front.

Okay, let's go over this bit by bit, with a preemptive, hearty "Piss off" to Lindsey Graham.

( Ranting behind cut )

Pretty much, yeah. Tough to be a guy (Zelensky) who suddenly finds himself with two foreign leaders as enemies (Putin and Trump), whereas before he only had one (Putin).

Zelensky is just (correctly) calling out Trump's horseshit, because as he (correctly) sees it, Trump is nothing but a Putin flunky. Makes sense, considering Trump is trying to completely shut Zelensky out of """""peace talks""""" between USA and Russia that should absolutely involve Zelensky and Ukraine, but which currently does not, for reasons that only make sense to someone sniffing Putin's farts (i.e. Trump). Also, Trump is trying to Mafia strong arm Zelensky into accepting some bullshit mineral rights deal, and Zelensky is having none of it.

Dumbshit Jackass Trump, of course, is completely flying off the handle because of all this, calling Zelensky every stupid and untrue thing he can think of as an insult (up to and including making the utterly absurd claim that Zelensky started the war). Good on this Keith Kellogg guy for actually doing that thing I thought was impossible, i.e. a Trump guy being "more truthful." Sad to say he probably won't be a "Trump guy" for much longer, after this.

(Note, I'm using the headline for this that appeared in my Google News app and which appearsed in the tab on a desktop browser, not the headline that appears on the article if you click that link, which is a much blander "Trump and Zelenskyy trade barbs as US-Ukraine relations sour over the war with Russia.")

"Zelenskyy also said he would like Trump's team 'to be more truthful'..."


Asking for Trump, or anyone within smelling distance of Trump, "to be more truthful" is kind of like asking for the oceans "to be more dry." Trump isn't (just) living in a "disinformation space," Trump is a "disinformation space." Trump's face-anus is a turgid "disinformation space" that constantly spews disinformation the exact same way a diarrhetic anus spews shit.

Anyway, yeah, no fucking shit, Zelensky. Only took you three months to figure that shit out? But you still haven't actually figured anything out yet, if you seriously believe that there's even the most remote chance in hell that Trump will ever "be more truthful" about anything, at all, ever. In any case, as I predicted, this is you, now, getting bit hard in the ass. If only you read my Dreamwidth blog. *eye roll* Oh well.

"Hi. Companies owned by Elon Musk are now essential to how nations explore space and get connected on satellite internet. Perhaps Musk and other billionaires shouldn't be able to do unfettered capitalism in the cosmos? Especially when they claim to be driven and inspired by stories of moneyless space communism?"

Added the "middle-finger-worthy" tag right off the bat, just because it's all about Sissy SpaceX.

Yeah, calling Musk "the greatest capitalist in the history of the United States of America" is most certainly not the wonderful thing all those chodes think it is. And you'd think that Donald Trump would look dimly on Phony Stark horning in on his turf like that. Both of those guys could fit the title of "greatest capitalist in the history of the United States of America." As long as we all agree that that is a grievous insult, mind you, and not, like, a positive thing to call someone.

Unless things miraculously swerve somehow between now and when the fuck ever I happen to lurch out of bed tomorrowlater today, it looks like the United States has probably collectively brainsharted, yet again, and elected a brainshart-in-human-shape, yet the fuck again.
Fuck Donald Trump.

I will not stop saying that just because he has, somehow, almost assuredly become the goddamned President of the fucking United States of shitsucking America yet again, no more than I stopped saying it after the last time this living nightmare came to pass. The "bitter, unvarnished rage" I felt back then pales to that which I feel now, because we should have known better this time. (Too few, apparently, of us did and do know better, for what fucking good that has done.) He belongs in a prison cell or a fucking grave, not in the goddamned White House again. So yeah, fuck Donald Trump to hell forever.

Also, keep in mind, if Trump does somehow fail to make it through the next four years, JD Vance becomes President.

Oh, and the GQP have apparently also taken the entire Congress, both House and Senate, now. That, combined with the SCOTUS already having been stacked by Trump with dumbfucking assholes, along with the fact that Trump will likely get to appoint even more dumbfucking assholes to it, well, just goes to show that this country is utterly fucked up broken now, possibly irreparably.

As for the rest of the world... let's see... well, Ukraine is proper fucked now. I'm sure Putin is tickled pink, now that his puppet is back in power again. And anyone who has a problem with the way Israel is doing business in that part of the world is in for an even bigger world of hurt now than they already were. No telling what other fresh hell will come about as a result of Trump being POTUS again, either here or abroad. The dumbass is nothing if not unpredictable.

I guess the very thinnest silver lining to this is that this is the last time Trump can ever be President. You know, unless he wrecks the government so horribly to the point that the GQP becomes able to install him as dictator for the (hopefully very short) rest of his life. It's not like he hasn't floated the idea of being more than a two-term POTUS before, after all. You know, assuming he doesn't end up killing us all in a nuclear hellfire. That's still a very much not insignificant possibility, too, after all. "Destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion," and all that shit, perhaps literally.

So yeah. Pleasant dreams, everyone, for the next four years of utter hell on Earth. Oh, and 2024-2028-plus are going to be far worse than even 2016-2020 were, of that I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever. After all, there were at least a few guardrails in place back then to prevent Trump from just doing whatever the fuck he wanted. Not so much the case, this time. Trump and his army of lickspittles made sure of that.

(Speaking very selfishly here, I guess I can say, for once, that I'm glad I'm a cishet white male, because things are probably going to be very, very shitty for anyone who is not that for the next four years. But, then again, I also am neither obscenely rich nor a [hypocritical or otherwise] Christian, so... *shrug*

Well, no matter. Things are going to be shitty for everyone, even those who stupidly think that SCROTUS IMPOTUS Trump II was a wonderful idea. I just hope they live to regret it.)

"The G.O.P. abandoned a bipartisan border security bill that also aided Ukraine after Democrats called their bluff on immigration, agreeing to tough measures Republicans demanded."

(Just to note: the above link is to a New York Times article, so it might be trapped behind a paywall. If so, just enable NoScript for nytimes.com, and it should become visible. Or, at least, it's visible for me, anyway. [EDIT] Here is a snapshot of the article from archive.is, at least until that dies. To hell with paywalls. [/EDIT])

The gist of the above article: The GQP said they weren't going to support sending more money to Ukraine unless a bunch of draconian border restrictions (which had dick all to do with support for Ukraine) were tacked onto the bill. The GQP was banking on the Democrats to balk and, thus, allow the GQP to prattle about how the Democrats are "weak on the border." (And, I guess, also "weak on helping Ukraine"?) Instead, the Democrats essentially said, sure, okay, and agreed to most of the border shit. And, now, the GQPers are the ones balking and scuttling the bill, because their Lord and Savior Donald Trump would rather "the border" remain an issue, instead of allow it to be fixed[1] under Biden's administration.

The very best thing that could happen for this country would be for every single Trumpublican who is running for election/reelection in November (up to and including, of course, Dumbfuck Jizzstain Trump himself) to be soundly, unquestionably, thoroughly trounced forever. Until Trump is dead and gone, the Republican Party is essentially irredeemable (assuming they ever were redeemable, even before Trump befouled the political process by poking his mushroom-like chode into it all).

Don't get me wrong, the Democrats are still shit, too. But the Democrats are more like the kind of shit you can use for compost, at least, in which useful things could potentially be planted and grown. The GQP, on the other hand, is more like sludge that a sewage treatment plant would filter out as hazardous, toxic waste, in which nothing living could ever grow.

[1] - Depending on one's definition of the word "fixed," of course, since the bill kind of sucked, regardless, in part because the Democrats let the GQP "win" on so many of the things the GQP asked for. And now the GQP is rejecting that very same bill, because American politics is fucking stupid and broken and worse-than-worthless.

Of course they did.

In other news, grass is still green, generally speaking, the sky is still mostly of a bluish color, and water is, on the whole, still wet.
