Sorry I didn’t write something yesterday. I went to the dentist in the morning and felt not good for the rest of the day. I still don’t feel great, but here we are.
Over the weekend, King County passed 80% of residents 5 and older vaccinated. If you’re in King County, and you’re one of those people, I am so glad we’re in it together. We’re getting it done. With Omicron coming, we’re prepared pretty well. I am proud to live here.
And hey, wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you haven’t yet,
In the wake of the released FOX personality messages to Meadows during the Jan 6 GOP Terror Attack, yesterday I heard On The Media’s Brooke Gladstone honestly discussing with NPR Public Editor if they would no longer refer to it as FOX “News” since they might conclude that was deliberately misleading their audience.
Only five years late.
@1 – In case you hadn’t noticed, none of the news organizations are doing news reporting. The “news” is simply the raw material used by these organizations to support and promote their political agendas. They all stopped doing straight news decades ago. It doesn’t matter if you’re talking about Fox, CNN, MSNBC, the BBC, PBS or any other organization pretending to be a news outlet.
Tweet du jour:
Prepare for your next ass-fucking – and every ass-fucking come to think of it – by the government by silently repeating to yourself that it’s good for you.
Inflation Is Good for You
Lie back and enjoy it.
@ 1
…no longer refer to it as FOX “News” since they might conclude that was deliberately misleading their audience.
I am fine with this, as long as it’s applied to any interview ABC’s George Stephanopoulos does with a Democrat politician as well.
Fair is fair.
It’s their own fucking faults, really. Poor people have no business being on Mercer Island in the first place.
Get ready for the ass-pounding that First Vegetable Joe Biden’s inflation will create:
Democrats, enjoy the fruits of y’all’s labors as all that free money y’all have pumped into the system results in interest rate hikes just before the 2022 midterms.
We warned y’all. Hell, Joe Manchin warned y’all.
Just keep @ 4 repeating: Inflation is good for you.
2,
I don’t watch FOX.
So no, I hadn’t noticed any Italian CIA election plots, invisible Satanic cannibalistic pizza feasts, secret JOO SPACE LASERS, alleged midday finger bangs in the busiest public corridor in North America, Christmas Tree Cock Rings or tan suits.
Sorry. Keep fuckin’ that chicken. And never stop watching FOX.
Real America is counting on it.
TFG is holding on the other line with a power point presentation he’d like you to watch. Have you got a sec?
Producing a devastating collapse of Zoom-town second home prices.
Because every GenX/Millennial college grad deserves to work from home in a four season resort. Even if it means malnutrition for children of single moms.
@ 9
Have you got a sec?
No. Sold a long-dated naked put on Medtronic. Which is something Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit can never do, because he can’t come up with the cash if the shares are put to him.
Seriously, The Notadumbfuck Method contends that MDT is very attractive right now.
11,
What? What was that? Sorry.
I fell immediately to sleep after reading “Sold…”.
“I am so glad”
With omicron spreading like fire in dry brush in an Arizona summer, I’m sooo glad my neighbors aren’t germ-spreading hillbilly dumbfucks.
@2 This is to be expected from someone who can’t tell fact from fantasy, or news from fabrication. If you ever read a book or newspaper, you might become dangerous.
@3 What an idiot. I would’ve told them to buy Starbucks and Microsoft stock. (Amazon didn’t exist yet.)
@4 Another one of your “sources.”
“The Intercept is an American non-profit news organization founded by eBay co-founder Pierre Omidyar,” who is a screaming rightwinger.
“On August 15, 2014, U.S. National Counterintelligence Executive (NCE) William Evanina confirmed that the FBI is moving forward with a probe into how classified documents were leaked to The Intercept for its article revealing details about a database of terrorism suspects, which linked some people to terrorism even if they had no known association with any terrorism group. ‘It’s a criminal act that has us very concerned,’ said Evanina, a former FBI special agent with a counter-terrorism specialty who was appointed NCE by Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper in May 2014. In August 2014, it was reported that members of the U.S. military had been banned from reading The Intercept. … Politico notes that The Intercept has a tendency to write articles that speak negatively of Democrats.”
Which is why you slobber over it.
Nother!
From the pages of newzwhackos:
Presidential Historian Doug Wead Dies at 75
Heh. Before this joke of a scribbler stroked out, it oozed out a history of the orange menace’s deranged occupation of the office.. From Amazon reviews:
A friend of mine gave me this book. He’s a retired professor. He seems to support President Trump. I told him I’d read it. I was hopeful it would help me see the Trump presidency in a new light.
But the book is difficult to like or take seriously.
The writer, Doug Wead, is endlessly sycophantic. He fawns, he preens, he bootlicks his way through the narrative. He is endlessly servile, toadying, unctuous and smarmy. He “tells” the reader how wonderful the President is at every turn.
He praises his genius, his ability to “think outside the box,” his Svengali-like ability make deals with dictators and despots. He shows us very little. We, gentle reader, are supposed to simply believe and be glad as the glorious sun of the Trump-era finally brings light to a benighted republic. After enduring his ponderous prose, I felt one with nature. But not in a good way. I felt like seagulls, ducks, heron and otters felt as they dropped into the oil-calmed waves of Prince William Sound shortly after the Exxon Valdez ran aground.
Instantly sorry.
With fewer liars like this in the world, the future looks brighter and brighter for my kids every day!
The Intercept article linked @4 argues that inflation is “good” because it destroys debt. In effect, it transfers wealth from big corporations to indebted little people (like these).
Never mind that corporations are big borrowers. From whom? Bondholders, many of which are pension funds and retirees.
It also contends that wages “almost” keep up with inflation. Anybody who’s lived through a period of high inflation knows better.
And while inflation destroys debt, it also destroys savings. Doctor Dumbfuck’s, for example. He’s currently getting return on his hoarded cash equal to 1/68th the rate of inflation while waiting for a “pullback.”
I’ll tell you who inflation is good for: Republicans.
Democrats didn’t cause it, and Republicans have made it worse with their pandemic-promoting anti-health policies, and the Fed boss who’s been shoveling coal into the firebox is a Trump appointee, but never mind all that. Low-information voters don’t know the difference, will knee-jerk, and vote against the party in power.
Under the circumstances, it’s not surprising that a wingnut publication likes inflation.
And Doctor Dumbfuck undoubtedly likes that said wingnut publication has a rap sheet that includes publishing leaked classified government documents that paint innocent people as terrorists (something GWB’s “watch lists” did frequently, especially if they had a Muslim-y sounding name). He’s really into that sort of thing.
@7 It takes a real idiot to think Biden caused this inflation. I’m not yet convinced you actually believe that, but I believe you’re capable of it.

@11 MDT? Don’t own it. You’re right about me not having cash; I shoveled it into JNJ at $159.89 three weeks ago. What is it today? $172.90 last I looked. Sure glad I don’t have to gaze at your money market statements.
As the Jan. 6 committee comes into possession of more documents, texts, emails, etc., and this information gets released, we’re gaining a better understanding of why coup conspirator Jim Jordan didn’t want an investigation.
@11 Let’s examine this in detail. (a) Doctor Dumbfuck sold a naked put on MDT. He makes the put premium if MDT goes up; he gets creamed if it goes down below the strike price. (b) He then insinuates only a dumbfuck would think MDT will go up (i.e., is “very attractive right now”).
From this it appears Doctor Dumbfuck is doing exactly what he says a dumbfuck would do. It follows that even he thinks he’s a dumbfuck.

About once a month Dumbfuck quote-tweets GLLLENNNN!!!
who was fired from The Intercept over his escalating drug use.
The Meadows texts prove that while Capital police hero Michael Fanone was being beaten bloody by drug-crazed violent Trump supporters on the Capital steps, stripped of his body armor, and stabbed repeatedly in the neck with an illegally modified taser, Trump was refusing pleas from dozens of his colleagues to call off the mob.
He “appeared pleased”.
Doctor Dumbfuck’s “very attractive” stock dropped 2.6% today. Remember, he makes a modest profit if it goes up, and gets his ass handed to him if it goes down.
Meanwhile, I’m making money hand over fist. Many of my stocks are exploding upward. PG is up 10% this month, HSY 9.5%, MCD 8.6%; NVS is up 5.6% today, and even lowly T is up 7% today. I’m doing well, thank you. Doctor Dumbfuck makes 0.1% a year on his good days, i.e. when naked puts aren’t turning his capital into dogshit.
Wonder how many cases will be affected by Louisiana adopting unanimous jury verdicts. Interesting case here:
https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/32884797/man-killed-former-nfl-player-joe-mcknight-tried-again-murder-charge-appeals-court-rules
The jury had went George lesser included charge of Manslaughter. That verdict has since been overturned, and now the appeals court basically invoked Double Jeopardy on Murder 2.
28,
Fair and valid, constitutionally.
We all have rights. Among them are certain rights to due process in the event that the state decides to imperil our lives and freedom by accusing us of crimes.
It thus becomes exclusively a state burden to formulate and provide a legal criminal justice system that ensures due process. If the state could avoid that burden by simply fucking up, they could retry any one of us as often as they like and the right would be extinguished. Nevertheless, we still allow far too many “do-overs” for corrupt police, corrupt prosecutors, and incompetent judges.
@25
“He appeared pleased”
The only time during his presidency in which he was heard to laugh.

If Trump isn’t running, if he isn’t already the presumed, approved nominee in 2024, they why is the Republican National Committee continuing to pay all of Trump’s ongoing legal bills?
Trump/Lindell, Trump/Hannity, Trump/DeSantis, 2024
He’s so running.
29)The Law of unintended consequences, but it showed another flaw of the old system. Louisiana prosecutors loved the old system when they got convictions with less than a unanimous verdict.Probably going to be more cases like the one I highlighted. Best part of our system is double jeopardy.
31)Hannity called his an unplanned one. Sounds familiar.
