That's funny, I'm doin' my own Biden Watch, just this past coupla weeks I added student loan relief, Civilian Climate Corps and White House Office of Gun Safety. I'm sure the same items appear on their list.

No Biden Watch for me! No sir, I still have my Spiro Agnew Watch!

I have a new favorite song.

Of all the amazin' phrasin' it's "bloody brawls in breadlines" that wins the day.

2 marks!

I'm picturing it like the Batley Townswomen's Guild's re-enactment of the Battle of Pearl Harbor.

Bloody brawls in breadlines

And then stealing that chow

Nice work if you can get it

And if you get it

Won't you tell me how

Expand full comment

Just imagine some one loaf upon the baker’s floor

When the bloody brawl’s done, who could ask for anymore gore

A translator who loves alliteration in verse & in swear words, I see Frère Bern's 2 marks & raise u another two marks.

My condolences, boss, for wading through this batshit babyshit of a bitch's fit...

Expand full comment

Speaking of alliteration, there's also Famine Fighter, because even feeding hungry people must be overladen with imaginary violence. Maybe UNICEF could try this approach? Ditch the images of starving children, that stuff just works on liberals. "Donate NOW and punch Famine in the NUTS!" [cue video of guy with "Famine" t-shirt doubling over in pain]

If Roy used more of this literary device, he could TRIPLE his revenue!!! See my blog for more info before IT"S TOO LATE!!!!!

Not just a trick, it's ONE WEIRD TRICK!

It's that kind of artful alliteration that really gets 'em.

Respectfully disagree. "dying in a closet full of mac 'n' cheese" is the one. Among many!

"The end of society was near when quite accidentally

A 'hero' whose sleaze abruptly seized defeat and returned it to victory. . ."

Expand full comment

"State of the art patented double-oxygen-shield technology" and “electroponics” are really good techno-babble that sound almost real. "Final Famine: How to Keep Your Family Fat and Happy While The World Starves" is choice, too.

Expand full comment

Well done, Roy.

About midway through reading, I suddenly imagined this pitch being given by Stefon, the club kid character Bill Hader did on SNL:

“This disaster scenario has EVERYTHING…a deadly domino effect, a full government shutdown, Chinese spies, Deuteronomy, stockpiles of overpriced mac ‘n cheese, three feet of copper wire, and lots and lots of schadenfreude.”

WHAT IS THE THREE FEET OF COPPER WIRE FOR

Expand full comment

You, too, can discover the answer to this question for the low, low price of $1,499.00!

Expand full comment

Coil it around yourself and spin near a magnet to generate your own electric current!

Expand full comment

Tinfoil lets through too much of the mind-control waves. Needs to be reinforced with copper wire.

Expand full comment

Actually dreamt last night about rescuing everyone in our building on floors 9 thru 11. Emergency happened. We elites on the top floors were cut off from the elevators and stairs. Everyone looked to me, because they knew I had AT LEAST 3ft of copper wire.

I did a quick inventory, and found (in addition to the wire):

2 - boiled eggs

1 - 100ft rope ladder

I ate the eggs because they don't travel well. Then I hooked the upper end of the ladder over the window sill and gently unrolled it all the way to the ground. Everyone clambered out and down one at a time (me first, to show them all how, then women and children, and finally all the expendable deplorables). Saved 81 people.

Needless to say, the copper wire was brilliant!

Expand full comment

You guys laugh, but after a monster EMP is detonated over the US by the ChiComs, me investing my retirement fund in a warehouse full of mac’n’cheese will seem pretty smart.

Expand full comment

Did you get much water to make the mac 'n cheese? and do you like it unheated?

Expand full comment

What would I need water and heat for? I’ve already got enough food for years!

Sorry Teddy, but when it comes to food buckets, there’s only one choice.

The End Times will always be with us. How will the preppers and survivalists ever find the room for yet more Doomsday Rations? After all, if you've been following this stuff, you stocked up

In 1999 for the Y2K

In 2000 for the inevitable election of Al Gore

In 2001 because of 9-11

In 2002 because of the invasion of Afghanistan

In 2003 because of the invasion of Iraq

In 2004 because Kerry might have won

In 2007 because the economy was crashing

In 2008 because Obama

In 2009 because Obama, and in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015

In 2016 because Hitlery was going to be president

In 2017 because liberals were going to riot

In 2018 because Antifa

In 2019 because BLM

In 2020 because covid

In 2021 because Biden

In 2022 because Ukraine

And now this guy telling you the ChiComs are coming! Gotta build a backyard multi-story warehouse for all the survival rations. Indeed, now that I've run out of money and can't afford food (thanks, Biden!), I can start chewing through the 60 years of rations I have stockpiled. Now where did I put that can opener?

Expand full comment

The one survival trick I learned from Youtube is that if you take a can of tuna, turn it upside down and then rub back and forth on a piece of concrete for an unspecified amount of time, it will open the can without a can opener. Now I just need to get over my dislike of canned tuna.

And get over your dislike of grit in your canned goods.

Quit holding out, Roy: what is the copper wire for?!?

He never tells you! Man's a genius

Expand full comment

It lets you make a shit-ton of copper bracelets for all the arthritis cases in the doomsday bunker.

You use it to make your own IUDs. No sense in reproducing until the crisis has passed, but a man still needs to fuck, right?

The pitch is for old guys who already have roll of copper wire in the garage, SOMEWHERE DAMMIT, so they feel like they're already like 90% of the way there. Got the wire, might as well go all the way!

Expand full comment

For a mere $999, I will send you both the copper wire and instructions.

Expand full comment

Government agents, who have just broken into your house to steal your stockpile and hand it out to The Blacks, finding a roll of copper wire hanging from the door handle to the closet: "Damn! He knows about the copper wire trick! Thwarted again!"

Expand full comment

Executive Order 13603 makes it legal for the SS to take everything you own BUT a little-known codicil inserted by a True Patriot(TM) says "void if victim has 3 ft of copper wire tied to doorknob."

Expand full comment

There was something like that in the Bible.

Expand full comment

I just sprinkle a teaspoon of myrrh across my threshold, no government agents so far.

Expand full comment

Clinically Proven!

But which brand of myrrh? I'm afraid there's tracking devices and/or vaccine in it.

This is like the "necktie on the doorknob" rule of dorm living

Are you okay, Roy? Covid, I mean, not just today’s post which obviously required going dangerously -- unhealthily -- deep.

But, I’ll confess. I clicked on the link to Mckeaney’s (sp.; no interest in checking the spelling) truth bomb. Just on the off chance, what with tending to be delusional, the odds of a truth containing any facts or, well, truth we’re very, very low, of course.

I gotta confess. Between the linked piece and Roy’s post, I’m going to sign up for emails from the site.

Roy took the half empty POV, I’m going to go with half full. That is, I’ll read it as a satire, wittingly or not.

Expand full comment

Even better: I now see that they either don’t have an email sign up thing or I just can’t find it. So I’ll stick with the RSS feed and don’t have to worry about an email address being sold and/or dealing with the effects of any trackers.

Expand full comment

That feed is literally dailydeplorable dot com and if you go there they will welcome you

Expand full comment

As I said, I may well have missed something. OTOH, the RSS feed is safer.

The attraction is that I really, really missed during the prior administration something like Mrs. Agnew’s Diary. DD might fill that hole in my life.

Expand full comment

Spiggy!

Expand full comment

Ah, Spiggy, we hardly knew ye, yet knew you too well.

Expand full comment

You make the insanity so entertaining. Many thanks for that. I love when they lie their asses off about something that actually exists, in this case Executive Order 13603. If the bullshit is so thickly laid on with a trowel, why bother using an actual thing? They can just as easily frighten grandpa about Executive Order 12345-67, or the Biden Death To White People Edict No. 52, or Jade Helm 2.0 This Time It's Personal, or anything kiester-spelunked by Super Patriot gold/silver/food hawker no. 12.

Expand full comment

Good point. Maybe they figure a sliver of truth will pull in the slightly more diligent geezer in because that EO will come up in a Bing search.

Expand full comment

A long-ago fuckbuddy gone QAnon sent me a breathless account of how Bill Gates and Doc Fauci had developed and patented RFID technology when they were roomies at Cornell, and that this was the basis for the tracking nanoparticles in the “plandemic” so-called vaccine. She even provided the patent number. Well, leaving aside the fact that Cornell bestowed his medical degree on Dr. F in May 1966, at which time young Master Gates was not yet in sixth grade, the patent number was for something else entirely. You’d think a retired attorney might be acquainted with the concept of “due diligence,” but Q has apparently eaten her brain.

Maybe I’ll have an intermediary send her this link. She and her husband fled Communist California a couple of years ago and are now living, according to her daughter, in something resembling a fortified compound in one of the redder precincts of Missouri. Sounds like the target demographic to me…

Or, as the RW yacketer in the Minion Death Cult intro puts it, "Fascistfornia".

Don't Californicate Missouri!

Note: Young Master Gates went on, famously, to attend and then drop out of Harvard. I find myself more and more doubting the credibility of your friend.

My wife went to Cornell, lately she's been reminding me to get the Vax [eyes narrow in suspicion]

What is also a great comical touch is the pitchman claiming to be on the Deep State's kill list. You can't just go blabbing secret information about shelves of Skippy peanut butter and copper wire on the internet and expect to die in your bed, you know.

I wonder if they'll send the same commandoes after him who are allegedly trying to kill Scott Adams, the Dilbert guy. It must be an elite, highly trained squad using top secret Grift Detectors to locate their targets.

Expand full comment

He's on the list with Adams, Russell Brand, and Alex Jones.

"It must be an elite, highly trained squad"

It stands to reason that the liberal elites would have an elite hit squad...

Expand full comment

Personally, my hope is to be annihilated in the apocalypse as opposed to surviving to live in some Mad Max hellscape where Mel Gibson is the good guy again. Especially if you have to eat that survivalist crap that tastes like salted cardboard with sawdust gravy. Ugh.

Expand full comment

My favorite part of the whole pitch is that you know the thing they care about the most is does this stuff taste good.

Expand full comment

Hey, didn't you see the part where he does chef's kiss? You can't do that for just any food, they got rules about these things.

Expand full comment

I spent $1499 for QAnon cooking school, but all I got was this "Kiss The Chef" apron.

Expand full comment

Has anybody kissed you yet?

Expand full comment

Weirdly, no. Perhaps it's because whenever I wear it some guy keeps showing up and hanging around. Calls himself Jose´ Andre´s. The apron is like a magnet to this guy!

-time flies when you’re decompensating-

Not only is this a really solid laugh line, it points the way

to a path out of this mess. Drug companies are doing massive amounts of research on microdosing LSD

to treat anxiety and depression. It's a perfect product for them - it costs absolutely nothing and seems to work pretty well.

It'll work just like Oxycontin and legal weed- Memaw gets a script every month and sells it to her kids and grandkids. She can buy groceries, and the kids get to trip balls. And you know Meemaw and Papaw are bound to try it at least once - before you know it they'll be laughing at this Hardcore nonsense just like we do.

Another thought - why do these guys want to drag around huge satchels of money ( ideally gold bars) through a post-apocalyptic hellscape? Money seems really stupid in that scenario.

The satchels of money and gold bars are for interacting with Bob Menendez, should they meet him.

I was thinking it might be Biden crony Mitt Romney coming at you with a sensible health care plan, a Book of Mormon, and 40 years of gut-busting behind-the-scenes Senate bloopers.

Expand full comment

I'm kind of surprised he went with "cronies" rather than the obvious "thugs." Cronies are the people who give you free vacations in Bermuda, so Gramps might actually be pleased to see one show up. Thugs, on the other hand, are, you know... Those People.

Honestly, nothing more terrifying than opening my front door and finding Rahm Emmanuel.

"Cronies" is in the hardcore lexicon. It means Biden knows people in Warshinton, which is treason.

I think it’s time to invest in gold coins from the Philadelphia Mint. For a limited time only, you can get a 14 carrot gold plated replica of a Donald Trump presidential portrait, straight from his former cover as man of the year from Time Magazine.

On the back is a beautiful picture of Melania wearing her one of a kind jacket that says, “I really don’t care, Do U?”

Act now, and we’ll send you an additional photo of Melania’s new $180k NFT (signed by Barron). And if that’s not enough, we’ll include an entire audio set of Trump’s real estate course from Trump University. Originally, a $5k value, but you get all this for the low, low bargain price of $49.99!

Folks, never again will you have an opportunity to own a Trump coin and real estate course for this price. And given that we have a useless, and deranged octogenarian, who illegally inhabits the Whitehouse, it’s time to act now. And make no mistake, this crooked charlatan could possibly win again, I mean steal the election again; so this may be the last time to own a piece of our greatest president ever: memorabilia collection.

So act now, quantities are limited, and these coins are literally selling themselves.......I kid you not!....:)
