I'm starting to develop a crush on Bolt, a completely fictional news mannequin with a drinking problem. And here I thought my taste in men had improved!
Roy, you hit it out of the park with Peoni's dress -- mumsy and overpriced. Not sure the platforms go with it, but as she slides into alcohol-induced dementia, she likely spends much of her time thinking she's back in her heyday of the 70s/80s.
"DOYENNE: Yes! And was Alcatraz a concentration camp? And you wonder why people think the media is liberal biased.
UPRIGHT: They still think that, do they?"
I came really close to cracking up with that. Still amuses me no end how a conservative slur aka lie is treated as a fact and reality. Not there isn't about a tenth of a crumb of truth behind it -- there's a whiff of liberalism to criticizing the Vietnam war or endorsing to any degree racial equality despite the nation's heritage and hounding Nixon out of office even if it was a deep state project at the core* -- but still.
I mean, shee-it, anyone who buys that liberal media BS is obviously clueless.
(*Sounds crazy. My basis in addition to being a dotard is that Woodward was IC-adjacent during his college years in some way I'm too lazy to look up (also, his subsequent career is chock full of sketchy sources); Deep Throat was Mark Felt, who was very sad over Tricky Dick not appointing him FBI director. And given the relationship between the CIA and Wall Street, well, you can see the Powers That Be were cool with Nixon being hounded out of office.
Not sure that that’s what they had in mind when they developed the slur.
Also doesn’t change the situation where there’s approximately nothing in the media accused of being liberal that’s actually liberal in any meaningful way.
Thanks so much for this! The transformation of Bolt Upright into Slab Punchfist, Cap'n America cosplayer punching NAZIs, is the media we need right now. Unfortunately, Paramount bribing the Fat-fingered Vulgarian is both what we deserve and what we got.
We used to have some neighbors, a bunch of 20-something dudes, who had one of those ballcrusher trucks with the word UNCHAINED spelled out in chain on clear lucite affixed to the back. We called them the Meatnecks: Slab Meatneck, Clod Meatneck, Lump Meatneck. They were interchangeable. Unsurprisingly, the truck had a NO FAT CHICKS sticker.
Well, he was wearing a nice bland linen suit and probably saw it in the mirror and thought, "I need to liven this up!" The shirt (which I don't hate) didn't seem out of keeping with the ensemble to him because it's expensive.
I second the kudos for Bolt nuttin’ up. Meanwhile, I’m so old I once took care of a patient who had played in John Philip Sousa’s band. He was pulled over by a cop for riding his motorcycle through a park when he was 100 years old, got depressed and came down with pneumonia.
"...because we don’t want any of what CBS News just got, let’s repeat the President’s cute names for these things..."
That, and whip-wielding cartoon Donald Trump out of the way, it's satisfying to see Bolt commit some journalism by getting the contents of the bounty hunter's wallet.
I’ve been meaning to say, I like how the header image of Received Opinion pieces is fuzzy and yellow, signifying both Yellow Journalism and that the viewer has suffered a concussion.
"Garcia’s suit describes how he was tortured in the foreign prison to which Noem sent him. We have yet to receive Noem’s or the President’s bone-chilling response to these allegations."
I've probably said this before so forgive me, but to me, Trump has all the opinionated ignorance and imbecility of caller to a right-wing talk show -- which is what he did for years well before and during his first term in office. Any of his rambling press conference comments can be easily imagined as beginning with the words "Yeah this is Donnie from Queens. Listen, Sean, here's what I would do...". Since the most benighted 31% of our electorate and the Bullet Deflecting Hand of the Lord has made him Supreme Leader again his ugly id is completely unleashed. Now that he's publicly dropping f-bombs and promising to deport actual citizens I wouldn't be surprised when a reporter asks about the torture of Abrego Garcia if he says something like -- "And he should be tortured. He should be tortured. He's an illegal. A terrible person with MS-13 tattooed on his fist. They should all be tortured the likes of which they've never seen before. And I'm the one who's gonna finally have the balls to do it."
Then he'll hawk some crypto and his bottled Trump fragrances and we're right back to the hallucination we're all having.
Earlier, in the shower I was thinking -how hard could it be to dose him with LSD? I don't know if it would help. We're so used to his jibber jabber he could be tripping balls and saying whatever the fuck crazy shit and no one would really notice.
He looks bad. He's starting to match the portrait in the attic. I don't think this lasts much past him.
"Past him" is Terra Incognita. The foundation of his power is his bond with the (formerly) Republican base. Not even Reagan had boat parades and flags. But there's a lotta armchair diagnosis out there. Mary Trump helpfully pointed out his father Fred started showing dementia in his late 70's, so that tracks. Republicans will prop him up as long as they can because while there's lots of replacements waiting, none of them can do that voodoo, and they have no other plan but that.
I'm still kind of astonished how he's willing to allow all the important decisions to be made by Stephen Miller, Russell Vought and RFK Jr. Is that a sign of dementia or just pure laziness?
All depends on how you define "important". Trump only cares about money and the greater glory of Donald Trump, and having those 3 manage the boring implementation details frees him up to pursue his passions. Note there's very little overlap between the spheres of influence there. They all learned that if you pitch yourself serving the greater glory of Trump first and foremost he'll go along. Like Leibowitz's famous comment about Trump being "stupid", he's "lazy" if you don't understand what he cares about. As far as dementia, how could we tell?
But it's so much more than "boring implementation details", isn't it? Trump ran on promises of an immigration crackdown, extending it to farm workers and hotel workers and guys at Home Depot - things that have already caused a pretty major shift in public opinion against him on the issue - are all Stephen Miller. Given the slavish devotion of his idiot supporters, one video of a dozen brown-skinned men being thrown in a van played on repeat for four years would have done it for him, if he goes farther it's not for his greater glory, it's to feed Millers obsessive hatreds.
Same with cuts to the VA, the weather service, air traffic control, FEMA, other essential services sure to be (eventually) noticed by the public. Good for Russell Vought, but when the effects are felt it will be Donald Trump who gets the blame because nobody knows who Russell Vought is. If all he cares about is grifting, why not do what every Republican has done, talk about taking a chainsaw to the government and then quietly pass continuing resolutions that leave it all essentially unchanged?
Trump's no ideologue - that would require caring about something other than himself - but he's handed his presidency over to ideologues, and when the effects are felt they won't redound to the benefit of Donald Trump.
Fiercly loyal idealogues, loyal because this is the chance of a lifetime to make their dreams come true, and because fierce loyalty was the price of admission. Miller could have just scheduled regular media events for Trump to watch but he went all in. I do wonder how much of it was Trump leaning on him to deliver on his promises. He does love his Promises Made, Promises Kept tag line.
Vought probably made a consultants pitch to handle the minutia of government while meeting Trump's goal of retribution and cleaning up wastefraudandabuse. Trump is probably happy to ignore it beyond the odd briefings. It doesn't tickle the buttons that immigration does, and Trump knows and understands what his base wants.
How much of all this "rebounds" on Trump is an open question. Apparantly the nastiest cuts are timed for after the midterms. My money is on some kind of "emergency" declaration to postpone elections in 2028.
Worked for Volodymyr. Might even have given Herr Ketchupflingher the idea. And having set up the entirety of the MAGAnization as a steaming pile of pouting snowflakes, he could make 'em believe that first Tuesdays in November are the work of the horned one, and therefor banish-ed.
Now I think saying he's a grifter who only cares about himself and how much he can steal is being too generous. He's a sadist. He enjoys seeing people hurt, especially when they're being hurt on his orders. Immigrants being hurt, government workers being hurt. He may even enjoy it when his own voters are hurt and there's no FEMA to help them. No, he does care about other people to the extent that he wants them to suffer, he wants to see their suffering, and he wants to have that warm feeling he gets from knowing he caused it. And if the people suffering are his people, and continue to abase themselves before him even as he hurts then, God does he love that most of all.
If "all the important decisions"are things other than grifting, he does what he's always done: delegate the tasks to loyal fixers. As architects of the restoration, Miller and Vought are as much as co-presidents. RFK was brought in to hook the conspirituality crowd, but his eugenics bona fides make him a keeper.
Even if he tried reaching out to a "moderate" in 2016, it was part of a lifelong pattern when Trump offered John Kasich the VP slot. Kasich was told he'd be in charge of "domestic and foreign policy," while Trump would be "in charge of making America great again." https://www.vox.com/2016/7/20/12235380/trump-kasich-most-powerful-vp
See, that would have been smart. His idiot followers don't actually expect or demand anything from him. Just him being President and saying mean things about liberals on Twitter is enough to bring them to mass orgasm. They don't care if the budget is balanced, or if taxes go up or down, or if the economy goes into the toilet, as long as Donald Trump is in the White House. Put the whole thing on autopilot, this year's budget is a Xerox of last years, who would even notice? Deport as many people as Biden and Obama and just claim it's ten times as many, who would check?
Any luck we had the first go round was because of something like this, as well as their incompetence. Plus, a functioning civil service kept nearly everything going (maybe, a little like a positive form of autopilot). Miller and Vought are there to demolish the machinery other than what they turn toward enforcing white supremacy.
The only reason Schitzenführer "reaches out" to the opposition is that one of the greatest things in his life is to have some ex-liberal/ former enemy grovel before him.
Yeah, why can't we be nicer to the people who call us "traitors" and "terrorists" and use their macho Orwellian jerkoff names for things? Why do we always have to be so goshdarn rude? After all it's hardened cannabalistic baby murderers who will go to Gator Gulag, and who are we to question any of it?
Oh, I manipulate people for my own benefit, force twisted philosophies on them, then abandon them. You know, typical liberal stuff. It's CERTAINLY not like I have any empathy, pfffft 🧐
I stand corrected on sphere of operations. DOJ for when you want to break institutions and targeted groups or individuals. When it's a financial shakedown, someone is there to get his beak moistened.
I'm starting to develop a crush on Bolt, a completely fictional news mannequin with a drinking problem. And here I thought my taste in men had improved!
Roy, you hit it out of the park with Peoni's dress -- mumsy and overpriced. Not sure the platforms go with it, but as she slides into alcohol-induced dementia, she likely spends much of her time thinking she's back in her heyday of the 70s/80s.
I just like those shoes.
Me too! Not practical for my woods-and-trails lifestyle these days, but I've always dreamed of being able to reach things on the upper shelves.
And 2 for you too!
Best line of the day. 2 marks!
„Mumsy“? I love it
Is that a *clothesline* tied around her waist? What look is she going for, Little Soused On The Prairie?
LOL!!
Now there's a show I'd watch.
I’ll take you to Jake’s Lounge in my hometown sometime.
I accept! Actually, this brings to mind a dive bar I visited in rural Wisconsin called The Quiet Forest. It was neither.
THREE marks!
I always check out the wardrobe. I have no idea how Roy finds this stuff. The Prada Hawaiian shirt page is hilarious.
I suspect it's the highlight of Roy's week to comb the Internet for wardrobe.
It's the very embodiment of "Why does your mother dress you funny?"
"DOYENNE: Yes! And was Alcatraz a concentration camp? And you wonder why people think the media is liberal biased.
UPRIGHT: They still think that, do they?"
I came really close to cracking up with that. Still amuses me no end how a conservative slur aka lie is treated as a fact and reality. Not there isn't about a tenth of a crumb of truth behind it -- there's a whiff of liberalism to criticizing the Vietnam war or endorsing to any degree racial equality despite the nation's heritage and hounding Nixon out of office even if it was a deep state project at the core* -- but still.
I mean, shee-it, anyone who buys that liberal media BS is obviously clueless.
(*Sounds crazy. My basis in addition to being a dotard is that Woodward was IC-adjacent during his college years in some way I'm too lazy to look up (also, his subsequent career is chock full of sketchy sources); Deep Throat was Mark Felt, who was very sad over Tricky Dick not appointing him FBI director. And given the relationship between the CIA and Wall Street, well, you can see the Powers That Be were cool with Nixon being hounded out of office.
Woodward was IC when he was in the Navy.
I recalled the Navy thing but not where it fit.
An arguable life long IC asset.
But what if - and hear me out here - we define "Liberal media" as "Media subscribed-to by liberals"? Then it works, doesn't it?
The word "liberal" just looks nice before the word "media."
I like how you can run it all together into one word: librulmedia. Like pliticalcorreckness. It scans!
By golly it does.
Not sure that that’s what they had in mind when they developed the slur.
Also doesn’t change the situation where there’s approximately nothing in the media accused of being liberal that’s actually liberal in any meaningful way.
Reality may have a liberal bias, but ref working can take care of that.
Through all the years of branding, I guess we were lucky the strong-arming did not yet involve "donations" to a "presidential library."
Did I appreciate the relative lack of corruption in the first and second Bush administrations? I did not!
They actually tried to cover up the torture. You're supposed to brag about it.
It also works to just ignore whatever reality is inconvenient and make shit up to replace it, c.f. FAUX News.
I assume a career of having to cover the real world would tend to shift your politics leftwards.
Imagine that! Journalists opening their eyes and facing the real world.
Thanks so much for this! The transformation of Bolt Upright into Slab Punchfist, Cap'n America cosplayer punching NAZIs, is the media we need right now. Unfortunately, Paramount bribing the Fat-fingered Vulgarian is both what we deserve and what we got.

I rather like the shirt, but the outfit at the site ... my God.

Totally OT: At the store I see Selena Gomez flavored Oreos. How could I be sure? I'm all in for a taste test comparison....
Perhaps not OT at all. I can sense the DOJ is about to sue Nabisco over DEI Oreos.
Think he'd rather "make a deal" that makes Mondelez International give Nabisco to MAGA (once he's taken his cut, of course)
I stand corrected on sphere of operations. DOJ for when you want to break institutions and targeted groups or individuals. When it's a financial shakedown, someone is there to get his beak moistened.
I like to twist them open and lick their creamy centers. I'm sorry, what were we talking about again?

I'm fairly confident there's some pink in there somewhere.
