...to FASCISTS, TRUTHS are ALWAYS LIES.
Meanwhile, as I sort through another hundred plus headlines, my usual excerpts from THE SHOWER CAP BLOG:
Weeks Deep In a Litter Box Hoax, You’re So Nuts You Got Banned From Newsmax? I’m Honestly Impressed. - Shower Cap Blog
excerpts part one:
... admittedly Republican **** has been accelerating at an absolutely ungoddamnsettling rate. They’re really ****’ going for it, the fascist little creeps. One poll goes their way, they get reeeeeeal cocky. Suddenly these platform-averse lightweights can’t stop bragging about their revanchist plans.
It’s not so much a coherent doctrine as a manifesto smeared on the walls in crap.
They’re gonna pass a national “don’t say gay” law and hand Ukraine to Putin gift-wrapped and put Fauci on trial and kick Democrats off their committees and then they’re going to make it illegal for Ivermectin to not cure Covid and once that’s all wrapped up, America won’t have any problems at all... prosperity forever CHECKMATE LIBTARDS!
Oh, and we can’t forget the debt ceiling. Either Democrats agree to draconian cuts to the safety net, or McCarthy’s gang of incontinent howler monkeys blows up the global economy. I guess we’re pretending there’s some MAGA mandate for Paul Ryan-style austerity? I wouldn’t do that, fellas. If you really wanna try replacing your base’s health insurance with the Hunter Biden’s Laptop Variety Hour, just remember: you’re also the ones that sold them the torches and pitchforks.
Anyway, you better give Marjorie Taylor Greene a really fancy uniform, Kev, with tassels and shiny buttons, oh, and POWER, too, lots of it, or you’ll be sorry. Let’s quote her directly:
“I think that to be the best speaker of the House and to please the base, he’s going to give me a lot of power and a lot of leeway, and if he doesn’t, they’re going to be very unhappy about it.”
Ah, the not-particularly-thinly-veiled threat of mob violence.
Wonder where she picked up that trick? Nuthin’ “semi-“ about that, folks. That is a bona fide American fascist, and her star is on the rise.

excerpts part two:
Speaking of Kanye, there’s nothing quite like the wingnut grifter feeding frenzy that descends on a mentally ill rich dude who loses his Twitter account for hate speech. For the eminently reasonable investment of a couple of tacky t-shirts, Candace Owens bailed out her husband’s somehow-even-crappier-than-Truth-Social online bigot gathering hole…anyway, the line to pick this asshat’s pocket forms to the left.
Boy, if there’s anyone anywhere who is decisively not impressive enough to talk about himself in third person, it’s Utah Senator Mike Lee, but there’s a lot of unearned self-confidence in the Republican Party these days, I suppose.
Somehow, despite deploying sophisticated tactics like “pitching a fit at your own witness,” John Durham lost his pathetic excuse for a case, to the consternation of the seething resentment cult that expected him to have Hillary Clinton in irons by now.
JFK Jr.’s not coming back either, sorry. It’s hard on their poor, little minds, because the law’s so different here in the real world than it is in the shows they watch on teevee. The…news shows.
Like, there’re people who watched or heard Joe Rogan and Tulsi Gabbard jabber about furry kid litter boxes, and walked away believing they’d gained valuable information about the world around them.
I would be mad if they had kids **** in litter boxes, too. But that’s not actually happening. So.
I’d be super mad if I thought the Democratic Party was a sinister cabal that trafficked children for satanic rituals, but believing that is like believing Duck Tales is a documentary show.
I can only imagine how furious I’d be if I believed half the shrieking **** clogging up Lara Logan’s brain. She got banned from Newsmax, folks.
BANNED from NEWSMAX. That’s like getting kicked out of a Mike Lindell sex party for being too creepy.
Anyway, the great thing about made-up problems is they can lessen or worsen or disappear completely, depending on the needs of the moment.
Should these bastards take power, they’ll run for re-election swearing they made America great again, cuz you never hear about kids **** in litter boxes anymore.

Instead of my usual excerpts from THE SHOWER CAP BLOG, excerpts from former President Barack Obama's NO NONSENSE take down of yet ANOTHER FAR RIGHT GRIFTER looking to line the pockets of the filthy rich while **** AMERICANS. Like ALL MAGAS HAVE DONE.
From Mediaite: Obama Goes Nuclear on Ron Johnson Over Social Security at Wisconsin Rally: ‘He Should Not Be Your Senator!’
excerpts:
From Mediaite: Obama Goes Nuclear on Ron Johnson Over Social Security at Wisconsin Rally: ‘He Should Not Be Your Senator!’
excerpts:
Ron Johnson, as a senator, helped give millions of dollars in tax deductions to some of the biggest donors that funded his campaign.
And after he voted for for a tax plan that allows people to write off the costs of private planes– I’ve been trying to get this thing closed since I was president.
If you can afford a private plane, then you don’t need a tax break! But no, he fought for this.
And then his adult children bought, not one, not two, but three private planes, because apparently carpooling was not an option.
(DAMN I miss this man.)Meanwhile, Senator Johnson voted to raise the retirement age to 70,
supported a plan that would put Social Security and Medicare on the chopping block every single year.
Each year you’d have to vote to renew this thing.
I mean, think about it, because Washington works so well that you want your Social Security and Medicare reliant on Congress every year.
He’s called Social Security a Ponzi scheme, said that it’s candy that the left is giving it away.
The point is, some of you here are on Social Security. Some of your parents are on Social Security. Some of your grandparents are on Social Security.
You know why they have Social Security?
Because they worked for it. They worked hard jobs for it. They have chapped hands for it.
They have long hours and sore backs and bad knees to get that Social Security!
And if Ron Johnson does not understand that, if he understands giving tax breaks for private planes more than he understands making sure that seniors who’ve worked all their lives are able to retire with dignity and respect, he’s not the person who is thinking about you, and knows you, and sees you,
and he should not be your senator from Wisconsin!

While sorting thru a hundred or so newer ...developments... to talk about in a generalkind of way, here are some excerpts from the latest Shower Cap Blog: titled "The One Where the Guy Tries to Kill Nancy Pelosi With a Hammer"
excerpts:
So, turns out, when you spend a couple years driving folks violently insane with persecution fantasies, your politics turn a bit screwy. In a lot of ways, it’s surprising it took us this long to arrive at the Hammer-Wielding Assassin phase of the show.
But we’re there, folks. Masked maniacs in tactical gear menacing voters in Arizona.
Election policy succumbing to the demented demands of conspiracy theorists in a rural Republican community in Nevada.
Election offices hemorrhaging staff under a bombardment of harassment and nuisance requests.
Fast-congealing plans to use the coming results in Pennsylvania to test-drive new attacks on the election system, as MAGA gears up for the big one in 2024.
Basically, the mewling white resentment cult we call the Republican Party has declared open season on democracy, and now we get to find out how many furious weirdos answer the call this time ‘round, wheeeeee. I wonder what silly costumes they’ll wear as they attempt to murder us with whatever household tool or small appliance happens to be nearest at the moment their brain finally breaks.
God knows Paul Gosar’s ready to boogaloo. Lookit the way he lights up at the mere mention of shooting immigrants. Nothing semi- ‘bout Congressman Szell, friends.
Feels like it should be a bigger story, doesn’t it?
“Oh Cap, that’s just how Republicans are nowadays, they’re angry and racist and growing more authoritarian by the dang minute and they spend their time daydreaming about violence.”
I suppose you’re right; I guess I’m just attached to the old-fashioned notion that every single step these freaks and losers take towards fascism deserves to be front page news.
Like, when Kanye showed up to the picnic unexpectedly bearing a tuna casserole and Stormfront-level anti-Semitism, they slid him into the conga line without missing a beat or making a fuss.
(Watching the Pelosi story unfold while I draft this post. Hammer Dork spent his life in the wingnut disinformation bubble, you say? Hours flinging all the latest lies around Facebook, you say? Huh.)

As USUAL, while I'm sorting through the latest batch of developments in TRUMP'S FASCIST AMERICA, I'll offer up thIS latest from the SHOWERCAP BLOG. Though, in the last day before the midterms I'll probably be putting most of MY effort into posting in a venue(s) that HASN'T sought to MUZZLE uncomfortable TRUTHS by BARRING MY CREATING NEW TOPICS, and otherwise hobbling my ability to navigate the forum. And one that undoubtedly has a mach larger audience anyway.
More Songs About Cat Litter and Violence - Shower Cap's Blog
excerpts:
Hey folks, who wants to chuckle nervously as the clock ticks down to the **** midterm election of our lifetime? Happening Here Bingo was a lot more fun back when everybody didn’t black out their card every single week.
The Republican Candidate Refuses to Agree to Accept Election Results square is free, of course. The Election Officials Getting Death Threats square is free. And so is the Terrorist Attack on a Venue That Hosted a Drag Queen Event square, and I guess nobody gets too excited anymore when the caller shouts, “Democratic Candidate Assaulted Outside His Own Home.”
And that’s just the background noise. A single paragraph’s unwieldy bingo metaphor. We’re in the last days of an election cycle, parties and candidates are making their final pitches, and the MAGA GOP’s closing argument is pretty goddamn gross, friends: authoritarianism, anti-Semitism, and big, big lies.
Lies about everything. Lies about basically inconsequential ****, and lies about the most important **** in the world. Lies designed to drive people violently insane, and whenever somebody snaps, and, say, assaults the Speaker of the House’s husband with a hammer, lies about the very victims of their massive, sustained campaign of lies, because we’ve arrived at the Wallowing Gleefully in Our Obscenity stage of this thing.
Healthy stuff, in other words.
Well, the Elon Musk era of Twitter launched on the entirely predictable wave of hate speech, followed by the entirely predictable advertiser and user exodus, followed by the entirely predictable manchild meltdown.
Elon. Buddy. You built that, bro. You and you alone. As your expensive new toy erupted with slurs, what did you do? You let the world know, in no uncertain terms, that the new boss, a genius, filters information exactly as well as that one kid from high school in your Facebook feed who periodically brags that she’s about to meet JFK Jr.
Your First Amendment rights are intact, kiddo, it’s just that there’s little economic benefit in sponsoring your credulous platforming of a Weekly World News-level hoax about the Pelosi attack.
Get your ad revenue out of the drooling maniacs you’re so eager to serve, Mr. Free Speech Champion; that’s how the market works.
Incidentally, I don’t know that the American Right is gonna get a clearer off-ramp than Conspiracy-Addled Asshat Attempts House Speaker’s Assassination, but since taking it would require a thimbleful of decency, they’re opting for another lurch towards fascism instead.
Yeah, that “family values” party sure does find it hilarious that one of their dutifully indoctrinated drones assaulted an 82-year-old man in his home.
The gags aren’t particularly funny, but they don’t need to be, when the point is reveling in your power to inflict harm.

DEMOCRATS CONTROL THE SENATE - HOUSE STILL UP FOR GRABS. SO MUCH FOR THE MAGA WAVE 
MEANWHILE, THE LATEST FROM THE SHOWER CAP BLOG:
Maybe the Real Red Wave Was the Litter Boxes Our Furry Kids Pissed In Along the Way
EXCERPTS:
So, how **** ready were you for this mood shift? I myself feel refreshed and renewed to a degree seldom seen outside shampoo commercials. And friends, I needed that. I needed it so hard.
We last convened amidst the cacophonous obscenity of the Republican Party’s closing argument before the midterms, a hideous mishmash of TRANSPHOBIC HATE, THREATS TO POLL WORKERS, bolder-by-the-day ANTI-SEMITISM and CACKLING CELEBRATION OF AN ACT OF TERRORIST VIOLENCE TARGETING A POLITICAL FOE, and the truth is, I’d never been more frightened in my life.
No, not even on January 6th, this felt more…premeditated? This wasn’t We Must Accept This Butthole-Mouthed Thug’s Ugliness to Get Our Tax Cuts, this was **** Civilization Let’s DO This Thing Somebody Give the Order C’mon C’mon C’MON ALREADY.
What I’m saying is, I found the “romping Nazis salivating over the power to come” portion of the program unenjoyable. Stressful, even.
Watching the little bastards stumble furiously about, running face-first into walls and FLINGING ACCUSATIONS AGAINST EACH OTHER has been goddamn delightful, however.
Because the "RED WAVE" turned out to be more of a hey-you-should-have-a-doctor-look-at-that bloody piss trickle on America’s shoes; a significant problem, certainly, and a revolting one, but maybe just maybe …manageable.
The fight is nowhere close to over, and lord knows this wad of weirdos won more power than any truly healthy democracy would allow, but the coalition of the decent showed up, folks.
America smacked the bully right in the mouth, mid-hammer joke, and it sure is satisfying, watching him scamper away crying.
Yeah, the GOP let it all ride on the idiot game show host, and now they’re busted and trying to talk the pawn shop down the street into taking Stephen Miller for 50 bucks and a case of Heineken.
Good. Thank all the gods in all the heavens that your despicable endeavors failed so spectacularly.
We turned back something scary, folks. Or at least gave it a good, sturdy kick in the nards.
Something for Republicans to think about before they pursue these mad tactics again.

This Asshole Again - The Shower Cap Blog
excerpts:
Dunno about you, but I’m still riding high on last week’s wave of catharsis. Making sandwiches from leftover schadenfreude. Knocking ascendant American fascism on its *** gives one a warm, healthy glow, don’t you agree?
I’m sure you enjoyed the steady trickle of election news this week. It was like the closing stages of a night at one of those Brazilian steakhouses where they keep dropping by your table to tempt you with succulent meats. Oh, I couldn’t possibly have one more b-wait, Adam Laxalt lost? I’ll make room. Maybe one last serving of Slate of Trump-Endorsed Weirdos Goes Down in Flames.
That Arizona vote count was exquisitely paced, my compliments to the local deep state.
First Finchem, (and if you haven’t already, treat yourself to his Twitter meltdown*) then Thiel’s pet ghoul, and finally, Kari Lake, a crushing disappointment to those who like their autocracy best when it’s lit like mid-period Joan Crawford.
There doesn’t seem to be as much stomach to keep election denialism going this time around, (because of all the losing, probably)
but I’m sure Lake is willing to spend as much of Mike Lindell’s money as it takes to keep her face in front of the endlessly bilkable MAGA mob.
Her first move was to fly down to Mar-a-Lago to meet with [Trump] and a pro wrestling promoter, because that’s just how **** works in this, our healthiest of all possible democracies.
Anyway, given expectations, I barely minded when they finally announced that Kevin McCarthy would, in fact, gain just enough rope in the Congress to come to hang himself, heading a tiny, tottering majority, held together with scotch tape, anal leakage, and Marjorie Taylor Greene, (but I repeat myself) assuming he isn’t accidentally killed in some Freedumb Caucus hazing ritual first.
One can’t help but draw comparisons, with one of the most significant and effective House Speakers in history passing the torch this week. Nancy Pelosi’s accomplishments are too impressive to even discuss in my crass little blog, whereas K-Dawg sold American democracy out at every opportunity for the chance to spend two years stage-managing The Hunter Biden Show.
And he’s the very best they’ve got.
Honesty, watching the turdpit knife fight taking place in what’s left of the Republican Party, now that we’ve skimmed the last microscopic traces of decency off the top…it’s been a bit nauseating, but I’m generally enjoying myself.
It’s not so much an intraparty civil war as the worst human beings alive clawing at one another’s eyes over the keys to a used death cult.
