BREAKING: Tucker Texts Reveal Hidden, Secret, Completely Unsuspected RACISM showercapblog (dot com)

excerpts part two:

Letters to Trump came out, and it’s actually even more embarrassing than it appears on the surface, which is impressive, because on the surface, it’s a coffee table book dedicated to the pettiest fixations of an aging game show host.

I see the mighty alpha among alphas is still afraid of debates. He’s very impressive, though. I can see why you’d build a cult of personality around him. This one time, he passed a cognitive test.

Despite his undeniable expertise in the field of Identifying Drawings of Elephants, constitutional law remains something of a blind spot, and now he gets to pay the New York Times’ legal fees.

Also, at least eight of his fake Georgia electors have accepted immunity deals. Oh, and Jack Smith has an “insider witness” down at Marm-a-Lago.

Which brings us to his nauseating deposition in the E. Jean Carroll trial. Watching Donald Trump vamp on the Access Hollywood tape is like watching a rectal cyst leak.

Getting convicted of seditious conspiracy is probably my favorite thing the Proud Boys have ever done. Also my favorite thing the Oath Keepers have ever done, coincidentally enough, though I anticipate enjoying both groups’ rotting-in-prison period nearly as much.

Saw a story titled, “DeSantis Disappoints British Business Leaders Ahead of Expected 2024 Presidential Bid,” and chuckled, because we’re gonna see a whole lotta headlines in the weeks to come that start with those two words. “DeSantis disappoints.” Rolls right off the tongue, doesn’t it? And so versatile! Fundraising deadlines. Debates. Caucuses. Primaries. I don’t anticipate a particularly dignified concession speech.

ANYWAY. Seems Ron wrote and published a book in which he brags about persecuting Disney for protected political speech, which experts say may come back to bite him in the lawsuit where Disney alleges he, um, persecuted them for…well, for protected political speech.

Perhaps his next book can be on the legal perils of spending one’s political life pandering to proto-fascist primary voters.

So, Herschel Walker apparently fleeced a Republican megadonor out of half a million dollars, and seriously…imagine getting conned by Herschel Walker. The “I don’t want to be a vampire any more, I want to be a werewolf” guy tricked you into giving him five hundred and thirty-five thousand, two hundred dollars. Congratulations.

The entire con, by the way, was “wire the money here kthxbye.” And it worked. I don’t think we’ll need Newman & Redford for this one.

GUEST SPOT LAGNIAPPE:

Vendetta off the rails: Gov. DeSantis protects Floridians from Disney monorail

by Frank Cerabino, Palm Beach Post


excerpts:


Thank you, Gov. DeSantis, for taking aim at a real safety issue in Florida. I’m talking about the Disney World monorail system, of course.

Since 1971, this most heavily used monorail system in the world has delivered about 50 million people a year safely to destinations in the park. So, it’s way overdue for a screw-up.

Which is why we need to applaud DeSantis for having the foresight to step in. Because as we know, there are three serious health and welfare issues that are gripping the state, issues that require quick government action.

They are:
  • Getting more untrained Floridians out in public places with loaded guns.
  • Banning abortions to women before they realize they are pregnant.
  • Seizing control of the Walt Disney World monorail.
Some people have erroneously imagined that the state government is taking control of the Disney monorail system due solely to a puerile vendetta one emotionally stunted adult has with the theme park company over a single, unrelated difference of opinion.

They somehow imagine that DeSantis, looking for new ways to punish Disney because of its criticism of his signature “Don’t Say Gay” law, is flailing out in clumsy, transparent ways to hurt the company.

But for that to be true, DeSantis would have had to achieve the dysfunctional trifecta of being bigoted, childish and foolish at the same time.

And he would have to be willing to submit the taxpayers of Florida to enormous lawyer bills to defend legally problematic efforts to muzzle free speech in what he likes to call “the free state of Florida.”

That would be extraordinary. Especially for a governor. Why would a person with a seat at the adults’ table act with such a junior-high level of maturity to hurt the state’s biggest tourism draw?

Can’t be. I refuse to believe that 4.6 million Floridians could have voted for such a damaged person last year. There must be an alternative explanation.

It must be that the Disney monorail requires some new government oversight because it’s … er, um … sneaky dangerous.

​​​​​​​Yeah, that’s the ticket.

Well, I Have a New Least Favorite Town Hall - showercapblog (dot com)

Friday, May 12th, 2023

excerpts PART ONE:


Grossest week in a while, wasn’t it?

Straight from the E. Jean Carroll verdict to the raw, human horror of that CNN town hall. Sharp drop.

The judge in the Carroll case felt compelled to advise the jury to avoid publicly identifying themselves, as doing so would expose them to harassment and possible murder. Sound advice.

Yeah, MAGA’s still ugly, if anybody out there was wondering. I guess we can keep yelling at each other about whether CNN should’ve loaned the little turd their platform in the first place, but I think it provided a **** sobering reminder of the nature of the fight we’re in.

This is how a room full of Republican primary voters behaves. It’s who they are. There’s no secret legion of rational moderates, aching to hear Asa Hutchinson’s stump speech. It’s a mob.

It. Is. A. Mob.


Of course they jeered along with their butter sculpture strongman’s performative cruelty; the cruelty is, and always has been, the ENTIRE **** POINT.

They like that he sexually assaults women. They like that he brags about it. We’ve known that since the Access Hollywood tape.

They elected him precisely because he hurts people, and they hope to re-elect him so he can hurt people again.

“Makes me want to vote for him twice,” proclaimed one Thomas Tuberville, reminding the nation how he earned a spot on the Turd Reich’s Capitol Riot calling tree.

You know what? If a man of such unshakable Christian principle as Dr. Tuberville wants to single-handedly undermine the nation’s military readiness, who are we to object, with our pizzagating and our furry kid litter boxes?

Tommy wants more white nationalists in our armed forces, by the way. He said that to NPR. Good thing Doug Jones isn’t your Senator anymore, Alabama. You wouldn’t have anybody working so diligently to give the next generation of domestic terrorists the sort of training only the U.S. military can provide.

Hey, speaking, as we so often must, of our loser violence epidemic, the Texas mall shooter turned out to be a standard-issue MAGA loser, complete with Nazi tattoos, radicalized online by standard-issue MAGA losers like Tim Pool.

(I’m told he was unavailable for the CNN town hall audience, being dead.)

Well, I Have a New Least Favorite Town Hall - showercapblog (dot com)  Friday, May 12th, 2023

excerpts part two:


Still, credit where it’s due, Republicans continue to offer sensible, good-faith solutions to America’s wacky gun conundrum. Fox put their deepest thinkers to work on the issue, and what they came up with was “have a plan to kill everyone you meet.” As Mary Poppins so memorably taught us, in song.

Marsha Blackburn proposes unleashing an army of gun-toting grandparents upon our schools, and what could possibly go wrong?

Meanwhile, Lauren Boebert is co-sponsoring federal legislation to make the AR-15 America’s “national gun.”

Because it’s killed so many kids, you see.
You wouldn’t want some sissy-*** gun that can’t even slaughter a classroom full of schoolchildren in seconds as your NATIONAL GUN, wouldja, ya groomer?

Speaking of, Ukraine shot down Pooty’s “most sophisticated missile,” but at least he was able to scrounge up a whole tank for his big “Victory Day” parade. That picture’s going in those history books you were aimin’ at, kiddo. Maybe even the cover. Lookit My Last Tank: The Humiliating Fall of Vlad…Vlad Something...

Ron DeSantis continues shrinking before the very eyes of anyone who still bothers to look at him. He seems to think he’s performing extremely impressively in that weird, embarrassing fight he picked with Disney. “They have not made a peep,” Ron boasted, which is nowhere close to true.

They are literally suing you... dude. They threw a Pride Night, legally gutted your lunatic “board,” and sued you.

A group of House Republicans are actually pushing a bill that would abolish the no-fly zones over Disneyland and Disney World. The GOP is gonna make Disney hate gay people, or knock themselves senseless trying. Forcing The Walt Disney Company to forsake LGBTQ rights and representation is about 35% of the Republican platform right now.

Which is odd, I think
(no, Cap. not really... not for THESE cretins.)

Anyway, Ron’s gonna traffic some more migrants. Next chance he gets, he’s gonna do that human trafficking thing he does, because he thinks it plays well with the Republican base. And he’s right, it does, it’s just that it’s not enough to keep up with the guy who’s inciting riots and sexually assaulting women.

Well, Johnny Law finally caught up to George Santos. Somehow. It’s almost a shame to see such a promising young grifter’s career cut short, and before he got a crack at the Saudi money, too.

Of course, McCarthy needs Georgie’s vote to take the global economy hostage, so he gets to just…stay a Congressman, I guess. Thank heaven he’s being allowed to weigh in on such matters. George Santos personally launching humanity’s next Dark Age kinda tracks, though. Feels sufficiently biblical.

I like that James Comer is such a clown, even Fox **** on him. How’s it feel t’be that guy, Jim? The network that based the entire Big Lie on the ravings of an obviously deranged cactus artist finds you less than credible. Oof.

GUEST LAGNIAPPE: CNN's ratings dip—behind Newsmax—after Trump town hall - Daily Kos

by Aldous J Pennyfarthing (author of "Dear **** Lunatic...")

excerpts:


Usually when you sell your soul, you get something pretty cool in return—at least until your Faustian bargain goes full Hindenburg in the third act. But if you’re CNN or Sen. Lindsey Graham, all you get is the privilege of carrying Donald Trump’s water. And in Graham’s case, probably his golf clubs, too. And maybe Eric, if it’s after 3 PM and he’s missed his nap.

As we all know by now, CNN set out a MAGA thirst trap for low-information voters last week by gifting a confirmed insurrectionist and admitted sexual assaulter a choice prime time slot in which to feebly deny his past crimes and promise literally impossible feats, like ending the war in Ukraine in 24 hours and convincing suburban swing voters that his unctuous raccoon hands haven’t pawed at marginally more women than McRib sandwiches.

So how did that work out for CNN? Early indications are ... not so great:
  • The Daily Beast - Two days after the network pulled in more than 3.3 million viewers for its widely criticized town hall with... Donald Trump, CNN found itself in fourth place among cable news networks in primetime. Worse yet, it finished behind MAGA channel Newsmax, which until recently was barely nabbing a nightly audience of 100,000.
Wait, so MAGAs didn’t want to hang around after the town hall to enjoy the thousand-yard stares of professional journalists who’ve given most of their careers to CNN, only to watch it air a low-rent Jerry Springer episode in which the Klansmen didn’t actually wear hoods but were somehow even easier to spot?

Weird, man.
  • While Fox’s viewership has dropped precipitously since then, especially in primetime, it still easily led cable news ratings on Friday night.
So here’s what apparently happens when you try to become Fox Lite. Fox keeps its viewers, Newsmax beats you in the ratings, you infuriate your core audience, and fascism creeps ever closer.

And not for nothing, you also demoralize your own employees, who maybe don’t think it’s such a great idea to platform a cartoon supervillain who singlehandedly attempted to end American democracy—and has never shown a scintilla of remorse over it.

Before we get started, I’d like to take a moment to congratulate everyone on successfully navigating another week without poisoning yourself to death with livestock dewormer. Poisoning yourself to death with livestock dewormer is something that can happen to anyone, anytime, and while it’s never tragic, it’s always really, really **** funny.

This blog is dedicated to the memory of Danny Lemoi, who refused to allow those fancypants “doctors” to dictate what is and isn’t human medicine. Danny loved him some horse paste, ingesting “a daily dose of veterinary ivermectin” for a decade, before shockingly dying from the extensively documented side effects of overdosing on ivermectin.

Equally baffling are the ivermectin overdose symptoms reported by Lemoi’s Telegram channel audience, who tuned in to hear Danny talk about what a good idea it is for people to swallow large quantities of a chemical designed to kill parasites inside cows, until his untimely death from, again, ivermectin poisoning.

You’ll no doubt be pleased to learn that “Lemoi also formulated an ivermectin regimen for children, and numerous members of the group reported that they were using it.” I don’t want to step on anybody’s toes here, but maybe the real groomers are the ones grooming their own kids to be cattle.

‘Course, you flip on Fox, and there’s Maria Bartiromo, slinging all the old lies about ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, receiving no pushback whatsoever from her conversation partner, a United States Senator who has been known to self-identify as a medical doctor.

Yeah, people still watch Fox. In fact, only 9 percent of Fox viewers said they’re watching the network less than they used to, now that they’ve learned they’re viewed by Fox executives as not only incestuous terrorists, “but especially dumb ones.” (It must be said, these private communications hew closer to the truth than most of their on-air content.)

It’s still snug n’ cozy in the right-wing media bubble, where Silicon Valley Bank somehow failed because of “wokeness.”

I knew it had to be wokeness, drag queens, or Hunter Biden’s laptop. Good thing we’ve got Fox to tell us who to hate whenever anything happens.

Also, I’m told “Tucker Carlson’s Capitol videos are giving Jan. 6 defendants false hope.” How delightful. A charming justice niblet. A petit four. Terrorists should be made to feel crushing disappointment whenever possible, don’t you think?
Remind us again B.See...how many times did you see the inside of the candy van when you were a kid?

Remember, They’re Sending Their Very, Very Best showercapblog (dot com)

Friday, May 19th, 2023  excerpts:


John Durham, having failed so completely and spectacularly at the task he devoted 3 1/2 years of his life to, sat down to make a list of all the made-up **** he wanted to find but didn’t, knowing right-wing media would treat it like a stone tablet proving Hillary ate Seth Rich’s face, which is exactly what happened, because this is Hell.

The Durham Report is like some talisman Dumbledore entrusts to Hermione, that magically grants legitimacy to any conspiracy theory, if only for the duration of a Newsmax segment. Anna Paulina Luna’s gonna expel Adam Schiff from Congress over…somethin’. She’ll work that bit out later.

Who can even **** tell what Tommy Tuberville thinks is in that report, but he’s about ready to dig a trench over it. I don’t know what to tell you, Tommy. I’m sorry you believe a bunch of **** that isn’t true, but we’re not getting rid of elections just because your brain doesn’t work.

Marjorie Taylor Greene announced she’s filing articles of impeachment, likely from a cereal box, targeting President Biden, Attorney General Merrick Garland, D.C. U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves, E Street Band keyboardist Roy Bittan, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, WWE Intercontinental Champion Gunther, and FBI Director Christopher Wray. Whatever.

Always fun watching a United States Congressman decide he has the right to lay hands on a dissenting American protester. Especially a vicious little thug like Clay Higgins.

I think Clay showed us who he is in the aftermath of the Paul Pelosi attack, and I think the whole **** point of America is that the Clay Higginses of this world don’t get to push the rest of us around. One man’s opinion.

Seems James Comer went and lost his whistleblower. Probably wandered off while Jimmy was shoving quarters up his nose, in the parking lot behind the laundromat. Him and Ron Johnson, and oh, about nine dollars and seventy-five cents

Jim Jordan’s whistleblowers showed up, and he probably wishes they hadn’t.

Not so much “whistleblowers,” turns out, as disgruntled, insurrectionist whackjobs, on Trumpworld conspiracy theorist Kash Patel’s payroll, who had their security clearances revoked for wholly legitimate reasons, like the guy who “expressed sympathy for persons or organizations that advocate, threaten, or use force or violence,” for example.

I guess Lauren Boebert’s getting divorced. Join me on a quick tangent:

They should make Lauren Boebert the MAGA Bachelorette.

I don’t watch these shows, but round up however many Proud Boys and incels and ultranationalist YouTubers and Matt Gaetz, and gape in horror as they battle, with words of woo, and perhaps the odd nail gun, for her favor.

Hosted, obviously, by Josh Hawley, that manliest of manhood-havers. Josh’s book came out, and I look forward to seeing it quoted in mass shooting manifestos for years to come.

I guess one of Paul Gosar’s staffers is linked to neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes. I don’t imagine Paul Gosar hires many people without links to neo-Nazis, y’know?

Remember, They’re Sending Their Very, Very Best showercapblog (dot com)

Friday, May 19th, 2023 excerpts part two:


Representatives Higgins and Gosar and Boebert and Greene and Luna and Jordan and Comer united with the entire House Republican Conference, especially the Rational Moderates™️, to save George Santos from expulsion. Historians are already calling this the ethicalest Congress of all time.

They’re saying DiSappointus is finally about to officially launch the presidential campaign he lost a few months back. On a wave of hate, soundtracked by the candidate’s suitably unnatural laughter.

“Grinning DeSantis Tosses Sharpies to Crowd During Anti-Trans Bill Signings”

What a nasty little headline that is. They’re always so happy when they hurt people.
Lookit Ron. Jubilant. Surrounded by children, to whom tomorrow presumably belongs.

The state of Florida is investigating a public school teacher for showing kids a Disney movie. Because there’s a gay character in it. That’s happening, in 2023, in what’s technically still America.

The Mouse remains Ron’s white whale, and he stabs at it, from hell’s heart, with pudding-stained hands. Now he’s chased a billion-dollar investment out of his state, in search of culture war clout he didn’t even get.

Saw a headline that read, “GOP presidential field shaping up to be party’s most diverse yet,” and chuckled. Sure, that’s the take. Vivek Ramaswamy’s never-ending rant about wokeness is a “presidential campaign,” and at the RNC next year, which will held at Rivendell, by the way, all the Nikki Haley delegates and Tim Scott delegates will join hands, and lead America into a land of milk & honey…-flavored horse paste.

Heads’re gonna roll once the Dotard Restored makes Mike Flynn Secretary of the Whole Dang Deep State. Storm’s a-comin’, groomers! Once upon a time, “Republican frontrunner pledges to bring hate-mongering felon into administration” would’ve been a bigger story.

If Rudy Giuliani turned out to be, like, five thousand slugs in a trench coat, would you really be surprised? “No, that makes perfect sense,” you’d say, as they slithered away into the night. Anyway, you know what he did, I don’t want to talk about it.

I've yet to even begin to sort thru the latest headlines this Memorial Day weekend 'cause I've better things to do. So for now, the latest installment from showercapblog (dot com):

If God Made a Fighter in Ron DeSantis, God Shouldn’t Quit His Day Job -  Friday, May 26th, 2023


excerpts part one:


Folks, this week may’ve finally broken me. Marjorie Taylor Greene dropped a hundred grand on Kevin McCarthy’s used chapstick, and it only got dumber from there.

Are we absolutely certain this is real life, and not, like, my college theatre department staging some minor, absurdist farce from behind the Iron Curtain, circa 1977?

The shouty woman from Act I, bashing away with her gavel, demanding decorum…it’s a little unsubtle.

Anyway, Donnie One-Term got his first official criminal trial start date, that’ll spice up the ol’ primary calendar.

Or will it? March 25th? Hell, he’ll have it sewn up by then. The state of the GOP presidential field at the moment is “so pathetic Glenn Youngkin might not be able to stay away,” which is probably the saddest thing I’ve ever typed.

You’d think, law of averages, at some point during his campaign’s excruciating rollout period, DeSantis would undertake some endeavor, however modest, that wouldn’t immediately blow up in his face, but then, I don’t remember Charlie Brown ever getting that football. And Ron is basically Charlie Brown, But ****.

All I’m saying is, enjoy the spectacle of this uncanny valley restaurant mascot wiping snot on voters while you can; by this time next year, he’s gonna be in a bar band with Scott Walker.

Ron appointed a bonafide Capitol rioter to a state regulatory board, which explains why he’s talking about pardoning more of them. On a purely practical level, it’s difficult to staff a MAGA administration without access to the pool of incarcerated terrorists.

His existing staff is all tied up, too, extorting political contributions from lobbyists. Resorting to blackmail to create the illusion of support is the stuff of loads of successful campaigns, I’m sure.

Anyway, Nikki Haley & the However Many Dwarves spent the week trying and failing to generate attention, and I bet it would save time if I cut and paste this sentence into every blog between now and Iowa.

Though Merrick Garland is expected to emerge sometime next week from beneath his desk, where he has been quivering in the fetal position since receiving an extremely impressive, intimidating letter from Donald Trump’s “legal team,

I’m afraid the Special Counsel investigation is off, folks. I’ve never seen such lawyering.

Dangit, and right when DoJ got ahold of yet another level of incriminating evidence in the stolen nuclear secrets case, too.

Oh well, I doubt Jack Smith had an answer for the I Declassified Them With My Mind defense, anyway.

If God Made a Fighter in Ron DeSantis, God Shouldn’t Quit His Day Job - Friday, May 26th, 2023 - showercapblog

excerpts part two.


Stewart Rhodes, Grand Dragon of the Bashful Boyz or the 7-11ers or whatever, gets to spend the next 18 years behind bars, because it turns out the Constitution does not, in fact, grant you the right to violently overturn an election, even when you really, really, really, really wanted it to go the other way.

At sentencing, Stewie delivered a brief, forgettable tirade about all the fake laws he made up that permit him to hurt whoever he wants, and how the judge should follow those laws instead of the real ones real people passed in the real world,

which is MAGA in a nutshell, isn’t it? Conjuring whatever imaginary timber you happen to require to construct your own, personal permission structure for violence?

Like, how strange, in a right-wing culture where a Republican governor “jokes” about hunting Democrats “with dogs,” and a Republican state legislator bellows, proudly, on the floor of the Senate, in the middle of a debate over a transgender rights bill, “I’m telling you right now, if a guy walks in there, I’m going to beat the living piss out of him,” that we should find the grassroots lobbing anti-trans death threats at Target, those that aren’t menacing children with assault rifles at bus stops, or loading up U-Hauls with Nazi flags for unannounced tours of the White House grounds, anyway.

“Weimar problems eventually lead to Weimar solutions,” they’re saying now.

Well, maybe, maybe not, but you don’t have any “Weimar problems,” dorks. You’re just making **** up so you can feel important.

Took the bill a little while to arrive, but it turns out, pausing mid-insurrection for a sassy photo shoot with your feet atop Nancy Pelosi’s desk’ll set you back four and a half years of your pathetic life. I’m really looking forward to MAGA’s second act, as an unusually self-destructive white collar prison gang.

Our old pal Noot popped by to praise the Great Mistake for transmitting his poison at a third grade reading level. Yep, that is exactly where his talents lie, Noot. Doesn’t seem the sort of thing you’d want to build a cult of personality or a political party around, but he sure does use small words.

Meanwhile, Lauren Boebert’s mad at Joe Biden for fighting anti-Semitism.

Nick Fuentes wants you to know he’s not a pedophile or anything, he just longs to take a child bride is all. No doubt he picked up some pointers on that score when he dined down at Mar-a-Lago.

Apparently, Matt Schlapp is a “cancer,” devouring CPAC from within. Y’know what? That’s a good spot for Matt.

Hey, what do QAnon, flat-earthers, and 9/11 truthers have in common? Republican governance, that’s what!

Been so busy of late I've fallen behind in my Shower Cap blogs. A new one is out and I'm just posting the third part of last week's. Tempus fugit.

If God Made a Fighter in Ron DeSantis, God Shouldn’t Quit His Day Job

Friday, May 26th, 2023 - showercapblog (dot com)

excerpts part three:


Arizona Senate Republicans are not only hosting a legion of smooth-brained kooks at a Senate hearing dedicated to COVID lunacy, they’ve actually branded their **** committee with a trolly QAnon reference. Snickering all the while, no doubt. Some goon probably spent a day and a half on that acronym, without even understanding he was peaking.

Meanwhile, Tennessee Republicans appointed a 9/11 truther to the committee overseeing the state’s social studies standards, but not just any 9/11 truther, a 9/11 truther who believes Obama caused tornados.

You wouldn’t want merely mildly insane people deciding what your kids learn in school, wouldja?

What’s that leave? Oh right, the flat-earther! Meet Georgia GOP District Chair Kandiss Taylor. Though I fancy myself a political humorist, I could not hope to improve upon her own words:


“For me, if it is not a conspiracy, if it is real, why are you pushing so hard everywhere I go? Every store, you buy a globe, there’s globes everywhere. Every movie, every TV show, news media — why?”

…where’re you shopping, Kandiss? I bought some pants at Macy’s the other day, and the clerk wasn’t pushy about the globe thing at all. “Would you like to add a globe today, sir?” And I said, “Don’t be ridiculous, of course I would,” no pressure at all.

“Everywhere there’s globes. You see them all the time, it’s constant. My children will be like ‘Mama, globe, globe, globe, globe’ — they’re everywhere.”

That is not true. Unless your kids are **** with their **** mom, in which case they’re awesome. ANWAY, cool District Chair you got there, Georgia Republicans.

This is the fundamental problem with the MAGA ask, the insistence on government of, by, and for only the loudest, nuttiest assholes.

I found myself appreciating the dark economy of the headline, “Florida Mom Behind Amanda Gorman Book Ban Has Proud Boy Links.”

Lotta crazy crammed into those eleven words.

And on a certain level, I feel bad for this woman, who has been driven insane by malicious people on the internet, but we can’t let folks who spread anti-Semitic conspiracy theories on Facebook purge our libraries of books about racism. Obviously. OBVIOUSLY.

Fox News somehow fell for yet another white resentment-stoking hoax, despite their rigorous journalistic standards. I bet it’s the last time, though.

Kari Lake lost the Arizona governor’s race one more time, for old time’s sake, the latest stop in a terrifying decline into wingnut carnydom. She’s headed for the geek pit, with Rudy, mark my words.

Hell. Been so busy of late that, not only have I still yet to wade thru my now hundreds of news items (meaning much of it is no longer "new") but I've even fallen two whole Showercaps BEHIND. "Cause, time flies when you're (doing something other than this ****).

Joe’s Gonna Start Complaining About the Lack of Competition - showercapblog (dot com) from Friday, June 2nd, 2023

excerpts:


Yet another too-good-for-Fox-to-spin jobs report, on top of the nobody-gloat-till-the-vote-closes fleecing of poor Keville Chamberlain. Hey, House Republicans, if you’re wondering where Joe’s pants are, check a couple inches north of the boot up your ***.

It’s never fun, making concessions to the Republican Party, but the debt ceiling kerfuffle was quick and relatively painless, and anything that makes Chip Roy this mad is okay with me.

This was the best Chip Roy **** yet, because you got to watch him figure out, in real time, that he never actually had the power he was promised. Yeah, Chip, Biden did roll McCarthy, but McCarthy rolled YOU.

Kevin seemed quite pleased with his fistful of shiny beads, though. Anything that takes less than fifteen tries goes on the fridge at the McCarthy household. Man, the rest of the caucus did all that reading for nuthin’.

Apparently, Jack Smith has a recording of the Dotard admitting he doesn’t have the magical declassifying powers he invented for himself upon getting caught with stolen nuclear secrets. And that’s a tidy little piece of evidence, if a touch unnecessary.

“My client holds a deep, profoundly sincere belief in these imaginary powers, Your Honor.”

“Yes, well. They remain nonexistent. Got anything to say about any real laws?”

“I do not.”

“Ok, then.”

Also, the document discussed in the recording is still missing. Nothing super important, just plans for war with Iran. Maybe he’s holding onto it as part of some revenge scheme targeting Milley. Maybe he sold it to the highest bidder. Maybe he drew a hamburger on it and ate it.

Wouldja believe turmoil has arisen within the fetid tangle of bottom-feeding grifters that comprise Donnie One-Term’s “legal team?” Infighting, even. Perhaps they are not, as I once envisioned, a somber assemblage of top-tier legal minds, united by noble purpose. Perhaps they are hogs, battling for spots at the trough before the NFT money runs dry.

In honor of Pride Month, the woke mind virus paraded its freshly assimilated corporate drone: Chick-fil-A! Look, Real Americans, you’re simply not calling in enough bomb threats to Target.

Major League Baseball now requires teams to hold on-field grooming festivals during the seventh inning stretch because YOU let your bomb threat game get soft! Do you sheeple even WANT a country?

If Ron DeSantis truly hopes to get elected President, at a certain point, he’s going to need to figure out how to at least approximate human behavior. I can’t be the only one who sees a self-loathing Conehead who’s had extensive cosmetic surgery.

The sloppy doofus can’t even decide how to pronounce his own name. Not quite done focus testing it with Proud Boys and Three Percenters, y’see. “Which way sounds more foreign?” “Would you be more likely to kidnap a Governor Duh-Santis or a Governor DEE-Santis?”

Ah, so your spam has been moved to the liberal safe space.....

Somehow I don't think that improves your chances of anyone giving a ****..

Mummy, the Indictment Fairy Came BACK! - showercapblog - Friday, June 9th, 2023

excerpts:


Boy, nothing enrages the **** people alive quite like Donald Trump getting indicted. HEY, YOU CAN’T ARREST THAT GAME SHOW HOST, I WAS WORSHIPPING THAT GUY! They want to insurrect again so badly, only they’re afraid they’d **** it up like the last one. And they would, of course. They’re idiots.

Lookit Mark Levin. Like a cyst about to burst. Because Donald Trump wasn’t allowed to steal national defense secrets. I think Clay Higgins needs a wellness check, by the way. I believe I saw Andy Biggs digging a trench.

Yes, despite the best efforts of the pool boy, Donnie One-Term made history as the first former 'resident to face federal charges, because he stole a bunch of classified **** and refused to give it back, which is against the law for all sorts of good reasons.

37 counts in all. Violations of the Espionage Act. Conspiracy to obstruct justice. 31 counts of willful retention of national defense information. These are not small crimes.

Hey, I don’t know who needs to hear this, but stealing is still illegal. You know how you’re not allowed to take gum from the grocery store? It might be helpful to think of nuclear secrets as really special, important gum.

They obtained a warrant, and raided his house, where they found a bunch of stolen documents. They obtained his former lawyer’s notes through the crime-fraud exception to attorney-client privilege. They’ve got testimony from everybody from Meadows to the Mar-a-Lago Secret Service detail.

The closest thing he had to a defense was pretending to believe he had the power to declassify stuff with his mind, (well, he did pass that one cognitive test) but it turns out there’s even a recording of the doofus trying to impress people with his rad classified document collection.

All I’m saying is, for a deep state hoax perpetrated to distract the public from Hunter Biden’s plot to fill all the furry kid litter boxes with rainbow fentanyl, they certainly did their homework.

Walt Nauta, the Dotard’s adorable teen sidekick, got indicted, too, for conspiracy to obstruct justice. Which, yeah, is about what you’d think would happen when you conceal subpoenaed documents from the government and lie about it.

Oh, and couple more lawyers quit. Which opens up some intriguing possibilities. MAH GOD, THAT’S RUDY GIULIANI’S MUSIC!

Now, if I were looking to pry my political party from the suicidal clutches of a loser death cult, this would seem like a golden opportunity to finally stand tall, and proclaim, in clear, ringing tones, “Perhaps the fellow who commits crimes all the time shouldn’t be in charge,” but the GOP only has the one spine to pass around, and Willard’s hogging it.

No, somehow the consensus remains that only the mob-inciting sex criminal who stole “information regarding defense and weapons capabilities of both the US and foreign countries, US nuclear programs, potential vulnerabilities of the US and its allies to military attack” will do.

Ken Buck’s right, though, when he says all this law enforcement gives Trump “credibility” with the fash-curious Republican base. Yes, Ken, your party rewards crime and lionizes criminals. Your mom must be proud.

Hey, Did I Miss Anything? Excerpts from Showercapblog dot com: September 1st, 2023

Let’s see if I remember how to do this. Orange Man…good? Do I have that right? Anyway, I’ve returned from summer vacation, ready to resume the fight...

Hope I didn’t miss anything too important. Like maybe an unceasing cycle of increasingly inane culture war thinkpiece skirmishes over some rando’s country song? Or, I dunno, some former 'resident and his **** co-conspirators getting indicted on a whole buncha felony counts?

I confess, despite years of reading and writing about these dorks, I was unprepared for the intensity of the **** the Children of the Candy Corn pitched at the sight of that mugshot. What a delightful meltdown.

Jesse Watters dry-humped the photo in Tucker Carlson’s old chair, moaning ecstatically about how “good” and “hard” inmate number P01135809 looked...

Dinesh D’Souza thinks it makes the Dotard “the ultimate gangsta.” Laura Loomer expressed the agreed-upon view that getting booked in what she refers to as “the blackest jail (in) the state of Georgia” magically delivers the Black vote on a silver platter, which I think demonstrates the intellectual prowess of the white nationalist movement rather elegantly.

Now Sarah Palin wants a civil war, and I think if we agree in advance to provide humanitarian aid, in the form of a few Hereford ranches’ worth of dewormer, we can leave the rest to natural selection.

DeSantis worked hard to transform himself into the sort of fellow who gets booed at a vigil for victims of a hate crime, because you can’t get anywhere in Republican politics without being the sort of fellow who gets booed at a vigil for victims of a hate crime, but... Ron finds himself losing ground to the more personable bigots.

Which brings us to the latest belle of the MAGA ball, who, owing to the front-runner’s cowardice, had the braying jackass lane all to himself at the first debate.

Vivek Ramaswamy blathers endlessly on like a chatbot that’s been fed nothing but Breitbart op-eds... and low-quality meth, so naturally, an increasing number of Republican primary voters want to invest him with the authority to launch nuclear strikes.

Ramaswamy spouts so much stupid, stupid ****, even Fox has started calling him out. His foreign policy ramblings have been proclaimed “criminally stupid” by no less an authority than Marc Thiessen, who was undoubtedly thrilled to find himself on the other end of that designation for a change.

Meanwhile, Kevin McCarthy’s trying to bribe the Chip Roy wing of his feral caucus with the prospect of an impeachment inquiry he lacks both the evidence and the votes for, but Chip won’t bite....

What else, what else….CPAC and Project Veritas are rotting to death from within, and Mike Lindell had his line of credit cut off, but somehow the Consequences Fairy still has time to visit the Giuliani household damn near every day. Santa’s a cuuuuuuuck.

Anyhow, Rudy’s been found liable for defaming a pair of Georgia election workers... oh, and also he was possibly compromised by Russian intelligence, according to an FBI whistleblower.

I do enjoy watching traitors squirm as the law closes in. Been a good week for that. Eastman, Meadows, Navarro…keep ‘em comin’, says I.

“People Doing Poems on Aircraft Carriers” & Other Atrocities - Excerpts from the Showercap Blog (Friday, September 8th, 2023):

Well, the Republican Party continues its mad, manic spiral into authoritarianism, white supremacy, and violence, but on the other hand, Joe Biden is old, so y’know…both sidez, y’all.

The GOP’s 'residential front-runner was found liable for defaming the woman he was previously found liable for sexually assaulting, and yet again I find myself shamed by the dazzling moral purity of the religious right.

And Off-Brand Orbán’s getting-whooped-in-court streak rolled on with no signs of slowing, as Marm-a-Lago IT guy Yuscil Taveras flipped on him, joining the ever-growing list of co-defendants coming to the eminently reasonable conclusion that going to prison for a conspiracy of **** who won’t stop publicly confessing doesn’t make a lick of sense.

Animatronic Chuck E. Cheese rat, granted a hideous approximation of life by a monkey’s paw, Ron DeSantis, refused to meet with President Biden during the latter’s visit to hurricane-damaged Florida communities, calculating that a little petulant cowardice might reverse his freefall in the polls.

Then again, perhaps the death cult can be enticed with the prospect of extralegal violence targeting migrants? Why not swing on down, take in a little of the culture the Governor has built in Florida?

After obliterating 90% of his expensive new toy’s value in less than a year, Elon Musk found himself in dire, desperate need of a scapegoat. But after making so many epically **** stupid decisions in full view of the entire world, how could even the richest man alive, equipped with (the tattered remnants of) his own, personal social media platform, hope to deflect culpability?

Inspiration struck like a thunderbolt. “By Jove, I’ve got it! I shall blame…the Jews!”

And blame the Jews he did, visions of reclaiming his squandered billions by suing the Anti-Defamation League dancing through his otherwise pudding-filled noggin.

We also learned Elon sabotaged a Ukrainian military strike on the Russian fleet, thereby enabling months of murderous missile launches, because he truly is what he appears to be: the bad guy from the eighth installment of some irritatingly labyrinthine James Bond fanfic where they kept casting George Lazenby.

Of course, nothing pisses Cult45 off quite like watching terrorists pay for their crimes. I haven’t seen Sarah Palin this upset since the last time one of her **** kids got arrested.

Watch out, America, if 2024 doesn’t go Mike Huckabee’s way, he’s gonna gather all his pedophile pals and large adult sons together and start shootin’ up the joint! Like so many Republicans, Mike’s caught Civil War Fever, but don’t worry, it’s nothing a few doses of horse paste can’t fix.
