Little Sister Resister: Our SICK government

Stupidity, Incompetence, Corruption, Kingship: yes, we have a SICK administration.

Just this week's SICK:

Stupidity

When it comes to Dear Leader, it's stupidity and dementia. It's hard to tease them apart.

Jack Ohman

The United States Constitution

"Don't you need to uphold the Constitution?"

"I don't know."

It seems so stupid to comment further, but we're in a world of stupid.

Dude, you literally swore an oath TWICE to defend the Constitution. In case you forgot what Article 2, Section 1, Clause 8 of said document reads, you spoke these words as required by law: "I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

This is just so ridiculous and stupid. It makes me mad.

David Ramirez

Re-opening Alcatraz

He came up with this winner of an idea this week. Let's reopen Alcatraz! Yes, that prison. The one that perhaps you have ridden a boat to; the one that the National Park Service runs as a tourist attraction.

Yup, that prison that was closed in 1963 because it was too expensive to run. It has been closed twice as long as it operated as a prison.

No heat. No running water. No sanitation. Yes! A perfect prison in the eyes of The Felonious Bastard. The prison that is not fit to house human beings and maybe never was. No wonder he's got a boner for it.

Not only is the idea stupid in itself, but the way he got the idea? From watching TV.

I'll let Stephen Colbert tell you about it.

His announcement of the idea was just another serving of word salad. GAH!

Here's an idea: Open up the doors to one prison that is already operating. Find one unoccupied cell and open that one up. Usher inside this Felon with 34 convictions. Close and lock the door. Forever.

Biden Economy vs. SCROTUS Economy

The word(salad)smith goes again.

Foreign Movie Tariffs

Who wants to watch foreign movies anyway?

I guess he just wants everyone to watch 'murcan masterpieces like Escape from Alcatraz.

I hate that we have to look at every shit pebble that this man throws across the room. Yes, Hollywood is alarmed. No, it won't happen. GAH!

The Cognitive Decline

So much decline!

There have been several news interviews and it is clear his cognitive abilities are heading south. Without his Adderall and his puppet masters propping him up, he is a flailing fish's asshole.

USA Today has a good write-up of many of the latest weird nonsense, memory lapses, and out-to-lunchness.

He doesn't understand economics.

Lawrence O'Donnell at MSNBC went off on his idiocy.

Incompetence

Oh Lord. The Air Disasters and Near-Disasters

There have been so many!

Newark Airport Air Traffic Controllers experienced 90 seconds of terror the other day when their entire system failed. They could not see, hear, or speak to any of the air traffic that was moving in and out of the airport. Can you imagine? A minute and a half of not knowing how many air disasters were going to occur right in front of you?

The infrastructure has been in need of upgrade for decades. Of course, 47 blamed Biden. But did 47 blame 45? The systems were in need of repair then, too.

The air traffic controllers on duty that day were out on trauma leave for a few days. The situation at Newark caused ripple effects for days, with delays and cancellations across the country.

Separately, but within the same week, another Army helicopter flew weirdly across D.C. and caused two near misses near Reagan Airport last weekend.

I don't know about you, but I'm afraid to fly.

Bill Bramhall

Tough beans, 18s

Two – count 'em two – F18 jets fell off of the USS Harry S Truman last week and sunk to the bottom of the ocean. At $67 million a pop.

What the hell is going on?!

Does Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Defense, know what's going on with these military aircraft? Let's check.

Hmmmm. No word on Navy airplanes and Army helicopters. But we do have him railing against "Dudes in dresses."

. @SecDef We are leaving WOKENESS and WEAKNESS behind.

No more pronouns, no more climate change obsessions, no more emergency vaccine mandates, no more DUDES IN DRESSES.

We are done with that sh*t.” pic.twitter.com/MSunWnRYXU

What a sicko.

Scrambling to Re-Hire

Again. DOGE paid people to leave an agency and is now scrambling to re-hire them.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is hurting for people to fill 73 newly-opened positions.

Just in time for locust season, too. Come on, people! We are trying to work our way through the Ten Plagues over here in the USA. Git 'er done!

The Pick for Surgeon General is who?

Here's a wellness influencer, with no medical license but with a pretty face, ready to step in as Surgeon General. Did I read that right?

Yup.

Ms. Casey Means had dropped out of her residency and began hawking alternative medicine. She has no medical license currently. She is supremely unqualified in the normal sense of the word, but fits right in to the Circus Fun House that we are living in.

The Meeting with the Newly-elected Canada PM, Mark Carney

It was weird.

Here's the whole presser:

What I love is the question to Carney afterwards.

Reporter: I was watching your face during the meeting.. what was going through your mind when the President talked about erasing the border.. Carney: I’m glad that you couldn’t tell what was going through my mind Reporter: Oh I could

More Signal Shit?!

There are more security concerns than the two Signal chats that were reported. We know now there were at least 12 Signal chats, and a German newspaper reported that top officials' passwords were leaked to the web, including those of Tulsi Gabbards, Pete Hegseth, and sacrificial lamb Mike Waltz.

Another Incompetent Pick

Seriously? The weird and drunk-acting and maybe drunk-being FAUX News loony talking head Jeanine Pirro for U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C?

Lordt help us.

Randy Rainbow!

He sings "Incompetent!"

(I really hate that RR puts a long ad in the middle..... see if you can skip over it)

FEMA Leader is Out

This morning, acting FEMA administrator Cameron Hamilton was let go and replaced, a day after he testified to Congress, saying, "I do not believe it is in the best interest of the American people to eliminate the Federal Emergency Management Agency."

He's gotta go! He is reasonable and smart. Project 2025 calls for destruction. We must not let disaster relief stand! We've got a Plague of Hail to run!

Corruption

The Pledges to Starlink

What do Lesotho, India, Somalia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Vietnam have in common? They are all being pressured to buy Starlink systems (remember, Elon Musk owns Starlink) as a part of tariff "negotiations."

Can we get any more corrupt? No 👏🏻 we 👏🏻 can 👏🏻 not 👏🏻

The Felon's Reign of Debauchery

AKA, The Crypto Shit.

So, the Drumpf family owns a crypto company. It is run by djt's rakehell sons, Sniffles and Gummy. Drumpf business entities own 60% of the crypto assets. Countries such as Abu Dhabi are falling over themselves to get in on the action to the tune of a $2 billion investment.

This is separate from the other crooked crypto scheme, the $TRUMP meme coin, which is being marketed at private dinners at a certain reprobate president's Virginia golf club. Sales of this coin netted at least $300 million in sales fees.

You guys. This is so wrong I am out of descriptors for "corrupt."

Judges' Families Under Attack

The good news: judges have been applying the rule of law and ruling against King Minus and his odious actions. The bad news: his minions have been threatening the judges, and their families, with violence.

It's not the anonymous whack-jobs out there on the internet. It's people who you know: Laura Loomer, for example, has published photos of family members and posted hateful messages.

Elon Musk used the power of not-Twitter to amplify Loomer's messages. Anonymous whack-jobs then take up the mantle and intimidate and threaten. One of those whack-jobs, somewhere, some day, will take it too far.

EMPTY GEE

Look at this corrupt member of Congress, MTG, trying to fool the American people while smearing a witness. Thank you, Rep. Melanie Stansbury from the great state of New Mexico, for calling her out with a photo bomb.

Kingship

Proposed Immigration Flights to Libya

Libya!? Fuck that shit.

Immigrants were loaded onto buses and sat on the tarmac for hours, where a military plane headed for Libya was waiting. Luckily, a federal judge nixed the idea and said it would violate a court order that forbids deporting non-citizens to any country that is not their home country.

GAH! Can we please just stop?

Two Dolls and Five Pencils

You saw this shit.

Trump: "I don't think a beautiful baby girl that's 11 years old needs to have 30 dolls. I think they can have three dolls or four dolls ... they don't need to have 250 pencils. They can have five." pic.twitter.com/H9nBN0Eh2q

....and you better be happy about it, baby girl. <shudder>

I'm all for reducing consumerism. We collectively consume – and throw away – too much shit. I frequently preach what I practice: I reduce, reuse, and recycle. It's my choice, and I'll urge, but can't compel, others. I'm not perfect; I have been known to sometimes indulge in buying cheap shit for cheap thrills.

When it comes from this guy though....

I think Baron is over his quota for toy cars. Either a gold limo or a black one, kid. You can't have both!

.....it's not to convince you that frugality is a virtue, it's to convince you that his destruction of our economy and global trade is a tremendous thing.

The hypocrisy is breathtaking.

Military Parade Plans

This is the most king shit of all. He wants to have a military parade to honor him on his birthday, which sadly and ironically falls on the U.S. Army's 250th birthday and also Flag Day, June 14.

As he is telling children that they can have two dolls and five pencils and be happy about it, dammit, he wants We the People to throw him a parade with a possible price tag of $118 million dollars.

Fuck that shit.

We will gather in the streets to protest that crock of doo-doo. It shall be known as No Kings Day.

Go to Indivisible.com and find your local demonstration.

Suspending Habeas Corpus?!

Stephen "Himmler" Miller wants to suspend Habeas corpus. TRUMP himself hasn't said anything; he probably doesn't know what it's all about.

This is really disturbing. It is one of the most sacrosanct of legal rights; it is a way to challenge unlawful detentions. And boy oh boy do we have unlawful detentions.

The only time habeas corpus can be suspended is in time of invasion. Again, these rat-face jerks want to paint our immigration situation as an "invasion." So gross.

The Hate for the Pope

A new Pope was elected, an American. Cardinal Robert Prevost from Chicago was elected yesterday, becoming Leo XIV.

It didn't take long to come out that he has criticized 47 and JD Vance and MAGA in general.

Goddammit! He doesn't espouse 'murcan (MAGAt) ideals. He teaches the true word of Jesus, for chrissakes! We can't have that!

Awww, Laura. Did someone hurt your fascism feelings?

Thanks for the meme fodder, Double L.

If espousing love, kindness, and inclusion weren't enough for the MAGAts to hate Pope Leo, there's a new-found reason. It has come to light that he has Black heritage. His maternal great-grandparents were Creole. From the melting pot of America to Vatican City, Leo is a Pope for all people. It follows that MAGA despises him.

The Positives

The Texas Wins

The May 3 Texas elections handed some stunning losses to the MAGAverse. Read about all the wins that the Left had. The tide is turning, folks.

The North Carolina Win

After six months, the Repug contender for a state Supreme Court spot finally conceded in North Carolina. It was a contentious election, with Dem Allison Riggs ekeing out a less-than-800-vote win out of more than 8 million votes cast last November. A federal judge finally declared the winner and the Republican officially, unhappily, conceded.

The Letter to Harvard

Secretary of UnEducation and child molester apologist Linda McMahon wrote a letter to Harvard. They sent it back with corrections.

I could not love this more.

Ed Martin's Nomination Pulled

This idiot defended January 6 defendants and was up for the D.C. District Attorney position. There was bi-partisan criticism of the choice, and 47 finally pulled the nomination.

Of course, now we need to deal with incompetent Jeanine Pirro, but it shows: Pressure can work!

Alabama has to Redraw Voting Maps

A three-member panel of federal judges (two appointed by 45) found that Alabama's voting map violated the Civil Rights Act and the 14th Amendment and it is not valid for future elections. Yip!

Ann Telnaes wins Pulitzer

One of my favorite political cartoonists, Ms. Telnaes's work has graced these pages often. She won the Pulitzer Prize for Illustrated Reporting and Commentary last week. This, after she won the "Go Get 'Em" prize from the American public and her fellow editorial cartoonists when she resigned from the Washington Post in protest after the killing of her piece that criticized WaPo's owner, among other oligarchs.

To remind you and to shine a light on her piece, here it is again:

Canada and Australia are Going the Left Way

Elections this month in these two countries swung left. It is widely seen as a referendum on Donald McFondle.

Student Activist Released from Prison

Tufts University doctoral student Rumeysa Ozturk, from Turkey, had been held in a Louisiana prison for over six weeks after she co-authored an opinion piece in the university's student newspaper. The piece criticized Israel's actions in Gaza, and being a pro-Palestinian piece, she soundly deserved arrest in this Upside Down we're living in, right?

A judge disagreed, finding that she was arrested in violation of her First Amendment rights (duh) and ordered her released.

Breaking: A Judge Ordered Mass Firings to Stop

Just as this was going to publication, it was reported that a judge says the mass firings across federal agencies are illegal without Congress's approval and ordered a two-week pause.

Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened.

Actually, no. Fuck it. Cry because it's over.
