An Embarrassment of Embarrassments



We are in embarrassing and enraging times. We'll look at it all in today's News Digest.

The Embarrassing Court Jester Presiding over a War
He's not a king. He's just a joker and he "doesn't have the cards."   

We're more than four weeks into this stupid war with no end in sight. Over the last four weeks he has been all over the map. 

The war has been won; the war is almost won; the Strait of Hormuz better not dang close; the Strait of Hormuz better dang open; please, allies who I've insulted to no end, help me open the Strait of Hormuz; Hey Allies! Go get your own oil! Losers! 

And most shocking but not surprising: I'll do war crimes if I don't get my way!

I would post the not-tweets here, but it's exhausting and stupid and he is such a child. 

Iran has even issued statements contradicting his lies. What an embarrassment.

Our European allies are not pleased. Spain closed its airspace and Italy closed their air base to U.S. aircraft. How long will our allies remain allies? He keeps threatening to leave NATO. At this point, maybe NATO would be glad to have the U.S. gone. 

He gave a 19-minute nonsensical address to the nation on Wednesday, April 1, cementing his title of April Fool. Here it is if you can stomach it.

What did anyone expect? It was exactly what we expected. He was bored; the address was boring; there was nothing new. It was just his usual lies, contradictions, and threats. He threatened war crimes.

He was breathing heavy, having difficulty reading the teleprompter, making speech errors, and slurring his way through the idiocy. 

Which of his handlers thought this was a good idea? Must've been puppet master Stephen Miller, who probably wrote the winning speech and wanted to hear it in all it's slurry glory.

After the speech, stock market futures tanked immediately and oil prices spiked. I have no doubt that he is purposely manipulating the stock market with each of his announcements. 

Look at this: stock trades spiked before the war announcement.



Futures spiked when he lied about talks with Iran, only to tank again when Iran told the truth of the matter:


And then after his nonsense "address to the nation" on April Fool's Day:
I don't need to tell you that when oil prices spike, the price of everything spikes. 

Infuriating. Two aircraft, a F-15E jet fighter and an A-10 combat plane, were shot down. These are the first military aircraft shot down in 20 years.

Two of the three crew members were rescued, but the second pilot of the fighter has not been found. Iran is looking for them too. 

It's been a few days, and not one word from the Conmaster-in-Chief about the pilots.

Instead we get this shite:




"Glory be to God" is what religious extremists shout when they do atrocities


In my search of nonTweets about the pilots, I found this from last year. He can't even speel his name write. What a moroon!


The Embarrassing Obsession Over the Ballroom
A war-with-no-end-in-sight is raging in Iran, with all the war horrors that go with it, plus prices are spiking here at home. 

And what does he do? He shows off sketches of ballroom plans on Hair Farce One, with the requisite blabber of lies.



Architects are blasting the grotesque plans

A federal judge ordered the halt to construction. Bush II appointee U.S. District Judge Richard Leon wrote, "The President of the United States is the steward of the White House for future generations of First Families. He is not, however, the owner!"

Baby was not happy. Lucky for him he got his pacifier back and the approval was granted from an orange-friendly committee (whose chair is Whitesupremacy House staff secretary). Plans went ahead a couple days after the stoppage. 


The Embarrassing 250th Birthday
Who feels like celebrating?

We're dejected and embarrassed at our country, who is a shell of itself. This is NOT what the founders envisioned 250 years ago.

I used to tear up with a full heart at hearing Neil Diamond's "America," which celebrates the promise of the Beacon on the Hill. Now, I cry with sadness when I hear it. 

I don't feel like celebrating. 

The Embarrassing Dementia Symptoms
Oh golly, there are a lot; it's hard to keep up with.

He is confabulating a lot. Confabulation is when a neurologically impaired patient no longer has a grasp on reality. They fill in their missing knowledge and memories with lies that they believe. There is no intention to the lie; they do not mean to deceive. They believe the lies that their diminished brain is making up. 

Compounding this idiot's confabulation is that he is a lifelong habitual liar, so all of his lies swirl about together. He lies as often as he draws breath. You can guess that he is confabulating when there is simply no need to lie or when it's about something completely inconsequential. This kind of lie doesn't further any goal. Or, when it's easily verifiable. A confabulation is just plain nonsense. 

Like these:
  • The conversation with a past president:
Every living past president quickly denied ever having such a conversation. 

  • The Sharpie riff at a Cabinet meeting. Here is about half of the 5-minute-long confabulation about Sharpies. The Sharpie company denies ever having such a conversation.

  • President Xi conversation. I don't know if this is true or not, but it sounds ridic. Factchecking showed that he could be talking about the late-2025 "deal" he made, shown to have no evidence of ever happening? Confabulation or commonplace lie? Your call.

  • The imaginary conversation with the Toyota "owner."

None of this is true. Dementia Don is perhaps conflating members of the Toyoda family. There's Shoichiro Toyoda, served as Toyota's chairman for several years in the 1990s and who died in 2023 at the age of 97 and Akio Toyoda, his son, who took over as chairman for the company in 2023 at the age of 67. Toyota denies a $10 billion investment.

His disinhibition is also ramping up. Dishinibition is kind of the opposite of confabulation. Disinhibition is when the neurologically impaired patient accidentally blurts out the truth, or says or does things that he would normally inhibit. Very often the disinhibited statements and actions are about sex.

Now, again, we have a malignant narcissist sexual predator psychopath who does not feel much emotion at all, let alone empathy for another. We have his innate callousness, which has caused him to say and do horrible things in his "normal state," which underlies his increasing disinhibition arising from his increasing dementia. Again, his typical behavior is swirling around with his increasingly failing brain function.

Like these comments, all of which took place in very serious political settings.



 

This non-tweet about Robert Mueller's death:

And this accidentally telling the truth. Notice his difficulty managing his saliva in the below video, too.


"She has to be of age. Like above six years old."


This gawd-awful exchange, talking about a Member of Congress's terminal diagnosis. "He'll be dead by June."


He's often plain ol' confused, like this name mix-up. He had to be corrected by his Chief of Staff Susie Wiles:


And what the fresh frontier hell is this?


The Embarrassing Corruption
Corruption abounds, both surrounding the war and everything else. 

Speaking of mail-in ballots, California had an alarming number of late ballots arriving after the vote on Proposition 5, more than four times the average. It's due to changing Postal Service policies. They are picking up mail from rural areas less often, and they do not guarantee that your mail will be postmarked the day it is received. Spread the word. If voters are to mail in their ballots, they must do it well in advance of Election Day.
  • Brendan Carr and the FCC continues their Rampage of Corruption, threatening broadcasting licenses if the broadcasters don't report the way the regime wants them to report.

  • After the No Kings Rally last Saturday, Kid Rockhead got a visit at his Nashville home by a couple of Apache helicopters. The washed up has-been MAGAt posted videos of the stunt, with him standing poolside, saluting the pilots (click the link in the box below; it must be watched on YouTube).

As you would expect and would want, the Army launched an investigation into the stunt and suspended the pilots. Yes. This was right. The flyby was a waste of resources, an unnecessary stunt that carried risks, and was an abuse of power, plain and simple. 

And as you would expect and not want, Kommendant Kegsbreath called off the investigation and thanked Kid Rock, saying, "Pilots suspension LIFTED. No punishment. No investigation. Carry on, patriots."

Disgusting.
  • Lastly, the Corrupter-in-Chief
This one just about flew under the radar. A huge story that barely gets a blip because of all the rest of the shit nuggets that fly at us every day.

Here is the statement from the House Judiciary Committee. Some of the documents found in the bathroom were so sensitive that only six people on Earth had authorization to view them. 


The Embarrassing Sycophants
In the world of embarrassing, enraging, and dangerous sycophants, Mike Johnson is chief among them. 

Get this: he jumped on the bandwagon of awarding a Golden Fake Award to Der Füror. 


Can we just stop with the North Korea-level shit, please? It's just embarrassing.


This über-loyal sycophant got the can. So long to the Great Bondissimo, with the amazing ability to make every Epstein file disappear! Ding dong, the snide, sarcastic, insulting, and completely inept wicked witch is gone.

(Side note: I hate to demean women. So I pause at my keyboard whenever I choose misogynistic language. There are some people for whom the language fits, though, and so here it is.) 


No matter what she did to please her master, this one could not hold on to her job. Mango Mussolini's reasoning? She didn't go after her political enemies hard enough. She did go after them, but couldn't get indictments because of the rest of the sane people in the judicial branch! 

She was universally hated. Bondi's photo ended up in the literal trash the day after she was shit-canned.

Fitting

The next one who was installed as acting A.G. is Todd Blanche, one-time personal attorney to SCROTUS and current chief ass-kisser. Blanche has point-blank said, "The Department of Justice has now released all the files with respect to the Epstein saga" and  that the files "should not be a part of anything going forward." He asserted that it is "really time for the country to get on to something else." 

We the People say...... wanna bet?

Rumored to be nominated as the permanent A.G: Lee Zeldin, current corrupt head of the E.P.A (he is a climate change denier). This effer has been a loyalist to end all loyalists (ha! tell that to Barbie Bondissimo!) and may be moved to A.G. where he will be very dangerous indeed. 

There are murmurings that Tulsi Gabbard and KKKaroline Leavitt, despite having both sold their souls to the devil, are next on the chopping block. 

Notice a pattern? You're not truly truly considered worthy unless you have a wiener. 

The Embarrassing Renamings
Ugh it makes me sick. First it was the Peace Institute, then the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, now the Palm Beach, Florida airport will bear his ugly name.

And now he wants his signature on every piece of paper money. This after he moved to put his likeness on a coin (to which there is a lawsuit pending). 

Rep. Jimmy Gomez (D-Calif.) has moved to block the Treasury from following through with the plan for the signature dealio.

It's all just really gross. 


Embarrassing Children Acting Big
When the TSA wasn't being paid due to the shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security, SCROTUS had the wise idea to send ICE Agents to airports to stand around and get paid for doing nothing, while the TSA agents who could afford to go to work without a check were working their tails off despite having no paycheck coming at payday. 
Here, my friends, are unmasked baby ICE agents. WTAF.



These little boys were in charge of gutting many of our institutions via DOGE. 


Listen to the embarrassing juvenile way these DOGE Bros answer questions. They have no clue in their yet-to-be-fully-formed brains.




The DOJ has been bleeding attorneys so badly that they have changed the hiring policy and are now allowing the hire of prosecutors straight out of law school. What could possibly go wrong?


The Embarrassing Ineptitude 
Melania and the Robot. What. The. Hell.

No (millennial-style vocal-fried) words.



Did you see this moment at CPAC?
Do you want to see impeachment hearings? 
Yayyyy! Yessss! Woooo!
By the way, that CPAC meeting was sparsely attended. The internet reamed them for having mostly-empty rooms. 

The acting head of ICE, Todd Lyons, has been hospitalized for stress twice. OK, I give this guy a pass. Not truly inept; he is simply human trying to survive the Upside Down.


Some ineptitude at a royal level was on display at the SCOTUS hearing for the birthright citizenship question.

This one little exchange showed how inept these people are. 

Justice Gorsuch: Do Native Americans have birth rights?
Regime Lawyer John Sauer: Ummmm. maybe? I don't know. I think probably? I'll have to think about it.


The Orange Menace himself sat in the front row for the arguments. No other president has ever sat for SCOTUS arguments. Why? Freaking separation of powers, that's why!

No other president has ever acted as a mob boss either. Nice Supreme Court you got here. It would be a shame if anything happened to it.


Not Embarrassing: Enraging

The Trumpstein Files
We are enraged and we are engaged. We're all waiting for a leak, or for someone from the DOJ to go to jail for contempt of Congress. 

The GOP: The Sexual Assault Party
Of course sexual assault is not committed by members of one party. But the headlines continue to blitz us with more and more of those on the right committing such crimes. They hate women, they want power over women, and so they assault women. And children.

Here's just a few of the recent headlines. 




Hegseth is embracing the Regime's racism and misogyny
He moved to block the promotions of two women and two Black men to the rank of general. Not only that, but he has reportedly stated that the Racist-in-Chief "would not want to stand next to a Black female officer at military events."


Not embarrassing or enraging or anything
Kristi Noem's husband wears women's clothes.

So what? It's embarrassing because the hypocrites say it's embarrassing. The rest of us don't give a flying eff about what he does in private. He can do what he wants with his own body.

Next. 


Positives
The Supreme Court appears skeptical of the Government's argument to do away with birthright citizenship. As they should be. It is as clear as can be in the Constitution. The first 28 words of the 14th Amendment read:
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

This is illustrative of their skepticism:

Chief Justice Roberts responded when John Sauer, the Regime's lawyer, said "We’re in a new world now." 

Roberts replied, "Well, it’s a new world. It’s the same Constitution."

We won't know until June how they rule. They better be 9-0!!

A Federal Judge Blocked defunding NPR and PBS. U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss ruled that the executive order violated First Amendment rights. No shit, Sherlock! Duhnold's rationale to cut their funding was because they are "left wing." 

The decision will likely be appealed, and so it is unclear what it means for all the radio and television stations in the real world.

You gotta love a golden toilet!


The primaries are interesting! Many state seats being flipped to Blue.


Miss Rachel is helping detained children. If you aren't familiar with Miss Rachel, just know she is toddler cocaine. 

Please read this article about Miss Rachel's friendship with some children detained at Texas's Dilley Immigration Processing Center, and her efforts to get them help.  


Charles Barkley used his fame and his platform as an announcer at the NCAA basketball tournament to call out ICE atrocities. Thank you, Resister Charles!

Resisters like this woman:



This wee resister:


And people like this hacker resister:


Delta: Resisters of the Skies
Delta Airlines suspended Congress's perks until TSA is funded. 

Their statement: 
"Due to the impact on resources from the longstanding government shutdown, Delta will temporarily suspend specialty services to members of Congress flying Delta. Next to safety, Delta’s No. 1 priority is taking care of our people and customers, which has become increasingly difficult in the current environment.

Score one for Delta. I'm on board! 



California and NM find Meta and Google liable for harm done to children
In New Mexico, Meta was found liable to the tune of $375 million. 

The next day, in California, a jury awarded a woman $6 million for the harm that social media caused her when she was younger. 


His approval numbers are tanking
His approval ratings are in a death spiral.

Here is an easy-to-read summary of many polls from the New York Times



Some MAGAts are starting to think for themselves
More and more younger MAGAts are expressing buyer's remorse

Ann Coulter and Empty Gee are both agreeing with us? What is happening?
