You have zero evidence that Google employee political leanings are tainting their searches. Only a preschooler makes unsupportable assertions.
Ill-informed righties like you will ALWAYS be disappointed when your searches don't support
your beliefs. And that's because 'search' doesn't give a shit about beliefs.
Google essential service is search, notwithstanding whatever else you think they do.
You're description ...run by people of the far right, programmed by people of the far right, administered by the far right,... fits FAUX News though.
That's a very weak cop out. I mentioned in my search that were several pages relating to the search, none contradicting my search question.
This is the old right boogeyman; 'they're hiding things from us'. OR, more likely, answers that you're hoping to find have no basis in fact.
Do you have evidence that Google chooses to make information unavailable?
Here's the bottom line, if you are ill-informed, misinformed, credulous, have a conspiracy theory orientation, then of COURSE you're not going to find corroboration for that misinformation and for those conspiracy theories.
The 'original content' was what you refused to believe I created. You said 'I know you didn't'. You cant have it both ways.
Drab? Sure, anything factual and science based that refutes your belief-centric conspiracy theory filled narratives is drab.
And the kind of articles I've posted in this thread have nothing to do with 'imagination'. Your posts on the other hand, filled with conclusion jumping, speculation and junk science? Nothing BUT imagination.
The subtext of this 'discussion', the salient point? It's impossible to keep track of the Orange Defendant's many indictments, trials & venues.😒
Sorry asshole, Google is simply a search engine. They don't write the articles that turn up in the searches.
Get it, you dense, undereducated, willfully ignorant, conspiracy theory mongering mfr?
Take your 'belief' in future reports and your anecdotal evidence....hint, NOT evidence....and your ignoring the 'learning point' in the very article you posted...The risk of VITT remains far lower than severe COVID-19, therefore, the benefit of vaccination still exceeds the risks...... and shove all of it in the same place from which you retrieve your junk science based conclusions.
As for this? the RISK of GETTING COVID goes up with each shot because of what the jabs
are doing to the immune system.
Let's see what peer review does to it. My experience? I had my 7th Covid shot since '21 last Tue.
No doctors have warned me off for the speculative reason you've cited. Your willingness to believe it is laughable.
Now, post the f'ing Japanese report.
I've discussed the subject before in other posts. Again, MY words are unitalicized. The NPR article IS italicized to distinguish it from my words.
'4 hours researching'? WTF?! I Google searched using search words I've used before and found a well corroborated article that supports my point. 20 seconds, that's all. There were pages of the Google search containing articles making the same points.
So NO plagiarism, rather attribution. And what do you have to say about the content of the NPR article, which I did not f''ing write?
As usual, you junk science preaching antivaxxer, you buried the lead.
Learning points
This case should alert healthcare providers to the possibility of fatal complications of vaccine-induced immune thrombocytopaenia and thrombosis (VITT) after COVID-19 vaccination estimated to occur in up to 29% of patients with VITT.
The high mortality rate associated with VITT may decrease with earlier recognition and improved intervention.
The risk of VITT remains far lower than severe COVID-19, therefore, the benefit of vaccination still exceeds the risks.
I thought 'that's counterintuitive, bet the GOP Congress played a part in it'. Should have occurred to you too.
The Party of business, recessions and the Great Depression, you had to suspect would be trying to hamstring the IRS auditing capabilities even though increasing revenue, rightfully recovered from tax cheats, IS a debt reducer.
As IRS audits waned, big businesses racked up unapproved tax breaks
Corporations have claimed more ‘uncertain’ tax breaks in recent years, as IRS budget cuts have weakened the government’s ability to challenge them
https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/07/14/corporate-tax-break-irs/
In the past, the Internal Revenue Service audited virtually every tax return filed by large corporations and rejected tax breaks it deemed inappropriate, data show.
But during the Obama administration, congressional Republicans moved to slash the IRS budget, shrinking the agency’s staff and straining its ability to conduct audits. As a result, the federal government now examines just half of all large company tax returns, despite businesses claiming increasing tax benefits over this period that they say could be overturned by authorities, according to regulatory filings, interviews with tax policy experts and data from the IRS and financial researcher Calcbench.
The reduction in the IRS budget — largely the result of GOP hostility toward the agency — sapped the federal government of corporate tax revenue, researchers have found. With fewer audits, some tax breaks are never reviewed before the statute of limitations expires and businesses claim the savings on their earnings statements.
President Biden has proposed boosting IRS funding as part of an effort to increase U.S. tax revenue, an idea now at the heart of bipartisan efforts to raise money for federal infrastructure spending. Tax policy experts think more aggressive IRS enforcement — including new staff, training, increased reporting requirements and modern technology — could help the agency close the gap between what people pay and what they owe.
Charles P. Rettig, the IRS commissioner appointed by President Donald Trump who is still serving in that role under Biden, acknowledged in Senate testimony last month that the agency needs more resources to go after corporations and wealthy individuals who avoid paying taxes. A spokesman for the agency declined to answer questions about tax enforcement at individual companies.

Every f'ing unitalicized word in that post is mine. Anyone who has read my posts is, unsurprised. So, you don't know jack 💩.
You DO know that you can read any poster's 'latest posts' though, right?
No, what WAS weak was Trump's disastrous decision to downplay the pandemic, riff on junk science remedies that he pulled from his XXXL sized ass, hold super spreader rallies, catch Covid and tell his moronic voters not to vote by mail, which insured that the smart voters who did had their votes counted after the in person voting, leading the orange jerk to launch his bullshit stop the steal campaign leading directly to the 1/6 attempt to overturn the election, and over 800 treason weasels arrested, 200 + convicted of felonies so far.
THAT is what weak 💩 looks like, dickhead.
That's another thing, the right ALWAYS believes something is being suppressed, something is being hidden.
The clinical data is out there. The FDA routinely pulls lethal pharmaceuticals from the markets. They REQUIRE that the TV ads mention the worst side effects no matter how few incidences have been reported. Yeah, I'm appalled by the list too. But, risks/benefits.

Republicans' excess death rate spiked after COVID-19 vaccines arrived, a study says
JULY 25, 20232:17 PM ET
https://www.npr.org/2023/07/25/1189939229/covid-deaths-democrats-republicans-gap-study
New findings join other reviews of politics and the pandemic
In late 2021, an NPR analysis found that after May of that year — a timeframe that overlaps the vaccine availability cited in the new study — people in counties that voted strongly for Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election were "nearly three times as likely to die from COVID-19" as people in pro-Biden counties.
"An unvaccinated person is three times as likely to lean Republican as they are to lean Democrat," as Liz Hamel, vice president of public opinion and survey research at the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation, told NPR.
Even before vaccines were widely accessible, researchers were working to quantify the effects of vastly divergent COVID-19 policies across U.S. states.
A widely cited study from early 2021 found that in the early months of the pandemic's official start date in March 2020, states with Republican governors saw lower COVID-19 case numbers and death rates than Democratic-led states. But the trend reversed around the middle of 2020, as Republican governors were less likely to institute controls such as stay-at-home orders and face mask requirements.
"Future policy decisions should be guided by public health considerations rather than by political ideology," said the authors of that study, which was selected as the article of the year by the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.

Uh-0h. There's more trouble at Dogkiller Base.
https://www.politico.com/news/2024/05/03/kristi-noem-book-excerpt-nikki-haley-dog-00155925
First came Noem’s disclosure about shooting and killing her 14-month-old wirehair pointer, Cricket, for misbehaving. Then, just as the dog-killing news cycle was cresting, the Dakota Scout reported on an anecdote in “No Going Back” that on its face is highly improbable: Noem’s claim that she met with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un while serving as a back-bencher in Congress.
“Through my tenure on the House Armed Services Committee,” Noem wrote, “I had the chance to travel to many countries to meet with world leaders. I remember when I met with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. I’m sure he underestimated me, having no clue about my experience staring down little tyrants (I’d been a children’s pastor, after all).”
Noem's spokesman took time out from updating his resume to cop to the charge.
Noem’s spokesperson, Ian Fury, seemed to concede that the Kim story was false Thursday night: “We’ve been made aware that the publisher will be addressing conflated world leaders’ names in the book before it is released.”
The book also contains a fanciful tale of Noem's facing down the insidious blandishments of...Nikki Haley?
https://www.thedakotascout.com/p/gov-kristi-noems-account-of-meeting
“After what seemed to me a bit of an awkward pause, she added, ‘I … just … also want you to know one more thing … I’ve heard a lot of really good things about you. But I also want you to know that if I hear something bad … I will be sure to let you know.’
“There was a long pause. “‘Um, well, thanks for that, Ambassador.’
“‘Let me be clear,’ she added. ‘I’ve heard many good things about you. But when I do hear bad things, I will make sure that you know. I’ve enjoyed talking to you. We will visit soon. Goodbye.’ Click.”
In the book, Noem recounts feeling the cold, clammy hand of political threat reaching up to South Dakota from South Carolina. She talks to an aide.
“‘Yeah, I’m pretty sure I was just threatened by Nikki Haley. It was clear that she wanted me to know that there was only room for one Republican woman in the spotlight. It was weird.’ “Unsurprisingly, I never received any calls or ‘mentoring’ from her, but the message was clear. I’m the alpha female here, and you should know your place. I actually felt a little sad for her.”
According to Haley's camp, this encounter also was the sheerest moonshine.
“Nikki has long called and written notes supporting other women when they go through challenging times,” Denton said. “She called Governor Noem in 2020 to encourage her when she was criticized for keeping her state open during Covid. How she would twist that into a threat is just plain weird.”
And, on the other side of the rainbow bridge, Cricket—and the goat—look down and see Kristi Noem's political career slouching slowly toward the gravel pit.

And you don't have EVEN have a 5th grade hillbilly education. Amazing how the common thread in the poorly educated 💩 heads like you is that everyone else is indoctrinated. That is the lament of the uneducated everywhere and it is pure f'ing projection, the ONLY thing you nitwits are proficient at.
Now what about the 39% of the GOP who DON'T say a change in leadership would shift their views? Sounds like the Dems have some Trumpanzees they can work with.
Even the 13% of Dems who feel that way are not going to vote for the fat orange f'k who blew the pandemic response and left women with less freedom than they had. You think the abortion issue is going away? the GOP Taliban is f'kd.
About 6 in 10 Republicans (61%) who say the economy is in bad shape say a change in leadership would shift their views, compared with 13% of Democrats who feel that way.
'He attributes', you credulous f'ing loon. You anti-vaxxers are just full of anecdotes that fall far short of clinical evidence.
No, Biden wants to do no such thing. Yet more Trumpanzee misinformation and hysteria. The Party of junk science is scared💩less that they won't be able to end run public health measures in the next pandemic with their next iterations of ivermectin, disinfectants, light and whatever other snake oil nostrums their conspiracy theory morons can concoct.
Actually, red states will be free to kill their citizens in sufficient numbers to lose future elections, just as they did so beautifully in '20. 🤧🚑️
AP FACT CHECK
WHO ‘pandemic treaty’ draft doesn’t sign over US sovereignty
BY SOPHIA TULP
Published 1:45 PM CDT, February 24, 2023
https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-world-health-organization-pandemic-treaty-212446302001
CLAIM: A legally-binding World Health Organization “pandemic treaty” will give the organization the authority to control U.S. policies during a pandemic, including those on vaccines, lockdowns, school closures and more.
AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. The voluntary treaty, which is in draft form and is still far away from ratification, does not overrule any nation’s ability to pass individual pandemic-related policies, multiple experts, including one involved in the draft process, told The Associated Press.
The treaty lays out broad recommendations related to international cooperation on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response. Nowhere in the 30-page document are lockdowns, closures or specific citizen surveillance systems mentioned.
THE FACTS: As the WHO meets on Monday to discuss the first draft of the treaty, social media users are misrepresenting the scope of the document to suggest signing onto it would cede U.S. rights to the international body.
“Biden is about to give the China-controlled W.H.O. power to control the United States. This will cover lockdowns, supply chains, surveillance, and ‘false news’,” claimed one Instagram post referring to the treaty draft.
READ MORE
Conservative blogs and commentators also shared misleading information about what kind of actions the treaty would trigger.
“The Biden administration is in the process of finalizing a deal that would give the WHO near-total authority to dictate America’s policies during a pandemic,” read the caption of an Instagram post by The Epoch Times, which continued: “This includes vaccine policies, lockdown policies, school closure policies, the contact tracing of U.S. citizens, and even the monitoring of online speech if that speech goes against the official narrative.”
But this interpretation of what the treaty would do is incorrect, multiple experts agree.
“These claims are utterly false,” said Lawrence Gostin, a Georgetown University law professor and director of the university’s WHO Collaborating Center on National and Global Health Law. He’s been involved in the treaty’s draft process.
“The United States retains sovereignty to set its own domestic public health policies,” he added. “WHO does not gain any power to override domestic policy decisions.”
The draft, also called a “zero draft,” is designed to protect the world from future pandemics, according to the WHO. Beginning Feb. 27, the World Health Assembly’s intergovernmental negotiating body will have a chance to review the initial document. The first reading of the draft will also be open to all 194 WHO member states.
The text lays out a vision for building greater equity and effectiveness in pandemic prevention, preparedness and response across the globe through international cooperation. It encourages parties to develop a mechanism to ensure equitable allocation of pandemic-related products such as vaccines and tests while committing to quick and transparent reporting of clinical research and trial results, sharing of information on emerging health threats and recognition of WHO as the coordination authority on international health work
However, it does not overrule any nations’ individual health or domestic policies, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services confirmed in a statement to the AP.
“It is false to claim that the World Health Organization has now, or will have by virtue of these activities, any authority to direct U.S. health policy or national health emergency response actions,” the agency wrote. “The WHO has no such enforcement mechanisms, and its non-binding recommendations to member states are just that: non-binding. Any associated actions at the national level will remain reserved to sovereign states, including the United States.”
In fact, the first line of the draft states: “Reaffirming the principle of sovereignty of States Parties in addressing public health matters, notably pandemic prevention, preparedness, response and health systems recovery.”
And a separate section of the draft labeled “Sovereignty” clearly says that states have “the sovereign right to determine and manage their approach to public health, notably pandemic prevention, preparedness, response and recovery of health systems, pursuant to their own policies and legislation, provided that activities within their jurisdiction or control do not cause damage to their peoples and other countries.”
Nowhere in the 30-page document are the words lockdown, closures, contact tracing or online speech mentioned, nor are mentions of specific citizen surveillance systems.
Further, while the treaty, if ratified, would be considered a legally-binding document, there are effectively no legal consequences for signatories who fail to adhere to it or violate its terms, experts said. The WHO has no enforcement power to levy consequences over the document, other than largely symbolic actions akin to an international “slap on the wrist,” said Dr. David Freedman, professor emeritus of infectious diseases at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, who also served on a separate WHO committee of experts for a decade.
Gostin agreed that there are no compliance mechanisms written into the draft, and the provisions are about international obligations, not domestic policy. Most of the treaty language is framed as things the signatories “should” do, rather than “must” do, he added.
Freedman also emphasized that the draft does not use “mandatory language,” but rather encouragements or recommendations.
“It should be noted that the US is far from agreeing to sign the Pandemic Treaty, and it will take many months, or longer, even to negotiate a text,” Gostin said, adding, “Even if the United States signs the treaty, it would not empower WHO to make any public health decisions in the US or in any other country.”
Dr. James LeDuc, a professor at the University of Texas Medical Branch who served on a separate WHO committee that assessed parts of the international COVID-19 response, noted that the draft would likely undergo many revisions over what could be a multi-year process, if passed at all.
“Hopefully the draft zero of the proposed treaty will encourage a robust international dialogue; however, reaching agreement among 194 independent nations will likely be a very long process,” he wrote in an email.
No, but I will tell you that you're a hyper-partisan, hyperbolic, economically illiterate piece of💩 incapable of criical thinking or any semblance of objectivity. The metrics I gave you are accurate and any GOP president would be bragging on them and on those below..
As for not 'feeling it'? That's mostly ignorant Trumpanzees whose longing for the return of Orange Hitler has made them even MORE stupid, if that's possible. F'k your feelings, snowflakes.
To the surprise of the Fed and most economists, the progress against inflation has so far been accomplished without causing much economic pain. The unemployment has come in below 4% for 24 straight months, longest such streak since the booming 1960s. And employers have been adding a healthy average of 244,000 jobs a month over the past year, including more than 300,000 in both December and January.
American households are largely in good financial shape, allowing consumers to spend. And businesses have improved productivity by using automation and finding ways to make employees work more efficiently.
The combination of easing inflation and sturdy hiring and GDP growth has raised hopes the Fed can pull off a rare “soft landing’’ — vanquishing inflation without causing a recession.
“We think growth will slow but will remain positive over coming quarters,’' said Rubeela Farooqi, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics. But the economy is likely to get a lift, she said, from Fed rate cuts later this year. The central bank has signaled that it expects to cut its benchmark rate three times in 2024.
Wednesday’s report was the second of three Commerce Department estimates of fourth-quarter GDP growth. The final revision comes out March 28.

Economic performance is stronger when Democrats hold the White House
By Josh Bivens • April 2, 2024

Overview • Read the Report
Summary: The economy performs much better during Democratic presidential administrations than during Republican ones.
Key findings
Since 1949, there has been a Democratic advantage in the average performance of key macroeconomic indicators measuring economic health, including:
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth
Job growth
Unemployment rate
Growth in inflation-adjusted wages
Growth of market-based incomes per capita
Inflation
Interest rates
This Democratic advantage is across the board in all variables we measure but strongest in private-sector outcomes—notably, business investment, job growth, and the growth of market-based incomes.
Household income growth (adjusted for inflation) was faster on average and far more equal during Democratic administrations, and the Democratic advantage shows up for every group.
Refuted by, the ACA, Infrastructure and Chips and Science Bills and by more new jobs under every Dem President as far back as Clinton. Also, ONLY one Party resorts to gov shutdown threats in order to secure spending cuts, something they NEVER impose on the presidents from their own Party to secure cuts in the spending that they authorized. Your spending bad, my spending good, say Republican Tarzan.
A more comprehensive take on the same argument I've put forth.

No economy sucks with positive GDP, low unemployment, continued employment growth and a healthy stock market.
And NO GOPER would argue such if all of that pertained under a GOP president.
if you would only apply the same standards to both Parties, well, you'd have nothing to post about any more.
Straw man argument, no one argues such. You CAN spend your way out of a recession. Dems have had a LOT of practice, for obvious reasons.
However you can't cut taxes, keep on spending and reduce debt and deficits, though the GOP continues to try.
Not a single commie, you ignorant treason weasel. Proud Boys and free range Trumpanzees ONLY.

“At this stage, [Kennedy’s] appeal looks to be more with Trump than Biden voters,” said Democratic pollster Jeff Horwitt, who conducted the NBC News poll with Republican pollster Bill McInturff.

Millions Cancel Subscriptions to National Enquirer After Learning Its Stories May Not be True
NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—In a development that has rocked the news industry, The National Enquirer has lost millions of subscribers amid revelations that some of its stories might not be factual.
After Donald J. Trump’s hush money trial exposed the Enquirer’s inner workings, the newspaper’s reputation for unimpeachable journalism suffered a severe blow, media insiders say. Harland Dorrinson, an Enquirer subscriber for over thirty years, said discovering that the weekly periodical was not a dependable information source was “a gut punch.” “In a complex and confusing world, I always felt that there was one news outlet that could make sense of it all,” he said. “That’s been stolen from me.”
If the Enquirer distorted its coverage to support Trump’s election in 2016, Dorrinson wondered, “Does that mean Hillary Clinton wasn’t really dying? Or that she didn’t delete emails from her multiple lesbian lovers? Or that Bill Clinton didn’t have a sex romp in a pickup truck that was caught on video? Now I don’t know what to believe.”
The longtime subscriber said that the Enquirer’s sudden loss of credibility would force him to seek reliable reporting elsewhere, adding, “I guess I’ll give Fox a shot.”

Trump is about to face trial on criminal hush money charges. Here’s what to know
PUBLISHED THU, APR 11 20245:10 PM EDTUPDATED TUE, APR 16 20249:16 AM EDT
https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/11/trump-to-face-trial-criminal-hush-money-charges-what-to-know.html
POINTS
Donald Trump is set to become the first former president ever to face trial on felony charges.
Trump is accused in New York Supreme Court of falsifying business records as part of a scheme to conceal a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels.
Falsifying business records in the first degree is a Class E felony that carries a maximum sentence of four years in prison. But the sentence a defendant ultimately receives is often far below the maximum, and Trump’s age and lack of a prior conviction could also play in his favor in any potential sentencing decision.
His antagonism toward presiding Judge Merchan and others related to the case — including the judge’s daughter — may work against him, however.
“I think there is a substantial risk that he will be convicted and that he will face a sentence of incarceration,” said Norm Eisen, a legal analyst who aided House Democrats during Trump’s first impeachment, in a press briefing Thursday previewing the hush money trial.
“When you have the falsification of business records that is intended to aid, conceal or commit serious crimes, that receives sentences of jail time regularly,” Eisen said.
Trump can continue to run for office even if he is convicted and jailed.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg accuses Trump of using a “catch and kill” tactic to hide negative information about him from voters ahead of the 2016 presidential election.
The trial was originally scheduled to start March 25, but it was delayed until Monday to give Trump’s team time to look at some recently acquired documents.
Well remember that the prosecution summary will almost certainly attempt to tie elements of the case together, identifying what is pertinent and what is irrelevant.
Trump's lawyers did not appeal the merits, rather the defamation verdict. He lost that appeal.
Sorry, but it has been adjudicated and Trump lost bigly. Go, pound sand up your ass.
Learn how to read for comprehension. The award was for Trump defaming her by denying he sexually assaulted her, which is what he WAS convicted of.
WTF are you talking about, asshole? I didn't see any links to that rag in the post you're responding too.
Are you confusing it with the the trial where Trump paid for that publication to 'catch and kill' Trump's infidelities?
So to a moral imbecile like you the following is a good outcome for Trump?
On May 9, 2023, a New York jury in civil case found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation against Carroll, but found him not liable for rape by the New York state definition. They awarded Carroll $5 million in damages.
You'd lose your shit if just the names were changed to Joe or Hunter.
Trump Trial Week Two: Still Sleepy, Still Cold, Still a Rapist

At the risk of repeating myself, adjudicated rapist/GOP presidential nominee Donald J. Trump spent the week napping through his felony trial, though rumors of farting in his sleep are just rumors and democracy dies in darkness so we must assume he is only napping and not necessarily farting the important thing is that he’s COLD.
https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4623680-trump-courthouse-kept-cold-on-purpose/
Him is a sweepy, chiwwy wapist. Poow wapist. Poow authowotawian wapi-okay, I’ll stop.
The point is, we’re dealing with not just a known rapist but a wannabe autocrat. (I confess I am leaning Biden at this point.)
Time Magazine took us on a harrowing, Apocalypse Now But With Cheap Bronzer expedition through the eighty-eight remaining brittle neurons that constitute the Dotard’s almost visibly deteriorating brain, and what conclusion could you possibly draw but…the horror?
The closest thing to a coherent ideology amounts, more or less, to “whatever the weirdos who show up to the rallies want so long as I stay out of prison and also nobody ever gets to tell me no and Daddy finally admits I’m not a loser and maybe says I love you just once real quiet nobody else would have to hear or anything.”
Turns out, during those long courtroom naps, the sloppy old fop’s been dreaming of deploying the military to conduct mass deportations. Of detention camps. Of granting Christofascist wet dreams like allowing the state to monitor pregnancies in case any of those uppity sluts/whores/jezebels get to thinkin’ they possess some sort of inalienable right to bodily autonomy or somethin’.
This power, and more besides, must be granted to a man whose body is no longer capable of executing basic commands like Pronounce the Word “Infrastructure,” even with all the extra rest he’s been getting. He requires absolute legal immunity, partly for the fascism, but mainly for what he’s got planned if he ever gets those tiny, inadequate hands on whoever’s responsible for the thermostat in that courtroom.
At any rate, the sleep-farting God Emperor requires nine thousand more of your dollars, rubes, to pay the fines accrued for pathologically violating that gag order. You don’t even get an NFT this time, just the thrill of participating in a cornered thug’s latest attempt at witness intimidation.
Oh, and if anybody knows of a good accounting firm, the one Trump Social was using just got charged with fraud. Or a good lawyer, all of his are either attempting to withdraw, facing disbarment, or testifying against him while he naps.
Spinning off from the smash hit porn star hush money trial, Nobody Liked Michael Cohen debuts on C-SPAN this July. According to the press release, it’s “a zany political thriller/comedy of errors, depicting a sordid criminal conspiracy perpetrated by an immense cast of malicious galoots, seen through the eyes of the guy who somehow managed to be the biggest scumbag in the room.”
I guess Hope Hicks got sad on the stand because her boss committed so many crimes in front of her. It was always gonna end up in either the courtroom, or a thousand-year Reich, Hope, and since we’re talking about a guy who bankrupted a casino, well…
Sipping a room temperature Capri Sun, Bill Barr couldn’t repress a fond chuckle, reminiscing upon those heady days when Off-Brand Orbán would stumble about, hopped up on an Adderall/hydroxycholorquine cocktail West Wing staffers took to calling “Rudy’s hair dye,” ordering the executions of whoever had bruised his fragile ego last. Well I certainly understand why you’d endorse such a fine, upstanding fellow for President, Bill.
The puppy execution scandal roiling the Republican veepstakes finally filled the schadenfreude void that opened when Ron DeSantis slunk back to Florida. God bless Kristi Noem. Bless her dented, leaking brain, and the decisions she makes with it.
She truly believed this tale of puppicide would launch her national political career, leading perhaps all the way to the White House. And I get the thought process, frankly. The cruelty, as wiser folk have observed, is the whole dang point. Republican voters want cruel candidates. Candidates who will harm their percieved enemies. Candidates who would execute their smug libtard neighbors’ pets, perhaps, but not their own.
Still, the Cricket Had it Comin’ media tour has been can’t-miss comedy. I fancy myself a joke writer, but no man-made gag can compare with the natural beauty of this magnificent flameout colliding with Kimberly Guilfoyle’s promotional tour, for her children’s book…about a dog. That’s just God showing off.
“Hey, maybe it was a plot by deep state editors to make people THINK Kristi Noem executed a puppy when she really didn’t,” mused Kimberly Freaking Guilfoyle of All People, as Noem frantically concocted ever wilder tales to justify her crime.
The dog was putting rainbow fentanyl in the children’s Halloween bags, you see. Anyway, the whole thing was staged, in front of Kim Jong-un, to intimidate him into never fucking with America cuz we’re all puppy-killing psychos, and looking around, I think you have to admit it worked. Kristi’s the whole reason you’re not speaking North Korean right now. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/noem-backpedals-anecdote-book-meeting-kim-jong/story?id=109909803
I hear Paul Gosar is kinda fiddling with a story about this dentist that offs beagles with novocaine, but he’s not sure if it’s a novella or a podcast yet.
A bipartisan group of lawmakers came together as the Congressional Dog Lovers Caucus, proposing billions to fund an Underground Railroad-like endeavor to evacuate all canine life from both Dakotas just to be safe, sorry Doug Bugman or whatever your name is. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/05/02/noem-dog-caucus-congress-00155721
Even Willard got his weekly one-liner in. Could pointing and laughing at Kristi Noem unify our broken nation? We need to be asking ourselves these tough questions, friends.
Here’s another one:
When Ron DeSantis bends the knee, are there like, lifts in the knee pads?

I think Marjorie Taylor Greene liked things better when the Speaker of the House slept curled up inside a matchbox she kept in her bedside table. Now she’s all mad the uniparty vetoed her plan to replace the Whatchamacallits in the Capitol rotunda vending machines with individually wrapped bologna slices, so she called a press conference, alongside the guy Jacob Wohl said was banging Elizabeth Warren, a pet rock allegedly containing JFK Jr.’s soul, and Thomas Massie, to announce plans to waste a little more of everyone’s time next week. No wonder she’s making so many friends. https://www.thedailybeast.com/mtg-says-shell-force-doomed-vote-to-oust-mike-johnson-next-week
I guess Kevin McCarthy finally found a champion to defend his honor in the arena against Matt Gaetz, or at least to primary the little creep. I know we’re focused on Ukraine right now, but I’d hate to see this particular circular firing squad die down for lack of ammunition. If nothing else, somebody toss these two a single, rusty fork.
Seems Texas Congresscreep Troy Nehls may’ve stolen an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bit of valor. Gosh, and he seemed so honorable. Except for that time he got fired from that police department for “20 violations in just over a year, including destroying evidence, making an improper arrest and disobeying orders,” of course. Oh, and that time he participated in that plot to overturn that one presidential election.

Arizona Republicans selected a freshly indicted fake elector and a QAnon-spewing former state representative who was expelled from office for ethics violations to represent them on the RNC, where they will play tambourine and go-go dance in Lara Trump’s blasphemous Tom Petty cover band, while also attempting to end democracy in the United States. https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/29/politics/jake-hoffman-indicted-fake-elector-arizona-gop-rnc/index.html
Vivek Ramaswamy says the Founding Fathers are waiting in the afterlife to judge us, and I’m not gonna lie, that sounds kinda hot. Suddenly overwhelmed by the urge to get somebody to handcuff me to the bed, put on a powdered wig, and read me Thomas Paine till I beg for mercy.

Speaking of politically themed sex acts, I just read the headline “J.D. Vance Goes Full Memory Hole With Claim About Mike Pence On Jan. 6,” which conjured an image that’d make Hieronymus Bosch slap me. Regardless, as one of the GOP’s most craven Trump enablers, Vance doesn’t deserve to get “memory holed,” whatever that may entail, ever, even if he pays for it. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/jd-vance-donald-trump-mike-pence_n_66335cace4b0849b2ede59e3
According to the Wall Street Journal, the culture on RFK Jr.’s potentially world-wrecking spoiler campaign runs a little on the “cultlike” side. I refuse to believe it. The blithering anti-vax kook attracted a small army of malcontents with emotional problems? Gosh, I thought I knew a thing or two about human nature, but…I’m gonna have to really rethink some stuff, y’know? “Cultlike.” Golly. https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/rfk-junior-campaign-staff-cb17cf42
Mega-smart super-genius Elon Musk finally reversed the historic failure of his disastrous acquisition of Twitter; turns out all the joint needed was one more yapping Nazi incel, and now that Nick Fuentes has his platform back, it’s literally raining money. I’ll leave you to the long line of advertisers begging to be taken back, Mr. Genius, sir.
https://www.axios.com/2024/05/03/elon-musk-nick-fuentes-x-account
Young Nick’s getting normalized all over the place these days, if his boasts about infiltrating Charlie Kirk’s brownshirt bureaucrat temp agency are to be believed. You know, it might be a good idea to keep the American Right away from the levers of power for a spell.
Actually…y’know what? I’m finally convinced. Longtime readers would characterize this blog as staunchly anti-Trump, but somewhere around the eighth or ninth time he waddled out to whine about the temperature, I finally saw a personality worth building a cult around. It’s suddenly so clear to me: IT’S TOO COLD. Only by warming this one specific rapist can we hope to restore American greatness.

And if I’m gonna go MAGA, I’m gonna need EVEN MORE BEER, to kill off all those brain cells.
