She says the comic, who was smoking pot and drinking screwdrivers, seemed extra desirous about her scoring cocaine than her services. So Amar rapidly makes use of her services as a call girl and pays her for a one-night stand earlier than she dies. That’s why, as a matter of...

The sponsors of campus speakers like Ann Coulter and Milo Yiannopoulos, Young America’s Foundation took on Pete Buttigieg, thinking that they were delivering trenchant criticism. Instead, they’ve revived the critical history of urban planning and design, now articulated by the Trump-jungend. Anyone who’s encountered urban elevated highways has experienced the social divisions...
Kitchen Table Kibitzing is a community series for those who wish to share a virtual kitchen table with other readers of Daily Kos who aren’t throwing pies at one another. Drop by to talk about music, your weather, your garden, or what you cooked for supper…. Newcomers may notice that...
You’d think that a scholar in psychology, however flawed, would understand projection, and that fascism is more than making trains run on time, even when they didn’t. Hail Hydra, because parody is meta-criticism and perhaps we’ll see some plagiarism lawfare over self-help brand infringement. Apparently Jordan Peterson got offended that...
Getting a personalized greeting from Donald John Trump is about on par with masticating Trump steak gristle or being spirited away to a Florida fen by a horde of Trump-branded bedbugs. It’s not for me, but hey, surely someone will bite. He may even be able to charge more than...
California Rep. Devin Nunes is famously suing the Twitter parody account @DevinNunesMom, but in real life, his mom does his fundraising committees’ FEC reports. It’s not that weird, of course. I mean, I don’t get it personally, but that could be because my mom’s voted for every GOP presidential candidate since...
Slowly we turn…. more Trump revelations ahead as his recorded talks with Putin are now available to Biden and Ukraine releases tapes of Giuliani hectoring them to investigate Biden. Then again there’s the distant hope that a vain Trump will be frustrated enough to testify before the Senate. Maybe a cat lawyer...
We are in that strange place where a respected rival gets to lead infrastructure change in a critical area of the US economy and a nutter in VA wants fascism. Darn Constitutional freedoms juxtaposed on the same day. Perhaps trains will run on time. President-elect Joe Biden has tapped former South Bend, Ind.,...
This actually started a couple of months ago in my fevered Black Irish mind. At the time, I was writing yet another of my seeming endless sarcastic, caustic articles about His Lowness, and just by happenstance, I took the title of a rather famous song. To be perfectly honest, that...
Merit-free futility: “Voters, not lawyers, choose the president,” the appeals court said. x “Voters, not lawyers, choose the President. Ballots, not briefs, decide elections.” — Third Circuit Court of Appeals REJECTS Trump campaign lawsuit in Pennsylvania as MERITLESS. Unanimous ruling. Opinion written by Judge Bibas, Trump appointee. https://t.co/ltUAVbKxJ2— Paula Chertok🗽...
Trump celebrated a month and 26 days of asshat amateurism left by having a one minute briefing and taking no questions at the White House, but claiming credit for the stock market record even as he had predicted a crash with a Biden victory. x The First Lady (right) at the...
You might think the really crazy tweet in this thread is the first one — in which an Alabama representative says his state is great because no one bows and scrapes before our ocher overlord as consistently and abjectly as his fellow ’Bamans. But you’d be wrong. Second tweet, if you...
Trump cares not to acknowledge that he was briefed on Russian bounties on US troops, much like the 150,000 COVID deaths exceeding war dead from the last century’s wars. These are why he will lose in November, but until then, he will worry about our knowing he’s had some mini-strokes...
Donald Trump’s reelection campaign has become a parody of itself. Trump may have screwed up our country’s pandemic response in every way imaginable. He may be presiding over the most disastrous economy in decades, with no end in sight to the financial hemorrhaging. He may be pouring most of his energy...
The dirtiest trick might be parody, especially as Roger Stone will get his federal sentence commuted by Trump even as history might be first tragedy, then repeated as farce. Perhaps Stone will get Trump’s face tattooed on his chest. The first draft of history or the revisionist, bowdlerized version of it,...
Jennifer Rubin gets a lot of flack here over the suspicion that she isn’t really on our side, she’s just against Trump, and will go back to screeching at us the way she screeches at him now. That’s possible, maybe even probable. But let’s not be so suspicious that we...
It couldn’t be the case that Devin Nunes suffered hardship because he did things that jeopardized the Republic. Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) cannot include Twitter in his lawsuit against two parody accounts and a Republican strategist he accuses of defaming him on the platform, a federal judge ruled Wednesday. Twitter cannot be...
Fox News, aside from photoshopping images from video and claiming that they are authentic stills, is simply run by idiots. Being devoid of journalistic ethics seems to be a feature in a Fox News propaganda operation unaware of boogaloos. Falling for stuff on Reddit is gravy. Apparently Fox News and the Daily...
More Trump lies in ABC interview, but he wants the ratings, because it’s Mourning in America. “There'll be more death, that the virus will pass, with or without a vaccine. And I think we're doing very well on the vaccines but, with or without a vaccine, it's going to pass,...
We don’t laugh very often during these grim times. So when the opportunity to heal your mind for a minute is good for the soul. Enjoy. That is exactly what I was thinking when I happened to watch this presser live. We all need some levity today. It’s been a...
Today’s Trump presser had a couple of lies today, which seems normal as he’s become rehearsed with his excuses and his usual projection. However he’s continuing to attack the WHO to draw blame from his 70 days of delay and denial, leading to the February and March COVID-19 spread in...
Because parody is meta-criticism, we now have meta-disinformation from Fox News. Doubtless this is timed to respond to Yamiche Alcindor’s questioning of IMPOTUS* at his rally-pressers. x Fox News' Diamond & Silk claim the number of coronavirus deaths are increasing to make Donald Trump look bad These two can't be...
If the sardonic parody of the title of this piece, were not so serious, it would be funny. The President of the United States by trade and some would say derisively, by heredity, is a huckster. He invented a bogus university, repackaged bottled water and steaks with his name on...
Wait, you mean HE WHO CANNOT BE NAMED?!?!?!?!? We’ve now reached Beyond Parody 2.0, folks. Or maybe Irony Is Dead Cubed. x Mulvaney says the press ought to be covering Trump’s relationship with his teenage son more. One of the few things that is agreed upon about the press corps...
American Jews and Blacks have a long complicated history. Jews have always been at the forefront of the civil rights movement, risking and sometimes losing their lives to help Blacks get the right to vote and other rights. On the other hand, there is a history of tension between Jewish...
Regardless, the North Koreans continue the work on ICBMs with nuclear capacity unabated by the coddling of Individual-1. x What exactly constitutes a “source familiar with the North Korean leadership's current mindset”? Did they plant a chip in Kim Jong Un's brain?https://t.co/fuIb8tPz3j — Jihye Lee ì´지Øœ (@TheJihyeLee) December 23, 2019...
T’was the night before Trumpmas, and down in Palm Beach An old fashioned holiday seemed out of reach The guests all stood silent, not touching the food As their host stormed around in a terrible mood He ranted and raged and he made quite a scene As he screamed how...
Because global hegemony needed a branding campaign in time for the debut of the latest Star Wars film. And the border wall got some direct funding. But with Space Force, and like other boondoggles, Trump “wanted a favor, though”, and remains a question to be asked in the 2020 campaign. x...
Republicans don’t do pop culture very well. Remember Mike “My Reproductive Organs Should be Declared an EPA Superfund Site” Huckabee doing a parody of Adele’s “Hello” during his 2016 presidential run/cringeworthy performance art piece? It, uh, wasn’t good. And now, courtesy of Donald Trump’s reelection campaign: x So you're arguing that Trump...
Jen Houston adds to the chorus of strong women trying to take down drumpf with this parody of Cyndi Lauper’s ‘Time After Time’. ‘Crime After Crime’. Props also to the lyricist Elliot Stein. Great job guys!
For my money, this is still the greatest paragraph ever written in the English — or likely any other — language. And, as you’ve probably already guessed, it’s from Stormy Daniels’ interview with InTouch: But he was a little distracted by the TV. “The strangest thing about that night — this...
You know, she’s absolutely right. It’s just hard to see at first glance because we’re so far down the rabbit hole already. x The front page of the NYT right now looks like one of those pre-election parodies about what a Trump administration would be like. pic.twitter.com/hyKwjvKROt — Michelle Goldberg...
As part of the ongoing project to catalog every awful thing the Trump Administration has done as a reference for future political arguments and whatever few posterity survives to see 2020, here’s everything awful the Trump Administration has done this week. ____________________________________________________________________________ 1414. Claimed the moon was part of Mars 1415. Moved...
If a conservative ever, ever, ever calls you a snowflake, show them this. (No, seriously, print it out, stick it in your wallet, give it to them, and just walk the fuck away.) Huffington Post: An annual Republican fundraising dinner in Fresno, California, featuring Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) has been...
Wow! I feel so, like, all Michael Schmidt and shit. Here I am, thousands of miles from Washington DC, and I have a legitimate scoop on my hands! Through a confidential source( he owes me $50) at the prestigious Bump-n-Grind Publishing House, I was able to get a sneak peek...
T'was the night before Trumpmas, and all through the town Not a creature was stirring, the place was shut down The lobbyists all drove around in their cars Since no one was in the congressional bars The Senate had fled, all those sly little foxes The House hallway held 40 stuffed...
The White House has offered conflicting explanations for why Donald Trump canceled a planned visit to honor America’s fallen World War I soldiers over the weekend. Either the Secret Service told him he couldn’t go (until he finished his creamed spinach, maybe?) or he was sincerely worried about causing French...
The diaries I’ve posted touting Randy Rainbow’s song parodies generally don’t make the rec list, but somehow I’m thinking this brilliant adaptation of the Scarecrow’s lament from The Wizard of Oz will be an exception for its widely shared sentiment and wicked wordplay. x x YouTube Video The Advocate “Satirist Randy Rainbow...
Every time I think Trump’s GOP couldn’t possibly sink into depravity any further, I get another reminder of just how far they’ve fallen. An Arizona TV reporter shared a social media post between one of Kelli Ward’s staffers and Kelli Ward herself: x WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?@kelliwardaz staffer: I wonder if...
The bad news has come so fast and furious for Donald Trump in the past couple of hours, you could write an entire “We Didn’t Start the Fire” parody based on just what’s happened today. This is like police-carting-bodies-out-of-Jeff-Dahmer’s-apartment kind of stuff — that is, if two of those bodies had...
Clearly feeling the heat of polls showing Democrat Rep. Beto O’Rourke within single digits of taking his Senate seat, Ted Cruz released an ad yesterday in which he awkwardly manhandles folks of color…though whether this will garner him more minority votes than it subtracts from his Trump loving racist base is up...
This Washington Post editorial — “Let the Trump team eat in peace” — provides a useful platform for intelligently discussing the recent instances where Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller have encountered resistance while trying to dine out in D.C. area restaurants. The WashPo...
Things are… not going well in Spain right now. How to breed an infertile, mentally disabled king, who soils himself regularly, and sparks a regional war with his death. First, a little history. Some three hundred years ago, what is now that little pointy bit that constitutes the northeast corner of...
Hating Hillary can get weird. Way weird. It's rooted in hate-the-bxtch whining. A concentrated analog of Limbaugh's blame-the-Libruls whining schtick. Far as I can tell, this is not because of her husband. Unlike Lyndon Johnson, Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, Bill Clinton utterly, totally failed to lie us into...
Might as well get this out of the way. The way Republicans hate Hillary is pretty close to the way they hate women generally. The way they hate taxes. The way they used to hate The Commies before they found they could make a buck off China. The way they...
