'The Smell of Fascism: What the Absolute Flying​ Fuck' [View all]

"Implausibly, it keeps getting weirder, darker, worse. Hankering to make war against his own citizens in the name of an imaginary crime wave, the deranged, draft-dodging Peace President of the United States just posted a mock Apocalypse Now meme of himself as Duvall's warmongering sociopath, warning Chicago is 'about to find out why it's called the Department of War' and leering, 'I love the smell of deportations in the morning.' Sigh. Nothing to see here."

"Wildly flailing in a job he is utterly unfit for and so eager to deflect from the looming, likely damning Epstein files he'll do pretty much anything even kill us, the old, bored, crumbling, makeup-caked man now defiling the White House randomly decided it was time to 'send a message of strength' to an unlistening world by changing the longtime name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War. 'We won the first World War, we won the second World War, we won everything before that and in between,' he babbled, 'and then we decided to go wokey and we changed the name to Department of Defense.' Umm. Ok. So now he's changing it back except Congress would need to approve the change, so not really."

"At least now Pete Kegseth gets to use a new bellicose name to show the U.S., in a break from its long tradition as global peacemaker, is 'going to go on offense, not just on defense,' a shift he explained in his best warrior-ethos gibberish as, 'Maximum lethality, not tepid legality,' also, 'Violent effect, not politically correct.' In other words, given the '100,000 Americans killed each year' by Biden's 'open border,' the U.S. had 'absolute authority' to attack a Venezuelan boat carrying suspected gang members in the Caribbean - 'We smoked a drug boat and there's 11 narco-terrorists at the bottom of the ocean' - though some would call that a war crime. Speaking for the regime, J.D. Vance chimed in: 'I don't give a shit what you call it.' "

"No wonder, then, the orange man-child seeking revenge on those who doubt his manly powers is threatening to send troops to Chicago, 'the most dangerous city in the world' - 'I have an obligation' - though it only has the 92nd highest violent crime rate among big American cities, where crime has been falling the last few years to unprecedented lows, and where Dem-led Chicago's crime rate remains far below the most murderous four cities, all in GOP-run states, of Jackson MS, Birmingham AL, St Louis MO, Memphis TN, which in turn are far below the world's most dangerous cities - Tijuana, Mexico, Colima, Mexico, Caracas Venezuela, Durán, Ecuador - and countries: Brazil, Venezuela, Honduras, Jamaica, South Africa, Colombia, and now, of course, Gaza."
