Normally, my Daily Random 15 Seconds Of MSNBC is your standard-issue eyeroll-inducing partisan babbling, but <a href="http://sinkers.org/posters/whataboutabortion/kornackiframeJan3024.jpg" target="_blank">Steve Kornacki's election report</a> last week totally warmed my heart. Best goddamn news I'd heard in months. F'crissake, Genocide Joe is FIFTY POINTS UNDERWATER with voters 18-34, reportedly the group he needs the most to get his filthy ass re-elected. FIFTY POINTS.

So, after the better part of 4 years of immiserating the working class, serving up shit-ass public health emergency response, ginning up a New Red Scare, trying to instigate a world war non-stop, proudly enabling a genocide overseas and trying to crush dissent at home, the Democratic Party still wants us to turn out to play their little Democracy Game with them. The bastards still think they can scare us with that tired-ass abortion rights schtick, and that "Trump is worse" horseshit, and their trademark "Democracy is at stake" drooling, but guess what...? There's a whole new generation of folks out there who aren't buying that shit, and sure as hell aren't going to pretend that the Democrats haven't been actively funding and enabling a genocide since last October.

<p><strong>If there were a sure sign that the Donkeycrats are pants-shitting panicked</strong>
at the prospect of traditionally-Leftish/progressivish voters
abandoning their worthless asses en masse at the polls over the genocide
in Palestine, it’s the fact that the likes of MSNBC and the <a href="http://www.sinkers.org/posters/smileseverybody/wapoA1_Jan2024sunnieroneconomy.jpg" target="_blank">Washington <em>Post</em></a> just can’t stop the tubthumping over the economy and the “consumer confidence” polls just out this week.</p>
<p>Never mind the piss-poor public health response to COVID19, or the
historic re-enactment of the fall of Saigon in 2021, or the piss-poor
disaster response in Maui last year, or the metric fuckton of cash
flushed down the shitter for a bunch of Ukrainian Nazi hillbillies, the
wide-open support of fascistic ethnic cleansing in Palestine, the
continued attempted instigation of world war — nahh, screw that shit;
the consumer confidence numbers are in and the economy is rockin’, so
let’s turn that frown upside down, ya’ fusty proles.</p>

<p><strong>Throughout <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/" target="_blank">MSNBC’s</a> <a href="http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3658" target="_blank">nonstop, never-ending, ceaseless, mind-numbing, soul-crushing, forever-grinding-on coverage</a></strong>
of Trump’s little bullshit real-estate fraud trial, they pretty much
paused only to scream and yell and bitch in befuddlement about how the
Donmonster could possibly still be the goddamn GOP front-runner and <em>bitch bitch bitch <strong>above the law</strong></em> and <em>whine whine whine<strong> rule of law</strong> </em>and <em>snarl growl yell <strong>democracy is at stake,</strong></em><strong> </strong>followed
by a pivot to their illustrious GOP primary coverage in which their
chirping mutant anchortarts just couldn’t shut the hell up about how
Trump and the GOP’s rhetoric is about “us vs. them” and<a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/7/13/joe-biden-on-way-to-middle-east-in-first-trip-as-us-president" target="_blank"> the Democrats are all about “us”.</a></p>
<p>…and all I could think of in that moment was how thoroughly the
Democratic Party groundlessly scapegoated and demonized Russia for their
own ineptitude and general suckage in the Easiest Slam-Dunk Election
Ever In All Of Recorded Human History Including The Lascaux Cave
Paintings, and how just how much of the Democratic Party’s attitude and
general M.O. involves demonizing, scapegoating and <a href="http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3484" target="_blank">otherizing</a>
— whether it’s people calling out their Russiagate sham, their idiotic
policy decisions or their collaboration with fascists, or pretty much
anyone on the left calling out their poor record with ethnic minorities,
students, the working class, the poor, or pointing out their
long-established reputation for warmongering, you can pretty much count
on the Democrats to stand on their record, no matter what.</p>

<p><b>“REGRET From Military”, <a href="http://www.sinkers.org/posters/happygoddamnnewyear/NYT_A1_Dec2923israeladmittingfault.jpg" target="_blank">it says here.</a></b><br />
That’s right — REGRET for “unintended harm”.</p>
<p>Oh, for Christ’s sake, why do these goddamn thugs even bother? Who do they think they’re kidding? Do they think that after <a href="https://geopoliticaleconomy.com/2023/12/07/gaza-most-heavily-bombed-area-history/" target="_blank">nearly 3 months </a>of genocidal brutality, fascistic bullying, threats and <a href="https://geopoliticaleconomy.com/2023/12/19/gaza-health-ministry-death-toll-accurate-study/" target="_blank">media lies, </a>Genocide Joe’s little buddy actually expects us to believe that they REGRET this goddamn horror show?</p>
<p>The threat of the Bad Old Rethuglicans taking over stopped scaring me
nearly 30 years ago, and right now it scares me even less, if such a
thing is possible. Four more years of Trump? Big goddamn deal; we’ve
ALREADY been through 4 more years of Trump, so I could give the
slightest molecule of a rat’s ass <a href="http://www.sinkers.org/posters/happygoddamnnewyear/wapo_A1_Dec2923_trumpoffmaineballot.jpg" target="_blank">who “wins” your goddamn “election” </a>
next year. For all I care, the Democrats can get their asses shredded so goddamn bad that they have to be identified via dental records. At this point, I don't care so much about defeating Trump as I do about defeating America.</p>

<div id="article_text"><p><b>So, this week, about two and a half months into this horror,</b> it finally dawned on Genocide Joe and the <a href="http://sinkers.org/posters/knowyourenemy/NYT_Dec1323_israellosingsupport.jpg" target="_blank">New York <i>Times</i></a>
that relentlessly bombing the ever-lovin’ piss out of a practically

<p>About this same time, the <a href="http://sinkers.org/posters/knowyourenemy/wapoA1_Dec1523_dumbbombsingaza.jpg" target="_blank">Washington <i>Post</i></a>
was clutching its pearls over the staggering amount of “dumb bombs”
being used to pummel civilians’ homes into a flaming hellscape, as if
using more precisely guided munitions might make the genocide more
palatable to Mr. and Mrs. Amerika. Dumb bombs, dumb policy, dumb
leadership, dumb people and a dumb nation. Dumb all over, and ugly on
the side.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@sexualityscholar/video/7290879203896085802?_r=1&_t=8hPYWMiBjeY" target="_blank">Jews all over the place are getting on the right side of history</a> and remembering the value of resistance, and <a href="https://new.thecradle.co/articles/support-for-hamas-more-than-tripled-in-west-bank-poll" target="_blank">Hamas is Numero Uno in Gaza</a>

<div id="article"><div id="article_body"><div id="article_text"><p><strong>For real, serious — the USA and Israel are obviously 110% on the wrong side of history, </strong>millions
around the Earth are standing together against their butchery, and the
only response that the USA, Israel and their media flunkies can muster
is to basically just <a href="https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2023/10/11/rwvd-o11.html" target="_blank">scream back at us to shut up</a>
and then try to pretend we don’t exist. If it weren’t so disgusting,
it’d be even more hilarious; these bastards have built themselves a
seriously goofy alternate reality and are determined to stay in it even
while it’s collapsing on them. It’s as if they actually know how much of

have to stick with it.</p>

polluting my neighborhood — from all accounts, spit in the ocean
compared to the waves of uprising going on against their fascist asses
and, as I’d guessed, the likes of MSNBC were absolutely all over this
horseshit this morning. I could almost smell <a href="https://twitter.com/joenbc" target="_blank">Joe Scarborough & krew</a>
soaking their panties on the air as they swooned over that gaggle.
“Politicians, celebrities, hostages’ family members joined thousands…”
they gushed all morning today; the MSNBC anchor didn’t even bother to
tamp down the schoolgirl pride welling up in her voice. The celebrities
included alleged actress and veteran Left basher extraordinaire Debra
Messing, which ought to tell you something.</p>

I was seeing a lot of chatter on the Web about how Israel should be

<p><strong>The ongoing, escalating roaring of bloodthirsty racism in support of Israeli thuggery in Gaza — speaking of <a href="https://www.npr.org/2023/10/26/1208749860/maine-mass-shooting-lewiston-death-toll" target="_blank">mass shootings</a> </strong>— put me in mind of a book of cartoons entitled <a href="https://www.gutenberg.org/files/47484/47484-h/47484-h.htm" target="_blank">“America’s Black & White Book”,</a> published during World War I by an artist named <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Allen_Rogers" target="_blank">William Allen Rogers,</a> in particular one of the “greatest hits” from that book, a ripe little nugget entitled <a href="https://www.gutenberg.org/files/47484/47484-h/47484-h.htm#Page_78" target="_blank">“Another Case Of Wiping Hands On The American Flag”</a>,
a classic rendition of the “Filthy Dirty Huns Kill Children” genre of
the WWI era. Rogers was arguably one of the most raving, drooling,
jingoistic warmongering editorial cartoonists of that era — sort of a
poor man’s James Montgomery Flagg — and drew for the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Herald" target="_blank">New York Herald</a>, arguably one of the most raving, drooling, warmongering newspapers in the US of that era.</p>
<p>Their presentation nowadays may be slicker, their media more
sophisticated, their rhetoric a little more refined, their approach a
little classier, but if you strip it to the core it’s the same old shit
they’ve been serving up since the Spanish-American War, at least: filthy
dirty Huns are killing babies, filthy dirty Huns are throwing babies
out of incubators, <a href="https://thegrayzone.com/2023/10/11/beheaded-israeli-babies-settler-wipe-out-palestinian/" target="_blank">dirty filthy Huns are beheading babies…</a> you get the idea.</p>

<p><strong>So, like any halfway-decent vile-ass racist early-stage war hysteria,</strong> the mouth-frothing claims of <a href="https://twitter.com/muhammadshehad2/status/1711802752869740715" target="_blank">rape and baby-killing</a> always get the most mileage — as always, all the way back to the goddamn Lusitania.</p>
<p>You can imagine my total lack of anything resembling surprise, of course, when the claims turned out to be<a href="https://www.mintpressnews.com/propaganda-blitz-how-mainstream-media-is-pushing-fake-palestine-stories/285992/" target="_blank"> total bullshit</a> served up by some <a href="https://thegrayzone.com/2023/10/11/beheaded-israeli-babies-settler-wipe-out-palestinian/" target="_blank">IDF lackey</a> who’d already been involved in some skanky-ass shit in the settlements.</p>
<p>So, finally, the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MintpressNews/posts/pfbid02NZoRdeg8rkWBpFDv61tAMq8A8C7pFu59rsUCj9xV6bThggCuE2Bt5C27QHzzUVPsl?notif_id=1697289460670509&notif_t=notify_me_page&ref=notif" target="_blank">CNN “journalist” responsible</a> issues a <a href="http://www.sinkers.org/posters/beheadedbaby/mintpress_cnn_beheadedbaby_apology.jpg" target="_blank">public apology</a> — for being caught lying on the air, AGAIN… but not after the likes of <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/10/12/white-house-walks-back-bidens-claim-he-saw-children-beheaded-by-hamas" target="_blank">Gropey Joe Biden,</a>
the New York Post, MSNBC, Fox News, Rupert Murdoch’s rags, and
everybody and their goddamn uncle have blasted it all over the goddamn
world — and in the same fashion that US and Western media have always
lied to promote their wars, whether it’s the Tonkin Gulf, <a href="http://mediafilter.org/caq/Hill%26Knowlton.html" target="_blank">Kuwaiti Incubator Babies,</a> Weapons Of Mass Destruction, Yellowcake Uranium, Russiagate, the <a href="https://thegrayzone.com/2022/03/18/bombing-mariupol-theater-ukrainian-azov-nato-intervention/" target="_blank">Mariupol Theatre Bombing, </a>the <a href="https://thegrayzone.com/2019/12/21/china-detaining-millions-uyghurs-problems-claims-us-ngo-researcher/" target="_blank">Uyghur Muslims,</a> and now <strong>this</strong> horseshit.</p>
<p>Oh, and of course, our gal at CNN was “misled” — always,<em> always,</em>
they’ve been “misled”, like the Representatives and Senators who jumped
aboard the Iraq War bandwagon back about 20 years ago, and had
themselves a big ol’ party, thinking they had an easy win until all
their shit went sideways on ‘em, and suddenly they were cryin’ in the
media about how they were “misled”. They knew it was a metric shit-tonne
of lies and bought into it anyway — then got their asses busted, and
suddenly they were “misled”, the cryin’-ass losers.</p>
<p>But, sure, <strong>I’M</strong> the one who’s spreading “disinformation”.</p>

<p><strong>In the words of the immortal John Cleese, my nipples exploded with delight </strong>to hear that Palestine was<a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/palestinian-militants-launch-dozens-rockets-035044600.html" target="_blank"> punching the bullies back,</a> and in such spectacularly and <a href="http://www.sinkers.org/posters/keepemflying/hanggliderinvasion325x578.mp4" target="_blank">totally boss fashion.</a></p>
<p>And in totally standard fashion, Israeli state mouthpieces are screeching about how <a href="https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/this-is-our-9-11-hamas-went-for-babies-grandmothers-israel-defense-forces-101696779526755.html" target="_blank">this is their Nineleven™, how Hamas came for their babies</a>
— pretty much the usual response… never fails — when you punch the
bully back, the little punk runs crying to the principal. Meanwhile, at
MSNBC, some clown who sounded like he was still in college mentioned how
this conflict has been going on “since time immemorial”. Shame I
couldn’t pull Junior aside to remind him that the Nakba occurred in
1948, within the memories of many people still living, and that<a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/what-is-nakba-palestine-israel-conflict-explained-1948" target="_blank"> 1948 is not “time immemorial”</a> (before I smacked the living shit out of him).</p>
<p>I can’t pretend I’m not enjoying this, but I don’t know which part of it I’m enjoying more — the idea that the <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/moment-hamas-fighters-seen-paragliding-31129872" target="_blank">resistance fighters would paraglide in,</a> or watching one Western media babbler after another shitting themselves on the air over the fact that ZOMG THEY’RE USING <strong><a href="https://www.hindustantimes.com/videos/world-news/hamas-fighters-descend-on-israel-using-hang-gliders-israelis-begin-operation-iron-swords-101696683691372.html" target="_blank">PARAGLIDERS,</a> </strong>THE BASTARDS.</p>

<p><strong>This is a piece I’d sketched out earlier but originally tossed</strong> for being too complex, too obscure an issue… but then, a couple of weeks ago I was reading about how <a href="https://breakthroughnews.org/the-rise-and-fall-of-us-dollar-supremacy-how-sanctions-backfire-with-prabhat-patnaik/" target="_blank">BRICS was strengthening,</a> “de-dollarization” was spreading, how the spread of de-dollarization was starting to <a href="https://geopoliticaleconomy.com/2023/06/20/us-congress-dollar-dominance-hearing/" target="_blank">get people shook on the Hill</a>
and how this means the issue might finally break out into public media,
and about how the BRICS countries were contemplating creating an <a href="https://geopoliticaleconomy.com/2023/06/03/brics-adding-members-currency-us-dollar/" target="_blank">alternate reserve currency</a> and — and suddenly, that goofy-ass dollar-bill parody gag was starting to look pretty good…</p>

<p><strong>Still smarting from MSNBC’s thrilling re-enactment of the O.J. Simpson Police Chase </strong>on
the day of Trump’s arraignment, my daily random 15 seconds of MSNBC the
other morning included the morning babblers queefing out the phrases
“above the law” and “rule of law” more times than I could count. All I
could think of in that moment was Richard Nixon, who committed a metric
shit-tonne of crimes against international law and the U.S. Constitution
and who avoided an impeachment trial and accountability by resigning;
and George W. Bush, a thug with a record as long as his goddamn arm who
not only avoided accountability through impeachment and the
International Criminal Court, but who also scored a one-man show at the
goddamn <a href="http://www.sinkers.org/posters/wewillreturn/wapo_kencen_adSept0819-03.jpg" target="_blank"><strong>Kennedy Center.</strong><br />
</a><br />
But naahh; <strong>nobody</strong> is above the law. Somebody hold me back.</p>

<p><strong>Well, hot damn diggety; Trump’s been <a href="https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2023-06-09/trump-indictment-details-espionage-obstruction-charges" target="_blank">indicted again,</a> and Liberals’ nipples are exploding with delight all over the US of goddamn A.</strong>
MSNBC was actually showing us continuous helicopter shots of the
motorcade taking Trump to the courthouse while the anchors were
babbling, just bashing our heads in with it.</p>
<p>Personally, I got some serious giggles about the way he went about snagging the documents and storing them — like,<a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/photos-from-trump-indictment-show-boxes-of-classified-documents-stored-in-mar-a-lago-shower-ballroom" target="_blank"> in the ballroom. </a>Forgetting for a moment that that room already looks like the set of an old Hercules movie — <em>the goddamn <strong><a href="https://d3i6fh83elv35t.cloudfront.net/static/2023/06/FyM1f7xWIAsdd6r.jpeg" target="_blank">ballroom,</a></strong> f’crissake.</em>
It looked like the scene after Ferdinand Marcos was deposed from power
and he and Imelda were racing around their place trying to shred all
their incriminating secret documents before they fled the country —
boxes of documents stacked, open and strewn all over, garbage bags full
of shredded documents, jammed shredders abandoned all over the place,
real amateur-hour shit.</p>
<p>If the Donmonster had any class at all, he’d have just hired an interior decorator to help him hide that stuff in plain sight.</p>

<p><strong>Yeah, I know the Florida Legislature Dancing And Cake Story</strong> broke nearly 2 weeks ago, but at the time, I was busy finishing the job of “Finishing The Job”.</p>
<p>So, <em>aaaa-</em>aanyway… if the almighty Fact-Checking Industrial Complex is to be believed, the <a href="https://api.politifact.com/factchecks/2023/may/05/tiktok-posts/were-florida-lawmakers-dancing-after-passing-anti/" target="_blank">dancing was not at the end of the session,</a>
but before they settled down to the business of otherizing,
criminalizing, villifying and immiserating a major portion of the whole
goddamn state with a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cr3vtRiu9nV/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D" target="_blank">legislative horrorshow.</a></p>
<p>Luckily for me, though, the part of the story that was true was the cake part. According to this <a href="https://dcenquirer.com/protestors-arrested-in-florida-state-capitol-as-workers-watch-eating-cake/" target="_blank">big, hot steamy bucket of gloat </a>in the DC Enquirer*, a Florida legislative staffer mocked protesters at the State Capitol at the time by <a href="https://twitter.com/goni_lessan/status/1653946315573805058?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1653946315573805058%7Ctwgr%5Ebc11c3f64e507830399cb57c005a5b8819dc8de2%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fdcenquirer.com%2Fprotestors-arrested-in-florida-state-capitol-as-workers-watch-eating-cake" target="_blank">eating cake at their desks</a> in front of them.</p>
<p>So, it seems that just this once, the cake is <strong>not</strong> a lie.</p>

<p><strong>It is with anxiety, chagrin and dread</strong> that I present this, my first cartoon of the 2024 Presidential “election” slog…</p>
<p>…and despite the <a href="http://www.sinkers.org/posters/finishingthejob/wapoA1_May0623_new_low.jpg" target="_blank">massive disappointment</a> and <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/3992413-biden-approval-slips-to-new-low-in-wake-of-2024-campaign-launch-survey/" target="_blank">lack of enthusiasm</a> of huge swaths of Democratic voters, Gropin’ Joe announced his <a href="https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2023/04/26/ckws-a26.html" target="_blank">re-election campaign kickoff</a> with a promise to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/01/20/us/biden-2024-president-election-news" target="_blank">“finish the job”</a>… at which point yours truly, like millions of others, is cringing and asking themselves: what job would THAT be — <a href="https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2023/04/29/jobs-a29.html" target="_blank">immiserating the poor</a> and the working class? <a href="https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2023/05/03/ynmm-m03.html" target="_blank">Terrorizing immigrants</a> and bullying our next-door neighbors? <a href="https://geopoliticaleconomy.com/2023/05/02/us-military-spending-russia-china" target="_blank">Fattening up the war profiteers</a> and Wall Street? <a href="https://www.mintpressnews.com/independent-ukraine-kill-list-actually-run-by-kiev-backed-by-washington/284639/" target="_blank">Beating down anti-war dissent</a> in public media? Dragging us into <a href="https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2023/05/08/pers-m08.html" target="_blank">World War III?</a></p>
<p>Lotta big jobs to finish there, Joester; guess you’re going to <em>need</em> four more years to <i>thoroughly</i> screw things up, huh?</p>
