Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

No offense, but this thread hasn’t been about you for quite a while.

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

Consistently wrong since 2002

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

It’s the corruption, stupid.

The GOP is a fucking disgrace.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

We still have time to mess this up!

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

An almost top 10,000 blog!

Just because you believe it, that doesn’t make it true.

This really is a full service blog.

Come on, man.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Conservatism: there are some people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

Batshiat Crazy Minutemen: Preventing Cattle Emigration

This is priceless!

It was supposed to be 14 feet high and topped with razor wire. It was also supposed to send a message to Washington that if the government wouldn’t seal off the southern border, volunteers could.

One farmer interviewed on CNN was just glad it was keeping his cattle fenced in. I filed this under humor because the Minutemen, while completely repugnant to me (I think they are 100% motivated by racism), never cease to make me laugh.

    Mexican cattle come into our country without documentation, eat our grass, drink our water, and what do they contribute in return? Methane. And they don’t even speak English!

    I’m rolling off my chair here, this is Wall-to-Wall Comedy Gold.

    Simcox described it as “our high-tech, double-layered gauntlet of deterrent.”

    Oh noes! Not the Gauntlet of Deterrent! Does it come with a Cloak of Unseeing and a Sword of Oblivion?

    And please say I’m not the only one who thinks this dude’s name sounds like a sex toy available through 2nd Life.

    I need to get out more, I’m finding way too many layers o’ amusement in this story

    Simcox posted his group’s most recent tax filing and an independent audit on the Minuteman Web site. In the audit, the largest expense listed, by far, is for “professional services,” with no further details given.

    We’re all waiting for an explanation, “Mr. Simcox.” [Taps foot]

    Looks like the most productive act would be to get an IRS audit on this guy…what do you want to bet that 99% of that “professional services” money ended up in his pocket?

    Just another con man fleecing the rubes….it used to be the pea-under-the-shell games, now it’s a “double-layered gauntlet of deterrrent.”

    Can’t think of a better bunch of ijdits to use as marks.

    Ha! Don’t you realize that with a few lucky casts Simcox will be able to level-up the Gauntlet of Deterrent so that it will even resist the Wirecutters of Doom?

    Wait, I’m confused…over at B4B, they’re talking about how the border fence is working. In much the same language that they use to talk about how the surge is working.

    Oh, I get it. It’s just one of the many Bushbot MadLibs–this one is the “________ is working!” page.

    Funny how money raised by these crackpot, black helicopter, militia group leaders keeps on getting lost. Simcox was implicated in the same sort of fraud when he was part of the militia movement and many of the other leaders of the various militias and other anti-government (Income Tax is Illegal!!!) groups also got nailed for this stuff.

    Who knew such concerned citizens would also turn out to be such unscrupulous cheats. What will we tell the children?

    (Also, I have to question the wisdom of bilking heavily armed, angry, conspiracy minded followers out of their money. Seems like an awfully dangerous group to target with Ponzi schemes.)

    If an Illegal Alien casts the T-shirt of Eternity over the top wire of the Gauntlet of Deterrent, the Gauntlet immediately transforms into the Stairway to Heaven.

    I’ll take that bet. I’ll bet it ended up in the jockstraps of strippers at the local S&M bar, or in the cash register at Wetsuits-R-Us.

    Hmmm…”Simcox”…as in “Simulated Cock”, as in “Dildo”. OK, now the name fits.

    Be sure to wear your “Gauntlet of Deterrent” when you’re around this guy.

    Hey, if you have 60 Minutemen you’ve got a song title.

    Always a risky proposition even with protection. It’s better just to stay away from those pricks.

    i’d be real careful tapping your foot in the presence of a republican named ‘simcox’.

    Punchy

    CNN asked Simcox for responses to all of the allegations made by the former insiders. He replied that all of the allegations, as well as CNN’s investigation, are “a witch hunt” and “part of a smear campaign.” Simcox declined several CNN requests for an interview.

    Because CNN is Teh Evil Media…and…and…all of his leiutenants, associates, friends, investment dealers, helpers, money collecters, enforcers, builders, ex-wives, former hookers, and buisness partners are all Teh Evil Liberals….

    God damn, what are the odds that all of those Go Liberal on ya all at once? Poor guy.

    Professional. They went to TJ and got some hookers.

    One man actually mortgaged his home and contributed more than $100,000.

    a fool and his money…

    It was a five-strand barbed wire fence that would keep Ladd’s cattle in and keep Mexican cattle out. Ladd said he is happy with the fence. But some Minuteman leaders were stunned. In their first-ever interview, these former Simcox lieutenants told CNN they believed that the groundbreaking was a ploy by Simcox to raise even more money.

    conservatives fooled by one of their leaders? You don’t say!

    “To this day, we still don’t know how much the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps has raised. We don’t have a clue, not a clue,” Wright said.

    Simcox now says that he never promised to build the high-tech security fence on Ladd’s ranch. And he insists the barbed-wire fence really does protect the country.

    he’s got a great future as a GOP politician… or a televangelist.

    I wish I’d thought of this scam. I could use some ready cash.

    Sad thing is, you could still get away with it. Would it be wrong to sell electronic “Illegal Immigrant Detection Devices” to the rubes?

    Um.

    Er.

    Hang on…
