Source of pic: see link below. The right-wing narrative regarding the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol is an old rhetorical sleight of hand that has a long history of use by American conservatives: they call it “waving the bloody shirt.” How much are you lovin' the whammy-tool of post Jan 6, 2021 rhetoric in … Continue reading Call A Spade A Garden Tool

Did You Forget To Get With The Program?
As much as I hate all the ruckus around my beloved & missed #Americant having elected its first black president (oh so long ago, it seems), there's still a few lingering issues that weigh heavy on the minds-eye from then and there when it comes to looking at the Now. Namely, five years after Barry-O … Continue reading Did You Forget To Get With The Program?
As The Old Man Gets Some Second Wind
As I've failed to say here or there, dear worst-reader, and even though I voted for him not unlike how I voted for Hillary in the 2008 primary, say what you will about old-man Biden finally (finally!) figuring out how #MAGA can produce (almost) enough vaccines to vaccinate more and more privileged people, he's also … Continue reading As The Old Man Gets Some Second Wind
Examples In Fascism #2.32 Quadrillion
Need to post more about all-things worst in my News category, eh, dear worst-reader. And what better topic to re-continue it all? I mean, check out the linked article below and especially the image of all those young fascist (you know, those who spend their whole lives doing what they're told without question, without criticism, … Continue reading Examples In Fascism #2.32 Quadrillion
Coup vs Putsch
Source: screenshot from the #interwebnets Worst-title #2: Why it should be called the rich white trash Putsch and not #Americant Coup d'etat. Which do you prefer, dear worst-reader? Do you prefer Coup, as in Coup d'etat, as the proper nomenclature of #MAGA's newest and greatest achievement--other than electing president piss-hair in the first place? Or … Continue reading Coup vs Putsch
Welcome To $hithole Country
Welcome To Poophole Country Sh*thole country... -Donald J. Trump Where to go with all the toxicity, dear worst-reader? Hence a country is awash in poison, filth, dreck--including #Trump's hair--and whatever drug concoction of the day fits into the nose or arm of the lower and middle classes that are subsumed in the aftermath of political … Continue reading Welcome To $hithole Country
Running Through The #Americant Trailer Park From Sea To Shinning Sea Waving $2000?
Worst-title #2: The reawakening and potential gruesome death scene of #Americant demise galore in the wrong porn film just before the WWE match begins while the church doors are wide open. Disclaimer: this post is NSFW. Still not woke up to the grift, dear worst-reader? You know, the grift that is THE #Americant DREAM--post Ronald … Continue reading Running Through The #Americant Trailer Park From Sea To Shinning Sea Waving $2000?
Two Old White Men In A Corona Bar Talking Politics
Worst-writer's thoughts on 2020s first non-presidential presidential debate. Trainwreck $hitshow forever.-worstwriter How afeared are you, dear worst-reader? Whaaaaa? No fear? How 'bout embarrassed? Is there such a thing as dying from embarrassment? If not, how was President Stupid's debate performance? And don't worry. You really don't have to answer the question. All you have to … Continue reading Two Old White Men In A Corona Bar Talking Politics
Unoriginalityism
Disclaimer: terribly sorry for the bad spelling. Maybe it ( bad spell) can be chalked up to all things ... “fake”? (If only I had gone w/ fake-writer, eh!) Well, there you have it, dear worst-reader. The #Americant disease of unoriginality is rampant. In fact, is it unlike COVID? Spreading like wildfire due to the … Continue reading Unoriginalityism
1619 vs 1776 Or The Great Stupid Redo
https://youtu.be/8_L7U0R0oSM So many have asked me over the years regarding my expatriation questions like: So you must like it there, huh?Is Germany really better than...?Why Europe?And... Don't you miss the greatest country...? For this worst-post, my answers to those questions are irrelevant. But if you must know, answers abound (that's a "expat" tag link). The … Continue reading 1619 vs 1776 Or The Great Stupid Redo
Blind Or Blindfolded
RIP #RBG. So. Like. What's the difference between being blind and being blindfolded? One means you can't see and the other means you don't want to see, or someone else doesn't want you to see. With that in worst-mind, I've never been a fan of Lady Justice. Don't get me wrong. She's a gotta body … Continue reading Blind Or Blindfolded
The Edumacated
This is a screenshot of a headline. In the game musical chairs players prance around chairs while music is playing. When the music stops prancers have to sit. The prancers who have not found a chair to sit in are removed from the game along with one chair. I suppose, in that vein, the game … Continue reading The Edumacated
Celebrating Winning
As VE Day was being celebrated in Western enclaves here and there yesterday, worst-writer was thinking of George Carlin: "When fascism comes to America, it will not be in brown and black shirts. It will not be with jack-boots. It will be Nike sneakers and Smiley shirts. Germany lost the Second World War. Fascism won … Continue reading Celebrating Winning
Work Will Set You Free, To Be Stupid
In my play The Good Criminal, a worst-play, don't you know, a play that, of course (1), was rejected by publishers, theatres, and, of course (2), audiences, there is a moment where a modern (Reaganomics) corporatists slash yuppie schmuck is talking about setting oneself free by working hard (for The Corporation), or something like that. … Continue reading Work Will Set You Free, To Be Stupid
Allusion Delusion Collusion
Come on, dear worst-reader. Are you laughing with me? Or did you miss the recent rally by #MAGA hat wearing bat$hitters in my beloved & missed united mistakes of #Americant? Perhaps it is an easy thing to miss, don't you know. I mean, who's really interested in watching a bunch of gun-toting white-people ranting and … Continue reading Allusion Delusion Collusion
How The Old Win Failing Upward
Well, dear worst-reader, it's finally happened. Bernie Sanders has not only exited the 2016 presidential race (Yes!, the 2016 race) but he's joined all the others--including Hillary--who probably never should have been in the race in the first place. So let's go down the list shall we? Here's what shouldn't be running for the highest … Continue reading How The Old Win Failing Upward
Sue To The Dungheap
As the herd culls or is culled... How does one get to the essence of what's wrong with everything, dear worst-reader? You know, why everything is soooooo worst? Does one dig to the base, the fundament, the origin? Are there even enough shovels, tools to do that? Does one deconstruct and thereby reconstruct--in order to … Continue reading Sue To The Dungheap
#OkBoomers Be Gone. Please.
As I point out here or there in this worst-blog, I'm not a fan of my own generation. Especially the #Americant portion of that generation1. But. Dear worst-reader. Not only can we NOT choose our parents, we are also stuck with the generation in which we are born. With that worst-said, I'm as tail-end as … Continue reading #OkBoomers Be Gone. Please.
The Glory Of Squander
Been saying it for years, dear worst-reader. The squander of it all. As in: American Squander. This inner saying, though, has taken on variation, I have to admit that. Now it goes something like this: LAND OF FREE TO BE STUPID. I mean, come on. Am I wrong reaching the conclusion that in order for … Continue reading The Glory Of Squander
Real Reason Peoples Should Be Afeared Of This Guy
Pete Buttigieg should drive anyone away at the moment it's revealed that he worked for the likes of McKinsey & Co. Forget about the fact that he's just some man-child that gained a few thousand votes to become mayor in the hellhole that is some midwest country bumpkin town. Now don't get me wrong, dear … Continue reading Real Reason Peoples Should Be Afeared Of This Guy
Ununderstanding Or Unlearn
Was walking my dog the other day and came across this pic twice. Once it was stuck to a tree on a plate and the other it was on this/a German post box. When I went back to take a picture of the one on the tree a day or two later, thinking it would … Continue reading Ununderstanding Or Unlearn
Anti-Intellectualism Wins Again
The big gripe, dear worst-reader. I mean. Come on. As bad as the obviousness of President Stupid and his ways can be, is it just as bad to use an analogy of a name--even President Stupid's son's name--and a monarchial title in order to make a constitutional legal argument? You know. #Americant is supposed to … Continue reading Anti-Intellectualism Wins Again
AI = Apathy & Ignorance
https://youtu.be/ymaWq5yZIYM What got us to where we be, dear worst-reader? Now that's a worst-question (grammar correct or not), eh. Let's have a look, shall we. Something everyone should see/hear? Perhaps. But can/could any of the (insert number here1) millions of the #Americant republican base, the minority rulers, don't you know, actually comprehend this? You know, … Continue reading AI = Apathy & Ignorance
The Freedom To Be Stupid
As I've always worst-said, dear worst-reader, capitalism shouldn't be the political system. Yet my beloved & missed #Americant has enabled exactly that. But how has your beloved & missed #Americant made capitalism its political system, dear worst-writer? Well, thank you for the question, dear worst-reader. And the answer is simple: KEEP 'EM STUPID! Then again, … Continue reading The Freedom To Be Stupid
What Is Then Is Now
https://youtu.be/oFeoS41xe7w Took me a while to finally get to this video, dear worst-reader. I'd heard about this debate after reading a bit about Buckley, who I was intellectually lead to by Christopher Hitchens a few and a few more years ago. I vividly recall watching Buckley on black&white television in my youth and asking my … Continue reading What Is Then Is Now
