A source inside Disney told indie blogger Maria Kabas that between the Mouse megacorporation’s namesake streaming service, Hulu, and ESPN+ there were 1.7 million subscription cancelations after ABC late night host Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension at the command of convicted felon President Trump and FCC incel Brandon Carr on the 17th until his abrupt uncancellation on the 23rd, a 436 percent increase compared to a typical six-day period for the array of digital entertainment services.

Huh. So it takes six days for this to quietly leak out to a journo on BlueSky, where it got 7,800 likes, all the while the rest of the political/media world moved on because James Comey got indicted, an anti-Mormon MAGA terrorist shot up a church, something something Ryder Cup, and the government’s about to shut down. Carr, who was talking a LOT of shit before and immediately after Kimmel was seemingly done forever, has apparently stayed off Fox News while his partners in corruption, right wing affiliate chains Nexstar and Sinclair, capitulated on their preemption of Kimmel’s show just three days later. The latter’s cave was particularly embarrassing as Sinclair had demanded that the host make a large donation to TurningPoint USA, and they got nothing.

All the momentum that the MAGA Reich had in making Charlie Kirk’s assassination into a Reichstag fire moment and an all-out assault on the First Amendment has been seriously sapped by regular Americans simply saying “fuck this” and turning off their Disney streaming subscriptions in protest of the company’s cave to a fascist autocrat. That’s all it took. The significance of the moment is only outstripped by its insignificance amid a hurricane of other dark and absurd batshittery. Kabas even wrote “Can someone share my news on X so the weirdos can have a meltdown” as she has obviously been – like so many other libs – boycotting the bigger platform because of Ketamine Brain.

You maybe it’s worth using this space to offer a substantive observation of what Florida Senator Ashley Moody is saying but the unsettling sound of her voice as well as just her general affect are simply too disquieting to ignore. She may be suffering from some potentially serious psychiatric and/or neurological impairment and may require serious medical attention. That is all.

Republican Arizona Congressman Dave Schweikert on Tuesday told the Washington Post that he’s suffered enough “intense frustration” with an “intellectually calcified” Congress and will instead throw in the Grand Canyon State’s GOP gubernatorial primary, a field that’s already a little crowded and in which convicted felon President Trump has already doubly endorsed both miserable white nationalist MAGA Congressman Andy Biggs and 2022 primary loser Karrin Taylor Robson.

Schweikert’s announcement, making him now the 15th Republican in the chamber to call it quits on DC so far this cycle, seems pretty likely to have less of an impact on the gubernatorial race than it does control of the House as his seat in Arizona’s 1st District has been seen as among the most highly competitive on the map nationally since it was drawn in 2021. Schwiekert squeaked by with a less than 1 percent margin win in 2022 and then slightly more comfortably at 3.8 percent in 2024.

Trump had in July successfully hounded “moderate” Congressmen Mike Lawler and Bill Huizenga to stay put in the House and out of the New York gubernatorial and Michigan Senate GOP primaries, respectively, to protect their vulnerable seats. It was a power move to maintain the incumbency advantage that either didn’t work on Schweikert or, maybe even more likely, that the fat bastard was too distracted to even try it, endangering a critical swing seat and forcing the NRCC to spend.

“The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index® declined by 3.6 points in September to 94.2 (1985=100), down from 97.8 in August. The Present Situation Index – based on consumers’ assessment of current business and labor market conditions – fell by 7.0 points to 125.4. The Expectations Index – based on consumers’ short-term outlook for income, business, and labor market conditions – decreased by 1.3 points to 73.4. Expectations have been below the threshold of 80 that typically signals a recession ahead since February 2025. The cutoff date for preliminary results was September 21, 2025,” says the Conference Board’s bad news of the day.

Worse: “Consumers’ views of their Family’s Current and Future Financial Situation both weakened in September. Notably, consumers’ views of their current financial situation recorded the largest one-month drop since we started to collect this data in July 2022. The share of consumers thinking that a recession is very likely over the next 12 months rose slightly in September, to the highest level since May. In addition, more consumers thought that the economy was already in recession.”

Jesus Dork Speaker of the House Mike Johnson violated the 8th Commandment on Tuesday, live on CNBC, telling the hosts that Democrats had “put in writing” that they want illegal immigrants to receive Medicaid benefits as part of their shutdown demands. Mike Johnson is going to hell for violating this most sacred of God’s directives to all of his people of faith. He will burn forever.

“I’ve never walked into a room so silent before. Don’t laugh, don’t laugh, you’re not allowed to do that. You know what, just have a good time. And if you want to applaud, you applaud. And if you can do anything you want. If you don’t like what I’m saying, you can leave the room. Of course there goes your rank and there goes your future,” said convicted felon President Trump to the dead silence of the generals and admirals assembled at the Marine Corps base in Quantico, Virginia on Tuesday. It was that last bit that finally elicited moderate, possibly forced/nervous, laughter from the crowd.

The “WATCH LIVE” is still running but the very Jeb Bush-esque moment required a separate article.

Governor of Russia’s Belgorod region Vyacheslav Gladkov on Monday assured his subjects that crews are working hard to restore electricity to the oblast after at least six Ukrainian missiles oblasted power stations in the capital city, also called Belgorod, Reuters reports.

Gladkov then posted video of the Belgorod philharmonic performing by torchlight, just like they did back in Tchaikovsky and Borodin’s days. Must’ve been a really authentic experience.

The newest New York Times/Siena national survey is preeeetty lengthy/comprehensive, 71 questions in total, 56 of them printed this morning, the rest “withheld for later release.” The toplines are that convicted felon President Trump is 11 points underwater on job approval at 43 to 54 percent approve/disapprove and Dems lead Republicans 47 to 45 percent on the generic Congressional ballot – though among independents D candidates have a much more impressive lead of 49 to 39 percent. More timely is the question of “Who would you blame more if there is a shutdown of the federal government at the end of the month, the Democrats in Congress, Donald Trump and the Republicans in Congress or both equally? Or have you not heard enough to say?” to which 26 percent said Team MAGA, 19 percent said Dems, and 33 percent said “Both/equally,” and another 21 percent said they “Have not heard enough to say.” It’s that last group that, pretty obviously, is key to be messaging to about how the next few weeks are going to go politically for the two sides.

What was pretty friggin funny in the poll findings however was what issues were ranked on “What do you think is the MOST important problem facing the country today?” in which, as usual, “The economy (including jobs, stock market)” led at 16 percent followed by “Polarization/division” in second at 13 percent. In third was “Trump/Republicans” tied at 9 percent with “The state of democracy/corruption.” There must’ve been some rounding in there and the fat fuck and his party ahead of the other issue – which was basically the same thing anyway given the synonymity of the fat fuck and his party with their war on American democracy and their boundless corruption.

Even funnier is that there was no similar option for respondents to identify “Liberals/Democrats” as one of the most important problems facing the country today. Must’ve been an oversight.

Fun fact about this Trump performance from the Washington Post’s Sunday reporting “Trump’s appearance at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia not only overshadows Hegseth’s planned address but adds new security concerns to the massive and nearly unprecedented military event,” emphasis added on the “security concerns.” Almost like they’re worried that some of the generals and admirals might have ideas on how to make a swift change to leadership.

Republican former South Carolina state Representative RJ May on Monday officially pleaded guilty to five federal counts of distributing sexual abuse material involving children, the South Carolina Daily Gazette reports on the final downfall of the 2023 Moms for Liberty “Legislator of the Year” laureate, also known as “joebidennnn69” on Kik, the platform on which he was most active.

May faces five to 20 years, as well as up to a $250,000 fine, on each count when he’s sentenced on January 14th. Prosecutors have yet to file a sentencing memo but seem serious about the fine. US Attorney Bryan Stirling told the court that investigators have identified 21 of the at least 62 victims in the videos that May had distributed and intend to distribute the proceeds to them as restitution.

“Domino’s Pizza Inc, the largest pizza company in the world, and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) are joining forces to deliver fire safety messages to homes across the country. During Fire Prevention Week (Oct 5-11), customers who order from participating franchise-owned and corporate Domino’s stores throughout the US may be surprised when their delivery arrives accompanied by a fire engine. If the smoke alarms in the home are working, the pizza is free.”

“If the smoke alarms are not working, the firefighters will replace the batteries or install fully functioning alarms,” says a Domino’s press release unsubtly promoting ordering pizza rather than making your own at home, which is a much greater fire safety hazard.

Americans are getting crushed by health insurance with monthly payments of $1500, $1700, and over $2000 per month.

Instead of a revolving door of foreign government leaders to the White House, I’d like to see Health Insurance CEOs in there getting chewed out on live television.…

“Health Insurance is out of control!!!” the suburban mom, who would more typically post about Jewish space lasers and replacement theory, continued in her tweet after the cutoff.

Convicted felon President Trump tells Politico Playbook he and his regime really are sticking to that bullshit line about Democrats’ shutdown goal: To ensure that illegal immigrants get free government healthcare – the logic being that cutting Medicaid and Obamacare subsidies for everyone will save taxpayer money because a small number of illegal aliens have allegedly gamed the system.

“We don’t want to give illegal aliens the health care of Americans,” said Trump, adding that the Democrats “want to destroy health care in America by giving it to millions and millions of illegal aliens. There’s not money for that. Nobody has money for that.” And that’s the extent of the quotes.

At no point did the Politico Playbook reporter write that she had asked Trump to point out the specific provision in the Dem proposal specifying they want to give undocumented immigrants access to Medicaid or Obamacare subsidies. Or an estimate of how many were benefitting.

Meanwhile the Mountain State Spotlight reports that 60,000 West Virginians stand to lose their ACA subsidies without the fix that none of the state’s four Republican members of Congress want to vote for. The only one of them to even answer the Spotlight’s request for comment was Senator Jim Justice’s office with a spokesman saying “This government funding package is not the correct vehicle to address something like this. He believes the discussion to be had on this issue shouldn’t be under the gun of a government shutdown.” This as if Dems are supposed to just surrender, keep the lights on, and then trust the GOP to want to correct their own fuckup.

Seeking to head off any emergent alternative lifestyles that are no doubt already happening at a small scale, Republican Ohio State Representative Thaddeus Claggett (yeah, that name is real) on Friday introduced House Bill 469 “To Declare AI systems nonsentient, prohibit legal personhood.”

If that sounds superfluous it’s because yeah, it is pretty superfluous since good fucking luck finding a judge that would allow you to legally declare ChatGPT is your spouse. But crafting incredibly redundant legislation that can just be superseded by a future majority is a Republican special so why the hell not put this up and get some derisive news coverage outside of the Buckeye State?

Relevant text of the bill: “Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, AI systems are declared to be nonsentient entities for all purposes under the laws of this state. (B) No AI system shall be granted the status of person or any form of legal personhood, nor be considered to possess consciousness, self-awareness, or similar traits of living beings. No AI system shall be recognized as a spouse, domestic partner, or hold any personal legal status analogous to marriage or union with a human or another AI system. Any purported attempt to marry or create a personal union with an AI system is void and has no legal effect,” written as if such attempts would have any legal effect now.

These fucking freaks really are that desperate to disown their guy for massacring Mormons. The problem is that the top pic was posted six years ago and even if it wasn’t the bottom is such a piss poor job. Notice that the swatch covering the Trump 2020 logo is just a copied inversion of Michigan MAGA terrorist Thomas Sanford’s ample gut, plainly the work by an amateur who has no idea how to take advantage of the “generative fill” feature that’s been heavily promoted by Adobe.

Google-owned YouTube on Monday “reached” a $24.5 million “settlement” with convicted felon President Trump over a lawsuit he filed after they banned him for inciting an insurrection, the Wall Street Journal reports. The funds will mostly go to constructing the fat fuck’s garish ballroom.

Congressional Democratic leaders told media that convicted felon President Trump seemed more open to a deal to keep the government open than Republicans did, per Punchbowl’s Jake Sherman from the scene as Chuck Schumer, John Thune, Hakeem Jeffries, and Mike Johnson exited the high-stakes meeting on Monday. “There were multiple times where Leader Jeffries or Leader Schumer would say, ‘You know what, we should be doing this,’ and the president of the United States would say, ‘Yeah, absolutely. Let’s have that conversation, but we’re going to do it in the context of the people’s government being open,'” said Jaydee himself to reporters after he left the Oval Office.

The $50,000 handed to convicted felon President Trump’s now “border czar” just over a year ago in an undercover FBI sting was actually a down payment on a $1 million bribe, MSNBC reports.

Convicted felon President Trump’s regime have made 10 percent fewer drug arrests since year-to-date vs 2024, according to Reuters, who conclude that it’s the fat fuck and his creepy sidekick Stephen Miller’s reprogramming of the DOJ and DHS to instead deport illegal immigrants.

There was an even larger drop-off – 24 percent – in the number of conspiracy and money-laundering cases that are used as a means of taking down higher-level drug traffickers. Must be that all the dealers are so afraid of Trump that they quit criming and went straight for good.
