Former Obama campaign pollster Cornell Belcher, who recently joined disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo’s all-but doomed mayoral bid tells New York Magazine that there is a path for Cuomo to win. Not a big one. “I am not going to blow smoke. It is a narrow path,” said Belcher, whose nickname could be Corn Belcher, adding “But I haven’t worked for a candidate in the past decade who didn’t have a narrow path to victory,” but not naming which ones actually won.

“There is very much a path here for us,” another Cuomo minion said. “But the first step is that Eric Adams has to get the fuck out of this race.” Referencing Adams’ constant back-and-forth, New York Magazine dryly notes that “It doesn’t help that the Cuomo campaign’s multipronged approach rests on something happening that keeps not happening, despite constant rumors that it might.”

The rest of the plan goes that it’ll bring in a shit ton of money because donors will see a non-Zohran Mamdani candidate as more viable and then something something the MAGA people will turn against Curtis Sliwa because he and convicted felon President Trump don’t really like each other.

The consequences for ousted former South Korean President Yoon Suk-Yeol’s fucking stupid December 2024 decision to impose martial law based on some bullshit he saw on YouTube continued to reverberate Monday as Han Hak-ja, the 82 year-old widow of the country’s very culty Church of the Unification – aka the Moonies – faces the clink in an investigation into allegations she bribed Yoon’s wife, now-jailed Kim Keon Hee, with handbags and jewelry, Reuters reports.

Han, called “True Mother” by followers, was married to Unification Church founder Moon Sun-Myung until his death in 2012. The Moonies’ tentacles reach deep into right wing parties across the globe, most notably in the US where their hardcore MAGA gun fetishist local branch run by one of Moon’s sons is called the Church of the Iron Rod and in Japan where former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was blown away with a homemade shotgun in 2022 by a man who blamed Abe’s thrall to the Moonies for his mother’s financial ruin to the cult’s extortionate tithing, leading to their dissolution by Tokyo.

Nowhere else is that less true than in their home country and as such South Korean President Lee Jae-Myung might want to tread carefully when dealing with the leader of a cult whose adherents number in the millions – especially when that leader is a frail 82 year-old woman who showed up to court in a wheelchair. You don’t need to be in a cult to at least recognize those sort of optics can be risky. Then there’s that the Iron Rod church sent at least 80 of theirs to the Capitol on January 6th, 2021. Who knows what they’re going to do in South Korea if their “True Mother” is locked up? Lee should be looking at how the Japanese government wiped the Moonies out systematically as his model instead of parading an old lady’s scalp over some chickenshit bribery charges.

Singaporean officials on Sunday announced that they’re going to hang someone’s guy on Thursday, the South China Morning Post reports. The guy, who was able to get heroin and other stuff if you had his number, stopped dealing in 2011 because the cops found him with 45 grams of the shit.

Someone’s friend’s cousin Datchinamurthy Kataiah, 39, will be the tenth convict taken to the gallows at Changi Prison in the southeast Asian city-state year-to-date 2025, the eighth for drugs.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee pulled in $7.1 million during August, handily beating the NRCC’s $4 million month total, Punchbowl News reports, adding that the Dems also beat the Republicans in the Senate but at a smaller $5.6 million to $4.7 million gap.

The two congressional campaign committees are doing better relative to Republicans than the DNC itself which, although its $11 million was nearly on par with the RNC’s $11.1 million haul, the Donk party’s deep in a hole at $14.9 million cash on hand versus main Republicans’ $83.9 million.

Our teams at Turning Point just pulled off the largest memorial in known history in a matter of a few days.

It was the most attended, most attempted, most viewed.

We had no issues.

Glory be to God.

We love you CK.

Well maybe the 12+ hour MAGA campaign event on Sunday “the largest memorial in known history,” if known encompasses Tyler Bowyer’s knowledge and he deliberately avoided expanding said knowledge by taking about 10 seconds to have Grok check into that for him. “The claimed 100 million viewers is substantial but aligns with or is slightly below figures for [Princess] Diana (2.5 billion) or Pope John Paul II (2 billion). Modern streaming likely inflated Kirk’s numbers, but without verified data (eg, from Nielsen or YouTube analytics), it’s hard to confirm it exceeds these precedents,” the sometimes problematic chatbot said in response to Bowyer’s claim.

Brazilians in all 26 of the country’s states – over 80,000 of them in the two largest cities of Sao Paulo and Rio De Janeiro alone – turned out Sunday in protest of a bill introduced by right wing legislators that would both pardon convicted felon former President Jair Bolsonaro and his allies as well as make it harder to arrest or launch criminal proceedings against lawmakers, the AP reports.

Missing from that article however is the likelihood that the bill will actually pass Brazil’s Senate – the lower House did pass it on Tuesday of last week – then pass judicial review and get enacted and that is effectively none. The protests, which were unusually large for a left-wing demonstration in the country, were more of a preventative outcry than anything reactive to potential amnesty for Bolsonaro and the rest of the fucking assholes that went all MAGA after he lost in 2022.

A man who did business with “viral” Netflix documentary douchebag “Tiger King” Joe Exotic died Saturday after suddenly coming down with a severe case of tiger-itis during a live performance with one of the massive predatory cats at the Growler Pines Tiger Preserve in Oklahoma, CNN reports.

Ryan Easley, who purchased several tigers from Joe Exotic, “lost his life in an accident involving a tiger under his care,” the preserve said in a Facebook post expressing their “sorrow” that an animal feared for its ability to easily kill a human easily killed a human in front of paying onlookers.

“Unleash this monster and one day it will come for you. And you’ll have no principle to credibly invoke in protest when it does. You’ll be left with nothing more than lame and craven pleading that your friends do not deserve the same treatment as your enemies. Force, not principle, will be the sole factor deciding the outcome,” insufferable wiener Glenn Greenwald wrote in a scathing rant about the cancelation of New York Times contributor and Niskanen fellow Will Wilkinson after he joked on Twitter that Joe Biden should have Mike Pence hanged if he wanted to unify the country.

That was in late January 2021, during a pretty low point for MAGA world – and the start of their long and grueling road back to power. A milestone on that road was Greenwald blocking National Zero on Twitter for mocking the 20 year-ish age gap between him and his (now-deceased) husband.

Three federal law enforcement sources tell NBC News that, to the surprise of no one, Charlie Kirk’s assassin Tyler Robinson was a lone wolf and had no links to any leftist groups. “Every indication so far is that this was one guy who did one really bad thing because he found Kirk’s ideology personally offensive,” said one of the sources. Anonymously, of course, just because just acknowledging that someone found Kirk offensive would’ve been a fireable breach of regime’s rules.

Cornered by CNN’s Dana Bash on Sunday on convicted felon President Trump’s lawless reign, Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin went with old “whatabout” dodge to get himself out of the jam, running out the clock on the segment after using another signature Congressional Republican move: telling Bash that Trump is very open and honest with the American people when he’s being a fascist.

Other bullshit from Sunday below:

Stay tuned and try to stay sober.

“Effective today, Sunday the 21st of September 2025, the Commonwealth of Australia formally recognises the independent and sovereign State of Palestine. In doing so, Australia recognises the legitimate and long held aspirations of the people of Palestine to a state of their own. Australia’s recognition of Palestine today, alongside Canada and the United Kingdom, is part of a co-ordinated international effort to build new momentum for a two-state solution, starting with a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of the hostages taken in the atrocities of October 7, 2023. Today’s act of recognition reflects Australia’s longstanding commitment to a two-state solution, which has always been the only path to enduring peace and security for the Israeli and the Palestinian peoples. The international community has set out clear requirements for the Palestinian Authority,” says the official announcement from the office of the Prime Minister of Australia.

“Pam Bondi is doing a GREAT job as Attorney General of the United States. She is very careful, very smart, loves our Country, but needs a tough prosecutor in the Eastern District of Virginia, like my recommendation, Lindsey Halligan, to get things moving. What we don’t need is a Democrat Endorsed ‘Republican.’ I will be nominating Lindsey Halligan to be the United States Attorney in this very important part of our Great Country. She will be Fair, Smart, and will provide, desperately needed, JUSTICE FOR ALL!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Saturday night.

America is the hottest country in the world now. A year ago we were dead, and food products like Hamburger Helper were dead too. Now all thanks to $17 trillion in new deals for international investment, closed borders, lower crime, no inflation, huge success for America – the lowest inflation in history – nobody’s ever seen anything like it. Hamburger Helper is doing incredible, tremendous sales. They love “TRUMP” because our economy is “HOT” and people can’t even believe it.

Lol. The New York Times reports sales of the, um, dinner “helper” line’s 50 or so different boxed varieties are up 14.5 percent in the year through August which is a sign that regular Americans are eating more shitty food because the fat fuck has not only done jack shit to fix the problem that got him elected but has made it worse. Some experts even literally use the term “Hamburger Helper economy,” to describe the kind of conditions surrounding such sales jumps for the product.

In a pretty plain and embarrassingly weak attempt to obfuscate his true reason for smiting his US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, just after midnight on Saturday convicted felon President Trump posted “Today I withdrew the Nomination of Erik Siebert as US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, when I was informed that he received the UNUSUALLY STRONG support of the two absolutely terrible, sleazebag Democrat Senators, from the Great State of Virginia. He didn’t quit, I fired him! Next time let him go in as a Democrat, not a Republican,” after Siebert resigned under pressure to bring a fake prosecution against New York Attorney General Letitia James for mortgage fraud… a “case” for which he brought as many as 15 witnesses in front of a grand jury.

Cops in Sacramento on Saturday announced they had arrested a 64 year-old local man named Anibal Hernandez-Santana after he allegedly fired at least three rounds into the lobby of the building housing the California capital’s ABC affiliate KXTV on Friday, NBC affiliate KCRA reports.

Hernandez-Santana’s political motive – or whether he actually had one – was unclear. The station, owned by affiliate chain Tegna, was the target of protests this week after Jimmy Kimmel’s show was canceled and thus, maybe not coincidentally, one of the affiliates that will be acquired by right-wing conglomerate Nexstar in a $6.4 billion deal that requires approval from the MAGA reich’s FCC.

Experiencing some sort of mental episode on Friday, Republican Texas Senator Ted Cruz told his podcast audience that what the Trump Regime just did to Jimmy Kimmel is “dangerous as hell” and warned that “If the government gets in the business of saying ‘We don’t like what you, the media have said, we’re going to ban you from the airwaves if you don’t say what we like,’ that will end up bad for conservatives,” the Dallas Express reports on a troubling development.

Even more disconcerting is that Cruz was apprehensive enough to break kayfabe by accurately characterizing this as the first true instance of government censorship, thereby negating about three fucking years of “cancel culture” and “Hunter’s laptop” shit that spandex-wearing grapple-freak Jim Jordan wasted a mind-melting amount of time and energy spittling angrily over. That very isolated precursors like the Biden Administration quietly requesting that Amazon throttle anti-vax books during the tail end of a deadly global pandemic maybe weren’t something to get that worked up over in contrast to the present a slowly dying autocrat crushing comedic dissent.

Dem Arizona Congresswoman Yaasmin Ansari on Friday emerged from the House Oversight Committee’s still-ongoing deposition of former federal prosecutor and then convicted felon President Trump’s first Labor Secretary Alex Acosta to tell CNN that Acosta is being less than credible in his answers about his decision to go easy on Donald’s friend Jeffrey Epstein, with Ansari saying Acosta believes “justice was served” in that case and that he’d done nothing wrong in reaching the deal that allowed Jeff to exit a local jail on “work release” to continue abusing girls.

Right off the bat the problem with Acosta believing he’d done nothing wrong is that the reason he resigned from Trump’s cabinet in 2019 was because of the goddamned Epstein case. That piece of shit literally freaking said “I do not think it is fair for this administration’s Labor Department to have Epstein as its focus rather than the incredible economy we have today. The right thing was to step aside,” when announcing his resignation. If that wasn’t consciousness of guilt then it was an acknowledgement that the way he handled an important case in his old job was at the very least pretty goddamned problematic and thus resigning was, in his own words, the “right thing to do.”
