It is a goddamn miracle I sobered up from my Holy Shit AlaFuckingBama Elected a Democrat to the Senate festivities.

Since then I have subsisted entirely on think pieces about What a Comical Fuckup Steve Bannon is for Losing Diet Klansman Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III’s Seat. They have been so plentiful, I am engorged to the point of needing to unbutton my pants.

And of course Mitch McConnell has invoked Calvinball rules to avoid seating Jones until he’s passed that tax bill everybody not named Mercer or Koch loathes. Everybody’s posting videos of Yertle taking the exact opposite position when it was Republican Scott Brown who won a special election a few years back, which I find amusing because these people imagine Mitch has shame.

Anyway, let’s give big shout-outs to everyone on the team who made this possible! To the women who came forward to report Roy Moore’s history of abuse, to the journalists who dug up the story, to every Resister in America who forked over a few bucks or phone banked for the cause, to the NAACP for their badass GOTV efforts, to Tom Perez and the DNC for focusing on ground game rather than tv ads, and most of all to the amazing coalition of Alabama voters, especially African-American men and women, who did the actual votin’.  Nice work!

…and of course, to Steve Bannon, for being such a colossal fucking loser. Alabama, dude? If David Axelrod went undercover in disguise to fuck up the GOP candidate’s campaign on purpose, he couldn’t have lost Alabama.

Let’s also laugh at Cory Gardner, for his helpful suggestion that Jones vote like the dude he just beat.  Long as we’re fantasizin’, Cory, maybe Ted Cruz’ tongue will fall out and Marco Rubio will start shitting golden eggs.  Good luck, bro.

I for one will miss Roy Moore’s team of creepy idiot surrogates, who I am told will now form a touring theatre company that performs only a politically-incorrect musical reimagining of To Kill a Mockingbird told from Bob Ewell’s perspective.

Godspeed, ye Giggling Lawyer, ye Think of All the Girls Roy Didn’t Try to Rape Lady, ye Dumbstruck to Learn Swearing in on a Christian Bible is Not Legally Mandated Twit…you shall be missed.

Speaking of perverts, Sarah Huckabee Sanders promised the media a list of eyewitness accounts that would exonerate the Marmalade Shartcannon in the face of his ever-expanding list of sexual harassment/assault accusers.

After a tense Oval Office meeting in which she had to repeatedly insist, “No, Eric’s stuffed animals do not count as eyewitness,” Sanders belched up the names of a few randos, most of whom were demonstrably not in any of the rooms where the alleged incidents occurred.

In two days, she’ll be yelling at Jim Acosta for not accepting the matter as closed.

I see Wilbur Ross has been accused of insider trading. If one of Obama’s Cabinet secs faced similar charges, the world would’ve ground to a halt. In this environment, we’re like, “Wilbur WHO?”

New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand criticized Lil’ Donnie Two-Scoops while female, thus bringing his futile, impotent, tiny-fingered wrath down upon her head. He tweeted something juvenile about how Gillibrand offered to do sex things to his all-but-imperceptible-to-the-naked-eye wiener in exchange for campaign donations, of course with his traditional layer of plausible deniability, because in addition to his myriad other flaws, the President is a coward.

Anyway, God only knows how much money you raised for the Senator, so y’know, congratulations on punting yourself squarely in the scrotum, Mr. President. Again.

That Omarosa person resigned, or was maybe launched by John Kelly via Looney Tunes canon into the stratosphere, leaving the Shart House without a…a…what the fuck was her job again?

Did she quit because Stephen Miller flew into a racist rage as the Alabama results rolled in? Or did she beg for a Cabinet post and attempt to storm the Residence, only to be ejected by the Secret Service? Rumors are abundant…but I don’t actually give a fuck.

Rowdy Roddy Rosenstein defended the Mueller investigation before the House Judiciary Committee, which really shouldn’t be necessary, but it turns out one of America’s great political parties has devoted itself to protecting a cheap crook from legal consequences.

The GOP position seems to be that for anyone in the FBI to think badly of Shart Garfunkel is essentially a crime, and I tried a couple of jokes at the end of this sentence, but actually that’s just kind of horrifying, isn’t it?

Like, the idea is that Trump has the right to be investigated solely by boot-licking toadies like Louie Gohmert? That dissent is disqualifying? That Democrats are, by definition, ineligible to serve in law enforcement?

Rabid Howler Monkey Jim Jordan blathered about how the texts of a single, since-fired FBI agent prove that Mueller hired Tom Clancy to Wag-the-Dog up the whole Russia story from thin air to bring down a cherubically innocent Donald Trump. Now, it doesn’t make sense, but it’s pinballing around the right-wing media at lightspeed, and the FBI’s villainy will be carved in stone within two weeks, mark my words.

Don’t believe me? I have two words for you. Benghazi, and Benghazi.

Jimbo, the overwhelming majority of the the American people recognize Trump for the grifting scumfuck that he is. YOU are the minority.

Resisting Trump is so dang patriotic, the ghost of Norman Rockwell is painting us. It’s like, bald eagles, apple pie, resistance, and baseball, in that order. It’s just a handful of morality-challenged, resentment-driven ragebeasts like you left defending him. And as Virginia and Alabama have shown, we are right outside your door, pal. We. Will. Replace. You.

In a welcome rebuke to our government’s sudden hard-on for authoritarianism, a judge dismissed inciting a riot charges against six Inauguration Day protesters. Yeah, with the government arguing that merely attending a protest where anybody else damages property makes YOU liable for rioting and inciting and god knows what else, I’m more grateful than ever for the Sarandon/Stein Hillary’s-just-as-bad types.

The Government Accountability Office says Il Douche broke the law in attempting to withhold funds from a Department of Energy research office. Yeah, we’re doing away with energy research so Darrell Issa can have more walkin’-around money. America’s gonna be Great Again any minute now, I promise.

Speaking of cuts, Team Shart wants to trim more than half a billion from the Counterterrorism budget becaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuse…we’re…too safe, maybe? Cutting the Air Marshals’ budget? While giving corporations massive tax cuts? If anybody needs me, I’m on the phone with the Oxford English Dictionary complaint line…there’s something wrong with their definition of “populism.”

President Crotchvoid withdrew his nomination of Brett Talley for a federal judgeship for the TOTAL CUCK REASON that Talley is a former “ghost hunter” who failed to disclose his marriage to a White House lawyer and also talked about how rad the KKK was and oh yeah he’s never even tried a case.

And hey, Smallhands Magoo drew a fresh new sexual assault accuser! It’s like an advent calendar of perversion and horror. Wheeeeeee.

The two biggest idiots in the right wing fuckheadosphere (and yes, I realize that’s like saying “the two least funny Marmaduke cartoons”) hatched a little plot to bring down Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. They decided to frame Chuckie with a sexual assault accusation, cooking up a comically obviously forged lawsuit document, breaking some fairly significant laws in the process. Schumer went straight to police, so maybe these Dumber Than Jimmy O’Keefe How is That Even Possible clods will get some sweet-ass jail time.

Shart, Jr. testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee for 9 hours today, but sources tell me most of that time was spent removing a wad of chewing gum the bumbling manchild absentmindedly stuck in his own hair while trying to remember his middle name.

If the Drumpf administration is creating any jobs at all, it’s in the various Cabinet departments’ inspector general’s offices. EPA honcho Scott Pruitt drew a fresh investigation, this time over his $25,000 soundproof wanking booth.

We keep learning more about how GOP CongressPerv Blake Farenthold is basically a Garbage Pail Kid. Will the party of “family values” force him to resign? Joke’s on you, libtards! The only family value is tax cuts for the wealthy!

Oh, hey, this is neat! The Shart Administration won’t tell us how many American troops are deployed in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria! It’ll just be a neat little surprise for the VA when they show up, I guess. “Oh, we don’t have enough beds? Those tricksy Trumpsters, they got us again!”

Well, the net neutrality vote is tomorrow, and the conference committee has their hastily-scrawled tax bill, and they’ll rush to pass it before they’ve even read it (in fairness, that would require Senator Johnson of Wisconsin to first learn to read), so…we’re gonna lose a few in the next month or so.  The GOP still holds the keys, after all.

But when shit looks darkest, Resisters…hold onto Alabama. Hold onto Virginia. And the goddamn midterms are closer every day.

And shit is so goddamn cray that doctors are burning their fucking initials into their patients’ fucking livers.

I’m gonna leave you with one Disgusting Awful Thing and one Heartwarmingly Awesome Thing. The Disgusting Awful Thing is, apparently the Daily Stormer has a “style guide.”  Gross.

The Awesome Thing? Joe Motherfuckin’ Biden. Always Biden.
