The One Question Donald Trump Needs To Be Asked Before The 2024 Election…

May 29, 2023by Matt DrufkeLeave a Comment

With the official announcement that hate-filled potato Ron DeSantis is entering the race for the presidency, we finally have the possibility of a candidate who could overtake former President Donald Trump. However, and maybe I’m crazy, but there seems to be a really easy way to derail the Trump campaign and, quite frankly, it fucking baffles me that no one has directly asked Trump this question.

Here it is:

Where will Tucker Carlson wind up next?

April 24, 2023by Matt DrufkeLeave a Comment

If your super-transphobic family member who seems to only post stupid memes on social media seems a little sad today, I think I know why: their hero no longer has a platform. There is no reason to state this other than with the most blunt of terms: today, Fox News has fired Tucker Carlson.

The worst thing about a former president being indicted is just how little it changes…

April 2, 2023by Matt DrufkeLeave a Comment

This past Thursday, former president (or current president, depending on how Q Anon you may be) Donald Trump was indicted on Thursday afternoon on 34 counts of, assumably business fraud. We can’t be sure because the indictment still remains under seal as of the time of this writing, but that’s a pretty good bet, unless betting on this kind of stuff would also be considered business fraud, in which case never mind. Trump is apparently set to be arraigned this upcoming Tuesday and that is when the real circus shall begin. This is the first time in the history of our nation that a former president has been indicted, which is truly remarkable when you consider some of the real pieces of shit who have held the office.

The national response to this news has been, depressingly, predictable. The pro-Trump outlets believe this is the worst thing to happen to America. The outlets more critical of the former president believe that this could lead to the end of the Trump movement in American politics. Trump’s primary opponent in the 2024 GOP primary (though he has yet to announce), Ron DeSantis, has chosen to attack Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg rather than the guy Bragg is attempting to prosecute because the GOP is such a firm believer in supporting law enforcement. And Donald Trump has used this opportunity to announce that he has raised four million dollars since he has been indicted.

The only thing that any of this has meant is that nothing has changed.

I do not know why sentient piece of human shit Matt Gaetz is trying to ruin the Republican Congress, but I cannot deny it’s fun to watch…

January 3, 2023by Matt DrufkeLeave a Comment

In just a few hours (noon EST), the 118th Congress will be sworn in and the GOP, which hold a very slim majority after barely wrangling success from the jaws of defeat, will have control of the agenda of the House. What will their agenda be? They have made that perfectly clear: if your last name is Biden, you can go eat a pile of shit. Their plans include impeaching Joe and investigating Hunter, but you can assume they’re not going to stop there. My guess is that there will also be an attempt to get Jill Biden’s doctorate reversed and will attempt to have First Dog Major shot in the face.

Thanksgiving 2022: The week that was conservative bigotry

November 28, 2022November 28, 2022by Matt DrufkeLeave a Comment

This past week, if you are a fan of hatred and being a gross piece of shit, then the GOP was just giving you all you could handle and then some. This is the kind of stuff that always makes me roll my eyes, but especially when you consider this: when people talk about the crazy ideas that the “radical left” has, it’s always things like socialized medicine, a fair tax system, working to make sure we don’t destroy the earth, a fair living wage, and removing student debt. You know, things only real pieces of shit would want. Oh, and also, it would be great if police stopped murdering unarmed minorities.

What are some of the crazy ideas of the “far right”? I don’t know, because it’s the same ideas as the mainstream conservative movement.

Let’s dive in:

The Best Understanding of Why You Should Yell at a Douchebag at a Steakhouse…

July 10, 2022by Matt DrufkeLeave a Comment

Wednesday, news was made when pro-choice activists staked out a Morton’s Steakhouse where Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh was eating. According to reports, these protestors called the restaurant and demanded Kavanaugh be kicked out and were yelling so fiercely that the justice had to leave out the back. The restaurant chain called the yelling by the activists, “an act of selfishness and void of deceny”, and if they think that’s bad, they should see some of the bullshit this dickhead Kavanaugh has been doing from the bench!

A lot of the same conservatives who are condemning what happened Wednesday are the same people who also have the dumbest arguments against a woman’s right to choose her own reproductive care. So when they tell us that we shouldn’t be ok with what happened outside this Morton’s all I can think to respond is, “You were the ones who wrote the playbook.”

The Reasons Why Donald Trump May Announce His 2024 Presidential Campaign Shortly (and the one reason that is absolutely not true)

July 3, 2022by Matt Drufke1 Comment

If you are to believe Alex Jones and Roger Stone, Donald Trump will be using the Independence Day holiday as the way to kick off his 2024 run for office of President Of The United States of America, a job he recently held until Joe Biden absolutely decimated him in the 2020 election. Now, short of mental illness, I’m not sure why anyone would trust anything Jones or Stone says, but I do think their prediction has a chance of coming true.

Let’s talk about why.

It’s been two days since the Supreme Court decided to overturn the Roe V Wade ruling which has been part of our nation for the last five decades, and you can already feel that our country is different. By different, I, of course, mean worse.

Everything That Could Break Down Broke Down

May 30, 2022May 30, 2022by copperwriteLeave a Comment

I started this in the small downtown of Edmund, Oklahoma. It was bristling with activity. Sitting in a cozy coffee shop, Café Evoke, I watched as people milled about, popping in and out of small locally owned stores; checking out the colorful diner across the street that looked like it was built from a retro gas station. Clean, bright blue, crisp white and popular. The Sunnyside was its name. Very appropriate for the day filled with brilliant blue skies and a soft breeze rushing down Broadway, a breeze pushing the American flags around.

I was as ready, I guess, as I could be to start my article for the Stanley Cup playoffs. The Conference Finals are pretty much set and a jump on it before the final team gets decided might be a good idea. But the flags wouldn’t let me push aside the malaise having crept into my soul.

All of them were melancholy, waving at half-staff.

I couldn’t write about hockey.

Just couldn’t.

Masks, CRT, Grooming: What Comes Next In Schools

May 6, 2022by Matt Drufke1 Comment

As Teacher Appreciation Week comes to a close, it seems like teachers aren’t getting appreciated at all. All over the country, people have been interrupting school board meetings complaining about the horrible assault happening to the children. From mask mandates to the teaching of CRT to the accusations of grooming (which I’m assuming is not about getting kids to brush their hair), conservatives are furious about what is happening to the youth.

And I have bad news for America… it’s nowhere near done.
