The Endorsement of Donald Trump by RFK Jr.: Who does it help? Who does it hurt?

August 28, 2024by Matt DrufkeLeave a Comment

On Friday, in what a certain sect of America considered a major political move, independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced he would be suspending his campaign and endorsed former president Donald Trump. Kennedy made it very clear that he would not be ending his campaign, but that he would be taking his name off of the ballot of all swing states and states expected to go to Trump. The intention is clear unless you’re an absolute idiot: Kennedy is not really staying in the race, but if he can do anything to take one vote away from Kamala Harris, then he’s damn well going to try. The fact that the junior Kennedy was then announced as part of the transition team showed that it was obvious where his allegiances lie, which is interesting for a man who entered the election cycle as a democrat.

With Friday’s announcement, I thought I would look closely at Kennedy’s decision and ask the following questions: Who does this help? Who does this hurt? Where has the announcement of a political candidate supporting his previous rival moved the needle? Let’s dive in.

Dream Big, Why Not? – written by Jordan Holmes

July 18, 2024July 10, 2024by The Fancy BoysLeave a Comment

You have no imagination and you have less courage. Ah ha, you say, we get it, finally, let’s replace Biden, we’ve heard you!

Here’s what we’ll do, we’ll give Biden… but 20 years younger, or a woman, or something else, but at the end of the day, our idea is DO THE SAME FUCKING THING AGAIN! We are very smart. What are our ideas? I know, do the same fucking thing again. What’s our platform? Do the same fucking thing again, led by Biden who is 20 years younger or a woman or something else.

Why are you accepting that? Why, if now is the time to dream big, if now is the crisis point where we can influence the direction of the party, why would you dream of shit? Why not say the next President should be someone willing to say Go Fuck Yourself to an oil executive. What’s in Project 2025 is terrifying… because some of it is in everyone’s 2025 plan.

Do you think that push for deregulation is going to be stifled by people who could already do so? Why aren’t you dreaming of something impossible if you already think winning is impossible?

If you think getting a toy horse is impossible, you might as well dream of a real one.

Relax, Say “Top Democrats” – written by Jordan Holmes

July 17, 2024July 10, 2024by The Fancy BoysLeave a Comment

This is what I was hoping to hear. Ezra Klein says that Top Democrats say something like, “I don’t know why all these Democrats who think Donald Trump is an existential threat to democracy are acting the way they are. But the reason I’m acting the way I am is because I don’t think that.”

Phew! All of you are fucking stupid. Do you get it? You think Democracy is On the Ballot, but it is actually not on the ballot. So relax. “Top Democrats” think something one way or the other according to some guy. Whatever you were thinking is stupid. Now what you should be thinking is that everything is actually fine.

This is just a social media game everyone is playing with you. Democracy isn’t on the ballot! Democracy never was. There is no such thing in America.

Stop fighting with people! Stop fighting with people who think that Democracy is on the Ballot. Why? They’re lying to you!

Were You Lying? – written by Jordan Holmes

July 4, 2024July 4, 2024by The Fancy Boys3 Comments

I’ve been struggling deeply for the past week, I’ve been struggling with the same feeling I had during Alex Jones’ trial in Texas. I am bipolar, I am prone to mania, I’m prone to delusions of grandeur, so, in general, any time I think I can see something that the rest of the world cannot, I assume I am in the wrong.

Sometimes, I am suspicious that the rest of the world can, in fact, see what I see, and they are gaslighting me. I’m sure I’m right sometimes. But seeing the world through that lens will make you crazy, so no matter what the circumstances, it’s wiser to let it go.

But now, as in the trial, I know the rest of the world sees what I see and I know that the world is gaslighting me.

What’s more, what’s worse for my psyche, is that I know that when I talk to the TV, so to speak, the TV can hear me. I am fucking loud. I am not insane. I am not manic. I am not delusional.

All of you are out of your fucking minds.

Democracy is on the ballot

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Path To The White House

June 20, 2024June 20, 2024by Matt DrufkeLeave a Comment

We are in a perilous time in our nation, and the upcoming November election is not going to make things any better. Between the two viable candidates, neither exactly presents hope for the next four years. What America needs right now, perhaps more than ever, is a candidate who is willing to not only disregard the partisan media, bloodythirsty lobbyists, and the greater demons of their own party and bring our country together in a spirit of compassion, compromise and unity. Neither President Biden nor former President Donald Trump come close to checking those boxes, and it’s gonna be rough living here for the considerable future.

“But Matt,” you might be saying, “you said there were only TWO viable candidates. What about this Robert Kennedy Jr. I’ve been hearing about on social media and some of my weirder friends? I’m sure you just forgot about him and now you are going to go back in real time and change your column because it’s only fair to include everyone with a realistic chance of becoming the next President of these great United States.” If this is you, I have a simple response: Shut up. You are wrong. RFK Jr. has no chance of becoming the next leader of the free world.

Well, that’s not exactly true. There is one path…

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.
