Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Stop Overreacting!"

Latest'n'Greatest:
"Stop Overreacting!"
https://sinkers.org/stage/?p=4086

So — exactly how comically bad ARE Liberals, Centrists and other mutant
beasts in the Democratic Party Zoo going to get about this shit?
Schumer, Pelosi, AOC, "and the rest" are basically selling us out and
handing us over to the Fascists, like "m'eh, waddya gonna do…?" right
out in front of Jah and everybody, and the Liberal/Centrist crowd tells
us to stop "overreacting".

Well, hell — they aren't the ones who are being criminalized and
terrorized for merely existing, so of course.

Assholes

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "No Coherent Message"

"No Coherent Message"
https://sinkers.org/stage/?p=4082

Yeah, that's right — a wannabe Mussolini has just bullied his way into
the White House and is terrorizing the country, his Seig-Heiling
rocket-powered dildo-building buddy has basically stolen the keys to the
Treasury and is getting ready to loot the place, and the Democratic
Party... has no coherent message.

No coherent message. Like, not even "fuck you". Like, they got nothing.
Nothing.

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Fashionably Fashy"

"Fashionbly Fashy"
https://sinkers.org/stage/?p=4076

"Not a single Roman work of art — sculpture, coinage, or painting —
displays a salute of the kind that is found in Fascism, Nazism, and
related ideologies... It is also unknown to Roman literature and is
never mentioned by ancient historians of either republican or imperial
Rome. The gesture of the raised right arm or hand in Roman and other
ancient cultures that is attested in surviving art and literature had a
significantly different function and is never identical with the modern
straight-arm salute."
— Martin Winkler, in "The Roman Salute: Cinema, History, Ideology"

...just in case you run into any fashy apologists or Musk symps trying
to explain it away by saying it's a "Roman Salute".

So just cut the crap already, 'cos all the wide-open fash are wide-open
loving it and — like the original — the Early 21st sequel also features
craven-ass collaborators, in the form of the Democratic Party.

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Hooray For Gazawood!"

"Hooray for Gazawood!"
https://sinkers.org/stage/?p=4071

I was peeping the news from L.A. along with Kathleen Wallace's recent
Substack column about Boss Media hand-wringing over the fate of film and
TV stars whose homes were lost in the fires which got my brain sizzling,
but the final inspiration was overhearing some smarmy, plaintive woman's
voice on MSNBC talking about people whose homes and neighborhoods lay in
smoking ashes, burning schools and playgrounds, people who'd lost
everything and had to evacuate with nothing but what they could shove
into a bag, living in their cars, living in tents — and it sounded for
all the world as if she were describing Gaza, except she was talking
about goddamned L.A. ...and I thought of News Nation, CNN, the L.A.
Times and Associated Press clutching their pearls and moaning OH, WON'T
SOMEBODY THINK OF THE STARS...?

Y'mean, the Hollywood stars who pimp and symp for Israel and Zionism,
who gladly, gleefully support the incineration and destruction of
neighborhoods like theirs on the other side of the Earth by the Chosen
People™? Y'mean, THOSE stars?

Hooray for Gazawood!

this..."

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Can You Hear Us NOW? (Happy New Year '25)"

"Can You Hear Us NOW? (Happy New Year '25)"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=4063


"...the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet
we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the [indecipherable]
largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google,
Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the
reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and
they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the
American public has allowed them to get away with it..."

—Luigi Mangione, Statement of 12.04.2024 as posted by Ken Klippenstein

For some time now, even the clods on MSNBC and in the Democratic Party
have acknowledged that yes, there is a class war going on. I'd just been
wondering how long it was going to be before the working class got off
its ass and started shooting back.

Cripes, man... how many years now — since at least the first Trump
Regime — has the U.S. Left been pummeling us silly with academic jargon
like "praxis" and hardly ever at all actually showing us "praxis" in
action (as it were)?

Now, you vegan-potlucking clowns want to talk PRAXIS? Luigi served us up
some praxis, sizzlin' hot and spicy.

Happy New Year, MUTHAFUCKAAAHHHHS.

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "God Bless Us, Every One"

"God Bless Us, Every One"


When I first caught the news about the Brian Thompson shooting, I didn't hear it all — just "United Healthcare CEO" and "shot in NYC", and that was about it. I assumed it was your standard-issue random street crime until I started getting the details — especially the word "targeted" yelled over and over — and thought "whoa, man, shit's gettin' real...!"

Predictably, the Wall Street Journal treated it like the JFK assassination; splashed that CCTV frame over the front page like an Abraham Zapruder frame. The New York Times was surprisingly factual as the shooter really did go to the trouble of stalking Mr. Big Shot and it was, in fact, a pretty goddamn bold assasination.

Gotta love the Washington Post, though; they say the police are looking for a motive — a motive, f'crissake. Hell, gang, if you want a goddamn' motive, you might want to ask around the huge-ass numbers of people who had to go to an ER and were dinged for a $10,000 ambulance ride.

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Hair Of The Dog"

"Hair Of The Dog"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=4030


Yeah, yeah, I know... but the only way to properly express the mood of 
this piece was to set it in a dark, grim mid-20th dive, with a 
permanently-circulating ceiling haze and ashtrays you could cave 
someone's head in with.

Dude should know by now that that old wives' cure never works. He's 
heading for a king-size Trumpover.
It's a quarter to three.

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Garbage no.2 (...garbage out)"

"Garbage no.2 (...garbage out)"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=4024

So, that was the "October Surprise" this time around, huh? That was 
really it? Old Uncle Joe, movin' kinda' slow, suddenly decides to pipe 
up about some of Trump's throwaway trash talk and immediately shits 
out a Basket Of Deplorables moment, right out on live TV in front of 
god and his cat and everybody, less than a week before the "election"? 
Well done. Even if MSNBC immediately changed its format to All 
Abortion Rights Horror Stories All The Time, it probably still 
wouldn't be enough to save the DNC's asses.

Just trying to imagine the scene around the DNC campaign offices right 
now... imagining Uncle Joe, still and quiet for all these weeks — they 
really thought they had him buried this time — suddenly clambering 
clumsily out of the grave like Tor Johnson in Plan 9 From Outer Space 
to drop a big, hot steaming Gaffe From The Beyond.

Mind you, I'm not arguing with the truth of El Presidente's blabbage 
about Trump supporters being garbage, here; that's as maybe — but, 
still, when you're a sitting President of the United Snakes Of Amerika 
who's had to drop out of a re-election campaign after your brain fried 
out on live national TV, and who's proudly facilitating and defending 
the brutal, venal crimes of two of the most garbage human beings 
walking the Earth at the moment, and whose actions in the past year 
have at last fully revealed American/Western traditions and 
institutions to be complete garbage... you might want keep a lid on 
that name-calling shit.

Fluggenock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Cheap Groceries"



"Cheap Groceries"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=4015


On top of this CNN Town Hall shartage, my regular "Random 15" from 
MSNBC included Kay-Kay speaking at a rally where she makes the big 
buildup to the working class, only to cap it with a declaration that 
she will ban price gouging on groceries... all in that classic 
delivery of hers, that sounds as if she studied public speaking under 
Hillary Clinton, like a foreign actress who had to learn her lines 
phonetically. Dear GOD, just listen to that scolding junior-high 
principal voice, so full of passion and conviction when she talks 
about goddamn CHEAP GROCERIES. ...and the crowd's going wild for that 
shit; just listen to 'em, as if cued by an electric sign, like a 
game-show audience.

This, apparently, is going to be her signature achievement if she wins 
the "election", if her hands aren't too full with the goddamn 
GENOCIDE. Yeah... not a Great Society, or voting rights, or going to 
the Moon... nahh, just cheap groceries.

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Choose Joy."

"Choose Joy"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=4004

So, I'm out doing my laps earlier this week, and I spot this lawn sign 
in front of a house about 2 blocks around the corner from us — and all 
I can think is that somebody in the DNC's ad agencies isn't quite 
clear on the concept of "joy". Not just as an intelligent human, but 
as a designer and art director with 30+ years in the biz, I gotta say 
that this choice of color and typography does NOT bespeak "joy".

The sign glowers at me, dark and mean, telling me to "choose joy" as 
if issuing an order, as if implying "...or ELSE" — coming off like the 
latest in a long line of fascistic, authoritarian slogans: War Is 
Peace, Freedom Is Slavery, Ignorance Is Strength; Arbeit Macht Frei; 
Country Over Party. Choose Joy, or else.

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Welcome...! (Instant Karma no.2)

"Welcome...! (Instant Karma no.2)
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3997


I wish I'd screenshot or bookmarked the tweet I spotted on Facebook 
featuring a grinning Kay-Kay and Netanyahu shaking hands, with a 
headline announcing the latest amount of my tax money being shipped 
off to fund a genocide in Palestine. Not that it matters that much 
these days, as it's always such an insanely stonking amount of cash 
that remembering the actual goddamn number doesn't seem that important 
anymore.

Luckily, though, I did save this headline from the Washington Post a 
couple of days ago, about how the Small Business Administration's 
disaster relief fund is already tapped out. Tough luck, MAGA Boy, the 
money to rebuild your surf shop just went to bomb a bunch of people 
living in tents.

What goes around, America...

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "What If He Loses?"

"What If He Loses?"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3942

For the past month or so, MSNBC has been clutching every available 
pearl over how Donald Trump and his deformed minions will handle the 
possibility of losing the "election". Will they pitch a fit, scream 
"fraud" and try to lay siege to Capitol Hill to disrupt the electoral 
vote count and stage a putsch as they did in '21?

Personally, I can't help asking the same question about the 
Donkeycrats: how will THEY handle losing to a dude who resembles a 
villain from an old "Columbo" episode and whose followers are some of 
the most intensely stupid beings walking upright on Earth; how will 
THEY roll with a well-deserved ass-paddling at the polls after 
spitting in the faces of every Muslim-American and every American who 
actually cares about piddling shit like genocide.

Will the Democrats, on facing defeat, do some institutional 
soul-searching, self-examination and self-evaluation, accept 
responsibility and get to work on solutions or — as they've always 
done — pitch a fit, scream "fraud", blame the Left, blame Russia, 
create a climate of good old-fashioned McCarthyist bullying, fear, 
suspicion and suppression and try to litigate and investigate their 
way into power, as they did in '17?

Bwah ha ha ha ha ha hah, d'ahh, hell, man; who are we kidding?

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Magic Kingdom (or, Hope'n'Joy)"

"Magic Kingdom (or, Hope'N'Joy)"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3935

My customary Random 15 Seconds Of MSNBC the other morning featured 
some nasal-vocal-frying "guest analyst" from some dime-a-dozen 
downtown think tank babbling to the effect of "...Dick Cheney is 
changing hearts and minds — great!" while discussing ex-VP Dick 
Cheney's announcement that he's voting for Kamala Harris. Hot damn 
diggety, talk about a positively ringing endorsement.

Looks like the DNC is totally hitting the goddamn trifecta this time 
around, too — they've got Liz Cheney denouncing Trump, her old man — a 
known worldwide war criminal — announcing he's voting for Kay Kay, and 
they've already had GEORGE W. BUSH SPEAKING AT THEIR GODDAMN 
CONVENTION, F'CRISSAKE.

So, am I the only one here who remembers when the DNC thought that 
Cheney was the walking, talking, living, breathing earthly embodiment 
of pure evil and that George W. Bush was THE WORST PRESIDENT EVAH? No, 
really, I mean it, 'cos I need to make absolutely 110% sure that I 
didn't totally fucking hallucinate the past quarter century.

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "I'M speaking!"

From Mike Flugennock:

"I'M speaking!"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3929

That kind of lean-in feminist schtick might go over well on a clod 
like Mike Pence, but when you pull it on a bunch of citizens who your 
party has gone out of its way to try to silence and who are calling 
you out on your involvement in an ongoing genocide in Palestine, it 
just shows the whole goddamn country who you really are.

You came right out of the gate spitting in the faces of moral people 
who are speaking up about US/Israeli crimes in Palestine, telling us 
to shut up and sit down until it's time to turn out at the polls to 
vote for rich American women's abortion rights or some shit, and now 
you drop your sweetie-pie girl boss bullshit on us.

Not only will we not be voting for genocide, but many of us will not 
be voting at all, as the events of the past year have shown us what 
American "democracy" really is.

MSNBC has gone into full-on Panic Mode, peak Pay No Attention To The

I loved watching the Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus 
blustering that Biden Is The Nominee, Dammit, He's Playing

Fjords in a desperate attempt to convince us — or mostly himself — 
that Genocide Joe really can see around corners, and I loved a

shouting at the viewers that Uncle Joe can slice'n'dice Trump with one 
hand tied behind his back and is just stunned right now, and he 
doesn't want any shit about it.

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Doubts In The Donor Class"

"Doubts In The Donor Class"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3900


Ever since the last "debate", I and millions like me are walkin' on 
sunshine because finally, at long last, the mask is finally off. After 
that classic episode of Must-Not-Unsee TV, there's no getting around 
the fact that our ruling class is entirely incompetent, that democracy 
and the "rules-based order" are s sham, and that Amerika and the West 
have fallen and can't get up.

MSNBC, CNN and the New York Times are boiling with Liberal panic and 
denial right now — panic and denial so thick you can smell it through 
the TV set — and I can't pretend I'm not enjoying it. Joe Scarborough 
was priceless; dude was shouting — like, really yelling — about how 
insanely awesome Joe Biden is, how he could leap tall buildings and 
has x-ray vision and rescued the economy and is the only thing 
standing between us and fascism, yelling so loudly that you could hear 
the echo in the studio; absolutely hilarious. You could almost see the 
little wisps of cartoon steam coming out of his ears.

In the "weighing how to respond" department, I hear that most rich-ass 
DNC donors have been upping their day-drinking game when lacking the 
cajones for suicide.

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Netanyahu's Comin' To Town"

"Netanyahu's Comin' To Town!"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3892


"The invitation of Netanyahu, signed by the 'bipartisan leadership of 
the United States House of Representatives and the United States 
Senate,' is a political provocation against mass opposition to the 
genocide in Gaza, in the US and throughout the world. It is a 
declaration of political and moral solidarity with a murderer who has 
been accused by the top prosecutor of the International Criminal Court 
of war crimes."
—from the Statement of the World Socialist Web Site Editorial Board, 
06.10.2024

"All over, people changin' their votes along with their overcoats;
If Adolf Hitler flew in today, they'd send a limousine anyway!"
—The Clash, 1977

The Editors of the World Socialist Web Site blog are calling for a 
mass mobilization to greet Israeli Führer Benjamin Netanyahu when he 
comes to slime Washington, DC on July 24 and I, for one, am absolutely 
down for giving this sonofabitch the welcome he deserves when he comes 
barging into my city.

So, here's my contribution to the propaganda effort, complete with 
"your message here" space, suitable for printing — and wheatpasting — 
at 11x17 on any walk-up digital color copier.
