How Elections Work In This Dimension

NEWSFLASH: Elections aren't held on TikTok, Instagam, or X Twitter, sucker-ass chumps!

Red Mirage, Blue Shift, Online Cope

What Spencer Pratt’s viral campaign tells us about online hype, election fraud spin, and what we'll see in the 2026 midterms.

However, the season finale is upon us, and it’s taking the form of a proliferation of predictable conspiracy theories promoted by people who should know better.

The LA mayoral primary’s devolution into conspiracy tropes, Polymarket screenshots, and Grok fact-checks is useful because it shows a script we are going to see again in 2026: viral candidate overperforms in the feed, ordinary ballot-counting reveals a different reality, and the people who conflated engagement with votes decide that there’s something suspicious about the count.

"People who should know better". The problem is not that they should know better, it's that they don't care, & are hoping to lie themselves into power. You know, completely evil Republicans.

"Reality Show" performers are would-be actors who can't act but are obnoxious jerks. America loves obnoxious jerks. Seen the "President"?

Previously on Web of Evil (& Ennui), Spence sez: "'They' are raping the dogs!!" And that HYDROXYCUT® crap didn't do much for that pudgy face, did it? They must've dumped his useless fat ass & then he decided on running for Mayor as his next scam. That anyone voted for this show biz puke is a complete & absolute condemnation of the species Homo sapiens.

"More Aggressive Than Usual ..."

W/ Friends Like These ...

Pentagon raised threat of Israeli spying on U.S. to highest level, sources say

"

The counterintelligence threat level was raised by the Defense Intelligence Agency in recent weeks after growing concerns that Israeli espionage had become more aggressive than usual, sources say.

One lies, another swears to it, & two decline/don't respond:

A spokesperson for the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C., said in a statement that it is “completely false” that Israel spies on the U.S. “Israel does not gather intelligence on American entities, let alone US government officials,” the spokesperson said. “Israel intelligence collection efforts are aimed at its enemies, not its allies. Any claims to the contrary are either misinformed or politically motivated.”

The Pentagon declined to comment.

A White House official said in a statement, “This entire story is false and sourced to someone who doesn’t have any knowledge of what’s going on.”

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which oversees all the U.S. intelligence agencies including the DIA, did not respond to a request for comment.

Remember the U.S.S. Liberty attack. There are no accidents, only lies.

Israel apologized for the attack, saying that USS Liberty had been attacked in error after being mistaken for an Egyptian ship. Others, including survivors of the attack, dispute this account, and state that the attack was deliberate. Thomas Hinman Moorer, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, accused President Lyndon B. Johnson of having covered up that the attack was a deliberate act. In 2004, Ward Boston, who served as chief counsel to the Naval Board of Inquiry affidavit stating that President Johnson and secretary of defense Robert McNamara had ordered that the assault be ruled an accident and to reach the conclusion "that the attack was a case of 'mistaken identity' despite 'overwhelming evidence to the contrary.'"

Fascist scum, the entire country, justified by quotes from their Big Lying Book of Lies. "We're special because a Big Invisible Fairy in the Sky 'chose' us, for no particuar reason!" Not much of a justification for wholesale murder.

And fuck Putin & the Russians to hell too. What's their justification?

Jamaica's tamarind season, commonly referred to as "tambrin season", generally takes place from January to March. This time frame is culturally tied to the economic downturn following Christmas. The term "tambrin season" describes a period of economic struggle after the Christmas holidays.

Or the four-plus yrs. of economic struggle after electing a Republican President.

Friday Reads: Trump Is Not a Manly Man. Manly Men are Not Obsessed With Redecorating

Priorities.As noted yesterday. bostonboomer has done their own research, & there's plenty.

I know this isn’t politically correct, but I’ve always thought that Trump was a bit effeminate–in his looks and his behavior. How many “manly men” are obsessed with interior decoration even in the middle of a war?

Not to mention that he’s in an apparently loveless marriage. His wife doesn’t sleep with him or even live with him, and reportedly has to be paid to appear in public with him. Maybe Melania is just a beard.

Come out of the closet & then get off the stage, you horrid scumbag! Also digby.

Queer As A Quail!

Straight Outta The Closet

A world of secret hungers
Perverting the men who make your laws
Every desire is hidden away
In a drawer... in a desk
By a Naugahyde® chair
"Brown Shoes Don't Make It" — F. Zappa

Ashley Parker: “President Trump delights in playing what he calls ‘the gay national anthem‘ whenever he wants to rev up a crowd. He’s obsessed with Elton John, was once friendly with Liza Minnelli, and has a Liberace-esque flair for gilded interiors. One of his favorite sports to watch—mixed martial arts—is basically sweaty, semi-naked dudes. And he is a deep and vocal admirer of the physique of fellow men…”

“Some of Trump’s allies note that years before gay marriage was legalized, Trump had gay friends, took pro-gay stances, and allowed gay people to join his private club in Palm Beach starting in the mid-1990s. Ric Grenell became the first openly gay person to hold a Cabinet position when Trump appointed him acting director of national intelligence…”

“To be clear: Trump says he is attracted only to women and, in fact, has been married to three of them. He once hosted the Miss Universe pageant, was caught on tape saying that he loves to grab women “by the pussy,” and was found civilly liable for sexually abusing a woman. Loads more have accused him of sexual misconduct…”

“But there’s also little doubt that Trump has unabashedly embraced the aesthetic—the je ne sais quoi—of a certain kind of gay man.”

Fat bastard's probably spent the last 70 yrs. trying to resist his hidden desires. Is this the root of his innumerable mental & emotional problems, or would he have been a royal piece of shit anyway? All the "pussy-grabbing" sounds like Don Juan Syndrome to this reporter:

A male paraphilia in which insecurity about masculinity and/or latent homosexuality is masked by multiple sexual liaisons with different female partners, without emotional commitment, but not as a paid gigolo, hustler, or call boy

It obviously doesn't like women. See also: Roy Cohn.

Shut Your Festering Gob, You Tit!!

Cold Hard Facts From The Land Down Under:

An Australian responds to Lumpy's usual whining.

“Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can’t cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money.

A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive.

A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy.

A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.

You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven’t even been convicted of anything. They’re just too poor to make bail.

Your life expectancy is going backwards. You’re the only developed nation where that’s happening.

Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba’s.

Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker’s stock to your mates.

Your minimum wage hasn’t moved in 15 years.

You’ve got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn’t attack you.

And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.

And you’re calling Greenland poorly run? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no. ‘NATO wasn’t there when we needed them.”

When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn’t even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years. And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.

So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth.” – Tony Locke

[From Twitter, via Hullabaloo.]

Why Bother?

Tom Nichols: “The United States is fighting, in some form or another, with almost everyone. America’s in a hot war with Iran and a cold war with China and Russia (even if President Trump hasn’t figured that out). Trump has ignited various trade wars, and keeps talking up a possible conflict with Cuba.”

“And just for good measure, the president Trump seems still obsessed with grabbing Greenland, which would spark a confrontation with NATO, the most powerful and successful alliance in history—and one supposedly led by Washington.”

“This might seem like a good time for some traditional diplomacy: deploying ambassadors to smooth ruffled feathers, assure friends and warn enemies of American resolve, and work out details on trade and other issues that require professional attention.”

“The problem is that those ambassadors don’t exist. As The Wall Street Journal reported last week, the Trump administration has left more than 100 ambassadorships unfilled, including some to important U.S. allies.”

Aren't there 100 millionaires or billionaires who've sucked up to Lumpy enough to qualify as ambassadors? The first thing in any presidency is to reward donors & friends w/ ambassadorships. Too dense even to get that right. And of course has no friends.

Not A Boondoggle, A Moondoggle

"Let's Build A Stairwy To The Stars
Encourage A Lunar Economy"

What will this lunar economy be? Dowsing for water? Digging holes to live in? Repairing micrometeorite damage?

NASA lays out moon base plans with landers, buggies and drones at the top of the list

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA is already ordering landers, rovers and drones for a sprawling moon base, less than two months after the Artemis II’s record-breaking lunar flyaround.

The space agency outlined the first phase of its moon base plans on Tuesday, awarding hundreds of millions of dollars in contracts to four U.S. companies.

Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin will provide a pair of landers to deliver moon buggies to the lunar surface, at a spot near the moon’s south pole. These so-called lunar terrain vehicles will be built by Astrolab and Lunar Outpost. Firefly Aerospace, which landed successfully on the moon last year, will deliver the first drones to the moon.

Well, look who's getting pork-barrel money: Suck-up Jeff Bezos. Surprise, surprise!

N.A.S.A., or the Dep't. of Space War?

“Then we’ll be able to say, ‘Hey, we’re permanently here and we’re not giving it up,’” said NASA’s moon base program executive Carlos Garcia-Galan.

Garcia-Galan envisions a moon base sprawling over hundreds of square miles, with a perimeter marked by drones, dubbed MoonFall, stationed at the corners.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said these territory markers are meant to be respectful of other countries’ spacecraft and equipment that might be nearby. He expects reciprocity in the matter.

The goal of the moon base is to encourage a lunar economy while conducting scientific research and laying the foundation for a Mars expedition, Isaacman stressed.

“For those waiting patiently, the grand return is close at hand and we will not slow down,” Isaacman said. “We are really just getting started.”

Marking their "territory", like the animals they are.

Not that anyone cares, but:

Article 3

1. The moon shall be used by all States Parties exclusively for peaceful purposes.

2. Any threat or use of force or any other hostile act or threat of hostile act on the moon is prohibited. It is likewise prohibited to use the moon in order to commit any such act or to engage in any such threat in relation to the earth, the moon, spacecraft, the personnel of spacecraft or man- made space objects.

3. States Parties shall not place in orbit around or other trajectory to or around the moon objects carrying nuclear weapons or any other kinds of weapons of mass destruction or place or use such weapons on or in the moon.

4. The establishment of military bases, installations and fortifications, the testing of any type of weapons and the conduct of military maneuvers on the moon shall be forbidden. The use of military personnel for scientific research or for any other peaceful purposes shall not be prohibited. The use of any equipment or facility necessary for peaceful exploration and use of the moon shall also not be prohibited.

Of course these United Snakes may not have signed the agreement, & so what if we did, huh?

Memento Mori

Trump Is Dying

The Walter Reed Lie, for the 100th Time

He is seventy-nine. He turns eighty next month. He went to Walter Reed today, his third visit in thirteen months (“Totally normal! Just a third checkup in a year!”), and the White House would like you to believe this is a wellness influencer’s self-care routine rather than what it obviously is: the late-stage management of a long-abused body breaking down in public.

In all fairness, this reporter visits the croaker every three months. Of course, it takes 20 mins. or so; they check my weight, blood presssure & blood, sometimes I pee in a cup (Which has nothing to do w/ lab work & I don't know why I mention it here.) so it's nothing that couldn't be handled by the White House physician in that now-ruined dump. I'm certainly not visiting a hospital for who knows what every quarter. If there's a dental facility in the Executive Mansion there must be a scale, a sphygmomanometer, a few needles & vials & a phlebotomist & a cup. ("Circumstantial evidence" of FDR being administered cocaine for his sinuses the afternoon of 7 Dec. 1941.)

The conventional read is that this is power … the dictator phase, the strongman unleashed.

I want to suggest the opposite. Strongmen at the height of their game don’t need the ballroom. They don’t need to rename the Kennedy Center after themselves. They don’t need the gold leaf, the fake portraits, the rebranded monuments and memorials.

That’s the behavior of a man who knows the clock is running and is grabbing what he can while the grabbing is good. That’s Marcos in Manila in 1985. That’s Ceaușescu in 1988, before he and the missus were lined up against a wall.

Genuine power doesn’t need to be advertised this loudly. The frantic, escalating, almost pornographic self-celebration is the tell. It’s a confession in plain sight. The man building his mausoleum while he’s still alive is the man who knows he’s running out of road.

All things must pass.Any M.D.s out there willing to guestimate how much longer Lumpy will be w/ us? What say the prediction markets?
