7.31.18 Bee-otch of the Day: Cody Wilson

Name: Cody Wilson
Age: 30
Occupation: gun nut
Last Seen: Austin, TX
Bee-otched For: being too dangerous for human consumption

---

The city of Austin, TX has a slogan: "Keep Austin Weird".

Weird is nice, but sadly, this cuckoo is absolutely dangerous.

A judge in Seattle has shut down plans for Cody Wilson to publish online blueprints to make ten guns, including the AR-15 that was used in the tragic school shooting in Parkland, FL earlier this year. The blueprints could be used by anybody to make them on a 3D printer. This means that anybody who has no access to guns could make them if they wanted to.

Even though the judge blocked Wilson's plans, over 2,500 people now have access to them online.

Drumpf even tweeted, "I am looking into 3-D Plastic Guns being sold to the public. Already spoke to NRA, doesn’t seem to make much sense!"

Yes, it doesn't make much sense, but since Wilson is claiming is First and Second Amendment rights, well, if the eight Attorneys General that want him to stop, it sucks to be him. Of course, the First Amendment is all about free speech, but when you publish something that might lead to the deaths of many, it's worse than screaming "FIRE!" in a crowded theater, even though there is no fire to speak of.

Wilson is the head of Defense Unlimited, a nonprofit group that was going to post the instructions online. the plastic guns would have no serial numbers and wouldn't need a background check. So, this is good news for felons on the street. The guns are also dangerous because the plastic will break, causing them to self-destruct while shooting.

Sadly, With Repukes running the show, they could allow Wilson to release the plans if they wanted to. But this will be a case that I think will be debated and fought for a long time. I feel that semiautomatic guns have no place in society, period. If you have a mental problem, you need to stay away from guns, period.

If this asshole gets his way, prepare for Armageddon.

Name: Donald Trump

Last Seen: Washington, DC
Bee-otched For: being the laughingstock of the world

Today, Drumpf said something that shook many peoples' heads, like every other day.

Standing next to Italian PM Giuseppe Conte today at a press conference, he told the crowd that we need to be tougher on immigration and that if both sides of the aisle can't agree on something that he would support a shutdown. If the de facto president can't get the federal funding for his proposed US-Mexico wall, it will lead to a shutdown of the government.

On Sunday, the Orange Shitgibbon released this message on Twitter: "I would be willing to “shut down” government if the Democrats do not give us the votes for Border Security, which includes the Wall! Must get rid of Lottery, Catch & Release etc. and finally go to system of Immigration based on MERIT! We need great people coming into our Country!"

But to add insult to injury, there's one family who are usually assholes who thinks that the Drumpfster Fire is only getting worse: the Kochs.

Yesterday, on their Freedom Partners YouTube page, they released a commercial attacking Drumpf's tariffs on farmers and businesses. In the past, the family had been known for being ultra-conservative, but if you're to the right of the Kochs, maybe this could be a problem, after all.

Yes, Drumpf is right. We are the laughingstock of the world. Our healthcare is a joke, schools are crumbling to the ground and many Americans haven't had a raise in a decade. It's sad that the fauxgressives who wanted Hillary over Bernie got what they wanted and in the end, we got Drumpf. Want a better life? Too fucking bad.

As long as we have a two-party system and us bowing to billionaires, the world will keep laughing at us and we're the ones with pig's blood all over our prom dress.

7.26.18 Bee-otch of the Day: the Devos family

BECOME AN AFFILIATE OF T-SHIRT HELL AND MAKE SOME MONEY!

Bee-otch of the Day honors are awarded Monday through Thursday, Bee-otch of the Week is awarded Friday on Chuck69.com.

Name: the Devos family
Age: various
Occupation: rich assholes
Last Seen: Holland, MI
Bee-otched For: getting rammed

25 years ago, there was a TV show called seaQuest DSV. It was a show about explorers who navigate the ocean in the future. The show was produced by Steven Spielberg and starred Roy Scheider. However, the show was canceled because of sagging ratings.

Now, the boat called the "SeaQuest", owned by a family trying to take America into the past is now on hiatus because of somebody who did a public service for us middle class people. They untied the yacht and let it float down Lake Huron.

The $40 million boat was discovered untied Sunday morning and ended up striking the dock, causing $10,000 in damages and scratches to the vessel. It's unknown why the 163-foot boat was in Lake Huron, though Betsy Devos recently spoke at an Ohio school.

The SeaQuest is one of ten yachts owned by the Devoses, whose wealth is estimated at $5.3 billion. The police are hoping that surveillance footage will help them discover the hero.

Well, it sucks to be them. This is a family who made their money on a pyramid scheme and has proudly supported hate groups for years. The fact that Betsy has been trying to destroy public schools as education secretary makes them well-deserving of having their precious little boat become unhitched.

You know, folks, my mom drives an older car. Last week, somebody slammed her rear bumper off her car. Thankfully, insurance will fix it. Then, just yesterday, somebody broke in the car, tore out the radio and threw out everything in the glove compartment. Unlike the Devoses, she works her ass off at her job and doesn't deserve this treatment. It only makes me even happier that she's moving here to Grand Rapids in a few months.

As for the Devoses, their little boat will get fixed. But it sucks to be them. But then again, $10,000 to them is $1 to us.

I just hope that the hero who did this doesn't get caught.

Bee-otched For: running and being unable to hide

When a headline on NBCNews.com reads "Trump's payments to stop stories about women sound like the John Edwards case", it makes you wonder if this is the end of Drumpf as we know it.

With multiple cases against the de facto president, one is coming out of the woodwork with his lawyer's taped conversation with him in regard to hush money to a former Playboy Playmate. Some are calling this situation similar to John Edwards, the North Carolinian Democratic presidential candidate who paid off his mistress, which was a violation of campaign laws. While he was acquitted, the fact that his wife was dying of cancer at the time forever wrecked his image.

Whether or not this will throw Drumpf in the slammer is up to the future's eye. But the sad thing is the fact that he's still the president and still making some idiotic calls. Case in point: his recent diatribe regarding the FCC's disapproval of Sinclair's buyout of Tribune.

On Twitter, the Orange Shitgibbon cried "So sad and unfair that the FCC wouldn’t approve the Sinclair Broadcast merger with Tribune. This would have been a great and much needed Conservative voice for and of the People. Liberal Fake News NBC and Comcast gets approved, much bigger, but not Sinclair. Disgraceful!" The proposed merger was shot down last week over concerns regarding Sinclair's shell companies (i.e. Cunningham Broadcasting and Howard Stirk Holdings) "owning" stations that are operated by the far-right-winged media giant. Up in my old hometown of Traverse City, MI, Sinclair owns NBC affiliate WPBN 7&4, but operates ABC WGTU 29&8, which is owned by Cunningham, which in turn is owned by members of the Smith family, the main shareholders of Sinclair. FCC rules and regulations state that in a market smaller than #100 (TC is #119), a company cannot own more than one TV station.

You know, it's sad that TC only has four full-powered TV stations and Sinclair owns two of them. The other two, CBS WWTV 9&10 and Fox WFQX "Local 32" (God, what an awful name for a TV station), are in a similar situation. 9&10 is owned by Mario Iacobelli while Local 32 is owned by a friend of his, Alex Bolea. Mario's Heritage Broadcasting operates both. Granted, the Heritage stations should be the lesser of both evils, but since 1) 9&10 dropped Howard Stern's Saturday night show 20 years ago for NRA infomercials and 2) they decided not to air a commercial-free 9/11 documentary in 2006 so they could air a movie and cram it with political ads. So OK, who should I get my news from, then? OK, there's WMNN/MiNews 26, whose signal sucks, making it virtually a cable-only station.

Oh, and let's not forget talk radio. Did you know that the #1 progressive talker on radio, Thom Hartmann, is now mostly on tiny community stations? His sole Michigan affiliate is WPRR/1680 here in Grand Rapids. Yet, AM radio is littered with right-winged talking heads who piss on the middle class or what's left of it.

For Drumpf and his troubled presidency to think that they're winning only puts him in the same bracket of lunacy as Charlie Sheen. Or maybe worse since Sheen does not lead a country. The truth is, time is running out. Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein's gonna get shitcanned and even Ivanka's fashion line is being discontinued. Sucks to be them.

Obama ran this country with a golden fist. Drumpf tweets on the shitter.

On Friday, a rarity occurred in the Spring 2018 Nielsen ratings for Grand Rapids.

For the first time in years, country giant B93 is NOT the #1 radio station in town. It's their CHR sister, 104.5 WSNX.

SNX had a 7.7, giving them their best ratings in ages. As a matter of fact, their ratings have improved 30% overall since last Summer. The Bee, OTOH, dipped from an 8.4 to a 7.1.

Despite having an airstaff that's mostly from Detroit via sister station Channel 9-5-5, WSNX mainly led the ratings mainly because of the fact that they're the most-rhythmic-leaning station in town. Rap and hip-hop are hot right now and the fact that both WSNX and flea-powered Magic 104.9 play a decent deal of it are helping their ratings. It's also known that WSNX's Detroit-fed morning show, Mojo in the Morning is doing quite well in the ratings despite a bumpy beginning thanks to the firing of long-time morning man Ken Evans (now at crosstown 105.3 Hot FM).

Number three belonged to WOOD-AM/FM, four was WLAV and WGRD rounded out the top five. Unlike WSNX, GRD is not really on a ratings tear.

From last Winter to this past Spring, WGRD went from a 7.1 to a 4.8, about 32% of its listeners. Why the huge loss? Well, I think it's because of 1) the constant turnover at The Free Beer and Hot Wings Show and 2) the fact that GRD thinks that their listeners - who love Metallica, KoRn, Tool, Rage Against the Machine and others - also love ZZ Top, Queen and other 1970s butt rock bands that no active rock station should ever play.

Look, if I want to hear classic rock, I would be listening to WLAV or 101.3 The Brew (and talk about VERY shitty ratings for that station). But the morons at Clownsquare have shown how incompetent they are by mixing oil and water. Sometimes, I wish that GR could have a rock station that DOESN'T play anything from before 1980. But since three companies control 95% of all the stations in town, well, there you go.

Sometimes, I wish iHeartMedia, Cumulus and Townsquare would all learn about the success story of WION 1430 in Ionia. Fifteen years ago, the station was airing a talk format. Then the owner died and his widow sold the station to the owner of a two other radio stations in Greenville. The problem was that they also owned a newspaper, and they couldn't get a waiver to own both the paper and WION as needed by the FCC. Well, several months later, the station was sold to three guys from Indiana. The station re-signs on the air almost a year after it was shut down. Instead of a talk format, the station - re-christened "I1430" - started doing something that most AM stations stopped doing decades ago: they play music. WION primarily plays a mix of adult hits and classic rock. Since buying the station, the three have fixed the aging transmitter, added an FM simulcast and even purchased the two stations that the newspaper owners owned, now M106.3.

One of the best parts regarding WION is the fact that every election year, they ban non-federal political ads. Why? Because they can. They want to put their focus on the businesses of Ionia. However, more-corporate radio stations have to air them? Why? Because they're in so much debt that they cannot reject any ads. WION, OTOH, probably has way less debt than their bigger corporate counterparts. They know what their listeners and advertisers want.

In the end, WGRD has seen better days. Put the smack down on Jerry Tarrents all you want, but the second he left the building, it seemed that the whole station fell apart. I think it's sad that Pandora has a better new rock station than GRD. Hell, Rock 105 and 95-5 in northern Michigan stays away from butt rock.

While they're at it, they need to shitcan Livewire Nights as well.

7.23.18 Hero of the Day: my aunt

BECOME AN AFFILIATE OF T-SHIRT HELL AND MAKE SOME MONEY!

Bee-otch of the Day honors are awarded Monday through Thursday, Bee-otch of the Week is awarded Friday on Chuck69.com.

A SPECIAL HERO OF THE DAY!

Name: my aunt
Age: was 60
Occupation: former nurse
Last Seen: up in the heavens
Awarded For: being an angel on Earth as well

---

2018 has been a very shitty year for me so far.

This year, I've had to deal with a woman who lived with me who ended up using me financially and two months ago, my Grandma died.

Now, the trifecta is complete. On Thursday, my beloved aunt died from brain cancer at age 60.

She was the middle of my grandparents' seven children. She, like her sisters grew up beautiful and gorgeous in and out. She got married and had a son and a daughter. She spent much of her married life moving around, living here in Michigan and also in Texas and Florida and back to Michigan again. However, the reality of having a steroid junkie as a husband and father caught up with her and finally, they divorced.

After the divorce, my aunt definitely improved her life. She studied to become an RN and found work at the Grand Rapids Home For Veterans. When I moved to Grand Rapids in 2002, she and I became closer. She was like a surrogate mother to me, especially when I was hired at my current job in 2002 and I needed a place to live very quickly. I remembered that she was on vacation at the time and thankfully on EXTREMELY short notice, she let me stay. A month later, I found a place to live and even though we had our own lives, sometimes she would invite me over for dinner. Even more, not longer after I moved out of her apartment, she bought her first house. I remembered how happy she was owning her first home. Her home was always filled with life, especially when my cousins and I were over there. It was always nice having a local family around.

One of the best things my aunt ever did for me besides giving me a place to stay when I moved to GR was in the the early 2010s, I was hurting. I had been in an auto accident and my new car was nickel and diming me to financial ruin. It didn't help that I hadn't had a raise in years all because of my boss's bullshit. So, I decided to donate plasma for extra money. My aunt was so upset about my troubles that she did the unthinkable: she mailed me $50. My aunt was always the type of person who gave you money or would open her door for you if you needed it. When her son lived in GR and he didn't have a job, he stayed at her house rent-free. When her daughter and her family were broke because of a failed business, she and her kids moved in.

Eventually, her daughter and her son moved out of GR. Her daughter now lives in Pennsylvania while her son moved to Detroit and got married. It was just me and her left in GR. We still had dinners and traveled to various places like Detroit or to our yearly family reunion in Howard City, but soon, I would be the last person standing in the Furniture Capital.

Last year at my cousin's baby shower, people noticed that my aunt was acting strange. She wasn't smiling and her eye contact was off. Same problem at work; she couldn't focus hardly at all. She went to her doctor, they did some tests and they broke out with the unfortunate news: she had brain cancer. When my Dad told me late last year, I was floored. How could an otherwise healthy woman who only weighed 120 lbs. get sick? One rumor I heard was that she was getting shots for osteoporosis and it might have been a factor.

After her diagnosis, she had surgery that removed most of the cancer and then chemo. However, things only got worse because of her children. Neither of them wanted to be her caregiver. Her daughter ended up with her, and at the time, she lived in the state of Wyoming. However, her husband did not like having her there, so they shipped her back to Detroit where her son ended up calling the shots. She was put in an assisted care place while her son and ex-husband hired a company to have an estate sale at her old house. My aunt was reduced to virtually nothing.

Things only got worse from there. Her son had an argument with her doctor, so he yanked her out of the assisted living place without any of her clothes and most-importantly, her medication. He put her on a mattress on his floor and went to bed. The next morning, she was having a seizure and somebody called 911. They took her to the hospital and he ended up going home. She would end up at another assisted living place that was close to their apartment. While there, she slept 99% of the time and was in a vegetative state. She could barely talk. Her sister came over and asked her if she wanted them to remove the feeding tube. She said yes, but her son said no. He kept her in misery. To make matters worse, her daughter came to Michigan, but didn't see her. She and her family went straight to Grand Rapids to meet her husband's family. Her excuse was that she would come back next month.

Well, next month never came.

On Thursday morning, my dear aunt lost her horrific battle with brain cancer. Her death was to be expected, though the doctor claimed that she had another year to a year and a half max to live. Her cancer diagnosis was last August, so she lived 11 months. But still, 60 was too young.

Originally, the plan was to cremate my aunt and bury her ashes at the family plot in Howard City by my grandparents. But since she gave her son authority, he changed it to have her buried at a mausoleum at his Catholic church near Detroit. Sadly, my cousin's overuse of the Catholic faith has alienated him from the family. Hell, he and his wife dragged me to Catholic churches twice. Never again.

I went to my aunt's visitation Sunday and since it was Catholic, it was open casket. They dumped a wig on her and she looked like she was 80. It was sad seeing a woman who was like a second mom to me being reduced to this. The worst part of the ordeal was seeing her 14-year-old grandson bawling in tears. He was upset seeing his Graham Cracker like this. Then again, he didn't have a chance to say goodbye to her because of his mom and dad's fucked-up priorities. The funeral was held today and no, I wasn't there.

Sadly, both her children are getting her $350,000 inheritance, plus the $7,000 she was supposed to get from my grandmother when she died two months ago. I expect to never hear from them again. Well, good.

It's sad that these two pricks get a shitload of money and this is how they treat their mother. Oh, and JEBUS is on their side. Sorry, but this is why I'd rather hang out with good atheists over asshole "Christians". I could use some of that money, and it makes me wonder if my aunt left anything in her will for me. I doubt it, but if she did, the kids will probably grab it for themselves.

But in the end, there is some good news, and that my aunt's no longer in any pain. She's reunited with my grandparents and all of the other family members that we've lost over the years. My aunt needs to be remembered simply because despite being a godly person, she was one hell of a woman. She helped our vets, helped people on missions trips and always had the door open for those who wanted to see her. She was a member of Mars Hill Church and had a "Love Wins" bumper sticker long before it became a rally cry for the LGBTQ community. She never judged people, no matter what. She was truly an angel on Earth and maybe, just maybe, God needed her more than we did.

In closing, I'll end this with one of her favorite songs, a song that was a huge hit in 1976, the year she graduated high school. She had a sign on one of her walls that read some of the lyrics to this song.

The sign read, "Dream on, dream 'til your dreams come true". And for her, they did.

Bee-otched For: producing some pretty shitty ads this season

---

Remember that old Looney Tune cartoon where Bugs Bunny and Duffy Duck argue whether or not it's duck season or rabbit season as poor Elmer Fudd watches in confusion?

Well, it's election season. Midterms to be exact.

As expected, the TV has been littered with political ads by the minute it seems. Here in Michigan, the three Democrats seem to be doing their own thing. There's progressive Abdul El-Sayed, who seems to be running the least ads. Meanwhile, there's fake progressive scientist Shri Thanedar, whose labs tested on animals and the more-moderate Gretchen Whitmer, who doesn't believe in having single-payer healthcare. Personally, I'm rooting for Abdul, but I know Whitmer's going to get the Democratic nod for governor. Why? Simple: she's white and more-appealing to voters who swing both ways. Maybe that's why she's leading in the polls. The fact that Abdul is Muslim and Thanedar is Indian and speaks with a deep accent will hurt their campaigns. Hell, I've been to many Indian-owned grocery and convenience stores that are Indian-owned and they are HORRIBLE. They seem to be buying a ton of their goods from Aldi and jacking up their prices. No wonder why people are upset over the character of Apu from The Simpsons!

El-Sayed, Thanedar and Whitmer aren't slinging mud at each other in their ads, but they should. Why? Because the Repukes do it to each other, especially current lieutenant governor Brian Calley and attorney general Bill Schuette. Both seem to tell their voters that they're behind Drumpf, though one will say that the other is not. Ferchrissakes, both you assholes have an (R) after your name, and I ain't gonna vote for you! Plus, the fact that Calley used some of Larry Nassar's victims in one of his ads simply shows that he's trying to look like the good guy here. What the fuck did he do to help the victims.

The worst political ad I've seen so far is our current and thankfully outgoing governor pRick Snyder standing with Calley with the ad talking about the problems Michigan had before he took over the governor's office here in Michigan. The ad was aimed towards Detroiters, with one guy saying that the cops didn't arrive until two hours later, the streetlights were out and that one guy's five kids all had to move out of state because they couldn't get jobs. But thanks to the Stuffed Turd, Michigan's making a comeback. Hey, pRick, how about FLINT? Why are we paying top dollar for car insurance? Why are our schools crumbling? Why are our roads crumbling? Sorry, but the real congratulations should be going to Obama and our previous governor, the great Jennifer Granholm for working together to create jobs. Michigan's destruction in the 2000s was all due to BusHitler's shitty politics.

The sad thing is that I think Michigan's comeback will be stalled with Drumpf's tax cuts. I work in publishing and we're starting to feel the pinch because of all the tariffs that Drumpf helped to set. We've even stopped publishing on 45-pound paper because it's too tough to get. Some of our stock now takes longer to ship. Some of our materials have to ship from overseas because the American version of it isn't of high quality. I just got a raise and I wonder if it will be the last raise I'll be getting for a while.

The Dems have got to beat the Repukes, but they need to be combative. I wish both El-Sayed and Thanedar would attack Whitmer's healthcare record. I wish somebody would attack Thanedar and the fact that he didn't know which party he wanted to go with when he announced his gubernatorial run. The Dems are simply too nice to each other. But since Whitmer's likely to be the next governor of Michigan, we'll see what will transpire in the prelims.

But yes, I'll agree with Gretchen on one thing: it's time to fix the damn roads.

Bee-otched For: losing a battle with the FCC

I don't believe it. The FCC is ACTUALLY good for something!

Yesterday, they blocked the $3.9 billion sale of Tribune Media to Sinclair, mainly because the company wanted to operate flagship WGN-TV Chicago through a shared services agreement through a friend of the family that controls the company instead of owning it outright. The company was hoping that the arrangement would please the FCC, but, well, it didn't.

Now, Sinclair is trying to work a deal where they could still own WGN-TV outright. They would still sell 23 stations but would use their shell companies like Cunningham Broadcasting and Howard Stirk Holdings to "own" these stations.

If and when the ink dries, Sinclair would then own stations in New York (WPIX), Los Angeles (KTLA) and the aforementioned Chicago. They would then own over 200 stations and reach 62% of all US households.

Here in west Michigan, Sinclair already owns CBS affiliate WWMT-3 and the CW franchise on 3.2. They have already announced that WXMI Fox 17 will be spun off to a new company to please the FCC. The company already owns stations in Flint/Tri-Cities (WSMH Fox 66 outright plus WEYI NBC 25 and WBSF CW 46 through subsidiaries) and Traverse City (NBC WPBN 7&4 and through Cunningham, WGTU ABC 29&8). They used to own stations in Marquette (WLUC NBC 6, now owned by Grey) and Lansing (WLAJ ABC 53, now operated by Nexstar's WLNS CBS 6).

The tragedy is that Sinclair is notorious for forcing local newscasts to transmit their ultra-right-wing propaganda, such as their "Terror Alert Desk" and commentaries. They created shockwaves when it was discovered that they were forcing their local anchors to read a bunch of horseshit that was also read in various other markets.

Sinclair is sadly another company forcing their lies onto their viewers. Yes, Ajit Pai is a total dickhead, especially for his crappy-ass meme video regarding net neutrality, but at least it seems that he's listening. SINCLAIR MUST BE STOPPED.

Hopefully, all this can make WGN-TV still "Chicago's Very Own".

Bee-otched For: the reason why we have Donald Trump in the first place

It's been over a day since Drumpf got down on his knees and kissed Putin's ass.

He's back in the mainland now and sadly, he's not in jail yet. Many, like myself are calling Congress to use the power of the 25th Amendment to arrest and throw Drumpf in the slammer for treason. Even his fellow Repukes felt that what Drumpf did was the worst thing they've ever seen in regard to a US president. Even more, his beloved Fox News Channel spent all day trashing him for being a traitor.

Today, Drumpf admitted that he misspoke when meeting up with the Russian president in Helsinki. Oh, suuuuuure. He claimed that it's the only mistake he's made since taking the oath of office.

Ya know, there isn't a day that goes by that I ask myself why this country only seems to support two parties. The media only talks about the Dems and Repukes. Hell, here in Grand Rapids, WOOD-TV 8 hosted gubernatorial debates for the two. They did one for the Libertarians, but it was tape-delayed for last Sunday morning in place of their public affairs show To The Point. I guess if it was aired live, they were scared of losing viewers. Then again, I don't totally agree with the Libertarians, anyway.

Without any doubt in my mind, Drumpf is a fucking liar and needs to be booted immediately. Then again, we all know why he's there, and it's the Democrats fucking over Bernie Sanders in the 2016 elections. The fix was in. In the end, millions stayed away from the polls and even though Hillary Clinton won by three million votes, Drumpf won.

The Democrats still haven't learned their lesson, especially after the 2000 election where Al Gore *barely* won over George W. Bush. Gore made a mistake by naming fake Dem Joe Lieberman as his running mate. End result: 2.8 million voters endorsed Green Party candidate Ralph Nader instead. In 2016, Jill Stein took 1.4 million of the vote for the Greens.

Granted, if America had the popular vote instead of the electoral college, Hillary would be president. But, that's not how it works. True, I think the EC needs to be abolished since it gives more power to states with too few people, and states whose population is made up of those who don't seem to be as well-educated than those in bigger states.

I know that this will be a good year for the Dems but 2020 is the kicker. They need to not tell its voters who to vote for. I think most people only voted for Hillary to prevent Drumpf from being in the White House. But, no matter what, we were all going to be fucked in the long run. The fix was in. The DNC, the media and especially the Clintons did their damndest to prevent Bernie from winning.

But in the end, we all lost.

7.16.18 Bee-otch of the Day: Donald Trump

BECOME AN AFFILIATE OF T-SHIRT HELL AND MAKE SOME MONEY!

Bee-otch of the Day honors are awarded Monday through Thursday, Bee-otch of the Week is awarded Friday on Chuck69.com.

-------

Name: Donald Trump
Age: 72
Occupation: traitor
Last Seen: Helsinki
Bee-otched For: askin' for an arrestin'

---

The more we mention the man known as Drumpf, the more we hope and pray that the Repukes will get their collective asses kicked in the midterms.

Earlier today in a summit in Helsinki, Finland, Drumpf shoved his foot in his mouth by telling the crowd that he supported Russian president Vladimir Putin over the FBI and the Mueller investigation. During the summit, Drumpf also claimed that Putin had no collusion in the US elections. Putin even told reporters that he wanted Drumpf to win the 2016 elections to help strengthen US/Russian relations.

Democrats and Repukes alike on Capitol Hill have both blasted Drumpf for his un-American activities. Instead of blasting Putin, he simply got on his knees and kissed his ass. Many have called Drumpf's comments the worst action he made as president. Many have even called for his arrest once he sets his feet on American soil.

You know, folks, every fucking Repuke president we've had since Nixon has been an embarrassment for this country. I'm wondering if BusHitler's senseless slaughter of 3,000 people on 9/11 and 4,000 more during two botched wars, plus the invasion of Iraq itself was a worse action than what Drumpf did today. Remember, not long after he became president, Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize. After all, we got our troops out of Iraq and captured Osama. However, we're still in Afghanistan 15 years later. Maybe the next non-Repuke in the White House should get one every year he/she/they is president (personally, I'd rather have a flamboyant shemale running this country over the likes of Drumpf).

All I can say is that I hope that this will only be Drumpf's sole term. It's an embarrassment when our country's friends with Russia and enemies with the people we've been friends with for ages. I feel sorry for England, Canada and other nations that treat their people a helluva lot better than us. If Drumpf is elected another term into the White House, I might as well move to Canada. I might as well watch Rome burn while Drumpf plays his fiddle.

We don't have a president, folks. We have a dictator.

7.12.18 Bee-otch of the Day: the State of Ohio

OK, so I put up a picture of the logo of Ohio State. Well, they suck, too.

Anyway, the reason for giving the BOTD to the state of Ohio is because they have some pretty fucked up laws. One of them is that if you're a stripper, you can't touch patrons.

Well, it happened, and to of all people in the world, Stormy Daniels, the porn star who's currently accusing Drumpf of having a sexual tryst with her. Drumpf has denied it, though Daniels passed a lie detector test.

Last night, Daniels was performing at a strip club in Columbus when she groped several women who tipped her at a tip rail. One of the women just happened to be an undercover cop who ended up arresting her. She was later released on $6,000 bail. Daniels' lawyer said that she was set-up and felt that her arrest was politically motivated.

All across America, it seems that it's easier to own a gun shop than a strip club. I've had strippers rub their boobs and butts on my face and body, and guess what? I believe that the minute you walk into a strip joint, anything a stripper does to you is consensual. Yes, I've been hit on by a few dancers who shouldn't be working at a strip club, but that doesn't mean that I'm going to go out and complain to the manager.

The point is, Stormy Daniels' arrest shows that strip clubs need LESS regulation, not more. Yet Repukes and evangelicals alike all believe that they're the problem in society and not the absurd gun laws in America. Strip clubs don't kill people, guns do. Personally, the only times I've been ever offended visiting a strip club is when you can clearly tell when a stripper's pussy stinks like hell, probably from having kids.

And us Grand Rapidians thought that the corpse flower at Meijer Gardens stunk.

7.11.18 Bee-otch of the Day: Papa John Schnatter

BECOME AN AFFILIATE OF T-SHIRT HELL AND MAKE SOME MONEY!

Bee-otch of the Day honors are awarded Monday through Thursday, Bee-otch of the Week is awarded Friday on Chuck69.com.

-------

Name: "Papa John" Schnatter
Age: 56
Occupation: founder, Papa John's Pizza
Last Seen: Anchorage, KY
Bee-otched For: being a racist asshole

---

Not long ago on The Howard Stern Show, sidekick Richard Christie commented that he was a huge fan of Papa John's Pizza.

Of course, he got major flack for his statement, especially since, well, the show's in New York City, where there's plenty of pizza options that are millions of times better than Papa John's. Stern commented with Flatt and Scruggs' "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" in the background that Papa John's should only be eaten if there's hardly any other pizza options in the town you live in.

Granted, most PJ's are in towns that already have better pizza options, like Pizza Hut, Little Caesars and Domino's. Plus, let's not forget the locally-owned pizzerias that your city has that makes better pies than Papa's.

In the past several years, Papa John's has been falling from grace because of their idiot founder and former mascot, John Schnatter. Several years ago, he angered his employees by saying that he was going to cut hours because of Obamacare. Yet, he's worth over $800 million and lives in a $30 million home near Louisville, KY. He even blasted the NFL because of athletes who kneel for the National Anthem, and because PJ's is the official pizza of the NFL, he's crying that he's losing money.

Now, the Papa's been opening his yapper too wide once again.

It was revealed earlier today that Schnatter used racial slurs in a conference call earlier this year. In the call, Schnatter claimed that Col. Harland Sanders often used the n-word and that in his home state of Indiana, they would drag black people behind trucks until they died. The marketing company Laundry Services, which consulted Schnatter has since dropped Papa John's as a client.

Ya know, in defense of The Colonel, it wouldn't surprise me if he did use the n-word. After all, it was the south. I've seen him in ad campaigns where he's sharing KFC with people of all colors. It was different times back then. But guess what? This is 2018. Papa John's a fucking asshole for saying what he said and people need to avoid PJ's like the plague. Look at Little Caesars: Mike and Marian Ilitch built their business from the ground up. Papa John built his business all because of his daddy's bar.

Life is short. Eat better pizza. Let's get Jet's.... Instead.

7.10.18 Bee-otch of the Day: Donald Trump

Bee-otch of the Day honors are awarded Monday through Thursday, Bee-otch of the Week is awarded Friday on Chuck69.com.

-------

Name: Donald Trump
Age: 72
Occupation: orange shitgibbon
Last Seen: Washington, DC
Bee-otched For: burning America down

---

Last night, our nation's worst nightmare got worse and worse.

The Orange Shitgibbon announced that Brett Kavanaugh, a former aide to Ken Starr - the attorney who got Clinton impeached - and current circuit judge in Washington, DC is his nominee to replace outgoing Supreme Court judge Anthony Kennedy. Kavanaugh is 53, so he could be on the bench for as many as 40 or so years.

Of course, Kavanaugh is a conservative and with the SC getting more conservative and younger, especially on the conservative side, many fear that the SC will be far to the right for decades to come. Kavanaugh is notoriously pro-life and evangelicals are pressuring him to overturn Roe V. Wade.

Meanwhile at the same time, while the world is relieved that the boy's soccer team has been freed from that cave in Thailand, there's still young children being kept in the "tender age" prisons over the border. A judge did order Drumpf to release those children back to their parents, but it might take a long time to do so.

It's funny how somebody whose own mother was an immigrant and his wife is also an immigrant spits on Hispanic people. Hell, look at Puerto Rico, almost a year after the hurricane.

It's also funny how those King James Bible-reading assclowns will stand up for someone who wants to overthrow one of the most-important woman's rights laws in the nation and yet when troubled kids are born, they enter a life of uncertainty. I've met a lot of people who were born mistakes and didn't have great childhoods as a result. Women should not be ashamed when they get an abortion. It's not human until it leaves the body and science has long proved it.

You know, we can bitch about how Drumpf got to be president and how the Dems screwed over Bernie, but the reality is that the midterms are around the corner and the we need Drumpf to feel the Bern. The Dems have got to listen to the people instead of corporate donors. People need to stop relying on corporate-funded media and listen to their gut. Listen to the past. Tax cuts don't help the economy. Unions do and so does raising the minimum wage.

I can't wait to put out the Drumpfster fire once and for all.
