EDITOR’S NOTE: Although The Shinbone Star is winding down its daily operation, some staff members still haven’t gotten the bad taste out of their mouths. Readers can expect random expostulations at least until the bile settles. By FRED BUNCH Most Republican senators say they won’t vote to impeach the deranged creature who incited a riot […]
After five years of daily, hourly, and at times minutes of Twitter ranting, Donald Trump dominated the news cycle with hate, lies and narcissism. Watching his tiny mouth pucker, twist and sneer as he told over 35,000 lies was like an endless five-year barefoot walk on hot, sharp gravel. In spite of everything Donald Trump […]
Before everyone falls ass over heels praising Milquetoast Mike Pence, for standing up to Donald Trump, please remember, he was one of the first to embrace Donnie after his vile “Mexican rapists” speech in Trump Tower. That earned him the selection as Trump’s vice president. Even when virtually every shrink, mental health worker and sane […]
Last night CNN’s Chris Cuomo referred to them as “the feral few.” Just over a week ago they dressed in skins and horns, with faces painted; they were armed, violent, and the horrific, ugly mob that answered the call to overthrow our government — they were the feral humans that comprised Trump’s Army. Ultimately, they […]
Donald Trump, Oval Office Occupant #45, in a final attempt to remain in power, told the crowd during a Jan. 6 “Save America” rally in Washington, D.C., “We will never concede.” He called upon his faithful to storm the Capitol because his once faithful suck-up, Mike Pence, had refused to illegally attempt to overturn the […]
EDITOR’S NOTE: This post contains some naughty words that could offend people who, strangely, are NOT offended by the idea of throwing brown children into cages, gunning down unarmed African Americans, or who think taking sensible precautions during a pandemic that has killed more than 1.8 million people worldwide is an infringement on their personal […]
As desperately as Donald Trump is fighting to cling to the golden goose egg of his Oval Office Occupation, his fall is imminent. It’s been a hard reign, and it’s going to fall. His regime is literally kaput. He lost the damned election by millions of votes. In the last weeks of his tenure, Donnie […]
Monday was a day of historic moments. Watching Donald Trump lose — again, and hopefully for the final time to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris — was high drama and history. Disgustingly, some members of the Electoral College received death threats on Monday, causing at least one to wear a bulletproof vest while other electors […]
December. What an auspicious way to begin the end-of-the-year month. Rudy Giuliani, personal lawyer for Oval Office Occupant Donnie Trump, tested positive for the coronavirus, but not before something on his head — or perhaps from inside — leaked hideously down his face. But that wasn’t all that leaked, because he farted loudly in public […]
Another Thanksgiving in America is history, and, what a day and month it has been. Hands down, this has been the most bizarre Thanksgiving in almost 400 years. Our thanksgiving that Donald John Trump — Oval Office Occupant #45 — lost the election might have felt more sincere but for the fact that he’s still […]
Well, the fat lady finally signed on the dotted line, but not until 16 days of holding the nation hostage by refusing to acknowledge the election of Joe Biden as president-elect. Emily Murphy, 46, the cowardly head of the General Services Administration, was “having the worst month of her life” and was refusing to sign […]
Emily Murphy is having the worst month of her life. She could lose her job at any minute, but it’s hard to feel a scrap of sympathy. She created her own misery. Never heard of Emily Murphy? Join the crowd. Overnight she went from anonymity to rock star — she holds the key to a […]
Cut to the chase: If Democrats can’t win the two runoff elections for U.S. Senate seats in Georgia, Joe Biden is fucked! If the turtle, “Moscow Mitch” McConnell, retains his stranglehold on the genitalia of the Republican Party, then Joe, Kamala and sane Americans everywhere are going to be as useful as teats on a […]
If ever there was any fucking doubt that Donald Trump is a raving goddamned lunatic, post-election events should leave no doubt in any but the most depraved Republican Party member’s pea brain. Trump has twitted that he isn’t going to accept the vote of the people; claims he’s not leaving the office. He’s being backed […]
After four years of the most unqualified creature ever to inhabit the Oval Office, Donald J. Trump has been defeated at the polls. Joseph Biden Jr., after 30 years of trying, becomes President of the United States #46. He was youngest ever to seek the office and oldest to win it. His vice-president will be […]
As excruciating as was for Joe Biden and his family as they awaited those final vote counts before finally being named president-elect, it must have been doubly so for Donald Trump and family. Consider all the unfinished business and decisions that must be running through his tiny brain: I’ve already hinted that if I lose […]
Waiting days for election results is nothing new for me. I grew up in a small farm town north of Dallas. Population around 1,000. The most distinctive building in the center of downtown was a three-story red brick courthouse. Like many rural towns in the area, the pavement is red bricks, laid by the Civilian […]
Never in the recent history of American politics has a political party so blatantly attempted to intimidate voters of all ethnic groups — including those from their own party. Not since Jim Crow days has voter intimidation been so openly blatant, thanks to Donald Trump. In Texas just a few days ago, nearly 100 cars […]
Oct. 6, 2020Vice President Joseph BidenDemocratic Party nomineefor president of the United States Dear Mr. Biden: Donald Jackass Trump, Oval Office Occupant #45, Infector-in Chief, is saying that because you haven’t been infected by coronavirus, you are incapable of handling the epidemic. Please point out, sir, that his own record is indefensible. Please hammer home […]
Oval Office Occupant 45, Daffy Donald Trump, complained last week on Twitter, “Biden’s DNC Speech Was ‘Just Words.’ ” But Daffy, they were beautiful words, expressed in f’n’ COMPLETE SENTENCES! Meanwhile, to confuse and rattle the asterisk pre*ident: Addressing virtual delegates at the Democratic Party National Convention last week, former President Barack Obama said: “I […]
