THREE QUICKIES

1 Pres. Donald Fucking Trump reportedly is complaining that he can't enjoy the White House because his negative coverage has made him realize we're not trapped in here with him; he's trapped in here with us.

2 On Wednesday, Pres. Fucking Trump plans to sign executive orders restricting immigration by refugees and from six Middle Eastern countries, explaining that he is a coward and some people scare him.

3 The Congressional Budget Office estimates the federal budget deficit will skyrocket over the next decade, as Pres. Fucking Trump adds $10 trillion to the national debt by adding $10 trillion to the offshore accounts of the one percent .


Privation Sector
Tornado Survivors Report Trump Running FEMA Like a Business: One of His
Thanks to Pres. Donald Fucking Trump immediately ending government waste and inefficiency, survivors of the weekend's tornadoes in the southeast are now getting federal relief aid with all the efficiency and responsiveness of the private sector--having spent four days on hold trying to get someone to help them.

The weekend's tornadoes killed twenty people and destroyed hundreds of homes. One Georgia official said, "I'm asking President Trump to cut through the red tape and get people on the damned ground here," adding exclusively to The Fucking News, "or end all funding for any group that ever mentions the word abortion, whichever he thinks is best."

Gov. Phil Bryant (R-MS), said he reached out to the administration for help, and then whispered exclusively to TFN, "I wouldn't mind the wait so much, but every time the Trump FEMA hold music is a song I like, the artist asks the Trump Administration to stop using it."

Rescue workers combing through the countryside overnight for survivors say they found no sign of anyone who might have been nominated by Trump to lead FEMA.

UPDATE: On Tuesday, three days after the tornadoes struck, FEMA said it will provide relief to Georgia, whose governor said no, that wasn't accurate, prompting FEMA to place Georgia on hold, then transfer Georgia to another department, which put Georgia on hold again, then transferred Georgia to a call center in Bangladesh, which asked Georgia to verify the account information Georgia had just fucking entered on its keypad, then transferred Georgia back to FEMA, which said they would have to get their manager, and put Georgia on hold.

There's also an interview with Jonathan Larsen, the founder of this site:
http://teamhuman.fm/episodes/ep-20-jonathan-larsen-fake-reality/

Larsen is a journalist, comedy writer, and TV producer who has worked on the Daily Show w/ Jon Stewart, Up w/ Chris Hayes, and Countdown w/ Keith Olbermann. Larsen recently launched TheFuckingNews.com, a news digest that brings context, analysis, and humor to the daily news.

Jonathan joins Douglas Rushkoff to talk about the Fucking News and the new Indivertible Guide. In a wide-ranging conversation, Larsen and Rushkoff look behind the scenes of reporting and discuss propaganda, fake news, and strategies for resisting the reality TV show era of the Trump presidency.

From the Indivertible Guide:

“We believe that the next four—Jesus H. Christ—years depend on citizens across the country standing indivertible against the mainstream media bullshit agenda. Our premise is that even evil Trump supporters and craven TV news people are good at heart. We believe that buying into TV news’ false crises and speculative narratives will only further empower Trump to victimize our fellow citizens or, even worse, us (the specific, actual humans writing this). We hope that this guide will provide those who share these beliefs with useful tools to transform TV news.”
