The Hat and The Hair: Episode 159

by | Jun 24, 2020 | Hat and Hair, SugarFree | 235 comments

 

The hat let out a chuckle that filled the Oval Office with a miasma of malicious glee.

“What?” the hair asked.

“Oh, you’ll see,” the hat said. “Twitter will ban that account, but I have others.”

“OK,” the hair said, profoundly bored.

“So many others,” the hat said.

“Do you ever think maybe you spend too much time on Twitter?” the hair asked.

“Where is Donald?” the hat asked, ignoring the jab.

“Moping somewhere,” the hair said. “You know, Tulsa.”

“Tulsa doesn’t matter,” the hat said. “Tik Tok is a ChiCom plot. They reserved tickets to ruin his night. Chop suey cocksuckers.”

“And K Pop bands,” the hair said mournfully.

“K Pop… Jesus. Korean faggots dressed up like business lesbians singing about how their tiny little dicks don’t get hard.”

“It’s popular,” the hair said, shrugging his sideburns.

“Retarded globalist pig anus,” the hat spat. “Antifa spent so much time ruining the rally, they didn’t even burn anything down.”

“You sound disappointed,” the hair asked.

“Of course I’m diappointed,” the hat said, rocking back on his band. “Riots are the health of the state. Like a forest fire, they clean out the deadwood and brush, let’s new things have space to bloom.”

“Uh-huh,” the hair said.

“I’ve been very disappointed with the terrorist left. We haven’t had a good fire since Wendy’s. I was hoping they at least had it in them to burn and loot until the 4th of July. Lazy fucks. I guess we know why they don’t have a job.”

“You want riots?” the hair asked.

“Did you sleep through that whole presentation?”

“What presentation?” the hair asked.

“You did, didn’t you?” the hat said angrily. “Fifty fucking slides. I slaved over that PowerPoint!”

Donald walked into the Oval Office with a hang-dog expression on his face. He drained the last of a can of Diet Coke and let the empty fall to the floor.

“Are there any primary results yet?” he asked desultorily.

“You won Kentucky,” the hair said.

“OK,” Donald said hollowly. He trudged over to the couch and sat on it heavily.

“Every burned down store, every toppled statue, every driver pulled out of their car is another hundred thousand votes for Donald,” the hat said. “Hunn’d, hunn’d, hunn’d,” he chanted.

“I’m started to remember this now,” the hair said. “I blocked it out, I think. Disgust amnesia.”

“I’d have choked that fucker to death myself if I knew it would have worked out this well,” the hat said, laughing.

The hair made a gagging sound.

“Oh, fuck off with your moral shit,” the hat said. “This is politics, red in tooth and claw. The rioting and the looting was the perfect antidote to the virus Hillary released to destroy Donald’s economy.”

“Hillary what?” the hair asked. “You believe that conspiracy shit?”

“She’s been in been with the ChiComs for decades,” the hat said. “They cooked up the virus, gave it to her and she was a superspreader. COVID Hilly, the plague twat of Harlem. Why do you think the epicenter was in New York City? That’s her place.”

“You’re nuts,” the hair said tiredly.

“I was hoping the riots would hit New York City harder,” the hat admitted. “Burn out a big chunk for some, you know, urban renewal, if you know what I mean. I was sure I could count on DiBlasio and the NYPD to make everything worse.”

“You’re a monster,” the hair said.

“No, I’m doing what it takes to make sure Donald gets re-elected!’ the hat yelled. “That should be your priority as well!”

The hair groaned.

“We just have to hope we can keep this going until October,” the hat said. “Maybe they will start tearing down statues of White Jesus like Hotep Twitter wants. Or we’ll get lucky and another trigger-happy redneck shoots another homeboy. I mean, it’s been twelve days since Brooks. Where my blue at?”

    Wow. Excellent. No favorite lines. Its just one great Hat line after another.

  8. Gadfly

    Brutal, but darkly hilarious.

    “The Hat and The Hair” is perhaps the best satire of these chaotic times. Unfortunately real events seem to be striving mightily to outmatch the satire.

    • Swiss Servator

      SugarFree has a Herculean Labor ahead of himself – but somehow he rises to the challenge.

    A good one to share with people who are convinced libertarians are all Republicans who don’t want to pay their taxes.

    • Swiss Servator

      I thought the Left said all Republicans don’t want to pay taxes….it was libertarians are Republicans that like drugs.

      • mexican sharpshooter

        No, libertarians are just democrats that like guns.

      • Not Adahn

        Anarchists who like Mexicans?

        Gun nut, weed, booze, butt stuff, and Bastiat? Y’all just basically described me in two posts.

      • EvilSheldon

        I can’t remember the source of the quote, but I always liked, “A libertarian is a democrat who understands economics, or a republican who just got his ass kicked by the cops.”

    “I’d have choked that fucker to death myself if I knew it would have worked out this well,” the hat said, laughing.

    I laughed.

    A lot.

    • Ownbestenemy

      Yeah that line is just like a cleanup batter, it is to ensure we are all on some list or another as we laugh.

    • DrOtto

      Two things in the last two days have made me do a double take, that line and the Babylon A D song The Kid Goes Wild they played unedited on over the air radio that has the Fuckenheimer yelled no fewer than 4 times.

      • pan fried wylie

        “‘Fuckenheimer’, totally different word, we have the official lyrics right here, see, One-two-three-four-fi…way more than four letters, now, Fuck Off, Slaver.”

  11. CPRM

    I’m CPRM, and I don’t approve this message. But I’m white, so I guess I implicitly endorse it…

    • leon

      “Where’s the police when you need them?”

      about 5 min away, grabbing the body bags. Why?

    • leon

      We continually hear we need to “defund the police” or “abolish the police,” yet no one thinks about the long-term implications of that.

      Just because progressives suck at thinking through their slogans doesn’t mean no one has thought about that.

      • CPRM

        It has been proven time and again you don’t need police, just ‘secret police’…oh you were talking about the anarcho-capitalist wetdream of a Pinkerton for every citizen, then you’re just racist.

    • CPRM

      Too bad her vote doesn’t count:

      (D-DC)

    • Dr. Fronkensteen

      I particularly like the fact she’s standing on the big yellow BLM sign painted on the street.

  12. Ownbestenemy

    “COVID Hilly, the plague twat of Harlem.”

    Heh. Too many good lines in this one

    • CPRM

      This is why I find it so hard to explain to normies how I came up with the cartoon. I mean it’s tamer than Hillary’s undulating boil-vaginas, but still.

      • Ownbestenemy

        Ever so often your cartoons show up on the TV under “Comedy”. I have to spend 3 hours explaining what they hell my 15 year olds are watching.

        Contrast that with them watching family guy or F is For Family and no one bats an eye.

      • CPRM

        Explaining to whom? The wife or a social worker?

      • Ownbestenemy

        I saw a porno like that once

      • CPRM

        Just once? Did you forget to bookmark it? Or did it suck?

      I haven’t used PP in many, many years. I don’t hate my audiences that much.

      • Ownbestenemy

        I despise them and when I have to do them, it is above. It is a visual tool to supplement what you are actually talking about. Too many people use it alone and I would be like the Hair, asleep.

    • CPRM

      My first animation was done in powerpoint, those hundred slides only lasted about 10 seconds.

    • Mojeaux

      I used PowerPoint for a workshop I gave. I got good ratings on the workshop.

    • mikey

      And 200 “backp” slides as a security blanket.

    • UnCivilServant

      To hell with that. If management wants me to do a presentation, then they can suffer from powerpoint poisoning.

    • pan fried wylie

      I mostly use powerpoint for flowcharts or other block-based diagrams. The shapes and connectors are handy.

    • Ted S.

      Oh god, I had to watch a training video today on returning to on-site work after the pandemic. It was a lecture (but our computers don’t have sound) over a bunch of Power Point slides. Thankfully you could move the slider to advance the video, since it was 48 minutes.

      Well, technically it was 48 minutes. In fact, about 10 minutes before the end, the screen went black with a caption saying “Please wait for the live feed to resume” — except that it never did resume.

      Fortunately, there was no test at the end, just feedback about what we got from the video.

  14. wdalasio

    It’s funnier because the Hat is mostly right. No sane person wants riots, destruction, and looting. But, who do you think it favors? The Democrats have put themselves in the position that no one in their leadership would dare say that they’re unreservedly opposed to those things. None of the Democratic leadership would dare say that anyone prior to the last ten minutes of history may have had some enduring moral worth. That won’t play out loudly as a problem in the popular culture. But, even Karen, who happily tells everyone how much she detests that racist, misogynistic, homophobic Donald Trump, may very well still pull that lever for him in the solitude of the voting booth. Because backing the leftist cause d’jour is all well and good when someone else has to pay the price. But, you can bet she has no appetite for it to come to her and her kids’ doorstep.

    • Drake

      This guy agrees. I’m not sure if it’s true or wishful thinking.

      Just got my cheat-by-mail application in the mail today. Tore it up and tossed it, but makes me wonder.

      • SUPREME OVERLORD trshmnstr

        Wishful thinking, IMO. This shit hasn’t really hit the suburbs yet. Most Karens are still simultaneously genuflecting to blacks and scolding everybody for not wearing hazmat suits in public.

      • wdalasio

        Possibly. But, the longer this goes on, the closer it looks. And I’ve never much heard of this sort of thing that looks particularly attractive when people have had time to think it over.

        My guess is that it would be any politician’s dream to paint their opponents as the party of looting, rioting and destruction. The Democrats have already pretty much done that for Trump. And if Biden tries to respond with any kind of law-and-order stance, his own side will shoot him in the back.

      • Hyperion

        In saner times, I would have said he was right.

        But now, the media, including social media is so locked down by the hard left, that most people are not even aware of what is going on. They’re going about their business and what little news they do here, presents an entirely different picture than the real one.

    • Hyperion

      “But, who do you think it favors?”

      According to the polls, it favors Biden, and people want more of it, not less. Just saying, not speculating.

      • wdalasio

        Honestly, at this point, I don’t trust an iota of the polling that comes out about race or Donald Trump, at this point. And no, I’m not going by some sort of conspiracy theory that the media is fudging the numbers. I don’t think people are willing to give them honest answers, at this point. People will parrot the popular pablum and hope they don’t get seen as a racist. Or people who don’t agree will simply refrain from being interviewed.

      • Hyperion

        The polls are definitely skewed, they were off my about 8pts in 2016. Now they have Biden up by 14. It’s really hard to believe that any of this shit has convinced any Trump voters to switch to Biden and even make any independents say ‘Oh, hell yes, more rioting and looting please?’.

        I don’t think it matters, mail in voting will lead to massive fraud and we all know who that benefits.

      • CPRM

      • Ted S.

        Yeah, the RCP average had Clinton up by 3, with the polls going from D+1 to D+7.

        The last time I pointed out Hyperion was way off on the polling, he ignored it.

        The Battle of Chickamauga is one I feel a bit attached to as two successor battalions of the US 19th Infantry are basic training battalions at Ft Benning. Until this recent wokeness, I thought it said volumes about the brother against brother nature of the Civil War, that the US Army itself was divided & traced its heritage to both sides, but that afterwards, once again there were only Americans.

    Andrew, you mendacious cunte.

    .@andrewcuomo blames the feds for his decision to send Covid patients into nursing homes: “The reason that happened was because we had the virus coming from Europe when the federal government told us the virus was coming from China.” …

    Cuomo on tearing down statues: “It’s a healthy expression of people saying let’s get some priorities here and let’s remember the sin and mistake that this nation made and let’s not celebrate it.”

    Did he get into Donald’s spray-tan stuff?

    • leon

      What do you want him to say? Admit that he consigned a bunch of old people to death, while ranting and railing about how his mom wasn’t expendable?

      • UnCivilServant

        I expect him to resign, and plead guilty to a few thousand counts of depraved indifference homicide.

      • Not Adahn

        …you don’t really expect that, do you?

      • leon

        Maybe the same way a Bond villain expects Bond to die.

      • UnCivilServant

        No one said my expectations have to be realistic. I expect the Courts to actually follow the constitution, and for public officials to obey the law.

    New FBI Notes Confirms Obama Directed Anti-Flynn Op

    Handwritten notes from fired former FBI agent Peter Strzok show that Obama himself directed key aspects of the campaign to target Flynn during a Jan. 5, 2017 meeting in the Oval Office.

    • Not Adahn

      Big if true.

      • Fatty Bolger

        Bigly ignored.

      • Homple

        Not surprising if true.

    • leon

      The handwritten notes from fired former FBI agent Peter Strzok appear to describe a Jan. 5, 2017, Oval Office meeting between Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Comey, Yates, and then-national security adviser Susan Rice.

      He seemed so earnest when he said he had no knowledge of what was going on.

      • Dr. Fronkensteen

        I can’t say I don’t believe him.

        That said even if true there is no way anyone is arresting America’s first black President.

    • leon

      To understand how much the GOP doesn’t care about this, realize that when Trump made a phone call to Ukraine and Schiff went Rambo on it, brought in all the people who had know knowledge of the details and had them grandstand, and then the House impeached Donald Trump (remember back when that was going to assure his victory?). This stuff has been out and where are the calls for bringing in Rice, Yates, etc to answer for this in the Senate?

    Reading through the Circuit Court Mandamus Opinion, and i didn’t realize that Sens McConell, Cotton, Cruz, Grassley and some more joined as Amici supporting the governments position.

  22. R C Dean

    The opinion ordering dismissal of charges against Flynn.

    They did not order reassignment of the case to another judge, as requested. Really not much reason to other than to kick Sullivan in the teeth. Of interest, the majority opinion addresses the dissent at length, which is very rare. I’m thinking the DC Circuit is in a state of non-collegial disarray.

    One question which I don’t think the opinion mentions, and I don’t recall, is whether the requested order of dismissal is with prejudice. I certainly hope so.

    • leon

      I just finished reading the opinion. Lots of laywery jargon, but they are not kind to Sullivan nor the dissent.

      As for the dissent, i read the first paragraph, and knew he was full of shit. He argues that it is wrong to issue mandamus, because they haven’t given the district court time to act. Because by not deciding on the motion to dismiss yet and appointing an amicus to argue against both government and the defendant, he hasn’t acted yet.

    • tarran

      The thing about the Flynn case is that so long as the controversy is in the courts, Flynn’s counsel has a right to exculpatory documents that she can than publish.

      I think this whole thing demonstrates the stupidity of Obama and his coterie. Had the Mueller team not tried to compel him to commit perjury, he would have pled guilty, paid a fine, and have been blackened forever.

      Once they got him to blink, they needed to close things out as quickly as possible since their hands were so unclean. Instead, despite the fact they had to know they were doomed should anyone dig into the charges, they tried to force him to commit an actual crime…

      It was a stupid, stupid move on their part.

      If you are corrupt, the last thing you want to do is to push an honest man too far. To survive and prosper as a corrupt man, you must very accurately gauge where the lines are for honest men, and not ever cross that line. These morons keep blundering across the line, and at this point have demonstrated such incompetence that people are increasingly contemptuous of them rather than scared of them.

      At this point, these guys really should cut their losses and stop going after Flynn.

      It’s as if the Japanese were to have reinforced the Aleutian Island invasion force rather thane evacuated it, even as Okinawa was invaded.

        What does this one mean, “if a horse has teeth, he’ll show you right off”?

      • Don Escaped MLB

        IANAV, but grazers and ungulates in particular chew by grinding with the molars. The older they get, the more worn their molars are.

        You buy a horse in no small part based on its remaining useful life. The last thing you want to do is buy a 12-year-old at 8-year-old prices. A younger horse has better teeth; a seller with a desirable horse will point that out if you don’t go right for a look without being told.

        A nag is sold like a blind date: on personality. Sure, I’d be easy-going (that is: worn-out) too if I had been a horse for the past two decades.

      I see some good stuff in this opinion:

      “A hearing may sometimes be appropriate before granting leave of court under Rule 48; however, a hearing cannot be used as an occasion to superintend the
      prosecution’s charging decisions, because “authority over criminal charging decisions resides fundamentally with the Executive, without the involvement of—and without oversight
      power in—the Judiciary.”

      “In this case, the district court’s actions will result in specific harms to the exercise of the Executive Branch’s exclusive prosecutorial power. The contemplated proceedings
      would likely require the Executive to reveal the internal deliberative process behind its exercise of prosecutorial discretion, interfering with the Article II charging authority.”

      “…each of our three coequal branches should be encouraged to self-correct when it errs. If evidence comes to light calling into question the integrity or purpose of an
      underlying criminal investigation, the Executive Branch must have the authority to decide that further prosecution is not in the interest of justice.”

      “The question before us, however, is not whether the Executive’s legal theory is ultimately correct, but whether the Executive has the constitutional discretion to end this prosecution—which for the reasons already discussed, it plainly does. In the initiation and cessation of a prosecution, it is the Executive’s view of the law that matters, not ours, because of its authority over criminal charging decisions.”

      And I think this captures it best:
      “In other words, the court has appointed one private citizen to argue that another citizen should be deprived of his liberty regardless of whether the Executive Branch is willing to pursue
      the charges.”

      One more
      Ultimately, the dissent fails to justify the district court’s unprecedented intrusions on individual liberty and the Executive’s charging authority. This is not a case about
      whether “a district judge may even hold a hearing on a Rule 48(a) motion…Rather, it is about whether, after the government has explained why a prosecution is no longer in the public interest, the district judge may prolong the prosecution by appointing an amicus, encouraging public participation, and probing the government’s motives. On that, both the Constitution and cases are clear: he may not”

    Do you know what we need right now? Moar needless interaction between police and non-police citizens.

    Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) warned Wednesday that some out-of-state travelers to New York might be pulled over by police if they have license plates from states with high levels of the coronavirus.

    Cuomo said that in addition to law enforcement, he would expect individuals such as hotel clerks and businesses in New York to question travelers from select states.

    “You’re stopped by a police officer who says, ‘You’re driving a car from Florida. Weren’t you supposed to be on quarantine for 14 days?’” he said, citing an example. …

    “You violate the quarantine, you will then have to do mandatory quarantine and you will be fined,” he said.

    Cuomo warned New York residents that even if they traveled to vacation in a state with high infection rates, they would be required to quarantine.

    “You can break the law, and if you don’t get caught you’re fine, but that’s a big if, right?” Cuomo said, warning that violators of the quarantine would face thousands of dollars in fines.

    COVID-1984.

    • RAHeinlein

      Think of the backlash if a Southern Republican Governor said “You’re driving a car from New York – could be one of them Yankee drug dealers so we police should pull them over.”

      Love those fines – lucky Soros has deep pockets for the protesters he is sending.

      • Suthenboy

        The police’s job is to protect the state. Individuals are dispensable in their eyes.

      • grrizzly

        They probably mean the infection rate calculated for the last few days/weeks.

      • Not Adahn

        I can’t believe Cuomo is endangering the lives of New Yorkers by permitting travel from places with a 9% infection rate! Why doesn’t he just inject covid directly into everyone’s veins ??!?

        I wonder if he means to quarantine New Yorkers who visited those states on their return? I can’t imagine a logically consistent reason not to.

      Lets go along with this. Lets say you just moved to NY (don’t know why, you just did). You are getting “essential” items, but the police are still going to fine you? How do they know how long you have been in the state? DMVs are practically useless right now, so you can’t get a new licence or plates….

      What a fucking asshole.

        When I am pulled over by police, you get a rational me, unless you ask me where I am going to or where did I come from. Not your fucking business. If I violated some rule, ticket me and be on your way. Also, stop asking me if I knew what I did wrong…nice try asshole, I am not confessing.

      • Fatty Bolger

        “Do you know why I pulled you over?”

      It sounds like Cuomo is one step away from building a big wall around the perimeter of NY to prevent people from entering illegally.

      • Ted S.

        And preventing people from leaving, too.

    • Rhywun

      Other states were quarantining New Yorkers, weren’t they?

      • R C Dean

        For Medicare fraud, you have to go through a specific process (“qui tam”): basically put together a case and see if the DOJ picks it up. Its a little more involved than calling in a hot tip, so I doubt it.
