Insane in the lib brain

Super Bowl insanity. Democrat reveals disturbing fetish. Famed masturbator handed job at New York Times.

It's Friday, Feb. 14, 2025.

Happy Valentine's Day to all the lovers out there, and to the haters and losers as well. May you all, if you haven't already, find that special someone who looks at you the way Melania looks at Donald Trump—a loving (and stunningly attractive) spouse who always has your back no matter what.

Whether you've just been elected president of the United States and are celebrating by showing off your iconic dance move...

Or you're accepting your party's nomination after surviving an assassination attempt...

True love will find you in the end, wearing a ball gown on the night of your inauguration.

Insane in the lib brain: The journalist Mark Halperin predicted Trump's victory would incite "the greatest mental health crisis in the history of our country." In other words, the worst mental health crisis since the Great Derangement of 2016-2021. It's too early to say whether #Resistance libs will reach a higher level of lunacy (if that's even possible) in Trump's second term, but you can't fault them for lack of effort. The following Super Bowl reactions, for example, suggest the hyper-politicized insanity has picked up right where it left off.

Many Americans enjoyed watching the Kansas City Chiefs lose badly on Sunday. They're an annoying team that always wins and gets every call and Taylor Swift is always lurking. Wajahat Ali, a former guest columnist for the New York Times, found a different reason to celebrate: Racial retribution.

Trump made history as the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl. He was warmly received by the crowd in New Orleans, unlike Taylor Swift, who got booed by Eagles fans (who are also annoying) when her image appeared on the jumbotron. This was tantamount to physical violence, according to Stephanie McNeal of Glamour magazine, who "specializes in in-depth analysis and reporting on the cultural zeitgeist."

McNeal, who attended the Super Bowl to cover "game-day fashion," assessed that the "disparate reactions to Swift and Trump felt like a chilling microcosm of our culture." According to her in-depth analysis, it was "important to place these two moments in the context in which they exist." (Fact check: It was not.) "As they jeered and booed, I could hear the undercurrent of hatred and felt the real-life manifestation of the trolling I had previously only seen virtually," McNeal wrote. The Super Bowl, of all things, was at risk of being "reclaimed by ... toxic masculinity."

The ladies of the View were even more aggrieved after the big game. Ana Navarro argued Trump was preparing to sign an executive order "banning black people" from the Super Bowl halftime show, performed this year by the semi-renowned rapper Kendrick Lamar, best known for writing a "diss track" accusing Drake, a prominent Canadian, of being a pedophile. Sunny Hostin raved about how nice it was to see "black excellence and joy" on the field amid "all these attacks on African Americans" from the sitting president. "It was a many-layered performance," she said of the halftime show. "You've got Serena Williams crip walking." Whoopi Goldberg reasoned (so to speak) that watching black people play in the Super Bowl would convince Americans to oppose Trump's sinister plot to resegregate sports, which doesn't exist.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Democrats:

(NSFW) Chuck Schumer wasn't kidding when he said Democrats were more "aroused" than they've been in a very long time. "I don't swear in public very well," Rep. Maxine Dexter (D., Ore.) said this week at yet another "Save Our Bureaucrats" rally on Capitol Hill. She wasn't kidding, because the next words out of her mouth were, "But we have to fuck Trump!" The crowd erupted in applause, which may or may not indicate that Democrats have themselves contracted a violent case of toxic masculinity. Dexter, who looks exactly like the sort of person who would get elected to represent Portland, shrieked with delight. "Please don't tell my children that I just did that," she added.

Song of the week: Whatever this is, from the same rally where the honorable congresswoman revealed her sexual fantasy. The #Resistance is so back. Trump is doomed.

Meanwhile:

Poll of the week: Joe Biden is the worst living president, according to a recent Gallup survey. That could change fairly soon, given his condition (old and dying). Barack Obama is the most popular president, likely due to his efforts to help Trump win reelection by accusing black men of misogyny.

Comeback of the week: Jeffrey Toobin, the famed masturbator, has a new beat after being handed a job as a contributing writer for the New York Times. It's been a hard and slightly curved road to redemption for Toobin, who was fired from the New Yorker in 2020 for "adjusting his mic" during a Zoom call with colleagues. Before the incident, Toobin was best known for having an extramarital affair with a coworker's daughter and trying to bribe her to get an abortion. He continues to appear on CNN despite "quitting" his job as a senior legal analyst in 2022.

Sentence of the week: "Take a deep breath for just a moment and ponder: Big Balls." That one comes courtesy of MSNBC's Joy Reid. The New York Times was a close second thanks to the absurd headline: "In Oval Office, Musk Claims Without Proof That Bureaucracy Is Rife With Fraud." Mainstream journalists and other liberals are predictably horrified by Elon Musk's efforts to rein in federal spending, which is not a separate branch of government, as the ACLU seemed to imply this week. Some have become almost frighteningly obsessed with "Big Balls," the nom de guerre of a 19-year-old nerd who is reportedly working for Musk at the Department of Government Efficiency.
