Capital Times publisher won’t date Trump voters

Can’t accept defeat of ‘woman of color’!

The publisher of The Capital Times admits that he spent the run-up to Election Day 2024 with his nose buried in Rachel Maddow’s heaving bosom.

That’s the problem, Paul Fanlund! Get out of Madison WI! Borrow Blaska’s Ford Ranger pick up truck and head out to Muscoda or Montfort and put your elbows on the bar for a shot and a beer. Put a fiver down on the meat raffle. Chew on a venison stick. You might learn something about Wisconsin. Instead, this hermetic news man declares:

triggered
Paul Fanlund

I am simply done with acquaintances who voted for Trump. 

Of whom, the Werkes guesses, there are few to none. The progressive publisher — MadTown’s Lysistrata — actually advises young women to “apply a litmus test when considering romantic relationships with Trump-voting men.” (But they’re so cute!) All because Paul’s Woke dreams of electing “the first woman president of color in my lifetime” were dashed by America’s growing revulsion to his identity politics!

 The party of stupid

Pissed-off Paul represents that cohort of Democrats who blame the voters for their misogynistic racism. That’s like K-Mart blaming shoppers for switching to WalMart — which, btw, is the latest consumer sector business to dump DEI. 

A few introspective, left-leaning party advocates — Paul Fanlund just isn’t one of them — are emerging, blinking, from the bunkers. They’re inquiring how the first female, mostly black, Woke progressive could have lost ground on almost every demographic to a twice-impeached, p-grabbing insurrectionist. All those mandatory school and workplace sensitivity training sessions — for naught! All those high-salaried DEI commissars, money down the drain! 

CNN’s Erin Burnett, conducting post mortems this week, force fed a video clip of Bill Maher to a candidate to be the next Democratic National Committee chairman — a job akin to watering the petunia beds in Gaza.

The retrograde Maher, who says he voted for the woman of (mostly) color anyway, posted photographs of, among other things, a young grievance studies major wearing a Queers for Palestine tee shirt, unaware that his kind get thrown off tall buildings in that campus-favored backwater. Democrats, Maher concluded, are “the party of stupid.”

“Rough stuff,” Martin O’Malley, the former governor of Maryland, sputtered. Like Michael Corleone to wife Kay in the hotel after the Senate hearings, he vowed Democrats would change. How, Mr. O’Malley could not specify. But he promised to remain “true to our values.” Just like Kamala!

Blaska’s Bottom Line: goes to Bill Maher, who reminds Democrats: “You’ve just lost a crazy contest to an actual crazy person.”

In his own way, isn’t Paul Fanlund an election denier?

    The dangerous, yet voluntary, immersion into a catatonic, apoplectic, pillow-biting, pants $#!tting, bed wetting, wind-sucking, chest palpitating, vital sign ramping, mouth-breathing, fist-pounding, foot stomping, safe-space seeking, triggering, weenie-whiny, simpering-whimpering, complete metaphysical, emotional, existential, psychological, philosophical, full-throated, freaking out, melting down, spittle-flecked, furiously-frothing, totally collapsing free-fall by laughably inept Lefties commences.

    The highfreakin’larious C.J. Hopkins sequel to The Year Of The HEADLESS LIBERAL CHICKEN will write itself, with forward/blurbs unintentionally (heh!) written by ‘nadless, incel, spongy Beta Male endomorphs like Paulie.

    It’s almost too much to take…..almost.

      Mental health therapists in Madison are loving Trump II.

      The Deep State generally, and the soon to be unemployed members of the State Department, not so much; to wit:

      State Department FUNDED CRY SESSIONS After Trump Election Victory Get Congressional Scrutiny

      MONEY QUOTE/Darrell Issa: “It is disturbing that ostensibly NONPARTISAN GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS WOULD SUFFER A PERSONAL MELTDOWN over the RESULTS OF A FREE AND FAIR ELECTION, something the United States champions around the world. It is unacceptable that the Department ACCOMODATES THIS BEHAVIOR AND SUBSIDIZES IT WITH TAXPAYER DOLLARS. (bolds/caps/italics mine)

      Going forward, the only worthwhile counseling these worthless PsOS will require is for employment .

    Yeah, I read Fanlund’s column and did a face-palm. After his nasty screed, trashing people and just being mean, he ended it with this bromide (apparently he didn’t see the hypocrisy) “My sixth takeaway is to remind you that we still live in a compassionate community bound together by many things, including our mutual suffering about the nation’s direction. There is altruism and energy in Madison that regularly shows itself, including in the wonderful causes supported by the Evjue Foundation, the charitable arm of The Capital Times.”

    Relax gutch; the rump chaos hasn’t really started yet. I can’t wait for it to begin. Once the court cases are dismissed and the pardons issued it will be golf everyday while all the ultra-rich, inexperienced fools screw the rest of us. Even the maga types like healthcare, clean water, functioning schools and decent roads. Talk s#$t now, a year from now the headlines here will be a lot different. Once that South-African-Canadian transplant Musk transforms the U> S> into the imagine and likeness of himself you can sit back and enjoy. GO PHINS!!!!!!!

      The follically-challenged Fannie need not shave his head. Celibacy? Surely you jest; no opportunity whatsoever coupled with him swingin’ nothing more than a threadbare string confirm it’s a lifestyle…not a choice…

      As long as they’re warmongers it’s all good – Nikki Haley and Dick Cheney are both welcome in Paul’s bed.

    Good points, Squire.

    I recommend ex-mayor BikeShorts latest blog column titled Thankful For Individualism. It is a reasoned take on why lefties lost the ’24 Presidential. Read his unique analysis of Guilty White Liberal Syndrome. He says libs used identity politics to assuage their guilt feelings for being affluent and privileged. (No kidding.)

    Ex-mayor Dave is an adult. Contrast his approach to the issue with Mr. Fanlund’s, who got his feewings hurt and appears to have crawled into a corner nursing a severe case of spite. Poor dear.

      got his feewings hurt

      On that subject, pals from the State Journal/Capital Times sports department shared that once during a Capital Newspapers pickup bb game, pu$$ie paulie got fouled hard, descended into a tearful snit, then took his widdle ball and cried his way home.

      Good thing he never played with The Gotch and the Big Boys @The Red Gym, the old Nat, or outdoors @The Wall on Dayton Street (current home of the Kohl Center); he’d be missing teeth, cross-eyed, and hobbling with a noticeable limp.

      I think it’s crazy that Dave C. still votes Democrat.

      Reading his columns you would think he’s a hardcore conservative. Jordan Peterson has been making the case for individualism for years and yet I’d bet DC considers him a fascist.

      Elon Musk rescued free speech and DC hates him.

      At what point will he finally escape the brainwashing?

    Borrow Blaska’s Ford Ranger pick up truck and head out to Muscoda or Montfort and put your elbows on the bar for a shot and a beer.

    Heck Blaska, them there are too close to the 77 Square Miles Surrounded By A Sea Of Reality, for Paulie’s resolute Blue Zip Code affinity, leastways.

    He ought visit ONEida, Two Rivers, Three Lakes, Four Corners, or Five Points to discover what WESconsin’s all about.

    Not enough? Then Klondike, Balsam Lake, Saxon, Aurora, Gratiot, Newton, Hofa Park, Shantytown, Draper, Mount Sterling, Stockholm, Independence, Hammond, Solon Springs, Matoon, Comstock, Beetown, Drummond, Humbird, Willard, Oxbo, Embarrass, Mount Ida, and Jump River.

    If he gets to Jump River, he best stop by Rosie’s…and if it’s Saxon…Harbor Lights

    Chrome Dome Paulie regularly writes pompous, hateful, condescending screeds about those that don’t share his beliefs. Then he whines when a few opponents gloat after his candidate loses. That’s like the class bully crying to the principal when one of his targets punches back. Priceless. Calling him a news man is an insult to news and men.

    Telling women not to date Trump supporters is a new low for him though. And he calls conservatives facists?

    If conservatives ever needed to build a case about how much progressives hate them, this piece would be Exhibit A.

      “That’s like the class bully crying to the principal when one of his targets punches back.” Yes, the moniker is “crybully”.

      I imagine Fanlund churned out the column in a foul mood, kinda like the guy in the commercial whose pudding got stolen at the office. Difference is that guy had AI software and with 1 click he turned his screed into something “friendly”.

      Cap times needs that software. Hint to Paul: after composing your column, click on “Not Psychotic”.
