I’m surprised Nosferatu didn’t “de-woke” the tRump Bible, and modify Matthew 5:9 to read
“Blessed be the Rich Piece of Shit who was dishonest about being a peacemaker along with every other aspect of his destructive life, for he shall successfully lie and cheat his way into Heaven.”
In 1975 I spent several months hiking and hitchhiking around Britain and Ireland, staying mostly in youth hostels. I ran into several Americans who had Canadian flags on their backpacks. I didn't go that far, but I was pleased every time another traveler or a hostel warden said "You don't *act* like an American."
That made up for the two young women from Arizona I met who didn't realize that Northern Ireland wasn't connected to the British mainland, i.e., you had to take a ferry to get there.
Ha! I get it I was in Paris when Blow Job Gate hit! Trying explaining that one to the French.
French: what is wrong with the Americans? Mitterand had his love children, and we loved it.
Me: I don't care what he does to relax, I want the man that has a nuclear button to be very relaxed, the last thing I want is for him to be frustrated, and decide to blow up the world.
We also did a trip to Europe when GWB was president, but fortunately we met a lovely Canadian couple at Logan airport, & believe it or not, the wife had a packet of maple leaf lapel pins in her carryon bag, & she gave me one. I wore it the whole trip, & we just told people we were from Canada! We live in Downeast Maine, so it was only stretching the truth a little, wasn't it? 🤪
If you're coming to BC, you'll need to get BC Lions or Canucks gear. Toronto stuff will get you scowled at. Yeah, we're polite ... but not THAT polite. LOL (JK, enjoy your trip).
On a trip to our small town--red, of course--in the also red western rural part of the state, we came up behind a local car that had a bumper sticker that read: "Is he dead yet?". When you read that and you know without question to whom it refers...my spouse and I both had a good laugh.
Guess who will NOT get past the Pearly Gates! St. Peter probably has a lever next to his lectern to a trap door that goes to a well polished chute direct to Lucifer's favorite Lake.
I love it! I'm in Indiana, and I was delighted to see a Tesla with a sticker that said, "I bought this before the plot twist." It's great to find a kindred spirit in MAGAland.
I was in Vancouver recently and told everyone that we hated Trump. I noticed that there were a lot of Canadian flags hanging from condominium balconies. National pride up there.
Yeah, it never used to be that way. The only time it was that obvious was Canada Day. Still, they are a wonderful place, of "Peace and Good Government". I miss the sanity there, but not the long grey winters.
We live in Palm Springs in the winter and 80% of our condo complex is Canadian. I know a lot of them are selling and/or not coming back because of T💩p. ETTD.
We were in Germany last month: as we were wondering around in Brandenburg, a German lady was walking towards us; evidently, we looked like American tourists.... Anyway, she came up to us, put her thumbs down and said "No to tRump!" We heartily agreed!
So true-and actually part of the problem. If you never leave the country you’re extremely susceptible to that propaganda claiming america is the “best country there is”…
I wanted to believe that today, but then the USCIS thing happened. more project 2025 shit going down. Just because its not front page doesnt mean that its not still happening.
I think thats one of the reasons why I get more focused on my queer bar stories at the end of the day , those I enjoy actually writing.
Aren't there some Evangelicals of the group who are willing to lay their hands on Trump who believe it doesn't matter how loathsome you are, and how many kids you've molested in your lifetime, so long as you say the right words about Jesus before you die, you go to heaven? Trump likes that idea, although I think even the Evangelicals believe you can't lie when you say the magic words.
According to the particular evangelicals I was brought up with, it would only work if he truly repented of his sins and accepted that Jesus was the son of God.
I really tried to to work through the USCIS bullshit. You know this whole "if you are an immigrant to the US and you hate the US , then you cant come to the US" bullshit.
The policy reads like a fuck you to free speech. Honestly.
Well, there was that business about the Texas Fascist party holding Democratic representative Nicole Collier SAY HER NAME hostage in her own office. And how the Fascists subsequently locked up four other women in jail for coming to her defense. For example.
It should not be "slow news" when these shitstains try to erase history. I recall a time when a free press would have been all over this nazi bullshit.
That would be because Trump was soooo busy yesterday. He called into Fox in the morning and signed 1 bill into law late afternoon. (The law actually might be OK)
Not as slow of a news day as you might think… Rep. in TX still held against her will. DoD begging employees to abandon their jobs to work the border. DC gun laws no longer being enforced. I could go on.
Yeah, Mapquest’s socials deserve this praise. They’ve been great. Helps remind me there’s more of us—many more—than there ever will of them. And I’m not planning to surrender. Ever.
Isn't that a weird thing to focus on? I suppose they will just grab anything to complain about. Roundabouts are efficient, if you know how to use them.
💯Although I have to say, where my Mother’s house is in Scotland, there is a HUGE roundabout; the most challenging part is to be sure you are in the correct lane. Of course you say, but in this case, the roundabout traffic is controlled by six sets of traffic lights 🤦♀️‼️I kid you not. To add to the “excitement”, there is a fire station just as you approach the roundabout where there are traffic lights. The amazing thing is it operates like a well oiled machine with no accidents 🤗 Trust me, seeing is believing.
Because people are used to following laws. Whenever I get back from driving in Europe, I can immediately sense my stress level going up with driving here.
My development has a roundabout and I love it until someone doesn't understand right of way and barges right through which makes it somewhat dangerous.
It's hilarious, and every single social media post that does the same is also going to be hilarious. If only social media were flooded with more 'copycats' who were equally brutal in imitating Donnie Demento's lunatic screeds........The more the merrier, and the more ludicrous the better.
Totally agree! Mock the 💩 out of tRumPutin! It's the thing that makes him most upset. I also hope this trend continues to spread 🙏. I'd love to see a list of all the things that would keep Tapioca-brain out of Heaven, next to the list of his 'Saintly Acts' - which would be very short indeed! I can't imagine even one thing. I can too easily imagine him getting to Heaven and demanding that he will be God from now on! Telling God: You're Fired!
Every time Trump talks about his mortality - this isn’t the 1st time this year - I always believe that he’s been told his time left is limited. Congestive heart failure? Cancer?
Agreed. People who haven’t been religious/spiritual in their lives often focus on what’s next at the end. And while I think Just Dance is more dangerous because more controlled, the personality of a broken door knob isn’t going to hold the cult together.
That's what I think too, every single time it comes up, and that he knows it. Especially since that might be the most self-aware thing he's said in years, maybe ever? He very much is not doing well in the get-into-heaven race.
This is very important to the foundational principles of MAGA...that is one of the periods of time where America was "great," when Black people were enslaved and certain ethnic groups could get the chop without any accountability. Lynching was a fun family activity. But of course, being called out on the inbuilt advantages that came from having such a brutal system will make people feel...insulted. They believed they have their position in life because they work hard. Learning that a bunch of things you have in your life are because a number of people are systematically disenfranchised (not by you personally and that's a critical thing people deliberately miss to get offended by it)...well that's a shock to the system.
Just as a note for such people. It's not to blame YOU for this. It's to enlist your help to break the system that runs on that and make that system more equitable. That's all that's asked.
It's important for this death cult to make institutions like the Smithsonian knuckle under and remove the contributions of minorities...and anything that centers them. Because if one were to listen to their accounts they would find that the dirty little secret animating America is bigotry. Remember, not all of us had our rights from the launch date. We weren't part of the base package. For example my own rights came as DLC.
During slavery times, most white people did not own slaves, and they were kept in line by the plantation oligarchy with the message that no matter how poor they were, there was one group of people they could consider themselves superior to. So of course, the Southern oligarchs did nothing material for poor whites. Trump subscribes to LBJ's comment that you can keep poor whites poor by telling them they're superior to Black (or Latino) people, and take their wallets while convincing them of that.
I can't resist: Slavery still exists, BIG TIME. We currently count approximately 52,000,000 slaves in this world 2024. In our America there are 1,200,000 modern day slaves, still. Women and children in forced commercial sexual exploitation constitute 78% of victims. Yep, slavery has grown from an estimate of 32,000,000 globally in 2010 to the current number.
Jeff, your newsletters give me hope when I’m feeling overwhelmed, depressed, curled up on the couch eating too much cheap chocolate, and in need of a smile.
I've given up wine and cut back on cannabis, so my salvation has come down to eating fistfuls of chocolate chips right out of the package. Forget all the other ingredients.
When my son was a little kid, we used to buy a roll of chocolate-chip cookie dough at the store, then take it home and eat it raw. Was I always a perfect mom? Why no, I was not, but then again, we never got botulism or whatever and die from doing so.
Hershey's Milk chocolate bars (usually the king block size), but they put so much parafin into those things its more waxy than chocolate....but I love em.
I had to give up fistfuls of anything chocolate, due to diabetes, so cannabis it is! CBD gummies keep my head from exploding, though I take them primarily for pain reduction and help with sleeping.
Wendy et al, support the workers who grow cacao. Buy Equal Exchange or Alter Eco. I buy EE tiny candy bars or AE chocolate truffles, usually at Halloween when they go on sale. Those truffles are really incredible and I still have a few left from last Halloween. Unfortunately the candy bars are gone... We drink EE coffee and tea too. The Revolution is here, if you want it.
Well, as the boys from Traffic sang, heaven is in your mind. As a former Renaissance scholar I can assure you that when Donny finally shuffles-off this mortal coil he'll be taking the express elevator directly to the seventh or eighth circle of the Inferno (no one is allowed to say "Hell" down below). Figure he has a choice locale in boiling pitch (from all those contractors he stiffed) somewhere Roy Cohn or Rush Limbaugh-adjacent. "Hey, I can see Adolf and Pol Pot from here!" John Prine wrote that your flag decal won't get you into Heaven anymore. Neither will your bogus Nobel, fatso. This is what happens when your thoughtless executive orders condemn, literally, millions to death by starvation and disease. Bon voyage!
In Dante’s “Divine Comedy,” the deepest pit of hell is frozen over, with Lucifer His Own Self trapped in the ice. I still remember this from my English-major undergrad days, because I fucking hate ice and snow. Anyway, this is where Donny is headed.
The expression on her face was priceless--she rather resembled her hero when he realized he was being booed at that baseball game....Stepfordanik got quite the ego blow when she stepped out of her sheltered bubble and found out what her constituents think of her.
All this "getting into Heaven" horseshit: I'll repeat myself. He knows he's racing the clock, either in longevity or before his brain is fully tapioca. He wants the Nobel while he can still gloat. Obama got a Grammy, too. Has he been whining about that recording he made with the J6 jailbirds? He knows time is running out.
Plus he wants to look as if he knows what's up. So he grasps at any Pseudo factlets he can spout from um memory. I'm guessing just like he’s always done.
I had to drive through damn roundabouts in Louisiana this morning. They are not a threat like the Criminal Republican Party is. I refuse to let some dipshit ram WRONG down my throat, and that is what the Criminals in Texas are doing to the Democrats there.
In my nearly 74 years, the American people have always suffered when a Republican was in the White House. We thought Nixon would be as bad as it could get.
Someday those people who call themselves MAGA and are not mental defectives will realize that they are like the followers of Jim Jones and others. Following Trump is a dead end. I don't see any grace or mercy in their future.
Yeah, Mapquest’s socials deserve this praise. They’ve been great. Helps remind me there’s more of us—many more—than there ever will of them. And I’m not planning to surrender. Ever.
To Meryl Selig: What on earth is wrong with you? Sure, MapQuest is following Newsom’s lead--as should we all. The more sarcasm and ridicule heaped on Trump the better. We all know Trump has no sense of humor and can’t stand being laughed at. This clever parody of “Trump Talk” should be imitated far and wide.
Mocking Trump's schtick could be one of the best ways to get him to STFU. Maybe he'll eventually implode like a blocked bowel without his cute outlets.
Gotta disagree on this one. I'd love to see that insane all caps, ranting, rambling, self glorifying bullshit style copied by hundreds of accounts, celebrities, politicians, companies .... Flood the internet. Trump will go insane and so will the cult. Fox news will have a stroke. (if we're lucky so will someone else, and he'll find out heaven is a lot hotter than he thought)
Most people don't mind being woke vs white christian supremacist. If this president thinks he's going down in history as good, I'm sure he'll end up being the worst president in the history of America. He's pretty much there now.
In the breach of Donald’s ranting about slavery and how possibly it wasn’t as terrible as most folks think..well…I will wait for his mouth farts concerning the Holocaust and how it really wasn’t that terrible… it’s only a matter of time folks.
Hi Doc… I doubt the guy even attended courses based on the facts that he paid folks to take tests for him.. he’s a f*****g joke of a human and prez. I’m very worried that we will not have elections considering he said “vote for me this time and you won’t need to vote in the future”. OY🤡
Rewriting history ... high on the totalitarian list. Don't worry about the "coming" Consitutional Crisis, cause it's already past ... worry about the coming Show Trial Crisis.
why yes, it was kind of a slow news day. why do you ask?
remember when the last two or three weeks before Congress came back to work was called 'the silly season'?
now it's rare when the firehose of batshit relents for a whole 24 hours.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/silly%20season
Your post today was super-fun though. If this is the Tiedrich version of a summer vacation, I'm down for it.
Shit always happens when "The Daily Show," or more specifically Jon Stewart, is on break.
Colbert is off too. All of New York TV is on vacation in August.
Has been the best time to visit Manhattan, if one can stand the heat.
Less crowded, I’d bet.
Speaking of Jon Stewart: https://www.americasundoing.com/p/part-3-madison-square-garden-the-e14
I’m surprised Nosferatu didn’t “de-woke” the tRump Bible, and modify Matthew 5:9 to read
“Blessed be the Rich Piece of Shit who was dishonest about being a peacemaker along with every other aspect of his destructive life, for he shall successfully lie and cheat his way into Heaven.”
Yeah, I don't think Nosferatu can actually touch a Bible without getting his hands burned...
That's why it's pointless to tell him to look in the mirror.
Every slow news day is a reprieve in this shithole country.
Word. I'm going to Canada next week to bask in sanity and politeness for a little while. 🍁
You should wear a "I DIDN'T VOTE FOR THAT ASSHOLE," T-shirt or button. Everyone will know what you mean.
reminds me of a trip I made to Europe back in GWB was president. I felt like I had to apologize to everyone I met
How fked-up is it that war criminal and economy destroyer GWB now seems like a respected elder statesman compared to T💩p? Very.
Sad commentary, isn't it?
Right? He was a disastrous dipshit, but at least he meant well.
In 1975 I spent several months hiking and hitchhiking around Britain and Ireland, staying mostly in youth hostels. I ran into several Americans who had Canadian flags on their backpacks. I didn't go that far, but I was pleased every time another traveler or a hostel warden said "You don't *act* like an American."
That made up for the two young women from Arizona I met who didn't realize that Northern Ireland wasn't connected to the British mainland, i.e., you had to take a ferry to get there.
Those were good times.
I was in England about that time too. A woman overheard my accent and approached me to apologize for having once stayed in a Trump property.
Ha! I get it I was in Paris when Blow Job Gate hit! Trying explaining that one to the French.
French: what is wrong with the Americans? Mitterand had his love children, and we loved it.
Me: I don't care what he does to relax, I want the man that has a nuclear button to be very relaxed, the last thing I want is for him to be frustrated, and decide to blow up the world.
Can you believe the Republicans were shocked!
Now apparently cheating, raping teenage girls, and felony convictions are just fine with the moral majority Republicans. Who knew.
Here in California, when asked 'where are you originally from', I always say, unfortunately, Texas.
also, " I was born and raised in Texas, but I got out as fast as I could". needs to be on a T-shirt
I was born in Kentucky, but I escaped.
When we're overseas and people ask us where we're from, we say California. We always get a happy response.
I felt the same last May when I went to Japan.
We also did a trip to Europe when GWB was president, but fortunately we met a lovely Canadian couple at Logan airport, & believe it or not, the wife had a packet of maple leaf lapel pins in her carryon bag, & she gave me one. I wore it the whole trip, & we just told people we were from Canada! We live in Downeast Maine, so it was only stretching the truth a little, wasn't it? 🤪
I have a 5X7' Canadian flag inside my apartment. I don't, know it calms me down when I look at it.
I apologized all through Canada in 2016.
We're going to try and blend in with the good people of Canada. I got my husband a Toronto Blue Jays' baseball cap and t-shirt to wear on our trip.
Smart. I'm going to British Columbia in a few weeks. I'll get one of those.
If you're coming to BC, you'll need to get BC Lions or Canucks gear. Toronto stuff will get you scowled at. Yeah, we're polite ... but not THAT polite. LOL (JK, enjoy your trip).
Are you going to Vancouver Island? I have several places to recommend if you do, I lived there for years.
You have room in your suitcase for me?
Sorry hon, I’m just doing carry on.
On a trip to our small town--red, of course--in the also red western rural part of the state, we came up behind a local car that had a bumper sticker that read: "Is he dead yet?". When you read that and you know without question to whom it refers...my spouse and I both had a good laugh.
Guess who will NOT get past the Pearly Gates! St. Peter probably has a lever next to his lectern to a trap door that goes to a well polished chute direct to Lucifer's favorite Lake.
HA!! Great visual!👏🏼👏🏼
I love it! I'm in Indiana, and I was delighted to see a Tesla with a sticker that said, "I bought this before the plot twist." It's great to find a kindred spirit in MAGAland.
I was in Vancouver recently and told everyone that we hated Trump. I noticed that there were a lot of Canadian flags hanging from condominium balconies. National pride up there.
Yeah, it never used to be that way. The only time it was that obvious was Canada Day. Still, they are a wonderful place, of "Peace and Good Government". I miss the sanity there, but not the long grey winters.

It's okay. We know. The ones who voted for him typically don't have passports.
So true-and actually part of the problem. If you never leave the country you’re extremely susceptible to that propaganda claiming america is the “best country there is”…
I went to Montreal in June: I wore “I didn’t vote for him” pins in English and French…everyone was very kind…
When I was in Mexico last April, I made sure to emphasize how beautiful the Gulf of MEXICO was.
Lucky you! I wish most of us could escape this daily misery for at least the next 3+ years.
I wanted to believe that today, but then the USCIS thing happened. more project 2025 shit going down. Just because its not front page doesnt mean that its not still happening.
I think thats one of the reasons why I get more focused on my queer bar stories at the end of the day , those I enjoy actually writing.
Brother, you said a mouthful.
Trump honestly thinks you get into heaven if you bring God a big enough scalp, like a Nobel prize or something. The worst theology EVER!
Remember, on the Nobel Prize form there is a question (which when answered in the positive will disqualify you), stating
"Have you ever used the military of your country on your own people?"
Yes, He has.
He'll lie. He thinks the entire world is as stupid as his base.
Uh oh!
Exactly. Trump is fucked on the Nobel no matter what.
of course hes gonna lie on the application though, and we all know it.
I tend to agree. Still, they gave one to fat Henry......
He must have blackmailed the committee or something what an abomination.
Thank goodness the board on the Nobel are much brighter and smarter than Donny Convict.
Perhaps we should tell him that, so he never does it again? He'd think he gets a pass, for not knowing that.
Aren't there some Evangelicals of the group who are willing to lay their hands on Trump who believe it doesn't matter how loathsome you are, and how many kids you've molested in your lifetime, so long as you say the right words about Jesus before you die, you go to heaven? Trump likes that idea, although I think even the Evangelicals believe you can't lie when you say the magic words.
Let's not even go into the delusional and dishonest cult of the MAGA evangelicals
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNYtcGwv9h2/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MXdyYml5bmVmYTRyYQ==
This pretty much captures his worshippers.
🤣🤣
That groping thing they do is creepy, I wouldn't want them to touch me.
According to the particular evangelicals I was brought up with, it would only work if he truly repented of his sins and accepted that Jesus was the son of God.
Well, since Trump previously said that there was nothing he needed to be forgiven for, that option may be closed to him.
He’s counting on a divine dispensation from the Pope if he sells enough Bibles.
Not this Pope
I really tried to to work through the USCIS bullshit. You know this whole "if you are an immigrant to the US and you hate the US , then you cant come to the US" bullshit.
The policy reads like a fuck you to free speech. Honestly.
https://thistleandmoss.com/p/the-constitution-shredding-clusterfuck
Thank you for this, my spouse is a green card holder (it is actually yellow these days, but you know what I mean.)
Well, there was that business about the Texas Fascist party holding Democratic representative Nicole Collier SAY HER NAME hostage in her own office. And how the Fascists subsequently locked up four other women in jail for coming to her defense. For example.

Today he swears in the US Ambassador to the EU.
Not as slow of a news day as you might think… Rep. in TX still held against her will. DoD begging employees to abandon their jobs to work the border. DC gun laws no longer being enforced. I could go on.
You still did well with it.
We need one occasionally!!
Yeah, Mapquest’s socials deserve this praise. They’ve been great. Helps remind me there’s more of us—many more—than there ever will of them. And I’m not planning to surrender. Ever.
I love the part about how roundabouts are a HOAX and European scam.
Isn't that a weird thing to focus on? I suppose they will just grab anything to complain about. Roundabouts are efficient, if you know how to use them.
💯Although I have to say, where my Mother’s house is in Scotland, there is a HUGE roundabout; the most challenging part is to be sure you are in the correct lane.

Definitely! Pretty much no riding in the outside lane unless passing😉
My development has a roundabout and I love it until someone doesn't understand right of way and barges right through which makes it somewhat dangerous.
Yes. Anyone with a developed sense of nuanced wit is always welcome at my table.
Mapquest? Totally, entirely derivative of Gavin Newsom’s social parody of TrumpSpeak. Now Newsom’s cleverness has been turned into an instant-cliche.
Zero creativity, Mapquest. Straight up copy-catting. Doesn’t work
oh I dunno - wouldn't mind seeing a deluge of this kind of thing - mock mock mock
Mocking MAGA’s, my new hobby
Mocking is terrific. They just need a variation, not straight-up copycatting. It weakens the effectivness.
It's hilarious, and every single social media post that does the same is also going to be hilarious. If only social media were flooded with more 'copycats' who were equally brutal in imitating Donnie Demento's lunatic screeds........The more the merrier, and the more ludicrous the better.
Totally agree! Mock the 💩 out of tRumPutin! It's the thing that makes him most upset. I also hope this trend continues to spread 🙏. I'd love to see a list of all the things that would keep Tapioca-brain out of Heaven, next to the list of his 'Saintly Acts' - which would be very short indeed! I can't imagine even one thing. I can too easily imagine him getting to Heaven and demanding that he will be God from now on! Telling God: You're Fired!
Thank you for paying attention to this matter. Bring it on.
you don’t appreciate “mapper”?
"Thank you for your attention to this mapper" was brilliant!
Humor escapes you.
It works!!
I disagree - I enjoyed reading it almost as much as Gavin’s..
I believe you’re wrong about this.
Oh yes it does. I hope more creativity in mocking Trump's insane word salads.
Hey, I laughed. But yeah, the Donny-style tweet is in danger of over-saturation.
Every time Trump talks about his mortality - this isn’t the 1st time this year - I always believe that he’s been told his time left is limited. Congestive heart failure? Cancer?
Justice?
My voodoo doll?
My birthday candle wishes for the past 9 years?
Thank you for your service.
All my thoughts and prayers…?
🤣🤣🤣
💝💝💝💝💝
Mine's been getting quite a workout lately... also, I have to get more for the rest of these vile shits in the administration...
My Stephen Miller doll keeps bursting into flames though.
He is Joseph Goebbels incarnate!
😂😂😂😂
🎯
Agreed. People who haven’t been religious/spiritual in their lives often focus on what’s next at the end. And while I think Just Dance is more dangerous because more controlled, the personality of a broken door knob isn’t going to hold the cult together.
May it be so.
Maybe his dementia will kill him 1st
220, 221, whatever it takes.
Terrific movie—“Mr. Mom”
Instantaneous combustion of toxic, flammable gases.
Dumbness?
That's what I think too, every single time it comes up, and that he knows it. Especially since that might be the most self-aware thing he's said in years, maybe ever? He very much is not doing well in the get-into-heaven race.
Everyone has an expiration date, and only the universe knows and wont tell
Stupidity?
Please
"What kind of loathsome fuckwad complains about slavery being bad?" Ones who want to reinstate it.
Exactly
"How bad Slavery was," the pricktator carps.
Yep.
This is very important to the foundational principles of MAGA...that is one of the periods of time where America was "great," when Black people were enslaved and certain ethnic groups could get the chop without any accountability. Lynching was a fun family activity. But of course, being called out on the inbuilt advantages that came from having such a brutal system will make people feel...insulted.

Just as a note for such people. It's not to blame YOU for this. It's to enlist your help to break the system that runs on that and make that system more equitable. That's all that's asked.
It's important for this death cult to make institutions like the Smithsonian knuckle under and remove the contributions of minorities...and anything that centers them. Because if one were to listen to their accounts they would find that the dirty little secret animating America is bigotry. Remember, not all of us had our rights from the launch date. We weren't part of the base package. For example my own rights came as DLC.
I once had a job that took me to DC for a couple of months. I scoured the Smithsonian. Coolest place.
During slavery times, most white people did not own slaves, and they were kept in line by the plantation oligarchy with the message that no matter how poor they were, there was one group of people they could consider themselves superior to.

Women and children in forced commercial sexual exploitation constitute 78% of victims. Yep, slavery has grown from an estimate of 32,000,000 globally in 2010 to the current number.
It's time to leave these people on their own. They need their own country. Let's be the ones to secede this time.
That artwork opening this column is brilliant! 👏👏👏
Thank you for your attention to this MAPPER??? 😂😂😂 THATS Glorious! Thank you Mapquest!
"then it’s hello, Bad Place." HA! It would be sweet if he could just go to the bad place within the hour.
yeah, "mapper"
So good! 😂😂😂
Why wait an hour?😂😂
Ya gotta point! How about NOW!
Jeff, your newsletters give me hope when I’m feeling overwhelmed, depressed, curled up on the couch eating too much cheap chocolate, and in need of a smile.
I've given up wine and cut back on cannabis, so my salvation has come down to eating fistfuls of chocolate chips right out of the package. Forget all the other ingredients.
And who has the time to mix it all and wait for them to cook. I too eat chocolate chips right from the bag, but don't tell anyone!
When my son was a little kid, we used to buy a roll of chocolate-chip cookie dough at the store, then take it home and eat it raw. Was I always a perfect mom? Why no, I was not, but then again, we never got botulism or whatever and die from doing so.
Eating chocolate releases dopamine! I may try eating chocolate chips!
I keep a bar of 100 percent cacao handy. Try to take a bite every day.
Glad I'm not the only one who does that! 😂
😂😂😂
🤣
Yes! I melt some with a little canabutter, and eat it with a spoon, too.
I mean Cheap chocolate isnt bad though right? I love it.
Plain M&Ms for me from the dollar store - probably will be the two dollar store in the next few weeks.
Hershey's Milk chocolate bars (usually the king block size), but they put so much parafin into those things its more waxy than chocolate....but I love em.
Peanut M&Ms for me.
I had to give up fistfuls of anything chocolate, due to diabetes, so cannabis it is! CBD gummies keep my head from exploding, though I take them primarily for pain reduction and help with sleeping.
Yeah, that nighttime neuropathy's a bitch!
Wendy et al, support the workers who grow cacao. Buy Equal Exchange or Alter Eco. I buy EE tiny candy bars or AE chocolate truffles, usually at Halloween when they go on sale. Those truffles are really incredible and I still have a few left from last Halloween. Unfortunately the candy bars are gone... We drink EE coffee and tea too. The Revolution is here, if you want it.
Well, as the boys from Traffic sang, heaven is in your mind. As a former Renaissance scholar I can assure you that when Donny finally shuffles-off this mortal coil he'll be taking the express elevator directly to the seventh or eighth circle of the Inferno (no one is allowed to say "Hell" down below). Figure he has a choice locale in boiling pitch (from all those contractors he stiffed) somewhere Roy Cohn or Rush Limbaugh-adjacent. "Hey, I can see Adolf and Pol Pot from here!" John Prine wrote that your flag decal won't get you into Heaven anymore. Neither will your bogus Nobel, fatso. This is what happens when your thoughtless executive orders condemn, literally, millions to death by starvation and disease. Bon voyage!
Where he spends Eternity being pegged by both Cohn and Limbaugh
Doing his two-fisted jerkoff dance!
And being forced to read Newsom tweets while staring at a naked portrait of Rosie O'Donnell.
😂😂
Yikes!
HI2thDoc, I've seen two photos of Trump with Putin where it definitely looks like he's been pegged by putin. I hope so, anyway.
Unless he enjoys it
😬
In Dante’s “Divine Comedy,” the deepest pit of hell is frozen over, with Lucifer His Own Self trapped in the ice. I still remember this from my English-major undergrad days, because I fucking hate ice and snow. Anyway, this is where Donny is headed.
Scott Bessent is beginning to look like an empty ball sack that's been dipped in an ice bath.
Dante also wrote that some sinners are so evil that they are already in the Inferno while a demon occupies their earthly bodies.
Dante has a triple reinforced spit just for him.
1. Stefanik got booed off stage twice. It’s double the fun of watching her get knocked down a peg….. or two
2. Mapquest gets my undying admiration for their superb performance in trolling an incompetent fuckwit.
The expression on her face was priceless--she rather resembled her hero when he realized he was being booed at that baseball game....Stepfordanik got quite the ego blow when she stepped out of her sheltered bubble and found out what her constituents think of her.
Do these idiot republicons not understand that 75% of us DESPISE his flabby ass; and if you support him , then we despise you TOO!
Richly deserved
Watching her slink back was delicious! She read the crowd as they crucified her.
yes & yes
All this "getting into Heaven" horseshit: I'll repeat myself. He knows he's racing the clock, either in longevity or before his brain is fully tapioca. He wants the Nobel while he can still gloat. Obama got a Grammy, too. Has he been whining about that recording he made with the J6 jailbirds? He knows time is running out.
Obama has a Nobel Peace Prize, an Emmy, an Oscar, and two Grammys. T💩p has a loooong way to go to catch up.
That Emmy probably eats at Trump like acid. He competed, never won. And yes, he bitched nonstop.
He has NO artistic talent at all… does he think they hand one out for his tacky interior decorating?
He doesn't understand that they give those to people who do big things for other people.
Lord, hear our prayer.
Plus he wants to look as if he knows what's up. So he grasps at any Pseudo factlets he can spout from um memory. I'm guessing just like he’s always done.
I had to drive through damn roundabouts in Louisiana this morning. They are not a threat like the Criminal Republican Party is. I refuse to let some dipshit ram WRONG down my throat, and that is what the Criminals in Texas are doing to the Democrats there.
In my nearly 74 years, the American people have always suffered when a Republican was in the White House. We thought Nixon would be as bad as it could get.
Someday those people who call themselves MAGA and are not mental defectives will realize that they are like the followers of Jim Jones and others. Following Trump is a dead end. I don't see any grace or mercy in their future.
EXACTLY!
Yeah, Mapquest’s socials deserve this praise. They’ve been great. Helps remind me there’s more of us—many more—than there ever will of them. And I’m not planning to surrender. Ever.
Mapquest totally lifted Newsom’s comms team strategy. Lazy and not original
To Meryl Selig: What on earth is wrong with you? Sure, MapQuest is following Newsom’s lead--as should we all. The more sarcasm and ridicule heaped on Trump the better. We all know Trump has no sense of humor and can’t stand being laughed at. This clever parody of “Trump Talk” should be imitated far and wide.
Mocking Trump's schtick could be one of the best ways to get him to STFU. Maybe he'll eventually implode like a blocked bowel without his cute outlets.
Linda - 💯💯💯💯
Gotta disagree on this one. I'd love to see that insane all caps, ranting, rambling, self glorifying bullshit style copied by hundreds of accounts, celebrities, politicians, companies .... Flood the internet. Trump will go insane and so will the cult. Fox news will have a stroke. (if we're lucky so will someone else, and he'll find out heaven is a lot hotter than he thought)
Short circuit the patriarchy.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡ – ✧) Here for IT!
In my opinion, I think it’s brilliant and EFFECTIVE. Ooops — I caught the caps bug 🙄😂
It’s what the italics- and bold text-deprived have to do to indicate emphasis.
I miss Discus for that.
That, and probably nothing else? IIRC.
Exactly!
Then we should all be lazy. 🙄
“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.”
I believe they were running their bits before Newsom’s wonderful comms team launched theirs.
Most people don't mind being woke vs white christian supremacist. If this president thinks he's going down in history as good, I'm sure he'll end up being the worst president in the history of America. He's pretty much there now.
I hope he will prove to be the worst. Time will tell.
Uh, he’s accomplished that goal in his first term. He will lap the field in “worst of all time”!
Apparently the dipshit decorator who transformed the White House into a whorehouse doesn't understand the difference between gilded and guilty!!
In the breach of Donald’s ranting about slavery and how possibly it wasn’t as terrible as most folks think..well…I will wait for his mouth farts concerning the Holocaust and how it really wasn’t that terrible… it’s only a matter of time folks.
He was sick the day they taught history at Penn.
Hi Doc… I doubt the guy even attended courses based on the facts that he paid folks to take tests for him.. he’s a f*****g joke of a human and prez. I’m very worried that we will not have elections considering he said “vote for me this time and you won’t need to vote in the future”. OY🤡
Rewriting history ... high on the totalitarian list. Don't worry about the "coming" Consitutional Crisis, cause it's already past ... worry about the coming Show Trial Crisis.
