That is over $1M each to those seditious asswipes! Fuck that.
Also, fuck that caller on C-Span. Jan 6 happened after he had voted for Donny twice, and the idiot voted for him again in 2024. Yeah, fuck that guy. HARD!
My MAGA senators will be hearing from me. My congresswoman probably has smoke coming out her ears over this. She's not the world's biggest Donny fan. She sends out emails titled things like "Trump is unfit for office."
I watched Allison Gill last night explain how that $1.8B settlement is probably a lost cause for reasons: you can’t be on both sides of a lawsuit, the statute of limitations has run out and there’s a few others I’m not remembering.
I've read that, too, but assume it to be the reason that he was working with the DOJ (and IRS) to "settle" before the judge could render a decision. For the record, the settlement involves a promise for the IRS to NOT perform their usual post-presidency audit of his company tax returns. Very special boy, indeed!
That won't matter to DonOld's personal DOJ and Treasury though. He will get what he wants or they better look out for the wrath of MAGA. JC what a shit show.
I’ve been following. It is criminal. First, file a frivolous law suit for an insane amount. Then as the defendant, the Chief Executive, agree to “settle” out of court to gain $1.8B in a slush fund one controls? And, nothing from the GOP Congress. Nothing! Egregiously the goes, in part, to seditionists from 1/6/21. Our country has lost its f’g marbles.
Jeff - since you brought up the Christofascist Shitweasels, I became aware of this over the weekend... It more fun and games from those fun, fun boys at the Heritage Foundation. If you liked all the fun and games in Project 2025, you will really love this! It is their recipe for bringing about The New Republic of Gilead:
This is laughable given the countless stories of people's lives ruined by "the man and woman who created them," who gave them the opposite of "affection and protection." And the more insanely religious they were, the less likely it was that they were raised with "affection and protection."
I wonder how that actually plays with this base? I can't imagine even MAGAs thinking, "yeah give those guys a million each while I pay 6$/gal for gas".
Give me my share. I will use it to fix my kitchen backsplash, benefit animal rescues and expand our farm where we grow organic produce for hungry people in the inner city. Sadly, I didn't attack anyone or try to overthrow the government.
The former Trump enthusiast who called C-SPAN must have missed the chapter about all the Chapter Elevens. Just because he regrets voting for Trump doesn't mean he would ever vote for a Democrat, much less a woman of color, you kiddin? Fuck these idiots. We all feel the damage MAGA has caused and they'll feel the benefit when we fix it. Fuck them. I've had it. Thank you for listening to my TED talk.
I’m weird. The soundtrack to 1776 was one of my favorites when I was in junior high. I was probably the only Yankee teenager living in Culpeper, VA belting out the lyrics of Piddle, Twiddle and Resolve and the Triangle Trade. I remember tearing up to Momma, Look Sharp. I really liked William Daniels…a perfect John Adams. It wasn’t perfectly historically accurate, but it did the job. Now I’m going to have watch it today!
Well Jeff, it looks as if we had a revival on the Mall paid for by who? A preacher at the event said it was gods plan to build the Epstein Pedo Dance Hall. Couple that revival with those 2 gold painted statues of Donald, another preacher blessing it while the attendees pray to it, and the preachers feels compelled to say “it’s not a golden calf” I challenge anyone to say that folks have started a new religion… Church of Trump… Best to all fellow travelers.
“I don’t know whether to congratulate this guy for finally coming to his senses, or to be super pissed off at him for being a fucking idiot who voted for fascism three times.” Obligatory why not both?
How prescient was Margaret Attwood? The Handmaid's Tale has landed, long predicted. But I honestly believe that more Americans are wise to this than the blinkered buffoons who follow their chief buffoon into fresh hells of poverty, no health care and concentration camps. The Revolution will happen. It has to.
Well, I give credit to anyone who can publicly admit they were wrong…Yeah, he should’ve known, but hey, we have all made bad choices at one time or another..
Indeed we all have made bad choices in the past and will make bad choices again but, speaking for myself only, my bad choices did NOT make America a country that international tourists are warned away from - my bad choices did not destroy the our democracy, did not take voting rights from a large population of American citizens, did not bomb a girls school b/c I thought a war would make me more popular, did not commit insider trading and graft from the highest position in our land - did not cost our country our role as leader of the free world, did not alienate our allies to the point where they are no longer our allies - my bad choices did not render thousands, if not millions, of children hungry and kick millions off health insurance. my bad choices did not make American lfe impossible when is used to just be hard; my bad choices did not bring back dangerous illnesses we eradicated decades ago and my bad choices did not put a Gestapo presence in what was a democratic country complete with unsafe prisons - did not tear down part of the White House and then demand $1B from ME AND YOU - I could go on
Not where we were partly responsible for putting a fucking criminal in office with all the other criminals. I sure as hell haven’t made a mistake that bad.
Well, the idiot who called c-span to say he voted for Trump three times. I do not want to hear his excuse and not going to get sympathy from me. The people who voted for him three times. F-off!
Claudia really was such a beautiful woman....the bench is a priceless tribute. ❤️
"the entire population of Iran just rolled its eyes so hard in unison that it almost threw the Earth off its axis." 😂😂😂 Seriously, he's near death, right? Please tell me he's near death.
How much more must we endure... I honestly believe that if they screw around with the midterms, there will be violence. Who talked him out of the ludicrous lawsuit? 🤔
Thank GOD the debacle on the mall was so poorly attended. I live here and it wasn’t clear from reading the WaPo. And thank YOU for making me LOL at the insanity of this event and DJT’s part in it. Maybe the red hats are catching on. It’s late in the game, but ok.
I started laughing so hard at “godbothering fucknuggets” that I couldn’t read. That just begs for a Terry Gilliam animation. I can see it my head - A Magnificent Majestic Old Testament God raining hellfire down on the fucknuggets at his feet. Someone clever person do that for us. Please? But when I could finish reading it was great and I love the bench for Claudia
The same grifters who organized January 6 put on taxpayer-funded Jesuscon to celebrate America. Our April 15 money spent on a nine-figure no-bid tithe to the same ghouls who monetized the original riot, except this time the star can’t even be bothered to record a fresh blasphemy for 100-million-dollar altar where the zombie-eyed faithful sacrifice whatever’s left of shame.
And this time Trump is not just phoning in his fake Christianity, he’s butt-dialing it from the golf cart by reusing last month’s AI-slop Bible promo like Ron Popiel at 3AM.
And they DON'T NOTICE. They DON'T CARE. 70% of Republicans seem to be FINE with this.
Thanks, Jeff. Don the Con didn’t show up in person at the (taxpayer-funded) Christofascist Hootenanny because he was too busy cheating at golf. Quelle surprise, eh? 🙄
Bless you for sharing the Daily Claudia photos. A balm for our battered souls. Love the bench!
Great post as always. Thanks because I was avoiding that whole 250 deal but it's important to know a bit about what's coming down as we approach the big day. Maybe I'll pop up to Canada over the 4th?
today in Shit That Happened While I Was Busy Writing This Shit—
"Trump drops lawsuit against IRS amid talks of establishing a $1.8 billion fund for allies"
https://krdo.com/politics/cnn-us-politics/2026/05/18/trump-drops-lawsuit-against-irs-amid-talks-of-establishing-a-1-8-billion-fund-for-allies/
just more corrupt bullshit. Donny wants to give 1.8 billion taxpayer dollars to all the shitweasels who got nailed for planning and doing Jan 6.
fuck these fucking fucks
That is over $1M each to those seditious asswipes! Fuck that.
Also, fuck that caller on C-Span. Jan 6 happened after he had voted for Donny twice, and the idiot voted for him again in 2024. Yeah, fuck that guy. HARD!
yep....FAFO to this moron
So, my pathetically maga congresswoman will be hearing from me yet again. This is theft of public resources to pay off cronies.
My MAGA senators will be hearing from me. My congresswoman probably has smoke coming out her ears over this. She's not the world's biggest Donny fan. She sends out emails titled things like "Trump is unfit for office."
Watch him try to primary her
So, we're picking up the tab for a private party we're not invited to and where we would not be welcome.
Lovely to see the Claudia Bench.
Beautiful bench! And I love that your Katie wore red for her wedding! 😍
Beautiful Claudia Bench

FUCK NOOOOOO!!!!!!!
I suspect the judge will toss this and Frump will appeal it.
That won't matter to DonOld's personal DOJ and Treasury though. He will get what he wants or they better look out for the wrath of MAGA. JC what a shit show.
Oh, limitations? Conflict of interest? Not in Trump's DOJ.
Statute of limitations is the amount of time one has to file a lawsuit. That time has passed
Assume the money is going into the pockets of America's Pilonidal Cyst. Remember...ABG...Always Be Grifting!
I’ve been following. It is criminal. First, file a frivolous law suit for an insane amount. Then as the defendant, the Chief Executive, agree to “settle” out of court to gain $1.8B in a slush fund one controls? And, nothing from the GOP Congress. Nothing!

https://www.heritage.org/marriage-and-family/report/saving-america-saving-the-family-foundation-the-next-250-years
Terrifying, given how fast they've implemented project 2025.
This is laughable given the countless stories of people's lives ruined by "the man and woman who created them," who gave them the opposite of "affection and protection." And the more insanely religious they were, the less likely it was that they were raised with "affection and protection."
I wonder how that actually plays with this base? I can't imagine even MAGAs thinking, "yeah give those guys a million each while I pay 6$/gal for gas".
Methinks that the $1.8B slush fund will never find its way into the Confederates' pockets but will instead remain in T💩p's.
100% it will. Anything else would be a aberration for him
"Duh, gas is more 'spensive and eggs is too but it's Biden's fault. Trump 2028!"
Give me my share. I will use it to fix my kitchen backsplash, benefit animal rescues and expand our farm where we grow organic produce for hungry people in the inner city. Sadly, I didn't attack anyone or try to overthrow the government.
He wants to pay them for services rendered and he expects them to have his back AGAIN
When you represent the unreconstructed, they let you do it!
Those "allies" won't see Dime One
The former Trump enthusiast who called C-SPAN must have missed the chapter about all the Chapter Elevens.

Yeah, I've given up on celebrating the 4th of July for foreseeable future.
Same here. What's to celebrate?
Every year we watch the movie 1776 with William Daniels, have a cocktail or two, and make believe all things are possible. again.
I’m weird. The soundtrack to 1776 was one of my favorites when I was in junior high. I was probably the only Yankee teenager living in Culpeper, VA belting out the lyrics of Piddle, Twiddle and Resolve and the Triangle Trade. I remember tearing up to Momma, Look Sharp. I really liked William Daniels…a perfect John Adams. It wasn’t perfectly historically accurate, but it did the job. Now I’m going to have watch it today!
It's going to be "celebration of my cousin Evelyn's birthday" for the foreseeable future for me.
Ditto.
It's my country too and if I want to celebrate with beer and drone shows and sparkly red white and blue decals on my face, by god I will!!
repugs think they're the only patriotic citizens . I really am sick of their shit. Fuck them!!!
I think they know what hypocrites they are and do not care.
That's fine, you do you.
July 4th is my birthday. I'll be 70. It will be glum day for me, unlike some bdays past.
Well Jeff, it looks as if we had a revival on the Mall paid for by who? A preacher at the event said it was gods plan to build the Epstein Pedo Dance Hall.

Evan is pure gold. 😝
Redux from April
To him everything is an opportunity priced
As a chance for his next grifting heist
Under that cotton candy hair
Is a 666 there?
He sure acts like the antichrist
👌🤩
There's definitely a 666 there
The reason women choose the bear...

Stoopid MAGA rubes… he was a NEWYORK real estate scam artist with a big mouth-who was loathed by practically everyone in
NY& NJ… and you thought he was good for the country?
How prescient was Margaret Attwood? The Handmaid's Tale has landed, long predicted.

The glass isn't half empty or half full; it's irredeemably f**ked.
-@hairybadgeridfk.bsky.social
Or, as Our Hero - George Carlin said, "I don't think of the glass as half full or half empty... I think of it filled with piss".
👆😑
He always said it best!!
While we were contemplating whether the glass is half empty or half full, 77 million Americans urinated into it
Regrets are better than my "concerned" maine senator. I've more respect for this guy than those shitweasels Cassidy and Graham
Well, I give credit to anyone who can publicly admit they were wrong…Yeah, he should’ve known, but hey, we have all made bad choices at one time or another..

Not where we were partly responsible for putting a fucking criminal in office with all the other criminals. I sure as hell haven’t made a mistake that bad.
Let (s)he who hasn’t voted for a 34 X convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, fake TV businessman, racist cast the first stone.
Gimme rock. Stand back.
So very tempting
Exactly.
But don’t ever trust that guy
That was a hell of a bad choice to make three times even after captain befuddled pants tried to overthrow our government on 1/6.
Well, the idiot who called c-span to say he voted for Trump three times. I do not want to hear his excuse and not going to get sympathy from me. The people who voted for him three times. F-off!
Btw, I love the photo of the bench on the dock with Claudia’s name on it. Also the photo of Katie, her husband and Claudia.
Claudia really was such a beautiful woman....the bench is a priceless tribute. ❤️

Jesuscon says it all
Thanks, Jeff. Don the Con didn’t show up in person at the (taxpayer-funded) Christofascist Hootenanny because he was too busy cheating at golf. Quelle surprise, eh? 🙄
