fun fact: a week later, the most-tiresome people on earth are still canceling their paid subscriptions and calling me antisemitic, because I said nice things about Abdul El-Sayed and Zohran Mamdani. sigh...

David Skoglund's avatar

Fuck them! Those are two of the best communicators the Democrats have.

Teri Gelini's avatar

Agree and they are educated and intelligent...they care about the people in the city/state...

You are about the only US news I can stomach anymore. - A nasty Canadian

Richard Von Busack's avatar

Nasty Canadians are made, not born, and who could blame you for nastiness after this insane regime's dickery, foolery and fuckery?

And WELCOME to the NEW subscribers!

Michelle Kenoyer's avatar

Their loss! El-Sayed and Mamdani are awesome--and so are you!

pammyjo30's avatar

For me, that would be a reason to *become* a paid subscriber, if I weren't one already. Idiots.

Richard's avatar

I’m not planning to cancel my paid subscription. Some people get butt hurt over stupid petty comments. Btw, great photo’s of Claudia!

Kay-El's avatar

FFS. Many of us Mazel Tough are fans of those two nice gentlemen.

PollyP's avatar

The trash takes out itself.

SethTriggs's avatar

Some people are just unsatisfiable.

Skepticat's avatar

I'm surprised that people that stupid even subscribed, as they apparently are incapable of learning or thought. Carry on!

Kim Nesvig's avatar

I’m willing to bet that these are same people, or at least the same attitudes got Trump elected in the first place. Given lunacy of the American electoral college, a dedicated minority of extremists has found a way to establish a minority government. Unless everyone else works together, we may soon find ourselves ruled by a permanent fascist government by kleptocrats We need a broad coalition to remove the fascists from power, and that includes those who define themselves as conservatives, moderates, liberals and even social democrats, that includes Muslims as well as Jews, and people like myself who have absolutely no interest in deities.

Michaelthirkill's avatar

Time to upgrade my subscription, in that case

Richard Von Busack's avatar

I just have one question: Do you support Israel's right to exist? Or would you prefer it to remain imaginary. It's a simple question. Should be easy to answer for anyone who isn't anti-semitic, Why must you hate upon the Jews? What have they ever done to youse?

I think the campaign against El-Sayed is being financed by Big Turkey, worried about the cancellation of Thanksgiving.

Seriously, Facebook is real a stable of the other side of the aisle, the purity-ponies--so many of them on the same kind of message, so I suspect Russian action. All of them going on about Genocide Joe as if they're trying to write his obituary before he's gone. Nobody expects sanity in this subject, but they've been raving nuts on both sides. And meanwhile the crew of the Abraham Lincoln are starring in the worst reboot of Battleship Potemkin ever.

Robert Eckert's avatar

The suspicions about El-Sayed are because of statements made by El-Sayed that make his walkbacks sound insincere.

Noel's avatar

How stupid can they be?

Jeff Tiedrich's avatar

oh look — there's no Shit That Happened While I Was Busy Writing This Shit—

not a single news alert on my phone. maybe the silly season starts now...

Wendy The Druid 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🌈's avatar

Well better good this time around, Jeff. Because I'll say this till the day I die....HE'S FUCKING DYING.

There, I said it.

The white house has now given us four stories about one arm. handshakes. chronic venous insufficiency. All of it a fucking swiss signing table. So now a forearm no handshake has ever reached. I don't give a shit what's wrong with him — that's his business. I give a shit that these tight-lipped clipboard cock bastards demand subpoenaed medical records from trans kids while workshopping a whole goddamn band-aid.

Fuck it, I give up. Really.

I try every day, Ellen. This (like Jeff will attest) is my livelyhood.

Altamama2's avatar

Sorry Wendy that’s livelihood- I’m a teacher’s kid, sorry again, and a frustrated Canadian to boot…..!!!!

Linda McCaughey's avatar

When we start seeing P.F. appear with unblemished hands and arms, we can finally be sure that he is completely A.I. generated!

Cathy Wray's avatar

No, Wendy, please don't give up. Better days will be coming after the election... November 3rd!!!

Wendy The Druid 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🌈's avatar

Look, if numerous suicidal ideations over the last 8 years haven't done it, then being pissed off at the administration, and how they are trying to erase me -- Definitely won't do it.

Ginny Hall's avatar

From your lips to the goddess's ears, but I don't think he's dying soon enough. I saw a pretty convincing video about why rich malignant narcissists like him have a better-than-average life expectancy. He could be on a blood thinner that makes him bruise easily. I assume he is getting all kinds of medical treatments. He could live for years that way. Unfortunately.

Carol Moore's avatar

Today I find you, here. Thanks to Jeff! I clicked on your link, read your entire page, and subscribed. Big love from the Canadalands!

Jean Jacoby's avatar

Regarding Donnie and George Washington height: George was 6' 2" tall. Donnie, walking with Polish President Karol Nawrocki, 6' 1", is clearly shorter, maybe 5'11' at most. So in Donnie's ballroom, how come Donnie towers over George Washington? I think these are really important questions.

Linda McCaughey's avatar

Yup--I thought the same thing. Is nobody allowed to be taller than the gigantic piss-baby now, too?

Richard Von Busack's avatar

When I saw him showing off the ballroom to Washington, I thought Washington was asking him, "Why is this costing so much? Aren't you using slaves?"

HI2thDoc's avatar

tRump surely would if he could.

Sharon Hudnall's avatar

OK, I think this is why Shitler's mind thought of George Washington, out of the blue: "The U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS George Washington is deploying to the Middle East to relieve and replace the USS Abraham Lincoln." (Janky 6-Fingers). Yes, it's all a bad dream.

Sharon Hudnall's avatar

The worst president in history is showing his desperation to be a venerated icon like our best presidents. I hope the rotting pud rides off into the sunset with his stupid AI delusions -- and soon.

Cyndi's avatar

And how much of The Pumpkin Pathetic's weight do those slopshits take off every single time? 100 lbs.?

HI2thDoc's avatar

Well, this happened a couple of days ago. The board of the Kennedy Center voted to put fatfuck's name back on the building.

The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts

That's named for the beloved JFK

Has been despoiled by the Sultan of Sharts

Just so he can have his own way

His laughable board of sycophants

Also shields him from those Epstein files

Like Allison Nutlick and Usha Vance

Scavino, Bondi, and Wiles

Don't forget Paolo Zampolli

Who's preyed on many a teen

He claims he matched Mel and Don solely

And that it wasn't through Jeff Epstein

There's Nazi Laura Ingraham and Bartiromo the hack

Fossil Lee Greenwood and elated Elaine Chao

The common attributes that they all lack

Are any morals, ethics, or an integrity vow

So they vote without conscience or shame

To defile the Kennedy Center once more

By adding the reviled crime family name

Of that uncouth, vulgar predator

SethTriggs's avatar

Can there even be a "silly season" under one of these Maladministrations? Everything they do is so weird.

Fran Fried's avatar

Shhhhhh ... don't jinx yourself!

Michelle Vancura's avatar

Wait 5 minutes, Jeff…

Sheila Riley-Callahan's avatar

We can hope. Fingers crossed. 🤞🏼

Nancie's avatar

"Donny’s posting AI-generated slop of himself and George Washington signing shit..."

Why are Trump and his bestie G Washington signing a map?? Go AI!

Jeff Tiedrich's avatar

yeah, I noticed that, too. why a map?

Claudia Classon's avatar

And Trump must have gone back in time because he’s not using a Sharpie (well, it IS a map!).

HI2thDoc's avatar

He's prolly renaming America "Trumpland"

Mark Simpson's avatar

speaking of signing shit, why isn't the orange turd using his pre-K fat grip sharpie? would have made this more "realistic".

Carrie Quite Contrary's avatar

Commander Poopy Pants has sniffed all of the Sharpie's dry.

Michelle Vancura's avatar

Hurricane Lala is hitting Hawaii right now and Trump is missing a sharpie opportunity to reroute it. Oh, but wait, Hawaii is a blue state so never mind. He doesn’t give a shit about Hawaii.

jordan celso's avatar

Diverting a hurricane?

Richard Von Busack's avatar

Annexing the Straits of Hormuz

AuntTeeFa's avatar

Well, he knows more about maps than anyone doesn’t he? people are saying..

Michelle Kenoyer's avatar

Big, strong, muscle-bound maps, with tears in their eyes, even...

Jayme Wolworth's avatar

He wanted to show him that Trumplandia now includes the Strait of Hormuz?

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

Because he's not only renaming the Gulf of Mexico, he's slapping his name on everything. New York will now be known as "New Trump." Washington DC will be changed to Washington DJT.

Lisa Bieber's avatar

Maybe they're renaming everything. Gulf of Grift, Moron Mountains, Schrodinger's Straight...

Joe Bacon's avatar

Trump won't rest until everything is named after him.

Natalia Lincoln's avatar

Meanwhile, the rest of us just want to see that name on one thing. A nice slab, maybe right next to Ivana’s. It’ll never dry out, either.

Cathy Wray's avatar

But, Joe, all this shit will be ripped off in November.

Mary Hall's avatar

Gonna have to wait until at least January. The most dangerous time is going to be between November 3 and January 3 when the new Congress is sworn into office.

Dana Jae Labrecque's avatar

He won’t rest until Fort Knox is empty and he’s burned everything in America to the ground. That’s why Pooty put him here, and why Vought is quietly masterminding Project 2025.

Harold Miller's avatar

They’re changing the trajectory of a hurricane!

Ann Anderson's avatar

A physical therapist on YouTube who works with geriatric patients has been predicting for weeks that as Donald's prefrontal cortex shrinks, his ability to filter his speech will disappear, and that's exactly what we're seeing. He's saying what he thinks, to the extent that he thinks. What I don't understand is why everyone around him isn't simply saying yes boss and then going about their business in a rational way. Does it really need to be said that we should not spend our time and treasure to re-create a 20th century military aesthetic for the whims of a moron?

Mingo's avatar

Because they're just as psychotic and sadistic as Fat Donnie.

Cheri Collins's avatar

They aren’t humoring him because his presence in situ guarantees that the corporate oligarchs will continue to sprinkle loose change (millions) all over them. ALWAYS follow the money. I am entirely disgusted with this fucking regime.

AuntTeeFa's avatar

Every last one of these GOP fuckers is on the gravy train. They’re his trained seals

HI2thDoc's avatar

I've seen that guy! He's good

Mary Hall's avatar

Me three. Just wish it would HURRY THE FK UP!!

Nancy Potter's avatar

It probably took 5-7 years to design the new class of aircraft carriers, and redesigning them to move the towers and make all the other adjustments that would require will take another 5 years, so they can do their CAD busywork and hope he'll leave or die and a new president (even a Republican) will tell them to go back to the original plans.

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

No doubt they will slow walk his naval "redesign" so that he's out office before anything permanent happens.

HI2thDoc's avatar

The situation on the Lincoln

Is almost as bad as it sinkin'

Because Kegsbreath and tRump

Are each as dumb as a stump

And they fucking suck at thinkin'

Susan Niemann's avatar

Excellent! 👏👏👏

Neal Stiffelman's avatar

Each. Morning. I. Can’t. Even. Think. Anymore. Brain gone fuckity-bye. And, then, I read your daily and the sunlight creeps in through the curtains. Thank you. And I mean it.

Lisa Bieber's avatar

I guess Mr. McBonespurs is afraid the electromagnetic technology on the aircraft carriers will get wet and stop working. Is this the Stupid Season? It sure burns!

Nancy Potter's avatar

All of Trump's latest forays into ship design make me see Putin's hand. The only question is whether Putin played him ("Donald, I remember how impressive the ships looked in your WWII movies) or just directly told him to slow down the modernizing of the US fleet.

Marlene Lerner-Bigley (CA)'s avatar

I think so too but let’s not forget about his windmill obsessions.

LINDA ADAMS's avatar

Where the fuck is our Congress? We shouldn’t have to wait for fuckface to die to avoid spending billions of dollars redesigning something to make it worse.

Mary Greenwald's avatar

Congress has been on vacation since January 2025. Most recently. Most are so broken they believe Trump's version of America. That also includes the Supreme Court and voters.

Dr J's Sanity Space's avatar

Uncle Jeff, you are a gem! This was a mental health boost on a gloomy Sunday morning.

Jeff Tiedrich's avatar

well, that's nice to hear. I was worried this one was just going to get everybody depressed

Michelle Kenoyer's avatar

As the wonderful progressive talk-radio hostess Stephanie Miller says, we gotta laugh, or else we'd cry all day.

Mike Hammer's avatar

In that AI with Washington he’s writing “He knows I’m the greatest president ever. He couldn’t even afford quality dental implants. What a loser.”

HI2thDoc's avatar
1hEdited

Yeah, he is temporally displaced in his rat eaten brain. Osseointegrated implants in the 18th century, while going back to steam catapults in the 21st.

Stephanie Lajeskie's avatar

This is so fucking infuriating, there are no words. While our Draft Dodger in Chief is obsessing over a ballroom, having his name put back in on the Kennedy Center, the reflecting pool and golf, our sailors are so despondent, they’re literally jumping ship.

HI2thDoc's avatar

It is a well-known fact that George Washington hated kings. So he would be kicking drumpf's ass rather than signing shit with him and yakking contentedly.

Mary Hall's avatar

Washington purposely didn't run for re-election to reinforce that idea.

Robert Eckert's avatar

He didn't run for a third term because he was ill and correctly didn't think he would live much longer, and wanted to spend his last days in peace instead of aggravation.

Tess's avatar

As IF George Washington would have anything to do with this idiot! Cuckoo for cocoa puffs is EXACTLY correct….Why Oh Why?!!!!!!!! He is SO DUMB.

David Skoglund's avatar

Heather Cox Richardson has been using “Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs” for awhile.

Jeff Tiedrich's avatar

has she? I probably read it there and subconscioused it

Mary Hall's avatar

It's been around for at least 60 years. I remember seeing the commercials on TV during Saturday morning cartoons.

Ellen McKenzie's avatar

One of my favorite descriptors.

Mingo's avatar

Look how fat Donnie is in the picture of the White House/Military complex. Why is he posed with Mel Brooks dressed as George Washington? In real life George Washington was over six feet, tall for eighteenth century men. Yet Donnie is taller? There are no wires left to chew in his fat empty head.

Tess's avatar

OH…and great pics of you and Claudia! ❤️

Fran Fried's avatar

I guess he's moved on from Y.M.C.A. to In the Navy now ...

Koko in AZ's avatar

In that AI image of Trump and Washington in the Epstein Dance Hall, Washington looks so diminished compared to Trump. Washington was between 6'2" and 6'3", yet he's shorter than Dear Leader in the image. Subliminal messaging?

Cathy Rady's avatar

I bet George had the bigger dick too

AuntTeeFa's avatar

🤣 according to tales of a 🍄‍🟫

Cathy Rady's avatar

I'm thinking Donnie's is actually the size of a spore

which would explain why E Jean Carrol couldn't be sure exactly which body part he'd used when he assaulted her

Natalia Lincoln's avatar

It’s a pretty safe bet, considering…
