I hate it that we can't add pics and internet memes to our responses. There was a great one this weekend - a gold cosmetic bottle full of seaweed labeled "Trump Algae" with a price of $86.47. edit: changed s to a.
I hate that the interface keeps bouncing back to the page rather than the post, the message bar disappearing even tho it's now the only way to get to the comments, and liking posts popping them higher up in the thread. Maybe I'd like to like a comment AND reply to it without having to go FIND it again? 🤨 The enshittifying of the Substack algorithm has begun. Ugh.
I've been trying to adjust. I defintely prefer using my desktop (which DOES allow pictures in replies, usually) rather than the app when I'm at home. It's just such bullshit to make one click around and scroll more, and push popular repies to the top rather than just letting them appear linearly.
I thought it wuz me and my basic stupidity computer-wise! Phew. Now, being on a desktop - how do 'I' get a photo into a post since I've tried and no go?
Except for the Southwest Airlines app, I prefer to use a browser (usually Firefox or Adblock) on my phone, and always the desktop (never mobile) version of whatever site I'm on
I just looked at it on FB. What made it even funnier was that one of the responses included a photo of M A G A in red, white & blue (supposed amurrican flag) EXCEPT dripping seaweed/algae from the bottom of each letter and captioned: 'Make Algae Great Again'. lol Are ANY of his cultists buying into his bullshit this time around? SURELY even they're aware how the length of the supposed 'slit' grows with every telling, proving his habitual lying & dementia.
Speaking of his uber-stupid 8647 in which he also ranted again about 'you know James Comey is a corrupt cop, blah de blabbity blah blah...I'm partway through James Patterson's 'Escape'. The protagonist is a detective. On Page 68 (I made a mental note), he's had far too much to drink at his favourite cop bar so the new bar tender/law student he's becoming interested in has cut him off which HE describes as 'you're eight-sixing me' as she gives him a glass of water instead. This novel was published in 2022 by this most prolific novelist, probably written much earlier (it's 577 pages long). So EVEN COPS (maybe especially cops) use that term?
A profile of him on PBS recounted how he was enamored of selfish icon Ayn Rand. Great, so many fucking quasi-libertarians who wanna tell us how to live. Oh, the irony.
Yes, he did. PBS also said he used his enormous vocabulary of technical jargon and abstruse terminology to purposely obfuscate whenever he didn't want to answer a question.
Nah - most of them are dumb fucking clowns so they simply flat out lie. NO skills necessary, lol. IF they were asked to explain a single 'what lies behind' ANY of their choices/decisions they'd freeze while staring vacantly into space. Now I'm exempting Bill Cassidy from the 'no skills' group, but why on earth HE went along with demento's fuckery is beyond me.
This was so predictable. Altman, Zuckerberg, Musk, et al., all had there collective head in the sand (or they knew outright). Billions of dollars in circular investments that would never return any profits. AI, right now, is rife with issues. Companies are finding out it is cheaper to retain employees than to replace them with AI substitution and with less issues.
They need Data Centers to run them and people are saying no to them all over the world. My town has put a 90 day moratorium on one being threatened here.
How is it that WE knew this - when the 'do what donny wants' crowd somehow failed to see any of this? I had conversations with a few people - telling them I would NOT invest in or get involved with anything related to bitcoin or crypto - passing it along to our financial guy's new, young assistant. HE assured me that he wouldn't dream of putting what's my dwindling retirement funds (now that I'm forced to withdraw specific amounts each year - but which I put into a savings account where it's fairly safe) into any of it, feeling exactly as I did. Hubby has his retirement invested separately but pulls too much out when needed. It'll last us, hopefully. Mine would have been a small monthly pension until I asked IF it could be directly transferred to this same company to invest for me. Because it was sent as a lump sum it tripled in a few years where it chugs along. I'm fine with that. The other way it would have vanished into (and out of) our ATM withdrawals. Hubby had never saved a penny before we married and treats the ATM as a piggybank. Luckily, I'm the 'saver', lol. You have to have a fallback for emergencies - for us, it's mostly for the animals.
I have done quite well with investing, and I am teaching my grandkids about the magic of compound interest by giving them a small gift and depositing $100 into a high interest account at a credit union on every birthday. When they turn 18 there should be over $2K in the account. It's so important to have savings. It's good that you're a saver. However, my husband is 81 and getting him to spend money is a challenge. I keep telling him, "You can't take it with you." But the cheap accountant in him usually prevails.
I thought I had read somewhere that he took Ozempic or some other weight loss drug. He was looking relatively svelte last year. But perhaps, because of his other health issues he couldn't continue to take it. I understand that when you stop taking those drugs you do gain back all the weight?
Oh no! The bubble will burst and Donny will add to his Guinness World Book Score of fuck ups! I hear that Trump's Pentagon is responsible for helping him strong arm other governments to buy US AI, even thought hey don't want to. And, African countries strongarmed to give US their data for AID. We have a horrible government and there is no way around it. https://www.propublica.org/article/trump-state-department-africa-uganda-aid-medical-data-privacy
Love, love, love the frog. It gave me a much needed laugh.
I hope so. The trolligarchy wants to destroy moorland here in the South of Scotland where I live and all for a poxy data centre, which no one around this region wants. They’ll probably go for beautiful Northumberland next.
Trolligarchy. I've never heard that one. It may just be the perfect descriptive word for that crowd. Although it doesn't manage to imply all the incompetence and thievery.
I used it in a comment on Robert Reich’s Substack around the time of Musk’s latest Ponzi IPO. I think perhaps The Coffee Klatch. Because he is an online troll with a very sticky beak.
You SO need to fight this - get the word out to the citzenry to march as they did for Michael and Molly Forbes - with signs. POST online about how much damage it does to the water supply AND how much water it requires FROM its surroundings. The local officials around Turnberry caved to frump - imagining they were going to benefit with jobs and financial gains for the people who lived there - THEN apologized later when they realized they'd been had. They canNOT be daft enough to fall for it again? 'You've been trumped' Parts 1 and 2 is the documentary made about the horrendous damage he did - and will again.
Oh, it’s out—it was on ITV Borders news last week, and the locals to that proposed site are up in arms. And yes, before Turnberry, Alex Salmond somehow convinced the Aberdeenshire Council’s to reverse their decision to not allow Trump Links to be built (Aberdeenshire was his constituency a an MSP). And again, he’s been allowed to spoil another coastal habitat. Scotland doesn’t give a toss about his mother being Scottish—they HATE him. I don’t know anyone in my village who likes him. The sussed him out straight away. But this is a tech company, and I need look further into who’s responsible. I’m. going through personal problems and about to relocate at the moment, but I’ll do what I can.
You are my heroes. In fact, I know there is a branch of Indivisible Abroad in Scotland. I believe it is in Aberdeen. They recently had a protest. I think it was on June 14. They have a great banner.
Ahhh…one in Edinburgh, which is closer and the only one in Scotland. I see three in the South of England (London, the Southwest and South Central Coast. After I move, I’ll see about joining the Edinburgh group. Thanks again!
Jeff, you live in a beautiful place. I’ve been to NYC a few times and so time-pressed that I haven’t seen any of the Hudson River valley, and I hope to roll that into my next NYC trip. I love love love Our Daily Claudia. 💙💙💙
Hi Jeff and thanks for another incredible article full of the stupid shit that goes on in DC, especially the Oval Bordello.
As for AI, I don't think the bubble is bursting. There is a lot of uncertainty on that topic, and that's why stocks have been on such a wild ride.
It's not gonna stop soon.
As for prez fuckwit - the Reflecting Pool has CCTV covering every inch of it, 24 hrs/day. I'm sure that's true for all monuments in DC. It's hilarious to hear Trump blame vandals for a shitty piece of work being done under his "direction".
I am waiting with great anticipation for Trump to cover the Reflecting Pool with a tarp. It will be a great experiment in what happens when a giant tarp comes into contact with algae- and chemical- filled water. Like a toddler, Trump believes that if you can't see it it stops existing.
No. It is believable. Most of us knew exactly what Trump was the first time he ran for office. We knew Trump would win against a woman the third time he ran for office. A Voter will accept a felon, a liar, a misogynist, a racist because they are Trump.
Absolutely right. The Democrats, myself included, think all Democrats are as enlightened as they are. Although, both of the women who have run for President were polarizing. H. Clinton because she was a very controversal, foot in mouth person and Harris because she was a Black woman who, whether you like it or not, seemed like a DEI hire put in to replace Biden. This is what I hear from voters. Majority of Hispanic men voted against Harris as well as a proportion of both white and Black male Democrats who did not vote. We cant nominate people who we think should be President, but, but should nominate someone who could actually win. Idk if there is a Democrat who could, but I'm open to suggestions.
(Posted on Prof Richardson's Substack last night.)
EVERYONE in the world knows Donny is lying about the vandals. He might get a few of his gullibles to buy it. Even they know the actual truth. Donny pooed in the pool. The World is laughing. At him and at us for allowing him to continue to harm people and our country.
I want to hear someone conduct this interview:
"Little Donny, did you make poo in the pool?"
"I no poo in pool. Obama poo in pool. Dumocrats poo in pool. Aunt Tifa poo in pool. Biden poo in pool. I no poo."
"Little Donny, did you take a bribe plane from Qatar?"
"Plane was gift because Donny was good to Qatar."
"Donny, did you steal $1.7 Billion from Mommy's purse?"
"Todd and Scott took money from Mommy's purse, not Donny. Todd and Scott gave Donny Mommy's $1.7 Billion so I could give it to my friends."
"big strong quantums with tears in their eyes." 😂😂😂
It should alarm EVERYONE that Stephen Miller is really running the country.
"The dogs are barking, but nobody's home." That's what my grandmother would say. Another one is "five bricks shy of a load". God...I could go on and on. 😂
Not the sharpest tool in the shed, not the sharpest knife in the drawer. My favorite, a sandwich shy of a picnic. He is completely insane and the gutless, spineless GOP cowards carry on as if this is normal.
All America's Pilonidal Cyst has to do is just say things. As he is protected by Murc's Law, it's sufficient just to win the moment. Eventually the imaginary slit will grow to 500 feet, then 1000, feet, then two miles. And it will all be done by the one guy in the inflatable frog suit. The godking will say it, the cultists believe it, and that's what your next interminable online arguments in comment sections (if you are masochistic enough to indulge in such) will be about.
Clearly this is elder abuse going on, and god help us for whatever horrors are being fed to him to sign by the Nazi brain trust.
"Elder abuse" is, once again, focused on him, and I care about his welfare as much as he cares about my bills. We should be talking about Congress: Dereliction of duty and violations of their oath of office. They have a duty to the Amerucan people, not to their own power.
We CAN do both, Martha. Unlike the magat cultists, we here on Jeff's substack can walk and chew gum at the same time requiring both Jeff's and our humour to keep us sane and going until the day comes when we can oust the fucking idiot. Fwiw, our Democratic Congress people ARE working their butts off trying to get the Courts to put an end to his chicanery and voting against his bills/executive orders with his creepy signature. OUR reps are not in the majority - but hopefully WE can change that in November? Fwiw, I spend (as I'm sure others do too) a great part of my time 'talking about Congress'. When I'm able to check out Jeff's amazing posts it's primarily for his fantastic humour, his similar thinking (to mine) AND for the Daily Claudia which is calming and relaxing for me to gaze at her photos. I also despise the orange piggy with every fiber of my being.
Thats what happens when people dont take down ballot elections seriously. Trump didn't just win the Presidency, he won the Senate and the House. Minority Democrats can introduce bills, but the Speaker can ignore the Minority party. The Democrats can't change anything without some Republicans voting with them.
yeah, all that autopen was projection, as we knew. A speech & neurology therapist took a look at the felon signing his EOs. He has to use a thicker sharpie now, like when we were in 1st grade we used thicker pencils. And he doesn't know when to stop writing "m." but then she checked the EOs out on the WH website. lo & behold, they all had the same signature. & it wasn't the one she watched him sign. They are using autopen.
"Donny has no business presidenting, when his brain has turned to this much mush."
I don't think he ever had business being President.
I'm also done with the constant, factually incorrect hyperbole "No one's ever seen this," "most beautiful piece of chocolate cake you've ever seen," "this has never been done". Genug already.
I know, it's exhausting, right? I'm not sure what personality flaw causes that, but he simply cannot speak in anything other than superlatives. Nothing is ever normally just good, bad, OK, or even awful. It's always the best, most beautiful, or worst thing ever in the history of the universe. I guess when you come down to it, he's just a salesman at heart and he's just trying to sell us on his bullshit. I've said since the beginning that if he hadn't been born rich, he'd be a used car salesman.
I like to think that the reason he speaks only in superlatives is that he is the worst, most horrible, most criminal, most disgusting, most abusive person who ever lived. He's kindly giving us a preview.
"It's the greatest show on Earth!" America has been exploding with mindless hyperbole since its inception. Trump is the national culmination of gaseous bombast over meaningful substance. Look at how our economy has burped along with one fatuous mega-investment "bubble" after another -- the Gold Rush, the housing bubble, the high tech bubble, the AI and crypto bubbles .... Like algae fermenting in the Reflecting Pool.
Just tired of it coming out of the Oval Office. If the Grim Reaper could pause on Mitch McConnell for a moment, and reap Trump, it would be a public service.
How about JUST SAY NO DAY. No Orange A-hole for a day. Everyone ignore him. Unplug him. Put him in a big playpen with a phony phone and leave him in the care of a nice non-English-speaking nanny; that way it wouldn’t be cruel, and he might learn how to be a human being. And do a second day, etc. It's a good fantasy, anyway.
I'm waiting for someone to invoke the Fred Trump plan: apparently when old Fred's dimentia progressed to a certain point, they created an office for him, gave him papers to read and sign, and connected his phone so that he could only talk to his secretary. Kept him calm and out of trouble while the grown-ups did the work. It's a great plan "except" for the grown-ups part...
My other fantasy is to have him and his whole freak show be hustled down to a basement bunker with mini-golf and cheeseburgers. Tell them Antifa has seized the White House. Keep 'em down there with new nonsense every day.
Even when it was voted out of office, we still had to endure seeing articles about it and its photo and unTruth antiSocial missives continuously for those 4 years. Constant triggering of PTSD. And I hate to say it but even "our side" feels compelled to call out whenever it hasn't made any public appearances in 2 or more days. I know we all are hoping against hope it's a sign the end is near, but it also feeds into how 'important' this one fucked-up individual is in all of our lives, and adds to the power it wields. No wonder it thinks it's more powerful than all the baddies throughout history!
If you want to refresh yourself after seeing Preznit Fuckwit's brain curdle like a tuna sandwich in the midday sun, watch YouTube videos of Europeans here for the World Cup having a blast in America. It'll make you feel better about our fucked up country.
Yes! I'm not a particular fan of soccer but these have been wonderful (but also embarrassing - lots of comments about the size of our food portions, and they're not wrong).
His mind is and always has been that of a six year old child. Exaggeration and failure to see common sense and reason, never backing down, whining when he realizes he’s outnumbered, outsmarted.
today in Shit That Happened While I Was Busy Writing This Shit—
"US AI stock sell-off shakes markets from Wall Street to Asia"
https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/jun/23/ai-stocks-sell-off-us-markets
uh oh, is the bubble bursting?
His fucking father should have used a powerful rubber....
It’s from the terrorist group Algifa
Right, here we go... Is it pronounced "Algeeefa or Aljeeefa"? I'm not ending up on the wrong side of the GIF wars again.
Love it!
🤣🤣🤣
lol
Ha! I see what you did there! Kudos! :-)
OHMYGAWD!!! That’s fucking brilliant BigDaddy52!! BWAHAHAHAHAHA! 😬🍁🇨🇦
🤣😂🤣
LOLOLOLOLOLOL. LOVE IT.
🤣
Ewww….just the thought🤢🤢🤢
Yep, just like a (algae filled) water balloon
I hate it that we can't add pics and internet memes to our responses. There was a great one this weekend - a gold cosmetic bottle full of seaweed labeled "Trump Algae" with a price of $86.47. edit: changed s to a.
Couldn't find that one, but did find this

Talk about a clownboat. 🤣
...with clown shoes!
That's what I'm talkin' 'bout! LOL
Good one, Steve
I snort laughed when I saw that meme🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks, Steve, I needed that laugh 🤓🖖🏻
Love this!
Love it!!! Especially as a Floridian...
🤣🤣🤣🤣I’ll get back to you when, and if, I ever stop laughing 🤣 🤣🤣🤣
First it was those seashells, now even the algae is going woke
Lolololol
I hate that the interface keeps bouncing back to the page rather than the post, the message bar disappearing even tho it's now the only way to get to the comments, and liking posts popping them higher up in the thread. Maybe I'd like to like a comment AND reply to it without having to go FIND it again? 🤨 The enshittifying of the Substack algorithm has begun. Ugh.
Ok, end rant.
It’s been happening for a while and it’s fucking annoying. I spend less time here than I used to because of it
I've been trying to adjust. I defintely prefer using my desktop (which DOES allow pictures in replies, usually) rather than the app when I'm at home. It's just such bullshit to make one click around and scroll more, and push popular repies to the top rather than just letting them appear linearly.

“Make Algae Great Again” I love it, Elizabeth 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🖖🏻🤓
Wish I'd thought of it first~ BUT we can put it on signs! ;)
Great idea!
Speaking of his uber-stupid 8647 in which he also ranted again about 'you know James Comey is a corrupt cop, blah de blabbity blah blah...I'm partway through James Patterson's 'Escape'.

I agree! Jeff, can you change that?
Saw it Stephan, didn’t save it though…
Just like the dot.com or internet bubble whatever burst around 2000. Fitting, since Greenspan was the Fed Chair then, & he died this week.
A profile of him on PBS recounted how he was enamored of selfish icon Ayn Rand. Great, so many fucking quasi-libertarians who wanna tell us how to live. Oh, the irony.
To be fair, he did coin the phrase "irrational exuberance" which is incredibly useful in all kinds of situations.
Yes, he did. PBS also said he used his enormous vocabulary of technical jargon and abstruse terminology to purposely obfuscate whenever he didn't want to answer a question.
I bet he offered courses on obfuscation and that’s why there are so many republicans who use their skills when being questioned by Congress.
Nah - most of them are dumb fucking clowns so they simply flat out lie. NO skills necessary, lol. IF they were asked to explain a single 'what lies behind' ANY of their choices/decisions they'd freeze while staring vacantly into space. Now I'm exempting Bill Cassidy from the 'no skills' group, but why on earth HE went along with demento's fuckery is beyond me.

I was just sharing this article about that a couple days ago: https://www.planetearthandbeyond.co/p/the-ai-boomerang-is-about-to-hit
This!

Couldn't agree more on all points!
Jeff, Dont you know...the way to Kill Trump is to douse him down with Algae.
https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-trump-s-kryptonite-is-pond-scum-that-s-how-we-kill-him
Although a stake of holly through the heart also appeals.
How about a truckload of cheeseburgers & fries?
he does that already and it hasnt killed him yet.
His weight has ballooned recently. At the G-7 he looked like the Hulk - only orange instead of green.
I thought I had read somewhere that he took Ozempic or some other weight loss drug. He was looking relatively svelte last year. But perhaps, because of his other health issues he couldn't continue to take it. I understand that when you stop taking those drugs you do gain back all the weight?
'The Inedible Bulk' (credit to Marvel's brilliant parody series 'Not Brand Echh!' from the late 60s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_Brand_Echh )
Rainbow Railroad-thank you!
but can we still douse trump down with Algae ?
And Miller while we are at it?
oh - HIM first - he's the donny whisperer so without his venom, the fuckwit's just a blatherin fool.
Wendy - thank you! I just read this and have subscribed. You put into words what I'm feeling on a daily basis, and will share with others.
we do it every day, like Uncle Jeff does....only Jeff does it better than I do.
Oh no! The bubble will burst and Donny will add to his Guinness World Book Score of fuck ups!

Inflatable frog resembles Bezos's inflatable wife. Might be a trend.
I would love to see that frog wear a painted on version of her Met Gala Dress.

That would be perfect. Besos could be the prince that kissed the frog.
Her face filler injections are out of control… Terrifying, actually 🤢 even by Mar-A-Lago standards
I'd hate to think about what her tongue is busily 'eating'
Yikes.
🤢🤢🤢
Yes! I need a frog suit!
Oh dang , , , this absolutely raises the bar!
I hope so. The trolligarchy wants to destroy moorland here in the South of Scotland where I live and all for a poxy data centre, which no one around this region wants. They’ll probably go for beautiful Northumberland next.
Trolligarchy. I've never heard that one. It may just be the perfect descriptive word for that crowd. Although it doesn't manage to imply all the incompetence and thievery.

You SO need to fight this - get the word out to the citzenry to march as they did for Michael and Molly Forbes - with signs. POST online about how much damage it does to the water supply AND how much water it requires FROM its surroundings.

I think people in the South of Scotland should start trolling Trump about algae.
They do it every time he sets swollen foot upon this green land! They hate him!

Honestly, AI should drop off the face of this blue cosmic spinning stone Jeff!
Long foretold, inevitable.
Not really inevitable, but with oligarchs in charge ...
Definitely, one of your finest pieces JT!
Yep. Just as most figured
Jeff, you live in a beautiful place. I’ve been to NYC a few times and so time-pressed that I haven’t seen any of the Hudson River valley, and I hope to roll that into my next NYC trip. I love love love Our Daily Claudia. 💙💙💙

As for prez fuckwit - the Reflecting Pool has CCTV covering every inch of it, 24 hrs/day. I'm sure that's true for all monuments in DC. It's hilarious to hear Trump blame vandals for a shitty piece of work being done under his "direction".
I hope so. It can only be a good thing if it is. We’ve already got more than we need.
I am waiting with great anticipation for Trump to cover the Reflecting Pool with a tarp. It will be a great experiment in what happens when a giant tarp comes into contact with algae- and chemical- filled water. Like a toddler, Trump believes that if you can't see it it stops existing.
It's all so unbelievable.
No. It is believable. Most of us knew exactly what Trump was the first time he ran for office. We knew Trump would win against a woman the third time he ran for office. A Voter will accept a felon, a liar, a misogynist, a racist because they are Trump.
And accept a total POS liar too.
AND insult her AND cheat (with the aid of his pal musk) 'who knows those machines', sayeth the misogynistic racist azzhole.
Absolutely right. The Democrats, myself included, think all Democrats are as enlightened as they are. Although, both of the women who have run for President were polarizing. H. Clinton because she was a very controversal, foot in mouth person and Harris because she was a Black woman who, whether you like it or not, seemed like a DEI hire put in to replace Biden. This is what I hear from voters. Majority of Hispanic men voted against Harris as well as a proportion of both white and Black male Democrats who did not vote. We cant nominate people who we think should be President, but, but should nominate someone who could actually win. Idk if there is a Democrat who could, but I'm open to suggestions.
Sadly, I bet the first female President will be a Republican.
I have a puppy that thinks if she can't see you, you can't see her! Same principal!!!
Playing peek-a-boo
But you can love the puppy, Commander Crazypants, not so much. 🤭

EVERYONE in the world knows Donny is lying about the vandals. He might get a few of his gullibles to buy it. Even they know the actual truth. Donny pooed in the pool. The World is laughing. At him and at us for allowing him to continue to harm people and our country.
I want to hear someone conduct this interview:
"Little Donny, did you make poo in the pool?"
"I no poo in pool. Obama poo in pool. Dumocrats poo in pool. Aunt Tifa poo in pool. Biden poo in pool. I no poo."
"Little Donny, did you take a bribe plane from Qatar?"
"Plane was gift because Donny was good to Qatar."
"Donny, did you steal $1.7 Billion from Mommy's purse?"
"Todd and Scott took money from Mommy's purse, not Donny. Todd and Scott gave Donny Mommy's $1.7 Billion so I could give it to my friends."
And the tarp is STILL covering up where they obliterated his name from the Kennedy Center.
BRING DOWN THE TARP!
Allegedly removed
He's now thinking of a gigantic mirror. Better than Obamawater!
Bwahahaha
Yet it’s right on brand.
"big strong quantums with tears in their eyes." 😂😂😂
It should alarm EVERYONE that Stephen Miller is really running the country.
"The dogs are barking, but nobody's home." That's what my grandmother would say. Another one is "five bricks shy of a load". God...I could go on and on. 😂
He is completely insane.
Not the sharpest tool in the shed, not the sharpest knife in the drawer. My favorite, a sandwich shy of a picnic. He is completely insane and the gutless, spineless GOP cowards carry on as if this is normal.
I remember Robin Williams' variation: a taco short of a combination plate.
The rocking chairs rocking but he ain't in it.
Ooooh... excellent. Hadn't heard that one.
I like that one!
LOL! Good one.
His cornbread ain't done in the middle.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
YES! These are great!
The cheese has slid off his cracker!
A bubble off plumb.
HAHAHA!!! Great one!
Elevator doesn't go all the way to the top!
Duller than a box of rocks
That boy's just not right!
😂😂
Oh it absolutely does, and I bet Musk is also in on takeover.
Also, if only Trump's parents had used a "powerful rubber", we wouldn't be in this damn mess.
Or if the bee-hive mother had yelled “Pull out you schmuck, pull out!!!”
Ha!!!!!!
Obviously the Amphifa terrorists are illegal immigrants from some slit hole country!
Part of the now infamous pro-algae wing!
HAHA!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Brilliant!
All America's Pilonidal Cyst has to do is just say things. As he is protected by Murc's Law, it's sufficient just to win the moment. Eventually the imaginary slit will grow to 500 feet, then 1000, feet, then two miles. And it will all be done by the one guy in the inflatable frog suit. The godking will say it, the cultists believe it, and that's what your next interminable online arguments in comment sections (if you are masochistic enough to indulge in such) will be about.
Clearly this is elder abuse going on, and god help us for whatever horrors are being fed to him to sign by the Nazi brain trust.
"Elder abuse" is, once again, focused on him, and I care about his welfare as much as he cares about my bills. We should be talking about Congress: Dereliction of duty and violations of their oath of office. They have a duty to the Amerucan people, not to their own power.
We CAN do both, Martha. Unlike the magat cultists, we here on Jeff's substack can walk and chew gum at the same time requiring both Jeff's and our humour to keep us sane and going until the day comes when we can oust the fucking idiot. Fwiw, our Democratic Congress people ARE working their butts off trying to get the Courts to put an end to his chicanery and voting against his bills/executive orders with his creepy signature. OUR reps are not in the majority - but hopefully WE can change that in November? Fwiw, I spend (as I'm sure others do too) a great part of my time 'talking about Congress'. When I'm able to check out Jeff's amazing posts it's primarily for his fantastic humour, his similar thinking (to mine) AND for the Daily Claudia which is calming and relaxing for me to gaze at her photos. I also despise the orange piggy with every fiber of my being.
Thank you, Martha! Yes!
Thats what happens when people dont take down ballot elections seriously. Trump didn't just win the Presidency, he won the Senate and the House. Minority Democrats can introduce bills, but the Speaker can ignore the Minority party. The Democrats can't change anything without some Republicans voting with them.
While one of his kids stole his estate BTW...
Thank you for asking, yet again, “Who wrote that shit for him?”!
Right?!
yeah, all that autopen was projection, as we knew. A speech & neurology therapist took a look at the felon signing his EOs. He has to use a thicker sharpie now, like when we were in 1st grade we used thicker pencils. And he doesn't know when to stop writing "m." but then she checked the EOs out on the WH website. lo & behold, they all had the same signature. & it wasn't the one she watched him sign. They are using autopen.
do you have a link to that? I'd love to read it
"Donny has no business presidenting, when his brain has turned to this much mush."
I don't think he ever had business being President.
I'm also done with the constant, factually incorrect hyperbole "No one's ever seen this," "most beautiful piece of chocolate cake you've ever seen," "this has never been done". Genug already.
I know, it's exhausting, right? I'm not sure what personality flaw causes that, but he simply cannot speak in anything other than superlatives. Nothing is ever normally just good, bad, OK, or even awful. It's always the best, most beautiful, or worst thing ever in the history of the universe. I guess when you come down to it, he's just a salesman at heart and he's just trying to sell us on his bullshit. I've said since the beginning that if he hadn't been born rich, he'd be a used car salesman.
And he would have failed at that, too.
I like to think that the reason he speaks only in superlatives is that he is the worst, most horrible, most criminal, most disgusting, most abusive person who ever lived. He's kindly giving us a preview.
Malignant narcissism and FT Dementia account for the idiotic superlatives.
"It's the greatest show on Earth!" America has been exploding with mindless hyperbole since its inception. Trump is the national culmination of gaseous bombast over meaningful substance. Look at how our economy has burped along with one fatuous mega-investment "bubble" after another -- the Gold Rush, the housing bubble, the high tech bubble, the AI and crypto bubbles .... Like algae fermenting in the Reflecting Pool.
Just tired of it coming out of the Oval Office. If the Grim Reaper could pause on Mitch McConnell for a moment, and reap Trump, it would be a public service.
I think that the American people deserve a twofer.
And with each bubble, taxpayers bail out the industry. Privatized profits; socialized liabilities. The American corporate way
How about JUST SAY NO DAY. No Orange A-hole for a day. Everyone ignore him. Unplug him. Put him in a big playpen with a phony phone and leave him in the care of a nice non-English-speaking nanny; that way it wouldn’t be cruel, and he might learn how to be a human being. And do a second day, etc. It's a good fantasy, anyway.
I'm waiting for someone to invoke the Fred Trump plan: apparently when old Fred's dimentia progressed to a certain point, they created an office for him, gave him papers to read and sign, and connected his phone so that he could only talk to his secretary. Kept him calm and out of trouble while the grown-ups did the work. It's a great plan "except" for the grown-ups part...
That is what we have now. He gets to sit in the Oval Office Playpen and the Destroyers are running the country.
My other fantasy is to have him and his whole freak show be hustled down to a basement bunker with mini-golf and cheeseburgers. Tell them Antifa has seized the White House. Keep 'em down there with new nonsense every day.
They just bombed the WH!!
Tell them that and show pictures of the East wing (or Iranian schools bombed)
You got that right!
Yes, we need to do that this instant!
Even when it was voted out of office, we still had to endure seeing articles about it and its photo and unTruth antiSocial missives continuously for those 4 years. Constant triggering of PTSD. And I hate to say it but even "our side" feels compelled to call out whenever it hasn't made any public appearances in 2 or more days. I know we all are hoping against hope it's a sign the end is near, but it also feeds into how 'important' this one fucked-up individual is in all of our lives, and adds to the power it wields. No wonder it thinks it's more powerful than all the baddies throughout history!
You mentioned PTSD. These are trying times.
If you want to refresh yourself after seeing Preznit Fuckwit's brain curdle like a tuna sandwich in the midday sun, watch YouTube videos of Europeans here for the World Cup having a blast in America. It'll make you feel better about our fucked up country.
Yes! I'm not a particular fan of soccer but these have been wonderful (but also embarrassing - lots of comments about the size of our food portions, and they're not wrong).
I like the guy who was so enamored of the restaurant that brought him food (chips and salsa) before he even ordered food.
dumbfuckery like few thought possible
The human autopen is old, rusty and should be put out of commission.
Smelly too.
For a pool that is only one foot deep, Jabba has dug himself into a six foot hole.
We can hope😁
Lord, hear our prayer.
That is too funny that he had originally said that the rubber was so powerful it couldn’t be cut with a knife!
Powerful rubber. Like no one’s ever seen.
His mind is and always has been that of a six year old child. Exaggeration and failure to see common sense and reason, never backing down, whining when he realizes he’s outnumbered, outsmarted.
He's been looking at the powerful rubber very strongly!
There’s always a comment with this airbag
If vandals are gonna vandalize, they would be vandalizing the tarp covering where the vandal's name used to be.
I can't understand why some Antifa people haven't set that tarp on fire.
I was thinking the very same. Probably being very heavily guarded.
