Cheeto Jesus has some nerve criticizing the appearance of ANYONE’s skin. His looks like someone has already started the taxidermy process.

kdsherpa's avatar

My first thought was about the lizard skin of his good buddy, rfkjr.

DR Darke's avatar

Well, that's to protect him when he swims in sewage.... 🤦‍♂️

kdsherpa's avatar

FOTFLMAO!!! GOOD one!!!

Linda Fairchild's avatar

Best "internets today"!!! Taxidermy is for dead animals. There's hope in America...

Betsy's avatar

And it’s so not even true. To hurt my feelings you gotta hit me where it hurts, not just make up shit that’s not true.

Pat Chubb's avatar

Wrong turn on the internets …

George in Atlanta's avatar

Fell in with a bad crowd.

CBA's avatar

Apparently The Boss ain't orange enough. I'd wear that as a badge of honor.

Morgan's avatar

I’ll take Springsteen over that Cheeto Jesus any minute of the day month year!!

Morgan's avatar

You cannot unsee that fat orange monstrosity

Dave the Spot-on Moron's avatar

Skin doesn’t “atrophy.” Muscles atrophy. Skin is a different organ than skeletal or smooth muscles. He’s such a dumbass (and I don’t have to tell you to whom I refer.)

meryl selig's avatar

That deformed orange-coated pile of lard’scontinuous audacity to attack others based on his twisted opinions on their looks…it has been a continuous aspect of Dear Leader’s repugnant spewage. It never fails to repel and disgust nonMAGAts.

While I am at it: I simply cannot unsee the anus-mouth pursed or gaping on the butt-cheeks of where a normal face should be.

And Jeff: “knickertwisted” as an adjective: bravissimo!

Marguerite Foster's avatar

You're not wrong... and I'm still laughing. Excellent!!

Cats 🐈🐈‍⬛'s avatar

Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳😤😤😤😤🤣🤣🤣🤣

Susan Keefer's avatar

Holy shit, Screw Loose Donny really had a meltdown over The Boss! 😂

Jeff Tiedrich's avatar

and Taylor Swift, and the Supreme Court, and Walmart. I sat down with the intention of writing about all of them but ended up doing fifteen hundred words on Springsteen. oh well, maybe I'll get to all that other shit tomorrow

Bob Bowden's avatar

You’re like John Oliver, doing a deep dive on a Sunday, and it was well done.

Meanwhile, the MAGAs are burning vinyl and tape. Be aware the old EPA warns against breathing in the fumes, but tRump’s EPA and Bobby Brainworms will probably recommend deep inhalation

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

This was like people pouring out their French wine bottles in protest. Once they're paid for you can do what you want with them. Including looking like an idiot.

michellefromchicago's avatar

Or when right-wingers got their knickers in a twist over the Starbucks generic holiday disposable coffee cups (because they were not specifically Christmas-themed cups) and TOTALLY OWNED that gigantic corporation by going into their stores, buying a coffee, and then... throwing it in the trash, untasted. Yes, wasting your own money is definitely the best way to protest! That'll show 'em!!!

Ellis Weiner's avatar

--which, to their brains, will an improvement.

Mark Slattery's avatar

We have to remember, though, that he's throwing out all this idiocy about Springsteen and Swift to distract his cult from the failures of the policies that will hurt them.

drosophilist's avatar

“Screw up the economy, throw red meat at the base to keep them happy” is a GOP rule that predates Cheetolini.

meryl selig's avatar

Cheetolini!! May I use that?

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

Distraction and deflection Mark, Trump learned a few lessons from his mob upbringing!!

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

And to keep his cultists from waking up.

George in Atlanta's avatar

Which is good, actually. They won't believe it just on our say-so (since we're baby-eating commies, and all). The pain headed their way is unimaginable.

Major Kong's avatar

Why the hell does Donnie think that the retailers should absorb the costs if the tariffs? Has he FINALLY understood that the importer, and not the exporting country pays the tariffs?

David Olson's avatar

If one really pulled it apart, the whole tariff thing is a mafia style shakedown. We’ve seen the movie scene a thousand times: nice little business you have there, shame if something happened to it. So Donnie the wannabe Don comes up with the tariff scheme. Problem for Donnie, the smart Don’s knew how much they could dip their beak and not kill the company. Donnie has no constraint.

Denise Donaldson's avatar

He always knew that. He just pretends not to, to play his little power games. The cruelty is ALWAYS the point.

David A Pitock's avatar

No 👎 he hasn't its always someone else's fault.

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

Dubious, think old dog, new trick Major!!

Susan P Thatcher's avatar

And you will find that even more shit has happened. Flood the zone.

Chris Hierholzer's avatar

There's plenty of time Jeff.

RuthAnne Leibman's avatar

Hard to know where to focus, there’s such an over abundance of topics concerning our Dear Leader

michellefromchicago's avatar

WaldeMart wins the comments today, IMO

Ann Anderson's avatar

Donny thinks Walmart should eat the tariffs, and that will go over well because the Walton family is known for its concern for the greater good.

Carthago Delenda Est's avatar

Because we all know Walmart is the honey badger of retail.

They just don't care.

Tess's avatar

That was the BEST takedown of trumpty dump ever with your Springsteen words!!!!!!

FTrump And FPutin Too's avatar

So much shit in so little time! I think you’re doing great, phenomenal even! I got stuck on how the Orange MagaDisaster doesn’t know a prune is a dried plum so he’s redundant without realizing it, which applies to anything coming out his sphincter speaker.

Bill Corbett's avatar

Jeff, it's impossible to write about all things at once. There would be no end to it, just page after page after page. Your fingers would be nubs.

Emma Ray's avatar

Jeff, so glad you wrote this one on Bruce, he is the best of topics and its a wonderful relief to read about him and avoid all the other garbage flowing down the drains of late.

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

You made the right choice this is epic,.

displacedCTYankee's avatar

Don't be too hard on Jeff. There's a lot on his plate to cover. He's not queer AFAIK and probably most of his readers aren't, either. But we do care. So does Turner Classic Movies, I think, who have been running what seems to me like an increased number of "pre-Code" movies.

Wendy The Druid 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🌈's avatar

I wasn’t being hard I was suggesting that I didn’t have it in me to do it today , so I focused on something else , Jeff’s constitution score is way higher than mine

Susan Keefer's avatar

Springsteen deserves an entire article. Thank you.

Barb Bacon's avatar

There's still time left today!! Maybe you can start writing 2 articles a day! hahaha

Rick Calegari's avatar

Go figure. The 300 lb. mango monstrosity can dish it out but can't take it. Fuckface the Last is like that playground bully who would punch you in the face but if you hit him back, he'd go running to the teacher crying and say you started it. A little limberger with that whine ass breath? Hopefully more rock icons like Neil Young and Eddie Vedder will join forces to support Bruce Springsteen in his quest to tell the world like it really is.

CBA's avatar

Cheatloaf better be careful with these meltdowns. What a shame if he, you know, burst an aneurysm or something...

Deborah T's avatar

Cheatloaf…love it! 🤣❤️

CBA's avatar

Share and enjoy. 😜

Marycat2021's avatar

It's his biggest rage tweet in years.

Alison Parker's avatar

At the risk of enraging people, I'm not even a Springsteen fan (I recognize that he's a terrific musician and songwriter, his stuff just isn't my thing, is all) but calling him "overrated" has got to be one of the stupidest things this idiot has ever said, and that's a high bar to clear.

Ann Anderson's avatar

He called Meryl Streep overrated. That's Donald-speak for "more popular than me."

Hollie Rood's avatar

🎯Remember all he describes as overrated, worst president ever, idiot, loser, sleaze bag, sleepy, dumb and all the other middle school names he uses, is just projection on his part.

Lisa K. Obrien's avatar

He perceives them as a threat.

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

Exactly Hollie, he’s speaking about himself with every utterance!!

CBA's avatar

I've scraped stuff off my shoe that's more popular than him.

Linda McCaughey's avatar

Good one! And absolutely spot-on.

Kathy H's avatar

Yes...he uses that term a lot, along with terrible, lunatic, loser...& you're right, almost anyone is more popular than him. There are very few people he will say anything good about, & that's only while he thinks it reflects well on him. Who the hell would put any value on that POS's opinion?!

Dave Drell's avatar

Bruce us “overrated” but Kid rock is “great”. His taste in music, and everything actually, is sub human

William Styczinski's avatar

Nothing to do with his "taste in music." Kid Rock kisses Trumps rump. Bruce does not. The rotten mango wants fawning admiration for his failure of a presidency. Not someone pointing out he is a failure.

Maggie&Lefty's avatar

The thing with trump is he’s used up his store of verbal cuts. I’m sure “overrated” has been used more times than I can take. Sad.

bruce klassen's avatar

But Maggie, he said that it was a wooord he just came up with. He couldn't be lying...could he?

arne link's avatar

Yes, like "groceries". He is circling the drain, mentally.

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

5th grade education, an IQ in the mid seventies explains a lot M&L

bruce klassen's avatar

When you are as low as Stump, everyone is overrated, even Bill Cosby.

Uncle pooch's avatar

I think the word you’re looking for is “Chump”

Ellis Weiner's avatar

He harps on "overrated" for the same reason he constantly cites someone's ratings: the only true success he's ever had was with The Apprentice, where he had good ratings. His real estate "empire" was built on credit, bullshit, and Daddy's money. His product endorsements all crashed and burned. It's only when he played a highly-curated, cartoon version of himself, that he had a real "win." So he'll cite "ratings" whenever he can.

Bob Bowden's avatar

As critiques go, “overrated” is overrated

Sabine Nolke's avatar

He called multiple Oscar-winner (and double-digit nominee) Meryl Streep “overrated” as well. But I guess if your standards of excellence are Kid Rock and Kevin Sorbo all assessments go out the window…

Dr J's Sanity Space's avatar

Add that he called Taytay not HOT! His bottomless need to be better than everyone else overrides any rational thought of alienating the fans of both the boss and Taylor Swift

Kay-El's avatar

No rage, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. :D

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

I’ve photographed the East Street Band live a few times, Bruce was never a favorite... Clarence was very cool though! I’ve grown to admire him over the years, perhaps you could too Alison!!

Theresa Breach's avatar

My husband was at Bruce’s concert in Manchester - he has never seen an audience so engaged - they were singing every word of every song. He does not think anyone in the audience will be suing!

Richard Von Busack's avatar

Which is a pity, as Mr Jeff noted, because those wigs are great and those baristers or solicitors or what have you get to say things like "M'lord, may it please the court" and who knows, maybe Rumpole of the Bailey would make some great faces as he watched a pale English lad weeping over the bait and switch--"They never told me he'd talk about POLITICS! BAWWW!"

Ellis Weiner's avatar

Isn't it true that, in Britain, if you sue and lose, you have to pay the defendant's legal bills?

Theresa Breach's avatar

Yep ! All costs such as court fees, witness expenses , experts fees etc ..

so most people don’t do it

Sharon Senkiew's avatar

That’s also true in NYS but you have to ask the Court by way of a proposed Judgment and Bill of Costs.

Theresa Breach's avatar

😂 Brilliant

BTW those wigs are made from Horsehair which must be itchy as hell

Denise Donaldson's avatar

Happens at many, if not all, Springsteen concerts. Saw him shortly after 9/11, when his new album had just come out, and even then, everybody knew all the words and sang along. He said he was impressed! ; )

Richard Von Busack's avatar

And if you scratch the judge yells at you

Laura Lund's avatar

If the felon thinks it’s ‘standard fare’ to keep your mouth shut until you get back to the USA, perhaps he should share that insight with his VP so that JD will stop lecturing the leaders of other countries (when he’s on their turf!) about how they are limiting free speech because they have zero tolerance for 21st century nazi shit...

Linda Fulcher's avatar

Will they try to arrest Springsteen when he returns to the US? Trump issued an implicit threat.

arne link's avatar

I wish they would. Bruce has a pretty big fan base...

Lynn Van Haren's avatar

Maybe that’s what it will take to rouse Americans to protest

Linda Fulcher's avatar

Maybe. But I'm starting to think that too many people in this benighted country don't understand what's happening and don't give a damn as long as they can play video games and fart around on their phones.

George in Atlanta's avatar

They understand just fine. It's not that they don't care, it's that they actively want everything burned down. Trump won the popular vote, they all want to enjoy all the pain and abuse headed their way. Just to feel something.

Irascible Ink's avatar

Or, they're like my father who doesn’t give a shit about anything that doesn't personally and directly affect him. This is the guy always asking me "what do you care what happens here, you live in Canada". 🤦‍♀️

HI2thDoc's avatar

Yeah, remember when Ronnie Raygun used Born in the USA at his rallies and Bruce had to tell ‘em to stop? Conservative shallowness precludes actually paying attention to lyrics. Donold Draft Dodger played Fortunate Son at his rally in 2020.

arne link's avatar

He also loves the gay anthem "YMCA". Too funny.

HI2thDoc's avatar

While he does his spasmodic jerk off dance. 🤮

Douglas Paul Truhlar's avatar

I remember so well what was his final official rally b4 election, 45mins of him doing that thing that is never to be called dancing. I know his advisors told him to shut the fuck up for once to stop the damage and he did the unbelievable jerk off as the crowd left the venue. Nice segue dopey.

Denise Donaldson's avatar

Was just thinking that about Ronnie. I know the Rs can't ALL be that stupid, but they sure give a great impression of it.

displacedCTYankee's avatar

What I remember is Reagan's mispronunciation of The Boss's last name (STEIN instead of STEEN).

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

Yep, Bush wanted to use “Little pink houses, and Mellencamp said it’s not a song praising the USA.

HI2thDoc's avatar

Read or listen to the damned lyrics, rethuglicans:

“ There’s a Black man with a black cat living in a black neighborhood. He’s got an interstate runnin’ through his front yard, you know he thinks he’s got it so good…”

“Cuz the simple man baby pays the bills, the thrills, the pills that kill…”

Mingo's avatar

No way Donnie Two Dolls wrote that bleat about the Boss. Had to have been his Bond villain lookalike sidekick, Steven Cheung. Donnie couldn't spell atrophy, it's not in his limited vocabulary. The only atrophy going on with him is his brain.

Lisa's avatar

I often wonder if the rants are actually posted by Donnie the Dotard. He’s verbally challenged and it’s unlikely that the word “atrophy” is in his vocabulary. Listening to him wax poetic about “groceries” is pretty telling about his mental acuity.

meryl selig's avatar

Groceries!! Cannot fathom the sheer beauty of that “old” word. Now let me ponder the beautiful big meaning of the word

Linda Fulcher's avatar

If not Cheung, then Nazi Miller, the reincarnation of Heydrich.

Mingo's avatar

Or his former golf gofer Dan Scavino. He's still on the taxpayer payroll.

T L Mills's avatar

It does sound rather like Cheung--who is just as nasty and foul-mouthed as 47.

meryl selig's avatar

Great catch by who is ghostwriting rage tweets. No way that “atrophy” in part of speech came from CheetoBrain.

Sabine Nolke's avatar

I think this may actually be the beginning of a genuine resistance movement - those have always done well with an anthem ( remember “we shall overcome”?) A rewrite of the lyrics to “Born in the USA” may be just what the doctor ordered for an ailing society.

David Selditz's avatar

Born In The USA. As for you maga shitheels, whaddaya gonna do this leftie?

US Marine Corps, RVN

bruce klassen's avatar

That's the way, David! I for one am proud of you. My sin.

David Selditz's avatar

Bruce, I'm usually circumspect and not terribly vulgar or profane but I hit critical mass over the last week's news. I'll behave with a little more equanimity toward the next bag of fuckery,

HI2thDoc's avatar

As per usual, MAGA shows their knee jerk stupidity. Props to The Boss for taking an actual stand rather than worrying about money. Wise up, Tiger Woods, ya jagoff

Mark Slattery's avatar

To be fair to trump, he immediately loses several pounds following his daily diaper change.

Tess's avatar

I’ve been waiting for your one of a kind run on sentence!

“our current president is in fact a penny-ante fascist tyrant hell-bent on burning to the ground the America that We the People hold dear — and bravo to Bruce for refusing to stay silent.”

Discreet Music's avatar

Saw a picture of him getting hosed off a few years ago. Maybe it was photoshopped but if not, he's hung like a cashew. Probably 20 years since he's had a stiffy.

arne link's avatar

A cashew? OMG! I'm dying.

Discreet Music's avatar

I was going to write “a light switch.” Cashew is better.

displacedCTYankee's avatar

Your comment is a perfect example of needing a NAME on first reference, which I shall continue to preach until I am dead.

Discreet Music's avatar

Do preach away. I do technical writing and I’ve taken to ever shorter paragraphs and ever more bullet lists.

But in context, I think “him” is forgivable.

Phil Burns's avatar

And 5 minutes later he repeats it.

eliza james's avatar

The only thing worse than Trump are the people that defend him. Mind boggling.

bruce klassen's avatar

Marguerite Foster's avatar

I'm hoping he shuffles off to Hell.

Dabney Lawless's avatar

“But, but free speech and we hate cancel culture - those woke bastards!” 🫠 the daily hypocrisy and inability to self reflect on the moving target of standing for nothing other than devotion of a cult and self serving whims is truly maddening to anyone with the slightest critical thinking skills. Keep up the great work Jeff - it helps us out here know we are not alone in witnessing the madness.

Major Kong's avatar

For 4 years we had to put up with "Let’s Go Brandon." There were stores that sold only Brandon themed shit. But let someone criticize Dear Leader. .

Charles Austin's avatar

Donnie Two Dolls is out of his league when he comes for The Boss. Bruce Springsteen sounds like Churchill 2.0.

OMG,where do I start? This bag of wind
