1. Said this yesterday about Vance’s shitty comment but bears repeating:

My mom, who was of that generation, was totally accepting of a trans family member. Guess that answers Vance’s question.

2. Since when do batteries cause electrocution? Would someone please give Trump a hairdryer to take into the bathtub? That might explain the difference to him.

PJ Schuster's avatar

I love that idea!! Once the bathtub is filled, hand him the blow dryer & then yell “Donald!! A shark is coming”

Supposedly he’s terrified of sharks

Allan Voorhis's avatar

Battery. Shark. Whichever gets the job done most efficiently.

Nancy Potter's avatar

Whoa, wait. Didn't he say a couple of months ago that once a battery gets wet, it's dead? So how can it electrocute him if the water deactivated it? Why am I asking questions as if Trump's brain hasn't glitched a thousand time between that statement and this weekend?

steve robertshaw's avatar

Back then he thought magnets were inactivated if they got wet. Now he thinks a DC battery will electrocute you if submerged. He just keeps 'em comin'!

RV maxima's avatar

Hey, he is a genius by proxy to an uncle that taught at .MIT, don't you know!

Go figure.

steve robertshaw's avatar

Taught him the word "nuclear" and everything! He can almost spell it!

This is what happens when what is left of one’s brain is a neuron connected by 2 spirochetes.

Mindi H's avatar

What’s quicker?😊😊😊😊

Linda Weide's avatar

What I cannot get over is as Trump is saying he prefers electrocution to the shark, some guy behind him is nodding in agreement and looking over at a friend who is nodding in agreement too. Are they even having anything between their ears. Or picturing the chances of surviving electrocution in the water, over a shark attack.

Mindi H's avatar

And rise from the dead 3 days later! Put it to the test.

Barbara B's avatar

but that might cause him to jump out of the tub. we might not want to be there

Cynthia Turner's avatar

Trump needs to go back to 1st and second grade. He also needs to learn about run on sentences.

M.T. Kelly's avatar

He was throwing rocks at the other kids.

RV maxima's avatar

Part of what got his ass shipped to military school.

That's no lady!'s avatar

He was a mean little shit, by all accounts. He still is.

SPW's avatar

How about learning about run-on, nonsensical paragraphs? He’s a perfect example of a wasted mind.

Doc Blase''s avatar

Learning about? He INVENTED them! Along with electricity and boats. Nobody even knew about sharks until he brought them up. The best sharks.

Carolyn O'Daly's avatar

Can't waste something you never had...

Victoria Wilson's avatar

He needs to NOT be anywhere near the nuclear codes!

Barbara B's avatar

he’s completely mastered run-on sentences and run-on lies.

Bill Lawrence's avatar

I'm sure he did, but he probably wasn't paying attention. Same at Whaton. How do you graduate from Wharton and still be an economic illiterate?

counterlife's avatar

He didn't graduate from the Wharton School of Business - he took a few classes there (maybe?) while "earning" a degree at University of Pennsylvania. As for grade school, I think that was the time when he hit a music teacher (a woman, of course), in the face. He was born a stupid sociopath.

Lynn Van Haren's avatar

And his parents sent him to military school after that. Hence, the I know more than the Generals…

counterlife's avatar

Military school for someone his age is otherwise known as "reform school" for the sociopathic children of wealth.

Sheila D's avatar

No, he went to NY Military Academy for high school--it a high school you send your kid to when you are rich and you don't know how to handle the juvenile delinquent!

Charles Austin's avatar

It's called the Fred Trump endowment.

Cat Cafe's avatar

He did not graduate from Wharton (the School of Business). He never was admitted to the Wharton School of Business. He went to Fordham, then transferred to U. Penn, where he studied the hotel business or something like that; the undergraduate division that offers those courses is called "Wharton College" (like, for example at Cal Berkeley, there's a "College of Engineering," a "College of Letters and Science" and so forth). All undergraduate. And I am literally certain that he paid other students to do his work & take his tests. I believe one of his former professors was quoted as saying he was "the stupidest student he had ever had." So of course, his endless claim that he "went to Wharton" is like me claiming I have a degree from Harvard because I once walked through Harvard Yard.

Patricia Williamson's avatar

His niece said that his sister Mary did all of his homework for him.

Bill Lawrence's avatar

I remember that quote. Trump has llved up to that judgment.

Marguerite Foster's avatar

I think I read an article about this a couple years ago. The bottom line was his daddy paid for his degree, I was not surprised. He truly is stupid; and, as we all know, stupidity cannot be fixed.

Carolyn O'Daly's avatar

No, but you can recognize it by its hat...

Stephen Brady's avatar

One of his Professors at U PENN called him the dumbest student he ever had.

steve robertshaw's avatar

Pay people to take all your tests for you.

Donatella  Dillon's avatar

By someone paying for his degree?

Sheila D's avatar

He got an undergraduate degree from Wharton, not an MBA. One of his professors there said he was the dumbest student he'd ever had in his entire teaching career! Fred, Sr. bought him his degree!

Cynthia Turner's avatar

I'm sure they had to pay extra tuition to take him.

steve robertshaw's avatar

That stable genius who can say the letters M, I and T in their proper sequence (to prove he's a stable genius) might want to learn the difference between the letters AC and DC. Electrocution! Jesus......

Lynn Van Haren's avatar

His MAGA supporters don’t know the difference either

Cynthia Verdell's avatar

But does he know what the letters stand for? He never went to MIT and just because an uncle did doesn’t make him smart, he’s as dumb as that rag on his head . I wonder if he goes to jail, will they allow him to keep his hair ?

Susie in OH's avatar

Ooh, he needs a buzz !

Discreet Music's avatar

Direct current can electrocute.

steve robertshaw's avatar

Battery voltage not nearly high enough to disperse significant current into a body of water.

Discreet Music's avatar

It’s amperage that matters, not voltage

steve robertshaw's avatar

Of course. Voltage is the potential energy that can be generated, current is the actual "flow" of that energy, and the amount of current depends on the voltage and the system resistance (Ohm's law). For a current (amperage) high enough to interfere with the electrical conduction of a heart, the voltage has to be significant because the resistance in our skin is quite high. It's lower when wet, but then you have to consider the resistance of each millimeter of water between a still functioning battery and the object. Bottom line : trump is talking about batteries. This scenario is absurd.

Discreet Music's avatar

It’s jaw-dropping absurd

Discreet Music's avatar

My father was repair officer on a sub-tender. I saw 1.5 v batteries as big as oil drums. They were extremely dangerous

Teri's avatar

🏆 Your idea deserves an award!! Um, is it ok if someone puts a shark in the tub at the same time as his tiny hands grab the hairdryer?

Mindi H's avatar

And boats with the heaviest fu$king diesel engines aren’t sinking. Boats are known for taking on huge weight and not sinking? Is he on drugs? Sounds really serious. The heat might get him.

Barbara B's avatar

in some circles “boat” means “submarine” or, i suppose, small craft. Large surface vessels are “ships”

Lou Rinaldi's avatar

The only problem with this scenario, trump doesn’t take baths or showers, evidently… based on people in proximity to him who have been overcome by his stink. Trump reeks.

Kay-El's avatar

Yes, he wears a special cologne: Eau de Repel

Barbara B's avatar

btw, popular science project these days is making a battery using a potato (https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project-ideas/Energy_p010/energy-power/potato-battery)

Tell him he needs to be careful of fries lest they conspire to electrocute him.

Kay-El's avatar

That’s hilarious

Susan P Thatcher's avatar

The idea that is is Trump in one of his more lucid mom we nts...

SeekingReason's avatar

I’ll deliver the hair dryer to him!

Kay-El's avatar

Make it the highest wattage possible!

Discreet Music's avatar

If connected well enough, any battery larger than your fist can stop your heart.

meryl selig's avatar

What kind of boat has he been on?? Batteries that sink. Deep batteries. Batteries that electrocute people.

I was amazed that he somehow “knew” that water conducts electricity… no no no. I think I am attributing his “knowing” this to his having real info. It was random that this made sense. One phrase, a few words, out of his outpouring of pre-compost verbal spewage

Cassandra Here's avatar

SF airport and United (if that’s what you flew) is a blackhole of suckiness. I could regale you about flights from SFO to Reno (last leg of many flights home) cancelled or delayed, as we wait hour-by-hour to see if we are flying home. Easier to just rent a car and drive over the Sierra, while luggage goes on its merry way to somewhere sometime. A cancelled flight out of SFO meant that my husband missed his conference in Germany where he was scheduled to speak. So he cancelled the rest of his flight and tried to book a flight home. Yeah? That’ll be $495 for a 60-minute flight. Arguments ensued.

Runfastandwin's avatar

I just book 'em then have Ciitibank whack it. 9 times out of 10 United doesn't even respond.

Charles Austin's avatar

If that happened to me, an ass whipping would ensue.

Sounds as fun as Dallas Ft Worth to MSP....worse if you started in Florida ( yearly corporate meeting & European leadership loved Florida). Yep, happily retired.

Wait.. I need my Tiedrich fix every single day.. if I have to see that MangoMussolini every single damn day on every single news feed then I need Jeff’s writing to keep me sane.. cause I’ll end up in jail for assault and battery of some F’d up MAGAt Moron..

You absolutely should do that on the regular. We will survive.

Hopefully at the end of November after Biden wins and the dust settles. You deserve a nice long vacation!

Susan Niemann's avatar

Ahhh… love you Jeff! We’ve all been conditioned to look for you before noon. You’ll need a day to rest up. We will need your take on The Alito recording … it sounds like a scandal in the making. See The Dworkin Report. 🤦‍♀️

Victoria Wilson's avatar

Yes. The Dworkin Report today was a bombshell. I am thankful to Lauren Windsor and her spot-on voice.

Rest up. We can wait. Travel is increasingly difficult, and reading the crap you do for us sucks energy. So rest, rest, read something funny.

Take a day off!!! We can read back issues!!!!!!!!!

SPW's avatar

Your luggage wound up in my home state. Coulda been worse. Coulda been Florida.

Nancy Potter's avatar

Aren't you supposed to blame flight delays and lost luggage on Biden? MAGAs blame every other first world problem on Joe. We never had flight cancellations and lost luggage when Trump was in charge.

Please DO take a day off Jeff, or a week! You need your rest, because we literally cannot survive without you and what you do. But just give us a warning before you do, please. I was getting worried by 12:30 today, lol

arne link's avatar

Yes, me too. Jeff is like family now.

Suessl's avatar

You did take a day off. Trying to fly from San Francisco to New York.

Same.. and now I feel selfish. If I had known Jeff and Ms. Spouse were going through travel hell, I’d have been sending positive vibes instead of getting all giddy about today’s post.

Elaine the Mean Old Feminist's avatar

I must confess to getting them mixed up. I love them both. 💘

Richard Von Busack's avatar

One is the Looney Toons' worst villain, unfettered by time and space, appearing everywhere from Ancient Rome to Arabia to the Old West. The other, Foghorn, is a wrathful six foot tall rooster based on a since-forgotten southern senator character on the Fred Allen radio show, name of Senator Claghorn--even stealing his tagline, "That's a joke, son!" Foghorn is considered a sort of saint by those pestered by their neighbors' yapping dogs. He not only beats the dog, he sings a calypso song about beating the dog on the way to beat the dog.

Richard Von Busack's avatar

No actual dogs were harmed. I know we've got a lot of dog-mommies and daddies here. My household believes cats have mommies and are allowed to want them.

Charles Austin's avatar

It must be National Talk Like a Pirate Day. Aaargh, maties!!

arne link's avatar

I know. I was concerned. We can't lose Jeff at this critical juncture.

Betsy's avatar

I've got a $50 bet with a MAGA friend that Trump won't show for the debate. I hope I lose but I doubt I will.

Steve Kelly's avatar

I would consider "MAGA friend" to be an oxymoron.

Betsy's avatar

It's hard, but there are two or three that I love for other reasons and they're not disrespectful assholes they've just been indoctrinated into a cult

Mary Hall's avatar

My supposed BFF of 36 years unceremoniously dumped me because I'm not a MAGAt. It's okay because I actually prefer my friends who aren't fascists.

Bill Lawrence's avatar

My wife ran into a MAGA family when both their cars were stuck on a highway owing to a truck mishap. No one talked politics, and my wife said they were nice and helpful to another motorist who was having a problem. So I have to believe that the ones who aren't armed thugs are perfectly ordinary people who don't know very much and have, as someone just said, become indoctrinated into a cult.

Nancy Potter's avatar

I think the Trump word salads put them in a trance for the duration of that day. The effect is wearing off, though, as seen by the footage lately of people leaving all the venues mid-speech.

Diana Hembree's avatar

Yes, thank you. I see a fair amount of talk about "trailer trash" MAGA (kind of classist btw), but I can say with certainty that a lot of the support for Trump in the South is from the rich white suburbs where people are unfortunately watching Fox News all day and are scared about everything.

Gayna's avatar

We’re you all the same color? That’s the real test. They’re nice because you’re their color.

Diana Hembree's avatar

I love all my family even if some are pro-MAGA and am cheered because very few are still planning to vote for Trump.

Rick Calegari's avatar

As he continues to slip further into cognitive decline, his loyal servants may tell him to sit this one out. His regular intake of Adderall and other meds might not be enough to cover up his the lights are out but nobody's home horseshit gibberish. My mom who succumbed from the terrible affects of dementia had her difficult moments but she was never a 1000 light years from home like he's heading for.

Lynn Van Haren's avatar

She also wasn’t running for the most powerful job in the world

PJ Schuster's avatar

It’s such a horrible thing. My only living sister is MAGA & at one time believed all the conspiracy theories, she probably still does. We don’t talk very often anymore because it’s too easy for it to devolve into an argument.

Donatella  Dillon's avatar

I admire you, I really do, no joke, I let go of couple of friends because they support trump and maga, I am not perfect by any means but darn it I’ve got better ethics… how do you do it? Serious question

Betsy's avatar

Oh, I lost a LOT of "friends" that way, the ones who are obnoxious, insulting, or post horrible racists things online, etc. which is most of them. But I do have a few I can count on one hand who aren't like that (at least not around me) and who have a lot of other good qualities and many years of friendship.

Gayna's avatar

But they support a person who is a rapist. That’s a deal breaker for me for every single one ☝️ f them.

Stephen Brady's avatar

I really hope he does - he is not going to look anything but pathetic, but I will bet his handlers cancel for him and make him think Joe didn't show!

Darrell Smith's avatar

The RNC advertised on Craigslist for people to attend the "rally" in Vegas. They were to wear a T-shirt and carry a sign. A bonus of $50 was promised if they ended up on TV.

At the "rally" Trump allegedly told the crowd "I don't care about you. All I want is your vote". He does tell the truth sometimes, by accident.

The GOP has sunk below the surface and even the sharks don't want them. Trump is not any advertisement for growing old gracefully. Spontaneous Human Combustion is too simple a fate for him.

Dave Drell's avatar

Lord have mercy! Donny Fuckface told the truth - his first time in a hundred moons! “I don’t care about you- I just want your votes!”. Well ain’t that the utter truth, you narcissistic whore.

Dems- there is your new campaign theme- plaster it on your Tv ads with his wind blown hair.

PJ Schuster's avatar

Biden’s campaign would be crazy not to use that “Truth” 😂

Eileen's avatar

Narcissistic whore. Finally the last word on Trump. He’s a whore. Everything is for sale so he can gaze at the money and how it bolsters his ego. A crazy, narcissistic whore. What could go wrong?

Vickie Berry's avatar

They did not identify the rally purpose in the ad. Only the location.

Vickie Berry's avatar

Makes you wonder under what section of Craigslist they put it in. 🙃

The Crazy Cat Lady Writes's avatar

It's always been that way. But if you know where Orange Turd will be, it's pretty obvious.

BIG NEWS

earlier in the Las Vegas rally Trump said something true!!!

(after advising people to ask for help if they got into distress because of the heat, he said:

“Because i don’t want anyone going on me, we need every voter. i don’t care about you, i just want your vote. I don’t care,”

apparently this is already out in a Biden ad.

i quote from the Hill article “Biden campaign seizes on Trump’s ‘i don’t care about you’ line” by alex gangitano. 6/10/24

Vickie Berry's avatar

Six people were hospitalized during the rally due to the heat…now tell me he gives a shit about his supporters. 😏

Susie in OH's avatar

50 people had to be rescued for heat related problems. But Trump tells them “I don’t care. I just want your vote.”

Barbara B's avatar

I wonder how many WWll veterans Vance has talked to? I’ll bet I have talked to one more than he has. I have one right here in my house. He is my husband. LGBTQIA+ ? He’s fine with that. Women’s rights? All for them, but he wants more men to support them.

Jayme Wolworth's avatar

So sorry about the travel hell you and the missus have been through! Good grief.

Trump continues to expound on the "battery underwater will electrocute me" story and it's a beauty. I'm wondering if his aides have informed him that's not how it works and he just doesn't listen or if they are afraid to tell him he's full of shit.

Standing in the 105 degree heat babbling for hours must have melted his terminals.

I sooooo hope that the debates happen and more people than the die hards and paid actors that go to his rallies will see how far gone he is. Highly edited interviews with his handlers around are not the Trump we see at these lovefests.

Also, the fact that he gets to "phone in" his pre-sentencing interview is another example of our two-tiered justice system, I'd bet the other felons in New York don't get this privelege.
