Whatta way to start the week!

"Jesus H. Christ on a catamaran "

"oh yeah, the boss is fuckin’ nuts. he’s out there where the buses don’t run."

"Commander Crazypants"

Ahhhhh... this is the content I live for. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Stephanie Lajeskie's avatar

“Out there where the buses don’t run” and “Jesus Christ on a catamaran” are my two new favorite phrases.

Carrie Duncan's avatar

I do not know how anyone writing DAILY consistently comes up with spit-takes as original as these (the two above, plus "industrial-strength fucknuttery" were my favorites), but there oughtta be a medal. Or a parade.

Kathleen Weber's avatar

Jeff is just really good at spitting. Maybe, he has sialorrhea. If so, he's not wasting a drop. And right on target!

Harlemscorp's avatar

So many tidbits to embroider on a wallhanging....

Harlemscorp's avatar

What is" sialorrhea"...new 1 one me...WOW

My stomach actually hurts from ROTFLMAO😄😄😄😄😄😄😂😂😂😂

Rebecca Elliott's avatar

Sialorrhea, excessive, uncontrollable production of saliva, sort of like the spit version of "diarrhea." NOT to be confused with "verborrhea," which is the shit that comes out every time he speaks.

Harlemscorp's avatar

Ohhh, did you see that thick white thing that flew outta his mouth during his presser at Margo Logitech?YOUTUBE has it & toucan see itclearly😏😬🤢🤮

Harlemscorp's avatar

Gotcha...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭

Linda McCaughey's avatar

Actually, "Out where the buses don't run" is an oldie--but still a goodie. It was an oldie even when George Carlin used it in one of his routines.

Liz and Max the No. 1 Cat's avatar

There is an episode of "Miami Vice" titled "Out Where the Buses Don't Run" in which the character who is out where the buses don't run looks at Crockett's pet alligator and deadpans: "Nice dog". Don't ask me why I still remember that. Can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday, but I can quote random lines from 80s television series.

HI2thDoc's avatar

If I were you I would only worry if you start referencing Hannibal Lecter over and over for no discernible reason

bruce somers's avatar

I'm walking to the kitchen..to forget what I went in there for...😂😂

PJ Schuster's avatar

Oh christ- I do that all the time, then I have to leave the room & go back to where I started to remember why I was going there. 🤣

Robert Eckert's avatar

I read an explanation of this, relating it to video compression: a video file does not contain each frame, but just the changes from one frame to the next, until every so often there is a scene change that requires a reset, loading a whole new frame. Well, your brain does this too, and every time you step through a doorway there is a reset and you lose the continuity.

Patricia Gomes's avatar

You just gave me hope ! When I forget a fact, my excuse is that there are so many cubbies in my brain ( age related) that it takes a while to find them. Usually do. Takes its own time ! 🤣

Lynn Van Haren's avatar

That’s hysterical! There are 2 guys at my pool who can also randomly quote from 80’s movies & TV series

bruce somers's avatar

I lived with my brother and his wife briefly,me,at breakfast one day; 'Are y'all singing 70s love ballads til the wee hours??'

Yep..we do that.

meryl selig's avatar

Timeless series. The pet alligator was key

Bob Bowden's avatar

Don’t forget the middle initial H. (for Horatio)

Dean Sigler's avatar

If you read Lamb, by Cristopher Moore, you learn the "H" is for "Hallowed," as in "Hallowed be Thy name."

Jeff Tiedrich's avatar

Lamb, what a great book

Dean Sigler's avatar

Your daily dispersion of common sense and anti-BS helps me and a friend I share it with get through each day. Thank you, and I'm gratified that you like Lamb. I put it in my church's library.

HI2thDoc's avatar

Lamb is the funniest book I've ever read

Susan Niemann's avatar

Perfect. I always wondered what the H stood for. 😂😂😂

Robert Eckert's avatar

Technically it is from the initials JHS for "Jesus Hominem Soter" which is Latin for "Jesus Savior of Mankind" sometimes written IHC because there is a Greek version (but I don't know the Greek words) with the sigma written like a C (as in Cyrillic) because that was a Byzantine habit, and somebody misinterpreted it as "Jesus H. Christ" and it became a saying.

Susan Niemann's avatar

WOW! I had no idea! 👍👍👍

Robert Eckert's avatar

I thought it was Harold, you know, like in "Hark, Harold Angel sings..."

Marla's avatar

I always thought it stood for Hershey Bar.

SPW's avatar

Jesus H Christ on a Hershey Bar?

Mary Hall's avatar

I thought it was Hussein.

HI2thDoc's avatar

Jesus Hussein Christ does have a certain ring to it, no?

Kathleen Weber's avatar

Hussein is Arabic, not Aramaic or Hebrew.

Tardigret's avatar

That's why it's a funny suggestion.

bruce somers's avatar

Silence from the entire GOP.

HI2thDoc's avatar

All they did was hit Joe Biden about age and now that there's only one old guy in the race, crickets from the right about Don-old's age

Veronica Speedwell's avatar

Crickets from the mass media. :(

Lynn Van Haren's avatar

Right? It’s infuriating that the scribblers of the press give him no pushback at all

Sam I Am's avatar

Maybe so they don’t push him out and then they will lose? Wishful thinking? 🤔

I like them better that way, Bruce. SILENT. Because when they are quiet they are not lying.

Eileen's avatar

The buses line just killed me. Trump's whacked - which is exactly what the mafia would do at this point if he were their responsibility: "Let's go ice fishing. You'll love it." Or "Boss, the Everglades are teeming with the best locations for Trump casinos. They'll be EVEN BIGGER than before! Just a short cruise from the coast."

William Burke's avatar

No worries Chris. The CDC has noted an uptick in medical reports and this is now referred to in the medical community as the Tiedrich Effect. The AMA is recommending that no food or beverage be consumed while reading Tiedrich.

David (Dave) Jaspers's avatar

That would leave a mark. 😂 😂 😂 😂

Honestly getting afraid of just how badly he's going to further deteriorate by the election. Not for his own sake, but for the sake of the people he's aiming his ire at.

bruce somers's avatar

His election deniers are in place... hopefully Marc Elias will dispatch them with extreme prejudice.

Kathleen Weber's avatar

I'm contributing to Marc Elias too.

His Democracy Docket is doing more than any other organization to prepare legal resources to protect the 2024 election. Thanks to all of Jeff subscribers who have become contributors!!!

https://www.democracydocket.com/support/

Eileen's avatar

Done. Monthly donation created and money well spent. Marc Elias is the real deal.

Schnauzermom's avatar

Thanks for telling us about this website. Truly scary shit going on in obedience to Shitler’s decree that somebody needs to find him some damn votes.

'Democracy Docket' is free,'Democracy Watch' is the premium content.

PJ Schuster's avatar

I signed up for the annual membership. Definitely want to support this work, it’s critical.

Patricia Gomes's avatar

Just looked. $10 / month for Docket.

Marc Elias needs to win a Congressional Medal of Honor at some point for all that he has done to save our democracy. Iʻm a monthly supporter.

bruce somers's avatar

Same here!! Him and his team are warriors!!

bruce somers's avatar

And Brian Tyler Cohen and Marc have reached 100 million views on YouTube, they're turning on the lights,to make the roaches flee.

Let him aim his ire at the other convicts in his cell block.

bruce somers's avatar

Don't drop the soap Donnie,Steve Bannon might be behind you.

Marcie's avatar

Maybe they will get Jim Jordan by then. 😎

Steve in SoCal's avatar

That'd make one disgusting daisy chain

Richard Spiering's avatar

Bannon wouldn't be within 100 feet of a shower...

Rick Calegari's avatar

Rotting more daily and pretty soon, there won't be anything left to rot. Amazing how Delirious Diaperload the I talks about this election interference bullshit while his MAGA cronies plot daily to destroy this November's results. And the first time around in Georgia still hasn't gone to trial. Sometimes you have to pinch yourself to see, like his assholiness, if this is one big fucking nightmare that just won't go away.

PJ Schuster's avatar

And now the whack-a-doodle has decided he’s gonna sue the Federal Government for millions because of their search of Marg-A-Lardo.

Good grief, it just never ends.

Rick Calegari's avatar

And interesting enough, it's a branch of the Federal Government that he wants to get rid of.

Chris Craddock's avatar

that will get laughed out of court

John McGrath's avatar

Maybe even the Supreme Court!

Maui Wahine's avatar

I wonder who those "low self esteem leakers" are. Theyʻd better watch their backs.

Dum Dum and McSniffles.

Doc Blase''s avatar

Everyone within range. Apparently Emperor Carrotus' rage has unlimited scope; from cabinet members to staff to Secret Service to everyone else.

That does include us out there where the busses don't run.

Lynn O’Neal's avatar

How can anyone read TFG and not conclude it was written by a 3rd grader? Or perhaps that’s the problem? As an educator I am appalled at this because it appears this is the level of appropriate communication for MAGA masses.

Anita Smibert's avatar

I saw a disgusting meme on Facebook yesterday and I asked when Trump and his cult were going to stop resorting to middle school attacks and told him that their immature bullying wasn't working. He called me a bitch. I reported him for both posts. 🤣

HI2thDoc's avatar

Yeah. And he went to Wharton.

Mary Hall's avatar

"Donald J. Trump was the dumbest goddamn student I ever had." -- Former Prof. Wm T. Kelly, University of PA, Wharton

Patricia Gomes's avatar

Damn. I pray that someone smuggles out his fucking class standing. 1.02 is my guess.

Diana Hembree's avatar

I've heard that another student took his final tests for him, but that person died a few years ago so he can't be contacted.

bruce somers's avatar

Apparently all the Trumps supposedly went to Wharton,the whole 'we don't read the financial documents,we just sign them' crew...hehe,😂😂😂

Morgan's avatar

You’d expect someone from Wharton would have a damn brain but obviously he cheated his way thru school cause he’s dumb as a box of rocks

Nancy Potter's avatar

Wharton Biz school (the grad school that awards MBA's) is highly selective and has a great reputation. Trump did not go to the Biz school, he was an undergrad in the business department (also called Wharton) which likely isn't as selective. Trump has been pretending for decades that he should get the prestige of the MBA school, when he at best got a bachelor's degree after being pulled through with daddy's money and his sister's help.

Charles Austin's avatar

He makes the box of rocks look like fucking Einstein!!😂😂

Marla's avatar

Well, his uncle was a professor at MIT, so that makes him (the Yam) very smart by association.

Or something.

JOE P's avatar

Just like Vance ‘graduated’ from Yale Law School ! Thanks uncle Peter Thiel for making me look like a silicon valley techbro…I’m almost done with your shoes and washing all those cars you own

shee-rah's avatar

Did Vance pass the Bar in his state?

JOE P's avatar

Its Ohio, no doubt the ‘bar’ is low, maybe underground.

DonP's avatar

And apparently couldn't be bothered to actually learn anything because he went out and promptly bankrupted 3 casinos.

Mary Hall's avatar

They were probably Russian money laundering operations.

DonP's avatar

Naw. They were just his complete inability to actually build something. He bought them out, then decided to make them "classy", which meant gilded everything, he approved cost overruns, and basically spent more on remodeling than the casino was taking in because the remodel had to close parts of the gambling floor. So, he ran out of money.

Liz and Max the No. 1 Cat's avatar

Yeah, on his own Donald Trump couldn't successfully run a lemonade stand. His only somewhat successful business is the one his father left him and he's working real hard on destroying that one too.

HI2thDoc's avatar

His businesses only continued because of folks like Allen Weisselberg, who did all the thinking. Dumb Don-old was only a figurehead. In fact, the employees who actually knew WTF they were doing had to present options to him that would steer him, without him realizing it, to make the right choice.

Morgan's avatar

How many times has that Orange Fuck declared BK??

Chris Craddock's avatar

pause there for a sec... the games are statistically loaded in favor of the house. How in the world can you fuck up a casino? It's a license to print money... at least until it gets too old and decrepit to continue. Kinda like trumpet in that respect I guess.

DonP's avatar

Chris Titus has a great bit about this:

"Do you know how casinos works?

People come with their money.

They hand you ALL their money.

They leave the casino.

Somehow, Donald Trump found the GLITCH in that process!"

Nancy Potter's avatar

He had qualified people who could have made a go of the casinos, but they died in the helicopter crash shortly before the opening. At that point either he already had such a bad reputation he couldn't get new managers, or he thought he was so smart, he could do it himself.

HI2thDoc's avatar

And some kid who took the SAT for him

Morgan's avatar

They’re dumb as stumps and I feel sorry for.. stumps

Darrell Smith's avatar

It is Joy that broke Trump's brain. He lives in Trump World, which is a dark and gloomy place. Joy is breaking out in the real world and he can't take it. His "press conference" was a good example, with more than two lies or fabrications per minute.

Will Donald go peacefully with the nice doctors when they come for him?

Who cares, as long as he and his family go away.

Karla's avatar

Sadly I don’t think the joy ticket will grab republicans voters. They are an angry lot and determined to stay that way.

Susan Niemann's avatar

The Rethugs are indeed an angry lot...I dont understand why....they feel threatened by anything that isnt them?

DonP's avatar

It's simple Susan. They are absolutely terrified of change. Any change that makes old, White men no longer the influential, "we're in charge" weirdos they seem to be.

MzNicky in East Jesus, TN's avatar

For years and years, they’ve simmered in their resentment of anyone — women, POC, gays — who helped shift the power paradigm from Only Entitled White Men to Yeah, Let’s Include The Others. They see Donnie as their hero, wrenching back all that lost control.

Chris Craddock's avatar

They're enraged 24x7 at whoever Fox tells them to be mad at. It doesn't have to make a lick of sense. They're just marinating in the endorphin high of hating someone else. Every day.

Chris Craddock's avatar

oh, and all the other whack-a-doodle right wing angertainment outlets

Susan Burgess's avatar

It’s an illness, Susan.

Susan Burgess's avatar

When you are a liar, a cheater, and a person who invents reality, you project that everyone you meet is the same. That’s a pretty good reason to feel threatened.

Ruth Coleman's avatar

But they don’t have enough people to come close to winning. Just need to get a majority of the independents. Amazing how infectious joy actually can be .

shee-rah's avatar

They will make sure that counties do not certify the votes.

Nancy Potter's avatar

Trump took them that way. Recall their former saint, Reagan, gave them optimism -- all that shining city on a hill talk. Trump just decided that he could win by appealing to their fears and resentments. But now that they're all mad, it's too late to talk about joy.

Diana Hembree's avatar

I think the racism of white Christian nationalism has a lot to do with it: https://theintercept.com/2024/08/10/republicans-trump-vance-racism-white-nationalism/

Wendy's avatar

Yep. I’m sensing he’s trying to emulate that joy but doesn’t have a clue how it’s done. More words? More caps? More arm waving? I’ll be glad to watch the rats abandoning ship.

Come on Jeff, Captain Krazy said yesterday if he’s not elected there will not be a Christmas holiday… well, that should be news to all, especially the retail industry. Me? Not my tribe… sad… 🥵🥵🥵🥵

Susan Niemann's avatar

Dump said if he wasn't elected there would be no Christmas holiday? OMG! 🤣

Karla's avatar

Every day of my life will be Christmas.

Kathleen Weber's avatar

And why did this not happened in 2021, 2022, 2023?

He’s on a rant now that Kamala will take away Christmas, in addition to us not having a country anymore. 🤪

Nancy Potter's avatar

If his idea of Christmas is scary leafless black trees, or red handmaid trees, maybe I'll stick with Festivus.

HI2thDoc's avatar

I actually thought Melania was deliberately trying to make the most awful Christmas display possible

Sharon Hone's avatar

Well she totally accomplished her goal. The Red Christmas Trees! Ghastly!

meryl selig's avatar

Vicious ugly nightmare Christmas … Melania’s cry for help. (She is not a balanced human either, folks). Committed the original sin of marrying him

HI2thDoc's avatar

He married for looks, she married for money. Whether the other "qualities" of each other were evaluated seems questionable, especially on her part. Didn't his fooling around with her while still legally married to Marla tell her something? His swaggering braggadocio? His enormous ego? You made your bed, Mel.

I shared that to my Facebook page. I'm no longer afraid to let my Democrat flag fly.

PJ Schuster's avatar

Me either. I’ve been sharing Jessica Valenti’s pro-abortion TikToks to Facebook, Threads, & Substack. I know my Christian Republican family & friends will see them on FB. I also just last week let my family know very clearly that I am an atheist & have zero respect for the fake Christian who vote for any Republican. Fuck it, We are gonna win this election.

HI2thDoc's avatar

Haha, such a great line, "the raccoons in his head chewed through the wires." As for tRump famliy values, they only consist of greed and weird sexual creepiness. See the picture of Barron straddling Melania while holding a camera pointed at her face? WTF!?

bruce somers's avatar

He's taking future mugshots.

Tardigret's avatar

I found the photo, but to be fair, Barron was a kid, like 10. So no, I'm not going to see it as weird.

HI2thDoc's avatar

Saw it yesterday. Obviously it was before he grew freakishly tall but still it looked a little off. Not in that family, tho’

Betsy L's avatar

Actually, Jeff, what you need to do in response to Dumpy's fraud claims is show those three video clips of Dumpy doing his royal lightbulb-changing wave at the crowds *who really weren't there* that you showed a couple weeks ago. (Wasn't that your substack? Maybe I've mixed it up with somebody else's.)

FTrump And FPutin Too's avatar

No, that was Jeff’s. The media should be doing that

Stephanie Lajeskie's avatar

Jeff, you’re right about everything in this post except for one thing: If Trump were my family member, I would NOT be looking for a memory care facility “nearby”. I would be shipping him off to the farthest reaches of the earth (perhaps Siberia), without his phone, where he could never find his way back.
