Prayer won't fund the federal government especially since Elmo took a chainsaw to the agencies protecting the health, safety and security of the American people. As Jeff says so eloquently, they can all fuck right off!
Just for a moment imagine if....old man Biden was Prez and he golfed on day after this tragedy. The piercing screams from the right wing would shake the earth. But we have the sound of.....silence. Are the Dems AFRAID to scream????
According to Greg Palast 3.5 Billion votes were purged from the last election… at this rate controls of any election won’t require eugenics., even though it’s part of the Project 2025 plan LTBW!!
"All we know what to do is pray".....that sounds like Hakeem Jeffries after D wins election and unleashes his authoritarianism.. Hakeem and Hebrew Chuck are NOT on Dem 'team' anymore. Drumpf has compromised (threatened) them. No??
Ditto. It’s past time for the gloves to come off and go all gladiator on them. We’re not going to take our country back by pretending abnormal behaviour is normal and that Democrats are maintaining the status quo because we are above the base behaviour, illegality and unconstitutional activities of the orange foolius’ administration.
Bare knuckle, MMA, John Woo double fisted pistol beat down. I want every one of those fucks to know that if they reach for me, they are going to come away with missing fingers and a bloody stump.
By all means, take the high road, but don’t tell me that umbrella is going to keep the yellow water they insist is rain from splashing up in my face.
And not enjoying it. Between the media, Emperor Demented Donnie and Rev. Johnson, they are as useless as marzipan dildos and tits on a boar. Like Neil degrade Tyson said, "if prayers worked, we wouldn't have a need for science". If folks want to pray, that's their business but at this point in time, we need a hell of a lot more than prayers to help end this shitstorm of madness and incompetence.
No, Bill Kristol, with whom I don’t agree a lot, writes about how bad this nightmare scenario can get.. don’t read it if you expect to touchy feely piece
The corporate media not only ignores and normalizes Trump's mental sludge, they pay the RICO Racketeer millions in advance compliance bucks to back off his threatened lawsuits and FCC threats to bust their kneecaps.
Compliance from the wealthy owners of corporate media. These ultra wealthy owners just made an investment in ownership of media - they have NO loyalty to the belief of bringing actual truthful news to the people. That concept went away with Fox and Rupert Murdock.
No insistence by the government or any other entity for the media to present the facts - the ultra wealthy owners will ALWAYS bend to the President’s will. It’s how they most easily preserve their assets.
A Lesson for the Time after We The People rid ourselves of this Tyranny.
Just another gestapo and mob tactic. He's built up his enforcers with huge sums of money and now he'll have them collecting the debts he feels he's sowed
From a question about when the tariffs are going to take effect:
Mr. President, do the tariff rates change at all on July 9 or do they change on August 1?”
“They're going to be tariffs. The tariffs are going to be the tariffs. I think we'll have most countries done by July 9. Either a letter or a deal,” he said.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick then stepped in: “But they go into effect August 1. Tariffs go into effect August 1.” Lutnick added: “But the president is setting the rates and the deals right now.”
His brain is porridge, and he has to be handled at press conferences by his enablers... but Biden is old.
The mass media press loves smash mouth attack politics. The Dems are too nice to attract attention (and ad money eyeballs).
Way past time for Dem leadership to slam Trump and Miller and Vance and Johnson. And the rest of the organized crime gang.
If Nancy Pelosi’s granddaughter was killed in the flood would she get angry and go after the Trump Gang criminals? If Mark Kelly’s niece was kidnapped and thrown into a concentration camp would his messaging change?
Donald wins by non stop attacks. The Democrats must attack, attack, attack and not let up until every thug is removed from the government.
Isn't it strange that the DNC isn't organizing protests across the country? They leave it to No Kings and 50501 and Indivisible. Yet the DNC has hundreds of millions to spend on election ads for an election that may be cancelled by the Trump Mafia. The Stupids are in charge. Maybe on both sides.
Again I agree. The DNC has done a lousy job - no clear messaging, the Dave Hogg mess, their silence when they should be out there shouting. Some one suggested the lame ass media wouldn’t cover it anyway but they have to try! Ads! Social media! Hit a major ad agency and get rid of dinosaurs like Carville!
There's nothing CNN would like more than a dogfight. CBS, ABC, NBC, NYT, WAPO, LA Times have all been defanged by the Trump Mafia. Which is illegally using government power for it's own ends/fraud/money. But there's some media outlets out there that would leverage a real fight for millions in ad ratings/eyeballs.
At some point, the DNC must rise up and act like a real Opposition Party. Instead of a doormat that allows itself to be puked on by the Stupids.
It’s genius. Why pay for expensive weather scientists (meteor what??) to try and save people, when it’s so much cheaper to just pray for them after they die in a flood? And think of the massive savings for the billionaires. They need that money much more than some loser Girl Scouts need an early flood warning! Thanks Mike. Hope you get treatable cancer and the only doctor available is some MAGA praying at it. Maybe he will send you to a North Korean beach resort to recover. I hope that in four years all these bastards end up in Alligator Alcatraz.
Because nothing is ever his fault, Jeff. Wont ever be. And his followers....they fucking believe all of it. Know why? Glad you asked, here we go.
The MAGA mentality isn't just some quirky political preference you can politely disagree with at Thanksgiving dinner—it's a full-blown psychological clusterfuck that's rotting the brains of millions of Americans from the inside out.
It's difficult to analyze them. The trainer at gym I used to go to was MAGA but was against some of Taco Don's rhetoric. We had discussions, intelligent discussions, and he agreed with facts I showed about different ideas. Also his parents, Mexican parents, are Trumpers so in his case 'respect' for his parents.
I simply can't understand Hispanics voting for Trump. How can they not know that he hates them? I understand that they want a strong daddy/dictator. Do some Hispanics identify as white? I've heard that Texas Hispanics believe that they are white. Who knows?
Welp, time for a little 'splainin', I suppose. These are some facts I've picked up along the way, but bear in mind I'm Liberal White-splaining it all to you, results may vary. Anyone with superior intel, please jump in and correct me.
1. A lot of people do not like to be referred to as 'Hispanic'. It implies that they are descended from Spaniards who got all, y'know, rapey with native women in the Southern Americas.
2. Some other people might LIKE the word 'Hispanic', for the same reason, though avoiding thinking about all the raping part. Reason being, 'White Is Right' has penetrated most minds in the world to one degree or the other. The Spanish, being European, are often considered "White". That matters because humans are racist as shit.
3. On balance, 'Latino/Latina' (do NOT use 'Latinx', which is bad for other reasons) *may* be a reasonable default to use for most people, though they may tell you if they prefer otherwise.
4. That daddy/dictator trope is a bit... insulting. You might want to ease up on that.
So here's my conclusion, such as it is: yes, some people, including some Latinos, think of themselves as White. Whether or not they call themselves 'Hispanic' is individual preference, I suppose.
I don't know much about 'Texas Hispanics'. I met a lot of people in my years there whose families partially hailed from South of the Border. For reasons unknown, I saw a real trend there of German boys marrying Mexican girls and raising up a living room full of rugrats. Said rugrats call themselves TexMex, if anything. It's messy. Like humans all are.
Mexican or "Hispanic" women are very beautiful. I did not realize that "Hispanic" was a negative designation. I, personally, don't like Latina. I live in a very, very "Hispanic" community. I generally refer to my neighbors as people or neighbors.
Yeah, about that. It's very White of me to define what is in the interests of someone else. Sometimes interests are just perceived at the time and can change. Maybe it is presumptuous and self-defeating for me to confidently say that 'No True Scotsman' would vote for trump. Maybe I just don't fully understand everything going on it the Scotsman's mind.
Recalling lessons from my college Anthropology class. There are three races of humans, Caucasoid, Negroid and Asian. Hispanics are considered part of the Caucasoid race. So I guess that counts as white. But don't tell Taco Don.
"All my thoughts become the law " (just like he declassified those documents with his mind), He has formally mentally delegated all natural disasters to the states. He communicated this clearly when he abolished FEMA (without congressional approval). Consequently, ⛈️⛈️⛈️⛈️⛈️⛈️
Because their wanna be king has never taken responsibility for anything in his entire life including heartburn from sucking down McDonalds’s at supersonic speed without coming up for air, the cult also believes they’re complete failures of a human being should also always blames someone else, specifically brown and black people, and of course trans people.
If it’s his fault, it’s their fault and they cannot accept blame for anything bad they do. That’s why they believe the Sky Fairy has the power to absolve their sins, so they can be blameless.
Deleterious identity infusion is the MAGA psychology profile you’re referring to Wendy, as for the ideological profile the billionaire technocrats are stuffing down our throats, it’s known as accelerationism!!
TDS (drumpf Derangement Syndrome) should refer to anyone still deranged enough to support that utter piece of shit. It’s not normal by any stretch of the imagination to support a president and political party that are 180 degrees in opposition to helping your own group, simply because they spout the racist shit you wish you could, but know you’d be fired and disowned by most for doing so.
It's a reminder that tragedy (preventable or otherwise) doesn't care about your political affiliation. It doesn't care whether you are "in it" for the liberal tears.
And why should the criminal elect accept any responsibility for anything? He has subverted the entire justice system so he will not be held responsible for any "official" act.
The extreme climate catastrophe in Texas is just the beginning. Public health is at risk. Public infrastructure such as air travel is at risk. Food safety and the spread of E-coli and Salmonella will soon be displacing stories about Texas floods, extreme hurricanes, and massive wildfires.
The DOJ has been subverted to pursue political opponents and people of color. Government watchdogs formerly charged with investigating corruption are marginalized. Millions of families will lose access to healthcare -not immediately, because voters will forget the "Big Beautiful Tax Fraud" that is piling debt on top of debt.
The Judicial System now has Thomas, Alito, Roberts, Kavanaugh, and Aileen Cannon as case studies in corruption, incompetence, and betrayal of fundamental responsibility to justice.
The United States as a global partner in trade, defense, and climate are no longer. We are now as much of a pariah as Putin's Russia, Netanyahu's Israel, and Hamas' Gaza.
No, the plane crashes, the Texas floods, wildfires, concentration camps, State-sponsored kidnappings and trafficking, the deployment of lethal military forces to U.S. cities are simply the very beginning of what is to come. The on/off tariffs and corresponding insider trades.
But it's not all bad news. Putin will have Ukraine. China will own science and innovation. Kushner/Trump/Netanyahu will have beachfront Gaza resorts. And Musk, Bezos, and Thiel have their tax cuts.
In addition to the gutting of the NWS, I also have zero confidence in the shitstorm that is Texass state gubmint, led by ridiculous incompetent hatemongers Abbott, Patrick, and Paxton
I want to give a huge shout-out to HEB (a local grocery chain here in TX), whose emergency response team has provided crucial boots-on-the-ground support for the impacted areas. Not only did they refuse to do away with DEIB initiatives, they've stepped in when our inept Republican government dragged behind.
I love HEB. They’re not just a grocery store. They’re a family owned business that values people and treats everyone with compassion. They’re a true community treasure.
It's completely true that TX govt is generally ridonkulous and despicable- but don't give up. There are those who are determinedly pushing our purple tendencies. Check out this good news. San An's had some great mayors - Joaquin's brother Julian and most recenty Ron Nirenberg among them.
Speaking of the Maybelline Bitch, Vance was in San Diego yesterday, dining on sushi and churros, while touring the area in a presidential limo -- probably looking for another promising detention center site. Don't know if he dragged his dish rag of a wife around with him. But he was booed savagely by crowds of people who recognized him, called "Bastard" and told to leave the neighborhood. Nice welcoming committee.
It was a "Christian" camp in the first place. I guess Gawd was too busy watching reruns of Jeopardy to bother saving anybody in a Christian organization.
Notice him offering head nods up/down to el presi-dented depending on the question. Subtle cues on the "right" answer. Can't decide who I detest more, Nutlick, Homan, or Bessent. Gross.
Homan in the lead, I think. He is really disgusting. Nutlick and Bessent are white boy yes men who are completely empty. Homan is a Nazi sadist and a fat ugly pig.
Not sure if it's him .But more news outlets should be showing a certain video clip more often .It's Homan saying flat out " We don't care what the judges say " .
That’s why that insufferable prick wants to eliminate FEMA so he can screw with the blue states and extract an ass kissing from the red ones. Come on cheeseburgers, do your thing…
If you can sniff glue and imagine Joe Biden acting like this after a disaster do you think he would get away with it? If he weren't 25th Amendmented on the spot you would have numerous Democrats calling him an asshole. The coverage alone would assure nobody supported any initiative of his again. Same with Kamala Harris.
I expect some new atrocity will happen this week to push this out of the news as the refuge in audacity continues.
And this is the deference you get by serving both the unreconstructed and the wealthy.
Every time Joe Biden went to Rehoboth Beach, which is just a helicopter ride from the WH, Fox News was all over it. But Trump can take Air Force One and fly to his golf courses and not a peep from the media.
Trump’s golfing rate has actually dropped in the last few months. It had been in the low 39 percentages to high 20 percentages. If he golfed “only” [every] weekend, he’d have a percentage of 2/7=28.6%, but it’s now down to 22.62%!
Boo Hoo - was heard somewhere in his administration. Dead people don’t matter to these fecal sniffing slime bags…. unless the dead were a political advantage to them somehow.
Actually, no boo-hoos that I heard of. Sen. crutch from TX said that it was god's way of bringing his people together to help one another. holy mikie said "tots and pears, lots and lots of 'em." Oh, yeah, rep. marsha of the poofy bouffant said, "don't you DARE talk about that stuff now! we're in MOURNING!"
“Marzipan McDildo”. 👏👏👏
The felon is stark raving mad. And yet the media just ignores it. We are getting screwed harder by the day. 🤦♀️
Holy Moses Johnson never met a catastrophe he could do anything about except pray…..I mean chortle “the plan is working”.
Prayer won't fund the federal government especially since Elmo took a chainsaw to the agencies protecting the health, safety and security of the American people. As Jeff says so eloquently, they can all fuck right off!
Agree
💯
Prayers aren't going to bring those girls back.
They think they can talk their way out of every tragedy. This time it isn't true.
Just for a moment imagine if....old man Biden was Prez and he golfed on day after this tragedy. The piercing screams from the right wing would shake the earth. But we have the sound of.....silence. Are the Dems AFRAID to scream????
not at all...but if the media ignores them would the screams be heard? (a variation on the "if a tree falls in the forest..." saying)
And if he wasn’t golfing, he wouldn’t be doing shit anyway for the rescue effort.
Pray. Right now its the biggest waste of time. There is a special place in hell for all of them.
As an atheist, I’m sickened by the odious cretins who fall on their knees, praying for fairies in the sky for assistance!
It’s the hypocrisy - Jesus would toss them all into RiverStyx.
Nicely played Dave, Styx would take care of much of the worlds issues in short order, just ask Zeus!!
They don't sicken me. Anyone who tells someone else to pray deserves to be punched. By me.
I don't have a sky daddy.
I don’t believe in the basement troll, either.
Ditto. It’s like watching my kids look for fairies and leprechauns in my backyard.
Frankly, I would believe in fairies, leprechauns and unicorns before I would believe in a god, let alone any god.
They could exist. It could happen.
Rriiiiiiggghhtt😅
I would like to Sudan as their last homes
Yep.....God gave us disaster coordinators. D & DOGE sent them to hell. And these folks can only.....pray???
His middle name has to be nebbish, or possibly mook Kay-EI!!
The plan being "kill all our current and future voters." None of these dead people will ever cast a vote for t or republicans.
Right?! No matter what they’ll be hit the worst. My evil twin is ok with that. “Shhhh” “No, you shhhh”.
According to Greg Palast 3.5 Billion votes were purged from the last election… at this rate controls of any election won’t require eugenics., even though it’s part of the Project 2025 plan LTBW!!
How’d the B sneak out… Million geezus this tiny keyboard, and these big fingers!
I got you.😉 😉😉😆
Uhhmmmmm. Where did you read that? There aren’t that many people in the United States. Including ineligible voters, minors, noncitizens, etc. https://nationsgeo.com/population/north-america/us/
3.5 billion. That's more people than...... never mind.
Keyboard error, or loss of consciousness is all I got!
Figured that. Thought I'd give you a chance to hide in the basement for a minute.
Hah, how about million Hannah???
Why not. I'm with you.
Except, Patrick, everything I read this morning has convinced me that this is the final solution, killing all our current and future voters.
Eugenics is definitely Project 2025esque LTBW!!

"All we know what to do is pray".....that sounds like Hakeem Jeffries after D wins election and unleashes his authoritarianism.. Hakeem and Hebrew Chuck are NOT on Dem 'team' anymore. Drumpf has compromised (threatened) them. No??
I don’t think they’re compromised, just trying to play by the rules in a game that has no rules. Like Calvinball (if you know your comic strips)
Ditto. It’s past time for the gloves to come off and go all gladiator on them. We’re not going to take our country back by pretending abnormal behaviour is normal and that Democrats are maintaining the status quo because we are above the base behaviour, illegality and unconstitutional activities of the orange foolius’ administration.
Bare knuckle, MMA, John Woo double fisted pistol beat down. I want every one of those fucks to know that if they reach for me, they are going to come away with missing fingers and a bloody stump.
By all means, take the high road, but don’t tell me that umbrella is going to keep the yellow water they insist is rain from splashing up in my face.
An intervention is in order.
Calvinball is real !!!
It might look like a comic, but I played it with my kids.
It's a make 'em up as you play kind of game!
And not enjoying it. Between the media, Emperor Demented Donnie and Rev. Johnson, they are as useless as marzipan dildos and tits on a boar. Like Neil degrade Tyson said, "if prayers worked, we wouldn't have a need for science".

Love the old “tits on a boar” saying popping up here Rick
Thanks Patrick.
Fit the situation perfectly
Have you seen Bill Kristol’s piece? An absolute nightmare - I felt sick reading it. On Bulwark…
I'll never be able to get the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) out of my head whenever Kristol shows up.
That notwithstanding, I found merit in what he wrote as the worst possible scenario to bear in mind.
Haven’t thanks for the warning Dr.
I'll check it out. Thanks.
Tell me before I bother. Is it the usual Bulwark crap?
No, Bill Kristol, with whom I don’t agree a lot, writes about how bad this nightmare scenario can get.. don’t read it if you expect to touchy feely piece
Tx.
Right on Rick!!
I am the granddaughter of Danish immigrants, I love Marzipan, it comes in
many shapes, but I'll pass on the dildo.
The funny thing is that those things probably exist in tourist shops in Europe. Marzipan is popular in all its forms.
Hard pass eh Kristy!!
Can I eat it, though? 😈
Weird kink .
Eating penis shaped marzipan? 🤣🤣😇

Sadly 5 billionaire owned corporations control everything we read, hear, and see Kay!!
Just another gestapo and mob tactic. He's built up his enforcers with huge sums of money and now he'll have them collecting the debts he feels he's sowed
His very own brown and silver shirts, coupled with a loyalist Gestapo Teri!!
Yep

I still like Donny Caligulump.
May I I borrow that? I have a collection of alternate slates of names for conold.
At least mine won’t get busted for falsifying state and federal documents. 🤣
It’s genius. Why pay for expensive weather scientists (meteor what??) to try and save people, when it’s so much cheaper to just pray for them after they die in a flood?

And yes, I used the word Cock-weasels. :)
As always Jeff, Liked, Restacked, Quoted, and Crossed to our readers. Keep up the hard work. :)
In other words they're a bunch of mindless idiots.
I mean yes....but I was actually trying to diagnose the motherfuckers....albeit its actually really hard. But yes Phil, you are SPOT on.
It's difficult to analyze them. The trainer at gym I used to go to was MAGA but was against some of Taco Don's rhetoric.

Your point that strikes like a tuning fork: "...humans are racist as shit."
I tend to fall in line, George (as a fellow Atlantan btw), with your expression.
What's wrong with Latinx?
Same with Blacks for Trump.
Yeah, about that. It's very White of me to define what is in the interests of someone else. Sometimes interests are just perceived at the time and can change. Maybe it is presumptuous and self-defeating for me to confidently say that 'No True Scotsman' would vote for trump. Maybe I just don't fully understand everything going on it the Scotsman's mind.
Recalling lessons from my college Anthropology class. There are three races of humans, Caucasoid, Negroid and Asian. Hispanics are considered part of the Caucasoid race. So I guess that counts as white. But don't tell Taco Don.
By the time you went to college evidently "Asian" had replaced "Mongoloid" which was the original racialist term.
Re: the concept of separate human races:
I found this 1998 statement on the American Anthropological Association site:
https://americananthro.org/about/policies/statement-on-race/
Always keep learning!
Before Nixon, birth certificates identified what later would be Hispanic as White/Caucasian.
The internet breaks brains.
Especially MAGA brains.
Because Donny Convict believes...
"All my thoughts become the law " (just like he declassified those documents with his mind), He has formally mentally delegated all natural disasters to the states. He communicated this clearly when he abolished FEMA (without congressional approval). Consequently, ⛈️⛈️⛈️⛈️⛈️⛈️

I poured a cup of coffee this morning . As I added milk , a lot spilled on the counter . I blame Joe Biden .
As rational as all this stuff going on.
🤣🤣🤣
If it’s his fault, it’s their fault and they cannot accept blame for anything bad they do. That’s why they believe the Sky Fairy has the power to absolve their sins, so they can be blameless.
If they only swept the river, the river banks, and the entirety of the flood’s path….
They are children.
Yeah, Children of the Corn.
Does He Who Walks Behind The Rows get to eat them all so we dont have to deal with them anymore?
I don't want to insult children. These people are cretins- amoeba slime. Will never translate into anything worthwhile.
Strategists, more like it :/
I used to think Maga was equivalent to a cult and now I just think they are full-blown zombies.
Deleterious identity infusion is the MAGA psychology profile you’re referring to Wendy, as for the ideological profile the billionaire technocrats are stuffing down our throats, it’s known as accelerationism!!

Agree 100%
Sounds like an insult to both cocks AND weasels to compare them to this toxic dumpster fire.
I tried to be creative...Jeff does a better job than I do.
Thank you Jeff.
It's a reminder that tragedy (preventable or otherwise) doesn't care about your political affiliation. It doesn't care whether you are "in it" for the liberal tears.
And why should the criminal elect accept any responsibility for anything? He has subverted the entire justice system so he will not be held responsible for any "official" act.
The extreme climate catastrophe in Texas is just the beginning. Public health is at risk. Public infrastructure such as air travel is at risk. Food safety and the spread of E-coli and Salmonella will soon be displacing stories about Texas floods, extreme hurricanes, and massive wildfires.
The DOJ has been subverted to pursue political opponents and people of color. Government watchdogs formerly charged with investigating corruption are marginalized. Millions of families will lose access to healthcare -not immediately, because voters will forget the "Big Beautiful Tax Fraud" that is piling debt on top of debt.
The Judicial System now has Thomas, Alito, Roberts, Kavanaugh, and Aileen Cannon as case studies in corruption, incompetence, and betrayal of fundamental responsibility to justice.
The United States as a global partner in trade, defense, and climate are no longer. We are now as much of a pariah as Putin's Russia, Netanyahu's Israel, and Hamas' Gaza.
No, the plane crashes, the Texas floods, wildfires, concentration camps, State-sponsored kidnappings and trafficking, the deployment of lethal military forces to U.S. cities are simply the very beginning of what is to come. The on/off tariffs and corresponding insider trades.
But it's not all bad news. Putin will have Ukraine. China will own science and innovation. Kushner/Trump/Netanyahu will have beachfront Gaza resorts. And Musk, Bezos, and Thiel have their tax cuts.
It will only be really bad for the majority of us.
I can't even "like" this. It's sad but true.
Mathematically and morally speaking, truth > likes.
But my fragile ego still enjoys both.
Me too
I don't think those last 3 are just looking for tax cuts.
Also -- "No one saw this coming" -- said the man who put a fucking blindfold over everyone's eyes.
I hate him so much.
In addition to the gutting of the NWS, I also have zero confidence in the shitstorm that is Texass state gubmint, led by ridiculous incompetent hatemongers Abbott, Patrick, and Paxton
I want to give a huge shout-out to HEB (a local grocery chain here in TX), whose emergency response team has provided crucial boots-on-the-ground support for the impacted areas. Not only did they refuse to do away with DEIB initiatives, they've stepped in when our inept Republican government dragged behind.
They are always in the forefront. Some Texans actually care about all people.
Their Careers website says that HEB also stands for “Here Everyone Belongs”. Mad respect. Plus their barbecue kicks ass.
Agreed
I love HEB. They’re not just a grocery store. They’re a family owned business that values people and treats everyone with compassion. They’re a true community treasure.
I really miss the scathing critiques of the Texas legislature by Molly Ivins and Jim Hightower!
It's completely true that TX govt is generally ridonkulous and despicable- but don't give up. There are those who are determinedly pushing our purple tendencies. Check out this good news. San An's had some great mayors - Joaquin's brother Julian and most recenty Ron Nirenberg among them.

Mike Johnson triggers my barf reflex every time I have to see his face. He is completely devoid of any human impulses or feelings.
Kinda like that choad JD.
Speaking of the Maybelline Bitch, Vance was in San Diego yesterday, dining on sushi and churros, while touring the area in a presidential limo -- probably looking for another promising detention center site. Don't know if he dragged his dish rag of a wife around with him. But he was booed savagely by crowds of people who recognized him, called "Bastard" and told to leave the neighborhood. Nice welcoming committee.

Maybe if those girls at the campground were carrying fetuses there would have gotten more than "hope and prayers."
It was a "Christian" camp in the first place. I guess Gawd was too busy watching reruns of Jeopardy to bother saving anybody in a Christian organization.
It was Joe's fault anyway but we won't blame him.
I know people toss the word 'sociopath' around fairly easily, but like..............this man is a fucking sociopath.
Little Mikie Johnson is anything BUT "holy". He's a despicable disgrace to this country. So are every single one of his 220 thugs.
Hence the sarcasm.
C’mon, Elon! Stop fucking around with us already, and tell us everything you know!
Tell the truth and shame the devil, weirdo!
Right now he’s tied for the title of worst human on the planet. But he could move into a solid second place.
Which one?
Climate change denial is going to hit those gulf states especially hard with all those hurricanes and all. It’s going to be an interesting season.
Even Mister Burns had Smithers to coax him in such circumstances.
do you think that's Tom Homan on the tarmac next to Donny? I couldn't confirm it, so I didn't mention him in my post.
Doesn't look like Homan. Homan looks like a stubbed toe, according to some wag on Substack
Richard Pryor once described Reagan as looking like "a dick in a suit". That applies even more so to Homan.
Hmmm? A Marzipan dildo in a suit !
Hahahahaha!
😂😂😂😂
Very astute! 😆😆😆😆😆
😂😂😂
😆😆😆
Looks more like Howard Nutlick.
oh you're right. I'm glad I deleted the "why is Tom Homan there?" paragraph I wrote in the first draft of the post.
Notice him offering head nods up/down to el presi-dented depending on the question. Subtle cues on the "right" answer. Can't decide who I detest more, Nutlick, Homan, or Bessent. Gross.
Homan in the lead, I think. He is really disgusting. Nutlick and Bessent are white boy yes men who are completely empty. Homan is a Nazi sadist and a fat ugly pig.
Ernst Rohm
Ugh. Yes.
And we know what happened to “good guy” Ernst in the end…
No argument here:)
Yep, I noticed . My opinion , they let don _old travel with a "nanny" only !
Kinda looks like Nutlick but not as ugly
“Nutlick”? Is that his real name??? I’m so out of it.
I really am out of it. I looked him up - his last name is really “Lutnick”. Hahaha I would have edited my comment but I couldn’t figure out how.
His real name is Howard Lutnick, but folks (did Jeff start it? I can't remember) have started calling him "Nutlick". It fits.
That's the guy with the mother in law who doesn't need SS - Lutnick, I think. All these awful white guys look alike.
Right? Like the silicon pumped women Trump surrounds himself with. Sex with these freaks must feel like fucking a sidewalk.
No that’s Howard Ludnuts our grand negotiator who never wins.
Not sure if it's him .But more news outlets should be showing a certain video clip more often .It's Homan saying flat out " We don't care what the judges say " .
Looks more like Lutnick to me.
That’s why that insufferable prick wants to eliminate FEMA so he can screw with the blue states and extract an ass kissing from the red ones. Come on cheeseburgers, do your thing…
If you can sniff glue and imagine Joe Biden acting like this after a disaster do you think he would get away with it? If he weren't 25th Amendmented on the spot you would have numerous Democrats calling him an asshole. The coverage alone would assure nobody supported any initiative of his again. Same with Kamala Harris.
I expect some new atrocity will happen this week to push this out of the news as the refuge in audacity continues.
And this is the deference you get by serving both the unreconstructed and the wealthy.
Every time Joe Biden went to Rehoboth Beach, which is just a helicopter ride from the WH, Fox News was all over it. But Trump can take Air Force One and fly to his golf courses and not a peep from the media.
Trump’s golfing rate has actually dropped in the last few months. It had been in the low 39 percentages to high 20 percentages. If he golfed “only” [every] weekend, he’d have a percentage of 2/7=28.6%, but it’s now down to 22.62%!

Gosh, I hope he’s getting enough “me” time. Otherwise it’s bad for his mental and even physical health.
"I hear that there were even some children killed." Yes. Really.
Boo Hoo - was heard somewhere in his administration. Dead people don’t matter to these fecal sniffing slime bags…. unless the dead were a political advantage to them somehow.
Actually, no boo-hoos that I heard of. Sen. crutch from TX said that it was god's way of bringing his people together to help one another. holy mikie said "tots and pears, lots and lots of 'em." Oh, yeah, rep. marsha of the poofy bouffant said, "don't you DARE talk about that stuff now! we're in MOURNING!"
So now the Epstein List simply doesn’t exist? Then tell me again why Ghislaine Maxwell is in prison?
It's not your place to question.
