The entire Republican caucus is sprinting to the nearest mic to beg Donald Trump to please reopen the Strait of Hormuz — the same strait this Truth Social AssFucked Sun Tzu told to "open the F—in' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell." A real fucking statesman. Can the Strait be opened anymore than his own prolapsed asshole? Is that even possible?
Gas is over four bucks and the Party of Consequences just found out consequences apply to them too. They cheered the strikes. They killed their own bill to rein it in. Then they begged the jackass they uncaged to unfuck it.
Enter John fuckwad Thune, sweating bullets through a Brooks Brothers suit, shocked — shocked — that the fire he lit is hot.
The guy who lights the match never pays for the burn, we all do. Fuck them.
We'll be nervous right through the midterms but here's a good sign: polls show Democrats expressing much more enthusiasm about wanting to vote. We need massive turnout.
as an 90-yr-old raised in more genteel times, I'm shocked, I say, shocked at the fucking awful talk about hairy assholes - but any discussion of trump requires it
The Houthis are now threatening to close the Strait of Bab el-Mandeb at the bottom of the Red Sea. This will create a quantum entanglement of two straits in the superposed clopen position.
We have the Big Bang Theory to thank for the widespread knowledge of the paradox of Schrodinger's cat, now applied to anything Preznit Predator waffles on, which means everything
And, Dear Leader, Donaldo tRumpinski , remains a giant festering sore on the ass of our body politic. There are more than 1.3 billion acres of Canadian boreal forest... that means each and every one of the 41.5 million Canadians is responsible for raking 31.5 acres. 'Guess it's time for them to get cracking. eh?
Donny thinks maintaining forests is just like what they do at Disneyland 3 hours before they open: steam blast the sidewalks to ensure there are no stains, no bubblegum, no dirt whatsoever.
That's EXACTLY it! I'd put money on him NEVER having been in or even close to an actual forest in his entire wastrel life! He's lived inside a hermetically sealed fake bubble: limo to hotel room to penthouse to now his mar-a-lago island to the trashed White House, including stupid-azz 'free' planes and helicopters. What does he know about REAL life? Absolutely nothing: Zip, Zilch, Nada! Never been in a grocery store, drugstore, supermarket, filled his own gas tank, driven his own car ON a road. Spoiled rotten brat - just how he's raised his youngest son.
Guess we will have to build some roads pretty fast then. The First Nations town that burned to the ground was inaccessible by any roads, and the population had to escape across the lake.
When my great grandmother came for a visit from France and ended up staying for 4 years when WWII broke out, she told my mother something similar but it made more sense. She thought that the US had so many forest fires because people weren't burning wood in the winter as they used to before they changed to heating and cooking with coal, oil, etc. She said that in the forests around the villages and towns, people in France, and probably in the US, would gather kindling and tinder and take down dead tree for their fireplaces. That would clear the fuel around the villages and towns so a fire would be less likely to get to the houses. I bet someone told the orange dipsh*t that concept and his brain converted the idea into people raking the entire forests.
Dear Leader’s diseased brain has so many short circuits in it is impossible to figure out how he links stuff. He is like the last President with Alzheimer’s… remember when Ronnie Raygun told us that trees were the cause of most pollution?
I am certainly weary of these effers fucking with the oil and stock markets (to their benefit I might add), because it is making my retirement account activity look like a roller coaster ride at Cedar Point in Sandusky, OH. It's maddening. Add on top of that the increases in food, gas and other goods' prices and what should be an enjoyable time in my later years has turned into a survival nightmare. I fear my money will run out before Orange Blob is dead (his term has 914 days left as of today). Vote blue in November, folks, as if your life depended on it, because it unfortunately does.
Melinda, that’s an excellent synopsis of life in America today! My wife assures me that we’ll be fine financially. I wish I had her positive outlook. Even if we can weather trump and the Republicans financially i know there will be thousands who won’t fare so well. I say “thousands” knowing very well that it could be “millions”.
I am reading a book called when the World Stops Shopping. The latest chapter is on people who live a simpler life (i.e. less expensive) and like it. It's not glamorous but its not a life of deprivation either. It's making me rethink how much I actually need to get by.
We have rethought it, too. We have downsized tremendously. Every purchase is questioned as to need vs want. It's kind of liberating, but we still wonder if there will be something else Trump does that is so stupid it will turn our applecart over for good, lol.
Trump is now flat out selling advance drafts of his Truth Social posts so subscribing investors can buy or sell in advance of market impacts. That "may not be illegal" because no president has done that before and no legal precedent has been addressed. How's a legalistic society working out for us?
Good point Sharon! Trump has been doing this immoral shit his whole life. He has somehow managed to dance on this edge of illegal/legal actions and always gets away with it with no consequences— just look at E. Jean Carroll — she did everything legal, by the book, won her case, was awarded a guilty verdict against trump, also won appeals and survived legal challenges and she still can’t be safe from her award money being yanked away by trump judges.
Justice? What justice?
You can’t tell me that the law is equal for all Americans — the rich get special treatment and considerations; while the super rich are immune from prosecution and have free rain to take advantage of whoever they choose without hindrance.
It's not the courts that gift special treatment...it's that those with plenty of money can afford the major investment that getting the very best in legal representation requires. Lawyers can argue, obsfuscate, file injunctions, require discovery and so on and on and on. They can delay until the little guy runs out of time and money. THAT'S how they all get away with the shit that they do.
It's never going to be 100% because there are MAGAts who go, "The Dow is over 50,000! The Trump economy is the hottest!" while they ignore everything else.
Jeff, I realize you have a lot of territory to cover each and every day, however one story I am unable to wrap my head around..
Yesterday it was announced that Kash, famed boyfriend of a wrasseling country western singer, also head of FBI will travel to Moscow… in late October right before our general election… Why meet with our chief advisory so close to our election? This is utter garbage, but to be expected from this crew.. I’d like to see more folks questioning the logic of this move.. Best to all fellow travelers.
As a resident of the state where Pearl Harbor is located, I have the utmost spite for that sacrilegious "executive snorkeling tour" that this m-fucker took around the USS Arizona Memorial.
I think you meant they are our chief adversary. But no doubt the faux pas is exactly correct. Trump‘s administration seems to be in constant communication with Putin. Every time something big comes up, it seems that Trump needs to get instructions from HIS chief advisor, Vladimir. If he’s not meeting with him personally after rolling out the red carpet in Alaska, he is sending a flunky to personally get Putin‘s marching orders for Trump, without fear of their communication being intercepted.
Trump docs last week showed the Russians tried to help him again in 2020,just like 2016,(it's not a 'witch hunt' when you're guilty AF) He's too senile to remember him and his crime family are still Russian assets.
Great info Fredo! I think trumpy trump needs more talking points from Putin on how Russia is definitely not trying to control the outcome of our elections. Trump needs a new denial quote that’s got some pop to it and he’s got just the man to pry it out of Putin’s paranoid Parkinson’s mush brain, kash (the flaccid) pathetic Patel
Ha ha! Yeah. Don't get me wrong! I never used the F-word myself until I started reading Jeff's column, more than two years ago, and now I admire his creativity. But I still don't think children should be reading this (and I hope they aren't! I hope they're reading good books meant for them, including all the ones some people want to ban).
I didn't miss it, I ignored it and hoped it would just die down. I swear, all these cute young smiley politicians rolling out are going to have to reinforce their campaign stages... to deal with the ton of panties being thrown on it every night.
Well....remember Trump had the National Guard raking the grass in DC. Maybe he should offer to call out the National Guard and send them up to Canada to teach them a lesson on landscape management?
1) It's so nice Tom Homan can take timeout from counting the money in the grocery bags of cash he is handed to provide future testimony for his criminal and civil trials.
2) It's wonderful that ICE can help make sure all of those pardoned by the pedo criminal elect can have gainful employment after their early release from prison.
3) With all the news about fires, floods, tariffs, and war -the Epstein-Trump-Maxwell files have fallen out of the news. Mission Accomplished!
4) Make sure if you are reading this that you've updated your resume to include "Food Inspector" -because of the corrupt incompetent group of sociopaths the criminal elect and his couch loving VP call a Cabinet -the next round of discovering a harmful and/or potentially deadly food contaminant is on each of us.
News today included a piece disclosing that Epstein continued to recruit, rape, and indenture girls during his laughable house arrest in 2009. Alex Acosta allowed him to hire his own private guards for which he paid local law enforcement over $128,000 to look the other way. He ran his global pedophile crime network uninterrupted. The Tate bros are no doubt angling for the same sweet deal (it's all up to little Marco Rubio to approve their extradition to Britain).
Jeff-excellent post. Homan-as Fred Flintstone…is perfect-as the whole administration seems to going back to stone age! Love you two in the photos! Now go rake some forest everyone so we can stop the fires-just ask trumpelstiltskin!
All the people laughing in the MSM because they were free to write bullshit about Democrats and dismiss their warnings...how's life for you now? Oh I'm sure your C-suite will be just fine.
The number of people who bow to America's Pilonidal Cyst and avoid telling him he's stupid is amazing. It's like they're all part of the bubble; they're all adjuncts to Frau Natalie and her printer. And this is why I talk so much about the deference of the political and legal systems to him, the champion of the unreconstructed.
Every single discussion of wildfires now is just going to be know-nothings insisting that a drought-dried forest can just be raked. It's the same thing as APC insisting there's some giant faucet that brings water from Canada to California (I believe he thinks this because he believes things flow from north to south on a map). And of course it's a great vehicle for sadopopulists to say, "well fires are not managed because DEI or liberals."
What a world we live in. Gilded Age 2.0...I would never recommend it!
The question is, if you rake up all those leaves, you end up with a mountain of leaves. What do you do with them once they are raked? When I was kid, we burned them.
I'm so fucking pissed at this group of self-hating men and women and their sycophantic sucking up to that babyman. This time in history will eventually pass and we will recover.
"oh, to have the serene confidence of the mediocre white man. it must be nice."
"rake the forests. nuke the hurricane. bleach the virus. solving all the world’s problems is a piece of cake when you have no fucking clue what you’re talking about."
And a little further on:
"government by retributive mass delusion, just as our Founding Fathers envisioned."
Remember what happened to people who didn’t comply with the SS in Germany during World War II? They were detained, tortured and shot, gassed, hanged or buried alive.
Thank you Jeff for talking about Canada’s forest fires. I don’t think trumpet the clown knows that Canada’s land mass is bigger than the US. While Canada is the second-largest country globally, only about 5% to 12% of its landmass is considered habitable or suitable for widespread human settlement. Roughly 90% of all Canadians live within just 100 miles of the U.S. border, where the climate and arable land are most forgiving.
What we don’t need is your ignorant president pooping on our country because he’s still p*ssed that we will not allow him to annex Canada and become your 51st state.
Dear Canada and Canadians: Americans are truly ashamed of the asshole-in-chief. We sincerely apologize for his nastiness and idiocy. We hope that things will return to normal one day. Serious people are trying to make this happen.
Yes, we know that there are lots of Americans who care about Canada. I for one am grateful to all who are injecting humour into this colossal farcical period. It will soon be over. Only 2 more years to go before we will once again be dancing in the streets - we hope.
The next time low IQ Trump says that your PM should respond by offering to make the US the 11th province. Smoke would probably come out of Trump's ears if he did that.
He thinks he can battle climate change through insults and tariffs on foreign goods, which are simply taxes imposed on U.S. consumers. Maybe his private Ass Whisperer told him he can raise money for his losing war with Iran this way.
He still does, but whenever there's a possibility of extorting someone, a corporation, or a country... his transactional self is all in. He wants to punish Canada for not going along with all of his hare-brained schemes.
I’m not sure how well-versed Trump is about Canada. We have 15 active free trade agreements (FTAs) that cover 51 different countries globally, excluding the US. It’s not as though we’re orphans the way Trump makes us out to be.
Yeah, he thinks he's a gift to the entire planet, because he's too stoopid to see that no one respects him, his "leadership", or his ridiculous threats. Also too neanderthal to realize that Canada is leaving the U.S. behind for other, better allies. Bad for us, but good for Canada!
Nomination for "This Week In Stupid": checked in with CNN to see if there was a happy breaking news headline about Donnie Demento's being taken to a farm upstate, where he could run and play with Moscow Mitch and Miss Lindsay all day.....and instead encountered........a new level of STOOOPID.
Intense discussion of the HUGE controversy erupting over the Maine Democratic candidate for Senate, Troy Jackson--such concern, worthy of the Empress of Concern and Furrowed Brows herself, Susie Collins. Questions burning through the party about Jackson's "temperament"--oh, noes!
Because, years ago, he threw a water bottle at a wall in frustration during a town meeting.
Yep--that was the Big Story on CNN.
I almost threw one at my TV. But I sought solace, instead, by checking on TS Bertha via The Weather Channel. Except some jackanapes on that called it the "Gulf of America." Time to turn the TV off and go do laundry......
As a kid I heard that some enterprising fellow created a foam brick that irritated viewers could hurl at their TVs whenever they were triggered by the grating Howard Cosell. A MAGA brick that doesn't damage the screen would be a big hit.
Our Maine Democratic Party and delegates did the best they could. Personally I would have preferred Dr Shah. I’ll vote for Troy, but he doesn’t appeal to me. He does support a progressive agenda, and that’s enough, given our lot.

The entire Republican caucus is sprinting to the nearest mic to beg Donald Trump to please reopen the Strait of Hormuz — the same strait this Truth Social AssFucked Sun Tzu told to "open the F—in' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell." A real fucking statesman. Can the Strait be opened anymore than his own prolapsed asshole? Is that even possible?

“The GOP is ass clinchingly terrified of November…” as they should be! Nice one Wendy!
Which is why Trump will do everything he can to fix, takeover or cancel elections.
Which is why we need to make the turnout massive and pro-democracy.
Too Big To Rig!!
We'll be nervous right through the midterms but here's a good sign: polls show Democrats expressing much more enthusiasm about wanting to vote. We need massive turnout.
We cannot let that thought stop us from fighting. If we fight, we win.
Every candidate needs to be asked, in a close race, are you willing to fight in the courts? Too often our D candidates capitulate too soon, IMO.
I was just yesterday thinking that about Kamala not even bringing this up. What’s with Dems fighting for their rights?
Reading those words made me cringe. Those were Kamala Harris's rallying call. We did fight... and we lost.
Yes, like keeping the "not a war" going with Iran, as an excuse to cancel elections.
side by side with T's "prolapsed asshole"
Silly me. I thought JD was T's prolapsed asshole
He's just the hair around it, in the shape of a merkin.
Now there's a word I do not hear very often! JD is Trump's merkin and Usha is JD's beard. What a weird and whacked out admin we have.
as an 90-yr-old raised in more genteel times, I'm shocked, I say, shocked at the fucking awful talk about hairy assholes - but any discussion of trump requires it
Oh, Seth! 💯🤣😂🤣
You were my first hearty laugh today ❤️ Thank you!
"Can the Strait be opened anymore than his own prolapsed asshole? Is that even possible?" FOTF!!!
I think we're going to be stuck in the Straits of Schrödinger for another ten years at this rate!
The Houthis are now threatening to close the Strait of Bab el-Mandeb at the bottom of the Red Sea. This will create a quantum entanglement of two straits in the superposed clopen position.
"clopen" - perfect!
Well, maybe someone from one of these countries will solve our problem for us.
One might think the Egyptians would take exception to the Houhti’s idea. But this is not a normal rule.
time to get back on the horse..
The Strait of Schrodinger....that is brilliant, Seth. Mind if I use it in the future?
Previously posted in April, May, and June. Predictably, it still holds true now:
The Strait I will open!
The Strait I will close!
Which is it now?
Nobody knows
The cease fire is on!
The cease fire is off!
Can't make up his mind
The world's nations scoff
Such unstable bullshit
Each time he speaks
Perpetual chaos
Another two weeks
How do the leaders of industry tolerate it? Someone ‘somewhere’ is making a crap ton off this chaos… sadly
Fuck me...
Please do!
We have the Big Bang Theory to thank for the widespread knowledge of the paradox of Schrodinger's cat, now applied to anything Preznit Predator waffles on, which means everything
Meanwhile, inside the box, Schrodinger's Cat is planning it's revenge...

Nice spot Seth! Great observation!

How tragic! I offer my humble apologies for our imbecilic and forever inappropriate squatter in the White House.
I’m just here imagining millions of Canadians mentally (because they’re wonderfully polite) telling us Americans just what to do with those rakes.
Anyway, have a stellar day, everyone (Canadians included)!!!💕

Great post Wendy!
I try to churn it every day, Frank. readers are what keep it going.
Dear Leader’s diseased brain has so many short circuits in it is impossible to figure out how he links stuff. He is like the last President with Alzheimer’s… remember when Ronnie Raygun told us that trees were the cause of most pollution?
Fucking fuckers
So good!
I think the last count was 38 for 'we already won the war' Wendy.
I am certainly weary of these effers fucking with the oil and stock markets (to their benefit I might add), because it is making my retirement account activity look like a roller coaster ride at Cedar Point in Sandusky, OH. It's maddening. Add on top of that the increases in food, gas and other goods' prices and what should be an enjoyable time in my later years has turned into a survival nightmare. I fear my money will run out before Orange Blob is dead (his term has 914 days left as of today). Vote blue in November, folks, as if your life depended on it, because it unfortunately does.
914 days, now I’m even more depressed 😔
It might as well be 914 years, the way he makes time drag on.
Sure feels like it!😔

Yeah. I'm not looking forward to the bread lines.
Maybe then my BF won’t think I’m such a weirdo for foraging in the forest.
It may serve the 1%, but a lot of folks have 401k's and other retirement plans that rely on it.
Half the population has no 401k or other pension or a single share of stock.
Even those who do... e.g. ORCL down 50 percent or more over the last year.
And all of those 401(k)’s under the influence of Elon’s stock Ponzi scheme. Way more harm than good.
Too many of us have our retirements bound up in the market. We have to believe that somehow that will turn out all right.
Trump is now flat out selling advance drafts of his Truth Social posts so subscribing investors can buy or sell in advance of market impacts. That "may not be illegal" because no president has done that before and no legal precedent has been addressed. How's a legalistic society working out for us?

You can’t tell me that the law is equal for all Americans — the rich get special treatment and considerations; while the super rich are immune from prosecution and have free rain to take advantage of whoever they choose without hindrance.
Not even on the edge. Trump has gotten away with wholly illegal actions his whole life.
It's not the courts that gift special treatment...it's that those with plenty of money can afford the major investment that getting the very best in legal representation requires. Lawyers can argue, obsfuscate, file injunctions, require discovery and so on and on and on. They can delay until the little guy runs out of time and money. THAT'S how they all get away with the shit that they do.
I will admit that for a very stupid man, Donny Diaper has a real gift for nosing out grifting opportunities.
Let’s ask a few of the nearly 2,000,000 individuals behind bars in this country right now how a legalistic society is working out for them.
It was nice when we had one.
Yeah, wishful thinking always helps.
Oh right!
Someone forgot how to count! Thanks for your work educating us and especially our Daily Claudia. Always makes my day better.
Claudia can certainly rock a hat, can't she?
Truly heartwarming pictures today
A lot of people think they are above average, or at least "temporarily embarrassed millionaires."
Also questioning this whole balance of who the stock market serves is itself 'socialism,' the propagandists tell people.
Giving more than a shit about anyone else is portrayed by the right as "socialism!"
From "1776":
John Dickinson: But don't forget that most men with nothing would rather protect the possibility of becoming rich than face the reality of being poor.
Headline should have been "Three in Five Americans Don't Know How Anything Works."
It's never going to be 100% because there are MAGAts who go, "The Dow is over 50,000! The Trump economy is the hottest!" while they ignore everything else.
Maybe it’d help if corporate Democrats would bring them up to date.
Love the pics of you and Claudia, Jeff; and, your hair on fire post again lived up to expectations..they always do (no pressure here).
The polls probably are skewed.
I agree wholeheartedly. It’s fucking rigged gambling.
It does
Some of them no doubt are watching their 401(k) go up.
Jeff, I realize you have a lot of territory to cover each and every day, however one story I am unable to wrap my head around..

If he shoved the snorkel up his ass, he could have a delightful three-way with his couch. Fucking moron.

Sorry Brett I guess I should proofread more carefully.. but my point is well taken..
Wonder if he'll bring Jill Stein with him to give a brief for her whole election cicada bit.
That traitor, useful idiot Jill Stein will rot in hell with the rest of them.
Kash is just making the trip so that he can take Putin’s orders directly.
Or it could be a job review🫨🫨🫨
Oh!!!! Setting up election fraud.

Ominous
That is utter garbage.
Ashley Babbit didn't comply, and her family received $5M in taxpayer funds. Crime pays well when you're MAGA.
good catch
Thanks for pointing that out. The GOP hypocrisy burns
Ashley Babbit=Horst Wessel.
That's the counter-example I always pull out and they have nothing to say about it.
👏
The canonization of that idiot Ashley Babbit by MAGA was the first thing that sprang to mind regarding compliance with law enforcement.
Thanks Jeff for always brightening my morning, saying what needs to be said day after day. I loved the pictures this morning of you and Ms Spouse!
From a Northern BC 🇨🇦 fan, who’s had her morning coffee and is going out now to rake her part of the forest. 🌳 🌳 🌳
southern BC here - too hot to rake today
LOL
I'm busy doing Newfoundland, OMG so many trees!
Newfoundland is majestically huge, lush and as beautifully abundant as BC. Take it slow and easy wisewebwoman.
Bless you for doing the hard work.
Someone has to do it!
Have fun raking the forest!
Are those forest floors in the room with us now?
I myself am looking around for the Finnish team of professional forest rakers.
There's never one around when you need them.
OooOOooOOO!!
I bet they're WAY better looking than the average MAGA man!!
Someone point me in their direction!!
Settle down, Ladies. This is a family Stack.
Bwahahaha! With Jeff's creative use of the F-word?
A study showed that swearing is associated with higher intelligence. Fuck yeah!
I love that! Thanks, Ginny.
Absa-fuckin-tutely!
Well, good point. But his F-cluster bombs are all for the Greater Good, doncha know.
Ha ha! Yeah. Don't get me wrong! I never used the F-word myself until I started reading Jeff's column, more than two years ago, and now I admire his creativity. But I still don't think children should be reading this (and I hope they aren't! I hope they're reading good books meant for them, including all the ones some people want to ban).
Those Finnish dudes are serving Viking vibes and I am here for it!
You missed the time a couple of the ladies got all Zohrandy
I didn't miss it, I ignored it and hoped it would just die down. I swear, all these cute young smiley politicians rolling out are going to have to reinforce their campaign stages... to deal with the ton of panties being thrown on it every night.
HR, I'm ready for my beating now.

Let's put ICE to work raking forests. It's about their speed.
They'll just get frustrated and start shooting the trees for littering. They were not hired for their brains.
I figured they'd start shooting each other Lord of the Flies style.
'Roid rage at work.
Well....remember Trump had the National Guard raking the grass in DC. Maybe he should offer to call out the National Guard and send them up to Canada to teach them a lesson on landscape management?
Because he knows allllllllll about that stuff.
Meselle, okay he’ll need to drive his golf cart through the treacherous wilderness and never find the way out.
They already have their face protection on work out their aggression raking as hard as they want!
Thank you Jeff. -I have thoughts.
1) It's so nice Tom Homan can take timeout from counting the money in the grocery bags of cash he is handed to provide future testimony for his criminal and civil trials.
2) It's wonderful that ICE can help make sure all of those pardoned by the pedo criminal elect can have gainful employment after their early release from prison.
3) With all the news about fires, floods, tariffs, and war -the Epstein-Trump-Maxwell files have fallen out of the news. Mission Accomplished!
4) Make sure if you are reading this that you've updated your resume to include "Food Inspector" -because of the corrupt incompetent group of sociopaths the criminal elect and his couch loving VP call a Cabinet -the next round of discovering a harmful and/or potentially deadly food contaminant is on each of us.
News today included a piece disclosing that Epstein continued to recruit, rape, and indenture girls during his laughable house arrest in 2009. Alex Acosta allowed him to hire his own private guards for which he paid local law enforcement over $128,000 to look the other way. He ran his global pedophile crime network uninterrupted. The Tate bros are no doubt angling for the same sweet deal (it's all up to little Marco Rubio to approve their extradition to Britain).

^^This.
Jeff-excellent post. Homan-as Fred Flintstone…is perfect-as the whole administration seems to going back to stone age! Love you two in the photos! Now go rake some forest everyone so we can stop the fires-just ask trumpelstiltskin!
Homan just doesn't give a damn
That he was caught in flim-flam
A bag full o' cash
A $50k stash
Denied by the Human Canned Ham
😝
Doc, there’s a heart attack just waiting for the right moment.
Tess Ye mean trumplethinstein
or trumpelthinskin? Either works!! lol
Was gonna say that too! Haha
All the people laughing in the MSM because they were free to write bullshit about Democrats and dismiss their warnings...how's life for you now? Oh I'm sure your C-suite will be just fine.
The number of people who bow to America's Pilonidal Cyst and avoid telling him he's stupid is amazing. It's like they're all part of the bubble; they're all adjuncts to Frau Natalie and her printer. And this is why I talk so much about the deference of the political and legal systems to him, the champion of the unreconstructed.
Every single discussion of wildfires now is just going to be know-nothings insisting that a drought-dried forest can just be raked. It's the same thing as APC insisting there's some giant faucet that brings water from Canada to California (I believe he thinks this because he believes things flow from north to south on a map). And of course it's a great vehicle for sadopopulists to say, "well fires are not managed because DEI or liberals."
What a world we live in. Gilded Age 2.0...I would never recommend it!
Ooof, Seth. Natalie would wince at not still being called Fraulein
The question is, if you rake up all those leaves, you end up with a mountain of leaves. What do you do with them once they are raked? When I was kid, we burned them.
excellent! nobody until now has thought to ask!
We did too‼️
To the tune of FOUND A PEANUT
Saw a Drumpfy, saw a Drumpfy
Saw a Drumpfy last night
He sicced ICE men upon me
Now a prison is in sight.
Miss my fam'ly
Have no friends here
Being tortured overnight
"We ain't doin' nothin'"
Says that Miller cretin, right?
They are loathsome and horrific
Get the fuck out of my sight!
You should all be here in prison
'Stead of me, who has no rights.
"Only white men who are Christian
Should have their voting rights"
Says that evil group of Nazis
Whose boot steps don't see the light.
Come November, we will throw them
On their asses outtasight
And Drumpf will whine and cry then
"It's rigged and...." Ah fuck it.
I'm so fucking pissed at this group of self-hating men and women and their sycophantic sucking up to that babyman. This time in history will eventually pass and we will recover.
Hopefully.
No time today for anything but “raking the forest”, my euphemism for doing no chores and going to a park with a plunge pool to escape the heat.
Love this post, Jeff! So many quotable lines.
"oh, to have the serene confidence of the mediocre white man. it must be nice."
"rake the forests. nuke the hurricane. bleach the virus. solving all the world’s problems is a piece of cake when you have no fucking clue what you’re talking about."
And a little further on:
"government by retributive mass delusion, just as our Founding Fathers envisioned."
Thank you for brightening my day with laughter.
Remember what happened to people who didn’t comply with the SS in Germany during World War II? They were detained, tortured and shot, gassed, hanged or buried alive.
Two ways to take that:
1. Everybody better comply. Tom Thumb would favor that option.
2. Consequences. Nuremburg. Our lack of cooperation becomes more.... active.
The second option. As I wrote in a comment a few days ago, ‘we will have our Nuremberg trials.’
Truth, Justice and the American Way will prevail.
If he builds that ballroom that's where I propose the trials be held.
Good times Derek.
Thank you Jeff for talking about Canada’s forest fires. I don’t think trumpet the clown knows that Canada’s land mass is bigger than the US. While Canada is the second-largest country globally, only about 5% to 12% of its landmass is considered habitable or suitable for widespread human settlement. Roughly 90% of all Canadians live within just 100 miles of the U.S. border, where the climate and arable land are most forgiving.
What we don’t need is your ignorant president pooping on our country because he’s still p*ssed that we will not allow him to annex Canada and become your 51st state.
Dear Canada and Canadians: Americans are truly ashamed of the asshole-in-chief. We sincerely apologize for his nastiness and idiocy. We hope that things will return to normal one day. Serious people are trying to make this happen.
Yes, we know that there are lots of Americans who care about Canada. I for one am grateful to all who are injecting humour into this colossal farcical period. It will soon be over. Only 2 more years to go before we will once again be dancing in the streets - we hope.
The next time low IQ Trump says that your PM should respond by offering to make the US the 11th province. Smoke would probably come out of Trump's ears if he did that.
Most of us are following our PM’s modus operandi - we ignore him which I suspect makes him crazy. He loves attention, and we’re not playing his game.
Well something is always spewing out of him you know.
What can we concerned USAmericans do? What international charities can we donate to that would help Canada? Lots of love to you.
He thinks he can battle climate change through insults and tariffs on foreign goods, which are simply taxes imposed on U.S. consumers. Maybe his private Ass Whisperer told him he can raise money for his losing war with Iran this way.
The real irony is that during his first term he thought climate change was a hoax.
He still does, but whenever there's a possibility of extorting someone, a corporation, or a country... his transactional self is all in. He wants to punish Canada for not going along with all of his hare-brained schemes.
I’m not sure how well-versed Trump is about Canada. We have 15 active free trade agreements (FTAs) that cover 51 different countries globally, excluding the US. It’s not as though we’re orphans the way Trump makes us out to be.
It really does show his bottomless stupidity.
Yeah, he thinks he's a gift to the entire planet, because he's too stoopid to see that no one respects him, his "leadership", or his ridiculous threats. Also too neanderthal to realize that Canada is leaving the U.S. behind for other, better allies. Bad for us, but good for Canada!
Nomination for "This Week In Stupid": checked in with CNN to see if there was a happy breaking news headline about Donnie Demento's being taken to a farm upstate, where he could run and play with Moscow Mitch and Miss Lindsay all day.....and instead encountered........a new level of STOOOPID.
Intense discussion of the HUGE controversy erupting over the Maine Democratic candidate for Senate, Troy Jackson--such concern, worthy of the Empress of Concern and Furrowed Brows herself, Susie Collins. Questions burning through the party about Jackson's "temperament"--oh, noes!
Because, years ago, he threw a water bottle at a wall in frustration during a town meeting.
Yep--that was the Big Story on CNN.
I almost threw one at my TV. But I sought solace, instead, by checking on TS Bertha via The Weather Channel. Except some jackanapes on that called it the "Gulf of America." Time to turn the TV off and go do laundry......
As a kid I heard that some enterprising fellow created a foam brick that irritated viewers could hurl at their TVs whenever they were triggered by the grating Howard Cosell. A MAGA brick that doesn't damage the screen would be a big hit.
Our Maine Democratic Party and delegates did the best they could. Personally I would have preferred Dr Shah. I’ll vote for Troy, but he doesn’t appeal to me. He does support a progressive agenda, and that’s enough, given our lot.
