The stock market has been so overvalued for ten years, I'd be very cautious about anything except environmental stocks. We've had two big drops between 2000 and 2010. I remember when Chevy was selling at $2 a share. I waited until my company stock (Gap) was worth more than it was selling for a share when I got the discounted stock and sold it. How old are you? What I have is now in interested bearing accounts in my credit union and we're living on SS.
There's a theory that he's doing it so his buddies can clean up as the stock market bounces around, and although it's far too coherent for him to be doing anything of the sort, I'm sure that's also happening, because there's no bar too low for these assholes
I think that's a totally legit explanation. Same with "who's going to buy up the federal buildings listed for sale this week?". Really? How about the Saudis/Qataris and the Russian oligarchs and whoever else has the disposable capital? It's a fucking government garage sale.
You can absolutely be sure that the insider info is flowing like a river to trumps buddies. The day before some new batshit policy is announced the call goes out and the short sales begin. Next day after the announcement the Dow drops 800 and they put in sell orders and take their profit.
Do this 25-30 times a year and the money starts stacking up.
Exactly, short this today, that tomorrow, break some investors, get institutional lenders to dump something - capital leverage is so intertwined. I just keep thinking about the big short and those fuckers with the 10 layer bets on each other and selling air rights or water futures. Uugh.
Prolly bribed Drimpf to put the big 3 on the exempt list. They’ll deny it, but DumbLeader is 1000% transactional. What’s a couple $mill when it’s a 100k of cars, per automaker per quarter.
To the farmers in particular after fat ass tanked all international sales of many farm products by his stupidity.
Then he gave them hundreds of $Billions of our tax dollars to keep them voting for him. But same as last time many will be in huge debt because their normal markets have fried up so are forced to sell their farms before the Bailout comes.
But let’s not forget that Couchfuck is heavily invested in a company that buys farms from stressed out farmers and then sells the land to Big agribusiness companies. He is jumping for joy with these tariffs because the same scenario is about to play out- hundreds of $Billions of tax dollars given away to trump supporters who suffer from these tariffs.
Non believers can step to the left for a large bowl of Fuck You!
Unpredictable. No shit. Tariffs? Ummm maybe not. Mexico, not now. Canada, yup. Dismantle the Education Department? Yup? But the Chiquita Leavitt says nope. It's a great big goatfuck and I'm going back to bed.
Unpredictability causes gastrointestinal distress in the business community. I’m waiting for the dumb bastards to organize themselves and put the squeeze on Trump.
11/1/24--5728--The Friday before the election. Kamala might win. That would be horrible!
11/11/24--5983--Trump won! He will be great for the economy! S&P is up 4.4%!
1/10/25--5827--Ten days to inauguration. S&P is down again. Investors aren't so sure about Donny.
1/22/25--6118--Two days after inauguration. S&P is up. Happy Days are Here Again!
3/6/25--5738--Oops. Investors realize that Donny is a fuck up. He whipsaws tariff threats and insults our friends and embraces our enemies. S&P is down 6.2% from its high. Back to pre-election level. Investors are now thinking maybe Kamala was a better choice. Can we trade this fuck up?
People who don't understand that republicans don't understand consequences deserve whatever they get, which will, in the final analysis, be bad. You don't believe in climate change, sooner or later, there will be no food.
You know, Jeff, hes doing that because they are telling him how much his food is going to cost him if he keeps it up. The Automotive tariff pause, Im betting that happened because the United Autoworkers told him to sit down and shut the fuck up.
Canadian here.I have American friends and family. So many of us do. We don’t hate Americans.BUT don’t push us around. Trump has managed to make all Canadians stand united even Quebec
Trump is so dumb. He doesn’t understand what trade agreements are. He’s too stupid for that and yet so many voted for him believing his lies. I’m in Spain now for a holiday. I will not cross the border while that turd is in office. Keep up your great work. I love my morning giggle with your missive
@SHEILA ROSE there are so many Americans that stand with Canada 🇨🇦 and the Canadian Citizens against CF47 & his henchmen! We are the ones that didn’t vote for him & I really thought we would win, please accept my apologies for the treatment that you have been receiving!
Not for one moment did I believe Kamala Harris lost the election. It was rigged and PA is kind of in the hot seat right now. Some very suspicious activity at the polls is being brought to light in the MAGA portion.
Those of us that live along the state’s borders say; “You have Pittsburgh, Erie, Scranton, and Philadelphia with Alabama in between.” (Credited to James Carville).
Perhaps those of us who travel to other countries tend to be a bit more enlightened about Donny than those who spend their lives in the same county. In London, a woman overheard my accent and personally apologized for having once stayed in a Trump hotel.
I learned so much when I lived in Wales for 5 years. I was able to travel through Europe, it was very eye opening. The news coverage is much broader, the Ugly American is real- I saw some first hand. They truly believed they had the right to go to the head of lines. My 12 year old daughter adopted a Welsh accent, so, she wouldn't be called an American. Very pitiful.
Back when W was prez, I spent a month in Venezuela. When I met someone, I would say "No soy Bushista" and he/she would say "No soy Chavista" and we'd get along fine.
We have a lot of snowbird friends where I live. They are such fine people. Many are selling off their houses here and we have a glut of homes on the market. Can't blame them but I will miss them.
You know who's going to be buying those homes up? Investment companies, so they can do more rigging of housing costs, and price even more people out of the market... which will get blamed again on Democrats for "not paying attention to the working class". Gotta love unbridled capitalism 🙄
I'm brushing up on mon français and looking into real estate in the Laurentians, because for sure when the invasion happens, the Quebecois will be the fiercest resistance fighters and last to surrender to "English-Only" USA. #ElbowsUpCanada #CoudesEnHautCanada
I, and many other people, are not at all convinced trump was elected. At least not by Americans. There are too many oddball things, for example trump winning ALL the swing states. No; musk stole the election on behalf of trump. Maybe some people stayed home and refused to vote because of Gaza (which was stupid, because look how much “better off” the Palestinians are under trump. At least Harris wanted them to have a country), but that election was a scam. You’re smart to avoid coming to the U.S.. I believe there will be a civil war here and it’s going to get bloody.
Winning all the swing states is the tell that the election was manipulated. So I worry when it looks like the Democratsʻ current strategy is to wait for the 2028 elections. Assuming Donny will allow them to be held, how do we know the same funny business wonʻt take place?
I agree. Someone needs to light a stick of dynamite under them. Ten—TEN—democrats voted with republicans to censure Al Green, the only one of them to stand up to trump regarding Medicaid cuts. Two of the dems were from NY. One of them was Suozzi. I used to live in his district before I moved out of state. I left him a nasty message on his BlueSky account.
Unbelievable. What is wrong with these Dems? Stop joining the firing squad and seriously pick a fucking team and stay on it. No more of this playing both ends against the middle having your cake and eating it too nonsense. Who were the sellouts?
The sellouts were: Reps. Ami Bera (Calif.), Ed Case (Hawaii), Jim Costa (Calif.), Laura Gillen (N.Y.), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Wash.), Jim Himes (Conn.), Chrissy Houlahan (Pa.), Marcy Kaptur (Ohio), Jared Moskowitz (Fla.) and Tom Suozzi (N.Y.).
It's why I have been saying that we cannot wait; we must start running campaigns for the 2026 midterms. I'm sure they are rigging the local election boards--seeding all kinds of MAGA Repubbies and goodness only knows what other fixing and tinkering is being done...
Why does everyone "excuse" Agolf Shitler by saying he "doesn't understand?" "He
's stupid" - which he is but not on this topic. He knows exactly what he is doing. He is relishing in the sheer evil and cruelty. And, his minions are propping him up and supporting him in destroying America. Stop excusing him.
I'm with you. The brutality is the point with Shitler and his cabal in the GOP. MAGA is the fetid underbelly of the American allegiance to white supremacy and control of women. The enabling force is oligarchic rapacity and insatiable greed. Cruel madmen are a dime a dozen in this world.
Your response is certainly appreciated by those of us who voted for Kamala Harris. We know how dumb, dishonest, cowardly and greedy Donald Trump is. He will never improve; in fact, he is showing us how quickly he can become even more horrible.
Keep up the good work in Canada. You're setting a good example. We love you!!!
It appears unlikely, that many Americans, actually voted for placing a clearly mobbed up 78 year old execrable wastrel in office Sheila! We understand that ignorance has plagued our nation, a large number of my friends love Canada, a few are in B.C as I type!!
I'm all for spreading some disinformation on Truth Social and X that says that the air on Mars has been found to extend ones life by 100 years because it is so thin. Only he men can go though, because they have to work their lungs up to being able to breathe that thin air by working out. Musk should go and take Trump with him, and also his buddies Thiel, Bezos, Zuckerberg, and anyone who can make a trillion off of the Trump administration.
Then, the rest of us should stop paying taxes, since there is no one to collect them, and they aren't going to any services except lining the pockets of the departing billion and trillionaires, and then we should take that collective money and 1) buy back all government assets that Trump is currently trying to devalue as quickly as possible before selling them off to his friends for bargain basement prices. 2) build us a government that works for the people.
Thanks for your recognition that Trillionaires exist in this country Linda. Werner Von Braun’s Project Mars was Elons father’s prized possession, naming his son after “The Elon” Ruler of the Mars underground colony. from the book. Elon has picked up the mantle with his under ground boring company TBC, Space X and Starlink companies, which make your post all the more humorous… if it wasn’t for the fact Musk’s fantasy world costs tax payers billions!!
And Bang! That's the sound of Elon's rocket blowing up today. Maybe he should try using the tools our scientists used in the Sixties, no computers, just slide rules, etc. They got us to the moon... and I don't remember that many rockets blowing up.
Yay, more failures and broken rockets means he looks like an idiot. Maybe eventually people will wise up to the fact that he's just a delusion trust fund baby with a drug habit and we shouldn't give him so much free money. The Blue AGs are taking aim at Musk. And I love Texas the state, the beautiful place, my dear friends there but fuck Texas for giving him the run of it. Texas is on its own grid, maybe Texas needs to stop sucking the federal teat and become its own country. Can we give Texas back to Mexico?
I am not on either platform. Will not be on them either. It is a good thing, because apparently it is easy to dupe people on these platforms and I have an active imagination. It would be too tempting.
I've asked often what happens if musk dies, who gets all that shitty money and assets? Do one of his ex wives or children get it OR do the taxpayers get to seize it because we hold the mortgage?
His anus-shaped mouth (Who says God doesn’t have a sense of humor?) should be covered with yellow tape labeling it an EPA Superfund Site. Oh I forgot, the EPA is being shitcanned.
He’s virtually admitted with the car carve-out that it’s a tax on US, not other countries. And yet the magats lap it up. Wonder how awe-struck by the badly-made-up “fart factory” they’ll be when they can’t afford their new truck & their medicaid, medicare, & social security aren’t there.
They lost their shirts and then orange stain gave the farmers a $28 billion bailout to make them whole., which we paid for. He fucked them up and then paid them back and they voted for him again. I suspect big Ag will do fine this time around but the little organic farms all over the northeast will be fucked. I know farmers here are already talking about getting shafted on numerous programs and rebates for investments made and increasing cost of livestock and feed...
At dinner I was telling my husband the story. What we are wondering is how did the tariffs make the price go up on a pickup he already had in his inventory? Where is this pickup from? Pickups seem to be such American produced vehicles, where the term gas guzzling is not in the vocabulary for many. Who else is producing them? We are not understanding this, or why the auto industry would complain to Trump about tariffs, when that should ensure that people are forced to buy American vehicles, where they can then jack up the prices for other reasons. Not clear on this. Can someone please explain?
No tariffs on German, Japanese, Korean vehicles so they will receive a tremendous advantage over a car maybe built here but with many of its parts from either Mexico or Canada.
I heard someone talking about this being a huge issue because previous trade agreements allowed production to cross the borders, sometimes more than once? I also have questions but I get the impression components are in multiple places and things don't get finished where they started? It doesn't really make sense if it's an American made vehicle already on his lot. If buyer made deposit and it had to be transported across the border, then you have an increase upon delivery.
The auto industry put a little flattery on Trump by sprinkling him with fairy dust, and told him how he’s gonna see to it this “mistake” is immediately corrected. Then they kissed his little head and told him, “You’re a very “Special” boy, (idiot)”.
I remember watching that and thinking how he just got trump and others in a mess of trouble. Ari tried to explain that to him, but Navarro was so proud of himself he couldn't stop talking.
Are you kidding? Harvard and the other Ivy League schools let Leonard Leo establish the Federalist Society on those campuses so that they could indoctrinate them!!
I know nothing of this, but do know that Harvard was ranked 3rd out of 436 universities in your country in 2025. One would think that a serious private institution such as Harvard would be inclined to object to lies that Navarro and his ilk are spewing in abetting the Liar in Chief. As well Navarro has an MPA and PhD in Economics and Public Policy, and not a law degree,
Maybe he's not so dumb because he realizes how utterly stupid Trump's supporters and the stay-at-homes are. These morons will still be eating up the OT's lies and blaming Biden and Obama for the OT's fuck ups in 2026
I don’t know. He went to prison for contempt when all he had to do was show up and plead the 5th like all the other sycophants. I think that’s a hallmark of a True Believer.
He's a charter member of the Stanford crime family. It's so sad Stanford is losing so much of its research funding thanks to muck's government cuts. If Condi's still there I hope she loses her job.
🤣 I'm laughing so hard tonight. Sweet relief after a day of wondering if they really are going to shit can the FDIC and where should I put my money - 🍪 jar or mattress?
He’s a dim witted one for sure. I don’t think anybody on either side is happy to see him back. And now we have to see his face and listen to his inanities yet again! Bummer
Which is very rare these days. Yesterday, USA Today took a poll of 451 viewers who watched that shitful lie fest on Tuesday night. The results indicated that in several categories, the approval ratings were 60% or more. WTF? Then at the end, they reported that the respondent's were 21% Democrats, 44% Republicans and 35% Independents. No wonder these polling numbers were so fucking outrageous. Where in the hell do these slanted numbers come from? Probably places like the Florida panhandle.
On the bright side, if 44% of the viewers were registered republicans and only 60% approved, that could mean that some people are probably starting to hate that clown.
I'm especially partial to Jeff's description, in a previous post, of how Donny's especially stupid/nonsensical pronouncements happen when "one of the feral raccoons that live inside Donny's head chews through the wrong wire" *chef's kiss*
One way to do this I have been thinking, is for everyone to apply for Canadian residency and claim that we are all refugees from the United States which is taken over by a Kleptocracy and if we do not leave we will all starve to death and our lives will be in danger.
Meanwhile, the orange sadist has revoked the two-year temporary visas of 240,000 Ukrainian refugees who will soon be forced to return to Ukraine; and has offered emergency refugee status for White Afrikaners from South Africa.
It's incredible how the corporate media is STILL protecting the orange sadist. They got him elected. Now, ENOUGH ALREADY guys! You got what you want. Just leave us alone!!
That fits with Trump's logic which is becoming clearer to me as I read a book called Freedom's Dominion by Jefferson Cowie that my Democrats Abroad book club is reading. The idea is that there is more than one understanding of freedom. There is freedom of the bigger stronger to bully the smaller weaker. Trump is only looking out for White Afrikaners because that is what Musk is. He is punishing Ukrainians who are here on temporary visas. Hopefully other countries will step up and offer them a place to be. Canada should consider it. It is close.
Reminds me that I was discussing with a friend today maybe US citizens in Blue States can go to Canada if Trump tries to annex it, and apply for refugee status as victims of persecution in the US.
Actually, the muskrat is not an Afrikaner. He was born in South Africa (apparently after his MGF, who was a Nazi, fled with his family to Canada; he didn't like the race-mixing there, so he took them to S. Africa). He just very strongly identifies with the Afrikaners, and knows that they would be loyal subjects of the orange sadist. I read somewhere that they don't want to come! LOL
I knew that his grandfather was a Nazi and expelled from Canada, but I also mean Afrikaner, in that he believed in and supported apartheid, not that he was of Boer Dutch descent. While Musk doesn't speak Afrikans, his mother does. So, that makes him a son of an Afrikaner not by descent but by adoption of culture.
Fascinating! I didn't know about his mother's language ability. And he certainly is an Afrikaner is every ugly sense of the word. Plus born in S. Africa.
Immoral. An afront to God. The devil's work. Shameful. Murderous. Just like yesterday when Ukraine was hit by munitions because our military intelligence didn't coordinate with the Ukranian army so they would know where the attack would land. I'm apoplectic about this and how powerless we are to stop the carnage.
I liked to see Illinois as contiguous with Canada through Wisconsin and Minnesota who both have Democratic Governors. I am an Illinoian, who is currently mostly living in Germany. Iowa has changed so much in my lifetime from common sense people, to strange thinkers. I have to go through Indiana to get to friends in Michigan.
Once drove to Indiana State to get paintings for a friend of ours who had broken up with her boyfriend there. I told the friend I went with who was Russian and Jewish, and me with brown skin that we were not stopping at any bathrooms on the way. Just no drink and get to our destination.
Then we went with our friend there to a state fair, and there were pick up trucks in the parking lot, which was a sea of pick ups, that had shotguns hanging in their trucks, and signs that said, "I hunt coons with blueticks." I learned that was a kind of hunting dog, but the double entendre of Coons did not escape me. The only Black people at this fair were safe enough because the people there were so blotto drunk that they could not see straight. One was working in the "spook house." The other was soliciting. Also, the most popular thing there was the John Birch Society tent.
That is how I think of Indiana mostly, except for the beautiful dunes, which is a different world from the rest of the state it seems.
I spent a summer with cousins who’s father got fired from MN job, anyway as we made our way to Indianapolis I said yes but where is downtown like Minneapolis had (1964-ish) that was it was the answer. Next came the Eli-Lilly stink mile rotted eggs. I looked back and no skyline folks it was backwards and my aunt told me Kentucky was referred to as ‘dumb-ass Kentuckians’ so I knew it had to be worse and worse. They left a few years later back to MN where we appreciate Canada.
We lived there for several yrs for my job and hit the road the week the pandemic started. There were lots of good people near broad ripple where we lived but I learned the politics there were skewed the city would absorb each village as it grew and gerrymander the shit out of it. Our Dem neighborhood was caught in a shoestring slice that went from midtown to the outer north GOP suburb so our votes were cancelled out. The white supremacy was explained to me and the neighborhood segregation was clear but it was class seg also - lots of gates and walls.
Measles actually attacks the immune system. It can erase your immunity you have to other diseases (for you who need to know more, read about Memory B Cells). We need a vaccination against spreading stupidity.
@ Susan Niemann You know when “measles parties” were popular? When there wasn’t an MMR vaccine, when most families could get by on one income & Moms didn’t work outside the home!! I was born in 1956 there wasn’t a vaccine yet I had (hard) measles two times & rubella (German measles) three times!! Each time I had them they were worse than the time before!! The people holding these parties now have No idea what could happen to their children!!😳😢🤦🏼♀️
I was born the same year you were. I had Red Measles once, German measles twice, the mumps, and thank you to science for getting the polio vaccines ready in the 60’s. The sugar cube with a few drops of polio vaccines and it tasted good.
They told me red measles was a thing you only caught once. And German measles however many times we got it.
You had Rubella right after measles, normally it would come later in life but I had even forgotten about it. That’s the power of vaccines, irradication
I was born in 49, and, had the measles vaccine. Did get the Mumps and our family doctor came to the house to take care of us (my older sister got it when I did) 3 times. That doesn't happen today.
I’m a 49er too and personally got mumps twice, doc said there are 6 glands that can get them, hence I guess you be tormented 6 times all different locations!
The Prevarication President and his spineless, brain reduced by worm, capitulating head of healthcare, RFK Jr, should be bigly proud of encouraging illness in our country. WTAF? 😱
Killing off the weak is their underlying mission, along with raiding anything of value not nailed down. Americans' average life expectancy is already 7 years less than Europe's and Japan's. And Canadians don't want our sick asses flooding over the border.
There is a fraud on the American people being played. Distracting us with hundreds of line item veto “ex post facto” savings, all of which are illegal. I call for Musk’s certifying the cost and pricing data. That must be required. I call for Musk’s testimony under oath before Congress. I call for him to divulge the truth of what he found. Spare me the BS braggadocio crap. I don’t buy crap when we are talking about a $4.5 trillion tax cut. I say Musk’s ploy is all a fraud founded on a bag of smoke and mirrors and a “bury you in paper” con job. Let us see it. Empty the DOGE bag.
I've gone from being Joe's biggest cheerleader to wanting to bitch slap him across a room. First, in hindsight it's obvious to me that if he had stood up to Vladdie, the invasion of Ukraine never would have happened. Putin would have backed down. Second, he absolutely had the power to stop all this Cheeto Jesus 2.0 bullshit from ever happening. The fact that he just wimped out and handed the country over to that rat bastard will go down as the most cowardly thing any president has ever done.
The head of Jack Daniel’s can fuck all the way off. My husband (a Swede) has dumped out every bottle of American whiskey we have. No more. Actually, I asked him to. I’m sick of Captain Schitzenpants crap and will absolutely buy nothing American. It pains me, I’m American, but grateful that love took me out of the US before it became the total shit hole that these motherfucking monsters have created!
My husband found one — Uncle Nearest — that’s owned and operated by a Black family (present owners great-grandfather started the company). So I backed off asking him to dump it.
No one is making Musk show exactly what he’s cutting and why. Any moron with a chain saw would be locked up anywhere else in the world, but here he has the keys to the kingdom. WTF! Why aren’t the SANE members of the GOP saying anything about this? And why are so many Democrats just lying down like doormats? Are there any adults left in our government?
There's no such thing as a sane Republican. There are Republicans like trump, who are open about what they are, and Republicans like Cheney who lie and pay lip service to optics. They're all the same when it comes to the shit that matters.
@Pamela Gross IMO the “SANE” republicans are just as afraid of CF47 as the magapublicans! And the Democrats….I haven’t a clue why they are acting like beaten dogs and just taking it!! Maybe they don’t realize how to talk with the sane republicans to get on board with some legislation to pass or deny!!
Your BRILLIANT description of a clusterfuck deserves an AWARD!!! “Donny and his toadies-Karoline having a hissy fit” what the hell?!!! I just called Derick Van Orden’s office to ask him not to support abolishing Dept. of Ed…he is a trump suck up, so it will do no good…but I feel better doing it (kinda!).
Me, too. And he demonstrated it’s not about age. It’s about being able to think outside the box of how it’s always been, which of course gives younger people an advantage.
Hi Jeff, let’s talk Ukraine. It appears that our king has halted assistance in money and arms… it appears that our King is talking to the opposition candidates in Ukraine to get rid of Z, a familiar Russian tactic….. And to top it off our King has now decided to basically throw out of our country about 250,000 refugees that the Biden administration took in as a humanitarian effort. It seems our boy King is a Russian asset, destroying our country’s economy, system of government, our allies, our Constitution all to the delight of his Russian masters… it’s no wonder why on Russian TV they call him Comrade Donald… Best to All.
The worst aspect of all this is that nobody's going to want to do business in or with the US, even its own business people. Who's going to want to buy a Dodge franchise or start a small company when business conditions change from day to day? Who wants to sign an agreement with the US when the next president can end it with an executive order?
Additionally, China and Russia will move into the power vacuum and start their own versions of USAID or other aid. Not the way the US does it, either, chiefly altruistically. China will want things in return for their aid - you think Dumpy's demands for mineral rights from Ukraine are bad, wait till China gets their hooks into underdeveloped countries. In six weeks, the US has managed to wipe out any of its credibility.
I’ve read comments from trmp supporters saying they’d rather live under Putin than what they just “endured” under Biden. I’m so confused. Just a few months ago they were calling democrats commies, now they want to be commies? wtf is wrong with these people?
Nah. They're thoroughly immunized from reality, of their own volition. Any hardships that come their way will be the democrats' fault and a sign that Jesus cursed the country for not supporting trump enough.
The whole NPC thing they screeched about a couple years ago? That was projection. They're not people anymore. They're human shaped wind up dolls with extremely limited programming.
No no no, you've got it all wrong. Putin isn't a commie; he's a brutal, lawless autocrat. That's why Donny loves him so much. Putin is his brother from another mother!
oh look, now Donny says he's pausing tariffs on certain Mexican items. the incoherence never ends
Dow down 485pts. (9:25AM PT) Not that anybody in trump's orbit is paying attention to that.
I can’t look at my retirement investments now without crying 😢
The stock market has been so overvalued for ten years, I'd be very cautious about anything except environmental stocks. We've had two big drops between 2000 and 2010. I remember when Chevy was selling at $2 a share. I waited until my company stock (Gap) was worth more than it was selling for a share when I got the discounted stock and sold it. How old are you? What I have is now in interested bearing accounts in my credit union and we're living on SS.
My portfolio is 100% diversified. The money went out of NYSE and into big cap. My wife & I are up 3% for the ytod.
I never did big cap, only mid cap and small cap.
I'm sorry. I took a huge hit the first trump term.
🥺😢
oh hey...none of that matters you know--now that it's Krasnov's doing, it's all just hunky-dory.
There's a theory that he's doing it so his buddies can clean up as the stock market bounces around, and although it's far too coherent for him to be doing anything of the sort, I'm sure that's also happening, because there's no bar too low for these assholes
I think that's a totally legit explanation. Same with "who's going to buy up the federal buildings listed for sale this week?". Really? How about the Saudis/Qataris and the Russian oligarchs and whoever else has the disposable capital? It's a fucking government garage sale.
You can absolutely be sure that the insider info is flowing like a river to trumps buddies. The day before some new batshit policy is announced the call goes out and the short sales begin. Next day after the announcement the Dow drops 800 and they put in sell orders and take their profit.
Do this 25-30 times a year and the money starts stacking up.
Exactly, short this today, that tomorrow, break some investors, get institutional lenders to dump something - capital leverage is so intertwined. I just keep thinking about the big short and those fuckers with the 10 layer bets on each other and selling air rights or water futures. Uugh.
yeah. Cars. At the request of the big 3. Fancy that.
Prolly bribed Drimpf to put the big 3 on the exempt list. They’ll deny it, but DumbLeader is 1000% transactional. What’s a couple $mill when it’s a 100k of cars, per automaker per quarter.
Plus all the bailouts from 2010 and before...
To the farmers in particular after fat ass tanked all international sales of many farm products by his stupidity.
Then he gave them hundreds of $Billions of our tax dollars to keep them voting for him. But same as last time many will be in huge debt because their normal markets have fried up so are forced to sell their farms before the Bailout comes.
But let’s not forget that Couchfuck is heavily invested in a company that buys farms from stressed out farmers and then sells the land to Big agribusiness companies. He is jumping for joy with these tariffs because the same scenario is about to play out- hundreds of $Billions of tax dollars given away to trump supporters who suffer from these tariffs.
Non believers can step to the left for a large bowl of Fuck You!
Uugh. Of course couchfuck is positioned for a windfall in screwing over his rural compatriots.
What a way with words, Ole!
And his supporters say "he's doing this to be unpredictable--it's a good strategy!"
Unpredictable. No shit. Tariffs? Ummm maybe not. Mexico, not now. Canada, yup. Dismantle the Education Department? Yup? But the Chiquita Leavitt says nope. It's a great big goatfuck and I'm going back to bed.
Unpredictability causes gastrointestinal distress in the business community. I’m waiting for the dumb bastards to organize themselves and put the squeeze on Trump.
Idiot wind.
S&P 500 Index Tracking and Investor Attitudes
11/1/24--5728--The Friday before the election. Kamala might win. That would be horrible!
11/11/24--5983--Trump won! He will be great for the economy! S&P is up 4.4%!
1/10/25--5827--Ten days to inauguration. S&P is down again. Investors aren't so sure about Donny.
1/22/25--6118--Two days after inauguration. S&P is up. Happy Days are Here Again!
3/6/25--5738--Oops. Investors realize that Donny is a fuck up. He whipsaws tariff threats and insults our friends and embraces our enemies. S&P is down 6.2% from its high. Back to pre-election level. Investors are now thinking maybe Kamala was a better choice. Can we trade this fuck up?
People who don't understand that republicans don't understand consequences deserve whatever they get, which will, in the final analysis, be bad. You don't believe in climate change, sooner or later, there will be no food.
You know, Jeff, hes doing that because they are telling him how much his food is going to cost him if he keeps it up. The Automotive tariff pause, Im betting that happened because the United Autoworkers told him to sit down and shut the fuck up.
The UAW used to be known for playing VERY hardball. I wonder if there are any old-timers still around…?
They still could be playing hardball. They may have told DelusionalDon the GQP will get not 1 union vote in the pop up elections nor in 2026.
They caved and went full Maggat just before the election. Their reward? This shit show that could cost every last job in the Union.
That’s the smart bastards lining up against these idiotic tariffs. The not-so-smart bastards will be following along in due course.
The CEOs of the big three automakers told him his actions would destroy the entire automotive industry in the US
Donnie's the new Boy Who Cried Wolf. How long until nobody pays any attention to his tariff ravings?
Welp, apparently today was the day, because donnie's beloved stock market stayed at a loss, even after his latest reversal. 😁
great, now we got to have all these mediocre first-administration retreads like Peter Navarro back in our faces. we're so blessed
Canadian here.I have American friends and family. So many of us do. We don’t hate Americans.BUT don’t push us around. Trump has managed to make all Canadians stand united even Quebec
Trump is so dumb. He doesn’t understand what trade agreements are. He’s too stupid for that and yet so many voted for him believing his lies. I’m in Spain now for a holiday. I will not cross the border while that turd is in office. Keep up your great work. I love my morning giggle with your missive
@SHEILA ROSE there are so many Americans that stand with Canada 🇨🇦 and the Canadian Citizens against CF47 & his henchmen! We are the ones that didn’t vote for him & I really thought we would win, please accept my apologies for the treatment that you have been receiving!
🇨🇦🇨🇦 I Stand with Canada!!🇨🇦
Kamala was robbed.
Thank you. Given this country “elected” trump twice, I’m amazed anyone cuts any US person any slack.
Was he actually elected Abbi? It’s becoming more clear daily that might not be the case!!
I agree, every day there is more evidence that the election was rigged by Republicans.
Respectfully; “Well. Duh”.
Not for one moment did I believe Kamala Harris lost the election. It was rigged and PA is kind of in the hot seat right now. Some very suspicious activity at the polls is being brought to light in the MAGA portion.
Those of us that live along the state’s borders say; “You have Pittsburgh, Erie, Scranton, and Philadelphia with Alabama in between.” (Credited to James Carville).
‘Both’?
I've never doubted that Muck put his team of hackers to good use. And he's being paid back a million-fold.
Perhaps those of us who travel to other countries tend to be a bit more enlightened about Donny than those who spend their lives in the same county. In London, a woman overheard my accent and personally apologized for having once stayed in a Trump hotel.
I learned so much when I lived in Wales for 5 years. I was able to travel through Europe, it was very eye opening. The news coverage is much broader, the Ugly American is real- I saw some first hand. They truly believed they had the right to go to the head of lines. My 12 year old daughter adopted a Welsh accent, so, she wouldn't be called an American. Very pitiful.
Back when W was prez, I spent a month in Venezuela. When I met someone, I would say "No soy Bushista" and he/she would say "No soy Chavista" and we'd get along fine.
1000% True!!
We have a lot of snowbird friends where I live. They are such fine people. Many are selling off their houses here and we have a glut of homes on the market. Can't blame them but I will miss them.
You know who's going to be buying those homes up? Investment companies, so they can do more rigging of housing costs, and price even more people out of the market... which will get blamed again on Democrats for "not paying attention to the working class". Gotta love unbridled capitalism 🙄
🙏
That same glut is affecting my exodus Arne, I had hoped for attend Marso Gras, before slipping out of my country, mic further south, Merde!!
"Even with Quebec" - a line has definitely been crossed.
I'm brushing up on mon français and looking into real estate in the Laurentians, because for sure when the invasion happens, the Quebecois will be the fiercest resistance fighters and last to surrender to "English-Only" USA. #ElbowsUpCanada #CoudesEnHautCanada
I, and many other people, are not at all convinced trump was elected. At least not by Americans. There are too many oddball things, for example trump winning ALL the swing states. No; musk stole the election on behalf of trump. Maybe some people stayed home and refused to vote because of Gaza (which was stupid, because look how much “better off” the Palestinians are under trump. At least Harris wanted them to have a country), but that election was a scam. You’re smart to avoid coming to the U.S.. I believe there will be a civil war here and it’s going to get bloody.
Winning all the swing states is the tell that the election was manipulated. So I worry when it looks like the Democratsʻ current strategy is to wait for the 2028 elections. Assuming Donny will allow them to be held, how do we know the same funny business wonʻt take place?
I agree. Someone needs to light a stick of dynamite under them. Ten—TEN—democrats voted with republicans to censure Al Green, the only one of them to stand up to trump regarding Medicaid cuts. Two of the dems were from NY. One of them was Suozzi. I used to live in his district before I moved out of state. I left him a nasty message on his BlueSky account.
Unbelievable. What is wrong with these Dems? Stop joining the firing squad and seriously pick a fucking team and stay on it. No more of this playing both ends against the middle having your cake and eating it too nonsense. Who were the sellouts?
The sellouts were: Reps. Ami Bera (Calif.), Ed Case (Hawaii), Jim Costa (Calif.), Laura Gillen (N.Y.), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Wash.), Jim Himes (Conn.), Chrissy Houlahan (Pa.), Marcy Kaptur (Ohio), Jared Moskowitz (Fla.) and Tom Suozzi (N.Y.).
It's why I have been saying that we cannot wait; we must start running campaigns for the 2026 midterms. I'm sure they are rigging the local election boards--seeding all kinds of MAGA Repubbies and goodness only knows what other fixing and tinkering is being done...
Why does everyone "excuse" Agolf Shitler by saying he "doesn't understand?" "He
's stupid" - which he is but not on this topic. He knows exactly what he is doing. He is relishing in the sheer evil and cruelty. And, his minions are propping him up and supporting him in destroying America. Stop excusing him.
I'm with you. The brutality is the point with Shitler and his cabal in the GOP. MAGA is the fetid underbelly of the American allegiance to white supremacy and control of women. The enabling force is oligarchic rapacity and insatiable greed. Cruel madmen are a dime a dozen in this world.
It is weird…
Your response is certainly appreciated by those of us who voted for Kamala Harris. We know how dumb, dishonest, cowardly and greedy Donald Trump is. He will never improve; in fact, he is showing us how quickly he can become even more horrible.
Keep up the good work in Canada. You're setting a good example. We love you!!!
It appears unlikely, that many Americans, actually voted for placing a clearly mobbed up 78 year old execrable wastrel in office Sheila! We understand that ignorance has plagued our nation, a large number of my friends love Canada, a few are in B.C as I type!!
🇨🇦💪

I am sure there are millions of Americans that stand with Canada. Most of wish we had a Congress that would stand up to this horrible brainless man.
Tariffs need to be put on drumpf's mouth 🥴✌🏻💙
I'm all for spreading some disinformation on Truth Social and X that says that the air on Mars has been found to extend ones life by 100 years because it is so thin. Only he men can go though, because they have to work their lungs up to being able to breathe that thin air by working out. Musk should go and take Trump with him, and also his buddies Thiel, Bezos, Zuckerberg, and anyone who can make a trillion off of the Trump administration.
Then, the rest of us should stop paying taxes, since there is no one to collect them, and they aren't going to any services except lining the pockets of the departing billion and trillionaires, and then we should take that collective money and 1) buy back all government assets that Trump is currently trying to devalue as quickly as possible before selling them off to his friends for bargain basement prices. 2) build us a government that works for the people.
Thanks for your recognition that Trillionaires exist in this country Linda. Werner Von Braun’s Project Mars was Elons father’s prized possession, naming his son after “The Elon” Ruler of the Mars underground colony. from the book. Elon has picked up the mantle with his under ground boring company TBC, Space X and Starlink companies, which make your post all the more humorous… if it wasn’t for the fact Musk’s fantasy world costs tax payers billions!!
And Bang! That's the sound of Elon's rocket blowing up today. Maybe he should try using the tools our scientists used in the Sixties, no computers, just slide rules, etc. They got us to the moon... and I don't remember that many rockets blowing up.
Yay, more failures and broken rockets means he looks like an idiot. Maybe eventually people will wise up to the fact that he's just a delusion trust fund baby with a drug habit and we shouldn't give him so much free money. The Blue AGs are taking aim at Musk. And I love Texas the state, the beautiful place, my dear friends there but fuck Texas for giving him the run of it. Texas is on its own grid, maybe Texas needs to stop sucking the federal teat and become its own country. Can we give Texas back to Mexico?
No, Texas is the lone star state. It should be on its own. California can actually be own its own, I have no idea what you see in Texas.
I do like the idea, but the idea of Trump working out? I almost lost my lunch and I haven't even eaten it yet.
Trump’s work-out involves a knife, fork,spoon and a golf club…Vance tags along to wash his balls Susanna!!
Wash by licking.
GO FOR IT, Linda!!!
I am not on either platform. Will not be on them either. It is a good thing, because apparently it is easy to dupe people on these platforms and I have an active imagination. It would be too tempting.
DO IT, Linda! I cut X out of my life many months ago.
No X ever, or Twitter, or Facebook, or Insta, or ... Just Substack.
Hey, that's two of us!!!
Excellent ideas!!!
I can get behind that, Linda.
Well thought out.
I've asked often what happens if musk dies, who gets all that shitty money and assets? Do one of his ex wives or children get it OR do the taxpayers get to seize it because we hold the mortgage?
His anus-shaped mouth (Who says God doesn’t have a sense of humor?) should be covered with yellow tape labeling it an EPA Superfund Site. Oh I forgot, the EPA is being shitcanned.
🤣😂✌🏻💙
🤣
He’s virtually admitted with the car carve-out that it’s a tax on US, not other countries. And yet the magats lap it up. Wonder how awe-struck by the badly-made-up “fart factory” they’ll be when they can’t afford their new truck & their medicaid, medicare, & social security aren’t there.
Still puzzled that farmers (and others) that got shafted still went for 🟧 2.0… the guys got ‘something’ ppl like?!
They lost their shirts and then orange stain gave the farmers a $28 billion bailout to make them whole., which we paid for. He fucked them up and then paid them back and they voted for him again. I suspect big Ag will do fine this time around but the little organic farms all over the northeast will be fucked. I know farmers here are already talking about getting shafted on numerous programs and rebates for investments made and increasing cost of livestock and feed...
I can’t see any MAGAT tossing $100K for a Ram pickup, but appreciate your sentiment Abbi!!
At dinner I was telling my husband the story. What we are wondering is how did the tariffs make the price go up on a pickup he already had in his inventory? Where is this pickup from? Pickups seem to be such American produced vehicles, where the term gas guzzling is not in the vocabulary for many. Who else is producing them? We are not understanding this, or why the auto industry would complain to Trump about tariffs, when that should ensure that people are forced to buy American vehicles, where they can then jack up the prices for other reasons. Not clear on this. Can someone please explain?
"American-made" cars and trucks frequently incorporate a large percentage of parts made elsewhere
However, how does that raise the price of a vehicle that is already imported here?
No tariffs on German, Japanese, Korean vehicles so they will receive a tremendous advantage over a car maybe built here but with many of its parts from either Mexico or Canada.
That makes no sense.
I heard someone talking about this being a huge issue because previous trade agreements allowed production to cross the borders, sometimes more than once? I also have questions but I get the impression components are in multiple places and things don't get finished where they started? It doesn't really make sense if it's an American made vehicle already on his lot. If buyer made deposit and it had to be transported across the border, then you have an increase upon delivery.
Exactly.
The auto industry put a little flattery on Trump by sprinkling him with fairy dust, and told him how he’s gonna see to it this “mistake” is immediately corrected. Then they kissed his little head and told him, “You’re a very “Special” boy, (idiot)”.
But wait who pays the tariffs on Trump's mouth?
We all do- with our ears, and brain cells which are certainly delt a blow
Navarro admitted on live tv what the original coup plot game plan was. He’s as dumb as they come. Perfect for Orange Fuckwit’s admin .
Yes he did, on Ari Melber’s show!
Yep, that’s where I saw it…. with my jaw hitting the floor as I watched
I remember watching that and thinking how he just got trump and others in a mess of trouble. Ari tried to explain that to him, but Navarro was so proud of himself he couldn't stop talking.
What did he say?!
I wish Harvard would cancel the PhD he was awarded.
Are you kidding? Harvard and the other Ivy League schools let Leonard Leo establish the Federalist Society on those campuses so that they could indoctrinate them!!
I know nothing of this, but do know that Harvard was ranked 3rd out of 436 universities in your country in 2025. One would think that a serious private institution such as Harvard would be inclined to object to lies that Navarro and his ilk are spewing in abetting the Liar in Chief. As well Navarro has an MPA and PhD in Economics and Public Policy, and not a law degree,
You would think that, CAM, but these schools wallow in money from the wealthy so they’re not about to call out one of “their own”.
Maybe he's not so dumb because he realizes how utterly stupid Trump's supporters and the stay-at-homes are. These morons will still be eating up the OT's lies and blaming Biden and Obama for the OT's fuck ups in 2026
I don’t know. He went to prison for contempt when all he had to do was show up and plead the 5th like all the other sycophants. I think that’s a hallmark of a True Believer.
Why are outright admissions ignored - it’s like they all have a donny-pass now
For those of us who didn't see the program, Kay-El, would you please explain very briefly, or provide a link? Would really appreciate it!
https://youtu.be/x6FzlcOqHko?si=i7Tkr3aK1QzmMhET
Happy to look for it.
When I see that idiot, I want to snap his neck.
Rather poignantly Kay_EI!!
I love the work Fucktacular, its so much better than my own word, Craptacular.
Blessed = Fucked
Yes &
Clusterfuck = Clustermusk
Iʻll never forget that one of Navarroʻs political managers in CA said Navarro was the biggest asshole heʻd ever met.
Yeah, well now that asshole joins the other assholes in OUR HOUSE!
He's a charter member of the Stanford crime family. It's so sad Stanford is losing so much of its research funding thanks to muck's government cuts. If Condi's still there I hope she loses her job.
That’s what happens when the National attention span is downgraded to ‘goldfish’… :/
🤣 I'm laughing so hard tonight. Sweet relief after a day of wondering if they really are going to shit can the FDIC and where should I put my money - 🍪 jar or mattress?
Mediocre is being WAY to kind. The guy is a lying Fox dirtbag, like the rest of them. Not mediocre, evil.
porque no los dos?
The DNC should adopt new memes. Maybe the stupids and Elon will grok it.
REJECT STOOPIDIDY!
REJECT ANARKY!
REJECT DISRESPEKT!
REJECT MEAN RUDENESS!
Yes, Navarro was sent to us by God doncha know.
No, Bush.
It's truly horrying to see their dreadful faces again, they are such horrendous thugs
He’s a dim witted one for sure. I don’t think anybody on either side is happy to see him back. And now we have to see his face and listen to his inanities yet again! Bummer
“The impulse control of a coked-up squirrel”
Mr. Jeff, thank you for all that you do every single day to somehow make us laugh in the midst of this apocalypse. You are a treasure.
“yesterday, a White House reporter actually committed a journalism”
Which is very rare these days. Yesterday, USA Today took a poll of 451 viewers who watched that shitful lie fest on Tuesday night. The results indicated that in several categories, the approval ratings were 60% or more. WTF? Then at the end, they reported that the respondent's were 21% Democrats, 44% Republicans and 35% Independents. No wonder these polling numbers were so fucking outrageous. Where in the hell do these slanted numbers come from? Probably places like the Florida panhandle.
On the bright side, if 44% of the viewers were registered republicans and only 60% approved, that could mean that some people are probably starting to hate that clown.
I sure hope some are actually seeing the light.
Maybe everyone should reply to the latest USA Today poll: https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnist/2025/03/06/trump-voters-2024-election-support-president/81161856007/
I wanted to but when USA Today asked if they could publish my name and address, I declined.
And you can be damn sure that was the last day they were invited into the White House briefing room.
I'm especially partial to Jeff's description, in a previous post, of how Donny's especially stupid/nonsensical pronouncements happen when "one of the feral raccoons that live inside Donny's head chews through the wrong wire" *chef's kiss*
That line is why I became a paid subscriber
For Donny Convict there is no pleasure in life superior to jerking our chains.
Well said truths Kathleen!!
+pressing our buttons :/ ‼️🔴
Yes, that's one of my favorites.
Some days that line is all I have
Fuck the idea of making Canada the 51st state. I think the blue states should become a Canadian province.
One way to do this I have been thinking, is for everyone to apply for Canadian residency and claim that we are all refugees from the United States which is taken over by a Kleptocracy and if we do not leave we will all starve to death and our lives will be in danger.
Meanwhile, the orange sadist has revoked the two-year temporary visas of 240,000 Ukrainian refugees who will soon be forced to return to Ukraine; and has offered emergency refugee status for White Afrikaners from South Africa.
Really.... 🙄 why not just ship them all to Guantanamo ?
Oh wait, that stupid idea has been shit canned as well. Optics, it's all about fucking optics for them.
Ok, so send them all back to be killed by "bombs falling on their heads..."
I have never in my life felt such disgust and pain.
Fuck the convicted felon and his slimy cohorts, just fuck them all.
I just read something someone wrote:
F Elon
and
FELON
If any Ukrainian wants to hide in my attic, I'm willing. I don't have any secret rooms, but I can come up with something.
Seriously, I wonder if we could start an underground group doing this. I'm definitely in.
But he’s just ’cozying up’ … 🙄
It's incredible how the corporate media is STILL protecting the orange sadist. They got him elected. Now, ENOUGH ALREADY guys! You got what you want. Just leave us alone!!
EMBOLDENED sadly :/
That fits with Trump's logic which is becoming clearer to me as I read a book called Freedom's Dominion by Jefferson Cowie that my Democrats Abroad book club is reading. The idea is that there is more than one understanding of freedom. There is freedom of the bigger stronger to bully the smaller weaker. Trump is only looking out for White Afrikaners because that is what Musk is. He is punishing Ukrainians who are here on temporary visas. Hopefully other countries will step up and offer them a place to be. Canada should consider it. It is close.
Reminds me that I was discussing with a friend today maybe US citizens in Blue States can go to Canada if Trump tries to annex it, and apply for refugee status as victims of persecution in the US.
Actually, the muskrat is not an Afrikaner. He was born in South Africa (apparently after his MGF, who was a Nazi, fled with his family to Canada; he didn't like the race-mixing there, so he took them to S. Africa). He just very strongly identifies with the Afrikaners, and knows that they would be loyal subjects of the orange sadist. I read somewhere that they don't want to come! LOL
I knew that his grandfather was a Nazi and expelled from Canada, but I also mean Afrikaner, in that he believed in and supported apartheid, not that he was of Boer Dutch descent. While Musk doesn't speak Afrikans, his mother does. So, that makes him a son of an Afrikaner not by descent but by adoption of culture.
https://www.news24.com/life/arts-and-entertainment/celebrities/watch-maye-musk-is-still-fluent-in-afrikaans-20230417
Fascinating! I didn't know about his mother's language ability. And he certainly is an Afrikaner is every ugly sense of the word. Plus born in S. Africa.
😡😡😡😡
Oh no. That's not right.
(Do you mean it's incorrect information? Or do you mean it's immoral?)
Immoral. An afront to God. The devil's work. Shameful. Murderous. Just like yesterday when Ukraine was hit by munitions because our military intelligence didn't coordinate with the Ukranian army so they would know where the attack would land. I'm apoplectic about this and how powerless we are to stop the carnage.
No asylum for Americans on Canada yet as we are deemed a "safe" country under a bilateral agreement. However, give it a minute & who knows?
Speaking as Californian who grew up near the Canadian border, I say let’s do it, eh?
We in Illinois are in - surrounded by 2
Drumpf worshipping states- Indiana & Iowa. Of course, will Canada take over our state pension disaster?
I liked to see Illinois as contiguous with Canada through Wisconsin and Minnesota who both have Democratic Governors. I am an Illinoian, who is currently mostly living in Germany. Iowa has changed so much in my lifetime from common sense people, to strange thinkers. I have to go through Indiana to get to friends in Michigan.
Once drove to Indiana State to get paintings for a friend of ours who had broken up with her boyfriend there. I told the friend I went with who was Russian and Jewish, and me with brown skin that we were not stopping at any bathrooms on the way. Just no drink and get to our destination.
Then we went with our friend there to a state fair, and there were pick up trucks in the parking lot, which was a sea of pick ups, that had shotguns hanging in their trucks, and signs that said, "I hunt coons with blueticks." I learned that was a kind of hunting dog, but the double entendre of Coons did not escape me. The only Black people at this fair were safe enough because the people there were so blotto drunk that they could not see straight. One was working in the "spook house." The other was soliciting. Also, the most popular thing there was the John Birch Society tent.
That is how I think of Indiana mostly, except for the beautiful dunes, which is a different world from the rest of the state it seems.
I spent a summer with cousins who’s father got fired from MN job, anyway as we made our way to Indianapolis I said yes but where is downtown like Minneapolis had (1964-ish) that was it was the answer. Next came the Eli-Lilly stink mile rotted eggs. I looked back and no skyline folks it was backwards and my aunt told me Kentucky was referred to as ‘dumb-ass Kentuckians’ so I knew it had to be worse and worse. They left a few years later back to MN where we appreciate Canada.
MINNESOTA: “Where We Appreciate CANADA 🍁”
nice custom plate
We lived there for several yrs for my job and hit the road the week the pandemic started. There were lots of good people near broad ripple where we lived but I learned the politics there were skewed the city would absorb each village as it grew and gerrymander the shit out of it. Our Dem neighborhood was caught in a shoestring slice that went from midtown to the outer north GOP suburb so our votes were cancelled out. The white supremacy was explained to me and the neighborhood segregation was clear but it was class seg also - lots of gates and walls.
I am soooo ashamed of my home state of Iowa and so damn glad I fled 30 years ago for Minnesota.
I'm all for it
Been my hopes for a long while Stephanie!!
If only.
Those MAGA morons won’t be able to afford 100k trucks anymore, maybe their wives will beat them to death with their own truck nuts.
🤣🤣
Oooo. 🔥 😂😂😂
This is why we have AI. I would truly love to see that video.
😂😂😂
Either that or jam those truck nuts up their ass.
What a fucktastic Friday morning visual, Mike! I’m imagining fed up wives in a KATHY BATES IN “MISERY,” kinda theme.
You completed the visual, Dana!
😅🤣😂😂
Peter Navarro-what a d bag! Now Dump is busy undoing his tariff crap-a supreme waste of time money and American lives. I hate it here. 😩.
And I read that parents are having “measles parties” to infect their children to boost their immune system? We live among the dumbest people on earth.
Measles actually attacks the immune system. It can erase your immunity you have to other diseases (for you who need to know more, read about Memory B Cells). We need a vaccination against spreading stupidity.
Damn….we need that anti dumb vaccine ASAP!
Stupid cannot get fixed. It is a permanent condition...
We've got the 2nd amendment for that.
That's a Judge Judi line! Beauty fades, stupid is forever.
@ Susan Niemann You know when “measles parties” were popular? When there wasn’t an MMR vaccine, when most families could get by on one income & Moms didn’t work outside the home!! I was born in 1956 there wasn’t a vaccine yet I had (hard) measles two times & rubella (German measles) three times!! Each time I had them they were worse than the time before!! The people holding these parties now have No idea what could happen to their children!!😳😢🤦🏼♀️
I was born the same year you were. I had Red Measles once, German measles twice, the mumps, and thank you to science for getting the polio vaccines ready in the 60’s. The sugar cube with a few drops of polio vaccines and it tasted good.
They told me red measles was a thing you only caught once. And German measles however many times we got it.
You had Rubella right after measles, normally it would come later in life but I had even forgotten about it. That’s the power of vaccines, irradication
I was born in 49, and, had the measles vaccine. Did get the Mumps and our family doctor came to the house to take care of us (my older sister got it when I did) 3 times. That doesn't happen today.
I’m a 49er too and personally got mumps twice, doc said there are 6 glands that can get them, hence I guess you be tormented 6 times all different locations!
Where I'm from, that's called child endangerment
Dumber than a 3mile long train of rocks!
I honestly think America is not a safe place to live anymore-we will be overcome with disease and no healthcare that anyone can afford.
Oh Susan- we already there!
😭😭😭😭
Forget our travel/ tourist industry.Who wants to come to a foul-aired and water country that is becoming disease ridden?
I don't come because of the GUNS
I avoid large crowds for that very reason. 🙄
The Prevarication President and his spineless, brain reduced by worm, capitulating head of healthcare, RFK Jr, should be bigly proud of encouraging illness in our country. WTAF? 😱
Killing off the weak is their underlying mission, along with raiding anything of value not nailed down. Americans' average life expectancy is already 7 years less than Europe's and Japan's. And Canadians don't want our sick asses flooding over the border.
All doctors and nurses and janitors are immigrants they will be going, going, gone. Make appointments now get medicine in a year. Show me za papers!
measles parties...😵💫
There is a fraud on the American people being played. Distracting us with hundreds of line item veto “ex post facto” savings, all of which are illegal. I call for Musk’s certifying the cost and pricing data. That must be required. I call for Musk’s testimony under oath before Congress. I call for him to divulge the truth of what he found. Spare me the BS braggadocio crap. I don’t buy crap when we are talking about a $4.5 trillion tax cut. I say Musk’s ploy is all a fraud founded on a bag of smoke and mirrors and a “bury you in paper” con job. Let us see it. Empty the DOGE bag.
https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/empty-doges-bag?r=3m1bs
I call for Musk to be deported! No business being involved in government, even though he did buy Dump.
I wish Biden had canceled his contracts & deported him when he began to publicly break campaign laws last summer/fall.
The way Biden left still has me scratching my head…
I've gone from being Joe's biggest cheerleader to wanting to bitch slap him across a room. First, in hindsight it's obvious to me that if he had stood up to Vladdie, the invasion of Ukraine never would have happened. Putin would have backed down. Second, he absolutely had the power to stop all this Cheeto Jesus 2.0 bullshit from ever happening. The fact that he just wimped out and handed the country over to that rat bastard will go down as the most cowardly thing any president has ever done.
He had all the power then.
Haha doge bag
The head of Jack Daniel’s can fuck all the way off. My husband (a Swede) has dumped out every bottle of American whiskey we have. No more. Actually, I asked him to. I’m sick of Captain Schitzenpants crap and will absolutely buy nothing American. It pains me, I’m American, but grateful that love took me out of the US before it became the total shit hole that these motherfucking monsters have created!
My husband found one — Uncle Nearest — that’s owned and operated by a Black family (present owners great-grandfather started the company). So I backed off asking him to dump it.
"it was only 43 pounds, Karoline" it's giving "sir this is a wendy's" and I love it
No one is making Musk show exactly what he’s cutting and why. Any moron with a chain saw would be locked up anywhere else in the world, but here he has the keys to the kingdom. WTF! Why aren’t the SANE members of the GOP saying anything about this? And why are so many Democrats just lying down like doormats? Are there any adults left in our government?
What sane members are you referring to?
You’re probably right Steve, the sane GOP members are long gone! One can only hope.
There's no such thing as a sane Republican. There are Republicans like trump, who are open about what they are, and Republicans like Cheney who lie and pay lip service to optics. They're all the same when it comes to the shit that matters.
@Pamela Gross IMO the “SANE” republicans are just as afraid of CF47 as the magapublicans! And the Democrats….I haven’t a clue why they are acting like beaten dogs and just taking it!! Maybe they don’t realize how to talk with the sane republicans to get on board with some legislation to pass or deny!!
Your BRILLIANT description of a clusterfuck deserves an AWARD!!! “Donny and his toadies-Karoline having a hissy fit” what the hell?!!! I just called Derick Van Orden’s office to ask him not to support abolishing Dept. of Ed…he is a trump suck up, so it will do no good…but I feel better doing it (kinda!).
I’m very proud of representative Al Green!
Me, too. And he demonstrated it’s not about age. It’s about being able to think outside the box of how it’s always been, which of course gives younger people an advantage.
JOEL as am I!! I think I live in the reddest county in red Kentucky…👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I hate Karoline's simple-minded condescension with a white-hot rage I can barely contain.
Yeah that smug attitude gets her the Sarah Huckabitch award.
It’s time for another Huckabee family picture, that’s one beefy group!
oh how I pray she gets her comeuppance - I am almost acclimatized to trump, but Karoline is a fresh oozing horror
Hi Jeff, let’s talk Ukraine. It appears that our king has halted assistance in money and arms… it appears that our King is talking to the opposition candidates in Ukraine to get rid of Z, a familiar Russian tactic….. And to top it off our King has now decided to basically throw out of our country about 250,000 refugees that the Biden administration took in as a humanitarian effort. It seems our boy King is a Russian asset, destroying our country’s economy, system of government, our allies, our Constitution all to the delight of his Russian masters… it’s no wonder why on Russian TV they call him Comrade Donald… Best to All.
My SS check had Putin’s signature, could there be a mistake?
Yet, the Dems are “The Commies” !
Please MAGA - don’t feed us your bullshit how loyal or patriotic you are.
What you actually are is a train wreck of
hypocrisy and lies!
The worst aspect of all this is that nobody's going to want to do business in or with the US, even its own business people. Who's going to want to buy a Dodge franchise or start a small company when business conditions change from day to day? Who wants to sign an agreement with the US when the next president can end it with an executive order?
Additionally, China and Russia will move into the power vacuum and start their own versions of USAID or other aid. Not the way the US does it, either, chiefly altruistically. China will want things in return for their aid - you think Dumpy's demands for mineral rights from Ukraine are bad, wait till China gets their hooks into underdeveloped countries. In six weeks, the US has managed to wipe out any of its credibility.
“the US has managed to wipe out any of its credibility.” In less than 2 months and it feels like 2 years to me !!
Can't wait until we get embargoed by everyone except Russia and the entire Republican party screams in joy at how much winning they're doing.
I’ve read comments from trmp supporters saying they’d rather live under Putin than what they just “endured” under Biden. I’m so confused. Just a few months ago they were calling democrats commies, now they want to be commies? wtf is wrong with these people?
Those trumpers are in for a big surprise.
Nah. They're thoroughly immunized from reality, of their own volition. Any hardships that come their way will be the democrats' fault and a sign that Jesus cursed the country for not supporting trump enough.
The whole NPC thing they screeched about a couple years ago? That was projection. They're not people anymore. They're human shaped wind up dolls with extremely limited programming.
No no no, you've got it all wrong. Putin isn't a commie; he's a brutal, lawless autocrat. That's why Donny loves him so much. Putin is his brother from another mother!
PINO can't be a brother. He's too dumb to be related.
Ok, fair point
His body language when they are together doesn’t exactly say ‘love’?…
They left objective reality behind a long ass time ago. In christianland reality changes to whatever Dear Leader says it is.
A lot.
The Zombie Apocalypse is here and it is them
I predict the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics will only have USA, Russia, Belarus, Hungary, Iran and North Korea competing.
You could be right. Will they be checking for any drug use?
