At this point, I don't think 77 million people actually voted *for* this dipshit. I think they voted *against* the brown candidate who doesn't have a penis (even a little mushroom dick like Stormy talked about)
They are already being WOKEn up from what I understand. The birth rights citizenship deal is making clear that being on the right side of the law was never what it was about, and being naive is not a way to live a long life.
I was FURIOUS that they voted against Kamala. The two things I kept hearing were: from the men, "Women are too emotional"; and from the women, "Abortions are wrong". Well, I guess you gets what you pays for.
they sure are...I used to always champion for them. But now, I can count on one hand and still have fingers left over on Hispanics (I personally know) who voted democrat. So it makes it very difficult to sympathize with them when they suffer their own consequences. They will all learn. And I am referring to all races who voted for that orange urine soaked stain.
James, same. Door knocking for Kamala every single Hispanic person was a big CF supporter. Polite, but when I brought up 15 million deportations, all Hispanics claimed "no, only criminals!". Some had children translating for them, so possibly immigrants.
Palestine deserves its own state, Obama and Biden both expressed the importance of this happening the last dozen years although, I’ve never been certain that those were truthful words, or simply political rhetoric!!
Israel is undoubtedly going to have a military presence, since Gaza is still run by Hamas, I’d be surprised if Israeli settlers aren’t drooling over the opportunity to grab as much of the territory as they possibly can Mary!!
I know. Makes me so angry. They don't really want peace if they keep pushing Palestinians into a corner. Two State Solution!! Stop the senseless bloodshed!
I couldn’t agree more, P123Sunny. We will need to change how we engage with voters. It is a different world now. On a bright note, however, I like my neighbor’s new yard sign…”Hate Will Not Make Us Great”.
Right on P123, aided by Putin (Russian) mass disinformation sites and bots, Dems don’t have the outside expertise, those who happen to excel in sabotaging global elections!
The fact remains that not one Democrat challenged the results of this election, it felt eerily like they were complicit!!
And I’m gonna throw some shade at the Arab/Muslim community for deciding that they could just dog paddle through another 4 yrs of this unholy shit, rather than vote for Kamala, & so they either voted for the anus-mouth or stayed home. 🤬
Don't forget the functionally illiterate Americans. Fucking stupid!!!! Period. It's described as classic invincible ignorance fallacy. Refusing to consider immutable contradictory facts to the contrary.
My friend and I were talking about the price of eggs today. Let us chart the cost on a graph and post it up on MAGA signs, to remind them that accepting divisiveness and "showing us," was not truly tied to the price of eggs.
I wish! The fucking raccoons killed my chickens 2 years ago. The area we had them looked like Riker's Island. They still got in. I was chasing them with a golf club. Screaming and swearing. 🤣
You have to have then on a cement slab, because weasels will tunnel under, then snakes and others will get in. we set a live trap near a hole they were making in a wall and nabbed one when it came in. You can tell if it weasels because they won't eat them just kill them all and suck their blood. Fucking vampire shits.
Did you watch that documentary about them? What a bunch of perverts. That's where I learned about the Joshua Generation. Sick bunch. Huckabee's best friends. Pedophiles and religions seem to come together like peanut butter and jelly.
Reading some of the MAGA ignoramus comments on the Fox video on Youtube of Trump's full speech to Davos was torture! I couldn't make it through the first couple of dozen without wanting to stick pins in my face and jump off the deck! Warning to self - never ever do that again!!
Lol!! I hear ya! I need a crash cart. I feel my IQ dropping to the ground and exploding. That's why I don't do social media. It's bad enough when I have to converse with one in person.
Wealth inequality plays into many things Patrick. I keep hearing about young men being in crisis, but wealth inequality doesn’t seem to come into the conversation. It’s central to the difficulty faced by men growing up. You aren’t going to win the girl of your dreams if you are wage slave working close to minimum wage. That’s the reality faced by a lot of guys.
💯💯💯 what upsets me even more than all these Maga morons here is how the world is laughing at the US. Who would’ve thought that we would be the laughingstock of the world with this clown being voted in albeit less than half the population?
And 93 million eligible did not vote. While I know some were disenfranchised in various ways, some of the millennial men I know feel well off enough that they were not compelled to vote and did not, and do not. Will this be the election to shake their belief in thinking they will be just fine?
Yes, it wouldn't have taken that many more to put Harris over the top. 1/3 of the population didn't vote, yet Trump did not even make it over 50% of the ones that did. Don't know who the third party voters would have voted for if we hadn't had other idiots on the ballot - JFK the junior, Green Party woman farce, etc. Honestly, though, it's the voter intimidation and gerrymandering that has to be dealt with at some point if we ever get full Democratic control again.
There were several younger acquaintances who I’d call soft Democrats who voted 3rd party to mark their disapproval of the Gaza handling. It was mentioned many times of the dangers of voting 3rd party, especially with trump as a candidate. One whiner in particular said that he considered it “emotional abuse” to be “harassed” on his “no” vote for Kamala/Walz. I so wanted to give him a real reason to whine.
Tried to tell them that several times but there was always a criticism about Democrats. Well duh, that’s valid but compare that to trump and the Dems issues look imminently solvable. But they voted for Jill Stein (ugh) or RFK Jr. (WT actual F!?) I ended up thankful several of them weren’t FB friends of mine and those that were were unfollowed for 30 days.
Too much Russian propaganda pumping them up, making them feel righteous, Gaza was a clusterfuck and horrible, but they fell for the way to make it worse, depending on others to counter their foolishness and save them from the consequences of their own actions.
Sorry, typo, it's RFK the Junior. And, yes, Stein endorsed Trump but she was on the ballot in quite a few states with a lot of the Greens not recognizing her change over. Although I think she had converted to a fascism position the first Trump go-around with that picture of her with Putin in Russia with the MAGAs. Just like RFK and Tulsi Gabbard. They change their positions on a whim for the donations and attention. Stein's lived on campaign donations for quite a while. They all fit with the weird conspiracist and fantasizing type brains of so many of the MAGA.
...some say it was also a 'whole cohort' of certain white ppl voting to show up other white ppl ("we know best!" / "in your face!")... starting to wonder how much truth might be in that...
I think we've come to accept a false narrative about this. Can we roll tape of inauguration where DJT thanks auntie EM for his technology fixing PA was it? The math doesn't add up, where are the 18m new voters (only 6 of which were GOP a month before election)? On top of the supposed 10m+ who didn't show up from 2020? Where was the outcry from the legacy press about voter suppression? The "nothing to see here" after bomb threats on voters? Accepting the idea he won is the first step in obeyance. I'm not willing to concede. Pls roll tape of the look of surprise on his face after election was called. And then recall months of him blathering about arnold Palmer's penis and sharks and nobody showing for his rallies. Think about what you saw. If it seems unbelievable maybe it is.
I said it immediately after I saw/heard the results, he cheated. Comments he made several times earlier in speeches “don’t need to vote, etc” No way he won legitimately
Me too. The democrats won’t fight though. They’ll get no more money from me (talking bout you Act Blue) But I will donate to Jasmine Crockett and AOC, they know how to serve back up as good as they get.
Remember how quickly the swing states came out with their vote totals? It usually takes days or weeks. There was fuckery. Of that there is no doubt. He did not win honestly.
There's at least your margin and then some. And that's just the ones who were purged "wrongly", what about voter intimidation? What about people who were purged according to laws that are discriminatory? What about gerrymandering? Remember, every accusation is an admission. DJT is a stooge and an FBI informant against the NY mob. Let's start there. My problem is with the language when MSNBC host says "a majority of people voted for trump". Even if it was true, a majority of voters would be accurate, not a majority of registered voters or a majority of eligible voters...c'mon. if you're going to advance narratives that blame Dem voters and candidates for the current morass, at least make them plausible.
i totallay agree with that. Ive brought it up many times , even in this forum only to be scolded and told I was too conspiracy-thinking....even by fellow dems.
Im usually not one to be a sore loser but something about this election did not hit right.
It was the Elon-factor in the equation that made this election jaded.
If this was just DoTard vs the Kamala I think we would have seen a much different outcome
The only reason they think it's a conspiracy theory is because they aren't doing the math. I seriously sat down and looked up all the figures for the last 6 elections, pop., reg voters, eligible, votes per party, and that newly registered number reported out at 18m a month before. It just doesn't square.
Um, they called California for Kamala about 11/6/24, 8:02pm. I was surprised, but I know my state. However, some of the house candidates took weeks to count.
It makes no sense that Trump won all seven swing states. Again, I think when you cheat on an exam, you get a few wrong so that you don’t raise eyebrows. They just did a run the tables maneuver that was over eager. I just don’t understand why Kamala and Biden did not look into it. It makes absolutely no sense and there was too much at stake to just back down and concede. Massive mistake on my book.
That's the 57k question, right? It makes no sense on the face of it given whats been happening since 2020 not to demand recounts and look into things before turning the keys over. Why are Dems so demure? What do they stand to lose, who's has been threatened by what, why is Biden pardoning his family members, these are real questions. Am I missing something? AOC and Crockett seem to be the only people really sinking their teeth into a strong counter narrative. What on earth are minority leaders mumbling about and where the fuck is that stupid twit George Clooney now? Bidens too old to run but they're all ok with the present situation as per Jeff's thorough detailing of the sundowner in charge?
I do go alone with Biden pardoning his family considering the actual details and how he was railroaded just to hurt his father. The MAGAs were going to continue to try anything to throw at Hunter - it got too out of hand and dishonest. Trump is so retaliatory he would have made up anything he could to also go after Biden's wife or daughter if he couldn't get Hunter.
I don't disagree with the pardons at all, I think Hunter would have died in custody if he let them get at him, like Jeffrey. But it's crickets over these pardons in the press and the existing threats maybe should be bullhorned...and why not garland and smith or Biden himself? Because they have the goods on DJT. Suddenly Mr threats is only picking on the disabled and immigrants, nothing about these players who know everything about his assholery.
AND doesn't anyone recall that he was a failed casino owner? Casino. Where they take your money for nothing on gambling and games or chance. If anyone knows how to cheat people, it would be a casino owner. Add that to the pathology report. I think you're right about running too many tables at once and they all hit the numbers by just enough? Nobody said he couldn't do numbers. Brad, just find this number?
I live in one of those swing states and campaigned for Harris/ Walz - the campaign was so exciting I was sure she would win. But then when walking my dog I ran into a young mother I know and she told me she voted for Trump. Against everything that was in her interests, but she didn’t know that. So … with FOX news spewing so much disinformation, I just don’t know.
And TikTok. It was really gross to see what a friend showed me with the lies on TikTok. Add a few popular MAGA blogs in there and we've got a real mess to fight.
I agree, it's hard to 'know' because the seeds of doubt were planted for 4 yrs and yes people of all stripes were voting for trump, but the newly registered voter numbers are not accounted for and just that constant sowing of doubt narrative re 2020 and focusing on the Jan 6 committee findings instead of press scrutinizing what was going on in current time with the same vigor. Jeff is right about the press for sure. Keep yelling about one thing while you do another, like a slight of hand. Either outcome becomes 'plausible'. It's orwellian for sure.
Eye-opening article by Greg Palest and his research that by his numbers prove Harris would have won without voter suppression. I didn't know some states never bother to check and count provisional ballots. https://hartmannreport.com/p/trump-lost-vote-suppression-won-c6f
Basically, somehow, we all have to fight to get honest voting systems and to suppress what happened in GA and other states with vigilantes "reporting" so-called "illegal" voters without their knowledge, along with fighting for better laws against voter suppression. Everyone needs to double check their eligibility at least 6 months before an election, or dependent on what the state requires, to make sure they haven't been purged.
Palast says forget about the Musk voting machine crap. Yet, I had read somewhere that those with enough electronic knowledge and an inside edge could easily convert votes as they're transferred to the mainframe system. Why did Musk spend so much time in PA election sites checking out the voting equipment? All we needed for Harris to win was PA.
Now some dipshit senator has proposed a bill to let trumpf and any future presidents serve 3 terms. Also Project 2025 is now called America First and guess who is besties with the president of the Heritage Foundation? Pres Kevin Roberts is Jd Vance’s good friend. Anyway, it’s nice to see trumpf make a fool of himself on the World Stage and not just at home.
I got torn up by Dem's on another site for even questioning that there could have been shenanigans, especially with Musk's involvement. Apparently, some Dems don't want to be thought of as poor losers. It was proven beyond a doubt that Trump did not win in 2020, even though he still fakes out his voters otherwise. But, if we can't prove that our elections are honest, then we can never trust any results. I would like to see an independent investigation about Trump's statements about Musk and PA, even if it means using independent investigators from outside the US.
Where he thanks Auntie EM for Pennsylvania was a real shocker. It got very little mention anywhere. People didn’t hear it unless they watched the whole speech. (I don’t imagine even his voters did that.) Was he serious? Or just a tease as part of his strategy of chaos?
I thought he did look surprised that he won. Both times. Yes, please roll the tape.
I just read a piece by Thom Hartmann saying that voter suppression was the reason Kamala lost. He explained that she would have won Pennsylvania, Georgia, and a couple of other states if so many votes had not been thrown out for reasons that were very trivial, and black people were targeted for signatures that didn’t exactly match, or they didn’t return a postcard that looked like junk mail. She would have won the election if not for voter suppression.
The Democrats ignored the multiple requests to challenge the vote. I think they decided that the potential for “violence”? and a civil war was too high CONSIDERING the probability that those in charge of the Democratic side didn’t have the stomach to do what was necessary as they were dealing with an ongoing insurrection. I think that the Democrats in charge were of the physical age and long term history to believe that the American people themselves would have the moral character as we always have when our country was threatened to pull together as a Nation and defeat a threat against our Democracy! That democracy which celebrates the Consent of The Governed to be overseen by a democratic representative government.
No one elected DOGE
No one elected the Billionaires
If our Representatives and Senators and Executive Branch and Judges take and oath swearing Onto God!! We expect them to abide by it. Just as we the people are expected to abide by the laws of this country and God.
Thou shalt not kill
Thou shalt not stea
Thou shalt not lie
Government is a mutual agreement. Representatives work for the people to maintain secure borders. That’s on our national monuments.
To the Christian Nationalists
Jesus instructed Peter to
Feed my lambs
Tend my sheep
Feed my sheep
Jesus did not say to cut WIC or food cards or health care, or taking care or your elderly as in honor your mother and father.
So can someone explain to me why the Dems DID NOT do what T and Reps would have done in a second if the shoe were on the other foot? No one seemed to speak up, ask for recounts, investigate (e.g., Elon knowing the final vote at 4 on?), nothing. I don’t get it. It felt the Dems were against the Dems, too.
That's what I've been wondering! It seems no one is questioning anything. How can that be??? Also elon saying before the election that trump better win or he'll probably be going to prison??? At least I think I heard that.
Where was Merrick Garland? He and his team should have devoured every instance of foul play and held up the election until it was cleaned. There should never have been a concession that was so effing stupid.
That's never going to happen. I watched some of the Davos speech. Klaus Schwab (grifter) runs the group without any accountability. His rules are loyalty, guile, and sex appeal. His managing board has been reported as a vipers nest. This group meets to slap each other on the back to congratulate each other on pilfering the people. It's all a front. They welcomed Shitpants with open arms and applause. I hope when Klaus dies, he takes his money laundering Davos platform and buries it alongside of him.
I still think that displaying Trump's ignorance and mendacity on the world stage so early in the term should make most Americans hang their heads in shame. I'd like to travel -- what's the best way to signal, "Yeah, I know. I didn't vote for him."
There used to be bumper stickers that said Question Authority. Can probably get one now, but I am hesitant to put anything on my car now for fear of damage done by some maga jackass.
See I'm not so sure. He's a POS loser by ANY objective and observable measure. I think the GOP vs Dem thing is over, it's from WWF wrestling. I'm asking who's with him? It's not just what we see, guaranteed. The fix is in. He's a wet waffle. Just look at him...and from his twitter twatter it seems like none of his international bully friends are backing him up? Idk. I'm looking for the mole or the hole in the fence...
Susan, I have been saying that the word describing how Americans are going to feel in the world is shame over our leader and the people he is choosing to have as representatives of us in the world. That is, only those of us who have enough sense to, as Trump and his henchmen represent the US around the world.
Luckily because I live abroad and talk politics a lot, no one I know is asking me what do I think, and am I glad Trump won, like my daughter's classmate asked her.
I am grateful that Bloomberg, whom I never liked much, being an Oligarch and too much of a capitalist for my taste is keeping us in the Paris Climate accord on his own dime and initiative. That is the stuff of resistance. He sees how Trump was not president and made policy for 4 years both inside and outside of the US, and also how Trump is so eager to join the Broligarchy that he is not going after anyone who pays up.
Absolutely agree! And when 80% of those 77 million realize what they did and have voter regret, all we can tell them is if they had listened, he told them repeatedly what he planned to do and now he’s doing it. I still can’t believe there are so many ignorant people in this country!
I DON'T believe that 77 million people voted for this shit. Just in the last couple days, the donvict has again made reference to the fact that Elmo is very good with computers, especially those connected with vote counting.
True Denise, how many voters votes were purged from entering the ballot box? There are estimates that point north of the hundreds of thousands! Guardian posted investigation journalist Greg Palast article that should give pause to the election results. I read his website, check it out:
Fearless Leader, trumpty dumpty, is hard at work de-programing his cult followers - so it shouldn't take long. Mexican Americans are already in panic flight.
Usually when oil drops that far, there's a recession going on. I remember the one from the early 2000s - my then 10 year old son said "well, mom, at least gas is cheap".
Once again, the anus- lipped felon got what's left of his shorted out wires crossed. There's hardly any mention of Dump's threat to the Saudis during his last disasterous term about cutting oil production by 10% or they'd lose their defense funding. Now we have his drill baby drill bullshit when in fact more oil was produced when Biden was in office. Since Biden banned 625 million acres offshore from future drilling, we have to wonder where fuckface is planning to get all of this oil?
Not to mention what I said, when the price of something gets too low to make a profit, econ 101 kicks in, production is either curtailed or stops. If I were the Saudi's, I would probably tell him to come over and we'll talk with "Chain Saw Mow-Hamid" and you can work out a deal with him, he's good a "cutting" a deal.
He’s a life-long racist & follower of Hitler, and Heritage Fdn wants a white Christian country. It’s a toxic combination, one everybody but white Christian men who fear their own mediocrity will regret.
When one man hoards $440B and numerous people go without, it is clear that the focus of the Felon-followers is absurd. Focus on why one man is allowed to keep that wealth with unfair taxes. If he gave away $350B, he’d still live extremely lavishly. But sure…trumpanzees focus on people looking for $10/hr work.
But they were HIS terrorists. The abortion clinic bombers and doctor-murderers were not strictly his people, since he doesn’t care deeply about children, unborn or otherwise. But even now he thinks his voters will appreciate his gesture of those pardons.
It’s time for the military to stop their dereliction of duty. Arrest this seditionist occupying our White House. Follow the Constitution you pledged to. Use arms as needed! ENOUGH!
Felon trump is unqualified for office. None of his proclamations should be followed!
someone on X tried to convince me that that was a money-saving measure - website space costs, you know. (I think it's an alarming development - days into office and the constitution vanishes from govt website.......)
That's the funniest--and scariest--commentary on this so far! Of course, he'll eventually claim to have discovered it, just as he discovered that Puerto Rico is an island, "surrounded by water; big water".
Biden could have…you’re right. Maybe he was too old and tired to make one last attempt to make it right? 🤷🏼♀️ We’re doomed if the Democrats dont get their shit together.
I think Biden was too much of an institutionalist to act to stop fascism. Age may have contributed to him being stuck in the ways it’s always been done, but I think that’s always been who he is. People voted for his empathy & experience in 2020, not his boldness or willingness to think outside the box.
Exactly. That’s how we got Clarence Thomas lo those many years ago. He wanted to be go-along to get-along Joe. I wonder if he ever regrets championing him or thinks how the Supreme Court might be today.
Jack Smith’s report also talks about how the system hampered Garland, from obstructive FBI (Biden could have fired Wray for cause if he hadn’t been so afraid of the appearance of lack of DOJ independence) to SCOTUS. J6 would have gone to trial 10 months ago, and even if it had been 18 months sooner the case would have made its way back to SCOTUS after lower courts ruled on whether the revised charges violated Donny’s immunity. I think it was Cliff Schechter who pointed out DOJ should have been at a mic reminding the public that the case was active every day because the public has a 10-second attention span and only a slightly longer memory.
The laughingstock of the world 2.0. It’s publicly unfolding on the world stage. We didn’t expect him to suddenly make sense or create new narratives to explain why he has not and cannot keep his promises for Day 1 . The blusterfuck was and ever will be. He has his brown shirts. Thank Dog we have each other and Jeff. We must not run out of fucks to give.
There is a lot of anger & outrage out there. Did you hear about the one J6er who will not accept felon trump’s pardon? She said what they did was illegal & wrong & insults capitol police & the nation. Let’s hope that is a seed of change.
"are these soldiers — not just young and beautiful, but big and strong, their massive biceps riddled with bullet holes — are they coming up to Donny with tears in their eyes, and going ‘sir! sir! the ground is so flat and there’s nothing to hide behind. we’re so tired of getting shot. can’t you send us to Greenland instead? they have all kinds of rocks and shit. sir!’"
Jeff, I'm lucky I wasn't drinking my tea when I read this, or it would have ended up all over my phone. Thank you for bringing levity to a dark time. You are a living treasure, sir.
This is eugenics 101. When they complain about dei what they really did is flush all disabled out of public employment (calls to end remote which is an ADA accommodation), encouraging private employers to do the same, and then cutting off all civil rights cases at doj which in large part are disabled people suing over ADA accommodations, which is the only mechanism of enforcement in labor and housing. It's a fucking disaster for lgbtq et al and the disabled. Add immigrants and this looks like a eugenics and ethnic cleanse with zero legal recourse despite the actual laws on the books. He told his nephew to euthanize his disabled son because he wasn't worth the resources to keep him alive. A special place in hell for this one and his minions.
CF hopefully will get swept up in multiple nets of fuckery & stupidity and be forced to change his focus. I'm sorry you & the trans community are constantly being harassed by this vile felon. I am glad you are part of our community here. 🧑🤝🧑👭👬👫
Alethia, hoping you have STRONG self defense weapons and try to always travel in groups. You should not have to do this, but here we are. I got a $6.95 keychain pepper spray from eBay. You probably want something more lethal.
Just like the poor folks who will have to deal with dear leader when he arrives here today in SoCal to check out the massive fire damage. Since he doesn't give two shits about anyone here in CA or anywhere else, he'll make it all about himself with the usual photo ops.
If the So Cal fires started in wildland, they didn't start in the forest, because "National Forest" in So Cal is generally bushes. Now there is video indicating the Eaton fire started underneath a transmission tower. Doesn't that mean it was maybe caused by a private company that didn't clear and rake land it controlled? Doesn't Trump think private companies should do whatever the hell they want?
Southern California Edison (again) neglecting their equipment and failing to clear surrounding vegetation. They can add the Eaton Fire to the devastating Woolsey Fire and many, many others in the last few decades.
Jill, if SCE can be proven to have caused the fire, like PGE in 2018's Camp Fire, they can be sued for damages in court. Camp Fire victims, including businesses, rec'd billions of $$ to reimburse them from losses.
Jeff, "hero of the day" is an awesome addition. We all need a little something to remind us that courage comes from within - and more often than not, from within very "ordinary" people. Thank you.
It's actually good news that Donny got to dither at Davos, because now the World Economic Bros and some of the international press are fully aware of his dementia, and that's toothpaste that won't fit back into the tube. I'm hoping for a repeat performance at the SOTU message on March 5, though I fear his handlers will try to weasel him out of a speech in favor of a written report that President Musk will likely compose.
I still maintain that the Project 2025 folks know damned well that The Tangerine Terrorist is brain fried and that by this time next year, they'll get the Rs to do the 25th Amendment cha-cha-cha, putting the Heritage Project Stooge, Juvenile Delinquent Vance, as president.
Then we go from "Country screwed by a dottering old doofus" to "Country screwed by the puppet of a Christo-Fascist Oligarchy that won't be stopped."
The economic forums in the U.S. and globally appear to be shifting their support in favor of oligarchs, whom they admire for their wisdom and power to "take all." It's like the horror movie where the merchants take bets on who can make the Village Idiot (Trump) climb the bell tower and ring the bell for them. Davos is the surrender of the U.S. government to accepting a secondary role in geopolitics and economic influence, with the oligarchs stepping in to fill the void. Democracy isn't even an issue.
but i thought joe was 'too old, frail and in serious decline...?' i was told that ad nauseum AFTER ONE crappy debate (see: fetterman's debate btw!). j*rks
The substance of Trump’s Davos speech was very concerning. The President of the United States told economic leaders that the U.S. economy was very bad, over leveraged, and near collapse. These are the folks who buy U.S. debt for security, who invest in U.S. businesses, who negotiate trade agreements. Our president is supposed to be America’s cheerleader. Trump is our greatest detractor. This should be front page news in every newspaper and the lead story on every newscast. Donald Trump is shit talking the American economy to foreign financial leaders. It is an insult to our nation.
Fortunately, they don't believe him. Like Trudeau, who just went to Mar-a-Lago and sat through the humiliation, went back to Ottawa and focused on the tariff problem. Took him all of 2017 to fix that and Trump is far crazier now.
Where are all the headlines and stories about this in corp media? The man is nakedly insane on the world stage. News flash. He is not an emperor who can remove heads at a whim. Stop sniveling and start reporting the facts. The president is insane.
"people can grow and change, and we should celebrate them when they do.”
Thats a beautiful way to end the week….we need more Pam Hemphills.
I still cant believe that 77 million Americans voted for this shit. I wake up with dread, wondering what fresh hell is going to be served up today.
Survive the weekend, everyone. I’m damned grateful for this community.✌️
At this point, I don't think 77 million people actually voted *for* this dipshit. I think they voted *against* the brown candidate who doesn't have a penis (even a little mushroom dick like Stormy talked about)
Completely agree. If Kamala wasn’t brown skinned and a woman, she would have won. America: the land of racism, bigotry and misogyny. 😢
The large Hispanic population who all voted for Trump are in for a rude awakening.
I wake up with dread every morning too.
The hispanic community sure is in for a rude awakening. #FAFO
They totally fucked themselves!
As we saw yesterday in New Jersey, having citizenship papers doesn't mean anything if your skin is brown.
They are already being WOKEn up from what I understand. The birth rights citizenship deal is making clear that being on the right side of the law was never what it was about, and being naive is not a way to live a long life.
I was FURIOUS that they voted against Kamala. The two things I kept hearing were: from the men, "Women are too emotional"; and from the women, "Abortions are wrong". Well, I guess you gets what you pays for.
100% sure she lost?…
Agreed Linda!!
Something about leopards not eating my face . . .
they sure are...I used to always champion for them. But now, I can count on one hand and still have fingers left over on Hispanics (I personally know) who voted democrat. So it makes it very difficult to sympathize with them when they suffer their own consequences. They will all learn. And I am referring to all races who voted for that orange urine soaked stain.
James, same. Door knocking for Kamala every single Hispanic person was a big CF supporter. Polite, but when I brought up 15 million deportations, all Hispanics claimed "no, only criminals!". Some had children translating for them, so possibly immigrants.
Never underestimate the power of brainwashing.
And misogyny and racism.
So did the ones who were "uncommitted" for Gaza. Now Gaza will be grazed and turned into an Israeli hotel.
Palestine deserves its own state, Obama and Biden both expressed the importance of this happening the last dozen years although, I’ve never been certain that those were truthful words, or simply political rhetoric!!
Israel is undoubtedly going to have a military presence, since Gaza is still run by Hamas, I’d be surprised if Israeli settlers aren’t drooling over the opportunity to grab as much of the territory as they possibly can Mary!!
Trump is sure going to give it to them.
I know. Makes me so angry. They don't really want peace if they keep pushing Palestinians into a corner. Two State Solution!! Stop the senseless bloodshed!
Where are the protestors?…
I’m with you Susan, the Russian Tail supports your thoughts!!
Knowing the willfully ignorant, racism, misogyny, and wealth disparity that exists in this country, I’m unsurprised!!
Especially since the Spanish-language pages from WH.gov are 404'd. Gone with the wind, as they say.
You break it, you bought it. Enjoy being treated like a second-class non-citizen.
So do I Susan.
I couldn’t agree more, P123Sunny. We will need to change how we engage with voters. It is a different world now. On a bright note, however, I like my neighbor’s new yard sign…”Hate Will Not Make Us Great”.
Right on P123, aided by Putin (Russian) mass disinformation sites and bots, Dems don’t have the outside expertise, those who happen to excel in sabotaging global elections!
The fact remains that not one Democrat challenged the results of this election, it felt eerily like they were complicit!!
Racism and misogyny will…make that IS….our undoing. :(
That and Citizens United.
And Patriarchal bullshit religion.
And I’m gonna throw some shade at the Arab/Muslim community for deciding that they could just dog paddle through another 4 yrs of this unholy shit, rather than vote for Kamala, & so they either voted for the anus-mouth or stayed home. 🤬
Wait until they find out that Trump plans to stay dictator of the United States indefinitely. 🤬
Don't forget the functionally illiterate Americans. Fucking stupid!!!! Period. It's described as classic invincible ignorance fallacy. Refusing to consider immutable contradictory facts to the contrary.
Is there a drug for that? 😂😂😂 Maybe when their prescriptions go through the roof and gramma cant afford her insulin… And eggs reach $10 a dozen. 🤦♀️
My friend and I were talking about the price of eggs today. Let us chart the cost on a graph and post it up on MAGA signs, to remind them that accepting divisiveness and "showing us," was not truly tied to the price of eggs.
Need huge billboards in the red states to post that on! Remind them that Trump really didn't give a f*ck to have an executive order for that one.
They already have. Just paid $9 for a dozen.
I wish! The fucking raccoons killed my chickens 2 years ago. The area we had them looked like Riker's Island. They still got in. I was chasing them with a golf club. Screaming and swearing. 🤣
You have to have then on a cement slab, because weasels will tunnel under, then snakes and others will get in. we set a live trap near a hole they were making in a wall and nabbed one when it came in. You can tell if it weasels because they won't eat them just kill them all and suck their blood. Fucking vampire shits.
Religion from the cradle sets the brain up for this way of operating.
Yes, they beat babies when they try to explore, and learn, teaching them to obey. See: Blanket training, the Duggars endorse it.
Did you watch that documentary about them? What a bunch of perverts. That's where I learned about the Joshua Generation. Sick bunch. Huckabee's best friends. Pedophiles and religions seem to come together like peanut butter and jelly.
Reading some of the MAGA ignoramus comments on the Fox video on Youtube of Trump's full speech to Davos was torture! I couldn't make it through the first couple of dozen without wanting to stick pins in my face and jump off the deck! Warning to self - never ever do that again!!
Lol!! I hear ya! I need a crash cart. I feel my IQ dropping to the ground and exploding. That's why I don't do social media. It's bad enough when I have to converse with one in person.
Include greed in your analysis, Susan.
You forgot Neanderthalism.
Wealth inequality plays into the problem as well Susan!!
Wealth inequality plays into many things Patrick. I keep hearing about young men being in crisis, but wealth inequality doesn’t seem to come into the conversation. It’s central to the difficulty faced by men growing up. You aren’t going to win the girl of your dreams if you are wage slave working close to minimum wage. That’s the reality faced by a lot of guys.
💯💯💯 what upsets me even more than all these Maga morons here is how the world is laughing at the US. Who would’ve thought that we would be the laughingstock of the world with this clown being voted in albeit less than half the population?
Did you hear his speech in Davos? OMG, Wharton must want to take back its degree. He is a complete idiot
They’re not laughing. They’re scared of what kind of shot he bringing down on the world
I doubt it, especially considering the fact that right wing extremism and fascism are spreading in Europe. Nobody's laughing, anywhere.
With his Clown Car Cabinet too!
Now if we could make 47 realize they are not laughing with him, but at him.
And 93 million eligible did not vote. While I know some were disenfranchised in various ways, some of the millennial men I know feel well off enough that they were not compelled to vote and did not, and do not. Will this be the election to shake their belief in thinking they will be just fine?
Yes, it wouldn't have taken that many more to put Harris over the top. 1/3 of the population didn't vote, yet Trump did not even make it over 50% of the ones that did. Don't know who the third party voters would have voted for if we hadn't had other idiots on the ballot - JFK the junior, Green Party woman farce, etc. Honestly, though, it's the voter intimidation and gerrymandering that has to be dealt with at some point if we ever get full Democratic control again.
There were several younger acquaintances who I’d call soft Democrats who voted 3rd party to mark their disapproval of the Gaza handling. It was mentioned many times of the dangers of voting 3rd party, especially with trump as a candidate. One whiner in particular said that he considered it “emotional abuse” to be “harassed” on his “no” vote for Kamala/Walz. I so wanted to give him a real reason to whine.
When people get so wrapped up in only one issue that they'll cut off their nose to spite their face, the leopards smell blood and come roaring in!
Why cant these folks see the bigger picture?! A third party vote didn't do anything but help Dump. 🤦♀️
Tried to tell them that several times but there was always a criticism about Democrats. Well duh, that’s valid but compare that to trump and the Dems issues look imminently solvable. But they voted for Jill Stein (ugh) or RFK Jr. (WT actual F!?) I ended up thankful several of them weren’t FB friends of mine and those that were were unfollowed for 30 days.
Too much Russian propaganda pumping them up, making them feel righteous, Gaza was a clusterfuck and horrible, but they fell for the way to make it worse, depending on others to counter their foolishness and save them from the consequences of their own actions.
More importantly, Trump will be even worse than Biden when it comes to Palestine.
Replying to self to correct typo to RFK the Junior, not the honorable JFK Jr.
JFK Jr. happens to be dead, so I doubt he got many votes. And didn't "Green Party woman farce" Jill Stein endorse Trump?
Sorry, typo, it's RFK the Junior. And, yes, Stein endorsed Trump but she was on the ballot in quite a few states with a lot of the Greens not recognizing her change over. Although I think she had converted to a fascism position the first Trump go-around with that picture of her with Putin in Russia with the MAGAs. Just like RFK and Tulsi Gabbard. They change their positions on a whim for the donations and attention. Stein's lived on campaign donations for quite a while. They all fit with the weird conspiracist and fantasizing type brains of so many of the MAGA.
Not if they’re white
They are White and White-Mexican. Their wives and girlfriends voted.
Some voted for a 3rd party candidate. I blame them for not voting for Harris.
White males always end up doing fine. It's the rest of us who end up with a boot (or a wingtip) on our necks.
...some say it was also a 'whole cohort' of certain white ppl voting to show up other white ppl ("we know best!" / "in your face!")... starting to wonder how much truth might be in that...
This old white man agrees.
I think we've come to accept a false narrative about this. Can we roll tape of inauguration where DJT thanks auntie EM for his technology fixing PA was it? The math doesn't add up, where are the 18m new voters (only 6 of which were GOP a month before election)? On top of the supposed 10m+ who didn't show up from 2020? Where was the outcry from the legacy press about voter suppression? The "nothing to see here" after bomb threats on voters? Accepting the idea he won is the first step in obeyance. I'm not willing to concede. Pls roll tape of the look of surprise on his face after election was called. And then recall months of him blathering about arnold Palmer's penis and sharks and nobody showing for his rallies. Think about what you saw. If it seems unbelievable maybe it is.
I so agree…I just cant believe Dump won all 7 swing states. And is there no way to prove it? It’s too late to do anything?
I said it immediately after I saw/heard the results, he cheated. Comments he made several times earlier in speeches “don’t need to vote, etc” No way he won legitimately
Me too. The democrats won’t fight though. They’ll get no more money from me (talking bout you Act Blue) But I will donate to Jasmine Crockett and AOC, they know how to serve back up as good as they get.

Remember how quickly the swing states came out with their vote totals? It usually takes days or weeks. There was fuckery. Of that there is no doubt. He did not win honestly.
4,776,706 voters were wrongly purged from voter rolls according to US Elections Assistance Commission data. And it goes on and on. Greg Palast.
There's at least your margin and then some. And that's just the ones who were purged "wrongly", what about voter intimidation? What about people who were purged according to laws that are discriminatory? What about gerrymandering? Remember, every accusation is an admission. DJT is a stooge and an FBI informant against the NY mob. Let's start there. My problem is with the language when MSNBC host says "a majority of people voted for trump". Even if it was true, a majority of voters would be accurate, not a majority of registered voters or a majority of eligible voters...c'mon. if you're going to advance narratives that blame Dem voters and candidates for the current morass, at least make them plausible.
i totallay agree with that. Ive brought it up many times , even in this forum only to be scolded and told I was too conspiracy-thinking....even by fellow dems.
Im usually not one to be a sore loser but something about this election did not hit right.
It was the Elon-factor in the equation that made this election jaded.
If this was just DoTard vs the Kamala I think we would have seen a much different outcome
The only reason they think it's a conspiracy theory is because they aren't doing the math. I seriously sat down and looked up all the figures for the last 6 elections, pop., reg voters, eligible, votes per party, and that newly registered number reported out at 18m a month before. It just doesn't square.
Arne: thanks to the muskrat??
Pennsylvania. Thom Hartman today has the words to a song and the guy who figured it out. I’ll try to get it to you.
Where do we find those lyrics?

Um, they called California for Kamala about 11/6/24, 8:02pm. I was surprised, but I know my state. However, some of the house candidates took weeks to count.
It makes no sense that Trump won all seven swing states. Again, I think when you cheat on an exam, you get a few wrong so that you don’t raise eyebrows. They just did a run the tables maneuver that was over eager. I just don’t understand why Kamala and Biden did not look into it. It makes absolutely no sense and there was too much at stake to just back down and concede. Massive mistake on my book.
That's the 57k question, right? It makes no sense on the face of it given whats been happening since 2020 not to demand recounts and look into things before turning the keys over. Why are Dems so demure? What do they stand to lose, who's has been threatened by what, why is Biden pardoning his family members, these are real questions. Am I missing something? AOC and Crockett seem to be the only people really sinking their teeth into a strong counter narrative. What on earth are minority leaders mumbling about and where the fuck is that stupid twit George Clooney now? Bidens too old to run but they're all ok with the present situation as per Jeff's thorough detailing of the sundowner in charge?
I do go alone with Biden pardoning his family considering the actual details and how he was railroaded just to hurt his father. The MAGAs were going to continue to try anything to throw at Hunter - it got too out of hand and dishonest. Trump is so retaliatory he would have made up anything he could to also go after Biden's wife or daughter if he couldn't get Hunter.
I don't disagree with the pardons at all, I think Hunter would have died in custody if he let them get at him, like Jeffrey. But it's crickets over these pardons in the press and the existing threats maybe should be bullhorned...and why not garland and smith or Biden himself? Because they have the goods on DJT. Suddenly Mr threats is only picking on the disabled and immigrants, nothing about these players who know everything about his assholery.
AND doesn't anyone recall that he was a failed casino owner? Casino. Where they take your money for nothing on gambling and games or chance. If anyone knows how to cheat people, it would be a casino owner. Add that to the pathology report. I think you're right about running too many tables at once and they all hit the numbers by just enough? Nobody said he couldn't do numbers. Brad, just find this number?
I live in one of those swing states and campaigned for Harris/ Walz - the campaign was so exciting I was sure she would win. But then when walking my dog I ran into a young mother I know and she told me she voted for Trump. Against everything that was in her interests, but she didn’t know that. So … with FOX news spewing so much disinformation, I just don’t know.
Fox is the heart of the mess we're in. 😭
And TikTok. It was really gross to see what a friend showed me with the lies on TikTok. Add a few popular MAGA blogs in there and we've got a real mess to fight.
Fox gets the older voters, TikTok the younger.
I agree, it's hard to 'know' because the seeds of doubt were planted for 4 yrs and yes people of all stripes were voting for trump, but the newly registered voter numbers are not accounted for and just that constant sowing of doubt narrative re 2020 and focusing on the Jan 6 committee findings instead of press scrutinizing what was going on in current time with the same vigor. Jeff is right about the press for sure. Keep yelling about one thing while you do another, like a slight of hand. Either outcome becomes 'plausible'. It's orwellian for sure.
T H I S
Exactly this!!
Eye-opening article by Greg Palest and his research that by his numbers prove Harris would have won without voter suppression. I didn't know some states never bother to check and count provisional ballots. https://hartmannreport.com/p/trump-lost-vote-suppression-won-c6f
Basically, somehow, we all have to fight to get honest voting systems and to suppress what happened in GA and other states with vigilantes "reporting" so-called "illegal" voters without their knowledge, along with fighting for better laws against voter suppression. Everyone needs to double check their eligibility at least 6 months before an election, or dependent on what the state requires, to make sure they haven't been purged.
Palast says forget about the Musk voting machine crap. Yet, I had read somewhere that those with enough electronic knowledge and an inside edge could easily convert votes as they're transferred to the mainframe system. Why did Musk spend so much time in PA election sites checking out the voting equipment? All we needed for Harris to win was PA.
Now some dipshit senator has proposed a bill to let trumpf and any future presidents serve 3 terms. Also Project 2025 is now called America First and guess who is besties with the president of the Heritage Foundation? Pres Kevin Roberts is Jd Vance’s good friend. Anyway, it’s nice to see trumpf make a fool of himself on the World Stage and not just at home.
Well Republicans would have to deal with the 22nd amendment, which THEY pushed through in a pique over FDR.
I suspect that he won’t live long enough or will be in a very private nursing home.
With his bedside Nurse Rachet.
Not a Senator. A dipshit Congresscritter. Andy Ogles from Tennessee. Looks like they want Obama back.
Co-sign.
You KNEW that was coming!! Trump talked about it.
I got torn up by Dem's on another site for even questioning that there could have been shenanigans, especially with Musk's involvement. Apparently, some Dems don't want to be thought of as poor losers. It was proven beyond a doubt that Trump did not win in 2020, even though he still fakes out his voters otherwise. But, if we can't prove that our elections are honest, then we can never trust any results. I would like to see an independent investigation about Trump's statements about Musk and PA, even if it means using independent investigators from outside the US.
why do dems push back on questioning the results - just as hard if not harder than r's... not following... B I Z A R R E - and with this much at stake
Remember when he asked Russia to find Hilary’s allegedly lost 30,000 emails—maybe they could look into this?
Where he thanks Auntie EM for Pennsylvania was a real shocker. It got very little mention anywhere. People didn’t hear it unless they watched the whole speech. (I don’t imagine even his voters did that.) Was he serious? Or just a tease as part of his strategy of chaos?
I thought he did look surprised that he won. Both times. Yes, please roll the tape.
Feel the same! I do not accept him as my president! Remember we are in this together!
I just read a piece by Thom Hartmann saying that voter suppression was the reason Kamala lost. He explained that she would have won Pennsylvania, Georgia, and a couple of other states if so many votes had not been thrown out for reasons that were very trivial, and black people were targeted for signatures that didn’t exactly match, or they didn’t return a postcard that looked like junk mail. She would have won the election if not for voter suppression.
Hartmann would know…. devastating. :(
Why can Romania challenge their own election (and clean it up) - and we are helpless?
The Democrats ignored the multiple requests to challenge the vote. I think they decided that the potential for “violence”? and a civil war was too high CONSIDERING the probability that those in charge of the Democratic side didn’t have the stomach to do what was necessary as they were dealing with an ongoing insurrection. I think that the Democrats in charge were of the physical age and long term history to believe that the American people themselves would have the moral character as we always have when our country was threatened to pull together as a Nation and defeat a threat against our Democracy! That democracy which celebrates the Consent of The Governed to be overseen by a democratic representative government.
No one elected DOGE
No one elected the Billionaires
If our Representatives and Senators and Executive Branch and Judges take and oath swearing Onto God!! We expect them to abide by it. Just as we the people are expected to abide by the laws of this country and God.
Thou shalt not kill
Thou shalt not stea
Thou shalt not lie
Government is a mutual agreement. Representatives work for the people to maintain secure borders. That’s on our national monuments.
To the Christian Nationalists
Jesus instructed Peter to
Feed my lambs
Tend my sheep
Feed my sheep
Jesus did not say to cut WIC or food cards or health care, or taking care or your elderly as in honor your mother and father.

So can someone explain to me why the Dems DID NOT do what T and Reps would have done in a second if the shoe were on the other foot? No one seemed to speak up, ask for recounts, investigate (e.g., Elon knowing the final vote at 4 on?), nothing. I don’t get it. It felt the Dems were against the Dems, too.
That's what I've been wondering! It seems no one is questioning anything. How can that be??? Also elon saying before the election that trump better win or he'll probably be going to prison??? At least I think I heard that.
Where was Merrick Garland? He and his team should have devoured every instance of foul play and held up the election until it was cleaned. There should never have been a concession that was so effing stupid.
And garland was notably absent on list of pardons as was jack smith. Very curious given the rhetoric directed towards them
The research and article was actually done by Greg Palast and posted on Hartmann's site. Here's the link- https://hartmannreport.com/p/trump-lost-vote-suppression-won-c6f
He turned out to be a worthless dem prez…. never should have entered the election
Now only if the dipshit republicans would “grow and change!”
Pam Hemphill said that she believed Trump’s lies then. She has learned since then that they were lies.
I imagine she has more self-respect than the average American.
That's never going to happen. I watched some of the Davos speech. Klaus Schwab (grifter) runs the group without any accountability. His rules are loyalty, guile, and sex appeal. His managing board has been reported as a vipers nest. This group meets to slap each other on the back to congratulate each other on pilfering the people. It's all a front. They welcomed Shitpants with open arms and applause. I hope when Klaus dies, he takes his money laundering Davos platform and buries it alongside of him.
I still think that displaying Trump's ignorance and mendacity on the world stage so early in the term should make most Americans hang their heads in shame. I'd like to travel -- what's the best way to signal, "Yeah, I know. I didn't vote for him."
Wear a Canada cap. I know a flight attendant that did that during Bush dubya.
Are there any international institutions that arent just full of grift monkeys? Am actually wondering at this point.
I question everything. If there's an opportunity, they'll show up. They find a way.
There used to be bumper stickers that said Question Authority. Can probably get one now, but I am hesitant to put anything on my car now for fear of damage done by some maga jackass.
You're right. I don't put up signs in my yard or stickers on the vehicles. My neighbors are MAGA. Straight up racist assholes. They don't hide it.
I so want to put a bumper sticker on my car. DON’T BLAME ME , I VOTED FOR HARRIS ! Too many red hats around here. 🤮
A friend posted this earlier this week “you stupid fucks voted for this”. It’s so spot on. We are surrounded by stupid fucks.
See I'm not so sure. He's a POS loser by ANY objective and observable measure. I think the GOP vs Dem thing is over, it's from WWF wrestling. I'm asking who's with him? It's not just what we see, guaranteed. The fix is in. He's a wet waffle. Just look at him...and from his twitter twatter it seems like none of his international bully friends are backing him up? Idk. I'm looking for the mole or the hole in the fence...
Susan, I have been saying that the word describing how Americans are going to feel in the world is shame over our leader and the people he is choosing to have as representatives of us in the world. That is, only those of us who have enough sense to, as Trump and his henchmen represent the US around the world.
Luckily because I live abroad and talk politics a lot, no one I know is asking me what do I think, and am I glad Trump won, like my daughter's classmate asked her.
I am grateful that Bloomberg, whom I never liked much, being an Oligarch and too much of a capitalist for my taste is keeping us in the Paris Climate accord on his own dime and initiative. That is the stuff of resistance. He sees how Trump was not president and made policy for 4 years both inside and outside of the US, and also how Trump is so eager to join the Broligarchy that he is not going after anyone who pays up.
Absolutely agree! And when 80% of those 77 million realize what they did and have voter regret, all we can tell them is if they had listened, he told them repeatedly what he planned to do and now he’s doing it. I still can’t believe there are so many ignorant people in this country!
Well unfortunately we won’t because most
Of those criminals are men and they are stupid as shit and would never admit they were wrong
I DON'T believe that 77 million people voted for this shit. Just in the last couple days, the donvict has again made reference to the fact that Elmo is very good with computers, especially those connected with vote counting.
sounds like a confession to me
He’s repeated it proudly several times poco!!
True Denise, how many voters votes were purged from entering the ballot box? There are estimates that point north of the hundreds of thousands! Guardian posted investigation journalist Greg Palast article that should give pause to the election results. I read his website, check it out:
https://www.gregpalast.com/
Re: Pam Hemphill - one down, 50 million to go!
Fearless Leader, trumpty dumpty, is hard at work de-programing his cult followers - so it shouldn't take long. Mexican Americans are already in panic flight.
I don't think she changed so much as she believes in doing the time since she did the crime. Wish we had more people like that.
Be well Susan!! Your thoughts are warmly embraced by everyone here!
Bon Weekend!!
I have to chew two Tums every morning before I get up due to the dread I feel from wondering what the day will bring. It sucks.
❣️👊❣️👊❣️
Hey Donny, If OPEC lowers prices below $60 a barrel it will cause mass layoffs in the US oil industry.
But I though you were going to "drill baby, drill?" what happened to energy independence?
Fucking Douch Nozzle.
Usually when oil drops that far, there's a recession going on. I remember the one from the early 2000s - my then 10 year old son said "well, mom, at least gas is cheap".
The pandemic shutdown tanked oil prices as well. Donnie Dumb-ass is a moron. But I state the obvious, I know.
He’s so fucking stupid he doesn’t even grasp the very simple “supply and demand” principle. Now that’s dumber than a fucking box of rocks.
Once again, the anus- lipped felon got what's left of his shorted out wires crossed. There's hardly any mention of Dump's threat to the Saudis during his last disasterous term about cutting oil production by 10% or they'd lose their defense funding. Now we have his drill baby drill bullshit when in fact more oil was produced when Biden was in office. Since Biden banned 625 million acres offshore from future drilling, we have to wonder where fuckface is planning to get all of this oil?
Not to mention what I said, when the price of something gets too low to make a profit, econ 101 kicks in, production is either curtailed or stops. If I were the Saudi's, I would probably tell him to come over and we'll talk with "Chain Saw Mow-Hamid" and you can work out a deal with him, he's good a "cutting" a deal.
I believe that's a Dutch nozzle, with windmills attached to it.
As someone pointed out…he is crying about immigrant criminals in this country after releasing J6 terrorists!
The immigrant issue is plainly gaslighting racism. Immigration is being used as a political weapon, nothing more.
He’s a life-long racist & follower of Hitler, and Heritage Fdn wants a white Christian country. It’s a toxic combination, one everybody but white Christian men who fear their own mediocrity will regret.
When one man hoards $440B and numerous people go without, it is clear that the focus of the Felon-followers is absurd. Focus on why one man is allowed to keep that wealth with unfair taxes. If he gave away $350B, he’d still live extremely lavishly. But sure…trumpanzees focus on people looking for $10/hr work.
But they were HIS terrorists. The abortion clinic bombers and doctor-murderers were not strictly his people, since he doesn’t care deeply about children, unborn or otherwise. But even now he thinks his voters will appreciate his gesture of those pardons.
Domestic Dumpty-supporting criminals are welcome. "Furrin" immigrant criminals need not apply.
It’s time for the military to stop their dereliction of duty. Arrest this seditionist occupying our White House. Follow the Constitution you pledged to. Use arms as needed! ENOUGH!
Felon trump is unqualified for office. None of his proclamations should be followed!
He has literally removed the US Constitution from the White House website! (404 Page not Found, superimposed over a picture of the White House.)
https://www.whitehouse.gov/.../our.../the-constitution/
His people need time to rewrite it before they put it back up.
I'm waiting for him to take a sharpie to the part about only natural citizens being allowed to serve as president.
With a skull and crossbones?
someone on X tried to convince me that that was a money-saving measure - website space costs, you know. (I think it's an alarming development - days into office and the constitution vanishes from govt website.......)
They literally had to pay someone to remove it. We don't know who, of course, but we can be certain that they won't be paid overtime.
Dumbest humans on planet earth!
I wonder if he actually thinks that's the only copy there is?... nobody tell him about the copies at the Library of Congress and NARA lol...
That's the funniest--and scariest--commentary on this so far! Of course, he'll eventually claim to have discovered it, just as he discovered that Puerto Rico is an island, "surrounded by water; big water".
🤦🏻
I keep hoping…I’m sure to no avail, but someone needs to stand up and do the right thing.
Biden had the opportunity. There’s no one left with the power.
Biden could have…you’re right. Maybe he was too old and tired to make one last attempt to make it right? 🤷🏼♀️ We’re doomed if the Democrats dont get their shit together.
I think Biden was too much of an institutionalist to act to stop fascism. Age may have contributed to him being stuck in the ways it’s always been done, but I think that’s always been who he is. People voted for his empathy & experience in 2020, not his boldness or willingness to think outside the box.
👏👏👏👏👏
Exactly. That’s how we got Clarence Thomas lo those many years ago. He wanted to be go-along to get-along Joe. I wonder if he ever regrets championing him or thinks how the Supreme Court might be today.
Merritt Garland could have acted much faster.
But he’s part of team felon.Biden should never have put him on or at least removed him after 6 months
Jack Smith’s report also talks about how the system hampered Garland, from obstructive FBI (Biden could have fired Wray for cause if he hadn’t been so afraid of the appearance of lack of DOJ independence) to SCOTUS. J6 would have gone to trial 10 months ago, and even if it had been 18 months sooner the case would have made its way back to SCOTUS after lower courts ruled on whether the revised charges violated Donny’s immunity. I think it was Cliff Schechter who pointed out DOJ should have been at a mic reminding the public that the case was active every day because the public has a 10-second attention span and only a slightly longer memory.
The laughingstock of the world 2.0. It’s publicly unfolding on the world stage. We didn’t expect him to suddenly make sense or create new narratives to explain why he has not and cannot keep his promises for Day 1 . The blusterfuck was and ever will be. He has his brown shirts. Thank Dog we have each other and Jeff. We must not run out of fucks to give.
There is a lot of anger & outrage out there. Did you hear about the one J6er who will not accept felon trump’s pardon? She said what they did was illegal & wrong & insults capitol police & the nation. Let’s hope that is a seed of change.
Strongly agree.
1. Agent Orange was at the wrong forum. Raking Forests was the next room over.
2. Kudos to Granny. I’m happy to drop the MAGA. She’s earned her welcome back to reality.
“Raking Forests was the next room over.”
Kay-El !!! Bravo! I’m going to chuckle all morning on that one.
"are these soldiers — not just young and beautiful, but big and strong, their massive biceps riddled with bullet holes — are they coming up to Donny with tears in their eyes, and going ‘sir! sir! the ground is so flat and there’s nothing to hide behind. we’re so tired of getting shot. can’t you send us to Greenland instead? they have all kinds of rocks and shit. sir!’"
Jeff, I'm lucky I wasn't drinking my tea when I read this, or it would have ended up all over my phone. Thank you for bringing levity to a dark time. You are a living treasure, sir.
Kudos to Pam Hemphill! Thanks for including her in your essay Jeff.
I’m so fucking tired of he and his ilk’s gross obsession with transpeople. We just want to fucking live, you assholes, leave us the fuck ALONE.
This is eugenics 101. When they complain about dei what they really did is flush all disabled out of public employment (calls to end remote which is an ADA accommodation), encouraging private employers to do the same, and then cutting off all civil rights cases at doj which in large part are disabled people suing over ADA accommodations, which is the only mechanism of enforcement in labor and housing. It's a fucking disaster for lgbtq et al and the disabled. Add immigrants and this looks like a eugenics and ethnic cleanse with zero legal recourse despite the actual laws on the books. He told his nephew to euthanize his disabled son because he wasn't worth the resources to keep him alive. A special place in hell for this one and his minions.
CF hopefully will get swept up in multiple nets of fuckery & stupidity and be forced to change his focus. I'm sorry you & the trans community are constantly being harassed by this vile felon. I am glad you are part of our community here. 🧑🤝🧑👭👬👫
Alethia, hoping you have STRONG self defense weapons and try to always travel in groups. You should not have to do this, but here we are. I got a $6.95 keychain pepper spray from eBay. You probably want something more lethal.
I was in Finland last week. Didn't see an Ewok nor anyone raking or any rakes. Hard to make snow at this time of year. Our tour guide hates Trump.
Just like the poor folks who will have to deal with dear leader when he arrives here today in SoCal to check out the massive fire damage. Since he doesn't give two shits about anyone here in CA or anywhere else, he'll make it all about himself with the usual photo ops.
If the So Cal fires started in wildland, they didn't start in the forest, because "National Forest" in So Cal is generally bushes. Now there is video indicating the Eaton fire started underneath a transmission tower. Doesn't that mean it was maybe caused by a private company that didn't clear and rake land it controlled? Doesn't Trump think private companies should do whatever the hell they want?
Southern California Edison (again) neglecting their equipment and failing to clear surrounding vegetation. They can add the Eaton Fire to the devastating Woolsey Fire and many, many others in the last few decades.
Jill, if SCE can be proven to have caused the fire, like PGE in 2018's Camp Fire, they can be sued for damages in court. Camp Fire victims, including businesses, rec'd billions of $$ to reimburse them from losses.
Jeff, "hero of the day" is an awesome addition. We all need a little something to remind us that courage comes from within - and more often than not, from within very "ordinary" people. Thank you.
It's actually good news that Donny got to dither at Davos, because now the World Economic Bros and some of the international press are fully aware of his dementia, and that's toothpaste that won't fit back into the tube. I'm hoping for a repeat performance at the SOTU message on March 5, though I fear his handlers will try to weasel him out of a speech in favor of a written report that President Musk will likely compose.
I still maintain that the Project 2025 folks know damned well that The Tangerine Terrorist is brain fried and that by this time next year, they'll get the Rs to do the 25th Amendment cha-cha-cha, putting the Heritage Project Stooge, Juvenile Delinquent Vance, as president.
Then we go from "Country screwed by a dottering old doofus" to "Country screwed by the puppet of a Christo-Fascist Oligarchy that won't be stopped."
We're so boned.
The economic forums in the U.S. and globally appear to be shifting their support in favor of oligarchs, whom they admire for their wisdom and power to "take all." It's like the horror movie where the merchants take bets on who can make the Village Idiot (Trump) climb the bell tower and ring the bell for them. Davos is the surrender of the U.S. government to accepting a secondary role in geopolitics and economic influence, with the oligarchs stepping in to fill the void. Democracy isn't even an issue.
but i thought joe was 'too old, frail and in serious decline...?' i was told that ad nauseum AFTER ONE crappy debate (see: fetterman's debate btw!). j*rks
"I'll take JOE IN DECLINE for 4 more years Alex."
That wouldn't surprise me in the least.
It's so apparent the the Felon has full blown dementia now. He also looks like he had a stroke.
a weaker dollar...?
The substance of Trump’s Davos speech was very concerning. The President of the United States told economic leaders that the U.S. economy was very bad, over leveraged, and near collapse. These are the folks who buy U.S. debt for security, who invest in U.S. businesses, who negotiate trade agreements. Our president is supposed to be America’s cheerleader. Trump is our greatest detractor. This should be front page news in every newspaper and the lead story on every newscast. Donald Trump is shit talking the American economy to foreign financial leaders. It is an insult to our nation.
Is he more of a spokesmodel at this point - where ppl just assume he wandered off-script / no biggie? Then just go hit the bar (serious Q)
Fortunately, they don't believe him. Like Trudeau, who just went to Mar-a-Lago and sat through the humiliation, went back to Ottawa and focused on the tariff problem. Took him all of 2017 to fix that and Trump is far crazier now.
Where are all the headlines and stories about this in corp media? The man is nakedly insane on the world stage. News flash. He is not an emperor who can remove heads at a whim. Stop sniveling and start reporting the facts. The president is insane.
Everytime he attempts to speak is cringe worthy. From Biden to the village idiot what a total shitshow. It’s 5 days & I miss Biden & Harris so much
Or as one 4 year-old said "I miss the Kamala channel!" :)
It’s going to take a mass deprogramming to get these idiots to come back to earth.That and Fux News being shut down.And dear leader in a pine box.
T H I S T H I S T H I S !!!
He would have ended the Russia-Ukraine war, but the OPEC countries have been so mean to him?
Dear Leader promises to do the impossible; the impossible doesn't happen; Dear Leader finds someone else to blame.
In other news, the sun is hot, water is wet, the bear defecates in the woods, etc.
