He sure has. Grandpa Gravy Stains is losing his shit in more ways than one. Between his disastrous tariffs, plans to invade other countries, heartless immigration policies and a Cabinet full of unqualified ass kissing lunatics, it appears more folks are jumping off his runaway train. There will a day when he will no longer be around to blame Biden or anyone else for any of his disastrous decisions.
The premium extra capacity bespoke presidential Depends are proving, so far, to be fairly reliable. But let’s keep an eye on it (so to speak) because there could be a blowout at some point.
in fact I've already been yelled at on bluesky for shit-shaming. but the one thing I've learned from all of this is that whatever you do, at least one person will take offense at it
Mine too, Clytie! I used it in an (as usual) rant against the orange fuckwit a couple of days ago and caught my husband giving me a very odd look (he hates him more than I do, but it's the 'quality' of my descriptions he's questioning, methinks). I feel they've improved but had to explain (yet again), that I'd gotten it from JEFF! I've found myself using Jeff as an excuse for so many of my wee bon mots lately, deserved or not, hehehe. :)
After that debate with Kamala, I thought, hmmm… anyone watching what a fool he made of himself with that killing dogs& cats…. how could they VOTE for such a loser???
I've fairly recently discovered the 'joys' of having: a cellphone, worse, an Iphone which is reputed to be a 'smartphone' (must be since I'm the dummy who still can't quite figure it out); and have found myself (somehow) on Instagram without trying. Luckily, there are lots of involved and 'fight back' people there as well so naturally I gravitate to them AND to putting in my .02cents. I run afoul of so many magats lately too. OMG they are still deeply entrenched in their slavish devotion to the orange toddler. How? Why? Even when asked, there are no serious responses other than: 'you f'n commie, libtard, blah blah - and they repeat his blatant lies about Joe Biden'. BUT I have managed to post good info from there onto twitter right under the head twitter guy's nose (he just began following me - should I worry?)
It’s literally a metaphor for the incontinent stinky pharter shitting all over our country - our constitution, its people, the economy, ecology and the world. And the messes he makes keep getting worse. Always timely and apropos for this failing “leader”, newly minted as “Trump 2 Doll” (credit to Lawrence O’Donnell).
I got a huge kick out of 'donny two-dolls' as his 'Sopranos name'. Last time he was known as 'donny two scoops' (he'd order everyone at the dinner table to only get ONE scoop of ice cream to HIS two! Can you imagine such pettiness? Lawrence expounded on it tonight, showing several peaceful protesters holding signs referring to 'donny two dolls'!
And the thing is, Wilkinson talks about the people the obscene orange blob has bullied, and says it's not right to turn around and bully him. I sorta, kinda get where she's going, in principle, but the crucial fact she leaves out is that NONE of the people he's bullied DESERVED it. With him, it was cruelty for its own sake, so he damn well deserves to be hauled up short.
Examples, yet again, of why we are supposed to just sit back and take whatever evil BS tRUMP spews in any way shape or form. BUT!, when he is given a dose of his own medicine, as in “do unto tRUMP as he does unto others, well mercy me 😱!Get the smelling salts and grab the sycophants as they collapse in horror and fake dismay clutching their pearls.
Excellent point, Kim. The orange blob is the sole focus of the backlash here. He's not being cracked on because he needs diapers; he's being skewered because he's a monster.
Orange sofa. Couch orange. Golf orange. All I know is you would think he was in Germany because today, May Day is a national holiday so that could explain why he is taking the day off, to celebrate the workers who have to work at his golf course.
Considering the "leadership" of this country is approaching North Korea level comical propaganda - re-posting a photoshopped pic of Trump with a load in his drawers shouldn't warrant so much as a stern admonition.
This is the great gift MAGA has given me. I don't give a fat rat's ass if they lose their farms or their little trucking companies. I don't care that their demon spawn will die of measles, trapped in an iron lung. Those kids were born into an ignorant theocratic shithole and it's not within my capacity to 'save' them from their Neanderthal parents, who were going to kill them one way or the other anyway. I don't care if their Mexican brother-in-law disappears into the Salvadoran GULAG, he just made a bad life choice being born brown.
They made me realize that I'm not better than this. They taught me that hate wins.
And no, this is not sarcasm.
It's all for the greater glory in the Enchanted Land of the Magical Sewer Clowns.
But, see, that's the whole point, isn't it? We Libs have cared for so long about peoples' state of mind that we forgot to check in on the objective, concrete reality. For us, doing something good for someone didn't "count" unless the motivations were pure. In the coming years, we will each find ourselves *doing* things, both good and bad, we never though possible. ThoughtCrime will also become much less of a thing. Good luck, America.
Last night I attended a talk on Zoom by historian Jefferson Cowie. While he is not as funny as Jeff, he also made me feel better. I appreciate the laughs I get from Jeff, who speaks truth to Trump and makes him seem less powerful and more decrepit.
Cowie gave me a big picture perspective on Trump and a better understanding of the people voting for him who also voted for Obama and how he is surprised that Dems have not done more to protect Voting Rights. I wrote up a piece on his talk.
Jeff is a vital resource. He keeps me off of high bridges. His savage and accurate mockery of the risible Bloated Mango is precisely what we need. I want the Democratic Party to take this on as a national objective (might as well, they aren't doing anything else). Mocking Trump and his FAFOed supporters is the best weapon we have. It stiffens spines and loosens tongues. It can lead to a cascade failure of Whack-A-Mole that quickly outstrips their capacity to respond. These maggots are not as scary as they desperately want you to think.
When the Mad King gets his military parade, I will have a sign I will raise every time a missile carrier passes by. It will read "SORRY ABOUT YOUR PENIS!"
I just had a image of hundreds of cards flashing “sorry about your penis” like in stadiums when they are all in unison making a statement or image. Maybe have a 🍄🟫next to the word penis🤷♀️
And for the record. I am pretty sure that Donny is using the autopen too. Why, because it is discussed in Project 2025 as something that can be used. Then, I look at how many EO got signed in the beginning and just like Bot accounts keep going and never stop, this is what seems to me to be the auto pen signing for Trump while other people drafted it up and had it ready to go.
Denise, I used to love conjunction junction on School House Rock, and then used some of it with my students for a bit of something else. That may be what Donnie needs to help him understand his J-O-B!
The program was after my time, but I've heard nothing but good about it. Of course, now it would be threatened....
As for the orange blob, he can't even spell J-O-B. I very much doubt there's anything that could make him understand anything about his responsibilities. Nope, not even with a [your weapon of choice] to his head.
Denise, the proof is in the pudding. We see what he is doing. There is no hiding his incompetence. At least not to those of us who are not in the right wing news bubble. It is so dystopian.
I am tempted to just wish these 4 years gone, and I remind myself to continue to live in the moment, and many of them will not be spent thinking about Trump.
Your last comment resonates, Linda, as elements of synchronicity often do. I'm of the wiccan persuasion, and a celtic wiccan just published a "reading" for today, Beltaine, a major wiccan holiday (not meaning to be pedantic), when the veil between the physical and the spiritual is thin. The three cards that turned up were Celebration, Freedom (from both internally and externally imposed constraints), and Presence (as in, living in and savoring the moment). I think these cards couldn't be more timely. We need to shift our attitudes to the extent it's possible, to not let that obscene idiot control our mental spaces.
You shouldnt care jeff. I swear. You were much more eloquent than we were today.
We have pathological lying reaches new heights, as turdbucket trump tried blaming the stock market's nosedive on biden through a truth social rant, absurdly claiming it "has NOTHING TO DO WITH TARIFFS" despite the immediate market crash after his "liberation day" tariff announcement. what a delusional fuckwit!
Metaphors work just like that. He shits his pants all the time. He’s shitting his pants on our economy, allies … I’m too exhausted by his shit to list all the shit.
“bueno, Donny. good for you. please, though — when you’re out there on the course, try not to let that mean old Joe Biden shit your pants again.” 😂👏👏👏👏👏
Amen. We know it’s true even if someone didn’t catch a pic; diaper bag in the golf cart but no place to pollute the ground with a blankie. When we see a gurney tied behind we know the secret service needs to demand shit pay.
Please, please, please let that photo of doo-doo pants be the one and ONLY photo you ever use again when referring to our dear leader. Frankly, I’d rather look at that than his fucking face.
Oh my god. It's hard to imagine the weight of the unfunny in that room with both Temu Blofeld and Pope Slayer at the same table. Multiple sclerosis is funnier than both these assholes. "My hat has a hat." This guy makes Mike Huckabee look like Lenny Bruce.
Of course all of this dog and pony stuff is to feed the rightwing media human centipede. I can't even imagine a Democrat being needy and foolish enough to have things like those ridiculous Gulf of America hats splayed around the table (and those hats are probably made in China).
Temu Blofeld is a cabinet member now? Oh well it's not like anything matters.
Haha, the Ayn Rand meme is hilarious. And accurate, too. Says a whole lot about the assholes who worship her, or worse, are named after her, right, Rand Paul? (Wikipedia says he wasn't named for her, but c'mon, he's such a selfish prick, so it's apropos nonetheless.)
The budget chaos is exacerbated by the many adds to the annual budget before the cuts. They are huge:
• Add $150 billion for Defense
• Add $60 billion for Immigration Hardball
• Add $50 billion for a farmer bailout.
• Add $10 billion tax cut of tips and overtime
• Add $450 billion for the end of the TCJA
They begin by adding $720 billion in deficit spending to the $6.9 trillion annual outlay. We currently run a $1.8 trillion deficit annually. Over 10 years that would be $25 trillion added to current $33 trillion deficit. Think $58 trillion vs $33 trillion. Before any cuts, the deficit will be $58 trillion. So they must come up with new budget cuts. They said like about an annual $1.5 trillion ($10.5 trillion over 10 years). It is crazy to increase the deficit by 50% and then ask for a tax cut that then has to be added to that deficit. Sure. I get it. Same as the 2017 TCJA: a 100% deficit-funded tax cut. The wealthy get a tax break benefit that your children and grandchildren must pay back. Trump does not care from where the money going Into his pocket comes, and he does not pay his bills. You get to pay it. https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/hornswaggling-over-100-days?r=3m1bs
AND There is $300,000,000.00 for DonOld to play golf! The money pays for his extra security and local police for his GOLF OUTINGS!!! Now that's what I call government WASTE AND ABUSE. JFC.
Don is taking today off to celebrate Workers of the World Day. Then, he is staying in Florida over the weekend, so that he does not waste fuel on flying back tomorrow and then returning to Florida on Saturday. He is so worker conscientious and so environmentally as well. A true populist. A man of the working class. He is not a self-centered narcissist. He cares about everyone. He is the strong man who can take care of us all.
Instead of tax cuts for billionaires, how about we actually TAX the fuck out of them? Not sure why they need tax cuts; I doubt any pay taxes now anyway with offshore tax havens, loopholes and any number of sleights of hand they get to play that us W-2 schlubs can only dream of.
Just passed out of committee is the reduction in salary for federal employees. My poor husband already works three jobs, and our girls don’t have any dolls…
If they reduce salaries for federal employees, they also need to reduce the amount taxpayers contribute to presidential golf weekends. Maybe give him 3 or 4 a year and the rest he pays for himself. Of course all his billionaires toadies would chip in...
If they cut Federal employee wages, there will be less taxes taken out of their checks so theoretically, those employees would be paying less toward his golf habit.
It’s worse than you’d think with how they’re doing it. Still pay the old salary level taxes but forced to put a certain percentage of the remainder into a fund for retirement that they do not guarantee will be there for use. Essentially, we are being taxed twice, reducing take home pay.

Who knew fascism would be so expensive? And all those punchable faces sitting around Trump's table. He should have demanded they wear those stupid hats through the entire meeting to consummate the humiliation. I'm so done with Trump's demented slop.
Carl, I can tell you I was dismayed that my daughter, who is at University in Germany, and has a small internet hobby business, had to pay taxes this year. Not because she should not pay taxes, but because she had to pay into social security and medicare. She will very likely not collect on either one. However, to do this, she has gone from being an innocuous person in the world, to someone who gave Elon Musk her bank routing number. That was my biggest concern.
Unless things turn around greatly in the US before my daughter permanently settles herself into Germany, where she is a part of a German public health insurance that technically will follow her until death, she will not be collecting medicare, because right now Americans who have paid into it do not get to collect it unless you live in the US. Since most health care systems are cheaper than the US, it would be cheaper for the US to pay for people to be cared for abroad than in the US. She might get social security from the US, but I am not sure it won't be privatized and destroyed. A grand theft of gargantuan proportions, that has me concerned my husband and I won't be able to collect from a life of working in the US either.
Also, when you live abroad and are not a billionaire, or even a millionaire, you have to file in both the country you earn money in and the US. You are not allowed to have investments abroad, and you will pay the taxes whichever place is higher. This is not true of every country, but it is of the US, so many Americans are giving up their citizenship. Even then, you have to file US taxes for 10 years or you won't be collecting your social security or other monies owed to you, even if you don't owe the US a single penny.
Trump is wary of Americans abroad, thus the part of the SAVE act which has us having to vote in person. Again, unless you are super wealthy that is not so doable. And, who wants to fly to the US just to vote. No one. It also will have the effect of disenfranchising those in the military who are abroad as well. So, we want to only file where we have to pay, and be able to vote by mail, or email, or fax. It varies from state to state what we can do. We also want enough time in which to do this.
Pious Pam Bondi better review her Commandments, especially that pesky one about bearing false witness. That means lying, Bondi. Which you do repeatedly.
Golly gee! I’m sure glad that I’m one of the saved from death by fentanyl! But I may die laughing at the ridiculous fucking numbers they make up to show how “great” they’re making the country again
I have to throw another comment out here. If you have a chance watch Stephen Colbert's show from last night, he has a clip of the interview of Trump with Terry Moran. It starts out with Terry standing over Trump at the desk and Trump is explaining the Declaration of Independence hanging on the wall and quote, "it's all about love" and some other blathering shit, and the cameraman zooms in on Terry's face and the look he gives Trump is, holy fuck you are fucking insane. A picture is worth 1000 words rings true.
During Biden’s administration Donald blamed everything bad in our country on Biden, for over 4 years. At that point I stated that if Donald was in office again he would blame any failures on Biden for the next 4 years. I think I hit that one out of the park. Best to All
His narcissism is really a freight train out of control. It’s the reason everything is so screwed up - he needs to be introduced to the 5th story window.
I've never seen so many forelock tugging Uriah Heeps in one room. Pam Bondi, the most Uriah-like of them all, claims they've saved 75% of Americans from certain death by Fentanyl. I'm pretty sure 75% of Americans wouldn't have a clue how to get hold of a dose of Fentanyl.
Pam Bondi flunked every math class she ever attempted.
And a very high percentage of Americans have probably never heard of Fentanyl. You have to be able to read and maybe spell, and actually watch the news to understand that.
In the song “Stealing” he banged the Farmers daughter- who did Bondi Blondie bang to get into that position which she has no possible reason to be holding?
She was pretty chonky back then, so I would say it was her ability to suck up and praise evil, in the form of republican males. DeathSantis being a prime example. I’m not sure he possesses a dangling male appendage.
Lawrence O’Donnell re-named the diaper shitting Orange Hitler “Donny Two Dolls” after his diaper-shitting remarks from the Fecal Office yesterday. What a fucking biblical loser.
Jesus, what a nightmare we are living through. These “cabinet” officials should be beet red with shame for the bullshit praise each one spewed out. After listening to a couple of them I had to mute it; I was so embarrassed for them. NO job is worth that.
for the record, that photo up top, the one that's been going around for years, is photoshopped. I don't care
It's of more believable quality than the MS-13 fake photo of Kilmar's hand
For that alone, he's earned the endless circulation of the shit photo.
He sure has. Grandpa Gravy Stains is losing his shit in more ways than one. Between his disastrous tariffs, plans to invade other countries, heartless immigration policies and a Cabinet full of unqualified ass kissing lunatics, it appears more folks are jumping off his runaway train. There will a day when he will no longer be around to blame Biden or anyone else for any of his disastrous decisions.
The premium extra capacity bespoke presidential Depends are proving, so far, to be fairly reliable. But let’s keep an eye on it (so to speak) because there could be a blowout at some point.

We don't care either. It's truth-adjacent and that's closer to the truth than any of these clownfuckery asshats ever get.

Such people don't seem to exist for, say, Republicans blood libeling innocent Haitians with "they're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats."
After that debate with Kamala, I thought, hmmm… anyone watching what a fool he made of himself with that killing dogs& cats…. how could they VOTE for such a loser???
Guess I was unfortunately wrong!
A lot of us were. I thought "grab 'em by the pussy" would end it.
I've fairly recently discovered the 'joys' of having: a cellphone, worse, an Iphone which is reputed to be a 'smartphone' (must be since I'm the dummy who still can't quite figure it out); and have found myself (somehow) on Instagram without trying.

Hi Seth, I didn't know that you hung out here. Good to know.
Hey there thanks!
It’s literally a metaphor for the incontinent stinky pharter shitting all over our country - our constitution, its people, the economy, ecology and the world. And the messes he makes keep getting worse. Always timely and apropos for this failing “leader”, newly minted as “Trump 2 Doll” (credit to Lawrence O’Donnell).
Yes, I laughed when Lawrence said that!!

Thanks CJ Wilkinson for the reminder that we should protect a guy who raped a teenager from shit jokes. OK, Karen.
And the thing is, Wilkinson talks about the people the obscene orange blob has bullied, and says it's not right to turn around and bully him. I sorta, kinda get where she's going, in principle, but the crucial fact she leaves out is that NONE of the people he's bullied DESERVED it.

Kind of like suggesting to turn the other [shit-stained butt] cheek. ;)
Ewwwww!!! OK, that thought eliminates a LOT of dinner choices.....
She’s just standing up for the community of Incontinent-Americans and their civil right to shit their pants in public.
😝😝😝
We backed your play Jeff.
Shit Shame away.
https://bsky.app/profile/thistleandmoss.com/post/3lo4lt6zjps2u
The "most persecuted president ever" has caused shit shaming to become a thing
Except for the ones that were assassinated, don't ya think, whiner-in-chief🤬
They are just pussies! “Stop it, quit it. You are being mean to me.”
Such bullshit. You go , Jeff!
Shit-shaming: like slut-shaming but browner.
Examples, yet again, of why we are supposed to just sit back and take whatever evil BS tRUMP spews in any way shape or form.

Sounds to me like it's very personal to her and she's not getting the fact that Dumpy is being ridiculed, NOT all elderly people.
Excellent point, Kim. The orange blob is the sole focus of the backlash here. He's not being cracked on because he needs diapers; he's being skewered because he's a monster.
I think it’s hilarious 🤣 I love that photo because he is a pant shitter!!!
Lots of witnesses, dating back to The Apprentice, have vouched for this.
Yep
It’s their first day on the internet apparently
This is my reply to her, tough...he's a piece of crap and deserves to be ridiculed!!!
Absolutely. You can put a picture of an adorable puppy and someone will have something nasty to say…
“So, by posting this puppy picture, I guess you think cats are evil and should all die?”
Fucking self-appointed tone police.
Truth-adjacent! Well said. I sure don't give a FLYING fuck what these no-account fuckwits bitch & whine about. Never, ever again.
It is truer than ANY of the bullshit coming from orange Caligula!
Orange sofa. Couch orange. Golf orange. All I know is you would think he was in Germany because today, May Day is a national holiday so that could explain why he is taking the day off, to celebrate the workers who have to work at his golf course.
I am sure that is it.
His noble reputation of total selflessness is legendary!
Neither do we since it's a possibility it could happen.
Considering the "leadership" of this country is approaching North Korea level comical propaganda - re-posting a photoshopped pic of Trump with a load in his drawers shouldn't warrant so much as a stern admonition.
Speaking of North Korea, even Ann Coulter was saying that Cabinet meeting sounded like something out of Pyongyang.

And for the record. I am pretty sure that Donny is using the autopen too. Why, because it is discussed in Project 2025 as something that can be used. Then, I look at how many EO got signed in the beginning and just like Bot accounts keep going and never stop, this is what seems to me to be the auto pen signing for Trump while other people drafted it up and had it ready to go.
Shitler's signature looks like a drawing of a KKK rally -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Donald_Trump_(Presidential_signature).svg
It reads "Ash nazg durbatuluk, ash nazg gimpatul"
Wow! Spot on Mary!
"...while other people came up with the concepts, planned how to implement them, designed the language, drafted it up and had it ready to go."
Elaborated for you, Linda. See: "How an EO Reaches Donny’s Desk," presented by Schoolhouse Rock. Except that program went defunct ages ago.
Denise, I used to love conjunction junction on School House Rock, and then used some of it with my students for a bit of something else. That may be what Donnie needs to help him understand his J-O-B!

That photo is visual metaphor of him shitting on country, so it gets a pass.
We knew that because we aren't fekking idiots, unlike some people.
Don’t worry. Donny clearly doesn’t know what photoshopping is. He will believe it’s as real as Kilmar’s MS13 tattoo.
Metaphors work just like that. He shits his pants all the time. He’s shitting his pants on our economy, allies … I’m too exhausted by his shit to list all the shit.
“bueno, Donny. good for you. please, though — when you’re out there on the course, try not to let that mean old Joe Biden shit your pants again.” 😂👏👏👏👏👏
Nobody gives a fuck. It’s actually too flattering for that rotting piece of garbage.
Amen. We know it’s true even if someone didn’t catch a pic; diaper bag in the golf cart but no place to pollute the ground with a blankie. When we see a gurney tied behind we know the secret service needs to demand shit pay.
donnie drumpf took Pres. Joseph R. Biden’s tremendously strong economy to a gravel pit and Kristi Noem’d the fuck out of that puppy.
Brilliant Dave 👍🏽
Please, please, please let that photo of doo-doo pants be the one and ONLY photo you ever use again when referring to our dear leader. Frankly, I’d rather look at that than his fucking face.
I've always recommended using the rear ends of animals.
Like a horse's ass. Which is a slight against horses' asses
I come to this place for the humor.
An elephant’s ass?
A slight against elephants' asses
A baboon's ass in heat would describe those lips on Kristi Noem.
🔥🔥🔥😂😂😂
True dat😂
Oh my god. It's hard to imagine the weight of the unfunny in that room with both Temu Blofeld and Pope Slayer at the same table. Multiple sclerosis is funnier than both these assholes. "My hat has a hat." This guy makes Mike Huckabee look like Lenny Bruce.
Of course all of this dog and pony stuff is to feed the rightwing media human centipede. I can't even imagine a Democrat being needy and foolish enough to have things like those ridiculous Gulf of America hats splayed around the table (and those hats are probably made in China).
Temu Blofeld is a cabinet member now? Oh well it's not like anything matters.
“Temu Blofeld and Pope Slayer”
You’re lucky I wasn’t drinking anything when I read that, or you’d owe me a new keyboard😂
Me too 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂🤣😂😅 Temu Blofield...
Haha, the Ayn Rand meme is hilarious. And accurate, too. Says a whole lot about the assholes who worship her, or worse, are named after her, right, Rand Paul? (Wikipedia says he wasn't named for her, but c'mon, he's such a selfish prick, so it's apropos nonetheless.)
Ayn Rand, Rand Paul, and Paul Ryan walk into a bar. The bar serves tainted alcohol because there are no regulations. They die.
Rand, Paul, and Ryan walk into a bar and the bartender says, Get the fuck outta here!
What a mother fucking loser piece of shit. Honestly. And these people metaphorically blowing him. Ugh.
What. The. Fuck, America.
The budget chaos is exacerbated by the many adds to the annual budget before the cuts. They are huge:
• Add $150 billion for Defense
• Add $60 billion for Immigration Hardball
• Add $50 billion for a farmer bailout.
• Add $10 billion tax cut of tips and overtime
• Add $450 billion for the end of the TCJA
They begin by adding $720 billion in deficit spending to the $6.9 trillion annual outlay. We currently run a $1.8 trillion deficit annually. Over 10 years that would be $25 trillion added to current $33 trillion deficit. Think $58 trillion vs $33 trillion. Before any cuts, the deficit will be $58 trillion. So they must come up with new budget cuts. They said like about an annual $1.5 trillion ($10.5 trillion over 10 years). It is crazy to increase the deficit by 50% and then ask for a tax cut that then has to be added to that deficit. Sure. I get it. Same as the 2017 TCJA: a 100% deficit-funded tax cut. The wealthy get a tax break benefit that your children and grandchildren must pay back. Trump does not care from where the money going Into his pocket comes, and he does not pay his bills. You get to pay it. https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/hornswaggling-over-100-days?r=3m1bs
AND There is $300,000,000.00 for DonOld to play golf! The money pays for his extra security and local police for his GOLF OUTINGS!!! Now that's what I call government WASTE AND ABUSE. JFC.
Don is taking today off to celebrate Workers of the World Day. Then, he is staying in Florida over the weekend, so that he does not waste fuel on flying back tomorrow and then returning to Florida on Saturday. He is so worker conscientious and so environmentally as well. A true populist. A man of the working class. He is not a self-centered narcissist. He cares about everyone. He is the strong man who can take care of us all.
As it is written in the Holy Book:
What kind of mashugina are you?
Instead of tax cuts for billionaires, how about we actually TAX the fuck out of them? Not sure why they need tax cuts; I doubt any pay taxes now anyway with offshore tax havens, loopholes and any number of sleights of hand they get to play that us W-2 schlubs can only dream of.
Just passed out of committee is the reduction in salary for federal employees. My poor husband already works three jobs, and our girls don’t have any dolls…
If they reduce salaries for federal employees, they also need to reduce the amount taxpayers contribute to presidential golf weekends. Maybe give him 3 or 4 a year and the rest he pays for himself. Of course all his billionaires toadies would chip in...
If they cut Federal employee wages, there will be less taxes taken out of their checks so theoretically, those employees would be paying less toward his golf habit.
It’s worse than you’d think with how they’re doing it. Still pay the old salary level taxes but forced to put a certain percentage of the remainder into a fund for retirement that they do not guarantee will be there for use. Essentially, we are being taxed twice, reducing take home pay.

I bet noone in congress us getting the pay cut they deserve!
Nope, they routinely increase their salaries and benefits.
Who knew fascism would be so expensive? And all those punchable faces sitting around Trump's table. He should have demanded they wear those stupid hats through the entire meeting to consummate the humiliation. I'm so done with Trump's demented slop.
Carl, I can tell you I was dismayed that my daughter, who is at University in Germany, and has a small internet hobby business, had to pay taxes this year. Not because she should not pay taxes, but because she had to pay into social security and medicare. She will very likely not collect on either one. However, to do this, she has gone from being an innocuous person in the world, to someone who gave Elon Musk her bank routing number. That was my biggest concern.
Unless things turn around greatly in the US before my daughter permanently settles herself into Germany, where she is a part of a German public health insurance that technically will follow her until death, she will not be collecting medicare, because right now Americans who have paid into it do not get to collect it unless you live in the US. Since most health care systems are cheaper than the US, it would be cheaper for the US to pay for people to be cared for abroad than in the US. She might get social security from the US, but I am not sure it won't be privatized and destroyed. A grand theft of gargantuan proportions, that has me concerned my husband and I won't be able to collect from a life of working in the US either.
Also, when you live abroad and are not a billionaire, or even a millionaire, you have to file in both the country you earn money in and the US. You are not allowed to have investments abroad, and you will pay the taxes whichever place is higher. This is not true of every country, but it is of the US, so many Americans are giving up their citizenship. Even then, you have to file US taxes for 10 years or you won't be collecting your social security or other monies owed to you, even if you don't owe the US a single penny.
Trump is wary of Americans abroad, thus the part of the SAVE act which has us having to vote in person. Again, unless you are super wealthy that is not so doable. And, who wants to fly to the US just to vote. No one. It also will have the effect of disenfranchising those in the military who are abroad as well. So, we want to only file where we have to pay, and be able to vote by mail, or email, or fax. It varies from state to state what we can do. We also want enough time in which to do this.
Thanks for sharing this! I'm bookmarking it — this proposed budget is fucking insane.
Pious Pam Bondi better review her Commandments, especially that pesky one about bearing false witness. That means lying, Bondi. Which you do repeatedly.
She got lots of practice here in FL.
Golly gee! I’m sure glad that I’m one of the saved from death by fentanyl! But I may die laughing at the ridiculous fucking numbers they make up to show how “great” they’re making the country again
Yeah, mark me safe from fentanyl today.
There's always tomorrow.
I have to throw another comment out here. If you have a chance watch Stephen Colbert's show from last night, he has a clip of the interview of Trump with Terry Moran. It starts out with Terry standing over Trump at the desk and Trump is explaining the Declaration of Independence hanging on the wall and quote, "it's all about love" and some other blathering shit, and the cameraman zooms in on Terry's face and the look he gives Trump is, holy fuck you are fucking insane. A picture is worth 1000 words rings true.
It was awesome! Love Colbert, in fact I have an alarm set on my phone to watch it in case I'm doing something else :)
I wish I could have captured Terry's face and posted in my comment. It just says everything we are feeling and seeing in one picture.
I'm going to my tape of Colbert right now !
During Biden’s administration Donald blamed everything bad in our country on Biden, for over 4 years. At that point I stated that if Donald was in office again he would blame any failures on Biden for the next 4 years. I think I hit that one out of the park. Best to All
Joe Biden has been living rent free in Dumpy's head for years! I always think it's because dumpy feels inferior - which he is.
His narcissism is really a freight train out of control. It’s the reason everything is so screwed up - he needs to be introduced to the 5th story window.
A black hole, "I will suck all light and life from anything that comes near me. I will destroy everything I touch."
The Orange hole, "Hold my beer."
The title of Rick Wilson’s book is a gift that keeps on giving.
I've never seen so many forelock tugging Uriah Heeps in one room. Pam Bondi, the most Uriah-like of them all, claims they've saved 75% of Americans from certain death by Fentanyl. I'm pretty sure 75% of Americans wouldn't have a clue how to get hold of a dose of Fentanyl.
One thing is for certain. These clowns live in a cave. Their perception of reality is pre 1950. Just fucking stupid.
Pam Bondi flunked every math class she ever attempted.
And a very high percentage of Americans have probably never heard of Fentanyl. You have to be able to read and maybe spell, and actually watch the news to understand that.
But we hear a lot about "fettanol": an imaginary drug brought here by Mexicans with legs like cantaloupes
I wonder if Bondi ever heard of Uriah Heep (the band)? Demons & Wizards.
She's very familiar with "stealing, when you should have been buying."
In the song “Stealing” he banged the Farmers daughter- who did Bondi Blondie bang to get into that position which she has no possible reason to be holding?
Excellent question. My guess is numbers in the double digits.
She was pretty chonky back then, so I would say it was her ability to suck up and praise evil, in the form of republican males. DeathSantis being a prime example. I’m not sure he possesses a dangling male appendage.
Lawrence O’Donnell re-named the diaper shitting Orange Hitler “Donny Two Dolls” after his diaper-shitting remarks from the Fecal Office yesterday. What a fucking biblical loser.
“I’m dreaming of a two doll Xmas,
Just Like the one we never had before…
It’s just too bad honey,
The tariffs took your bunny
No sense looking store to store”….

That's exactly how I remember it.
Right...now they're telling us what we can and cant have. I'm literally counting the days till these insane people are out of our lives.
And the business with the ABC reporter, Dump arguing with him about the MS13 tattoo that was photoshopped...HOLY CHRIST! 🤦♀️
Jesus, what a nightmare we are living through. These “cabinet” officials should be beet red with shame for the bullshit praise each one spewed out. After listening to a couple of them I had to mute it; I was so embarrassed for them. NO job is worth that.
Yeah after hearing his worshipers gushing about him, I wanted to hurl.Ugh
