Nevertheless Jeff, Trump has withdrawn the names of Joseph Goebbels for the White House Press Office and Hannibal Lecter for Secretary of Agriculture after noting that one is dead and the other is a fictional character. He has also withdrawn “Yosemite Sam” for the Department of the Interior after a discussion with his Deputy Chief of Hate and Fear, Stephen Miller.

Foghorn Leghorn is expected to sue to be reconsidered for Press Secretary, on grounds of cartoon AH SAY, cartoon discrimination.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 "AH SAY" - Foghorn Leghorn

Rick Calegari's avatar

Daffy Duck might have something to say about this as well. Hell, any of these beloved cartoon characters from the good old days would be a better fit then these unqualified boot-licking fucks that we've seen the last two days. Hopefully, most of the Senate will have the good sense not to vote for incompetent and dangerous zealots and weasels like Huckabee and the rest of the MAGA shit disturbers.

Mombeka's avatar

Apparently there’s some scheme afoot to call a recess of the Senate so that none of the Trump appointments get approved. I’m so exhausted that I can’t remember the details, but this obscure act allows Trump to put his people in place without approval by the Senate.

Linda Weide's avatar

Yes. It appears that Democrats have to stay on top of every move that these Cretins make, and then make long term take back plans just like the MAGAs did. Still, I am glad that I heard about HR 9495 and was able to get my congressman to vote NO, and sent info to everyone I knew asking them to do contact him as well, or their own congress person. Here is Public Notice discussing the recess rules in more detail.

My Dem congressman voted yes. I called his office and raised hell and made it clear that a lot of us would be working to primary him in 2026.

Linda Weide's avatar

Thank you Linda! We all need to be getting together a list of who to get rid of in 2026. Good news is that they are still counting ballots in some places, and a recount is happening in Pennsylvania too.

PJ Schuster's avatar

I’m placing my bets on Trump just forcing a recess of both houses of Congress if their respective leaders do not do it on their own; & he actually can do that!!

I believe he wants to neuter Congress, humiliate them, make them irrelevant. That is what dictators, authoritarians do. He doesn’t want any of those extremely unqualified appointees to be subjected to live streamed confirmation hearings for the American people to see their behavior, & hear about all the skeletons in their backgrounds.

Linda Weide's avatar

The plan from Project 2025 is to turn the US into a Christian Nationalist theocracy. I don't think it is going to be as popular or easy to do as planned given that the majority of the country is not a CN.

arne link's avatar

It wouldn't be the first time that religion has been forced on people. Remember when they burned people at the stake?

That means Democrats can't be voting for ways to give divine power to the horror stories I keep seeing every day. I feel like I'm in a Stanley Kubrick film and I'm trapped and can't get out!!

Ima put in my nomination for Scooby Do for Secretary of Defense. He seems way more competent than Hegseth.

They will all cave to Trump. They're either in the tank or terrified of him and his brownshirts. Watch a few Dem Senators go along as well.

O the people that voted tRump because of Gaza.

kdsherpa's avatar

Insane! They have voted for tRump's daughter and her husband to destroy the coast of Palestine and put up condos. And I thought this was just a (non funny) joke. Horrifyingly, it is true. So to all Arabs who voted for tRump, because Harris's husband is Jewish, I say: "LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE!"

David A Pitock's avatar

Tell that to the general public.

Diana Hembree's avatar

Maybe they voted against Harris because Democratic presidents keep sending bombs for Israel to drop on people in Gaza, something the UN, ICC, and ICJ all consider crimes against humanity. And the 80 percent of white people who voted for Trump had more to do with Trump's victory, I think.

kdsherpa's avatar

My old fart rep voted for this nightmare bill. If he doesn't retire in 2026 I'm going to work to primary the hell out of him.

Strong backers of Israel maybe got something to do with it. Dig a bit and see if they aren’t backed by AIPAC. A bit of digging will probably give you an answer.

PJ Schuster's avatar

I can understand the intent of the bill, as I have no doubt that there are NGOs that are serving as a cover for money to be laundered through to finance terrorist orgs. Churches in the U.S. funnel money into political campaigns to get their extreme Evangelicals elected, & that is so wrong, & I definitely would like them to lose their tax exempt status cancelled.

My objection is granting that power to the Secy of the Treasury, especially at this time when Trump is appointing unqualified yes men to all those cabinet positions who will 100% do what they’re told. They don’t need to do anything to grant him more power!!!

He’s going to be seizing power with both hands; don’t help him.

Sharon Hudnall's avatar

Inhale and catch the odor of Netanyahu. It's intended to penalize any criticism of Israel. Ironically, given the terrorism and genocide practiced by IDF, the tables can be turned in the future.

Deborah Hunter's avatar

That's how I feel. What are we missing or not getting?

M Apodaca's avatar

From jacobin.com: The current version — which was introduced by Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY), and cosponsored by Brad Schneider (D-IL), and Dina Titus (D-NV) — is paired with a provision that would provide tax relief to American hostages held by terror groups and other Americans unjustly imprisoned abroad.

Hamadanchy said combining the two provisions was likely a ploy to push the nonprofit-terror bill through with as little opposition as possible.

kdsherpa's avatar

So in exchange for giving tax relief for the half-dozen American hostages abroad, we get rid of all of the tax-deductible organizations because the Republicans will say that they are run by terrorist organizations. Uh huh. Tell THAT to my friend who runs a no-kill animal shelter! She'll sic the dogs and cats on those no-good-SOB's. The Pugs will wish they'd kept their big fat mouths SHUT!

Robert Eckert's avatar

Noem will make no-kill shelters illegal (I'm joking, at least I think I am)

Marycat2021's avatar

Claudia Tenney campaigned hard on immigration and had TV ads playing nightly even outside her district. She claimed that Canada was letting criminals from third world countries cross over into the US. And she's a staunch pro-Israel mouthpiece. I have always believed she has been jockeying for a Trump administration job, and her introduction of this bill is the only proof I need.

Deborah Hunter's avatar

Titus is from Vegas. She's always been decent. My rep, Steven Horsford, didn't vote for this I don't think.

Linda Fulcher's avatar

My rep is Steny Hoyer and he voted for it, the obnoxious old fart. Primary time for him in 2026 if he doesn't retire. Coward.

Deborah Hunter's avatar

This is the problem when stand alone bills aren't passed.

Deborah Hunter's avatar

You can pimp any of them out for power. The only one I can think of who did the right thing and gave up her seat was Liz Cheney.

SPW's avatar

She and Kinzinger were primaried out of their seats.

MzNicky in East Jesus, TN's avatar

Because of their work on the Jan. 6 Select Committee.

PJ Schuster's avatar

Yes, they were, but they knew ahead of that, that if they cooperated with the Ds on that committee that they would lose their seats in the next election; & a good chance they might even lose their lives.

T L Mills's avatar

Maine's Jared Golden (who's race hasn't even been called for him yet)--well, he's not that much of a surprise; he's only a half-assed Dem as it is. His district is deep red rural Maine 😢🙄

Mike Hammer's avatar

He called on congress for an assault weapons ban following the massacre.

T L Mills's avatar

Yes, that is the one really good thing that he has done. But his recent challenger, Austin Theriault (Mike Johnson's picked choice) ran ENDless ads--back to back for weeks, from the ammosexuals, castigating him for it but never once mentioning the massacre that led to Golden's changed views. Lewiston is his home town, after all. I wouldn't have thought Theriault would have the gall to run pro-gun ads right around the one-year anniversary of the mass shooting but he did. 🤬

HI2thDoc's avatar

Linda McCaughey's avatar

My Rep--Sharice Davids of Kansas--voted yes. Cannot figure that out at all. Sometimes, I think some of them will vote for a bill when they know it won't pass even if they do for obscure tit-for-tat reasons we know nothing about.

Robert Eckert's avatar

Or maybe there was a provision in the bill that the Republicans were missing the significance of.

I am not. Jared Kushner has been in Israel scoping out the land to build exclusive homes and hotels there. That’s why he got over $2 billion from the Saudi Prince, MBS. Sane Israelis are mortified but the Orthodox religious extremists are ecstatic. Grateful my parents aren’t alive to witness their fellow Jews go so dark.

kdsherpa's avatar

O. M. G. !!!!! So Israel, re-created b/o the genocide of Jews in Europe, is now committing genocide?! O. M. G. !!!!! I thought the whole "condo" thing was a joke. O. M. G. !!!!! And this makes the Orthodox extremists ecstatic -- exactly why? Is it because of "reclaiming" the land that once (two thousand years ago) was part of inhabited by Jews? The revenge in that is astounding! My husband is Tibetan. Since 1959, their country and its people (including virtually all of the hundreds of thousands of monks and nuns -- along with all but a few of the 6,000 monasteries there since ancient times) have been utterly destroyed by the Chinese. So is it OK that in the year 4025 for the Tibetans to return, kick out the people who have been living there for the past 2,000 years, and kill them if they refuse to leave? Trust me. The Tibetans would never even think of such behavior. There was a prophecy long ago that "when the horse runs on wheels and the iron bird flies, the people of Tibet will be scattered across the face of the earth." Since that prophecy has come to be, the attitude of the Tibetan leaders and the people is, "This has been given to us as the opportunity to teach the Dharma all over the world." Perhaps if the Jews could have taken what happened in Israel/Judaea in the year 64 as as something positive, viewed the diaspora as an opportunity to share the teachings of the Torah throughout the world -- how very different things could be now -- not just in Israel, but across the entire earth. It would mean giving up the view of being "the chosen People", however. That's one of the things Jesus taught: we are ALL "chosen people", chosen by God to do all of the righteous and ethical things which are TAUGHT by the Torah. I am absolutely broken-hearted that the Orthodox Jews believe what they are doing to the Palestinians is moral and just. I am, literally, sick at heart.

Carol C's avatar

What Jesus did teach conflicts with what many evangelicals have heard, which is that THEY and they alone are the chosen people. (If God loves those other people, why are they not prosperous? God shows his approval by your material success, right? Why read the New Testament? Just pay your dues to your televangelists and megachurches. You’ll do very well for yourself.)

Nightmaher's avatar

Funny story about that. I had a yard sale like 30 years ago and my neighbor asked to bring some of her stuff and we agreed she would cover hers and I would do mine. We took turns looking after the whole thing when breaks were needed. One of hers was a fur toilet seat set that was given to her as a joke bridal shower gift. Who pulls up just when she was leaving to the bathroom but this big pink Cadillac with bull horns attached to where the hood in place of the ornament sits. The husband and wife were excited when they spotted the fur seat set. I nearly died just as they paid me the wife said we’ve been needing a new one because their bathroom had no heat and the husband needed it warm to do his duty. She side whispered this to me. I did everything to not laugh and felt like I was on Candid camera. The husband was dressed like a cowboy with chaps and spurs included. She even gave me a tip and tried to give me her phone number to call her if I ever came across one again. After they drove away they tooted their horn which sounded like a bull call. My neighbor came out as they left laughing her head off. She saw the whole thing from her window but couldn’t stop laughing at the look of the whole thing but she said especially my face. I never had a yard sale again, my neighbor did but I declined to join her.

Susan Niemann's avatar

OMG! 🤣🤣🤣. That’s hilarious! You can’t make that up! I remember padded toilet seats. They would eventually crack and pinch. My mom had one. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

He’s suffering from dementia, and they will prop him up, a la “Weekend at Bernie’s”. JD will run the government until #47 is too far gone to pretend, then they’ll evict him via 25th amendment, and JD will take over.

I can’t say I like what you wrote, but you are right, of course.

I agree with propping him up. But eviction? Never! The maggots would be swarm the White House. Nah. They're going to have to poison him. (pukin can advise) That's the only way.

No. Trump's has a broken brain and his emotional and mental development pretty much ended at the age of 2. He's also been meaner than a riled up rattler all his life, as well.

I guarantee those 52 did not read that bill through, or somehow missed the poison pill part. What it would have done is made any non-profit that works for better government or points out the bad parts (think SPLC) a terrorist organization.

Churches need to be on the terrorist list and have to pay taxes.

You’re absolutely correct Deborah, I was struggling to find a perfectly simple explanation, thanks!!

This bill is a direct descendant of the Attorney General's List of the 1950s that was used to persecute left-leaning organizations. Look it up if you don't know about it.

They read it. They're doing a little "anticipatory obedience". The biggest surprises were Adam Schiff, Colin Allred, Lucy McBath, Steny Hoyer, and Elissa Slotkin. Making themselves into absolute assholes.

Moskowitz too. Incredibly disappointing. I keep wondering if there’s some other method to the madness I’m overlooking, but I just can’t seem to find it.

Linda Fulcher's avatar

Moskowitz?! Possibly this has something to do with support for Israel and an attempt to hold on to Jewish voters. Otherwise I have no idea what the hell they were thinking. Going to call my rep today and demand to know why he voted for this fascist nightmare.

I’m trying hard to imagine WTF goes on in these schlubs heads!!

It would have targeted nonprofits providing support for Palestinians.

As well as many other groups that dare protest against the status quo.

I’m just glad the damn thing was defeated. Be on the lookout for it or something like it to be reintroduced in the new session.

When I saw the DoGE reference yesterday, I thought it was a joke, which Elmo’s crypto has been (though it did increase to $0.44 from $0.42). Apparently not. So who’s going to be heading the Ministry of Truthiness?

Doesn't Doge spell 'dodge' like all the criminals are doing right now?

Kay-El's avatar

Lol, actually I think the “o” is pronounced as it is in hose, but your point is taken.

Denise Hall's avatar

Not in this administration.

KL Pierce's avatar

Wow! Now all of those 3rd party voters can pat themselves on the back for voting to accelerate the genocide in Gaza and probably the West Bank too!

"jamming one cheeseburger after another into his rancid anus-mouth" Ok! Ya got me back, Jeff! I can't stop laughing!!!

The good news is that this bill was defeated, bad news is that dems voted for it? I would like Adam Schiff and Debbie Dingell to go on the record and say WHY they voted for this bill that would potentially allow orange shit stain to dictate how we treat NGO’s. I would listen to them but the explanation better be good!

Anne Whitney's avatar

I think Katie Porter has an explanation and many choices words for Schiff and his money bags. For all his indignation I'm not seeing a lot of results and when he tried to insert himself into contention against trump I really thought he must have been delusional crossing the most powerful woman in the US - what kind of message did that send about him? He's 0 for 2 this yr with me.

I just watched “The Apprentice” movie last night, as if my brain needed more reasons to hate Trump. Even though it’s a movie it reveals some interesting tidbits. Like Rudy being called a fag and trumps lust for big tits, and Ivana (wife 1) telling him he’s orange. I laughed at that one. If you want to stick your head down the rabbit hole a little more, watch it but remove any objects that you might hurl at your TV. I can understand why he didn’t want it released, but here we are with four more years of “The Stupidest President Ever”. I’m scared shitless to look around the corner. We’re all in this together, like it or not.
