by the way, the AbilityOne Commission is a real thing. I googled 'obscure government agencies' and it was the very first item to come up.
"The AbilityOne Commission creates job opportunities for people who are blind or have other significant disabilities in the manufacture and delivery of products and services to the Federal Government."
hey everyone, look at me. I’m overqualified to work at the Department of Breaking Shit You Don’t Understand
Following a bit of Russian State TV would be good for understanding the epoch, especially when Putin hears news of Trumps presidential victory, and says in Russian “great, he knows how much he owes me”!!
Not surprising considering these people make fun of the disabled.
Co president shitheel Muskrat and that Rancid asshole from the swamp are foaming at mouth about how many people's lives they can ruin. Now that the House count sits at 217-215, we can only hope that the GOP quest for total destruction for everything that's good won't necessarily be a slam dunk.
Rick, are all votes counted? There were two CA House races that were outstanding, last I heard. If it's OVER with 217-215, that's better than I hoped for. Let turd keep naming House Reps, fucking up MJ's majority bc he's that clueless.
I think there are enough (though admittedly a small minority) of GOP to throw monkey wrenches at the most egregious legislation the rest of the feces throwers can toss.
Dunno how rabid, foaming at the mouth fixed news hooked up with an org helping disabled & blind people. Hopefully convict-elect won't reenact his making fun of a disabled person.
Jeff, would you be willing to get a haircut to give Donnie convict an award? We all promise to attend with paper bags over our heads. I'd pay a month's rent just to hear you do the double entendres.
After seeing yesterday’s declaration of martial law in South Korea, I with a speech that could have been written by Trumps boy Miller, we could see that exact thing happen here Kathleen!!
I was hoping Joe might do the Martial Law thing right here in the good old U.S.of A. While we still have a U.S. of A. Worth protecting!🇺🇸 He’s got plenty of reasons considering what we know is about to happen ! It’s time for the Grand opening of the movie we saw the rehearsals for on Jan 6 th ,I don’t think it’s going to be a GP flick ! Covering the kids eyes ain’t gonna work this time Ma …they’re not only gonna see it they’re gonna be the sorry as players in it ! I wonder if The illustrious Leader will get another Patriotism Award 🥇 for writing the screenplay!
Your future narratives for Commander Crazy Pants and his Clown posse will be my go-to so I can get through the next 4 years.
A fucking rapist is about to become our president which is embarrassing. It is bothersome that so many people chose the worthless idiot over a well qualified candidate. Crazy Pants shouldn't have been allowed to be on the ballots.
His crass comments, stench and idiotic thought process will be glorious fodder for journalists, meanwhile, constituents suffer in his wake of chaos he'll create. It's going to be rough but I'm hoping he'll glitch out and then Couch Humper Vance will replace him. Couch Humper is of similar mindset but not someone seeking vengeance like Crazy Pants is.
Wonder how long he will last. We all witnessed the 29 second dance rally, he talks in word salads, the clock is ticking.
As disgusting as all this is…if it weren’t for your lovely vocabulary…I’d probably go nuts: “narcoleptic fart factory, Dept. of breaking shit you don’t understand, Jesus ketamine Christ (!), commander crazypants, cuck todd :)….unpleasant bobblehead”….I mean THANK YOU!
Tell me about it he was out of a job here in '26, and no one, including fellow repubs wanted him in any position, because he robbed them blind to pay for his disastrous, abortion of a presidential campaign.
🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸I posted what Jeff said about Hunter Biden on the Bulwark yesterday and it became the top comment with 132 likes.
yeah, Joe made that promise half a year ago. gee, what changed between then and now? did a fascist get elected president? did he name as his FBI director a perpetual motion retribution factory with an unhealthy obsession about persecuting Hunter Biden?
In theory it is a value to a liberal that someone can change his mind when new evidence arises. The Hunter pile-on seems to be proof that not all Dems share that liberal value.
For those worried about the "effect on the rule of law"
1. The rule of law is actually that the President can pardon whoever he damn well pleases, as trump showed bigly. See Constitution.
2. What is worse for the public perception of the rule of law: pardoning someone when his admitted crimes are of a nature few if any people are prosecuted for, or constantly delaying prosecution of someone who denies he did what evidence clearly shows he did (or for that matter, clearing him on impeachment when the senators who said "no impeachment" almost all admitted that he actually DID what the articles of impeachment said he did.)
3. Pardoning your son is unprecedented in the same way that prosecuting a president who knowingly takes classified documents and refuses to return them is unprecedented: the occasion for neither has ever come up before. Apparently pardoning other relatives, like your daughter's father in law, is just fine.
Is the problem that Junior and Ka$h use the powder version and Hunter used the crack version? Or that Hunter seems to have kicked his habit and Junior and Ka$h haven't even tried?
In fact, Jr is still rubbing his gums with the shit in front of god and everybody now. And Hunter is clean and sober(one day at a time)for 5.5 years now, taxes and interest paid and PARDONED 🎶🎉! Suck it all y’all maga bums!
Those democrats pissing and moaning over this pardon is complete bullshit. Fucking aye. We need to gather our resources and fight the class warfare happening right now. Like Warren Buffet says, "we (the rich) started this class war and we're winning." Politicians are dipshit grifters. No wonder we are losing this country to billionaires.
Even with pardons, I hope Hunter & family move out of the U.S. Maga can't get Joe Biden for anything real, but Hunter is like Hilary & Benghazi. We can't be sure if maga will honor pardons.
I wish he had pardoned his whole family and a boatload of other people because those fuckers are bent on revenge. They don’t need to find anything, they just make stuff up.
Agree with you Teri. They should move as far away as possible. My fear will be since Elon is attached to Putin’s hip they’ll be able to get to them and “take them out”. This is Putin’s specialty. He did it in the UK several times in 2006. And many other times against people he deemed disloyal. In 2018 he also send his goons with a highly poisonous nerve agent to Salisbury, UK to get a father and daughter. Last year same happened in Berlin. Hunter Biden and family will need 24/7 protection. Daddy Vlad along with Elon and Trump are unforgiving and revengeful to the core
Hunter had to be pardoned to save his life. Rethugs can't get to Biden, so how long till the calls "hang Hunter Biden". And he needs to disappear with his family. Biden's Achilles heel.
The repubs specialize in ruining certain people’s lives, aka Ruby (?) and her daughter Shaye Moss for handing off a ginger mint during the vote tally a few elections ago. They not only had to leave their homes, they had to move to an undisclosed location.
Somebody needs to ask these assholes: Have you ever changed your mind about anything? Did that make you a liar? Changing your mind because of drastically changing circumstances like what has occurred in this country is not lying - it’s adapting.
I’ll go with you. I understand the right wing monkeys screeching but Democrats & the AH “Never Trumpers” saying it, too, is just a bridge too far for me
Hey, Donnie! I grew up in Norfolk Virginia. My uncle used to take me to the Naval Base to see the ships all decorated for Christmas. I think that makes me a good candidate for Secretary in Charge of Things that Float. Can I be in your cabinet too?
I’m former Navy. Must say, I was less than impressed with ‘what’s his name’ being nominated as Secretary of the Navy. I guess his first day will be a presentation on” this is a ship, this is a boat.” The pointy end is called the bow. And leeward is ‘loo-ward’ not ‘Lee-ward.’ My heart aches for the Admirals who will brief him.
David, don’t be a shirker! With all that real-life knowledge, you should throw your hat in the ring for the position! I mean, you might not have seen all the boats shinied up with Christmas lights like Gini, but you are a man. Right?
Good idea! I live fairly close to an Air Force Base. Can I be Secretary of the Air Force, Donnie? I've never been in the service, Air Force or any other branch, but I have been a passenger on commercial airlines. I feel that qualifies me for the post. Pleeeeeeeze?
We all knew Trump was going to cram his family down our throats AGAIN. Kushner Ambassador to France. Tiffany's father in law to an African/Middle East job. (Sorry too lazy to look up the actual name). From what I read about Hegseth, Meatball is a tiny, itsy bitsy step up from him.
DeSatan at least has some experience running a large bureaucracy (how well is another question) but his constant repetition of woke woke woke could be a real morale problem for the troops.
She MAY have faked a breast cancer diagnosis yo gain sympathy. Healed VERY quickly, no signs of chemo or radiation treatment (appearance NEVER changed, and her hair is still what it was before), cried her way through campaign ads for her shitty husband
Given her taste in overdressing for event (caped evening gown with opera gloves for a "business professional" swearing in, coordinating her children's outfits a la the Princess of Wales), she has been given the name #TackyO
She, and her mother were pissed, that the hairdresser that did their hair for her wedding, wouldn't do it for free, so, no, they are nasty grifters too.
Glad you were only pretending Karla. Tiffany clearly will do anything to get some positive juju from her daddy. She is of a piece with the others… just visually more unappealing
How come anvils aren’t dropping from the sky? Has Chuck Jones taught us nothing? C’mon, man. If you can control the weather surely you can drop them anvils!!! It’s a target-rich environment.
Wow! So while Musk et al are busy killing every program that does not make the air, food, and water dirtier, or the super-rich even richer, other countries, especially China, are doing intense research and development of ecotechnology. We will be looking at the wonders of coal- something i am sure the rest of the world will be envious of. This can only happen in a country with a sizable, amazingly stupid electorate.
Even the author of "Idiocracy" said he was amazed it came true so fast. He figured it would take a hundred years, the way the stupid breed. He was shocked they multiplied enough in twenty.
I've been associated with the US Army for over 40 years. They buy their pens from a company that uses blind and disabled workers, which I'm sure falls under AbilityOne, and those are the best damn pens in the world, bar none.
Jeff Daniels, at least, is a Dem. He made a campaign ad for Biden in 2020. And he's extremely intelligent and multi-faceted. In other words, no chance he'd make the orange cabinet.
My favorite film of all time! I used to call myself 'Maude Lebowski' online. I nominate Walter Sobchek for head of National Security. (Shut the f*k up, Donnie)
I think you misunderstood me. I was hoping these two actors could infiltrate the Trump Administration and sabotage the operation secretly behind the scene. They can act like they're helping, when they are actually undermining.
The other day, I caught the episode of Gilligan’s Island where a deposed Latin American despot lands on the island. Gilligan dreams that he’s the puppet president of this guy. In the dream, the generalissimo demands that the cabinet stand and sing President Gilligan’s praises.
Anyway, it all sounded so familiar and was parodied in the 1960s on a very dumb, and apparently prescient, TV show.
As much as I hate to say it, I hope the Trump voters get EXACTLY what they deserve, though truly feel badly for all of us. Sometimes kids don’t learn until they actually get BURNED after touching the fore you warned them about.
As for the pardon, I’m 100% sure Biden’s only concern was his son and grandkids, especially the tiny one. I suspect he’s also very bitter. He worked hard to get things moving after COVID. Yes. He made mistakes as one does. And yes, he should never have run for reelection. But the Dems crapped on him. They’re now throwing him under the bus with the pardon. Fuck them all, honestly.
Stephen Robinson, in his blog today, talked about trump unleashing the flying monkey squad. I wish some forthright non BS democrat would come out and say that. Quit tiptoeing around the obvious reason for the pardon— the gop lackeys and morons.
Even when MAGATS get burned they will still kiss Trump's ass. Nothing will stop them from voting Republican because they will still enjoy seeing Trump kick "those people' down. It's what they live for.
That's because anything/everything that goes wrong will be Obama's and Biden's fault. They'll probably find reasons to blame stuff on Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton, too.
Memories of the 80s when the Corporate Controlled Conservative Press endlessly blamed Jimmy Carter for every bad thing that happened under Pruneface Reagan and Old Fart Bush.
Love Gilligan's Island! Silly and implausible but with a keen eye for human nature. That episode you mentioned parodied the so-called Banana Republics with their unstable politics. Well, thanks to trump, we had an attempted coup and have a wannabe dictator who wants to use the military against our own citizens within the boundaries of our nation.
I used to play a lot of Avalon Hill war games when I was in college. That makes me more qualified to be secretary of defense than the drunk who doesn't wash his hands!
Hey! I play a WWII strategy game on my phone! I guess that makes me eminently qualified for the position. Wait though! I'm not a drunk and a rapist. Oh well.....
We are living in the movie Idiocracy! (Kornbluth's 1951 short story "Marching Morons" was prophetic for what's coming, as well.)
The natural dividing line in politics is settling out as Stupids vs Not Stupids. Not Democrat and Republican. There are Stupids in both Parties. The GOP is now run by Loud Stupids, and there's a lot more Stupids over there. (Believing in fantasies is a prerequisite for MAGA membership.)
The leaders of the Democratic Party should realize they are now the party of the Not Stupids. And act like it. Be Smart. Be Ethical. Be Honorable. Be Courteous. Call out the Stupids and correct them when they are factually wrong. Hold up reality to their faces and push back against their dumb ideas. Meanness isn't needed. What is needed is a firm stance, loudness and persistence. A Rational Smart Democrat leader must announce that Qanon and astrology and snake oil and chemtrails are all make-believe.
If the Democratic Party is to survive it must appeal to the third cohort: The Apathetic. In this election more adults did not vote than voted for either candidate. There are 258 million adults in the US. 77 million voted for Trump. 75 million voted for Harris. That's 152 million who voted. 106 million did not vote. If the Democrats can get through to just 10% of the Apathetic, they win.
There's lots of Stupids in the mass media as well. Democratic Party leaders fail to call out the Stupids in the Press. If the Press won't ask the Why questions of Trump World, the Rational Dems must do it. When a panel moderator asks a stupid question, call it out. When a panel pundit says something stupid, call it out. Big and loud and proud! (Before the election there were many Dem spokespersons on TV who let the lies and stupidity slide by. Dems! You have to stop letting the Stupids slide!)
That was a good insight, identifying a third cohort of American citizens, the Apathetics. Honestly, I think it would make a great (and near majority) third party if someone could start organizing it. Bonus: it would peel off a lot more present day Repub. voters than Democrat ones. By the way, this is all tongue-in-cheek, but it's a fun diversion.
It’s almost unbelievable the level of stupidity exhibited by each and every one of the Sewer Clowns. If it wasn’t so scary and sad, it would seem to be a parody. Let’s hope then next four years go by quickly, before the idiots break our country beyond repair.
See, Pamela, you’re pretending there’s hope they won’t break our country beyond repair. They will. It’s up to every single one of us to find ways to actively resist all the time.
Lisa, did you ever watch Rachel Maddow during d-con's first term? Behind her was a large chart, listing the firings & resignations. There were so many, the chart wouldn't fit into the screen.
Lisa, the only concern you need to have now is which eyeball you’re going to gouge out first. The left or the right. I say this to lighten things up a bit and help keep you from allowing them to unnerve you.
The key to the survival of Democracy is that the MAGA-fascists are primarily morons. By the time they figure out how to destroy it, they will be out of office.
by the way, the AbilityOne Commission is a real thing. I googled 'obscure government agencies' and it was the very first item to come up.
"The AbilityOne Commission creates job opportunities for people who are blind or have other significant disabilities in the manufacture and delivery of products and services to the Federal Government."
hey everyone, look at me. I’m overqualified to work at the Department of Breaking Shit You Don’t Understand
All of us are overqualified compared to the fuckwits Agent Orange will put in place.
The execrable mewling wastrel is definitely a Putin puppet Kay-EI!
Right?! If you look closely Patrick, you can see the strings
Strings are never a necessity when dealing with a drug addled sycophantic and salacious narcissist Kay-EI!!
Following a bit of Russian State TV would be good for understanding the epoch, especially when Putin hears news of Trumps presidential victory, and says in Russian “great, he knows how much he owes me”!!
And he MAY just be scared enough of Putie to actually pay up for once.
That victory memo was issued on 11/4.
Yep because unlike those numbnuts we have an actual working brain ✌🏻💙
Well, shit…we wouldn’t want to help disabled people now would we…OMG
Not surprising considering these people make fun of the disabled.
Co president shitheel Muskrat and that Rancid asshole from the swamp are foaming at mouth about how many people's lives they can ruin. Now that the House count sits at 217-215, we can only hope that the GOP quest for total destruction for everything that's good won't necessarily be a slam dunk.
Rick, are all votes counted? There were two CA House races that were outstanding, last I heard. If it's OVER with 217-215, that's better than I hoped for. Let turd keep naming House Reps, fucking up MJ's majority bc he's that clueless.
According to a report, Adam Gray, a Democrat in the CA 13th Congressional District, flipped the last seat.
Yes, they both went to Dems.
Yay! Thanks Rick. 217-215 🥳🥳
You bet.
Thank fucking God!!
SO HAPPY when I heard this!!!
I’m pretty sure those two CA races were called for the Dems.
You can now be certain they were. :-)
And damn glad to hear it!
I think there are enough (though admittedly a small minority) of GOP to throw monkey wrenches at the most egregious legislation the rest of the feces throwers can toss.
As it currently stands, it will just take one defection to screw them up. O.N.E.
YAY!
Accurate as always Kay-El !!
And disabled vets make up a portion of those employees. Yeah, so let’s keep sticking it to the vets. 🥲
I'm sitting here shaking with laughter! This is SO INSANE that it can't POSSIBLY be true!! (Right! Right? right...)

Dunno how rabid, foaming at the mouth fixed news hooked up with an org helping disabled & blind people. Hopefully convict-elect won't reenact his making fun of a disabled person.
Don’t hold your breath Teri
See my comment above Teri!!
If there was a dollar in it, Fucks News would help manufacture rat's assholes into wedding rings for blind people.
Nah, being blind or disabled means you’re at the front of the guillotine line Tess!
We all know what Hitler did with such people.
Some of those products are labelled "Lighthouse San Francisco" and are in MRE's accessory packs.

Just wait a minute! Maybe DOGE will abolish the entire government. It would be better than MAGA actually running it.

That commission is a goner, assuming Swam and Skum firgure out what it does.
Priceless!
Thanks for jumping on that Google space to give us that first hand information. I could see how a space Nazi and a fuck wit would find that useless.
Now Trump has his very own AOC.

Yes, Tess — and that full description of DeSantis was the best part for me
I always enjoy the gif of DeSatan...it's an accurate visual of how he really is.😂😂
Those creepy white boots he wears, as if he were about to muck invisible horse stalls kills me Susan!
Tell me about it he was out of a job here in '26, and no one, including fellow repubs wanted him in any position, because he robbed them blind to pay for his disastrous, abortion of a presidential campaign.
His words create works of art that make DaVinci jealous.
Same!!!
I'm especially fond of "Jesus Ketamine Christ."
Most definitely!
Ditto about the vocabulary!!

Or . . . they’re DINOs
A mirror may help them with clarity Kathleen!
Is the problem that Junior and Ka$h use the powder version and Hunter used the crack version? Or that Hunter seems to have kicked his habit and Junior and Ka$h haven't even tried?
In fact, Jr is still rubbing his gums with the shit in front of god and everybody now. And Hunter is clean and sober(one day at a time)for 5.5 years now, taxes and interest paid and PARDONED 🎶🎉! Suck it all y’all maga bums!
Touché Nancy!!
Lucien Truscott gave him a shout out as well and said Jeff is a "must subscribe" to!
If I hear one more word about Biden ruining his legacy or causing a loss of trust in the office of president I'm going on a rampage!!!! GODDA**IT!!!!
MSM seems just as delusional as MAGA.
Those democrats pissing and moaning over this pardon is complete bullshit. Fucking aye. We need to gather our resources and fight the class warfare happening right now. Like Warren Buffet says, "we (the rich) started this class war and we're winning." Politicians are dipshit grifters. No wonder we are losing this country to billionaires.
A Democrat having a spine is long overdue. More of this please.
Exactly Lisa, “We the Serfs” were far too ignorant to understand the significance and complexity of an election about the haves and have nots!
I’m not sure “we” did it. Insane rulings from the corrupt Supreme Court gave us billionaires buying politicians with Citizens United
Remember Warren Buffet is in cash.
Even with pardons, I hope Hunter & family move out of the U.S. Maga can't get Joe Biden for anything real, but Hunter is like Hilary & Benghazi. We can't be sure if maga will honor pardons.
I wish he had pardoned his whole family and a boatload of other people because those fuckers are bent on revenge. They don’t need to find anything, they just make stuff up.
Every single person who tried to hold tRump & his Congressional minions to account should get pardons
Agree with you Teri. They should move as far away as possible. My fear will be since Elon is attached to Putin’s hip they’ll be able to get to them and “take them out”. This is Putin’s specialty.

Yep, having already suffered tremendously, with the loss of life he’s already been through Teri!
The repubs specialize in ruining certain people’s lives, aka Ruby (?) and her daughter Shaye Moss for handing off a ginger mint during the vote tally a few elections ago. They not only had to leave their homes, they had to move to an undisclosed location.
Don't forget the lady that told of Kavanaugh's bad behavior Christine Blassey-Ford, she had to go into hiding as well.

Hey, Donnie! I grew up in Norfolk Virginia. My uncle used to take me to the Naval Base to see the ships all decorated for Christmas. I think that makes me a good candidate for Secretary in Charge of Things that Float. Can I be in your cabinet too?
I hate to break it to you but you're a woman and you haven't been a lawyer for Donald J Trump.
I’m former Navy. Must say, I was less than impressed with ‘what’s his name’ being nominated as Secretary of the Navy. I guess his first day will be a presentation on” this is a ship, this is a boat.” The pointy end is called the bow.

Gini, WOW, definitely a great candidate! You are blonde and attractive, right? Bra size? Measurements? /s
Another observed effect of being MAGA: bra sizes tend to increase, for some reason
Of the after-market bolt-on variety.
Have you ever been in a beauty pageant or on TV, are evidence of qualifications Teri!
Good idea! I live fairly close to an Air Force Base. Can I be Secretary of the Air Force, Donnie? I've never been in the service, Air Force or any other branch, but I have been a passenger on commercial airlines. I feel that qualifies me for the post. Pleeeeeeeze?
Small pebbles float, as do ducks and... witches!
1. IIRC, isn’t DeathSentence’s qualifications for the Pentagon is that he enjoyed torture at Guantanamo?
2. Lara Trump for anything dumbs down that anything.
We all knew Trump was going to cram his family down our throats AGAIN. Kushner Ambassador to France. Tiffany's father in law to an African/Middle East job. (Sorry too lazy to look up the actual name). From what I read about Hegseth, Meatball is a tiny, itsy bitsy step up from him.
That bar is low enough to be buried.
And dug up with an excavator. What bar? They only one they know of sits on a corner that says open for happy hour.
Indeed, the Trump cabinet bar is definitely below ground Kay-EI!
Ron Ron did run a large state, unless someone else was doing it for him. And the credible rape stories would have come out by now...
He ran a large state into the ground. He's definitely qualified as a sewer clown.
A well oiled pre authoritarian state.
DeSatan at least has some experience running a large bureaucracy (how well is another question) but his constant repetition of woke woke woke could be a real morale problem for the troops.
Not as bad as having to wear tall white rubber boots
To Ron that's more important than force readiness.
I don’t think there will be any Ronda sex stories coming out. I mean, who could bear to admit it?
Unfortunately, rape victims don't get much say in the matter.
He's a total greed-head but his wife runs that show. My favorite quote about them is : "He's a vindictive fuck, she's worse."
She MAY have faked a breast cancer diagnosis yo gain sympathy. Healed VERY quickly, no signs of chemo or radiation treatment (appearance NEVER changed, and her hair is still what it was before), cried her way through campaign ads for her shitty husband
Given her taste in overdressing for event (caped evening gown with opera gloves for a "business professional" swearing in, coordinating her children's outfits a la the Princess of Wales), she has been given the name #TackyO
Ron is a spanker. Ask anyone who isn't white in Florida.
We don't call him Death-Santis here because he was a competent Gov. He spent most of his time "fund-raising and flying around on his "donor's" planes.
We are his personal North Korea.
I’d like to pretend that Tiffany isn’t ok with her father in law being part of this shit show. I hoped she was better than her siblings.
Why did you think that? She’s attended every one of Donnie’s big events
She, and her mother were pissed, that the hairdresser that did their hair for her wedding, wouldn't do it for free, so, no, they are nasty grifters too.
She's a Trump, isn't she? It is a genetic defect.
Glad you were only pretending Karla. Tiffany clearly will do anything to get some positive juju from her daddy. She is of a piece with the others… just visually more unappealing
It's sort of like the Peter Principle for Lara, although technically speaking you'd have to be competent at something to start with
She could be the senate singer.... 🙄
Steve said "competent."
Torture wears well on any resume, as does ignominious tosspot label Kay-EI!!
Out of sight observation, Kay-El.
Yes, that is absolutely correct. I wonder if they will frag him?
How come anvils aren’t dropping from the sky? Has Chuck Jones taught us nothing? C’mon, man. If you can control the weather surely you can drop them anvils!!! It’s a target-rich environment.
Did MSNBC finally fire Chuck Todd?
Don't forget, it's now Cuck Todd
Correct. Because now it's canon...
Choke Choad.
He’s now NBC’s top political analyst. 😏
🤢🤢
Boy did it take a long time for MSNBC to get rid of him.
Like Hannibal Lectter has a cooking segment on "Morning Joe."
No. Just gave the Sunday morning gig to someone else.
Great Roadrunner reference!
:D
Wow! So while Musk et al are busy killing every program that does not make the air, food, and water dirtier, or the super-rich even richer, other countries, especially China, are doing intense research and development of ecotechnology. We will be looking at the wonders of coal- something i am sure the rest of the world will be envious of. This can only happen in a country with a sizable, amazingly stupid electorate.
I mean, yes, but really Elon and Vivek can't do fuck-all in a 'department' that isn't cabinet level and I don't think Congress is going to create one.
Sissy SpaceX and Ramalamadingdong
No. We like Sissy. But Ramadama…. is great
Excuse me, Susan, that's Ramasalami.
One would hope not Nancy, to receive pay, for their work would necessitate congressional approval!
Over half the denizens in this country are poisoned by ignorance, are unctuous derps, tosspots, mooks, stunods, or have sub 50’s IQ’s Nancy!!
yes- I have used the statistic "54% of American adults read at a 6th grade level or lower to explain Trump many times- to myself and to others.
Even the author of "Idiocracy" said he was amazed it came true so fast. He figured it would take a hundred years, the way the stupid breed. He was shocked they multiplied enough in twenty.
I thought it was true the day it was released.
It was getting there, you were prescient.
The average person in this country is stupid - and half the population is even dumber than that!

I've been associated with the US Army for over 40 years. They buy their pens from a company that uses blind and disabled workers, which I'm sure falls under AbilityOne, and those are the best damn pens in the world, bar none.
Betsy, that's the truly sunshiniest post I've read in mos.! Yay for our Army for supporting our disabled community.💫⭐🌟🌅☀️🌞
Those are SKILCRAFT Government Pens.
Klown Kar Kabinet. Holy shit, it just gets dumber and dumber.
The next nominees will be Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels.
No - that would be a step UP
Good point. At least the news conferences would be spectacular!
Jeff Daniels, at least, is a Dem. He made a campaign ad for Biden in 2020. And he's extremely intelligent and multi-faceted. In other words, no chance he'd make the orange cabinet.
But he's an actor—maybe he can pull it off. The role of a lifetime.
Why not? A mediocre actor pulled off 8 years playing President on tv in the 80s.
Who was upstaged by a chimp.
Yep. I guess it was Bedtime for Ronso.
Jeff Daniels for Weed Czar! Finally watched The Big Lebowski. ROFLMAO🤣🤣
That would be Jeff Bridges in The Big Lebowski. He’s also smart and a dem.
Gah! TY
My favorite film of all time! I used to call myself 'Maude Lebowski' online. I nominate Walter Sobchek for head of National Security. (Shut the f*k up, Donnie)
Paula, is Walter Sobchek John Goodman's character? 🥰
Yes! What a wonderful character! "And Dude, Chinaman is not the proper nomenclature. Asian American, please."
Jim Carrey for FCC chair. He has experience. Just watch "The Cable Guy"
That would be an improvement Kathleen!
At least they would be entertaining.
Why are you insulting these actors who have done nothing? It’s not a good look for your normally entertaining posts.
I think you misunderstood me. I was hoping these two actors could infiltrate the Trump Administration and sabotage the operation secretly behind the scene. They can act like they're helping, when they are actually undermining.
The other day, I caught the episode of Gilligan’s Island where a deposed Latin American despot lands on the island. Gilligan dreams that he’s the puppet president of this guy. In the dream, the generalissimo demands that the cabinet stand and sing President Gilligan’s praises.
Anyway, it all sounded so familiar and was parodied in the 1960s on a very dumb, and apparently prescient, TV show.
As much as I hate to say it, I hope the Trump voters get EXACTLY what they deserve, though truly feel badly for all of us. Sometimes kids don’t learn until they actually get BURNED after touching the fore you warned them about.
As for the pardon, I’m 100% sure Biden’s only concern was his son and grandkids, especially the tiny one. I suspect he’s also very bitter. He worked hard to get things moving after COVID. Yes. He made mistakes as one does. And yes, he should never have run for reelection. But the Dems crapped on him. They’re now throwing him under the bus with the pardon. Fuck them all, honestly.
Stephen Robinson, in his blog today, talked about trump unleashing the flying monkey squad. I wish some forthright non BS democrat would come out and say that. Quit tiptoeing around the obvious reason for the pardon— the gop lackeys and morons.
Lara Trump? Florida deserves her
Even when MAGATS get burned they will still kiss Trump's ass. Nothing will stop them from voting Republican because they will still enjoy seeing Trump kick "those people' down. It's what they live for.
That's because anything/everything that goes wrong will be Obama's and Biden's fault. They'll probably find reasons to blame stuff on Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton, too.
Memories of the 80s when the Corporate Controlled Conservative Press endlessly blamed Jimmy Carter for every bad thing that happened under Pruneface Reagan and Old Fart Bush.
👆👆👆🎯They never stopped blaming D's, for not fixing R's messes fast enough, either!
And they made Joe Biden into Jimmy Carter.
Please sir, may I have another. Animal House.
Love Gilligan's Island! Silly and implausible but with a keen eye for human nature. That episode you mentioned parodied the so-called Banana Republics with their unstable politics. Well, thanks to trump, we had an attempted coup and have a wannabe dictator who wants to use the military against our own citizens within the boundaries of our nation.
Who's the banana republic now?
Damn, I don’t think I ever saw that one! I often replay The Great Dictator with Charlie Chapman to settle the grey matter that’s boiling in my head!
My husband didn’t remember it either. The episode is The Little Dictator.
Chaplin, I think you meant.
Exactly!! I had to laugh and cry at the same time
I know it’s a cult but it feels different this time…like they are finally going to learn the hard way. If you’re on TikTok,
type “FAFO” in the search bar,
sit back, and enjoy.
Ugh, no we do not, she's not even from here, she's from North Carolina!
There was an episode in which candidate Gilligan promises his voters, "This, that, and the other thing!"
Well said!! I totally agree with you!!
I really didn’t think anyone could out dumb Marquito as a Senator.
But here comes Lara trump to prove me wrong. Spectacularly wrong.
I used to play a lot of Avalon Hill war games when I was in college. That makes me more qualified to be secretary of defense than the drunk who doesn't wash his hands!
Hey! I play a WWII strategy game on my phone! I guess that makes me eminently qualified for the position. Wait though! I'm not a drunk and a rapist. Oh well.....
Then you lack MAGA qualifications
Come on Charlie.. you’re totally.. not you’re definitely not qualified.. decency is now a four letter word
You would make an excellent tactician!
I was into Strategy & Tactics.
Cuck Todd. OMG a laughed my ass off at that one.
I call him Upchuck Toad.
Me, too! I actually called him Upchuck Tard, but I got in trouble for that.
🙄 so silly, that's just short for PETARD 😉
I call him Chuckles the Todd.
COL I actually chuckled out loud !
You’re still working a comedy routine I see Kristy, love it!!
And I adore you my darling 😘
The natural response to any mention of Chuck Todd.
Mine has always more of a WTF!?!? But that will now change lol
We are living in the movie Idiocracy! (Kornbluth's 1951 short story "Marching Morons" was prophetic for what's coming, as well.)
The natural dividing line in politics is settling out as Stupids vs Not Stupids. Not Democrat and Republican. There are Stupids in both Parties. The GOP is now run by Loud Stupids, and there's a lot more Stupids over there. (Believing in fantasies is a prerequisite for MAGA membership.)
The leaders of the Democratic Party should realize they are now the party of the Not Stupids. And act like it. Be Smart. Be Ethical. Be Honorable. Be Courteous. Call out the Stupids and correct them when they are factually wrong. Hold up reality to their faces and push back against their dumb ideas. Meanness isn't needed. What is needed is a firm stance, loudness and persistence. A Rational Smart Democrat leader must announce that Qanon and astrology and snake oil and chemtrails are all make-believe.
If the Democratic Party is to survive it must appeal to the third cohort: The Apathetic. In this election more adults did not vote than voted for either candidate. There are 258 million adults in the US. 77 million voted for Trump. 75 million voted for Harris. That's 152 million who voted. 106 million did not vote. If the Democrats can get through to just 10% of the Apathetic, they win.
There's lots of Stupids in the mass media as well. Democratic Party leaders fail to call out the Stupids in the Press. If the Press won't ask the Why questions of Trump World, the Rational Dems must do it. When a panel moderator asks a stupid question, call it out. When a panel pundit says something stupid, call it out. Big and loud and proud! (Before the election there were many Dem spokespersons on TV who let the lies and stupidity slide by. Dems! You have to stop letting the Stupids slide!)
How about Cuck Schumer back doing less than nothing for Dems
Schumer is the most useless politician ever to hold power in the Dem Party. Past time to ditch him!
That was a good insight, identifying a third cohort of American citizens, the Apathetics. Honestly, I think it would make a great (and near majority) third party if someone could start organizing it. Bonus: it would peel off a lot more present day Repub. voters than Democrat ones. By the way, this is all tongue-in-cheek, but it's a fun diversion.
It’s almost unbelievable the level of stupidity exhibited by each and every one of the Sewer Clowns. If it wasn’t so scary and sad, it would seem to be a parody. Let’s hope then next four years go by quickly, before the idiots break our country beyond repair.
See, Pamela, you’re pretending there’s hope they won’t break our country beyond repair. They will. It’s up to every single one of us to find ways to actively resist all the time.
Lisa, did you ever watch Rachel Maddow during d-con's first term? Behind her was a large chart, listing the firings & resignations. There were so many, the chart wouldn't fit into the screen.
Talk about musical chairs on the Titanic.
Waiting to push those before them out, to sit there, even.
Lisa, the only concern you need to have now is which eyeball you’re going to gouge out first. The left or the right. I say this to lighten things up a bit and help keep you from allowing them to unnerve you.
Clarification: …in case they come for any of your loved ones.. you get the idea.
I wasn’t referring to your eyeballs
The key to the survival of Democracy is that the MAGA-fascists are primarily morons. By the time they figure out how to destroy it, they will be out of office.
Total complete stupidity, you're our only hope.
The problem is, they'll look for reasons to never again be out of office.
