today in Shit That Happened White I Was Busy Writing This Shit—
Dear Leader was sundowning at 8:30 in the morning. this is what he posted to his crappy app:
"I HOPE EVERYBODY AT REDEDICATE 250 IS HAVING A GOOD TIME. IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO TO HELP, JUST HAVE OUR BEAUTIFUL, BOTH INSIDE AND OUT, RACHAEL C.D., GIVE ME A CALL. I’M BACK FROM CHINA!!! President DJT"
Don't they comprehend that their BROWN children could be easily grabbed up by Ice, no questions asked or answered...tossed into a vehicle (or worse, badly injured first) - then whisked out of this Country to a place like Cecot? Those 'agents' (most of them UNtrained, ILLegitimate and NOT real Police - apt to 'shoot first, ask questions far too late' just like those who murdered Renee Good and Alex Pretti, don't give a flying fuck WHO's your Daddy IF your skin is brown and you present as a brown, hispanic teenager in frump's version of amurrica?
READ THIS!!! A highly intelligent father writes about his interactions with his highly intelligent but barely verbal autistic son. If this doesn't break your heart, you don't have one. 🧸🧸🧸🧸🧸
Thank you, Kathleen. It did exactly that. I read it in the wee hours and wept unashamedly. Felt as though I was there - hovering, watching every moment of his Dada-ness with his so-beloved son. Gawd...when one imagines one's own pain is getting to be too much, reading something as beautifully-written and raw as this just shoves it all aside.
Well, I happen to like liver and onions--although not when rotten or moldy. How about comparing his brain to durian...the custard textured Southeast Asian fruit that smells like a combination of rotting onions, raw sewage, garlic and smelly gym socks?
Same. There wasn't enough ketchup in the world to cover up the texture of liver, yuck. And my mom was from the "clean your plate!" school of child rearing. Ok, I've strayed pretty far off topic now. 😂
I'll admit that when I was a kid, the smell of liver in the fry pan made me physically ill. In an odd switch, however, sometime post-teen, I started to LIKE the evil dish. Have no idea how that came about, but I also grew to like dandelion greens, beet greens, kale, fiddlehead ferns, shitake mushrooms and oysters. 🤷🏼♀️
Several news stories this week tell the story of Trump/MAGA's pending demise.
1. Trump offers to settle his frivolous $10 billion lawsuit against the FBI by setting up a $1.7 billion non-audit slush fund through which he can pay his cronies (and himself). To push his royal presence further he's threatening to withhold Medicaid funding from California because of purported fraud. The irony will be noticed by the majority of Americans voters.
2. The Iran war has cost US gasoline consumers $45 billion so far and projected to cost $172 billion by end of the year, as reported in the WSJ today. Trump continues to claim his war is only about Iran's nuclear ambitions while global oil producers make their largest profits in years. Ask any driver of a 14 wheel long haul truck (all Trump supporters) how they feel about the price of diesel fuel. Hint: they're really pissed.
3. Racist gerrymandering across the South is polling very badly for MAGA and activating more Democrats and independents. This level of right wing fascism will backfire in November.
You are on to something here. Trumpism has hit bottom. Donnie has destroyed his own MAGA con game. It's out of style now! The Dems will soon wake up and realize the public mind is turning back to the good side. The fascination with evil is sliding back into the past. Spread the word! Stop wearing black and gray. Bring back yellows and oranges! Write your reps and let them know the dark side is done. Bad faith is a dud. Good will is cool again!
Black is for mourning. Yellow is for morning. "Morning has broken like the first morning" Yusuf Cat Stevens. As a compromise, how about black and yellow?
When you have 2 fluffy white dogs shedding in your house (like me) black is NOT a choice of clothing, lol. It also makes me look funereal - so at the most I'll wear shades of (mostly light) gray, but far prefer pastels or bright pink. Try white - or cream. You could always wear a paisley black/white scarf or shawl. There's a reason all of the Democratic women wore white suits IN major events in Congress. They stood out and looked smashing at the same time. Even over an LBD a white-ish jacket or blazer looks terrific.
I don't know which Democrats you think are still asleep tbh, but those 'I' know and know about are out and about taking full advantage of his unbelievable stupidity and meltdowns. I watch their interviews on MSNow, I watch C-Span. Even some republicans are slowly beginning to express their own pissed-offness to his desperate grab at tyranny. As for yellows and orange? Nuh-uh - they both attract wasps and bees in the Summer. Give me the aquas, blues and greens, pinks and whites (all shades of white). We'll BLIND the frumpists with our blinding white light.
Let me know when you see or hear any Democrat, anywhere, tell the actual truth about the Trump Family. Let me know when one of the Dem leaders says something like this:
"Step back and observe and admire the scope of the Trump Organization's schemes to steal money using deception. From the US Treasury (we taxpayers) and oil companies and financial fraudsters and foreign governments and gullible citizens.
A slimy real estate guy gets a TV show and cons millions into thinking he's legit. For decades his family connived to trick banks and insurance companies and tax authorities, rather than conduct an honest business. Then they had a big idea. Dad would run for public office, using dirty tricks and double dealing billionaires for funding. Then leverage the office for family gain. So far the plan is working great! $4 Billion in their pockets and just getting started!
The $1.8 Billion of taxpayer money for payoffs of his criminal gang members and pals is just another successful con game in the gigantic overall scam.
The Trump Administration is a criminal enterprise, for money, to benefit the Trump Family and their bought and paid for enablers. This is the obvious truth, validated by their words of deception and law breaking actions every day."
Really? Where've you been? Spending ALL of your time on the internet? Try MSNow once in a while - where Democratic leaders are invitees just about every day as guests: Try Rachel Maddow on Mondays - then again on Sundays. Lawrence O'Donnell after Rachel's show 10p.m. (Eastern time - he's often on all week but has fill-in hosts when he needs a break). HE lets loose, no holds barred and never once gets attacked by the frumps. Gee, I wonder if it's because he does his homework and is scathing in his takedowns of that accursed family? The disdain in his voice is SO clear. Then Nicolle Wallace EVERY DAY (unless she's taking a much-needed break) 4p.m to 6p.m. Her show is 'Deadline White House' and she kicks ass imho as well as on her podcast: 'the best people'. I've just seen Jamie Raskin (again), Ro Khanna, Brendan Boyle, other Senators and Congresspeople - Monica McIvey (I think her name is spelled?) from New Jersey who was INDICTED by ice thugs for literally doing her duty by visiting a private prison IN HER DISTRICT last year along with the Mayor. They're both black so after the thugs arrested him SHE put her arms out and around him to protect him from being harmed - causing them to arrest her (they deliberately invited him in then arrested him AS he left). SO many Democratic Congress WOMEN speak out about everything you're complaining about - but you've never heard any of them? I'm astonished. Not every visit CAN be about the frump family's thievery but it IS covered almost every day. Other subjects are the fucking EPSTEIN FILES which he's desperately trying to distract us from - but these folks refuse to ignore, so show clips from the testimonies of the survivors IN Congress as well as the interrogations of Patel - the least qualified FeeBee ever and his drunken wild spending, kegsbreath and HIS overreach and wild spending. Both of the Vindman Brothers have been on - ALL of those fighting against the redistricting have been on, Marc Elias and Neal Katyal are usual guests describing how many lawsuits the frumps have LOST - which are never talked about elsewhere. Marc was instrumental in getting the continued building of that stupid-azz ballroom halted. Marc also has a podcast with Brian Tyler Cohen whose new book 'The Day After' is about to hit bookstores but can be pre-ordered.
Or as I believe it was Jeff in another post, "... rabid colicky raccoons... " (I may have added the rabid part, not sure, but definitely the colicky racoons - so fitting!)
I see what you did there. ;) When he was 7 his older brother DUMPED an entire family sized dish of mashed potatoes onto his head in utter frustration because he wouldn't stop tormenting his even younger 5yr old brother and after the parents had told him to stop many times (Mary Trump told this story). Whichever brother did the dumping had finally had enough of his bullying and his reaction sent the entire family into gales of laughter, which caused HIM to be 'humiliated' which he's carried throughout his life. Can you imagine STILL being raging mad about something so utterly stupid when you've reached 80 (next month)? He's remained a spoiled brat/bully/coward for ALL of those decades. Perhaps at that time he really did have a 'hole in his head' into which the mashed potatoes seeped and WE are now bearing the brunt. Unfortunately, it's clear he'll never be satisfied with revenge on those he decided had 'wronged' him since most of his immediate family are no longer here, so he creates new ones. Perhaps we should ALL (and I mean all) start calling him Mashed Potatoes from now on? Reporter: Mr. Mashed Potatoes - I mean Trump. He: WHAT did you call me? Reporter: Mr. Trump. Him: NO, before that. Reporter, pretending to be bewildered. I called you Mr. Trump! Him (seething) that's not what I heard...you said Mr. Mashed Potatoes! And there we'll have it - his name from then on. ALL it'll take is one brave reporter to decide 'fuck it' I'll be the one. :)
WTF is he even tweet-truthing about??? You know, if I were a journalist, I would ask, 'WTF is wrong with you????’ I’m not afraid of that sack of rancid meat. I’m 65, so younger, fitter and smarter. Plus, I live in Scotland, and Scotland fucking hates him.
Anyway, love today’s photos, as always. Very calming. And I love your living room! Enjoy the rest of your Sunday 🎶
Love to Scotland. We adore Scotland for the level of hate shown toward our seditionist/Rapist/Convicted Felon/Paedophile! He is hurting ALL of us who have fought for Climate Crisis mitigation, equality, health care etc. seditionists can be removed by our military but apparently they are too busing going other countries to steal resources and make lives miserable. 💔😔
After what he did at Turnberry (destroying a one-in-a-lifetime) ecological site on the Coast of Scotland - aided and abetted by stupid fools there who believed he really would create jobs FOR the locals, and who now all regret going along with that fucking golf course AND his abuse of the crofters who live there, people actually came from everywhere around with signs and banners to protest him and his 'project', and to stand up for Michael Forbes and his mother Molly who was already elderly at the time frump cut off their drinking water. A documentary was made - then a follow-up, to show what was done to them and others. Molly was shown carefully making her way to the nearest burn (stream) to fetch water to make her tea day after day after day. Can you imagine? Perhaps a year later, Michael was finally able to dig up a huge length of road to fix the broken pipe frump's people were supposed to fix but never did. Frump called Michael every vicious name in the book - it didn't start here - he tested out his 'piggy' nastiness there, in Scotland. The documentaries are: 'You've been trumped' parts 1 and 2. They used to be available on Youtube. Destroying old-growth forests and the entire land is unbelievable to see. The following year HE decided to tell the Scottish Government that they had no right to put windmills off THEIR coast since he decided they were an 'eyesore' to his golf course (mind you, the Scots invented golf and already have St. Andrews). They turned him down, the windmills stayed. He's pissed - as usual, as always.
Oh, I'm SO GLAD to meet someone who lives in Scotland (outside of my cousins who stayed there when we left Glasgow). I was just a kid - have been a New Yorker ever since but we re-connected as adults and they DO fucking hate him. I've watched his awfulness ever since I was a teenager here and he's ALWAYS been a terrible, horrid individual. How on earth his magat cultists fell for his line of utter bullshit enough to elect him still bewilders AND enrages me. I too amn't the least bit afraid of him and would love to get a Press Pass purely to ask that question. :)
Wow! How cool—Glasgow is a pretty swell city. I’ve not been over since we went to see Sparks there in 2016—we’re in the Borders. I remember when he came in 2008 to swindle his way into the first horrible golf course in Aberdeenshire. I kept shouting at the TV, ‘Don’t do it! You can’t trust him!’ But the then FM, Alex Salmond, whose constituency was in Aberdeenshire, convinced the council to reverse their decision and approve it. They did. I wonder what the fat bastard promised.
Oh, together, we could scare him. His goons would probably have to drag us out! It’s a great fantasy. I also fantasise about my pup and her pals having a jobby party on one or more of his courses. Normally, I wouldn’t do that. Or introducing the local cats to the sand traps. BTW, is that your doggy? Really cute! Samoyed or something else?
Yes - that white fuzz-face is Luka, my formerly abused rescued dog. He's an American Eskimo (probably a Spitz in Britain). He's lankier and more 'wolf-like' than Koda, our other shorter Eskie. They're in the same family as Samoyeds but those are bigger-boned with huge ruffs and probably weigh twice what my guys do now. Presently, Luka is dealing with a cyst of some kind on his front paw, being somewhat feverish so is on meds which make him drink copious amounts of water then pee it all out immediately, lol. Usually that's Koda's 'thing' so now the two of them are taking turns peeing over each other. Oy. Luckily we have stone-tile floors which are reasonably easy to clean (but a real pain in the ass). They were both abandoned (separately) by their previous owners and Luka was clearly badly abused. He's grown to love and trust me but still spooks at different things. His innate sweetness, though - melts my heart. If he'd only NOT try to kill and eat our big, orange cat Percy (who has to hide out in his bedroom for most of the day) I wouldn't worry so much. At night Luka sleeps crated so Percy sneaks out to stare at him. ;) ANYWAY, I'm glad you reminded me of Salmond - HE is talked about in that documentary (you've been trumped). He might have apologized for being bamboozled by this orange fuckwit (can you imagine he had himself piped in by 2 bagpipers? - it was so fucking pathetic...even then he imagined he was 'royalty'. Ugh). Luka can run like a gazelle - fastest dog I've ever seen, and he DIGS, so he'd make short work of that stupid golf course, lol. Great minds sure do think alike!
Luka sounds wonderful. Willow, the border collie in the pic, would gladly run around like a loon and dig with him! Poor baby and his paw. I do hope it’s nothing serious and he’ll recover very soon. Willow is a farm-born girl. We went ahead and paid for her and met her mum and the two brothers that have stayed on the farm. We didn’t mind doing that because so many BCs end up in shelters because people don’t research and take on more than they can handle. She’s slowed down a bit, because she’ll be 9 (OMG) in Sept. And she is a handful, but she’s sweet and loves cuddles and also has a crate—it’s her safe space, and she used to put herself to bed at night. Now she likes to stay up a bit later, but snoozes on the sofa. Loves to chase and be chased, so I have to keep her on the lead, as there are free-ranging sheep about and deer, hares, rabbits, etc. that run and she wants to chase them, which leads to livestock—a no-no. She would have be a cracking sheepdog, and I wanted to have herself and myself trained to do it, but it wasn’t possible at the time.Her bros are going to be retiring soon, they adopted a girl that I think is now about 2. I’ve had cats. I’ve not seen that doc. I’ll have to look for it. When he left the SNP he started the Alba party, sort of another version of the SNP, but it hasn’t had much traction and I don’t think I saw any candidates under that party on this month’s ballot. The party I’m worried about is Nigel Farage’s Reform Party. UGH. They dominated in England this month. Far right and he’s LOVES the Tangerine Nightmare. 🤮
THANK you! He's doing a wee bit better, but just threw up his medicine, so - got me upset again. His stomach fragility comes and goes, sigh. He's now 7-l/2 which seems impossible...I still think of him as a baby (we got him at a year and a half, in the beginnings of the Pandemic). It's his sweet heart and his eyes when he gazes into mine which cause me to melt - not the two times he bit me (caused by hubby losing HIS shit and escalating the stress level, expecting me to 'handle it'). The last time was a real mistake - he thought he was grabbing for a denta-stick treat and got my finger instead, then panicked and couldn't let go. I understood...got my tetanus shot updated and dealt with the pain which WAS admittedly bad (needing stitches and a bad bone bruise). Surprisingly, since then he seems to have really learned from that experience and let go of his fear. He still has 'some' but seems to have finally realized he could trust me. He's lying at my side right now - voluntarily, on his back with all legs akimbo...even smiling in his sleep. I still wouldn't allow anyone 'else' to handle him and fully understand your love for and protectiveness of your girl. Border collies have 'real jobs' without which they have a ton of excess energy. I could visualize them happily romping together. ;) 2) I don't really know enough about the UK 'leaders'. Need to do more research. 2) Didn't realize you posted songs! My husband is a huge Pink Floyd fan - we so enjoyed 'Time' from Dark Side of the Moon which he has in all its iterations. I'm still a CD person, though. Probably have around 700 now - although they're not all where they should be. Sorely need an organizer to help me with my books and music 'stuff'.
Dear Jeff, one day will you tell us the story of how you met Claudia? Part of me wants it to be love at first sight or how you met in kindergarten and another part of me wants it to be how she played hard to get because you were such a smartass. Or maybe she saw you and asked you out and it rendered you momentarily speechless. or maybe she was your prison penpal? TELL US PLEASE!!! 😃
This photo of her looking so pensive and - gazing out of a window? I had a shirt/jacket almost identical, also a necklace just like hers AND that fabric on the wall and around her - I swear I bought a ton of almost exactly the same - years ago, used as wallpaper and upholstered practically an entire room in it (I know it's a vacation home)...but it's all uncanny. At first my thoughts were that she's thinking about how short the vacation is - time to go home, but then...she could be thinking 'get that fucking camera out of my face, you'? :) only kidding, of course. It's a LOVELY photo. She's so photogenic - from childhood on.
His walking printer has access to the felon's SM login. So we can no longer assume that posts are his.
The WH press pool reported at 10:30 that they were loaded into their vans. So it appears that the motorcade will be taking a drive to the golf course. But they sat for like an hour yesterday b4 the motorcade departed.
I've assumed that almost all posts AREN'T his for at least a year. The mostly-correct punctuation, somewhat sophisticated phrasing, and the use of two-syllable words give it away.
"Rachel Campos-Duffy was on the ground at the National Mall to host and cover the "Rededicate 250" event, a massive national celebration of prayer and praise for America's 250th birthday. During the event, she also promoted her book, All American Patriotism." Sean Duffy's reality TV, Fox & Friends host wife and all-around putrid human. So yeah, he thought he was texting.
Rededicate 250 is the totally unconstitutional, massive Christian Nationalist prayer meeting trump is allowing to happen today at the White House. I say "allowing, but he's actually one of the speakers, along with Mike Johnson, Pete Hegseth, Franklin Graham, Timothy Dolan, Jonathon Falwell, and several more CN supporters.
Who "Rachael" is, I would say "God alone knows" - but it's more probably "Old Nick,"
😠😠🤯🤯😡😡😡😡 the more Christo-fascist events he holds in the WH, appearing to be sponsored by the government, the harder those parasites are going to be to pry out and kick their theocratic butts out the door. this is going to cause trouble down the road, I just know it.
Man, I wanna party with THESE guys! Is Dolan the only Papist in attendance? He's only there because he feuded with Pope Leo. My only question is how are they gonna grift some additional Somalians from this Holy Joe-a-Rama?
We drove by the National Mall Friday evening and saw the monstrosity of a stage and tents that had ridiculous coverings to look like Greek pillars. My husband and I just looked each other. One of us said, "More Trump shit desecrating our city."
I WAS IN CHINA! SO SOLLY! I GOT DOGWALKED LIKE A DAMN DOG. (THey eat them over there!!!) Rachel CD call me (telephone emoji).
I'm wondering that if you call an escort "Rachel CD" it means Rachel Cross Dresser, in the same way that if you saw an escort was calling herself "TSDestinee" you're about to hire an escort with a li'l something extra.
“Government of self-entitled assholes” — this should be the chief campaign slogan for the next election. Assuming we have next elections. Happy Sunday, everybody. Or most everybody.
And those photos of Missus Spouse are just lovely. Thank you for sharing them. It dampens the rage a bit.
Until it fractures support with party officials and elected representatives, nothing about Epstein and his crimes will matter. Fatfuck had his own modeling agency trafficking Eastern European girls.
a number of people have said that we have to wait until after the primaries for politicians to break with him. see what happened to those state house Rs in Indiana that didn't vote to draw a new map. & Sen of Cassidy of LA was defeated in the primary yesterday. His sin? something like he voted to convict the felon in one of the impeachment trials. & Rep Massey of KY is being primaried for the sin of sponsoring the Epstein files law.
There was much to like -- and dislike -- about McCain. His opposition to gays in the service was appalling. And there are a tiny handful of honorable Republicans left, but most are now out of office, like Adam Kinzinger.
Lindsey Graham said out loud that it's the party of trump, making it abundantly clear that there IS no more Republican Party the way some of us remember it - with WAR Hero John McCain - whom Graham used to be 'best friends' with along with Joe Biden whom Graham described as the best man you'd ever meet - something along those lines. THAT part is on video - he's in the back of a limo being interviewed and waxes rhapsodic about his wonderful friend Joe. THEN he became a frumpist - so what happened? Has to be something frump threatened him with - outing him as gay? the entire world believes he is - that's no biggie, but maybe to him it is?
My theory is that Graham has a lifetime of attaching himself to alpha males. In the House it was Henry Hyde. In the Senate it was McCain. When McCain died he floundered before attaching himself to Trump. Why people in South Carolina aren't humiliated by him representing them is a mystery.
Pet peeve: in "government of the people, by the people, and for the people" the phrase "government of the people" means that the people are the ones being governed (and they are being governed by themselves, for their own benefit). The self-entitled assholes are NOT being governed. This is "government of the REST OF US by the self-entitled assholes, and for the self-entitled assholes"
I’m not confident that the felons will want elections but I say states should implement instant laws that only count Dems to balance the Red state shit..proclaim ourselves victors and move i to Congress anyway. Escorted by military. Seditionists are not allowed in public office! So it’s not a coup but a battle against the traitors and enemies within.
Hmmm what? Not seditionists? It’s in writing what is supposed to happen to seditionists. Or do you a conversation and olive leaf across the aisle will do? We lose or we demand the laws be obeyed by them, otherwise they should not continue to be applied to the Democratic side.
I believe the 'hmmm' is for the idea that the military will join in to round up the real seditionists - or would they instead go after Democratic lawmakers who're being labeled 'seditionists' since that's the huge lie frump et al have been spinning - always the accusation is a confession? He began with Pence then moved to Comey and Letitia James, Fani Willis, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Today it's Thomas Massie...then decided that even Mark Kelly and the other 5 democratic military heroes who joined in telling the military they can refuse ILLegal orders were now committing 'treason' since to frump and his magats even disagreeing with the tiniest sliver of his insanity is tantamount to 'treason'....exactly whom do you think 'the military' would obey? This is a real question, btw. I know there are some real generals and other high officers left who'd refuse illegal orders but how much control would they have over their troops if the stupidest presiDUNCE ever declared martial law (his dream)? So far, not being able to open those dozens of private prisons all over the Country due to lawsuits filed because of the inability of the towns being able to handle the septic and water systems are all that seem to be preventing far more incarcerations of frump's perceived 'enemies'. Who knew that NIMBY would serve to stop even his most fervent magats from fulfilling his deepest desires. Marc Elias of Democracy Docket has been fighting hard in winning these suits, EVEN with Republican Judges.
I read this today on FB, the Democratic Voice: Every time Mike Johnson says "I don't know anything about it," a reporter needs to say: How can Americans expect you to do your job if you don't know anything about anything?"
It reminded me of your: The first reporter who stands up and says (to Trump) "what the fuck is wrong with you" should get a lifetime Pulitzer.
If his only source of information is FOX NEWS and Newsmax, you can't expect him to have any useful/accurate updates. I doubt any maga politicians ever watch the news, unless it's to see themselves perform for trumple-thin-skin. They need to be sure they praised him enough....and that's an impossible task!
Just occurred that his staff prolly hands him a list of trump's latest batshit fuckwittery. The list is titled THINGS ABOUT WHICH YOU PRETEND TO KNOW NOTHING.
Or, maybe they call it 'The Sgt Schultz Daily Briefing'.
My reply to any of these miscreant sycophants would be "It's your job to know, and since you don't you are unqualified to be in the position you're in."
Agree. The pictures add a moment for a smile after a strong dose of our reality. Your living room looks so cosy and welcoming. Beautiful place to chat with friends. ❤️🪴
Desecration of our national monuments and our sacred sites honoring those who gave their lives for us is one of trump's most visible actions. I am sad and enraged that the military personnel involved in the Arlington National Cemetery and the USS Arizona Memorial debacles felt compelled to comply with these disrespectful and superlatively inappropriate frivolous romps. Fuck trump, Patel, and all of MAGA for their defilement of America.
I didn't think that military leaders answered to FBI heads. Yes, shame on those military personnel for allowing that desecration by a drunken frat boy and his cronies.
FBI is not in the chain of command, absolutely. I wish they would have told Patel to Fuck Off in no uncertain terms. I will refrain here from impugning the reputation of our military and chalk these incidents up to individuals who are MAGA or unable to say no.
Pretty certain the order to comply came from someone at the top of the chain of command. Had those leaders refused, they would have been fired by Hegseth and immediately replaced with someone more willing to comply with whatever the executive branch demands of them.
I thought I had posted about this before but I can't find it. I wrote to the U.S. Navy Department and asked them why the Navy SEALS participated in last year's Patel-led goat fuck at the sacred U.S. Arizona. It would be good if more people wrote to them . Wouldn't hurt. I'm so angry I don't know what else to do.
Patel is a 15 year old who has access to all the "cool" shit in the country and he's going to smash and grab whatever he can while he's there. Who are those people who joined him at Pearl Harbor? Why are there so many Americans who support and participate in this foul behavior ?
I also thought about why Navy Seals brought these assholes to a sacred memorial to snorkel? So far the military has been very compliant! Ending with those lovely pictures of Claudia is the light at the end of the tunnel! Thank you Jeff!!
Why have the navy seals escort the most despicable person ever to be granted a job by the US government? And to commit a desecration of a monument to service members who gave their last full measure for our country?
If service members can’t refuse such an “assignment” imagine what that will do to recruiting much less retention. They are not supposed to be personal servants to the Epstein class. How humiliating for us all that our war dead are being used to say fuck you to democracy and the US Constitution with personal protection provided by the navy seals.
it's a feature of this administration. not a bug. it's why he put an utter ass-clown like Hegseth in charge of the Pentagon. He doesn't care, he thinks they are "suckers" and "losers" and will use them for cannon fodder in a useless war if he gets the chance. Fuck these people straight to the bowels of Hell.
My friend Tom’s dad was supposed to be aboard Arizona that morning but he was over at Hickam playing poker with an Air Corps buddy from Texas. On a hot streak and losing track of the time, he saw the sun coming up and knew he was about to be late for his watch. He thought “one more hand” and the bombs started falling. Like most of the guys he figured it was a drill until the explosions began in earnest.
He hustled back to Pearl in time to see his ship shoveling out fire and smoke as she sank at her moorings, oil burning on the water and his shipmates—burned, screaming—thrashing around. His friends were killed when Arizona was blown apart by a Nakajima B5N dropping a converted 16‑inch armor‑piercing naval shell, a Type 99 Number 80 bomb of about 1,760 pounds, which punched through the forward decks and detonated the magazines.
The man told me about this decades later, tears in his eyes. "My best friend and I shared the same birthday. He was going to cover for me if I was late." It hurt as much as ever. I am glad he didn't live to see this.
Kash holding a VIP snorkel party over a mass grave where more than a thousand US sailors are still entombed is desecration dressed as a flex. Kash is the most despicable figure in America THIS WEEK.
Next week it will be another embarrassing, horrifying, enraging obscenity. Probably Drunkle Pete's new memo about the new "military justice" or something awful
I wish this could be read on every news outlet across the nation. This is why what Ka$hyap did was so unspeakable. And why it was unforgiveable that Navy Seals accommodated him in this desecration.
I've been to the USS Arizona memorial, and let me tell you, the last fucking thing I was thinking about while there was GOING FOR A FUCKING SWIM. What a soulless piece of trash.
When I first heard about the snorkeling trip at Pearl Harbor, I thought “Dude, there are LOTS of better places to snorkel on Oahu”. Of course it wasn’t about seeing awesome sea creatures, but about desecration of a holy spot, because he’s fucking grand poobah of the FBI! (and self-entitled asshole) I’ve visited there and it’s one solemn and serious place. Isn’t there anyone in the military capable of saying, “No! You will NOT do that!”???
This whole wrecking crew is drunk on power. The collective of misfits starting with the orange demented blob has put our economy in the toilet. I'm ready for the immorality, the corruption and depravity to end ASAP.
My grandfather served on the Arizona during WWI. He was so upset by the Pearl Harbor attack, he tried to reenlist but was deemed too old. His son, however, joined the Marines at 17 and fought his way across the Pacific. I invite Kash and his snorkeling buddies to do a little scuba cave exploring in the Maldives.
No worries for MAGA. trump's overdue for a public groping of the American flag to make everything better. I'm guessing when trump fondles the flag he's pretending it's a 15-yr-old Ivanka.
I just wish Philadelphia’s mayor Cherelle Parker would issue a decree banning all members of the current regime from setting foot in our fair city during all of 2026. (and beyond)👹
If ever there was a sorry group of individuals with absolutely no Situational Awareness, it's this lot. How the country has managed to function at all with them cavorting, I do not know. Cross-country ventures, beer parties at sports events, snorkeling at Pearl Harbor, Howard Lutnick; just a sampling of the excesses of this "Cabinet." Not a bright bunch.
All those honored dead and then there’s Patel hosting a party literally pissed while pissing on their graves. The criminally insane of Murder Inc. USA continue to engage in unleashed, despicable behavior. 86 47
Forget the National Park Service. who at PACCOM or SOCOM authorized the Seals to take part in this?
And when Dems, knock wood, retake the House, I want hearings to uncover what this & his other boondoggles cost tax payers. & the precedent is set with Coast Guard charging folks when they have to be rescued trying to walk across the ice on Lake Erie. All the costs associated with those 2 SEALS teams ain't cheap. And the FBI isn't part of DoD, so the reimbursement should be higher, just as it is when DoD aircraft are used.
& Ka$h should be liable for the costs, just like a general has to occasionally reimburse the government when his wife flies with him on trips on government aircraft. (look it up)
The #PuppyKiller should be the next, but by no means the last, regime official investigated this way.
& also, we know they are violating the Hatch Act. Guess what? If you're found to have done campaign business on government time, you have to reimburse that part of your salary. See Loretta Doan, head of GSA during W's admin.
The level of disrespect of this fucking snorkel excursion cannot be adequately described with words. Every year on the anniversary of Pearl Harbor, the solemnity of the commemoration ceremony is something to behold. Even dignitaries from Japan have attended, along with those remaining survivors of that day. Tears are shed. Remembrance of lost friends and comrades are shared. Convictions of commiseration are expressed. Offerings of wreaths are made. The USS Arizona Memorial, besides being a consecrated resting place, is also a symbol of the terrible toll of war and aggression and the ceremony is seen as a prayer for peace. This is outrageous. Heads should roll for allowing this, not to mention all those jackasses who went into the water to gape.
And I have this family heirloom, it's so precious to my family, but I desperately need the money to save grandma, so I'm offering it for sale....I'll give you a special price if you pay cash--It's a beautiful bridge in Brooklyn......
Did the Navy spokesperson claim this before or after polishing off a bottle of Ka$hyap bourbon?
today in Shit That Happened White I Was Busy Writing This Shit—
Dear Leader was sundowning at 8:30 in the morning. this is what he posted to his crappy app:
"I HOPE EVERYBODY AT REDEDICATE 250 IS HAVING A GOOD TIME. IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO TO HELP, JUST HAVE OUR BEAUTIFUL, BOTH INSIDE AND OUT, RACHAEL C.D., GIVE ME A CALL. I’M BACK FROM CHINA!!! President DJT"
who the fuck are you talking to, Donny?
https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116589922190393582
I mean, clearly, he thought he was texting someone
He is now confusing texting with posting to his prevarication vehicle. Demented old predator trapped in his own failing cesspool of confusion
Very poetic.
Gawd……well said, though creepy AF, Doc.
💯‼️
Is "Rededicate 250" that Christofascist mock prayer service on the Mall this weekend?
Hey, at least he remembers it was China he was visiting!
Sounds like he's trying to get out of it.
Catholic-Fascist too - welcome:
• Timothy Cardinal Michael Dolan, Archbishop emeritus of New York and Faux News chaplain for the rest of his soul-sold life
• Bishop Robert “barren soul” Barron, the patron saint of young male bodybuilders
• Fr. Mike Schmitz - another internet grifting Catholic capitalist
Give it 24 hours, at most
WTF is Rachael CD?
I think he's talking about Rachel Campos-Duffy, Sean Duffy's disgusting Maga wife. She must be coordinating the prayer meeting shitshow.
Yes. And of course he had to make a comment on her looks.
Campers-Duffy after that fucking 7 month taxpayer-paid vacation. When will a just God strike these antichrists dead??!!
Ugh! She must be bringing their 9 kids.
Just for fun... https://people.com/tv/rachel-campos-duffy-raising-eight-children-politics-fox-nation/
Every sperm is sacred! Thanks for the share.
Wonderful reference!Now that song will be my morning ear worm!
Don't they comprehend that their BROWN children could be easily grabbed up by Ice, no questions asked or answered...tossed into a vehicle (or worse, badly injured first) - then whisked out of this Country to a place like Cecot? Those 'agents' (most of them UNtrained, ILLegitimate and NOT real Police - apt to 'shoot first, ask questions far too late' just like those who murdered Renee Good and Alex Pretti, don't give a flying fuck WHO's your Daddy IF your skin is brown and you present as a brown, hispanic teenager in frump's version of amurrica?
Agreed.
A Cross Dresser??
Cruise Director?
Ever wonder what the antidote to Trumpism is?
READ THIS!!! A highly intelligent father writes about his interactions with his highly intelligent but barely verbal autistic son. If this doesn't break your heart, you don't have one. 🧸🧸🧸🧸🧸
https://extelligence.substack.com/p/a-dada
"A big IQ has never helped anyone with a tiny heart." Truth.
I read it. Oh my god. Incredible.
I read the article. Very moving and a big reality check.
I read it and it is incredible.
Thank you SO much for posting! Incredible.
This was wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing the link.
Thanks so much for sharing this.
Wow!!!
Thank you, Kathleen. It did exactly that. I read it in the wee hours and wept unashamedly. Felt as though I was there - hovering, watching every moment of his Dada-ness with his so-beloved son. Gawd...when one imagines one's own pain is getting to be too much, reading something as beautifully-written and raw as this just shoves it all aside.
This gentleman is one of the most extraordinary writers on Substack.
Rachel CD almost certainly is Rachel Campos-Duffy. So maybe he meant to text her?
https://people.com/tv/rachel-campos-duffy-raising-eight-children-politics-fox-nation/
that's absolutely barf-credible.
Even if he was texting, would the recipient understand the message????
Did the sender?
Just had a good chuckle...thanks I feel much better!
Rachael Campos-Duffy I guess!
15,000+ people liked that nonsense, which says more about them than it does about him.
I think Trump was thinking he was addressing his multitudes of admirers.
Again.
What is he even talking about? For me this rant is particularly disturbing.
Claudia in her living room surrounded by plants and sunlight is truly adorable.
Love this photo. Thanks Jeff.
All his rants and just watching him is disturbing.
💯 accurate
Her hands……
I just want him to keep that incoherent posting going because it's becoming harder to deny that his brain is full of mashed potatoes.
Rotting mashed potatoes.
... and definitely moldy!!
Yeah, not fair to mashed potatoes, which I like. How about rotting, moldy liver and onions?
Well, I happen to like liver and onions--although not when rotten or moldy. How about comparing his brain to durian...the custard textured Southeast Asian fruit that smells like a combination of rotting onions, raw sewage, garlic and smelly gym socks?
🎯
Even better!
Yes! I was subjected to that vile, poisonous dish as a child! 🤢
Same. There wasn't enough ketchup in the world to cover up the texture of liver, yuck. And my mom was from the "clean your plate!" school of child rearing. Ok, I've strayed pretty far off topic now. 😂
I'll admit that when I was a kid, the smell of liver in the fry pan made me physically ill. In an odd switch, however, sometime post-teen, I started to LIKE the evil dish. Have no idea how that came about, but I also grew to like dandelion greens, beet greens, kale, fiddlehead ferns, shitake mushrooms and oysters. 🤷🏼♀️
Mashed potatoes that my dog ate and then vomited and are now rotting
😂😂😂
Several news stories this week tell the story of Trump/MAGA's pending demise.
1. Trump offers to settle his frivolous $10 billion lawsuit against the FBI by setting up a $1.7 billion non-audit slush fund through which he can pay his cronies (and himself). To push his royal presence further he's threatening to withhold Medicaid funding from California because of purported fraud. The irony will be noticed by the majority of Americans voters.
2. The Iran war has cost US gasoline consumers $45 billion so far and projected to cost $172 billion by end of the year, as reported in the WSJ today. Trump continues to claim his war is only about Iran's nuclear ambitions while global oil producers make their largest profits in years. Ask any driver of a 14 wheel long haul truck (all Trump supporters) how they feel about the price of diesel fuel. Hint: they're really pissed.
3. Racist gerrymandering across the South is polling very badly for MAGA and activating more Democrats and independents. This level of right wing fascism will backfire in November.
You are on to something here. Trumpism has hit bottom. Donnie has destroyed his own MAGA con game. It's out of style now! The Dems will soon wake up and realize the public mind is turning back to the good side. The fascination with evil is sliding back into the past. Spread the word! Stop wearing black and gray. Bring back yellows and oranges! Write your reps and let them know the dark side is done. Bad faith is a dud. Good will is cool again!
Not sure that I can give up wearing black…😎
Black is for mourning. Yellow is for morning. "Morning has broken like the first morning" Yusuf Cat Stevens. As a compromise, how about black and yellow?
just like a bumble-bee. ;)
When you have 2 fluffy white dogs shedding in your house (like me) black is NOT a choice of clothing, lol. It also makes me look funereal - so at the most I'll wear shades of (mostly light) gray, but far prefer pastels or bright pink. Try white - or cream. You could always wear a paisley black/white scarf or shawl. There's a reason all of the Democratic women wore white suits IN major events in Congress. They stood out and looked smashing at the same time. Even over an LBD a white-ish jacket or blazer looks terrific.
Nope, I do not wear white clothing. We had a husky for 16 years. I know all about shedding hair and black clothing 😎
I don't know which Democrats you think are still asleep tbh, but those 'I' know and know about are out and about taking full advantage of his unbelievable stupidity and meltdowns. I watch their interviews on MSNow, I watch C-Span. Even some republicans are slowly beginning to express their own pissed-offness to his desperate grab at tyranny. As for yellows and orange? Nuh-uh - they both attract wasps and bees in the Summer. Give me the aquas, blues and greens, pinks and whites (all shades of white). We'll BLIND the frumpists with our blinding white light.
Let me know when you see or hear any Democrat, anywhere, tell the actual truth about the Trump Family. Let me know when one of the Dem leaders says something like this:
"Step back and observe and admire the scope of the Trump Organization's schemes to steal money using deception. From the US Treasury (we taxpayers) and oil companies and financial fraudsters and foreign governments and gullible citizens.
A slimy real estate guy gets a TV show and cons millions into thinking he's legit. For decades his family connived to trick banks and insurance companies and tax authorities, rather than conduct an honest business. Then they had a big idea. Dad would run for public office, using dirty tricks and double dealing billionaires for funding. Then leverage the office for family gain. So far the plan is working great! $4 Billion in their pockets and just getting started!
The $1.8 Billion of taxpayer money for payoffs of his criminal gang members and pals is just another successful con game in the gigantic overall scam.
The Trump Administration is a criminal enterprise, for money, to benefit the Trump Family and their bought and paid for enablers. This is the obvious truth, validated by their words of deception and law breaking actions every day."
Really? Where've you been? Spending ALL of your time on the internet? Try MSNow once in a while - where Democratic leaders are invitees just about every day as guests: Try Rachel Maddow on Mondays - then again on Sundays. Lawrence O'Donnell after Rachel's show 10p.m. (Eastern time - he's often on all week but has fill-in hosts when he needs a break). HE lets loose, no holds barred and never once gets attacked by the frumps. Gee, I wonder if it's because he does his homework and is scathing in his takedowns of that accursed family? The disdain in his voice is SO clear. Then Nicolle Wallace EVERY DAY (unless she's taking a much-needed break) 4p.m to 6p.m. Her show is 'Deadline White House' and she kicks ass imho as well as on her podcast: 'the best people'. I've just seen Jamie Raskin (again), Ro Khanna, Brendan Boyle, other Senators and Congresspeople - Monica McIvey (I think her name is spelled?) from New Jersey who was INDICTED by ice thugs for literally doing her duty by visiting a private prison IN HER DISTRICT last year along with the Mayor. They're both black so after the thugs arrested him SHE put her arms out and around him to protect him from being harmed - causing them to arrest her (they deliberately invited him in then arrested him AS he left). SO many Democratic Congress WOMEN speak out about everything you're complaining about - but you've never heard any of them? I'm astonished. Not every visit CAN be about the frump family's thievery but it IS covered almost every day. Other subjects are the fucking EPSTEIN FILES which he's desperately trying to distract us from - but these folks refuse to ignore, so show clips from the testimonies of the survivors IN Congress as well as the interrogations of Patel - the least qualified FeeBee ever and his drunken wild spending, kegsbreath and HIS overreach and wild spending. Both of the Vindman Brothers have been on - ALL of those fighting against the redistricting have been on, Marc Elias and Neal Katyal are usual guests describing how many lawsuits the frumps have LOST - which are never talked about elsewhere. Marc was instrumental in getting the continued building of that stupid-azz ballroom halted. Marc also has a podcast with Brian Tyler Cohen whose new book 'The Day After' is about to hit bookstores but can be pre-ordered.
I agree wholeheartedly with the fashion color choices. Institutional Soviet gulag noncolors must go!
That occurred to me, too. The Rs who are up for election are so far over the edge that it makes the Ds tolerable to many more folks 👹
I like to think his brain is full of crazed squirrels or raccoons.
Or as I believe it was Jeff in another post, "... rabid colicky raccoons... " (I may have added the rabid part, not sure, but definitely the colicky racoons - so fitting!)
I like the rabid part🤣🤣🤣
Crazed squirrels and raccoons seem most likely to me! 😂
They could also be rabid and speed up the process of no longer being on this earth…,,
'chewing through the wires in what remains of his mush-brain', lol.
Definitely!🤣🤣🤣
I see what you did there. ;) When he was 7 his older brother DUMPED an entire family sized dish of mashed potatoes onto his head in utter frustration because he wouldn't stop tormenting his even younger 5yr old brother and after the parents had told him to stop many times (Mary Trump told this story). Whichever brother did the dumping had finally had enough of his bullying and his reaction sent the entire family into gales of laughter, which caused HIM to be 'humiliated' which he's carried throughout his life. Can you imagine STILL being raging mad about something so utterly stupid when you've reached 80 (next month)? He's remained a spoiled brat/bully/coward for ALL of those decades. Perhaps at that time he really did have a 'hole in his head' into which the mashed potatoes seeped and WE are now bearing the brunt. Unfortunately, it's clear he'll never be satisfied with revenge on those he decided had 'wronged' him since most of his immediate family are no longer here, so he creates new ones. Perhaps we should ALL (and I mean all) start calling him Mashed Potatoes from now on? Reporter: Mr. Mashed Potatoes - I mean Trump. He: WHAT did you call me? Reporter: Mr. Trump. Him: NO, before that. Reporter, pretending to be bewildered. I called you Mr. Trump! Him (seething) that's not what I heard...you said Mr. Mashed Potatoes! And there we'll have it - his name from then on. ALL it'll take is one brave reporter to decide 'fuck it' I'll be the one. :)
WTF is he even tweet-truthing about??? You know, if I were a journalist, I would ask, 'WTF is wrong with you????’ I’m not afraid of that sack of rancid meat. I’m 65, so younger, fitter and smarter. Plus, I live in Scotland, and Scotland fucking hates him.
Anyway, love today’s photos, as always. Very calming. And I love your living room! Enjoy the rest of your Sunday 🎶
The living room is definitely cool. I’m going to copy that for decorating.
It really is!
Love to Scotland. We adore Scotland for the level of hate shown toward our seditionist/Rapist/Convicted Felon/Paedophile! He is hurting ALL of us who have fought for Climate Crisis mitigation, equality, health care etc. seditionists can be removed by our military but apparently they are too busing going other countries to steal resources and make lives miserable. 💔😔
After what he did at Turnberry (destroying a one-in-a-lifetime) ecological site on the Coast of Scotland - aided and abetted by stupid fools there who believed he really would create jobs FOR the locals, and who now all regret going along with that fucking golf course AND his abuse of the crofters who live there, people actually came from everywhere around with signs and banners to protest him and his 'project', and to stand up for Michael Forbes and his mother Molly who was already elderly at the time frump cut off their drinking water. A documentary was made - then a follow-up, to show what was done to them and others. Molly was shown carefully making her way to the nearest burn (stream) to fetch water to make her tea day after day after day. Can you imagine? Perhaps a year later, Michael was finally able to dig up a huge length of road to fix the broken pipe frump's people were supposed to fix but never did. Frump called Michael every vicious name in the book - it didn't start here - he tested out his 'piggy' nastiness there, in Scotland. The documentaries are: 'You've been trumped' parts 1 and 2. They used to be available on Youtube. Destroying old-growth forests and the entire land is unbelievable to see. The following year HE decided to tell the Scottish Government that they had no right to put windmills off THEIR coast since he decided they were an 'eyesore' to his golf course (mind you, the Scots invented golf and already have St. Andrews). They turned him down, the windmills stayed. He's pissed - as usual, as always.
Oh, I'm SO GLAD to meet someone who lives in Scotland (outside of my cousins who stayed there when we left Glasgow). I was just a kid - have been a New Yorker ever since but we re-connected as adults and they DO fucking hate him. I've watched his awfulness ever since I was a teenager here and he's ALWAYS been a terrible, horrid individual. How on earth his magat cultists fell for his line of utter bullshit enough to elect him still bewilders AND enrages me. I too amn't the least bit afraid of him and would love to get a Press Pass purely to ask that question. :)
Wow! How cool—Glasgow is a pretty swell city. I’ve not been over since we went to see Sparks there in 2016—we’re in the Borders. I remember when he came in 2008 to swindle his way into the first horrible golf course in Aberdeenshire. I kept shouting at the TV, ‘Don’t do it! You can’t trust him!’ But the then FM, Alex Salmond, whose constituency was in Aberdeenshire, convinced the council to reverse their decision and approve it. They did. I wonder what the fat bastard promised.
Oh, together, we could scare him. His goons would probably have to drag us out! It’s a great fantasy. I also fantasise about my pup and her pals having a jobby party on one or more of his courses. Normally, I wouldn’t do that. Or introducing the local cats to the sand traps. BTW, is that your doggy? Really cute! Samoyed or something else?
Yes - that white fuzz-face is Luka, my formerly abused rescued dog. He's an American Eskimo (probably a Spitz in Britain). He's lankier and more 'wolf-like' than Koda, our other shorter Eskie. They're in the same family as Samoyeds but those are bigger-boned with huge ruffs and probably weigh twice what my guys do now. Presently, Luka is dealing with a cyst of some kind on his front paw, being somewhat feverish so is on meds which make him drink copious amounts of water then pee it all out immediately, lol. Usually that's Koda's 'thing' so now the two of them are taking turns peeing over each other. Oy. Luckily we have stone-tile floors which are reasonably easy to clean (but a real pain in the ass). They were both abandoned (separately) by their previous owners and Luka was clearly badly abused. He's grown to love and trust me but still spooks at different things. His innate sweetness, though - melts my heart. If he'd only NOT try to kill and eat our big, orange cat Percy (who has to hide out in his bedroom for most of the day) I wouldn't worry so much. At night Luka sleeps crated so Percy sneaks out to stare at him. ;) ANYWAY, I'm glad you reminded me of Salmond - HE is talked about in that documentary (you've been trumped). He might have apologized for being bamboozled by this orange fuckwit (can you imagine he had himself piped in by 2 bagpipers? - it was so fucking pathetic...even then he imagined he was 'royalty'. Ugh). Luka can run like a gazelle - fastest dog I've ever seen, and he DIGS, so he'd make short work of that stupid golf course, lol. Great minds sure do think alike!
Luka sounds wonderful. Willow, the border collie in the pic, would gladly run around like a loon and dig with him! Poor baby and his paw. I do hope it’s nothing serious and he’ll recover very soon. Willow is a farm-born girl. We went ahead and paid for her and met her mum and the two brothers that have stayed on the farm. We didn’t mind doing that because so many BCs end up in shelters because people don’t research and take on more than they can handle. She’s slowed down a bit, because she’ll be 9 (OMG) in Sept. And she is a handful, but she’s sweet and loves cuddles and also has a crate—it’s her safe space, and she used to put herself to bed at night. Now she likes to stay up a bit later, but snoozes on the sofa. Loves to chase and be chased, so I have to keep her on the lead, as there are free-ranging sheep about and deer, hares, rabbits, etc. that run and she wants to chase them, which leads to livestock—a no-no. She would have be a cracking sheepdog, and I wanted to have herself and myself trained to do it, but it wasn’t possible at the time.Her bros are going to be retiring soon, they adopted a girl that I think is now about 2. I’ve had cats. I’ve not seen that doc. I’ll have to look for it. When he left the SNP he started the Alba party, sort of another version of the SNP, but it hasn’t had much traction and I don’t think I saw any candidates under that party on this month’s ballot. The party I’m worried about is Nigel Farage’s Reform Party. UGH. They dominated in England this month. Far right and he’s LOVES the Tangerine Nightmare. 🤮
THANK you! He's doing a wee bit better, but just threw up his medicine, so - got me upset again. His stomach fragility comes and goes, sigh. He's now 7-l/2 which seems impossible...I still think of him as a baby (we got him at a year and a half, in the beginnings of the Pandemic). It's his sweet heart and his eyes when he gazes into mine which cause me to melt - not the two times he bit me (caused by hubby losing HIS shit and escalating the stress level, expecting me to 'handle it'). The last time was a real mistake - he thought he was grabbing for a denta-stick treat and got my finger instead, then panicked and couldn't let go. I understood...got my tetanus shot updated and dealt with the pain which WAS admittedly bad (needing stitches and a bad bone bruise). Surprisingly, since then he seems to have really learned from that experience and let go of his fear. He still has 'some' but seems to have finally realized he could trust me. He's lying at my side right now - voluntarily, on his back with all legs akimbo...even smiling in his sleep. I still wouldn't allow anyone 'else' to handle him and fully understand your love for and protectiveness of your girl. Border collies have 'real jobs' without which they have a ton of excess energy. I could visualize them happily romping together. ;) 2) I don't really know enough about the UK 'leaders'. Need to do more research. 2) Didn't realize you posted songs! My husband is a huge Pink Floyd fan - we so enjoyed 'Time' from Dark Side of the Moon which he has in all its iterations. I'm still a CD person, though. Probably have around 700 now - although they're not all where they should be. Sorely need an organizer to help me with my books and music 'stuff'.
I’m sure Melonhead would like to know who Rachel is too.
Only if she's under 30, blonde, and seriously delusional in her devotion to him
The rent a wife doesn't give a fuck about anything unless she's paid to.
Do you blame her? Ewwww!
She made her bed, now she can wallow in it.
More like she made her STY.
And swallow Orange Hitler’s demon chowder
she is just as odious as her husband
This reminds me VIVIDLY of when 26,000 KKK members were permitted to march down Pennsylvania Avenue in 1926.
100 years ago - we haven't come far, have we?
Drumpf's father was arrested at that event. It was in the paper.
Dear Jeff, one day will you tell us the story of how you met Claudia? Part of me wants it to be love at first sight or how you met in kindergarten and another part of me wants it to be how she played hard to get because you were such a smartass. Or maybe she saw you and asked you out and it rendered you momentarily speechless. or maybe she was your prison penpal? TELL US PLEASE!!! 😃
😂🤨
This photo of her looking so pensive and - gazing out of a window? I had a shirt/jacket almost identical, also a necklace just like hers AND that fabric on the wall and around her - I swear I bought a ton of almost exactly the same - years ago, used as wallpaper and upholstered practically an entire room in it (I know it's a vacation home)...but it's all uncanny. At first my thoughts were that she's thinking about how short the vacation is - time to go home, but then...she could be thinking 'get that fucking camera out of my face, you'? :) only kidding, of course. It's a LOVELY photo. She's so photogenic - from childhood on.
His walking printer has access to the felon's SM login. So we can no longer assume that posts are his.
The WH press pool reported at 10:30 that they were loaded into their vans. So it appears that the motorcade will be taking a drive to the golf course. But they sat for like an hour yesterday b4 the motorcade departed.
I've assumed that almost all posts AREN'T his for at least a year. The mostly-correct punctuation, somewhat sophisticated phrasing, and the use of two-syllable words give it away.
They were looking for Mr. Wet wipes?
"Rachel Campos-Duffy was on the ground at the National Mall to host and cover the "Rededicate 250" event, a massive national celebration of prayer and praise for America's 250th birthday. During the event, she also promoted her book, All American Patriotism." Sean Duffy's reality TV, Fox & Friends host wife and all-around putrid human. So yeah, he thought he was texting.
Rededicate 250 is the totally unconstitutional, massive Christian Nationalist prayer meeting trump is allowing to happen today at the White House. I say "allowing, but he's actually one of the speakers, along with Mike Johnson, Pete Hegseth, Franklin Graham, Timothy Dolan, Jonathon Falwell, and several more CN supporters.
Who "Rachael" is, I would say "God alone knows" - but it's more probably "Old Nick,"
Trump isn't actually attending. He recorded a video message. Maybe he'll talk about his love for Two Corinthians.
😠😠🤯🤯😡😡😡😡 the more Christo-fascist events he holds in the WH, appearing to be sponsored by the government, the harder those parasites are going to be to pry out and kick their theocratic butts out the door. this is going to cause trouble down the road, I just know it.
Man, I wanna party with THESE guys! Is Dolan the only Papist in attendance? He's only there because he feuded with Pope Leo. My only question is how are they gonna grift some additional Somalians from this Holy Joe-a-Rama?
Half of these names I've never heard before reading about them here.
OH MY LORD!
If ONLY about a million folks texted back and said "yeah, dude! You can resign, that would be a BIGLY HELP!!"
We drove by the National Mall Friday evening and saw the monstrosity of a stage and tents that had ridiculous coverings to look like Greek pillars. My husband and I just looked each other. One of us said, "More Trump shit desecrating our city."
I wonder if it’s Rachel Campos-Duffy, Sean Duffy’s execrable wife who thought it was hilarious when Paul Pelosi was attacked with a hammer.
Is anyone else thinking ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST?
The silence of the USCCB and Southern US Catholic bishops on this overt racism and bigotry has me staggering
https://www.ms.now/opinion/voting-rights-act-black-south-louisiana-callais
I WAS IN CHINA! SO SOLLY! I GOT DOGWALKED LIKE A DAMN DOG. (THey eat them over there!!!) Rachel CD call me (telephone emoji).
I'm wondering that if you call an escort "Rachel CD" it means Rachel Cross Dresser, in the same way that if you saw an escort was calling herself "TSDestinee" you're about to hire an escort with a li'l something extra.
“Government of self-entitled assholes” — this should be the chief campaign slogan for the next election. Assuming we have next elections. Happy Sunday, everybody. Or most everybody.
And those photos of Missus Spouse are just lovely. Thank you for sharing them. It dampens the rage a bit.
john Ossoff coined "Epstein class" which is shorter. & is a reference to the first issue that started fracturing the felon's support.
Until it fractures support with party officials and elected representatives, nothing about Epstein and his crimes will matter. Fatfuck had his own modeling agency trafficking Eastern European girls.
a number of people have said that we have to wait until after the primaries for politicians to break with him. see what happened to those state house Rs in Indiana that didn't vote to draw a new map. & Sen of Cassidy of LA was defeated in the primary yesterday. His sin? something like he voted to convict the felon in one of the impeachment trials. & Rep Massey of KY is being primaried for the sin of sponsoring the Epstein files law.
The conclusion I draw is there is no longer a GOP, just the MAGA cult of personality. The sane people have mostly left.
But if you look at polls and special elections, Trump is deeply underwater. (Maybe Patel was looking for him.) That's a good sign for November.
John McCain was the last honorable Republican.
There was much to like -- and dislike -- about McCain. His opposition to gays in the service was appalling. And there are a tiny handful of honorable Republicans left, but most are now out of office, like Adam Kinzinger.
Lindsey Graham said out loud that it's the party of trump, making it abundantly clear that there IS no more Republican Party the way some of us remember it - with WAR Hero John McCain - whom Graham used to be 'best friends' with along with Joe Biden whom Graham described as the best man you'd ever meet - something along those lines. THAT part is on video - he's in the back of a limo being interviewed and waxes rhapsodic about his wonderful friend Joe. THEN he became a frumpist - so what happened? Has to be something frump threatened him with - outing him as gay? the entire world believes he is - that's no biggie, but maybe to him it is?
My theory is that Graham has a lifetime of attaching himself to alpha males. In the House it was Henry Hyde. In the Senate it was McCain. When McCain died he floundered before attaching himself to Trump. Why people in South Carolina aren't humiliated by him representing them is a mystery.
That’s good. Also the ruling class
Or Government of Anal Sphincters or G.A.S.
Diaper Don has no self-control, so he both has and is an incontinent anal sphincter
Often seen during the dry season as a fecalith.
Pet peeve: in "government of the people, by the people, and for the people" the phrase "government of the people" means that the people are the ones being governed (and they are being governed by themselves, for their own benefit). The self-entitled assholes are NOT being governed. This is "government of the REST OF US by the self-entitled assholes, and for the self-entitled assholes"
Exactly....❤
I’m not confident that the felons will want elections but I say states should implement instant laws that only count Dems to balance the Red state shit..proclaim ourselves victors and move i to Congress anyway. Escorted by military. Seditionists are not allowed in public office! So it’s not a coup but a battle against the traitors and enemies within.
Hmmm..,
Hmmm what? Not seditionists? It’s in writing what is supposed to happen to seditionists. Or do you a conversation and olive leaf across the aisle will do? We lose or we demand the laws be obeyed by them, otherwise they should not continue to be applied to the Democratic side.
I believe the 'hmmm' is for the idea that the military will join in to round up the real seditionists - or would they instead go after Democratic lawmakers who're being labeled 'seditionists' since that's the huge lie frump et al have been spinning - always the accusation is a confession? He began with Pence then moved to Comey and Letitia James, Fani Willis, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Today it's Thomas Massie...then decided that even Mark Kelly and the other 5 democratic military heroes who joined in telling the military they can refuse ILLegal orders were now committing 'treason' since to frump and his magats even disagreeing with the tiniest sliver of his insanity is tantamount to 'treason'....exactly whom do you think 'the military' would obey? This is a real question, btw. I know there are some real generals and other high officers left who'd refuse illegal orders but how much control would they have over their troops if the stupidest presiDUNCE ever declared martial law (his dream)? So far, not being able to open those dozens of private prisons all over the Country due to lawsuits filed because of the inability of the towns being able to handle the septic and water systems are all that seem to be preventing far more incarcerations of frump's perceived 'enemies'. Who knew that NIMBY would serve to stop even his most fervent magats from fulfilling his deepest desires. Marc Elias of Democracy Docket has been fighting hard in winning these suits, EVEN with Republican Judges.
Only the commenter can address his own statement.
I read this today on FB, the Democratic Voice: Every time Mike Johnson says "I don't know anything about it," a reporter needs to say: How can Americans expect you to do your job if you don't know anything about anything?"
It reminded me of your: The first reporter who stands up and says (to Trump) "what the fuck is wrong with you" should get a lifetime Pulitzer.
If his only source of information is FOX NEWS and Newsmax, you can't expect him to have any useful/accurate updates. I doubt any maga politicians ever watch the news, unless it's to see themselves perform for trumple-thin-skin. They need to be sure they praised him enough....and that's an impossible task!
Makes me wonder what info his staff feeds him.
Well if that bimbo who follows him around… “Printer Barbie”…is any indication …. They just keep telling him how much he’s “winning” 🥴
I'd ask him where he got his edited copy of the Bible that omits the part about not bearing false witness.
Why the o-fishul trump bible, of course! Thoroughly edited to espouse maga religiousity!
Is that the one with the verse "Thou shall deport the stranger?"
And 'Do unto others anything you can get away with'. (Please pardon incorrect grammar.)
Just occurred that his staff prolly hands him a list of trump's latest batshit fuckwittery. The list is titled THINGS ABOUT WHICH YOU PRETEND TO KNOW NOTHING.
Or, maybe they call it 'The Sgt Schultz Daily Briefing'.
My reply to any of these miscreant sycophants would be "It's your job to know, and since you don't you are unqualified to be in the position you're in."
It's been said before, but Mike knows Nazi-ing.
Thank you for the daily pictures of Claudia. They help me calm down after reading the rest of your post!
they calm me down, too
Your living room itself, with all the plants and homey touches, looks very soothing.
🩷💞♥️
Agree. The pictures add a moment for a smile after a strong dose of our reality. Your living room looks so cosy and welcoming. Beautiful place to chat with friends. ❤️🪴
I just knew she was a plant person.
Was thinking exactly that as well!
Desecration of our national monuments and our sacred sites honoring those who gave their lives for us is one of trump's most visible actions. I am sad and enraged that the military personnel involved in the Arlington National Cemetery and the USS Arizona Memorial debacles felt compelled to comply with these disrespectful and superlatively inappropriate frivolous romps. Fuck trump, Patel, and all of MAGA for their defilement of America.
I didn't think that military leaders answered to FBI heads. Yes, shame on those military personnel for allowing that desecration by a drunken frat boy and his cronies.
FBI is not in the chain of command, absolutely. I wish they would have told Patel to Fuck Off in no uncertain terms. I will refrain here from impugning the reputation of our military and chalk these incidents up to individuals who are MAGA or unable to say no.
They don't, but when the entire regime is colluding in assholery, it's no prob for trash patel to reach out to secdoof hogsbreath for a solid.
fine. SecDrunk can help reimburse taxpayers for using the Seals.
Pretty certain the order to comply came from someone at the top of the chain of command. Had those leaders refused, they would have been fired by Hegseth and immediately replaced with someone more willing to comply with whatever the executive branch demands of them.
I thought I had posted about this before but I can't find it. I wrote to the U.S. Navy Department and asked them why the Navy SEALS participated in last year's Patel-led goat fuck at the sacred U.S. Arizona. It would be good if more people wrote to them . Wouldn't hurt. I'm so angry I don't know what else to do.
💯💯💯💯
And this right here—the Navy SEALs who participated, even though the FBI director is not in their chain of command—that nobody is talking about.
Patel is a 15 year old who has access to all the "cool" shit in the country and he's going to smash and grab whatever he can while he's there. Who are those people who joined him at Pearl Harbor? Why are there so many Americans who support and participate in this foul behavior ?
Lol, I am offended on behalf of 15 year-olds who I would venture to say might have more sense than that idiot.
I also thought about why Navy Seals brought these assholes to a sacred memorial to snorkel? So far the military has been very compliant! Ending with those lovely pictures of Claudia is the light at the end of the tunnel! Thank you Jeff!!
I also wonder about the Navy SEALS. How could a bankrupt piece of cow dung just commandeer a team of Navy Seals for such a cluster fuck as that?
Yes, the photos of Claudia are so uplifting. Thank you, Jeff, for sharing them with us.
Why have the navy seals escort the most despicable person ever to be granted a job by the US government? And to commit a desecration of a monument to service members who gave their last full measure for our country?
If service members can’t refuse such an “assignment” imagine what that will do to recruiting much less retention. They are not supposed to be personal servants to the Epstein class. How humiliating for us all that our war dead are being used to say fuck you to democracy and the US Constitution with personal protection provided by the navy seals.
it's a feature of this administration. not a bug. it's why he put an utter ass-clown like Hegseth in charge of the Pentagon. He doesn't care, he thinks they are "suckers" and "losers" and will use them for cannon fodder in a useless war if he gets the chance. Fuck these people straight to the bowels of Hell.
My friend Tom’s dad was supposed to be aboard Arizona that morning but he was over at Hickam playing poker with an Air Corps buddy from Texas. On a hot streak and losing track of the time, he saw the sun coming up and knew he was about to be late for his watch. He thought “one more hand” and the bombs started falling. Like most of the guys he figured it was a drill until the explosions began in earnest.
He hustled back to Pearl in time to see his ship shoveling out fire and smoke as she sank at her moorings, oil burning on the water and his shipmates—burned, screaming—thrashing around. His friends were killed when Arizona was blown apart by a Nakajima B5N dropping a converted 16‑inch armor‑piercing naval shell, a Type 99 Number 80 bomb of about 1,760 pounds, which punched through the forward decks and detonated the magazines.
The man told me about this decades later, tears in his eyes. "My best friend and I shared the same birthday. He was going to cover for me if I was late." It hurt as much as ever. I am glad he didn't live to see this.
Kash holding a VIP snorkel party over a mass grave where more than a thousand US sailors are still entombed is desecration dressed as a flex. Kash is the most despicable figure in America THIS WEEK.
Next week it will be another embarrassing, horrifying, enraging obscenity. Probably Drunkle Pete's new memo about the new "military justice" or something awful
Goody.
I wish this could be read on every news outlet across the nation. This is why what Ka$hyap did was so unspeakable. And why it was unforgiveable that Navy Seals accommodated him in this desecration.
I wonder about those Seals. Wasn't this a case of "don't obey illegal orders?"
agreed. it's a obscene
I've been to the USS Arizona memorial, and let me tell you, the last fucking thing I was thinking about while there was GOING FOR A FUCKING SWIM. What a soulless piece of trash.
When I first heard about the snorkeling trip at Pearl Harbor, I thought “Dude, there are LOTS of better places to snorkel on Oahu”. Of course it wasn’t about seeing awesome sea creatures, but about desecration of a holy spot, because he’s fucking grand poobah of the FBI! (and self-entitled asshole) I’ve visited there and it’s one solemn and serious place. Isn’t there anyone in the military capable of saying, “No! You will NOT do that!”???
I think of Kash Patel as Roy Cohn having a bad LSD trip and making a big deal of it. See you in Valhalla! (He actually said that.).
This whole wrecking crew is drunk on power. The collective of misfits starting with the orange demented blob has put our economy in the toilet. I'm ready for the immorality, the corruption and depravity to end ASAP.
My grandfather served on the Arizona during WWI. He was so upset by the Pearl Harbor attack, he tried to reenlist but was deemed too old. His son, however, joined the Marines at 17 and fought his way across the Pacific. I invite Kash and his snorkeling buddies to do a little scuba cave exploring in the Maldives.
I so wish your grandpa, in the shape he was in WWI, could have a few minutes in a room with Patel.
What a sad story that is! Brilliant marine scientists lost their lives.
No worries for MAGA. trump's overdue for a public groping of the American flag to make everything better. I'm guessing when trump fondles the flag he's pretending it's a 15-yr-old Ivanka.
What bugshit fuckwittery will the giant orange turd perpetrate this Memorial Day? Any bets he's pictured executing his janky salute somewhere?
I can't worry about it because I'm more scared of what he has in mind for July 4th.
The very sight of him as POTUS on July 4th will be sickening. Washington, Jefferson et al. must be spinning at 12,000 rpm in their graves.
It's sure to be sickening.
EXACTLY 💯
And his fucking birthday!!!!!
I just wish Philadelphia’s mayor Cherelle Parker would issue a decree banning all members of the current regime from setting foot in our fair city during all of 2026. (and beyond)👹
If only she could (effectively). Most of them will prolly be lined up to brown-nose wherever trump is.
😂👏
If ever there was a sorry group of individuals with absolutely no Situational Awareness, it's this lot. How the country has managed to function at all with them cavorting, I do not know. Cross-country ventures, beer parties at sports events, snorkeling at Pearl Harbor, Howard Lutnick; just a sampling of the excesses of this "Cabinet." Not a bright bunch.
This isn't a cabinet, it's a junk drawer.
stolen.
Just when you think that they have reached the bottom rung of despicable behavior….
Every day brings a new atrocity.
It's drill baby drill when they are looking for new lows of despicable behavior.
Really Patty, it just keeps piling up...every single day!
All those honored dead and then there’s Patel hosting a party literally pissed while pissing on their graves. The criminally insane of Murder Inc. USA continue to engage in unleashed, despicable behavior. 86 47
Forget the National Park Service. who at PACCOM or SOCOM authorized the Seals to take part in this?
And when Dems, knock wood, retake the House, I want hearings to uncover what this & his other boondoggles cost tax payers. & the precedent is set with Coast Guard charging folks when they have to be rescued trying to walk across the ice on Lake Erie. All the costs associated with those 2 SEALS teams ain't cheap. And the FBI isn't part of DoD, so the reimbursement should be higher, just as it is when DoD aircraft are used.
& Ka$h should be liable for the costs, just like a general has to occasionally reimburse the government when his wife flies with him on trips on government aircraft. (look it up)
The #PuppyKiller should be the next, but by no means the last, regime official investigated this way.
& also, we know they are violating the Hatch Act. Guess what? If you're found to have done campaign business on government time, you have to reimburse that part of your salary. See Loretta Doan, head of GSA during W's admin.
The level of disrespect of this fucking snorkel excursion cannot be adequately described with words. Every year on the anniversary of Pearl Harbor, the solemnity of the commemoration ceremony is something to behold. Even dignitaries from Japan have attended, along with those remaining survivors of that day. Tears are shed. Remembrance of lost friends and comrades are shared. Convictions of commiseration are expressed. Offerings of wreaths are made. The USS Arizona Memorial, besides being a consecrated resting place, is also a symbol of the terrible toll of war and aggression and the ceremony is seen as a prayer for peace. This is outrageous. Heads should roll for allowing this, not to mention all those jackasses who went into the water to gape.
Apparently, the Navy said whoever authorized the excellent adventure cannot be determined.
fuck that. there is more than one CYA email/memo out there over this.
That's for certain.
And I have this family heirloom, it's so precious to my family, but I desperately need the money to save grandma, so I'm offering it for sale....I'll give you a special price if you pay cash--It's a beautiful bridge in Brooklyn......
Did the Navy spokesperson claim this before or after polishing off a bottle of Ka$hyap bourbon?
Will ya throw in a trump watch?!
When I get my golden phone, I'll include that in the deal!
Which you never will receive
