PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: if you see any "photos" of fencing or a tarp around the Reflecting Pool, DO NOT BE FOOLED. they are AI-generated slop, which is the last thing we need right now
Thinking back, Jeff, we ALL understand you falling head over heels in love with Claudia when she first looked at you through that door. Just remember, as we read what you put down and see you in those pictures with her, we can see how she fell for you also. You will always have that.
That last photo we hadn't seen before - of them together last August just took ME down, it's so heartwarming and lovely. REAL love, for all the world to see...if they look.
It doesn’t show the water green. Might they have frozen the images from the first day and be running some kind of loop? Sincerely yours, someone who used to be trusting…
They updated the book/manuscript right up to their last interview with Trump in March or April (the final chapter). I’m not sure they sat on it, even though I loathe the fucking NY Times.
Barbara McQuade’s “The Fix: Saving America from the Corruption of a Mob-Style Government” is also very good.
I'm currently rereading my ancient copy of "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac, which launched the Beat Generation in the 1950s. After that I will reread my ancient copy of "Steal This Book" by Abbie Hoffman.
I suggest "I'd Rather We Got the Casinos (and Other Black Thoughts)" by Larry Wilmore. It's a hilarious collection of essays and is exactly what it sounds like. I read the whole thing on a flight to the DR last year. Excellent, and very easy to read.
Way to go, Joe. IF we don't all stay informed (I so enjoyed their interview by Lawrence but haven't yet seen Jon Stewart's), how can we prove our points to the frumpians as to just HOW much lying has been done/still going on heading into the mid-terms which are only 4 months away and closing fast?! You can BET the orange toddler has plans to fuck with the elections even IF he declares the fake-azz 'national emergency' he's already suggested. Refusing to sign this bi-partisan housing bill is, to me - a test run for when he holes up in his 'bunker' issuing insane 'executive orders' while paying ZERO attention to our Democratic Senate, House and Courts. WE won't know if it's him or AI generated...it could even be nosferatu/goebbels-miller. kegsbreath or their entire gang of thugs 'in charge' for all we'd know. A true 'Weekend at Bernie's' scenario on a bigger scale.
Devourer, I don't want to give Maggie Habermann any $$ either; she was a *major* factor in torpedoing Hillary Clinton's candidacy over her emails. If Hillary had been elected, we wouldn't be here, suffering with Orange Monster. So I don't think I'll be buying the Habermann/Swan book, either.
Whether anyone buys it or not, as discussed between Lawrence O’Donnell and former Associate AG Andrew Weissmann, the documentation and accuracy of White House discussions in the book - pretty much unrefuted by this maladministration - will be used by defendants to demonstrate vindictive prosecutions by Orange Hitler’s justice department.
That's your choice but here's an idea - YOU send away for it - then immediately donate it to your local library. That way you're not actually 'giving' her (the person he called 'maggot') money (what about Jonathan?) but can call it a donation instead and let Joe decide for himself?
When I buy a book I tend to lend it out to those I know will appreciate it first since my Local Library usually has these books in long before I buy them for my personal read. I still have 'Becoming' by Michelle Obama and am NOT donating it so some racist can destroy it. It's for my enjoyment and to reread, quote AND to show some facts against those who believe the magat bullshit drummed up against her.
That story he told about the guy whose wife suddenly thinks he's a financial wizard? He used the same story during his first attempt at preznidating. Almost exactly the same. The only difference is the husband didn't decide he didn't like his wife anymore at the end of the fantasy. The first version had the wife - trump tells this part in a ridiculous high-pitched voice - " oh honey I'm so proud of you! I used to think you were bad at investing, but now I see you're a genius! I love you so much! " It was just as stupidly fake as the new one.
Uncle Jeff, This is not an adequate use of AI. Sorta like as we all remember, the AI Image of Trump Flying the Poopy plane. That too was an equally useless piece of shit...literally.
I thought I was reading a magabot post yesterday about the Texas protesters being found guilty of domestic terrorism and sentenced to much longer prison terms than the J6 insurrectionists, but sadly it’s the fucking truth. I really hate this timeline and November 3rd can’t come soon enough for me to keep me from losing my sanity.
right? It's like he was showing her that he would get down on his knee and propose to her all over again. <3
I wonder how many lost opportunities to find such love have happened since dating someone you work with became taboo and grounds for discipline up to dismissal. :-(
Clicking through to the underlying mediaite article convinced me the chain fencing is real, because it was based on reporting from TMZ. TMZ has somehow become the Teen Vogue of the DC press corps, and I mean that as a high compliment.
Christ...why do people do stupid fucking things like this? Like we don't have enough of a problem regarding believability with news stories, especially online...
Personally, I'd like to get back to the releasing of the Epstein files. I don't really give a shit about the Reflecting Pool right now. Yes, it's a debacle, and it's a real mess, but there are powerful men being protected by these files not being released. These mthrfkrs need to be held accountable. Thanks.
Yes, I agree.The reflecting pool debacle, the Kennedy Center bullsh*t, the war( it is a war) in Iran and most of the other hog slop that Little Donnie FF and company throw out there are smokescreens to keep us from demanding the release of the Epstein files which is THE story of the most hideous child sex ring and cover up in the history of our country imfo.
See thats where I disagree. If you polled voters, most of them would agree that Trump was a whore monger and a pedophile. The 30% of voters who still support him would say, and I quote a Trump voter when asked about this, "So, ha ha, we knew he wasn't a saint when we voted for him. We didnt vote for a saint." (same reason Bill Clinton is still popular) You could have photos of Trump screwing six year old boys and their puppies and it wouldnt move dial. (only the price of gas does that) people forget that just before he was elected he was convicted of raping a woman.
This is off-topic, but I'm so grateful to the World Cup even though I have no interest in the sport, because visitors have reminded me that there's more going on in America than Fuckwit and his stupidity and incompetence. Europeans, in particular, are wowed and surprised. Favorites so far are Costco, Walmart, air conditioning, ranch dressing, yellow school buses, marching bands, flyovers, the scenery (from anywhere), portion sizes, free refills and general friendliness. Enjoy this beautiful summer day and remember that it's a big wide wonderful world, love is forever and Trump is temporary.
After FIFA super Swiss suckup Infantino gave Fat Bastard that ridiculous "FIFA Peace Prize," I was completely dismissive and derisory of the WC. But hearing that the fans from some of the Commonwealth nations are trolling Demented DonOld, why, it's a redemption! And these fans have shown us how to keep him from showing up and sullying our sporting events: boo the shit out of him and chant insults. Word is his handlers don't want him to attend certain matches where the fans will call him pedo and other accurate monikers
Also remember that Donnie Demento is--and always has been--incapable of enjoying such things (which is why he's hellbent on destroying all of it).
I feel the same as you--I've no interest in soccer/football, but I am enjoying the hell out of the fans enjoying the hell out of everything. Once Demento is finally dead, the first thing the restored USAid program should do, before settling down to the serious work, is send Solo cups and ranch dressing overseas.
So right, the nation is pretty awesome but the current troll admin is atrocious. Our Euro friends know this, and their pisstakes are exceptional. That line by Gary Oldman in Slow Horses describing a certain bathroom activity as 'taking a Donald' is a good example.
What I want is the RWNJ conservative/christo-fascist/white supremacist/Project 202x weirdo stranglehold on our country to be broken. I want billionaires and the trillionaire to be dealt with legally, such that we don't have that extreme an income disparity in our country any more. They wrecked our nation and want to carve it up into their fiefdoms. We MUST prevail, or we're going to lose this country for decades, if not forever.
And YES, RELEASE ALL OF THE EPSTEIN FILES, UNREDACTED.
Ann: It is indeed uplifting to see the Tartan Army in Boston, then Miami, all the joy, merrymaking & shenanigans! Comments about the US & the hospitality were just joyful…
Just watching the Tartan Army take over Boston, and everyone also doing the Viking Rows, and the Korean-Mexican love flowing here in L.A., really does my heart good!
The damage TRump has done, and is continuing to do daily, is not temporary. This will take decades to fix. He must be removed from office and neutralized, before he does something that completely destroys us.
I'm in Lisbon and sat in a Cafe at night with friends watching Portugal win their match. Lots of fun. I have to disagree about portion size. Much of Europe has caught up to us.
Outstanding and complete summary of our demise. One thing is missing tho… he has also destroyed our sanity. Blood pressures are rising and morale is plummeting.
Gee, Ms. Spouse was a really beautiful lady-I just love the photos.
To anyone not in the cult, it is clear that this lifelong fuckup, this walking embodiment of the Seven Deadly Sins, this sociopathic, predatory, infantile narcissist breaks everything he can get his grubby, short fingered hands on. This is bad beyond belief. To add to the unprecedented destruction of America and the world, the party of predator protectors has completely abrogated their roles to act as the necessary checks and balances on just this type of destructive authoritarianism. The party of family values, less government, fiscal responsibility, the Constitution, freedom, law and order, all their self-aggrandizing descriptors, embraces him and facilitates his malfeasance. We already know he is beyond evil and terrible. Everyone who does not oppose him is culpable as well. They must pay for their actions.
Oh but you should head them on the local level! The disaster that the Big Bullshit Bill has brought to municipalities across the country with humungous cuts to states which they pass along to towns has caused towns like mine that never raise property taxes to raise property taxes. But the problem isn't the BBB. Oh no. The problem is the previous mayor under a different prez who built a new school and improved road safety. How dare that mayor make our schools better!! How dare our roads be safer!! And how dare our muni employees HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE!! OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!! So now the MAGAts have us spending $8k on a recount of the override vote, have sowed rumors that our voting machines are broken and are gearing up to say we have "voter fraud." They are blasting the tired meme of "Lincoln was a Republican" and "Save our Seniors from losing their homes." But will NOT admit, even when presented with legit graphs and charts, that the BBB caused the shitstorm of higher property taxes. As it was designed to do ..
And this, my friends is the real "trickle down economics.". The rot starts as the head, as they say. And it's true. We're smelling it right about now.
The town is split. While the liberal side lays some blame on the prev mayor there is acknowledgement of the BBB damage. The MAGA lays blame all on the mayor and no acknowledgement of the BBB. There is some sour graping also by a candidate who didn't win their bid for mayor and her sour grape cadre. Small towns, ya know. Where politics can also be personali-tics
Hopefully this will be the end of the Republican Party. Maybe we can start a new Party of Lincoln. The Republican should go the way of the Federalist party.
Let's note the parallel to Demento's own domestic life: Melania is just about to serve him with divorce papers, because he's such a bankrupt moron, in 2016, and then the useless waste of carbon wins the election--beginning a 10-year binge of ripping off the United States. She sticks around, because suddenly her pre-nup is worth more.......and Demento doesn't seem to like her very much.
The give away was the use of the word "sir". Anytime the mango mussolini employs someone addressing him as "sir" you know it's unadulterated bullshit. The convolution of his fever dreams and reality is breathtaking.
First of all, today’s Daily Claudia are the best ones yet (if that is possible). I can’t take how adorable she is and the one with her loving husband knocked it out of the park. Dang with huge hearts 💕💞🩷on the side.
Donny Dirtbag is so grotesque and embarrassing he truly leaves me without speech. I am being honest here when I say I don’t understand why he is allowed to continue this dumbfuckery (JT) without consequences. Take the tarp off the Kennedy Center NOW. Stop destroying our house and monuments NOW. Release the Epstein Files NOW. Every single freaking day it is more of his nonsense and zero consequences.
If any of us destroyed the monuments or the White House or if our names were in Epstein Files, our asses would be hauled off and put in jail. But him, nada! In fact his empty skull is probably thinking of his next score.
Damn him and all the voiceless idiots who protect him.
Hi Sheila. Johnny Rotten was lead singer of a British punk band called the Sex Pistols. Natalia was identifying Donald Trump with that band and lead singer. I liked it and I’m stealing it but I’m modifying it to “Donnie Rotten and the PedoPistols”. (although that’s being unfairly demeaning to the Sex Pistols and for that I apologize.
TBF the only thing going right for Donald is destroying the federal work force. If my job were on the line I would probably hug a pillow and keep telling myself to hold it together for another two years.
I used a term "manufactured exhaustion" in my most recent article "The Architecture of Corruption." The criminal elect and his merry band of corrupt incompetent sociopaths create so much chaos with a firehose of lies, corruption, lawlessness, abuse of power, and failure, even your latest is absent a mention of the Epstein-Trump-Maxwell files. News aggregators over the last several days have not talked about the tarp, the complete failure in Iran, Trump's grifted jet (and its near billion dollar price tag we pay for as taxpayers), and so much more. We are living in the middle of Naomi Klein's "Shock Doctrine."
Corporate consolidation, an inevitable product of American laissez-faire capitalism and avarice, has finally reached the media sphere after previously invading the retail, food production, durable goods, energy and healthcare spaces. So now what we are told is controlled by an unprecedentedly small number of entities. Even more alarming, when the oligarch owners are bending over for the dictator, "encouraged" by the FCC's threats of censorship, the formerly sacrosanct free press, expressly enshrined by the founders in the First Amendment, has gone the way of the dodo. Welcome to the Sovietesque States of What Used to be America.
So true Mary. Under the cover of chaos -they blatantly steal all they can. Whether it’s the criminal elect and his corrupt family, the insatiable greed of billionaires who want more wealth, or the political party they’ve bought and paid for who want more power -as they steal from the treasury, from democracy, and our future.
I am glad you brought up driving across the pool with SUV’s. Just one very important cause of damage to the reflecting pool that Trump won’t acknowledge. Or the media!
And thank you for your Claudia pictures. The love you shared is a real reason to smile.
I still don't get that bit of flex. What was the point? Who is impressed? Even his dumb base can't be impressed that he drove over the reflecting pool.
That is the foreign policy of the United States, typed at the volume of a man losing an argument with a parking meter — all-caps, three exclamation points, signed like a ransom note. It worked exactly as bluster works: Iranian negotiators, meeting U.S. diplomats in Switzerland to finalize a deal, walked out after the tirade. The dealmaker blew his own load on his own deal, with his own thumbs, and he looks like a shit swizzling wank-knocker.
Enshittification is how he deals with the USA and the world at large. Everything he touches is enshittified. He has no taste. He is vulgar. And worst of all, he imagines himself the epitome of good taste and class by smearing gold paint on all he surveys. He is the world's biggest joke, parading around in his diaper and his limited grasp of political savvy. And his punctured hands are on the buttons, his cankles on the throttle.
Enshittification. My new favorite word. Thanks. And thanks uncle Jeff for another in a (sadly) long series of excellent posts documenting our national nightmare. Thank you.
It all comes down to his narcissism - on the order of Mr.Everest of Narcissism- the likes we hope never shall we see again. It’s the overriding factor of all his flaws and his cruelty.
The picture of you and Claudia is like peeking into a couple's private life, and realizing how completely they love each other. Beautiful. I feel happy looking at it. Thank you for sharing that.
I feel the same way about their wedding day photo. Claudia is looking at the camera, absolutely gorgeous, and Jeff is looking at her with an expression that reads “How the fuck did I get to be the luckiest guy in the world?”
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: if you see any "photos" of fencing or a tarp around the Reflecting Pool, DO NOT BE FOOLED. they are AI-generated slop, which is the last thing we need right now
like this — this isn't real: https://bsky.app/profile/nothoodlum.bsky.social/post/3moyy3q4ozc2e
I love you & Mrs Spouse, Jeff BUT you left out the EPSTEIN FILES which IMHO are the motivation for 99% of everything the Orange Turd has been doing.
Never
forget
the crimes
and
the VICTIMS!
THIS! THIS! THIS!
Interesting
https://www.instagram.com/p/DZ0IoMOOOMS/
But it is pretty funny and I wouldn’t put it past Pumpkin Head to do it à la Kennedy Center
that's why I almost fell for it and almost used it as the header image for the post — because it's totally believable
Thinking back, Jeff, we ALL understand you falling head over heels in love with Claudia when she first looked at you through that door. Just remember, as we read what you put down and see you in those pictures with her, we can see how she fell for you also. You will always have that.
We love those photos. Old ones.
That last photo we hadn't seen before - of them together last August just took ME down, it's so heartwarming and lovely. REAL love, for all the world to see...if they look.
It hit you too. What an amazing couple. Connected to the bone.
It's easy to check, as there's an EarthCam there
https://www.earthcam.com/usa/dc/washingtonmonument/?cam=wamo
It doesn’t show the water green. Might they have frozen the images from the first day and be running some kind of loop? Sincerely yours, someone who used to be trusting…
The EarthCam is too far away to see what is actually happening. Can’t see any fencing and certainly no tarps.
awesome, thanks!
This a very cool! Thanks! 😎
Remember when robots didn't like to lie?
See YouTube - Lister Teaches Kryten How to Lie / Red Dwarf - BBC
Holy shit. Is there anything true coming out of TRump's pie hole or Clown Car Cabinet anymore?! No.
You heard Maggie Habermann and Jonathan Swan on both Jon Stewart’s and Lawrence O’Donnell’s programs: *ASSUME EVERYTHING HE SAYS IS A FUCKING LIE!*
My book just arrived. Devouring it
Please donate it to a library or something after you read it. I do not want to give Habermann money for sitting on important information.
They updated the book/manuscript right up to their last interview with Trump in March or April (the final chapter). I’m not sure they sat on it, even though I loathe the fucking NY Times.
Barbara McQuade’s “The Fix: Saving America from the Corruption of a Mob-Style Government” is also very good.
Really? I'm not sure I can handle either book right now. I need a breezy beach read to stave off the madness.
I'm currently rereading my ancient copy of "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac, which launched the Beat Generation in the 1950s. After that I will reread my ancient copy of "Steal This Book" by Abbie Hoffman.
I suggest "I'd Rather We Got the Casinos (and Other Black Thoughts)" by Larry Wilmore. It's a hilarious collection of essays and is exactly what it sounds like. I read the whole thing on a flight to the DR last year. Excellent, and very easy to read.

From that perspective, think beyond yourselves.
That's a fabulous idea. I hated giving her any money but I really wanted to read it. Normally, I wait on the library's waiting list but I was weak!
Giving it away will at least make me feel slightly better.
(Although I do like Jonathan Swan.)
That's your choice but here's an idea - YOU send away for it - then immediately donate it to your local library. That way you're not actually 'giving' her (the person he called 'maggot') money (what about Jonathan?) but can call it a donation instead and let Joe decide for himself?

It's for my enjoyment and to reread, quote AND to show some facts against those who believe the magat bullshit drummed up against her.
I can assure everyone it is worth reading, and I am only 100 pages in
I have it downloaded. It’s on my To Do list.
They've got us where they want us, to be just like Russia: "Everything is possible and nothing is true."
What truly blows my mind is, that people still believe them. It's insane.
So are almost 80 million voters in this shithole country
And to accept with a shrug.
Anymore? Never has been!
Was there ever?
Nope.
That story he told about the guy whose wife suddenly thinks he's a financial wizard? He used the same story during his first attempt at preznidating. Almost exactly the same. The only difference is the husband didn't decide he didn't like his wife anymore at the end of the fantasy.

It’s as phony as he is.
Sorry for the crass comment but essentially he said that guy got BJ because of him.
I'd forgotten that! So sick.
Uncle Jeff, This is not an adequate use of AI. Sorta like as we all remember, the AI Image of Trump Flying the Poopy plane. That too was an equally useless piece of shit...literally.

Let’s make anyone even thinking of voicing their opinion and anger at the current government think twice! That’s some top to bottom fascism.
Jeff, that photo of you and Claudia made my heart skip a beat. What a beautiful scene of two people who adored each other.
right? It's like he was showing her that he would get down on his knee and propose to her all over again. <3
I wonder how many lost opportunities to find such love have happened since dating someone you work with became taboo and grounds for discipline up to dismissal. :-(

Sadly Fifa “king” is allowing the bloated obstacle of a human being be the one to give the WC trophy to winning athletes😳
In that case I hope it's the Iranian team that wins
Karma is dragging her feet. May Iran soccer team do well!
Wouldn’t that be the best?
Think he'll try to keep it? I do.
Some peon is creating a knockoff version, I hope😳
I am sure he won't hand the trophy to the winner; especially if it is gold! He will keep it for himself and believe that he won it.
He doesn't have the capacity to award anything. He'll probably tie the trophy around his neck and kill him.
I bet he steals it.
If they don't wan that to happen, they gotta make it something other than gold
Hopefully they will greet him with their famous chants against him
😡
Maybe not...
Boston and the Tartan Army (Scottish fans) seem to have got on very well!
Also remember that Donnie Demento is--and always has been--incapable of enjoying such things (which is why he's hellbent on destroying all of it).

Ann: It is indeed uplifting to see the Tartan Army in Boston, then Miami, all the joy, merrymaking & shenanigans! Comments about the US & the hospitality were just joyful…
Soccer is such a fun sport. The camaraderie between teams and countries gives my sad heart a lift
Ted Lasso season 4, featuring a woman's team, will arrive on streaming in early August, soccer fans!
Everything I know about soccer, I learned from watching Ted Lasso. Such a great show!
Just watching the Tartan Army take over Boston, and everyone also doing the Viking Rows, and the Korean-Mexican love flowing here in L.A., really does my heart good!
I agree so so hard! I’m even watching the games so I can see some joy! Never cared about soccer, but I am a big fan of this whole experience! ⚽️👏🏻🥰
Thanks for that!

To anyone not in the cult, it is clear that this lifelong fuckup, this walking embodiment of the Seven Deadly Sins, this sociopathic, predatory, infantile narcissist breaks everything he can get his grubby, short fingered hands on. This is bad beyond belief. To add to the unprecedented destruction of America and the world, the party of predator protectors has completely abrogated their roles to act as the necessary checks and balances on just this type of destructive authoritarianism.

But the problem isn't the BBB. Oh no. The problem is the previous mayor under a different prez who built a new school and improved road safety. How dare that mayor make our schools better!! How dare our roads be safer!! And how dare our muni employees HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE!! OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!! So now the MAGAts have us spending $8k on a recount of the override vote, have sowed rumors that our voting machines are broken and are gearing up to say we have "voter fraud." They are blasting the tired meme of "Lincoln was a Republican" and "Save our Seniors from losing their homes." But will NOT admit, even when presented with legit graphs and charts, that the BBB caused the shitstorm of higher property taxes. As it was designed to do ..
And this, my friends is the real "trickle down economics.". The rot starts as the head, as they say. And it's true. We're smelling it right about now.
"All politics is local." The question is, do the voters place the blame on the right people/party
NYC seems pretty happy with its new mayor.
No doubt about it. They too have created instability. And war crimes
The town is split. While the liberal side lays some blame on the prev mayor there is acknowledgement of the BBB damage. The MAGA lays blame all on the mayor and no acknowledgement of the BBB. There is some sour graping also by a candidate who didn't win their bid for mayor and her sour grape cadre. Small towns, ya know. Where politics can also be personali-tics
Also, Putin and Bibi must go
Goddamn, Doc. Excellent frickin synopsis of his awfulness. And that of his cult. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hopefully this will be the end of the Republican Party. Maybe we can start a new Party of Lincoln. The Republican should go the way of the Federalist party.
They're whigging out!
Did that big, muscly cop have tears in his eyes when he thanked Donny?
And, I'm sure that the cop called TRump "sir" a dozen times... 😉
His wife is made to look the "loser". They are all such misogynistic POS
Let's note the parallel to Demento's own domestic life: Melania is just about to serve him with divorce papers, because he's such a bankrupt moron, in 2016, and then the useless waste of carbon wins the election--beginning a 10-year binge of ripping off the United States. She sticks around, because suddenly her pre-nup is worth more.......and Demento doesn't seem to like her very much.
Right on target,Joyce 🚨🚨🚨
If that even happened.
Never did
See accompanying pie chart
No matter how many times Jeff uses that pie chart, it never fails to bring a much needed smile to my face
That's why I added the wink emoji. 😉
Trump was talking about the cops sweaty junk.
The give away was the use of the word "sir". Anytime the mango mussolini employs someone addressing him as "sir" you know it's unadulterated bullshit. The convolution of his fever dreams and reality is breathtaking.
And as if he has any genuine conversations with working class people??
The people he actually despises.
He screws over working class people!
DAMN IT, I had forgotten all about the Rose Garden, and now I'm pissed off about that again, too.
It's was a nice picture.
It was the nicest part of the White House environment. My mother saw it and loved it.
First of all, today’s Daily Claudia are the best ones yet (if that is possible). I can’t take how adorable she is and the one with her loving husband knocked it out of the park. Dang with huge hearts 💕💞🩷on the side.
Donny Dirtbag is so grotesque and embarrassing he truly leaves me without speech. I am being honest here when I say I don’t understand why he is allowed to continue this dumbfuckery (JT) without consequences. Take the tarp off the Kennedy Center NOW. Stop destroying our house and monuments NOW. Release the Epstein Files NOW. Every single freaking day it is more of his nonsense and zero consequences.
If any of us destroyed the monuments or the White House or if our names were in Epstein Files, our asses would be hauled off and put in jail. But him, nada! In fact his empty skull is probably thinking of his next score.
Damn him and all the voiceless idiots who protect him.
I remember “Donnie Rotten”! Lead singer of the Pedex Pistols, whose greatest hit was “Anarchy in the Pre-K”, right?
I didn’t know the Pedex Pistols.
Hi Sheila. Johnny Rotten was lead singer of a British punk band called the Sex Pistols. Natalia was identifying Donald Trump with that band and lead singer. I liked it and I’m stealing it but I’m modifying it to “Donnie Rotten and the PedoPistols”. (although that’s being unfairly demeaning to the Sex Pistols and for that I apologize.
Yeah, the Sex Pistols stole their band name.
I changed his name to Donny Dirtbag. 🤣
This current maladministration could use +•*PEDEX* as a contraction for *PEDOPHILE SEX*…
Agreed, photos over the top in love and devotion department 🥺
TBF the only thing going right for Donald is destroying the federal work force. If my job were on the line I would probably hug a pillow and keep telling myself to hold it together for another two years.
I should have put (JT) after the word ‘dumbfuckery.’ I borrowed it. 😁 (I fix it)
Thank you Jeff,
I used a term "manufactured exhaustion" in my most recent article "The Architecture of Corruption." The criminal elect and his merry band of corrupt incompetent sociopaths create so much chaos with a firehose of lies, corruption, lawlessness, abuse of power, and failure, even your latest is absent a mention of the Epstein-Trump-Maxwell files. News aggregators over the last several days have not talked about the tarp, the complete failure in Iran, Trump's grifted jet (and its near billion dollar price tag we pay for as taxpayers), and so much more. We are living in the middle of Naomi Klein's "Shock Doctrine."
Corporate consolidation, an inevitable product of American laissez-faire capitalism and avarice, has finally reached the media sphere after previously invading the retail, food production, durable goods, energy and healthcare spaces. So now what we are told is controlled by an unprecedentedly small number of entities. Even more alarming, when the oligarch owners are bending over for the dictator, "encouraged" by the FCC's threats of censorship, the formerly sacrosanct free press, expressly enshrined by the founders in the First Amendment, has gone the way of the dodo. Welcome to the Sovietesque States of What Used to be America.
You’re rampaging today Doc!
Don’t stop- ever! Fuck these toadies!
"... We are living in the middle of Naomi Klein's "Shock Doctrine." Because in chaos THEY CAN STEAL.
So true Mary. Under the cover of chaos -they blatantly steal all they can. Whether it’s the criminal elect and his corrupt family, the insatiable greed of billionaires who want more wealth, or the political party they’ve bought and paid for who want more power -as they steal from the treasury, from democracy, and our future.
They are not even covering it up. As they steal they laugh at us because there is nothing we can do about it.
Exactly right Mr Polisner.
I am glad you brought up driving across the pool with SUV’s. Just one very important cause of damage to the reflecting pool that Trump won’t acknowledge. Or the media!
And thank you for your Claudia pictures. The love you shared is a real reason to smile.
I still don't get that bit of flex. What was the point? Who is impressed? Even his dumb base can't be impressed that he drove over the reflecting pool.
That’s him “personally inspecting” the reflecting pool. Because no way he can waddle that far.
God he's such a dum(b)-ass.
See Jeff, where we have gotten is what I call the Fart of the Squeal. Because that is what it is.
https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-the-art-of-the-deal-is-really-the-fart-of-the-squeal
That is the foreign policy of the United States, typed at the volume of a man losing an argument with a parking meter — all-caps, three exclamation points, signed like a ransom note. It worked exactly as bluster works: Iranian negotiators, meeting U.S. diplomats in Switzerland to finalize a deal, walked out after the tirade. The dealmaker blew his own load on his own deal, with his own thumbs, and he looks like a shit swizzling wank-knocker.
His book was called the Art of the Deal
But the ghostwriter said it tweren't real
Where he truly excels
Between tweeting and yells
Is to whine, cast blame, and squeal
HL2 , you are my hero. :)
Thank you, kind lady, but unfortunately it doesn't have the cachet of the immortal
"Ferris Bueller, you're my hero!"
Yes, Yes and Yes… Doc another insight to bring the light into our darkness… TY😀
"Fart of the squeal" Thank you for that.
Every day, Lauralite. I try my best.
And your best is very, very good.
I prefer “pocket Nazi” for Bovino
From a couple of weeks ago:
Bovino the mini storm trooper
Is a MAGA racist so super
That short Nazi knob
Needs a new job
Make him trump's pooper scooper
😂😂😂👏👏👏
I LOVED “actual bite-size Nazi”! 🤣🤣🤣
Me, too!
And that picture of you and Claudia is amazing!
I prefer sampler-size stormtrooper or perhaps half pint Himmler
Sampler-size 😂
Micro-Nazi works too
Enshittification is how he deals with the USA and the world at large. Everything he touches is enshittified. He has no taste. He is vulgar. And worst of all, he imagines himself the epitome of good taste and class by smearing gold paint on all he surveys. He is the world's biggest joke, parading around in his diaper and his limited grasp of political savvy. And his punctured hands are on the buttons, his cankles on the throttle.
Enshittification. My new favorite word. Thanks. And thanks uncle Jeff for another in a (sadly) long series of excellent posts documenting our national nightmare. Thank you.
It all comes down to his narcissism - on the order of Mr.Everest of Narcissism- the likes we hope never shall we see again. It’s the overriding factor of all his flaws and his cruelty.
The picture of you and Claudia is like peeking into a couple's private life, and realizing how completely they love each other. Beautiful. I feel happy looking at it. Thank you for sharing that.
Right?! We should all have someone who looks at us the way Jeff looks at his Claudia. So beautiful. 💜
I feel the same way about their wedding day photo. Claudia is looking at the camera, absolutely gorgeous, and Jeff is looking at her with an expression that reads “How the fuck did I get to be the luckiest guy in the world?”
Exactly like that. 💜
It being Jeff, I figured I should throw at least one “fuck” in there. 🥰
My thought exactly.
Uncle Jeff, this was an exceptional column!
