we all are in your corner JT......she'd like that you've carried on I'm sure, and as spicy as always.... still haven't gotten over #SundowningGrandpaBeffudlepants ......inspirational
And to think, I felt very safe & secure living in Clearwater, until I realized I'm 20 miles from McDill Air Firce Base where Centcom is located. I wouldn't be surprised if Iran sent a plane loaded with bombs to put it out of business.
Thanks for making us laugh while the world is coming to an end. 🙄
Just got off Malcolm Nance discussing that the response to Trump's threat to Iran was Iran's parliamentary leader that Trump finds so "reasonable" making a veiled threat to have the Houthis close down the other straits where goods are delivered and then really shutting down global trade. Of course the US can always trade with its American continental partners.
Sorry to break the news to you but from the Canadian Arctic Circle to Tierra del Fuego, none of are interested anymore. Working with the US has become the equivalent of bargaining with your sexual abuser. (He is a rapist after all) Only the desperate will be cutting deals. The rest will be politely sitting at the table with smiling faces, and nodding heads, but when they get back home, working alternate plans.
I LOVE this! Thank you so much for excluding the Felon-In-Chief of the US. He's abominable. At best.
We are working hard to get him out. Then the sane 75% of our country will spend the next 50 years trying to create a functional nation of the 21st century, instead of being dragged back into the 19th, or the 18th. Or maybe the 16th.
Off topic, but I once went to a dinner (on a train) at the Playboy club. Two bunnies greeted us. The first one was a Trump-type, dipped, and said, "I'm Bunny Brandy. The second one was an older matronly looking woman who just stood there and said dryly, sardonically, "And I'm Bunny Mary." I was so tickled and have never forgotten it. Maybe you had to be there.
There used to be a Playboy casino in Atlantic City. The mom of one of my classmate's was the "Bunny Mother." Or "Mother Bunny." One of the Philly papers had an interview with her, and she mentioned how her 14 year old daughter wanted to be a bunny. She handled the heckling well. 14 year olds, you know? Brutal age.
Ha ha! My mother was horrified that I received so many Easter baskets that year. She took a picture of them lined up according to size—how I wish I could find that picture. I gave a lot of the candy away to neighborhood friends, but I did keep a few of the hollow bunnies. And the Peeps.
For those who think this is not the time for levity, I agree with you. But it is the only way I know of to keep from jumping off a cliff. Thank you, Chris, for taking a moment to smile.
trump is missing in action because they're pumping him up with more drugs. It takes alot to keep that big pile of shit on his feet and trying to read his lines.
Spring is a season of Earth's re-birth. I hope she heals from the damage being done.
I bought a new to me car a few weeks ago and was so excited that when I got home, I wanted to call my Dad. He's been gone since December 2024. The ones you love, never truly leave you. 🥰
I do talk to my parents. Especially as I'm cleaning out the house I grew up in. They were hoarders and we have to go through EVERYTHING. I've found money and photos in magazines. It's tiring because it's pretty much just me and my son on weekends. It's an hour away so winter is out unless the weather is mild. I need to get rid of it this year. It's killing me.
I can relate. I'd traveled to visit my friend, and we'd gone on an adventure one afternoon, ending up in a little gift shop. I spotted an exquisite glass rose, and I said to my friend, "I'm going to get this for Mom. She'll love it." It was when my friend gave me a very odd look that I remembered that Mom had been gone for ten years. Maybe my mind wandered away because I was in unfamiliar surroundings? That was a surreal moment!
Oh, I DO know. Years after my 'daddy, my little daddy' had left us, I still introduced him to the new kittens or cats, deciding which ones he'd naturally love the most (he tried to hide it from my mother because of her cruelty) but was so much a cat lover. One of my cats was 'Smokey' whom my Dad nick-named 'Smokey-Joe' which stuck. I had wanted to bring Dad to live here just for him to finally be happy- to breathe and spend time with my cats and maybe putter in the garden IF he chose, but karma had other plans. He's been gone since The Fall of 1987 and I still talk to and miss him deeply. Fwiw, I could immediately 'see' that rose and imagine it on a beautiful glass shelf in front of a photo of your Mom.
Your father sounds like a wonderful person. I'll bet he and my mom would have been kindred spirits. Whereas my dad sounds a lot like your mom. My dad passed in December of 1987, with Mom having preceded him by 5 months.
It tickles me to think of you introducing your dad to your furbabies. They may very well have "known" him.
And yes, I did buy the rose, and it IS sitting on a glass shelf, along with other beloved treasures from our travels.
Did I tell you that I'm just a wee bit psychic? ;) Sometimes 'know' things I couldn't possibly? This is one of them - as soon as I read your post, there it was, that beautiful glass rose, sitting on a glass shelf. 'I' added the photo of your Mom because that seemed logical (and I have a wee corner of a shelf dedicated to my soul dog Kaya with a few bits and pieces about her, including 2 photos). It seems also a wee bit MORE than coincidinky that they all passed in 1987? My Dad was doing ok except he needed BP meds which my mother refused to pick up for him at the drugstore (too far away to walk, and she was the sole driver 'IF he wants them he can walk there himself') Another example of her constant cruelty. It was HER house (despite being paid for by years of HIS retirement as well). Go figure. She would go off with her best friend to buy dolls (I kid you not) leaving Dad a list of chores to be accomplished by her return. This in the oppressive Florida heat, and mostly outdoors, smdh. WHEN he was found lying on the couch - alone and already passed by her friend upon their return, SHE didn't call me, no - she made her friend do those 'honours'. That poor woman, nervous as a cat - calling to let me know my Dad was dead. In my grief, rage and absolute fury I asked her why my mother couldn't call me...she tried to come up with a lie about my mother being 'too upset' all while I could hear my mother's voice (normal as always, not a hint of tears or grief) telling her what to say to me! Fucking coward. A few days prior to this I'd told her I'd be happy to have Dad live with me after she'd boasted in her inimitable fashion that she would 'put him on the street', also refusing to hand the phone to him - which she always answered. IF he answered it - he HAD to hand it to her - or she yanked it out of his hands, another infuriating frustration which I couldn't get past. He'd shrug off the abuse, pretending all was well when we knew it wasn't. My siblings didn't care but I was willing to go get him while they didn't want any part of that. I never got to speak to him again and still replay the whole scenario over and over. He died not knowing I wanted him here. IF I'd known he was alone for even a day I could have called to let him know - how much we cared and were coming to get him. He shouldn't have been outside digging in the hot sun with insufficient hydration. He died alone and in pain without his necessary meds. He tried so hard to mollify her but nothing was ever sufficient. Narcissists are deeply resentful when others get the attention they feel THEY 'deserve' and so pile on the abuse. She was so rotten and abusive to me and my Dad yet couldn't stand that I wanted to have him live with me. EVERYTHING she was, frump is. Those of us who know, know. WE didn't have the funds to fly down there so would have had to drive to get him and his belongings if we'd had a clue time was running out right then. I'd been preparing a room for him with happy thoughts about having him here with my cats but still thought there was more than enough time, much to my infinite regret. :'( PS: I wish he could have met your Mom too. There were so many times I wish I could introduce him to nice older women I knew who'd treat him decently. I had no compunctions about that at all.
My first thought is that your dad IS there, where you are. I have no doubt of it.
And I will say that as cruel and vicious as my dad could be, your mom sounds even worse. I'm sorry you had to live through that. On the other hand, your experience made you a very strong person, so although that's a hard way to build strength, you got something positive out of it. A couple months ago, I read an article that speculated that we choose to incarnate into paths that involve dysfunctional relationships, for the very reason that we want to address issues such as a need for more strength. Or compassion, or other qualities. It makes sense to me.
As I was due to graduate high school and start out on my own, I tried to get my mom to come with me. I said I'd get an apartment, and we'd live together. She refused, saying she didn't want to be a burden, and I couldn't shake her of that idea. Had I been older, with more perspective, I might have found a way to convince her. As it was, her NOT moving in with me changed the entire trajectory of my life. So I guess things happen the way they're supposed to.
Your psychic abilities are a comfort, aren't they? The women on both sides of my family were all psychic, and although my ability isn't that great, I do sometimes "know" things, to my satisfaction. 😉
My dad is gone 38 years (died suddenly) and there are times I still want to pick up the phone and call. My mom is 54 years. I didn't know how I would make it a day without her. It just went so fast.
Doesn’t Donny ALWAYS do something bone-crushingly stupid? Thank you for the laughs, as always, Jeff. Ms. Spouse was a gem. And even though I’m an agnostic I do believe she’s still with you in spirit.
Agree with this, Joanne. I'm not at ALL religious, but it doesn't mean that 'something' might not come after - which has zero to do with religious beliefs. I too feel that those we love are still around us - perhaps there's a transition period until we all get used to the process and they just might stay to help us manage the pain of their loss?
Cool! I am atheistic as you put it, so I say happy celebration to all. Today is Digital Independence Day in Germany. The first Sunday of the Month we are supposed to get off of Big Tech gathering data on us, to the best of our ability. I am Amazon free as I write this. Substack is going to remain in my repertoire for the time being. We will be playing Scrabble later. The German version. Our English one is in the US. The German one does not have as good a collection of letters as the English one, but hopefully we will all learn to be good at it too.
She is the Germanic reflex of a Proto-Indo-European name for one of the deities of the four cardinal points, for the east, sunrise, and springtime, known as Eos in Greek and Ushas in Sanskrit, Italic form Ausosa becoming Aurora in Latin, related to Orient / origin "rising"; in Celtic the name was replaced by Morgana (cognate of "morning"; possibly a "taboo substitution" if the true name was considered too holy to say), hence Morgan le Fay in Arthurian lore; in Slavic there is no such deity but the root appears in vostok "east".
The opposite is the deity of the west, sundown, and autumn, called Zephyr and considered masculine in Greek but Sif the harvest goddess (and wife of Thor) in Germanic; Savhir in Celtic hence the festival of Savhain (spelled with an "mh" in Irish because their use of letters is weird but not pronounced with an m sound) better known to us as Halloween; Sepharad "western regions" in Iranian became a Jewish term Sephardim for that part of the diaspora that went all the way to Spain before being expelled from there; Slavic zapad "west".
God of the north, midwinter, and midnight was Buri in Germanic (created out of ice in the beginning of days, father of Odin), Boreas the north wind in Greek, Buriyash a major storm god among the western Iranians called Mitanni in the most ancient days (Midianites, Medes are later forms of the name). God of the south, midsummer, and noon was Surt in Germanic (Surtheim was the fiery hell as opposed to the icy Helheim; the fire demons will be among those killing the Aesir in the end times), S'urya in Sanskrit and Shuriyash in the Mitanni; with cognates sur / sud / south in Romance and Germanic languages.
Thank you for all this info, Robert. Yes, Samhain is pronounced "SOW-en" by we pagans who practice Celtic ways. And the holiday represents the beginning of the new year according to Northern Hemisphere seasons.
Usually in Irish spelling a letter followed by h is a sound that occurred in older pronunciation but has become silent, but here as far as can be linguistically reconstructed, there never was an m sound: it was a v sound at the most or a w sound as in recent usage.
Love your vast knowledge, Robert! Strange indeed are the ways of old languages, compared with modern usages. I have an Irish friend who sends me all kinds of rituals, with their Gaelic spellings and pronunciations. It's all fascinating.
Wow, Robert! I was addicted to the Roman, Greek and Egyptian myths and fables during a few of my adolescent years (who needed AI?) but have long since forgotten most of them. I have ZERO knowledge of the Germanic and other names you've mentioned, though. Verrrry interesting.
I left out Sirius, a Greek name, for Orion's dog who became the Dog Star, thought to be related to the Surya root, because anciently it was sometimes visible in the daytime in the summer months and was thought to add its heat to the Sun.
this was supposed to be a much shorter post, and then I go not-twitter to take a screen shot of Hugo Lowell's tweet and I see everyone there talking about Donny's post from an hour ago ... jeesus, there's no way I couldn't include it
The MDs must have allowed him to tinker with the NWS, because today’s forecast was written in Sharpie and reads “CLOUDY in America, with a 200%, 600%, 1300% chance of REIGN! Thank you for your attention to this fourcast.”
See? He STILL has being a fucking KING on his feeble mush-for-brains. How does ANYONE not know the difference between rain and reign? I noticed it in at least 3 of his fuckity-stupid lying posts about Iran and at first thougt it was a typo. No. He doesn't know the fucking difference!
Cheung! I wrote the same above. I don't know anything about Susie Wiles, but she is undergoing cancer treatment, and I would hope especially during this, she wouldn't lower herself to writing ugly things.. Doubt Bannon has access to his social media but one never knows.
Usually the ones.that are long, fairly cogent, not riddled with spelling errors, maybe throwing a capital letter here and there are Stephen Miller.
I cannot believe I have been reduced to parsing these vile tweets to try and determine authorship, but I do. And the one that I know was 1000% him was when he wrote he was glad Bob Mueller was dead. To bad he won't be alive to see the world dance in the streets when he drops dead.
But the writer is just as ignorant using “reign” instead of “rain.” And Jeff, you’re the only one so far to mention it. You just “scratched my itch” on that one. Thank you!!
Thank you Patricia. I've been admonished on Substack for leaving out a comma in a comment, and I am getting older and not as sharp as I used to be, I admit. That's why I rhink Donnie may have written that one. He's also famous for "stollen"... as in election 🤗
Whenever I see posts like that, I think it's Stephen "Oddjob" Cheung. There was a tweet that used the work "suck" a few days ago that I was sure Cheung wrote.too. He is a nasty motherfucker. (And there were two apostrophes that I noticed in the one today because my punctuation is no better so I notice these things). I think there are certain "tells" when it's not Dozy Demento..certain words he doesn't use. I don't even think it's Stephen Miller. The "Allah" part was reprehensible which makes me think SC. The first one where he wrote reign instead of rain sounds like the real creature especially since that batshit crazy Paula Cain has been filling his head with speaking in tongues and his evocation of G-d.
They put him in charge of some gov't website (I don't remember) but it's one where people could ask a question and he answered the person that they or the question was stupid. I hope there is an exposé written someday about him.
His aides Dan Scavino and Natalie Harp type Trump's unhinged dictation into his social media posts. Scavino is his political advisor and former golf club manager, handling all personnel issues. Harp is a 33-year old Trump-love struck Christian zealot who handles all print media communications to and from Shitler. Corporate news scribblers pay nearly zero attention to them.
I don't think it's them. Those two have Trump's style down. But they also have personal loyalty to Trump, so they'd be kept in the dark if he were in a coma somewhere.
I’m surprised we haven’t seen a tweet featuring Nero in a superhero suit rescuing the missing pilot. Who the fuck are the 33% who still think this is OK?
I feel your pain Sharon. My son, whom I love to death, has also bought into the lies and disinformation. When I back him into a corner he pulls out the Trump derangement syndrome thing and then I know he’s got nothin and the discussion/argument is over. I wish I had a pair of Roddy Piper’s special sunglasses that I could put on him. I’ve basically been doing that by sharing facts and truth but, as it turns out, facts and truth were invented by “Fake News” according to him and all the other cult devotees.
If anyone finds a way to have the cult followers put on the glasses to see the truth, please contact me asap.
Wow, insert! Thanks for passing that along! That’s an incredible phrase whether you thought of it yourself or are just passing it along! I appreciate it!
And who would have thought that come Easter, we'd all be rooting for Pope Leo against a fascist, sadistic US government? How does Heir Trump think Iran, with no civil infrastructure will "open" the straight? Oh yeah..he doesn't think....ever.
Good stuff today, Jeff. I agree, there's no way he wrote that. And "Praise be to Allah"?? Do these idiots know how powerful these words are? Both of those profane posts scream of Pete. He's piss-drunk on power. FFS, the guy has an American flag with an AR tattooed on his body; he's living his best life right now. (Fun fact: He also has "We the People" in ink. I'm surprised he doesn't have Calvin pissing on that one.)
Whoever wrote that better hope he/she is never captured by the Iranians because they will be hanging by a crane. I didn't think Pete would have control of his social media..
That last post is really disturbing, and no, I don't think it was Trump that wrote it either, my bet would be Pete, it sounds like him. And that is worrisome. The US has entered the "terrorist state" category, and I mean we are one. Hitting civilian targets to influence political decisions IS the definition of terrorism.
He is a fucking danger to himself and the world. I am sure he is half, or all the way in the bag most of the time. Remember how his wife in the begining was coming to work with him to keep him from screwing up? Now he knows he can do what he wants because nobody is watching, and by that I mean the Anus Hole and the entire cabinet are way past the Twlight Zone. We need to eliminate them by whatever means possible, and soon.
There was speculation yesterday that T might be in Walter Reed, as Air space had been closed down. Wouldn't that be wonderful. He has been shutting down for years, now,it's so darn evident.
Too much God content for Needy Amin. Kegsbreath is at the controls and Donny is in a coma in the White House, because they know by now that people are watching Walter Reed.
I think he just likes to disappear himself every now and then just to make us wonder. And hope. And pray. That's pray with and A. Not an E. I saw something in the Guardian about him taking full responsibility for the rescue of that airman. Yup, you worthless piece of cow dung. Right out there in the middle of the mountains saving the world.
Happy holiday to everyone and special thoughts to you, Jeff, as you face another day without your beloved wife. A lot of us out here have been through it and, although we can't know exactly how you feel, we can certainly relate.
“Collapsing from exhaustion…so maybe “heart attack”?
Possible heart attack, or slip and fall, or lightning strike. This is looking better and better. I can call and get him a tee time if people are too busy. It’s the least I could do.
We all were. Chin up Paula. There’s still hope. Maybe we can convince some of our religious brethren to pray for it. If they’re successful I vow to give this religious thing another look; Although, they’ve got an unfair advantage because Trump already has one foot in it with the second one on the way; but, maybe they could give him a little push. Offer still stands.
Nora, after you said that I too could hear Michael Caine’s voice saying that. Maybe it was in a movie we both watched. I don’t know much about him but I love him as an actor. PLEASE don’t tell me he’s a pedophile, racist or misogynist! It will be like finding out Kevin Spacey and Sean Connery were dicks. I can’t take another one.
What’s that? Trump “playing”/cheating at golf on Easter Sunday?
God’s own avatar on Earth not at church on Easter Sunday? Is he afraid of getting struck by lightning? Or perhaps a chasm opening up and pulling him down to the bowels of the Earth?
Where is the serial divorcee, grifting head of the Office of Faith? Isn’t she supposed to guide this nation and its Dear Leader to the next Messianic Age?
Well, this has to be another lie. If by golfing you mean, rolled around his fucking golf course in a cart--"over here is where you'd customarily hit a 3, so we'll just put that on the card" "gnarrspphh SPLAT!"
There is no reliable, independently verified evidence that “30 generals refused Trump’s orders”; the claim appears to originate from a single partisan or low-veracity outlet and remains uncorroborated by mainstream reporting or official military statements [1]. Publicly available analysis of military law and precedent shows senior officers are legally bound to obey only lawful orders and historically are loath to publicly refuse presidential directives, making mass, documented refusals of the kind described unlikely without clear, confirmable sources [2] [3].
Before I wrote that yesterday, Google AI quoted the term “30.” Today it says that “30-40” was the term bandied about on social media and the figure 12-15 is now cited by Google as having resigned or removed, including Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Brown and Army COS Gen. George.
Hegseth is fighting alcoholism and a holy war. His vision of the rapture where Christians are suddenly taken to heaven is from the 1800’s while Iran and the Persian Empire has been around for thousands of years. Yup, we lose. Not even fucking close.
Piss Drunk Pete is on a mission from God. He probably fantasizes he's in Richard the Lionheart's army of soldiers on a religious crusade during the middle ages. Where's Joliet Jake when you need him.
No kidding Clint. Can we give them some giant balloons or something to help them with their great escape
P.S. Absolutely love your name. Wish I had it. Loved Clint Walker if you’re told enough to know who he was. He was one of my heroes (even though all I knew of him was his acting roles).
Wow Mike. Thank you for relaying that! I thought the rapture thing was in the original bibles but it was just an add on control mechanism. You’d think they already had enough control mechanisms in the bible; but, alas, I guess there’s never enough mechanisms when comes to controlling others.
Oh, it got WAY worse than that. So bad that Jake Tapper had to say "fuckin'" on national television, but didn't proceed to run off to write a book about Dear Leader's "decline."
Jake Tapper is a damn good journalist. The fact that he wrote a book about Biden's decline does not make him the enemy. (And I think Biden was a good president.)
Sorry, the fact that he spent time and energy providing ammo against Biden when he could have exposed far more damning things about Trump makes him the enemy, for me. YMMV.
He wrote the book (with his co-author) after the fact. It was legitimate journalism. Don't be like Trump and declare everything you don't like "fake news." He exposes the reality of the Trump maladministration every day on CNN. He was the one who conducted the interview with Stephen Miller where Miller went full on fascist on live TV.
"After the fact" doesn't matter. It was damaging to the Dems when he could have used his platform to expose a truly evil, demented person instead. How you have decided that I, a person you do not know, declares everything I don't like "fake news" is beyond me. Jake, is that you? lol
He is using his platform on CNN to do that. He doesn't need your permission to decide what books to write. The end of the Biden administration was absolutely a legitmate news story. And as for your Trump-like response to Tapper, I go by what you post.
As with all of the mainstream journalists, it's not just what they say. It's as much about what they don't say, and who they don't say it about, and when they don't say it. The criticism for Tapper is well-deserved.
No, Daniel, I’m not disputing that. I also saw a video short a few months ago where he expressed his concerns about trump. He’s not a piece of shit. But he has a massive audience, and the book about Biden was atrocious for its timing, and for the lack of extremely pertinent reporting on trump related to the same topic. He did some damage.
No, it's not the journalist's job to worry about "timing." I think Biden was a great president. But he screwed up at the end by running for re-election when he clearly wasn't up for it, and that paved the way for Trump. Writing a book about what happened was absolutely legitimate, and he was not obligated to wait a few years because of some theoretical damage. The people to blame here is Biden and those who allowed him to continue his re-election bid, not the people who reported on it.
The consultant-handlers' heavy influence on the Democratic Party has cost us many an election. It was dangerously dishonest of them to cover up Biden's illness with the foolish notion that managing him could be sustained through a second presidential term. Yes, we all know Trump sucks by magnitudes but Tapper at least risked revealing the full truth.
So Trump’s running through the deities, offering praise while promising destruction. Who’s next? Odin? Jahweh? Baal? He better keep his hands off Hathor, the Egyptian goddess of women and cows, my perennial candidate for Wisconsin’s personal protector.
I laughed all my way through the episode when Hathor is "killed".
At her temple in Egypt, women who cannot have children still scrape out bits of mud from one of the walls as a charm, hoping Hathor will help them have a baby. I have that fascinating knowledge from a woman Egyptologist who talked to the guard at the temple site.
I'm not one to spread rumors (ha-ha! as if) but Preznit is neither in the West Wing nor the golf course and the roads around Walter Reed were closed for hours. I wonder what the Easter Bunny put in our casket - uh, I mean basket.
Jeff, reading Donald’s Easter greetings this morning… all warm and fuzzy from a guy who was praised the other day being compared to Jesus by Mullah Paula White, a speaker in tongues, a grifter and getting taxpayer $ and an office in the WH. I’ve said this previously…..
“And now he is gone, Lord he’s gone, He’s gone, like that old steam locomotive rolling in down the track.. he’s gone, gone, gone and nothing is going to bring him back….. He’s gone” R. Hunter&J Garcia… Best all who celebrate this Easter holiday.
Funny u should mention that.. My small group has joined a larger group..it’s about 24 guys now.. no political talk during the round, but after? This crew doesn’t eat lunch they drink.. I usually take off after the money is awarded..I don’t drink for medical reasons and I do not care to be around drunk MAGAs. My other golf group of “no MAGAs allowed” is disbanding for the summer… I live in an area where a number of folks are snowbirds, our development clears out close to 50%..
Somewhere on Substack, someone was suggesting the "DT Death Day" playlist. The first music I'll play will be on my car horn to alert the neighborhood, but there were all sorts of good suggestions, "At Last" by Etta James, "Goldfinger," "Here Comes the Sun," "No One Mourns the Wicked," "Fuck You" by Ceelo, "Requiem pour un con" by Serge Gainsborough. For some reason I think "All Night Long" by Lionel Ritchie and "Celebrate" by Kool and the Gang would be part of the mix...
Wow did America's Pilonidal Cyst sure have a gusher! Good thing for him he isn't a Democrat...consequences would happen to him! I guess his cultists love this post from him (that Blotto von Bismarck wrote surely for him.)
Cant decide if I want him to die right now, or have him removed from office and tossed in prison. His post this morning is out of control. The country is out of control.
Someone suggested if he dies, we cant get the billions he's stolen which I suggest be used to repair the damage he's done. So I agree...now would be great.
Sharks. Definitely sharks. The scene from Jaws the novel, where the shark surfaces with Hooper in its mouth and Brody ends up just shooting Hooper in the neck.
I want to be Brody. While singing 🎶farewell and adieu to my fair fascist Hades...🎶
Impeachment, trial, conviction, and jail is the preferred path. I understand that will make him a martyr to MAGA, but they are a minority and can not control this narrative.
100% He needs to live long enough for all that. But right now, I wish the GOP would grow a pair and enact the 25th...because the felon is off his rocker.
I sometimes make that mistake and when I catch it I immediately correct it if I can. I know the difference, but sometimes what I type and what I THOUGHT I typed are not the same thing.
Its and it's. And I find that simply being exposed to the growing piss poor grammer of online illiterates is causing me to sometimes make the same mistakes! Gah!
She certainly does, dear Wendy! Today’s gift is the blooming wild cacti in the wilderness behind my home, here in the high desert of SoCal. Those vivid pops of magenta in the green and brown landscape make my heart sing! Hugs to you! 💖
Why, our roses are putting on a show that belies how little they cost, and the nicotania is up as is the wisteria, and the orchid cactus is preparing a series of magnificent blooms. Takes my mind off of shit, it does.
The daffodils are out here in western NY, and it's going to snow in the next couple of days. The daffs won't care, they're used to enduring and bouncing back. We need to be like the daffodils.
it was Ms. Spouse who clued me in to Ēostre. I miss her so much
Ms. Spouse is smiling down on you Jeff, so proud of your skills in making us laugh in the midst of our crying.
we all are in your corner JT......she'd like that you've carried on I'm sure, and as spicy as always.... still haven't gotten over #SundowningGrandpaBeffudlepants ......inspirational
And to think, I felt very safe & secure living in Clearwater, until I realized I'm 20 miles from McDill Air Firce Base where Centcom is located. I wouldn't be surprised if Iran sent a plane loaded with bombs to put it out of business.
Thanks for making us laugh while the world is coming to an end. 🙄
Trump is crazy, and Jeff is NOT. Happy Easter to all!
Just got off Malcolm Nance discussing that the response to Trump's threat to Iran was Iran's parliamentary leader that Trump finds so "reasonable" making a veiled threat to have the Houthis close down the other straits where goods are delivered and then really shutting down global trade. Of course the US can always trade with its American continental partners.
Trump will extend his ultimatum for another ten days, I’m keeping an eye on Trump Jr’s betting site at Polymarket Linda… enjoy your day!
Sorry to break the news to you but from the Canadian Arctic Circle to Tierra del Fuego, none of are interested anymore.

We are working hard to get him out. Then the sane 75% of our country will spend the next 50 years trying to create a functional nation of the 21st century, instead of being dragged back into the 19th, or the 18th. Or maybe the 16th.
HAHAHA!!🎵🎵
I'm an Easter Bunny person myself. I have the rotten teeth to show for it too!
One year I racked up 13 Easter baskets. I had a few doting "bunny aunts" and I don't mean Playboy.
Off topic, but I once went to a dinner (on a train) at the Playboy club. Two bunnies greeted us. The first one was a Trump-type, dipped, and said, "I'm Bunny Brandy. The second one was an older matronly looking woman who just stood there and said dryly, sardonically, "And I'm Bunny Mary." I was so tickled and have never forgotten it. Maybe you had to be there.
There used to be a Playboy casino in Atlantic City. The mom of one of my classmate's was the "Bunny Mother." Or "Mother Bunny." One of the Philly papers had an interview with her, and she mentioned how her 14 year old daughter wanted to be a bunny. She handled the heckling well. 14 year olds, you know? Brutal age.
I'd be up for weeks and a nervous wreck as a kid if I ate that much candy. As it was I drove my parents nuts when I wasn't on a sugar high.
Ha ha! My mother was horrified that I received so many Easter baskets that year. She took a picture of them lined up according to size—how I wish I could find that picture. I gave a lot of the candy away to neighborhood friends, but I did keep a few of the hollow bunnies. And the Peeps.
So, here is an important question... who eats the ears first??
I would think the ears are first to go Mary.
They were on mine 😊
For those who think this is not the time for levity, I agree with you. But it is the only way I know of to keep from jumping off a cliff. Thank you, Chris, for taking a moment to smile.
I miss her FOR you.
This! I miss hearing her desert-dry humor through these posts. I cannot fathom the loss, Jeff.
As part of the Fuckery Patrol…I look forward to your next Fuckery Post!
I thank Mrs. Spouse. This is first mention of Eostre I’ve seen outside of my pagan world.
I miss Mrs. Spouse, too. Sending love and comfort your way 🕯️🙏🏻
She lives in everything you do. I'm glad.
My forever nickname for hegseth is now SPANKY.
trump is missing in action because they're pumping him up with more drugs. It takes alot to keep that big pile of shit on his feet and trying to read his lines.
Spring is a season of Earth's re-birth. I hope she heals from the damage being done.
I believe Kegseth would be extremely.....ummm.......excited to be Spanky.
Nooooo, you mustn't dirty the memory of George McFarland. How about we just call him by the real bully's name: BUTCH.
Butch McTrumpsBitch.
Rolls off the tongue quite nicely, eh?
⬆️🎯👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Eww!
😂
Hmmm!
I bought a new to me car a few weeks ago and was so excited that when I got home, I wanted to call my Dad. He's been gone since December 2024. The ones you love, never truly leave you. 🥰
I understand. After a bit more than two years, I no longer think "wait 'til I tell him this". I do sometimes this "He would have loved this".
I do talk to my parents. Especially as I'm cleaning out the house I grew up in. They were hoarders and we have to go through EVERYTHING. I've found money and photos in magazines. It's tiring because it's pretty much just me and my son on weekends. It's an hour away so winter is out unless the weather is mild. I need to get rid of it this year. It's killing me.
I can relate. I'd traveled to visit my friend, and we'd gone on an adventure one afternoon, ending up in a little gift shop. I spotted an exquisite glass rose, and I said to my friend, "I'm going to get this for Mom. She'll love it." It was when my friend gave me a very odd look that I remembered that Mom had been gone for ten years. Maybe my mind wandered away because I was in unfamiliar surroundings? That was a surreal moment!
Oh, I DO know. Years after my 'daddy, my little daddy' had left us, I still introduced him to the new kittens or cats, deciding which ones he'd naturally love the most (he tried to hide it from my mother because of her cruelty) but was so much a cat lover. One of my cats was 'Smokey' whom my Dad nick-named 'Smokey-Joe' which stuck. I had wanted to bring Dad to live here just for him to finally be happy- to breathe and spend time with my cats and maybe putter in the garden IF he chose, but karma had other plans. He's been gone since The Fall of 1987 and I still talk to and miss him deeply. Fwiw, I could immediately 'see' that rose and imagine it on a beautiful glass shelf in front of a photo of your Mom.
Your father sounds like a wonderful person. I'll bet he and my mom would have been kindred spirits. Whereas my dad sounds a lot like your mom. My dad passed in December of 1987, with Mom having preceded him by 5 months.
It tickles me to think of you introducing your dad to your furbabies. They may very well have "known" him.
And yes, I did buy the rose, and it IS sitting on a glass shelf, along with other beloved treasures from our travels.
Did I tell you that I'm just a wee bit psychic? ;) Sometimes 'know' things I couldn't possibly? This is one of them - as soon as I read your post, there it was, that beautiful glass rose, sitting on a glass shelf. 'I' added the photo of your Mom because that seemed logical (and I have a wee corner of a shelf dedicated to my soul dog Kaya with a few bits and pieces about her, including 2 photos). It seems also a wee bit MORE than coincidinky that they all passed in 1987? My Dad was doing ok except he needed BP meds which my mother refused to pick up for him at the drugstore (too far away to walk, and she was the sole driver 'IF he wants them he can walk there himself') Another example of her constant cruelty. It was HER house (despite being paid for by years of HIS retirement as well). Go figure. She would go off with her best friend to buy dolls (I kid you not) leaving Dad a list of chores to be accomplished by her return. This in the oppressive Florida heat, and mostly outdoors, smdh. WHEN he was found lying on the couch - alone and already passed by her friend upon their return, SHE didn't call me, no - she made her friend do those 'honours'. That poor woman, nervous as a cat - calling to let me know my Dad was dead. In my grief, rage and absolute fury I asked her why my mother couldn't call me...she tried to come up with a lie about my mother being 'too upset' all while I could hear my mother's voice (normal as always, not a hint of tears or grief) telling her what to say to me! Fucking coward. A few days prior to this I'd told her I'd be happy to have Dad live with me after she'd boasted in her inimitable fashion that she would 'put him on the street', also refusing to hand the phone to him - which she always answered. IF he answered it - he HAD to hand it to her - or she yanked it out of his hands, another infuriating frustration which I couldn't get past. He'd shrug off the abuse, pretending all was well when we knew it wasn't. My siblings didn't care but I was willing to go get him while they didn't want any part of that. I never got to speak to him again and still replay the whole scenario over and over. He died not knowing I wanted him here. IF I'd known he was alone for even a day I could have called to let him know - how much we cared and were coming to get him. He shouldn't have been outside digging in the hot sun with insufficient hydration. He died alone and in pain without his necessary meds. He tried so hard to mollify her but nothing was ever sufficient. Narcissists are deeply resentful when others get the attention they feel THEY 'deserve' and so pile on the abuse. She was so rotten and abusive to me and my Dad yet couldn't stand that I wanted to have him live with me. EVERYTHING she was, frump is. Those of us who know, know. WE didn't have the funds to fly down there so would have had to drive to get him and his belongings if we'd had a clue time was running out right then. I'd been preparing a room for him with happy thoughts about having him here with my cats but still thought there was more than enough time, much to my infinite regret. :'( PS: I wish he could have met your Mom too. There were so many times I wish I could introduce him to nice older women I knew who'd treat him decently. I had no compunctions about that at all.
My first thought is that your dad IS there, where you are. I have no doubt of it.
And I will say that as cruel and vicious as my dad could be, your mom sounds even worse. I'm sorry you had to live through that. On the other hand, your experience made you a very strong person, so although that's a hard way to build strength, you got something positive out of it. A couple months ago, I read an article that speculated that we choose to incarnate into paths that involve dysfunctional relationships, for the very reason that we want to address issues such as a need for more strength. Or compassion, or other qualities. It makes sense to me.
As I was due to graduate high school and start out on my own, I tried to get my mom to come with me. I said I'd get an apartment, and we'd live together. She refused, saying she didn't want to be a burden, and I couldn't shake her of that idea. Had I been older, with more perspective, I might have found a way to convince her. As it was, her NOT moving in with me changed the entire trajectory of my life. So I guess things happen the way they're supposed to.
Your psychic abilities are a comfort, aren't they? The women on both sides of my family were all psychic, and although my ability isn't that great, I do sometimes "know" things, to my satisfaction. 😉
Oh my heart 😥
My dad is gone 38 years (died suddenly) and there are times I still want to pick up the phone and call. My mom is 54 years. I didn't know how I would make it a day without her. It just went so fast.
🎯💓⬆️
Doesn’t Donny ALWAYS do something bone-crushingly stupid? Thank you for the laughs, as always, Jeff. Ms. Spouse was a gem. And even though I’m an agnostic I do believe she’s still with you in spirit.
Agree with this, Joanne. I'm not at ALL religious, but it doesn't mean that 'something' might not come after - which has zero to do with religious beliefs. I too feel that those we love are still around us - perhaps there's a transition period until we all get used to the process and they just might stay to help us manage the pain of their loss?
Cool! I am atheistic as you put it, so I say happy celebration to all. Today is Digital Independence Day in Germany. The first Sunday of the Month we are supposed to get off of Big Tech gathering data on us, to the best of our ability. I am Amazon free as I write this. Substack is going to remain in my repertoire for the time being. We will be playing Scrabble later. The German version. Our English one is in the US. The German one does not have as good a collection of letters as the English one, but hopefully we will all learn to be good at it too.
The German language features some really long words. It would be fun to see a German game of Scrabble.
Do you get to draw more tiles?
You would think so. We need to look it up.
She is the Germanic reflex of a Proto-Indo-European name for one of the deities of the four cardinal points, for the east, sunrise, and springtime, known as Eos in Greek and Ushas in Sanskrit, Italic form Ausosa becoming Aurora in Latin, related to Orient / origin "rising"; in Celtic the name was replaced by Morgana (cognate of "morning"; possibly a "taboo substitution" if the true name was considered too holy to say), hence Morgan le Fay in Arthurian lore; in Slavic there is no such deity but the root appears in vostok "east".
The opposite is the deity of the west, sundown, and autumn, called Zephyr and considered masculine in Greek but Sif the harvest goddess (and wife of Thor) in Germanic; Savhir in Celtic hence the festival of Savhain (spelled with an "mh" in Irish because their use of letters is weird but not pronounced with an m sound) better known to us as Halloween; Sepharad "western regions" in Iranian became a Jewish term Sephardim for that part of the diaspora that went all the way to Spain before being expelled from there; Slavic zapad "west".
God of the north, midwinter, and midnight was Buri in Germanic (created out of ice in the beginning of days, father of Odin), Boreas the north wind in Greek, Buriyash a major storm god among the western Iranians called Mitanni in the most ancient days (Midianites, Medes are later forms of the name). God of the south, midsummer, and noon was Surt in Germanic (Surtheim was the fiery hell as opposed to the icy Helheim; the fire demons will be among those killing the Aesir in the end times), S'urya in Sanskrit and Shuriyash in the Mitanni; with cognates sur / sud / south in Romance and Germanic languages.
Thank you for all this info, Robert. Yes, Samhain is pronounced "SOW-en" by we pagans who practice Celtic ways. And the holiday represents the beginning of the new year according to Northern Hemisphere seasons.
Usually in Irish spelling a letter followed by h is a sound that occurred in older pronunciation but has become silent, but here as far as can be linguistically reconstructed, there never was an m sound: it was a v sound at the most or a w sound as in recent usage.
Love your vast knowledge, Robert! Strange indeed are the ways of old languages, compared with modern usages. I have an Irish friend who sends me all kinds of rituals, with their Gaelic spellings and pronunciations. It's all fascinating.
Wow, Robert! I was addicted to the Roman, Greek and Egyptian myths and fables during a few of my adolescent years (who needed AI?) but have long since forgotten most of them. I have ZERO knowledge of the Germanic and other names you've mentioned, though. Verrrry interesting.
I left out Sirius, a Greek name, for Orion's dog who became the Dog Star, thought to be related to the Surya root, because anciently it was sometimes visible in the daytime in the summer months and was thought to add its heat to the Sun.
❤️😢❤️😢❤️
😢
❤️🩹🫶🏻
You’ve just passed on her knowledge. Thank you, Mrs Spouse. ❤️
FWIW, as much as is possible which is totes not at all comparable, we miss her too, Uncle Jeff. 🫂
Happy 4th day of no wheat, rye, barley, oats, or spelt. And dammit I really miss my fuckin' spelt, man.
I miss her with you, Jeff 💔
this was supposed to be a much shorter post, and then I go not-twitter to take a screen shot of Hugo Lowell's tweet and I see everyone there talking about Donny's post from an hour ago ... jeesus, there's no way I couldn't include it
No way he wrote that. The caps lock wasn’t on AND there was punctuation.
really, the proper use of an apostrophe is the dead giveaway that Donny didn't write it
The MDs must have allowed him to tinker with the NWS, because today’s forecast was written in Sharpie and reads “CLOUDY in America, with a 200%, 600%, 1300% chance of REIGN! Thank you for your attention to this fourcast.”
See? He STILL has being a fucking KING on his feeble mush-for-brains. How does ANYONE not know the difference between rain and reign? I noticed it in at least 3 of his fuckity-stupid lying posts about Iran and at first thougt it was a typo. No. He doesn't know the fucking difference!
Dead giveaway, says the old English teacher who knows he's a grade 2 level at best!
I bet he thought he was being extra smart using the 'reign' spelling because rain is just, you know, rain.
And I’m betting that at this point, even that is a push.
That points to Smiller. PD Pete wouldn’t bother with an ‘ when there’s a chest to be beaten.
Much love to Jeff, who helps keep us sane, and to all the readers.
I'm thinking that Susie Viles may have written the pseudo tRump posts.
And strait was correctly spelled.
Steven Cheung or Stephen Nosferatu? Steve Bannon?
(when did Steves get so evil?)
Wouldn't it be spectacular if the author were Susie Wiles?
Cheung! I wrote the same above. I don't know anything about Susie Wiles, but she is undergoing cancer treatment, and I would hope especially during this, she wouldn't lower herself to writing ugly things.. Doubt Bannon has access to his social media but one never knows.
Usually the ones.that are long, fairly cogent, not riddled with spelling errors, maybe throwing a capital letter here and there are Stephen Miller.
I cannot believe I have been reduced to parsing these vile tweets to try and determine authorship, but I do. And the one that I know was 1000% him was when he wrote he was glad Bob Mueller was dead. To bad he won't be alive to see the world dance in the streets when he drops dead.
🤣
By coincidence, I'm currently reading Ian Randal Strock's "Punctilious Punctuation."
https://ianrandalstrock.com/books/
Their’s no way Donny could of written it. Its just impossible to imagine.
But he could have dictated it to someone to post for him.
But the writer is just as ignorant using “reign” instead of “rain.” And Jeff, you’re the only one so far to mention it. You just “scratched my itch” on that one. Thank you!!
Unfortunately spellcheck can't pick up a real word. I've made mistakes like that sometimes myself I'm embarrassed to say.
Had you made the error, it would have been nothing - with respect. But it’s THIS crew. Obviously they don’t know enough to at least edit then.
Thank you Patricia. I've been admonished on Substack for leaving out a comma in a comment, and I am getting older and not as sharp as I used to be, I admit. That's why I rhink Donnie may have written that one. He's also famous for "stollen"... as in election 🤗
But WTF did? What incompetent and sadistic asshole has taken over the shit posting? This whole thing becomes more dangerous by the day.
Whenever I see posts like that, I think it's Stephen "Oddjob" Cheung. There was a tweet that used the work "suck" a few days ago that I was sure Cheung wrote.too. He is a nasty motherfucker. (And there were two apostrophes that I noticed in the one today because my punctuation is no better so I notice these things). I think there are certain "tells" when it's not Dozy Demento..certain words he doesn't use. I don't even think it's Stephen Miller. The "Allah" part was reprehensible which makes me think SC. The first one where he wrote reign instead of rain sounds like the real creature especially since that batshit crazy Paula Cain has been filling his head with speaking in tongues and his evocation of G-d.
You could be right. Cheung is low key by Trump WH standards.
They put him in charge of some gov't website (I don't remember) but it's one where people could ask a question and he answered the person that they or the question was stupid. I hope there is an exposé written someday about him.
Jeff, is it true that the missing pilot was found as trump claimed last night? I read that somewhere, can't remember now where.
Thanks!
Yep, thank goodness.
Thank you! I figured it was just another lie. I don't believe anything trump says.
The apostrophe is definitely a signal of another cretin involved.
A somewhat literate one…who knew there were such cretins?!
His aides Dan Scavino and Natalie Harp type Trump's unhinged dictation into his social media posts. Scavino is his political advisor and former golf club manager, handling all personnel issues. Harp is a 33-year old Trump-love struck Christian zealot who handles all print media communications to and from Shitler. Corporate news scribblers pay nearly zero attention to them.
I don't think it's them. Those two have Trump's style down. But they also have personal loyalty to Trump, so they'd be kept in the dark if he were in a coma somewhere.
It's gotta be Hegseth or Miller.
It was Hegseth. He wants a ground war so bad.
I’m surprised we haven’t seen a tweet featuring Nero in a superhero suit rescuing the missing pilot. Who the fuck are the 33% who still think this is OK?
My idiot sister and sister-in-law are among the cult.
I feel your pain Sharon. My son, whom I love to death, has also bought into the lies and disinformation. When I back him into a corner he pulls out the Trump derangement syndrome thing and then I know he’s got nothin and the discussion/argument is over. I wish I had a pair of Roddy Piper’s special sunglasses that I could put on him. I’ve basically been doing that by sharing facts and truth but, as it turns out, facts and truth were invented by “Fake News” according to him and all the other cult devotees.
If anyone finds a way to have the cult followers put on the glasses to see the truth, please contact me asap.
Sadly, they are impervious to facts
As the saying goes, you can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into in the first place.
Wow, insert! Thanks for passing that along! That’s an incredible phrase whether you thought of it yourself or are just passing it along! I appreciate it!
So true Troll. Trumpers and facts are like oil and water
And my Trumpy relative.
Exactly WHO are they??
And who would have thought that come Easter, we'd all be rooting for Pope Leo against a fascist, sadistic US government? How does Heir Trump think Iran, with no civil infrastructure will "open" the straight? Oh yeah..he doesn't think....ever.
Good stuff today, Jeff. I agree, there's no way he wrote that. And "Praise be to Allah"?? Do these idiots know how powerful these words are? Both of those profane posts scream of Pete. He's piss-drunk on power. FFS, the guy has an American flag with an AR tattooed on his body; he's living his best life right now. (Fun fact: He also has "We the People" in ink. I'm surprised he doesn't have Calvin pissing on that one.)
Whoever wrote that better hope he/she is never captured by the Iranians because they will be hanging by a crane. I didn't think Pete would have control of his social media..
It is terrifying. Is our world about to be blown up by a madman and his cabal? When will we know?
When do we stop the madman and his Cabal?
After the 18th hole Arnie…you know that. Of course the world could end before he’s finished the 18th hole…oh dear
That last post is really disturbing, and no, I don't think it was Trump that wrote it either, my bet would be Pete, it sounds like him. And that is worrisome. The US has entered the "terrorist state" category, and I mean we are one. Hitting civilian targets to influence political decisions IS the definition of terrorism.
Just remember where to lay the blame because of their recklessness when the violence reaches our shores.
Don’t think it isn’t coming
I love your handle!
Agree!
As if we're subjecting Iran to 9/11s every day.
He is a fucking danger to himself and the world. I am sure he is half, or all the way in the bag most of the time. Remember how his wife in the begining was coming to work with him to keep him from screwing up? Now he knows he can do what he wants because nobody is watching, and by that I mean the Anus Hole and the entire cabinet are way past the Twlight Zone. We need to eliminate them by whatever means possible, and soon.
There was speculation yesterday that T might be in Walter Reed, as Air space had been closed down. Wouldn't that be wonderful. He has been shutting down for years, now,it's so darn evident.
Come on Ronald McDonald or the Colonel and finish the job
As I read somewhere: “I’m so worried he’s ok”.
Too much God content for Needy Amin. Kegsbreath is at the controls and Donny is in a coma in the White House, because they know by now that people are watching Walter Reed.
Hey, happy Good Friday. You know, the one where jesus was crucified?! Such a happy day for christians 🙄😵💫
You got Lizz’s post yay!
praise the lord, it has been reported that Donny is golfing this morning —
https://x.com/svdate/status/2040795530062651765
Of course he is. He’s not running the country, he’s ruining the country.
So he is risen? Bummer. He wasn't actually spotted, so I hold out hope.
Me too Ann. Me too
Damn. I was feeling so hopeful that he'd had another stroke.
I think he just likes to disappear himself every now and then just to make us wonder. And hope. And pray. That's pray with and A. Not an E. I saw something in the Guardian about him taking full responsibility for the rescue of that airman. Yup, you worthless piece of cow dung. Right out there in the middle of the mountains saving the world.
Happy holiday to everyone and special thoughts to you, Jeff, as you face another day without your beloved wife. A lot of us out here have been through it and, although we can't know exactly how you feel, we can certainly relate.
It's apparently raining at the golf club where his motorcade pulled up. So no way is he going to risk getting that fine gold on his head wet.
Maybe he’ll slip. They played golf in the rain in Caddyshack and except for the lightning it went pretty good. Hmmm, lightning…
Hmmm. Ya, he should definitely play.
But a 3 day absence is just the beginning- he will collapse with exhaustion after riding around in his golf cart.
“Collapsing from exhaustion…so maybe “heart attack”?
Possible heart attack, or slip and fall, or lightning strike. This is looking better and better. I can call and get him a tee time if people are too busy. It’s the least I could do.
True
We all were. Chin up Paula. There’s still hope. Maybe we can convince some of our religious brethren to pray for it. If they’re successful I vow to give this religious thing another look; Although, they’ve got an unfair advantage because Trump already has one foot in it with the second one on the way; but, maybe they could give him a little push. Offer still stands.
In my head, I read your "Chin up Paula" , as if Michael Caine's voice was saying it.
Nora, after you said that I too could hear Michael Caine’s voice saying that. Maybe it was in a movie we both watched. I don’t know much about him but I love him as an actor. PLEASE don’t tell me he’s a pedophile, racist or misogynist! It will be like finding out Kevin Spacey and Sean Connery were dicks. I can’t take another one.
No, Michael Caine is a a good guy. He's lived a clean, good life and is a great actor. I enjoy everything he does.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
So, not dead then? Damn!
But the autopen is pushing the bombing button, so no worries!
All it says is that the motorcade arrived. Hopefully to extend their condolences to Melanoma.
I call her Malaria
😆
Right. I guess it was just an over-nighter at Walter Reed for an oil change...
Another infusion of his "Keep Me Alive" pick-me-up juice.
and some fillers injections plus more Hair Club for Men glue-on hair.
It didn't happen! Fake news! And if he went in, it was just for a standard MRI and "spot the camel" test. Perfectly normal!
What’s that? Trump “playing”/cheating at golf on Easter Sunday?
God’s own avatar on Earth not at church on Easter Sunday? Is he afraid of getting struck by lightning? Or perhaps a chasm opening up and pulling him down to the bowels of the Earth?
Where is the serial divorcee, grifting head of the Office of Faith? Isn’t she supposed to guide this nation and its Dear Leader to the next Messianic Age?
That porky, fragile twit would NEVER golf in the rain! What the hell is he doing there? He doesn't drink even!
Walt Nauta on a trip to excavate some of the hidden files from Ivana‘s resting place. You know his master doesn’t come out in the rain.
Nah, no confirmed sighting. Just the motorcade.
He's totally in a coma and Hegseth and Miller are pulling an Al Haig. Does JD know?
Of course he doesn’t. He’s almost persona non grata.
Trump couldn’t see him in the audience the other day,even though he was right in front of him
"no POTUS sighting": maybe an effort to create a false impression he is golfing this morning
I was afraid he was ok😭
Well, this has to be another lie. If by golfing you mean, rolled around his fucking golf course in a cart--"over here is where you'd customarily hit a 3, so we'll just put that on the card" "gnarrspphh SPLAT!"
Well, that's disappointing.
He wasn’t seen by any reporters though.
He continues to regenerate like an otherworldly demon.
More than a dozen generals have refused
Orders from that evil, demented, confused
Shambling Constitutional crisis
Causing death for his own devices
America has never been so abused
What's your source? I'd love to see more on that!
Googled it.
I did.
Its not true
Executive summary
There is no reliable, independently verified evidence that “30 generals refused Trump’s orders”; the claim appears to originate from a single partisan or low-veracity outlet and remains uncorroborated by mainstream reporting or official military statements [1]. Publicly available analysis of military law and precedent shows senior officers are legally bound to obey only lawful orders and historically are loath to publicly refuse presidential directives, making mass, documented refusals of the kind described unlikely without clear, confirmable sources [2] [3].
Before I wrote that yesterday, Google AI quoted the term “30.” Today it says that “30-40” was the term bandied about on social media and the figure 12-15 is now cited by Google as having resigned or removed, including Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Brown and Army COS Gen. George.
Check, check, check and check. I think you’ve covered all the bases Doc. Well done!
Hegseth is fighting alcoholism and a holy war. His vision of the rapture where Christians are suddenly taken to heaven is from the 1800’s while Iran and the Persian Empire has been around for thousands of years. Yup, we lose. Not even fucking close.
Only instead of 72 virgins, he dreams of 72 gin and tonics.
Good one! For Christofascist Hegseth, it's gin and tonics and 72 experienced prostitutes, the hell with virgins
72 virgins were an Epstein-Maxwell thing.
And to hell with the tonic water. Straight up elixir of juniper berries.
Steve, you’re a practical man. I like it!
😂
Well, I for one would like to see it happen ASAP so those of us left can move forward as a nation
Piss Drunk Pete is on a mission from God. He probably fantasizes he's in Richard the Lionheart's army of soldiers on a religious crusade during the middle ages. Where's Joliet Jake when you need him.
RAMMING SPEED!
The sooner that crowd is raptured off my planet the better.
No kidding Clint. Can we give them some giant balloons or something to help them with their great escape
P.S. Absolutely love your name. Wish I had it. Loved Clint Walker if you’re told enough to know who he was. He was one of my heroes (even though all I knew of him was his acting roles).
Wow Mike. Thank you for relaying that! I thought the rapture thing was in the original bibles but it was just an add on control mechanism. You’d think they already had enough control mechanisms in the bible; but, alas, I guess there’s never enough mechanisms when comes to controlling others.
Of course the relentless liar
Claims Iran begs for a cease fire
He will not confess
That he created this mess
He’s the shittiest anti-DEI hire
GOLDEN!!!
Yikes!! A great poem!!!
One of your best Doc!
If only it wasn’t necessary
You are hotter than hot today 👏🏼
Oh, it got WAY worse than that. So bad that Jake Tapper had to say "fuckin'" on national television, but didn't proceed to run off to write a book about Dear Leader's "decline."
Jake Tapper is a damn good journalist. The fact that he wrote a book about Biden's decline does not make him the enemy. (And I think Biden was a good president.)
Sorry, the fact that he spent time and energy providing ammo against Biden when he could have exposed far more damning things about Trump makes him the enemy, for me. YMMV.
He wrote the book (with his co-author) after the fact. It was legitimate journalism. Don't be like Trump and declare everything you don't like "fake news." He exposes the reality of the Trump maladministration every day on CNN. He was the one who conducted the interview with Stephen Miller where Miller went full on fascist on live TV.
"After the fact" doesn't matter. It was damaging to the Dems when he could have used his platform to expose a truly evil, demented person instead. How you have decided that I, a person you do not know, declares everything I don't like "fake news" is beyond me. Jake, is that you? lol
He is using his platform on CNN to do that. He doesn't need your permission to decide what books to write. The end of the Biden administration was absolutely a legitmate news story. And as for your Trump-like response to Tapper, I go by what you post.
LOL ok, dude. I guess you consider it your duty to correct my clearly incorrect opinion. That's ok, we deal with this shit our entire lives.
And we don't need your permission to decide what choices of his we despise.
As with all of the mainstream journalists, it's not just what they say. It's as much about what they don't say, and who they don't say it about, and when they don't say it. The criticism for Tapper is well-deserved.
No, it is not. He very much covers and exposes what's going on in the Trump maladministration on CNN.
No, Daniel, I’m not disputing that. I also saw a video short a few months ago where he expressed his concerns about trump. He’s not a piece of shit. But he has a massive audience, and the book about Biden was atrocious for its timing, and for the lack of extremely pertinent reporting on trump related to the same topic. He did some damage.
No, it's not the journalist's job to worry about "timing." I think Biden was a great president. But he screwed up at the end by running for re-election when he clearly wasn't up for it, and that paved the way for Trump. Writing a book about what happened was absolutely legitimate, and he was not obligated to wait a few years because of some theoretical damage. The people to blame here is Biden and those who allowed him to continue his re-election bid, not the people who reported on it.
The consultant-handlers' heavy influence on the Democratic Party has cost us many an election. It was dangerously dishonest of them to cover up Biden's illness with the foolish notion that managing him could be sustained through a second presidential term. Yes, we all know Trump sucks by magnitudes but Tapper at least risked revealing the full truth.
He’s a smarmy sellout.
Who is selling out to? This is a classic case of blaming the messenger.
So Trump’s running through the deities, offering praise while promising destruction. Who’s next? Odin? Jahweh? Baal? He better keep his hands off Hathor, the Egyptian goddess of women and cows, my perennial candidate for Wisconsin’s personal protector.
Ha! Hathor - I thought SG1 killed her! :-)
Real Goddesses and Gods are immortal.
I laughed all my way through the episode when Hathor is "killed".
At her temple in Egypt, women who cannot have children still scrape out bits of mud from one of the walls as a charm, hoping Hathor will help them have a baby. I have that fascinating knowledge from a woman Egyptologist who talked to the guard at the temple site.
Women and cows?? That's one demanding gig!
Odin is Mike Johnson's patron saint.
An “anus mouth” over a vagina neck. He’s morphing into one of those pussies he likes to grab.
That makes his chin a taint
🤣🤣🤣
Doc, you’re killin’ me this morning!!! (I know how to use the apostrophe.)
Gross!!! 😜
😂😂😂
I'm not one to spread rumors (ha-ha! as if) but Preznit is neither in the West Wing nor the golf course and the roads around Walter Reed were closed for hours. I wonder what the Easter Bunny put in our casket - uh, I mean basket.
Pesky autocorrect!
😂
Be still my beating heart 💓 please be right
Also the Air Space!!
Jeff, reading Donald’s Easter greetings this morning… all warm and fuzzy from a guy who was praised the other day being compared to Jesus by Mullah Paula White, a speaker in tongues, a grifter and getting taxpayer $ and an office in the WH. I’ve said this previously…..
“And now he is gone, Lord he’s gone, He’s gone, like that old steam locomotive rolling in down the track.. he’s gone, gone, gone and nothing is going to bring him back….. He’s gone” R. Hunter&J Garcia… Best all who celebrate this Easter holiday.
I truly despise Paula White
I reserve for her my unbridled spite
She’s a charlatan fake
Trying so hard to make
All the blood money in sight
Hey Doc.. you’re prose nailed it as usual.. Happy Easter
You too, Fredo. You playing golf with your fake Xtian MAGA turds?
Funny u should mention that.. My small group has joined a larger group..it’s about 24 guys now.. no political talk during the round, but after? This crew doesn’t eat lunch they drink.. I usually take off after the money is awarded..I don’t drink for medical reasons and I do not care to be around drunk MAGAs. My other golf group of “no MAGAs allowed” is disbanding for the summer… I live in an area where a number of folks are snowbirds, our development clears out close to 50%..
They prob all in Church praying to their one God- DONALD DOOFUS DRUMPF
Somewhere on Substack, someone was suggesting the "DT Death Day" playlist. The first music I'll play will be on my car horn to alert the neighborhood, but there were all sorts of good suggestions, "At Last" by Etta James, "Goldfinger," "Here Comes the Sun," "No One Mourns the Wicked," "Fuck You" by Ceelo, "Requiem pour un con" by Serge Gainsborough. For some reason I think "All Night Long" by Lionel Ritchie and "Celebrate" by Kool and the Gang would be part of the mix...
Celebrate and Gone at Last are my picks! Thanks for the great suggestions!!
Maybe someone will write new lyrics for Fuck You and re-record it
"Swan Lake" is the traditional
Great list
Wow did America's Pilonidal Cyst sure have a gusher! Good thing for him he isn't a Democrat...consequences would happen to him! I guess his cultists love this post from him (that Blotto von Bismarck wrote surely for him.)
"Blotto von Bismarck"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
America's Pilonidal Cyst! 😂
Damn! “Good thing for him he isn't a Democrat...consequences would happen to him!” That’s BRILLIANT! So so good. So so good. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Cant decide if I want him to die right now, or have him removed from office and tossed in prison. His post this morning is out of control. The country is out of control.
Congress? Anyone? HELP!
I don't want an easy way out for him... the 25th , then a massive stroke. He can hear everything but cannot respond in any way. The chef's kiss 💋.
👏👏👏👏👏
I say we end it now. We can do the necessary clean-up afterwards.
Someone suggested if he dies, we cant get the billions he's stolen which I suggest be used to repair the damage he's done. So I agree...now would be great.
I doubt that we will ever see those billions again.
Swing him by the rope - in front of the SCOTUS -
Then put him in a large Hefty Bag and toss him into a landfill.
Ik,R? Electrocution, or sharks?
Sharks. Definitely sharks. The scene from Jaws the novel, where the shark surfaces with Hooper in its mouth and Brody ends up just shooting Hooper in the neck.
I want to be Brody. While singing 🎶farewell and adieu to my fair fascist Hades...🎶
All of the above. HA!
The Hague - then the noose. With his bros, Putin and Bebe!!!
I really want to see him face prosecution... I agree
There’s a hilarious meme where sailors are tossing Drumpf overboard into the ocean. Hilarious!
it’s on substack
The Hague, with Jack Smith presiding.
How about a messy crushing trial, prison in Gen-Pop and THEN some type of incident with a bed sheet?
I like the way you think.
I would have preferred that he be imprisoned four years ago, but it is too late now. We need him dead as soon as possible.
A quiet death in his sleep is too good for him.
Impeachment, trial, conviction, and jail is the preferred path. I understand that will make him a martyr to MAGA, but they are a minority and can not control this narrative.
100% He needs to live long enough for all that. But right now, I wish the GOP would grow a pair and enact the 25th...because the felon is off his rocker.
Yes, he is truly insane now.
When is Preznit Fuckwit NOT about to do something really bone-crushingly stupid?
The number of people who mix up "rain," "rein," and "reign" is truly appalling.
Also you're and your. That's extremely irritating .
I sometimes make that mistake and when I catch it I immediately correct it if I can. I know the difference, but sometimes what I type and what I THOUGHT I typed are not the same thing.
Its and it's. And I find that simply being exposed to the growing piss poor grammer of online illiterates is causing me to sometimes make the same mistakes! Gah!
😆
See?? Right there: "grammer"? WTF, Ink? Hey, at least I used the correct "there". 🤓
🤣 I didn't even notice!!!
Because he’s dying Jeff
Happy late Ostara Jeff

Happy belated Ostara, Wendy! May your heart bloom like spring flowers, and your spirit dance with the hares. 🐇🌷
Punkette , the mother always gives every season :)
Here in Atlanta , my azaleas and dogwoods are bracting crazily
The blessing of the Mother Earth awakening from her slumber
Upper New York--crocus and snowdrops blooming! Daffodils and hyacinths on the way! After the well deserved rest of winter.....
She certainly does, dear Wendy! Today’s gift is the blooming wild cacti in the wilderness behind my home, here in the high desert of SoCal. Those vivid pops of magenta in the green and brown landscape make my heart sing! Hugs to you! 💖
Why, our roses are putting on a show that belies how little they cost, and the nicotania is up as is the wisteria, and the orchid cactus is preparing a series of magnificent blooms. Takes my mind off of shit, it does.
Richard, how lovely! Enjoy the show. Flowers truly do soothe the soul. And I can smell your nicotiana from here!
The daffodils are out here in western NY, and it's going to snow in the next couple of days. The daffs won't care, they're used to enduring and bouncing back. We need to be like the daffodils.
How beautiful, Ginny! My mum grows daffodils too (in Virginia) and they truly do herald spring and Eastertime. Stay warm!
Lord, hear our prayer.
