Funny thing is, I don't think Pelly even mentioned trump by name. Even the simpleminded cult knew who the speech was aimed at. A sure sign of the truth being spoken.

Jeff Tiedrich's avatar

I didn't listen to Pelly's entire speech, but I don't think Donny got mentioned by name

Stephen Brady's avatar

I get up every morning and look for the headline: 'He's Dead!'

Joanne Filipo's avatar

Every day during his first term, and every day since…😡

Hollie Rood's avatar

Yup. Me too. Every time I get an alert from the national news, I jump over going “please🙏please🙏, please 🙏” Actually I know each morning we’re not so lucky b4 checking bc one of my daughters gets up wicked early and first thing she does is check the news. She’d be calling me no matter how early so there’s that😜🤞

Joanne Filipo's avatar

So, I’ll give you my number. When your daughter calls you, I’m next! 🤣

Lady Emsworth's avatar

Honey, you won't need it! The sound of cheering will let you know what's going on!

Hollie Rood's avatar

I’m imagining cheering so loud it’ll be like an earthquake 🤭

Merc's avatar

Fireworks will wake everyone up

Cheryl Seybert's avatar

And after Hollie calls you can you call me??😂😂😂

Jodi Richard's avatar

Every single day since before the first term. Every “Breaking News” alert on my phone is always a tiny moment of hope.

Itsy Bitsy Spider's avatar

I was sorta hoping for it when he showed up in Home Alone…

Betsy L's avatar

Me too. And then I get to reading whatever awful thing he twatted while sitting on the toilet in the middle of the night, and my day's gone.

Connie Hillyer's avatar

I’m wearing my IS HE DEAD YET? t-shirt right now. Unfortunately, the answer is still no.

Chris Duncan's avatar

Oh man where can I get one?

Connie Hillyer's avatar

On Etsy. There are a lot of sellers with anti-trump shirts.

Deborah Hunter's avatar

I do too. First thing I look at my phone hoping my place of employment imploded so I don't have to go to work. After that brief moment of disappointment that it's still standing, I check for headlines to see if the Jesus bus came for our Dear Leader. Negative on that score too, so my day starts off with 2 major disappointments.

Eileen's avatar

Jesus bus? Ahh, no. Satan would send an orc equivalent from Hell to tie Trumps ankles to a tractor and drag his carcass over ever shard of broken glass and dog shit all the way down to eternal misery.

Lady Emsworth's avatar

And that's all it'll need to say. We'll all know exactly who they mean - and what will have woken us up is the sound of dancing and cars honking in the streets. . .

Eileen's avatar

Oh, Stephen, I can't wait for some useless reporter looking for the Voice of the MAGA in a some classic Trumplandia diner outpost and accidentally put the mic in front of one of us on live TV. Cause the first thing I would say is, "Everyone, and I mean everyone on the planet with an ounce of sense wants Trump to just up and die already. He is by far the most loathed, most disgusting, vile and appalling creature of the 21st century. But here's the thing. The only people worse then Trump in character are his enablers. They made him, let him break everything, and sit there trembling, doing nothing to stop him while lying about it all. The only suckers and losers in America are the current inhabitants of the Republican Party. Now that you have the truth, I'll get back to eating my hot dish."

Bill Corbett's avatar

Everyone looks for that headline, every day!

Doreen Garza's avatar

Every damn morning waiting for that headline!

Terri Nighswonger's avatar

Oh you read my mind!!! Yes!!!🙌

Denise Donaldson's avatar

The only reason I read "breaking news" alerts is in case it's his death notice.

Margo W's avatar

Let’s just say that Disneyland won’t be closing to mark that day.

Stephen Brady's avatar

I would bet their bookings are down substantially. I’ll never set foot in the place again.

Linda Weide's avatar

Apparently he is dead to Canada, and Canada is dead to him. According to Dean Blundell, Trump has blocked King Charles speech to the Canadian Parliament. While Dean likes to speak in hyperbole, it still seems like understated King Charles made a point.

James Starr's avatar

Me, too. Otherwise a riff through the headlines and online trades, including this one.

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

Exactly, there was no name mention, everyone knew the 78 year old drug addled transnational criminal, rapist and felon was the wastrel he was talking about Mark!!

Lady Emsworth's avatar

Patrick - I'm sure you meant "transactional" not "transnational" - no other nation would have him!

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

Trump is undoubtedly a player in the transnational criminal syndicate Lady!!

Mary Greenwald's avatar

At least CBS got rid of Pelley on the nightly news so he would not be spewing these TRUTHS!!!

Cat Cafe's avatar

Oh, fantastic point, Mark. Exactly.

William Burke's avatar

I don’t think the majority of Maga people would give a shit about Pelly’s speech unless they were dosed with psilocybin beforehand.

Alison Parker's avatar

I know this is trite at this point but even still IMAGINE IF A FUCKING DEMOCRAT HAD POSTED ANYTHING EVEN SLIGHTLY SIMILAR TO THIS the GOP would have them drawn and quartered on live TV within the hour.

Dina's avatar

I've often wondered what would happen if a Democrat "stole" one of trump's forgotten batshit crazy tweets/"truths" (there have been so, so many), just to see the Republican meltdown about someone so completely unhinged and hateful to America—then, said Democrat waits until every RWNJ has voiced their disgust and says, "Surprise! I didn't write that!" and show exactly where and when King Turd wrote it.

BluDotInARedSewer's avatar

Yup. All they’d have to do is turn off the caps lock and the dimwits would be none the wiser. 😂 I wonder who will have the balls to do it though.

Chris Hierholzer's avatar

Al Franken could have pulled it off.

Itsy Bitsy Spider's avatar

I loved Al Franken. I left the Democratic Party for what they, Schumer, Gillibrand, etc., did to him. Al Franken was the reason we got a Special Council (even though he did no good) over the Trump Russia connection. Ahh, those innocent days…

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

Al is a great guy and was an excellent Senator!!

Eileen's avatar

About a year after those idiot Democrats took the thinly veiled bait and shunned Al, I got a call from a person fundraising for Gillibrand. I said,"Oh, no honey. Gillibrand will never get a dime from me for what she did to Senator Franken." Then I hung up.

To think the Democrats couldn't figure out how to call bullshit over a dumb photograph when Trump was raping 15 year olds with Epstein and 20-odd women had come forward with credible accusations of assault. Pathetic.

Irascible Ink's avatar

I've actually used this technique on occasion. The side-eye "watchu talkin' bout Willis" response is a glory to behold.

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

Right on Alison, how much longer can this dross remain in office, before the 25th ends his insanity?

Chris Hierholzer's avatar

Are you talking about Kegsmiths 25th beer?

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

Keg stand passed his 25th beer long before he appeared at Arlington Chris!!

SethTriggs's avatar

There wouldn't be a word in edgewise in the White House Briefing Room.

Jeanne Leduc's avatar

The thing is, they KNOW a democrat would NEVER do this.

Cheryl Seybert's avatar

In a heart beat you can bet on it!😡🤬

Chris Craddock's avatar

I voted for the black girl, so I'm already a disgusting left wing crazy according to Captain Bone Spurs, .... but jeeez, I knew he would be bad, I knew they really would do project 2025, I just had no idea how utterly batshit crazy it would get so fast. Or how much damage he could do to the country.

We have always believed "the constitution <blah> <blah>" but it's obvious the founders had absolutely no idea that we would elect a president and congress that would straight up fucking ignore it.

If the framers of the Constitution had encountered anything remotely like Drag-the-Diaper and his ass wipers back then they would have shuffled them off to a rubber room and fed them gruel for the rest of their miserable lives. Today, we don't appear to have the cajones to get that accomplished.

Deb (WATDmedia)'s avatar

Of course we can't get it done. Republicans, the party dominated by the white male, sold off their balls a long time ago. Little do they realize just how much Diaper Daddy's policies will greatly affect them and their families. I don't think they realize they are not immune.

Terri Nighswonger's avatar

Replying to repugs are not immune ….. THEY ARE SO COMPLETELY STUPID they don’t connect the dots, DON’t KNOW ANYTHING

If I ask any of them a plausible question, all I get is a blank stare.

So, does that mean, I don’t know, what u talking about, or I am thinking about my grocery list?

Susan Burgess's avatar

They had two choices of which side to pick. The side of human dignity in a sharing world, and the side of power and money hoarding to stomp on human dignity in that sharing world. In their weakness they felt safer choosing the power and money hoarding. They look away as if they didn't hear, or stare blankly when the children go hungry, women die during childbirth, regular people are snatched off the street and taken to a concentration camp in a far away country where their hair is shaved off. All of this caused by lies made to sound true. To weak, fearful people the lies DO sound true but they backed the wrong horse because what they condone will soon happen to them in one form or another. They dont understand how that works. If they change their minds we will welcome them to the fight -- not blame them.

Lisa K. Obrien's avatar

Nope. I’m going to blame them. And their children will loathe them for ruining their country.

Susan Burgess's avatar

Have you never made a terrible mistake in a weak moment, maybe with your family and friends urging you on in support of that mistake?

Betsy L's avatar

They made the mistake of assuming that only intelligent, competent, moral people (read: men) would run for president.

Chris Craddock's avatar

well yeah, that. And don't forget white men. But also, there's that pesky separation of powers thing? Bone Spurs doesn't have constitutional power to do ANY of the things he has been doing. That's up to the congress ... oh wait. Never mind.

We are SO fucked.

Betsy L's avatar

It sounds, though, as if the suit being brought by NPR and PBS and some affiliates directly challenges the admin on the grounds that those funds were appropriated by Congress and so the president can't cancel them. If that's the case, then maybe there's a glimmer of light in the darkness.

Chris Craddock's avatar

That one has already been tried in court actions over DOGGIE. Lower courts said fuck off donnie, you don't have the stones for that. So donnie and his henchpeople just ignored the courts.

Chris Craddock's avatar

I thought the courts were supposed to have the final say ...

Oh. Wait. The repugnicans bought them already.

Betsy L's avatar

Yeah. If that little paragraph about how appropriated funds shall not be used to bring contempt charges remains in the big bad bill, we're even more screwed.

Junk Dipshit's suit is the wrong shade of blue (gasp!!!!) and Petie Wetie's shoes are brown.....where are the fashion police??????????????????

Jeff Tiedrich's avatar

my father was in the clothing business (imagine, a Jew from the Bronx, born in the 1920s, working in the garment industry) and he would definitely have had something unkind to say about brown shoes with a blue suit

Mary Ballard's avatar

It's so sad that we are reduced to conversations like this since there's absolutely nothing nice to talk about for a period of time longer than 3 minutes. But, this administration has helped me sharpen my snark skills!

BluDotInARedSewer's avatar

And did you see that weird pink tie he wore the other day? Totally random. And ugly AF.

Mary Hall's avatar

It clashed bigly with that stupid fkin' red MAGAt hat.

arne link's avatar

Maybe his valet hates him? I certainly hope so.

Betsy L's avatar

It was crooked, too. Listed way over to post.

Betsy L's avatar

That was supposed to be "listed way over to port."

Betsy L's avatar

And even then I got it wrong. It was over to his right, so it was starboard. Oh, god, I can't even get a metaphor right.

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

Brown shoes with a blue suit is always the tell of a classless wastrel Jeff, I’ve always recognized the low class idiot,is the guy wearing such an atrocious combination!!

Gina's avatar

I thot brown shoes with blue or black suit was de rigeur these days

Marcie's avatar

But brown nose goes with everything in the Republican lexicon. Except Ron Johnson? How am I supposed to make that make sense?

Denise Donaldson's avatar

Interesting you'd say that, Gina. I see the brown shoe thing all the time these days. Thought it was just a trend and I was woefully behind the times.

Gina's avatar

It always catches my eye - not a good combo. But on the subject of shoes, our former prime minister, Justin Trudeau, who used to get criticized for interesting socks, just attended the highly formal speech-from-the-throne, delivered by the actual king, and wore proper suit with turquoise and yellow sneakers. The conservative crowd are Shocked & Appalled.

Denise Donaldson's avatar

That tickles me, about Trudeau's sneakers. Delightful! Wonder if His Majesty was amused...?

Gina's avatar

majesties are known for not being amused (otherwise……mirrors eek)

Dr J's Sanity Space's avatar

Gina: you are right! I see so so many so-called fashionable men doing that. I think it had come, but I don’t think it has gone.

Susan Burgess's avatar

its a trend that came and went

Doreen Garza's avatar

Absolutely! I would as well…that’s a no no.

Sharon Hudnall's avatar

Who helped Snitler pick out the hot pink tie to wear to the West Point graduation ceremony? Is he going color blind as well as insane?

Michael Rawlins's avatar

This is the reality of what Trump and his Magats are:

I think Trump and his Magats like to think of themselves as the Ronald Regan stereo type cowboys, strong, confident, self sufficient and independent, tough men.

In reality, they are very insecure, weak, frightened men.

Like Trump, they blame immigrants for their circumstances in life. "If it wasn't for the immigrants, I'd be much better off. It's all somebody else's fault, not mine".

The reality though, is that if they were even one iota like the strong, manly, independent cowboys they like to think of themselves as, then they would stop blaming other people for their lot in life and get up off their lazy arses, and improve what hand life has given them, just like a real cowboy or immigrant.

Do you think that most of these Magats, have the guts and determination, to get up off their arse, cross a sub Saharan desert, cross into war torn countries, where they face being shot and mugged and life threatening crossings on rough seas on dodgy inflatable dinghy's, to make a better life for themselves and their families. Those immigrants are the real cowboys. They are the sort of people that made America great. Not whiny men babies that blame their ill fortune on people less fortunate then themselves.

So far from being tough, independent, courageous strong men, they are a bunch of weak, frightened cry babies, blaming everyone barring themselves for their circumstances in life.

David M Marko's avatar

Spot on! The modus operandi that Trump has spiked the Kool-aid with for his worshipers is that nothing is your fault. Always someone else. It's the credo he has lived by his entire narcissistic life.

Susan Burgess's avatar

Good Michael, well said. but all that blaming is for his fans, to keep them angry victims as he plays the savior. Everything with him is a grift to keep his fans in rapt attention so he can slide fascist legislation through to enactment. He himself believes nothing. He just wants to stay as rich as possible and keep control over . . . you name it.

Kudos to Jeff for giving us the facts and not the sensationalized horseshit we see and hear every damn day.

Babe Paley's avatar

Nice picture of how much shorter trump is than his flunkies. One of the most stupid lies he tells is about how tall he is, so I guess Vance and Hegseth must be, like 6'7.
