"but a lot of Republicans ARE now waking up to the fact that the long knives are out for them, too."
fun fact: if there's a typo or a missing word in my post, it's almost always in a line I hurriedly added at the last minute, in a rush to publish. c'est la vie
Heʻs obsessed with crowd size. There would have been low turnout even if it was sunny and warm, and with the cold it would have been even lower. He can use the indoor venue as an excuse for the low crowd size.
Ah too bad, I was hoping for a repeat of William Henry Harrison.
"On March 26, Harrison developed a cold. According to the prevailing medical misconception of that time, it was believed that his illness was directly caused by the bad weather at his inauguration; however, Harrison's illness did not arise until more than three weeks after the event. Despite doctors' attempts at treating him, Harrison died on April 4 from pneumonia that developed from the cold. The first president to die in office, his presidency was, and remains, the shortest in American history.
But this way he will reenact someone maybe Stalin, Mussolini or Hitler walk bravely out to Caesar-style by his own damn self, possibly gets hisself shot at close range by a snub nose 38. Just enough to live in pain as a constant reminder of the arrogance that could be humiliating. Make him dance worried about those bone spurs flaring up. Makes me think of the border (saviors of our pure blood) that had to ‘be wild’ before the swearing in. Who am I kidding of course some good people on the wrong side gonna happen.
Sam, yes, DC in January is well known as "beach weather". The F'ing Dems fire up the Jewish Space Laser and activate the "Freezing Temps" lever. Actually, 10 million of us are not tuning in. Where are they going to seat the gazillion turd supporters?!
He doesn’t realize what change means, Sam. This is only the 3rd Inaug to be inside. Reagan’s #2 most recently. It’s cause old people get colder & the wind would muss his coiffure.
I think Mother Nature knows full well what she’s doing and why. Also, She’s big enough to handle the first felon. What I’m thrilled about are all his “fans” who I hope will be freezing their butts off waiting to perhaps catch a glimpse of dear leader.
Oh he will have to contend with the many (it was said 200k tickets for West Capitol lawn; more just on the Mall without tickets) really angry MAGAts*, bands**, vendors of tchotchkes, and others who won’t get in. The Capital One Arena can set 20k+ if the floor is used. Swearing in will be in Rotunda where Jimmy Carter was just honored in death & 4 years ago it was ravaged on the putz’s call. The Capital One Arena is for viewing swearing in. *Paid to get to DC, min 3 nights’ hotel stay, & now literally out in the cold. **The parade normally from the Capitol to the WH will instead, it was written, be IN the Arena where you can’t stage that many. A colleague wrote Fri aft that their 1500 band members and the buses & meals for them had no info. Buses paid for. The latest is they are redoing all plans. Bleachers were already along Penna Av up 15th St & in front of Lafayette Sq. Security fencing up. It’s going to be cold not even frigid for DC. They coulda put heat lamps on the stage & provided MAGA warm scarves for guests. He could’ve ridden the route. Bands were prepared for cold. Will TechBros reimburse all the really angry people?
The wisdom in this post is particularly epic. "In a world of Mark Zuckerbergs, be a Bob Hope." I would buy that t-shirt. Great work today, sir. Thank you.
Everyone of the Republicans could be a target. All of them said something negative about Trump in private in their past and there's lots of tattle tails....so popcorn and lots of shots of whisky. Trump doesn't need anyone because he's God...sir
It’s all loyalty to Trump except that he has to answer to his dear leader Putin. They are so cowed, stupid and dangerous that the MAGA lemmings claim their fealty to orange Putrumpin. Our new reality is that Putin is the Wizard of Oz in this scenario, the man behind the curtain running the whole fake machine and the media supported by the oligarchy have bowed down to Russia.
agreed...I want to see what my friends and family are up to....I hardly see them in my FB feeds anymore... all I get lately is right wing propaganda pages that I do not and will not ever follow.. I am getting tired of blocking them... I must block 20-30 of them on a daily basis...and not only are they MAGA nich pages, they are full of lies and misinformation. This is what Fuckerburg wants....Also my friends dont post as much as they used to...they are sick of it as well....If it were not for a few groups that I follow and enjoy I would so delete my FB page right now....in fact I might end up doing so in a couple weeks... Clapper is the new alternative to TikTok for those who like that... and we need an alternative to Instagram , too... anything that is NOT META.... I use Instagram for marketing my photography business but tired of getting locked out over the most minor infractions
It has ceased to function even for that. I found someone I interacted with years ago on FB and tried to send him a friend request but the robot told me I evidently did not know this person and could not be permitted to friend him.
To just say no, never, is playing ostrich. You can Censure what/who you view. I have host of people I've reconnected with and I avoid any political bullshit
Plus you get inundated with ads & political lies & bullshit & now no more fact checking. Want to reconnect with old friends? Send them a freaking email.
Joel - there are people I would never be able to connect with otherwise..I am with you on this. To those who think this is supporting Zuck, how? I am not paying any $$.
Totally with you Zuck is an official ass kissing oli and going down with the boat as the captain of a sinking yacht: another fucker that woke up on 3rd base thought he hit a triple but just a MAGGOT who is sure is an Avenger super hero.
Here's Maggie Haberman (NY TImes) predictably trying to sane-wash Trump's approach to having a targeted but ever moving shit-list: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1NABPJ9wnY
She was puzzled that Mike Pompeo wasn't on the enemies list. I'm sure Pompeo was grateful for her naming him specifically as an overlooked enemy.
FINALLY!!!!!"After careful consideration and consultation with constitutional experts, President Biden – like the American Bar Association last year – concluded that the ERA had met all the requirements for inclusion in the Constitution. He decided that the Oath of Office he took upon assuming the presidency – the Oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States” – meant that he should formally announce that conclusion to the world."
I wish I could celebrate this purely virtual victory. In actuality, however, it means nothing has changed, and since the RW has control over ALL three branches of our government, nothing will for at least the next two years.
Too bad none of them ever felt it necessary to crack a history book open to see their possible fates. There are so many ways to get rid of people, and Trump is a master at ugliness.
Zuck will only get worse. He will forever lack the character to rise to maturity and figures he has enough wealth to just hide from the challenge. Fuck dat guy.
He started off as a sniggering little incel who wanted to win points with the bullies by creating his hot chicks app in college. He grew richer but not greater, as a human being. Same as the other tech bros.
He "likes" them as long as they keep shoveling money his direction. And the feeling is mutual. The oligarchs don't "like" Donald as a friend, a cool and fun guy to hang with. (The very thought that Donald has any real "friends" is ludicrous. Everyone is just there to use each other.) They are hanging around because they will get what they want from him.
It was created to rate women on their "fuckability" sometimes using photos without the to be "rated" women's knowledge or consent. That is why I've never looked at FB. By then I was old enough to be practicing the "when someone tells you who they are, believe them the first time" advice attributed to Maya Angelou. You can't change them and most of the time they are not capable of changing themselves.
Except they were not friends (they were jocks who paid him to do their homework types)
Yeah, everyone misses the point that that was what the Winklevoss twin douches pitched to him, but he realized it could be so much more, and designed it that way. It was very enjoyable for some time when they enforced the TOS. Then Sheryl taught him how to monetize it, the Russian trolls started dumping money into ads, and ruined the platform The richer he got, the more he came to resemble the privileged douchey Winklevoss twins.
So true. The same is true of Trump. We would hang out in Jamaica Queens, (now I'm 82). The Trump's lived in Jamaica Estates, across from the old Ideal Toy Company factory. His older brother, Freddy, was a nice guy. What I saw of "Donny", he was a nasty little prick that nobody liked. He had the money to literally "buy" friends.
I would think that "Tech-Bro" Billionaires would have a better sense of self-esteem but these idiots are the most insecure little boys that I have ever seen. Zuck and the Muskrat just want to be loved by someone even if it's MAGA idiots. Pathetic.
He’s still the frat boy who created FB to rate girls. He’s a dick with a lot of money. As Jeff says, ‘don’t be a dick!’ Too late for Zuck, he started out as one.
It's unfortunate that most people don't know that. Just like most people don't know that Elon Musk didn't invent the electric car & was NOT the founder of Tesla! That would be the real engineers Martin Eberhard & Marc Tarpenning, who founded Tesla in 2003. Musk just happened to strike it rich when he & Peter Thiel sold PayPal to EBAY, & he began buying up shares of Tesla , soon becoming its largest shareholder, & becoming the CEO in 2008.
Musk is not an engineer. His degree is in business. And if it weren't for the huge US government subsidies he received, SpaceX would not exist.
They were not friends, the Winkelvoss twins were douche-bros who wanted the platform to rate girls, Zuck was the computer nerd, they knew they could get to make it happen, because they were dumb jock-penises. Being a nerd, he figured it could be used for far more than their short-sightedness. Unfortunately success had made him as big a republican douche as they are.
Hmmm… “friends”. That guy has never had friends. I’m guessing from infancy. Never. Who would want to have to spend time with him if there was any alternative? Who would go to dinner or a game or a show? Who would invite him over to hang out listening to records? No one.
He wanted to change the world in a good way, and was a liberal when Priscilla Chan married him, he has soured with all the money into a libertarian. She is involved in many kids charities, most libertarians just want to lower the age of consent. And not pay taxes.
Let's just hope they will dissolve into a puddle of chaos and dysfunction and that Dear Leader chokes on a burger. I imagine no one in this community has lived through an authoritarian takeover of their country, so as long as we have humor and each other, maybe we can reach the other side of sanity.
I'd like to know when the majority of regular people will revolt and resist. Do you see that coming? A revolution or a civil war? I feel like I'm surrounded by lazy, entitled morons. I think something will have to give....I just wonder when will enough be enough?
Stalin "eliminated" everyone who was smarter than him. That is the truth, look it up. What if Trump "eliminates" everyone smarter than him?
What if Trump has already made a deal with Putin? "Take America, just spare me". Even if this is not going to happen, lots of people will be surprised to find themselves in the Soviet "Union". Because of Trump and the Republicans, we no longer live in the United States.
Look for a disaster to happen any minute. It is supposed to be 16 and windy in DC for the "ceremony" on Monday. Frostbite is the least of their worries.
I have been here since Truman. Fuck Nixon, Fuck Reagan, fuck Trump. They all deserve what they get.
Everyone in Trump's Techbro Politburo is smarter than him, and with egos to match. Sooner or later, one or more of them will feel like they've kissed as much ass as they paid for and/or face a shareholder rebellion over some costly concession to Dear Leader that's one smooch over the line.
I think it’d be typical of the Felon they voted for to be our president albeit he’s not our president. But you hit it on the head, actually I wish I had a cudgel so I could hit him in the head…
The U.S. is going to be a satellite of Russia....any & ALL decisions will be made on that basis...and for Ds monetary gain. Nonsense of D supporting Ukraine is ridiculous. Europe MUST step up ...for Christmas sakes they've had 3 years to figure this out.
Trump is occupying the office Illegally, illegitimately. Not one order he makes should be carried out. Resistance in full begins in 3 days. I consider any Democrat attending the inauguration to be complicit in welcoming Fascism. Bill Clinton, W Bush and Obama are skipping the inauguration LUNCH….not good enough!
I’m glad they will attend the ceremony. (And not sorry Michelle and others have opted out - their choice reflects their disgust at what’s-his-face.) The former presidents are showing, with class, what our “democracy” should ALWAYS be. It’s the OFFICE of the presidency that matters, not the man, or asshole - (whatever) - that matters.
I agree that it's the proper thing to do, it shows class, but the fact is, that will be lost on trump. He counts numbers, that's all. He won't (and never does) see a statement being made; we won't (and never does) see them trying to teach him class and how to be Presidential. All he sees are how many people show up. And that is so damn childish it makes me want to vomit. And terrifies me for our future.
Yes, from what I read, he posted on X that the rocket experienced an unscheduled disassembly. He is such a dweeb. And the harder he tries to be cool, the more of a dweeb he looks.
Count of Mostly Crisco is constitutionally ineligible to hold the Presidency or any other federal office. It is profoundly disrespectful to the office to treat the usurper as a legitimate incumbent.
“Shit List Island”…..love it! My mom always used the term “shit list!” Haven’t heard it for a few years…so thanks! hahaha. It’s getting scary out there-that is for sure!
Just goes to show you that folks like Nikki Haley inspite of all of her bootlicking and ass kissing, got banished to the hilariously described shit list island. It will be interesting as hell to see how many others who don't show loyalty, disobey or finally say enough of this bullshit get sent to the dear leader version of purgatory for bad MAGAs. If anyone deserves to be banished to an island for the rest of his twisted life, it's the felon who takes office starting on Monday.
I'm quite happy about what is happening to Nikki Haley. She deserves it for not sticking to her campaign schtick. There is no going back for her---good riddance.
Poor Birdbrain Nikki is getting exactly what she deserves as far as I'm concerned but I sure wish she would have seen it coming so we would have America's first black woman president being sworn in on Monday.
I did it! It was wonderful marching with "My People!" And I only fell once--on the steps leading up to my back door as I got home, LOL. No damage except to my ego.
It goes w/out saying that the more people are purged from gov't. and replaced by MAGA loyalists, the more stupid and inept gov't. will become. Journalists should cultivate sources inside to monitor and explain how things get increasingly fucked up. It probably starts Monday (if it hasn't started already). The idiots will walk in, take over, and have no idea what they're doing. You could probably fill a daily Substack with such stories.
All his minions love to go running to the press with their stories! It was so rich. The Pentagon stories will be amazing with a drunk Peter Hegseth and his three gin-and-tonic breakfasts. Krazy Eyes Patel trying to arrest all the Democrats and ending up in court each day. I'm sure the Cheney's are just waiting for him. Tulsi Gabbard not getting any intelligence from our allies. Just sitting there with her listening devices. The next impeachment of the Felon when the Dems take the House in 2026.
Add Senator Jodi Ernst to the purge pile...almost. She saved her cowardly ass just in the nick of time, voting yes for Hogsbreath's DOD cabinet role. The demand for compliance to the Melon Felon will make a female combat veteran and sex abuse survivor wipe her memory clean and blindly obey. All Rs, check your spine at the door!
Joni is certainly a disappointment, isn't she? I wish that at some point they do the EVERYONE EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE rebellion against the fELON, he certainly can't attack ALL of them at once but they're not smart enough to figure that out. I mean he can and will attack them one by one or a couple but if they all say HELL NO to his crazy ass then we might stand a chance at saving the union. Daydreaming. Again. lol
Mark, that’s been the problem all along. A Republican finds his spine, stands up to the CF, & is primaried & loses his seat. The Rethugs do need to learn that they can only win by standing together against tRump
Just shows that the Orange Lizard is not the real problem. The real problem is that we are just too lazy and stupid for self-government. What’s the solution for that??
The whole mess is still so very hard to wrap my mind around. Watching these dickweeds bow and scrape before that bloviated piece of shit is disgraceful.
1. Orange Fuckwit has no clue who those thousand “new hires” are. Out standing in the rain when they don’t measure up to those “high standards” of bullshit
2. What’s worse than being on Donny’s shit list? Plenty, but I’d take it as a badge of honor. Except for those that are still trying to kiss his ass.
Maybe it's ok to lie and pledge loyalty to Trump to get a job. That's what the Repubs do, anyway. Lie, after pledging to support the Constitution and other rightful ideas.
I heard $500,000,000 in "donations" to the inauguration fund. Anyone seen offers to pay people to attend? Given the antics around the 2017 inaugural, 2025 should be ridiculous.
They're moving the "festivities" indoors because it's going to be "cold." Damn. Indoors where is my question, since there'll be "millions and millions - billions!" - of spectators.
I give it a few months. I believe that they have plans for the fELON and will take him out of play one way or another. He's too toxic even for the worst of them, even the 20 "red seat" senators up for re-election in 2026.
Nikki Haley should be a case study for all those who want to surrender in advance and suck up to Trump after disagreeing with him at any time in the past. She will always be “birdbrain”, will never have a position in his administration, and has destroyed her political future. She will remain on MAGA’s hate list.
My one glimmer of hope is the fact that the Convicted Felon decided to use his political capital to threaten invasions of Greenland and Canada, which have both blown up in his face and which very few Americans (much less Greenlanders and Canadians) want. That plus the fact that he's already walked back most of his campaign promises hopefully shows that the next two years will be a lot of rake-stepping and posturing.
Are Day 1 mass deportations: First, they were to begin within the first few minutes after inaug. Then it was going to target currently in jail immigrants who had committed crimes. j d said something, which I ignored. Last night, sanctuary cities were the target. So I feel less worried. CF can't remember at Noon what he said at 10 am.
Even the worst of the world's dictators want to look like "good guys" in their official portraits -- the benevolent Papa, not comic book villains. They're laughing at him and his demented idiocy.
"but a lot of Republicans ARE now waking up to the fact that the long knives are out for them, too."
fun fact: if there's a typo or a missing word in my post, it's almost always in a line I hurriedly added at the last minute, in a rush to publish. c'est la vie
I just read that they will be moving the "swearing in" of the fELON inside due to the frigid temps in DC.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The bastard is going to be BIG MAD at Mother Nature now! Look out girl!
Heʻs obsessed with crowd size. There would have been low turnout even if it was sunny and warm, and with the cold it would have been even lower. He can use the indoor venue as an excuse for the low crowd size.
He will say shrinkage is to blame for the small size. I mean crowd size. 🤣
Calling Sean Spicer!
Maui - 🎯🎯🎯
Hadn't thought of that, Wahine,
but I'm sure you're absolutely right.
His pores look better on TV anyway. His face will fill up your TV.
Ah too bad, I was hoping for a repeat of William Henry Harrison.

Makes me think of the border (saviors of our pure blood) that had to ‘be wild’ before the swearing in. Who am I kidding of course some good people on the wrong side gonna happen.
He’ll cite that as evidence that climate change is a hoax.
Sam, yes, DC in January is well known as "beach weather". The F'ing Dems fire up the Jewish Space Laser and activate the "Freezing Temps" lever. Actually, 10 million of us are not tuning in. Where are they going to seat the gazillion turd supporters?!

Wuss. PAB.
But isn’t that the fault of the Democrats who have the ability to control the weather? Oh, time for an IG post about the ghost of Carter!
I think Mother Nature knows full well what she’s doing and why. Also, She’s big enough to handle the first felon. What I’m thrilled about are all his “fans” who I hope will be freezing their butts off waiting to perhaps catch a glimpse of dear leader.
Oh he will have to contend with the many (it was said 200k tickets for West Capitol lawn; more just on the Mall without tickets) really angry MAGAts*, bands**, vendors of tchotchkes, and others who won’t get in.

Kind of like loyalty tests in a pogrom. We need to unite over major issues, like saving our democracy, and steel ourselves for the future.
I just learned that tomorrow (Sunday 1/19) is National Popcorn Day! 🍿
Never have been on Facebook and never will.
It was a nice forum and way to re-up with people you may have lost touch with.

I use Instagram for marketing my photography business but tired of getting locked out over the most minor infractions
I get a bunch sexy women posting on my feed asking to be followed. They look like high class escorts.
High class Russian escorts
They ruined the red light district in Amsterdam, by filling it with trafficked women, so Yes.
i get those , too....all manufactured bots...even if they were real, no thanks...that is not what i use FB for
It has ceased to function even for that. I found someone I interacted with years ago on FB and tried to send him a friend request but the robot told me I evidently did not know this person and could not be permitted to friend him.
Until the damn Sheryl lady taught him to sell ads to the Russians, yes.
Ditto for me.
Okay, there's three of us!
To just say no, never, is playing ostrich. You can Censure what/who you view. I have host of people I've reconnected with and I avoid any political bullshit
It is unethical to support dishonest media. There are a lot of us ostriches.
I refuse to support Zuckerberg.
Participating in Fakebook-Meta is supporting it.
Plus you get inundated with ads & political lies & bullshit & now no more fact checking. Want to reconnect with old friends? Send them a freaking email.
Frankly, ever since it was started, I have regarded Facebook as a playground for narcissists. I can't tell you how uninterested I am.
Joel - there are people I would never be able to connect with otherwise..I am with you on this. To those who think this is supporting Zuck, how? I am not paying any $$.
My adblocker works on FB so I am not even viewing those who are paying money to Zuck.
FOUR!
Totally with you Zuck is an official ass kissing oli and going down with the boat as the captain of a sinking yacht: another fucker that woke up on 3rd base thought he hit a triple but just a MAGGOT who is sure is an Avenger super hero.

We will MAKE it change.
The fate of Rudy Giuliani should have been a cautionary tale for all these idiots.
Too bad none of them ever felt it necessary to crack a history book open to see their possible fates. There are so many ways to get rid of people, and Trump is a master at ugliness.
That's because those Maga morons are NOT Republicans. The word fascist fits
They are the brown shirts that get purged for being violent, uncontrollable mad dogs. They don't know their history.
Good people don't. Nikki isn't, that's all.
It's almost as if everything Dumpty touches, dies.
May he touch himself.
Nobody else will.
😂🤣Loony Loomer seemed pretty hot for him. If we ever needed proof she is mentally ill, that cinched it.🤮
Zuck will only get worse. He will forever lack the character to rise to maturity and figures he has enough wealth to just hide from the challenge. Fuck dat guy.
Zuck is a total wimp...and to think Facebook was created to talk about hot girls. I think that was it.
You just know he was the dork in his HS who was stuffed into his locker every day... And that sorry wig only makes it worse.
I wish the bullies had locked the locker.
He started off as a sniggering little incel who wanted to win points with the bullies by creating his hot chicks app in college. He grew richer but not greater, as a human being. Same as the other tech bros.
He needs to take a page out of Mark Cuban's playbook.
Elon, too. These guys are all the whiny dorks seeking revenge and finding out that still nobody likes them. Because they're ASSHOLES.
Donald likes them----because they have money and willingly give him some.
I don't think he likes them. As a narcissist, that's not in his make-up. He just uses them.
He "likes" them as long as they keep shoveling money his direction. And the feeling is mutual. The oligarchs don't "like" Donald as a friend, a cool and fun guy to hang with. (The very thought that Donald has any real "friends" is ludicrous. Everyone is just there to use each other.) They are hanging around because they will get what they want from him.
he was ABSOLUTELY that guy!
and his “wig” may or may not be a byproduct of daily swirlies.
I’ve been telling people to dump Zuck for years, Farcey Pages is one of the largest data mining sites in existence.
Who in the name of Christ on a cannonball, wants to dole out our personal data to the world??
He’s a billionaire for a reason, selling the world’s souls to the highest bidder!!
Because Zuck probably had trouble attracting girls.
Just showed his lack of confidence and self-respect. Explains why he had to buy getting in Trumps good graces. Still a wimp
Ya think he was a geek, we all know he was stuffed in his locker by the smallest football player on the girls team.
It was created to rate women on their "fuckability" sometimes using photos without the to be "rated" women's knowledge or consent. That is why I've never looked at FB.

Not even his idea, Susan. The idea was thought of by 2 college friends

And to think this schmuck talks about “masculinity”…uh…he’s definitely not gonna fit into that category!
I would think that "Tech-Bro" Billionaires would have a better sense of self-esteem but these idiots are the most insecure little boys that I have ever seen. Zuck and the Muskrat just want to be loved by someone even if it's MAGA idiots. Pathetic.
Jayme, you hit the nail right on the head. You also described the Big Orange Blob!
These guys are just so thrilled thinking they finally have friends, when in reality their puppet strings all lead back to Putin.
This has always been the point Cheryl!!
He’s still the frat boy who created FB to rate girls. He’s a dick with a lot of money. As Jeff says, ‘don’t be a dick!’ Too late for Zuck, he started out as one.
No, he was the nerd the Winklevoss jock douchebro twins told to design it for them. He became them, by all the money made.
Excellent point Cassandra!!
Lets no forget, he stole the Facebook idea from two college friends
It's unfortunate that most people don't know that. Just like most people don't know that Elon Musk didn't invent the electric car & was NOT the founder of Tesla! That would be the real engineers Martin Eberhard & Marc Tarpenning, who founded Tesla in 2003. Musk just happened to strike it rich when he & Peter Thiel sold PayPal to EBAY, & he began buying up shares of Tesla , soon becoming its largest shareholder, & becoming the CEO in 2008.
Musk is not an engineer. His degree is in business. And if it weren't for the huge US government subsidies he received, SpaceX would not exist.
They were not friends, the Winkelvoss twins were douche-bros who wanted the platform to rate girls, Zuck was the computer nerd, they knew they could get to make it happen, because they were dumb jock-penises. Being a nerd, he figured it could be used for far more than their short-sightedness. Unfortunately success had made him as big a republican douche as they are.
Hmmm… “friends”. That guy has never had friends. I’m guessing from infancy. Never. Who would want to have to spend time with him if there was any alternative? Who would go to dinner or a game or a show? Who would invite him over to hang out listening to records? No one.
In his gigantic underground bunker.
I hope his wife divorces him.
I know nothing of her life, causes, public statements. Which makes me think she’s fine with the life.
She married him. So there was a reason. Don't know her so really don't know.
He wanted to change the world in a good way, and was a liberal when Priscilla Chan married him, he has soured with all the money into a libertarian. She is involved in many kids charities, most libertarians just want to lower the age of consent. And not pay taxes.
Let's just hope they will dissolve into a puddle of chaos and dysfunction and that Dear Leader chokes on a burger. I imagine no one in this community has lived through an authoritarian takeover of their country, so as long as we have humor and each other, maybe we can reach the other side of sanity.
Hadnt heard the Bob Hope Story. VERY nice.
Bob had a lot of class.
He sure did!!
Most of them dissolved into a puddle of chaos and insanity the last time and they will again this time. Everything he touches dies.
Hopefully
I'd like to know when the majority of regular people will revolt and resist. Do you see that coming? A revolution or a civil war? I feel like I'm surrounded by lazy, entitled morons. I think something will have to give....I just wonder when will enough be enough?
The time will be when the shit-weasels see their name on ‘the list’ wieners piss themselves first then whimper themselves to sleep.
We need to keep fighting. I aspire to be on the Orange Lizard’s hit list.
Lizard libel, he's more of an orc.
Stalin "eliminated" everyone who was smarter than him. That is the truth, look it up. What if Trump "eliminates" everyone smarter than him?
What if Trump has already made a deal with Putin? "Take America, just spare me". Even if this is not going to happen, lots of people will be surprised to find themselves in the Soviet "Union". Because of Trump and the Republicans, we no longer live in the United States.
Look for a disaster to happen any minute. It is supposed to be 16 and windy in DC for the "ceremony" on Monday. Frostbite is the least of their worries.
I have been here since Truman. Fuck Nixon, Fuck Reagan, fuck Trump. They all deserve what they get.
And fuck both Bushes too!
Same weather forecast for the Women's March in Wisconsin. I'll be there because I give a fuck. Hey Anus-face, Shitlist THIS!
Thanks. I love my Tribe!
Everyone in Trump's Techbro Politburo is smarter than him, and with egos to match. Sooner or later, one or more of them will feel like they've kissed as much ass as they paid for and/or face a shareholder rebellion over some costly concession to Dear Leader that's one smooch over the line.
He would be the only one left if he eliminated everyone smarter than him!
Exactly.
As a fellow Boomer, born when Truman was in the WH, I totally agree with you.
He’s moving the Inauguration inside due to the cold.
Who gets to go inside? Are his fascist followers going to have to hang outside?
You know how that fucking guy is. Gonna be too cold for Him is what he meant. Christ on a cupcake the next four years are going to be hell…
I think I’m going to have to leave the states and live elsewhere.
https://www.npr.org/2025/01/17/nx-s1-5265674/president-elect-donald-trump-moves-inauguration-indoors-citing-frigid-temperatures
maybe you have to fork over $100 per seat to get inside ( all proceeds go to the
prez election committee aka his back pocket ?)
I think it’d be typical of the Felon they voted for to be our president albeit he’s not our president. But you hit it on the head, actually I wish I had a cudgel so I could hit him in the head…
The U.S. is going to be a satellite of Russia....any & ALL decisions will be made on that basis...and for Ds monetary gain. Nonsense of D supporting Ukraine is ridiculous. Europe MUST step up ...for Christmas sakes they've had 3 years to figure this out.
Trump is occupying the office Illegally, illegitimately. Not one order he makes should be carried out. Resistance in full begins in 3 days. I consider any Democrat attending the inauguration to be complicit in welcoming Fascism. Bill Clinton, W Bush and Obama are skipping the inauguration LUNCH….not good enough!
I’m glad they will attend the ceremony. (And not sorry Michelle and others have opted out - their choice reflects their disgust at what’s-his-face.) The former presidents are showing, with class, what our “democracy” should ALWAYS be. It’s the OFFICE of the presidency that matters, not the man, or asshole - (whatever) - that matters.
I disagree. The office is not, and never will be the same thanks to srcotus. There is no need for any of them to support it.
I agree that it's the proper thing to do, it shows class, but the fact is, that will be lost on trump. He counts numbers, that's all. He won't (and never does) see a statement being made; we won't (and never does) see them trying to teach him class and how to be Presidential. All he sees are how many people show up. And that is so damn childish it makes me want to vomit. And terrifies me for our future.
Trump’s never had class.
Oh, and a round of applause for the Space Nazi’s exploding rocket!
Though I must admit when I saw the video my first thought was “that’s what he’s going to do to our country.”
Now, now, the rocket didn't explode. According to Elno, it had an "unscheduled disassembly". What an idiot.
What a fantastic EUPHEMISM! Did that doofus actually say “unscheduled disassembly”? George Carlin is rolling in his grave!!!
Yes, from what I read, he posted on X that the rocket experienced an unscheduled disassembly. He is such a dweeb. And the harder he tries to be cool, the more of a dweeb he looks.
Max, melon came super close to making a pig prettier by putting on the lipstick.
Count of Mostly Crisco is constitutionally ineligible to hold the Presidency or any other federal office. It is profoundly disrespectful to the office to treat the usurper as a legitimate incumbent.
Count of Mostly Crisco… good one RE
I stole it from somebody so feel free to steal it onward
Reminds me of the old Crisco joke:
An old lady is walking around in a supermarket calling out, "Crisco, Crisssssssco!"
Soon a store clerk approaches and says, "Lady, the Crisco is in aisle D."
The old lady replies, "Oh, I'm not looking for the cooking stuff. I'm calling my husband."
The clerk is astonished. "Your husband's name is Crisco?"
The old lady answers, "Oh no, no, no. I only call him that when we're out in public."
"I see," said the clerk. "What do you call him at home?"
"Lard ass."
Definitely hoping for Total Resistance at every level.
“Shit List Island”…..love it! My mom always used the term “shit list!” Haven’t heard it for a few years…so thanks! hahaha. It’s getting scary out there-that is for sure!
You should live at my house - it’s used multiple times a day as well as the F word. If it’s good enough for Uncle Jeff, it’s good enough for me.
Just goes to show you that folks like Nikki Haley inspite of all of her bootlicking and ass kissing, got banished to the hilariously described shit list island. It will be interesting as hell to see how many others who don't show loyalty, disobey or finally say enough of this bullshit get sent to the dear leader version of purgatory for bad MAGAs. If anyone deserves to be banished to an island for the rest of his twisted life, it's the felon who takes office starting on Monday.
I'm quite happy about what is happening to Nikki Haley. She deserves it for not sticking to her campaign schtick. There is no going back for her---good riddance.
Like
Poor Birdbrain Nikki is getting exactly what she deserves as far as I'm concerned but I sure wish she would have seen it coming so we would have America's first black woman president being sworn in on Monday.
As a nurse, we used to refer to "the fecal roster."
Shit List Island of Misfit Politicians.
The song ‘Shit List’ by the band L7 has been getting a lot of play here at chez O’Brien.
I'll be in the Women's/People's March tomorrow, giving the finger to the MAGAts, and the pathetic Shitler. Wish me luck.
Me too. At my age I should be willing to risk a fall down the State Capitol steps to protest the Orange Rind.
At my age (72) I AM willing to risk a fall--and frostbite. Too bad Shitler doesn't have the balls to take it.
I wish I could be there. I’m with you in spirit!
“The Whole Worlds watching!” repeat a million times.
We said that too.
I did it! It was wonderful marching with "My People!" And I only fell once--on the steps leading up to my back door as I got home, LOL. No damage except to my ego.
I’ve been waiting for the pink stocking caps.
❤️
It goes w/out saying that the more people are purged from gov't. and replaced by MAGA loyalists, the more stupid and inept gov't. will become. Journalists should cultivate sources inside to monitor and explain how things get increasingly fucked up. It probably starts Monday (if it hasn't started already). The idiots will walk in, take over, and have no idea what they're doing. You could probably fill a daily Substack with such stories.
I'm counting on being able to fill a daily Substack with such stories
Oh my god we’ll be ripe for a takeover by. . . Oh wait it’s already happened.
If Donnie purges everyone smarter than him, Tommy I-wish-I’d-worn-a-helmet Tuberville remains. He has no worries whatsoever.
The last time the Orange Felon was in office, the place leaked like a sieve. The blunders will be epic.
I just hope there's some media company somewhere out there still left to report them.
All his minions love to go running to the press with their stories! It was so rich. The Pentagon stories will be amazing with a drunk Peter Hegseth and his three gin-and-tonic breakfasts. Krazy Eyes Patel trying to arrest all the Democrats and ending up in court each day. I'm sure the Cheney's are just waiting for him. Tulsi Gabbard not getting any intelligence from our allies. Just sitting there with her listening devices. The next impeachment of the Felon when the Dems take the House in 2026.
Add Senator Jodi Ernst to the purge pile...almost. She saved her cowardly ass just in the nick of time, voting yes for Hogsbreath's DOD cabinet role. The demand for compliance to the Melon Felon will make a female combat veteran and sex abuse survivor wipe her memory clean and blindly obey. All Rs, check your spine at the door!
Joni is certainly a disappointment, isn't she? I wish that at some point they do the EVERYONE EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE rebellion against the fELON, he certainly can't attack ALL of them at once but they're not smart enough to figure that out. I mean he can and will attack them one by one or a couple but if they all say HELL NO to his crazy ass then we might stand a chance at saving the union. Daydreaming. Again. lol
Mark, that’s been the problem all along. A Republican finds his spine, stands up to the CF, & is primaried & loses his seat. The Rethugs do need to learn that they can only win by standing together against tRump
Just shows that the Orange Lizard is not the real problem. The real problem is that we are just too lazy and stupid for self-government. What’s the solution for that??
“Petition for blue states to start doing whatever we want and then sell it as modeling Trump”.
- @deirdreassenza.bsky.social
The whole mess is still so very hard to wrap my mind around. Watching these dickweeds bow and scrape before that bloviated piece of shit is disgraceful.
1. Orange Fuckwit has no clue who those thousand “new hires” are. Out standing in the rain when they don’t measure up to those “high standards” of bullshit
2. What’s worse than being on Donny’s shit list? Plenty, but I’d take it as a badge of honor. Except for those that are still trying to kiss his ass.
Maybe it's ok to lie and pledge loyalty to Trump to get a job. That's what the Repubs do, anyway. Lie, after pledging to support the Constitution and other rightful ideas.
Emulating the GOP may be a winning strategy for some. At least for me, the GOP is not on my list of people I’d follow for tips for getting hired.
Best comment, Marie!!
They are nothing but a bunch of lying ,self serving, moronic, cretins.
I heard $500,000,000 in "donations" to the inauguration fund. Anyone seen offers to pay people to attend? Given the antics around the 2017 inaugural, 2025 should be ridiculous.
There's still time for a coronary
All acts of Nature welcomed. Who would have thought a Vance Administration would be something to hope for?
They're moving the "festivities" indoors because it's going to be "cold." Damn. Indoors where is my question, since there'll be "millions and millions - billions!" - of spectators.
Tank the TV ratings
The rotunda. It's not huge.
I give it a few months. I believe that they have plans for the fELON and will take him out of play one way or another. He's too toxic even for the worst of them, even the 20 "red seat" senators up for re-election in 2026.
Meanwhile we have 3 House seats to win.
I'm hoping the Felon makes everyone so miserable that the Senate turns blue again with the House.
In my case I mean a girl could dream…
Nikki Haley should be a case study for all those who want to surrender in advance and suck up to Trump after disagreeing with him at any time in the past. She will always be “birdbrain”, will never have a position in his administration, and has destroyed her political future. She will remain on MAGA’s hate list.
If Ms. Haley were able to write checks for a mutually agreed upon sum, her status in Trumpworld would be back in play.
My one glimmer of hope is the fact that the Convicted Felon decided to use his political capital to threaten invasions of Greenland and Canada, which have both blown up in his face and which very few Americans (much less Greenlanders and Canadians) want. That plus the fact that he's already walked back most of his campaign promises hopefully shows that the next two years will be a lot of rake-stepping and posturing.
Are Day 1 mass deportations: First, they were to begin within the first few minutes after inaug. Then it was going to target currently in jail immigrants who had committed crimes. j d said something, which I ignored. Last night, sanctuary cities were the target. So I feel less worried. CF can't remember at Noon what he said at 10 am.
What country will allow our jailed inmates to come to their country?
None!
Has any procedure been thought out?
None!
Will this deportation work?
Nope!
Get used to the idiocy of their decisions
That "offical portrait"? what a sneering, squirrel-eyed f@ck. Tough guy in diapers. He ain't messing around this time!
The "official portrait " looks just like his mugshot.
I think it is.
Even the worst of the world's dictators want to look like "good guys" in their official portraits -- the benevolent Papa, not comic book villains. They're laughing at him and his demented idiocy.
Right? He looks like some uber-villain from a spy novel
He’s about as tough as an inebriated
hamster. What a punk bully wuss
