today in Shit That Happened White I Was Busy Writing This Shit—

Trump lashes out at Supreme Court justices, saying his appointees ‘are not the people I interviewed’

https://www.cnn.com/2026/09/15/politics/trump-supreme-court-mail-voting?cid=android_app

we knew it was only a matter of time before Donny blew his stack over getting slapped down on mail-in voting. what does this bought-and-paid for SCOTUS hacks not understand about being bought and paid for?

Jeff, I am on fuckin vacation this week, so I'm trying to take it easy.

Fuck it though.

I have a hard rule against gloating before the ballots are counted, and I am breaking it for exactly one paragraph, because watching this gang of gilded shitgibbons get told "no" by the friendliest Court they will ever have is the closest thing to a sacrament I've had all week.

Wendy, I hope you can have a restful vacation. I am also on vacation this week and doing my best to enjoy it and not overload on news like every other day/week in this f'd up time-line.

Uncle Clarence and Sedition Sam

Treat the Constitution like a can of SPAM

They are reliably corrupt

I hope their exit is abrupt

From their self-dealing SCOTUS scam

AuntTeeFa's avatar

Until they retire and he appoints someone much younger and more radical😑

HI2thDoc's avatar

Retire? I wanna see them croak, but not until after we get rid of Fatfuck

I like the way you think.

I'm surprised Donny remembers interviewing any of these justices. In fact, he probably didn't. Back to the more important question of Mitch's cognitive state, it looks like the lights are on, but nobody's home. Also, a well placed electrode in the brain could activate the smile muscles, which seem to be in a permanent state of 'on' as they wheel him around. When was the last time a compos mentis McConnell actually smiled. That is a major tell.

I was on a Zoom session with my college friends last night when the news came through. When I said it was a 7-2 decision, everyone immediately knew who the two were.

HI2thDoc's avatar

In the future, the aphorism "Did the Paid Off Pair vote to shit on the Constitution" though cumbersome, should replace the reliable old "Does a bear shit in the woods?"

today you got three full-length posts rolled up in into one 2,127-word post. you're welcome, America

Jeff Tiedrich's avatar

and I didn't get have time to write about any of the important court cases that happened on Monday. yesterday was a double-fuckload of news

Jeff Tiedrich's avatar

btw, if you want a good write-up of yesterday's legal news, the indispensable Joyce Vance has a great one: https://joycevance.substack.com/p/a-day-for-good-legal-news

Thank you. I laughed out loud when I saw the clip from Young Frankenstein.

Can you imagine the uproar if a Russian oligarch had paid for Hunter Biden's ......................oh, fuck it!

What they're doing with Mitch is elder abuse, not that he doesn't deserve it. We're living in a stupid, bigoted gerontocracy, but to be fair, there's also the corruption. Twenty years from now (and I plan to be here) when I'm explaining to twenty year-olds how insane this period of time was I won't even know where to start.

Gloria J. Maloney's avatar

Does Mitch have electrodes in his cheeks that remotely stimulate his facial muscles to smile?

HH Mohr's avatar

His gaping vacant smile looks the same in every recent picture. Combination of botox and formaldehyde?

HI2thDoc's avatar

I can't tell which one is greater

Mitch's brain or a baked potater

Looks like the Party of Lyin'

Found theirselves a death defyin'

McConnell re-animator

AuntTeeFa's avatar

If they put his likeness in a Madame Tussaud, they won’t even have to make a pretend one

HI2thDoc's avatar

The artisans at Madame Tussaud's are very skilled. Their wax effigy would be more lifelike than the real Mitch the Glitch

In the video of him with his mouth hanging open, there was no sign of a response. He was catatonic. Before he resumes his seat in the senate, I’d like to hear him speak and actually move. Or, wheel him back to the total care nursing home and leave him alone to die.

AuntTeeFa's avatar

Real live rolling elder abuse

rlritt's avatar

He had a team big bouncers surrounding him so I doubt anyone could ask him questions.

Tess's avatar

Great Claudia/Katie photos! No words for what they are doing with McConnell…”prop him up and I’ll tell you how he votes and press the button”…..instructions. So sick of this!

Fastball Fredo's avatar

Mel and Eric come out today saying they don’t know Don Jr. Russian good buddy.. why today? Rather odd. Waiting to hear what Natalie has to say..

HI2thDoc's avatar

Lavish destination weddings are in season

Even so, we know the real reason

Why Kremlev would foot the bill

It's so Junior and his crime family will

Continue with their ongoing treason

Frosty McGillicuddy's avatar

To the tune of POP GOES THE WEASEL

Donny Drumpfy's pecker is small

Like a skinny piece of spaghetti

Melanoma points and laughs at him now

"Me no get wetty!"

We need to flip Congress bigly in November. And then hopefully they can Hunter-Biden the shit out of Don Jr.

Love today’s Daily Claudia pics!

While in Ireland, Trump commented that Jr. High has been less energetic and "...acting like a different human being." Speculation is that he may support Jr. High's run for president in 2028. So, shelling out a few hundred thousand dollars (pocket change to an oligarch), is a hell of an investment should Jr. High actually win in 2028. And, should that happen, I've lost all hope for this country.

Oh honey, if that happened, I'd move to Canada.

rlritt's avatar

I wonder if Canada would have a "hardship/freedom" visa for American refugees.

Tonya Browning's avatar

If Mitch were brain dead, he wouldn’t be conscious!! My dad was brain dead, so I know what I’m talking about. MAGAs are so uneducated, & they speak with such willfully ignorant confidence!!

rlritt's avatar

It looks as if he's conscious, but he may have severe senility.

Somebody also pointed out that AI is pretty much propping up the economy and keeping it from looking as bad as it is. If AI goes kaboom, the economy goes in the shitter.

HI2thDoc's avatar

As dangerous as AI potentially is, there is no question that drumpf's natural stupidity (NS) is much, much more destructive

HI2thDoc's avatar

You know we live in an unbelievably fucked up time when parody is indistinguishable from factual reporting

Renee's avatar

Hi Jeff. Just came here to say that today's Daily Claudia gave me the warm and fuzzies. I also have one daughter who is grown up now. Looking at today's pics, especially the second one, brings me right back to when my daughter was that a young child.

I'm sure losing her mom was/is hard on Katie. Please let her know that I am thinking about her and hope she finds comfort in her memories of their times together.

I'm sending thoughts of sympathy and love to you and Katie this morning.

Carry on.

rlritt's avatar

Yes, great photos!

Well the techbros made their money despite the warnings. Bit late.

Of course many people in the USA will welcome Skynet as long as it "owns the libs."

HI2thDoc's avatar

Until they finally figger out that Skynet is intent on killing all humans, not just libs

CE's avatar

Trump is absolutely correct, we DO need a strong and smart president to lead us on AI. The question is….can we wait that long?
