Trump can refile, but “Trump must adequately allege that the Journal knowingly published false information or acted with reckless disregard for the truth”
This is why the press who cave in to him pay zillions of dollars and those who fight back see their lawsuits dismissed or disappear.
All I’m seeing is him keeping this story in the public eye longer to which I say have at it. He’s hoping they’ll settle if a refiled suit goes forward, but if they don’t he’ll slither away rather than risk discovery.
Can’t help but call out this semi-ironic comment, on a blog that praises the leader of the same church that tried to erase Copernicus’ accomplishments (and literally erased his epitaph for 400 years.)
I think defamation. Hunter claims she was fixed up with DonOld by ol' Epstein himself. I don't think Hunter is claiming JE banged her first but I have heard that idea bandied about by some wags.
I don't care who had Melania first, second or third. There are more important things to worry about. Is he going to nuke Iran? Someone said he knows he is dying, and if he is dying, he wants everyone to die.
I bet that this is another one of the drumpf empty threats, because even civil suits require discovery, which will expose even more dirty laundry. Even she is not stupid enough to want that.
And still there are media outlets that cave to him, putting more money into his tiny, money-grubbing hands. Did no one learn the story of the Emperor's New Clothes?
Maybe we should all tell our kids/grandkids to report themselves as trans - that way they don't have to go fight his wars for him. Because a draft is definitely in their future with Kegstand in charge.
What a conundrum. The WSJ fought Trump’s suit, instead of settling, like ABC and CBS News did. So does that mean I have to support the WSJ for their fearlessness?
this really *was* a round of 'What The Fuck Am I Waking Up To Today?,' because I went to bed last night intending to write more about Donny's blockade of the blockade — and then I woke up to Donny's Jesus tweet and his beef with the Pope ...
I just heard that Trump is saying he was supposed to be a doctor in that AI picture of him posing as Jesus. He can’t understand how the fake news came up with saying he was trying to look like Jesus. It was all about the Red Cross he said because “we support that”. He really thinks we’re all as dumb as his maga base.
Ignore the Bombast bloviator. When you see or hear his miserable excuse for "words" follow Melania's advice "I don't care. Do you?" Praise the Hungarians. Believe the Pope's Message of Peace and caring for the less fortunate than us. Find a candidate you like and support them through Nov. Bring your friends. Save the America we love.
Yeah, the blockade of the blockade has sent us full twilight zone episode. And spot on, regarding this:
“fascism wants you demoralized. fascism wants you to give up. that’s how fascism wins.”
I love blocking social media accounts that essentially promote the narrative that all is lost and that we should give up and there’s no alternative to these people.
I'll admit to curiosity as to Orban's reasons for allowing a fair election, if he was really the authoritarian leader that people claimed he was. Haven't heard of any possible tampering there, but we certainly can't afford to assume that our own regime will allow the same.
Magyar was a member of Fidesz, and is a center-right guy. Just not as right-leaning as Orbán, and not anywhere near as corrupt. He still believes in Orbán's anti-immigrant positions.
I love how The Guardian compares Biblical Jesus’ healing the sick to the Mad King’s cuts to Medicaid.
And the final quote from someone responding to Trump’s post: “God, we might have made a mistake and accidentally elected the Antichrist. Send help.” 😂😂
My memory is a bit hazy, remind me again who was president during COVID when "they were arresting priests, ministers, and everybody else"? Oh yeah, it was... oh my, that is embarrassing isn't it? Good thing it never happened.
My bet is the horned thing in the sky behind Jesus H. Trump is supposed to be the Statue of Liberty though it does remind me more of Cthulhu.
We live in interesting times in the Chinese curse sort of way...
So sorry, Owens, Donalds, Scott, Patel, Cheung, Ramaswamy, and all the rest of you delusional non-white MAGAs. You get the drumpf healthcare plan after all: nothing
Another (unnecessary) piece of evidence to how stupid MAGA is: trump's been mocking Christianity in words and action for years, but it takes a picture for the idiots to understand.
He insults all of Islam with his "Praise Be to Allah" sneer last week and now nauseates Christians with his self-adolatrous incarnation as Jesus. What's next -- AI slop depicting Buddha as his beloved Kim Jong Un? (Whoever his MAGA artist is, the LSD therapy must be 24/7.)
But it makes little sense, since they were the MAGA who adamantly claimed he was elected by Jesus. And he's posted AI memes along those lines prior to this one. Is Hegseth (Mr Holy War) behind these social media posts?
The lady across the street is a wildly "good Catholic". She's even brought 6 daughters into the world. She's also a bit of a loon and a Trumper. I'm about two inches away from asking her how she likes Trumps attack on her Pope. And if she's gonna hang a print of Trump Jesus on her wall. 🙄
Yes, I remember former GOP Speaker of the House (and former VP candidate) Paul Ryan castigating Pope Francis over his advocacy for the poor and care of the Earth, saying he should stay in his lane and stick to things in the church's wheelhouse like abortion and same-sex marriage. You know — things a bunch of celibate men are experts in.
JD should follow the Orange Clown around day and night until he kicks the proverbial bucket. Let's not waste any time. My prosecco is chilling and I am ready to sign, "Ding Dong Trump is dead, which old Trump the fuckface Trump, ding dong the Orange Clown is dead"
I'm still having a Big Sad over Swalwell. My God, men are so easily corrupted by the mighty lady parts. No lofty goal is enough when there is a quickie available. Grow up.
Every time this sort of thing happens, my wife rolls her eyes in disgust and breaks out her standard refrain: "Another stupid man." I have nothing but agreement to offer
So do I. Although she too affirms what you just did: that far, far too often men think with their genitals and exhibit truly narcissistic tendencies. Again, I can raise no rebuttal.
When a man in Swalwell's position "cavorts" amongst the young women the way he apparently has done...is it 100% about sex? I don't think so. Definitely not excusing his depraved proclivities, but I think there's got to be other mental crap going on--power tripping or compulsive quest for new and different to assuage inadequacies or reassure himself that he's hetero? For someone is his position to take advantage of young women is sick and vile.
Regardless, if people who knew him well, knew about this they should have hauled him off and given him hell about what could--and inevitably WOULD--happen and then marched him into a psychologist's office for some serious counseling.
Why can't they keep their pants zipped? Even when they're in dying days they have their hands on their dicks. I used to see it frequently when I worked in acute care. I once asked my late husband why. His answer was because you women having taken everything from us men and that's all we have left.
So sorry to have taken away the cooking, childcare, shopping, cleaning that men have done for centuries. So I guess having all that free time turns a man into a sexual predator.
I think it's a result of entitlement and narcissism. I read the one account of all of this and I'm wondering - how are our daughters being raised? To get so drunk you are not able to protect yourself? To be assaulted and still continue to work for the guy? Certainly doesn't excuse male behavior. Excessive drinking is not a woman's friend. I'm a boomer so I wasn't of the era that women and men were "equal". Equal in the sense that we can enjoy the same freedoms of men like not watching our drinks in a bar, walking alone at night, not locking our doors. We have to be raised to protect ourselves. Try and stay out of dangerous situations when we can. We may be mental titans, but most of us can't hold our own physically with a man. When i first heard this, my thought was that I would not be surprised if it was true. There was something about him that I can't put my finger on. Maybe some smugness and arrogance. I also would have believed he was innocent. I think the timing screams Roger Stone. Lee Atwater is dead so cant blame him.
Jeff, according to last nights timeline he posted on his site from 9:50pm until 4:00am.. he’s sundowning, no moral compass attacking the Pope and depicting himself as JC, making sure to offend most who follow that faith.. not my tribe but still reprehensible to say the least. Very happy Orbán loses his big election with Donald, JD and Putin backing him… My question… will Orban take a dacha in Moscow or relocate in Florida near Mar el Lardo? Best to All Fellow Travelers.
Good Morning Doc.. another in depth prose and I’m here for it… especially your reference to high story windows 😃😃😃 just a suggestion, could you work in some poison, the same that killed Russian dissidents? Thanks…
Well, he has a LOT of money. He can buy his way in if he wants to. I doubt that he would feel comfortable in Floridah. There aren't that many people who speak Hungarian around the south.
True. Donny would never have done something so in keeping with proper protocol as to resign when voted out. Donny would probably have forced Magyar physically haul him out of the office.
There is no way in hell that this pudding cup wrote this. It's either AI or the evil vampire Miller has usurped Trump's "Truth" Social account. He can't complete a full sentence or thought.
100% In person, Donnie Demento cannot complete a sentence and his vocabulary is becoming more simplistic by the day; he struggles to articulate words he was able to say a month ago. While the Psycho Social posts reflect his hate-filled insanity, he is not the author. He cannot even be the one dictating the posts.
I haven't heard Steven Cheung speak long enough to say he's the one posting, although what I have heard/read from him is equally unhinged. I have heard way too much from Nosferatu, and his psychotic hysteria in interviews does match the tone, vocabulary, and style of the Demento screeds.
My vote is FL, but he'll raid the coffers first so he can buy into the mad king's properties in Miami where all the Russian oligarchs live with their (anchor) baby mamas.
Well, we know Putin woke up to a very bad day. Orban was his slobbering puppet and now all Vlad has left is Poland to stack up against the Euro-led NATO. (He's abandoned the stinking landfill that is Trump and MAGA.)
"Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is RIGHT OUT. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it."
Sorry, it's a tic that MPHG quoters have to quote it when we see it.
Donny's fronto-temporal dementia is progressing quite rapidly and also too damn slow. Couchfuck McGee needs to pay a visit to Trump's arteries next.
Yeah, both Holy Grail and Big Lebowski are rife with quotable lines. They are my top two (with Tombstone—“I’ll be your huckleberry”—a close third). My sons and I toss memes and lines back and forth. But, the anarcho-syndicalist scene pushes my poli sci button—“the repression inherent in the system.”
I had to google that scene to refresh my memory--YES! Watery tarts and/or moistened bints should never just hand over swords to rando knights! Y'all might just end up like us! (or U.S.)
Well...Orban is more of a man than trump because at least he conceded to his opponent, more than trump did when he lost to Biden. I guess we'll have to wait and see if Orban eventually says the election he lost was rigged.
Also, what did it cost the taxpayers of the United States for J.D. to fly to Hungary to endorse Orban. Talk about waste, fraud, and abuse.
It's occurred to me that it might have been better for us if he'd won in 2020. They wouldn't have had 4 whole years (of Biden) to plan for the super fast implementation of Project 2025, including choosing and installing a cabinet full of cretins who were chomping at the bit to take immediate and total control.
I consider myself a free thinking agnostic, but I love this current pope from Chicago. As Jim Croce sang back in 1973, “the south side of Chicago is the baddest part of town . . . “ Pope Leo is from the south side of Chicago. The dipshit taco trump better not mess with his holiness.
Between the Pope and the people of Hungary - I'm feeling pretty fucking "Let's GOOOOOOO" this morning. Throw in a few Evangelicals pissed about that Jesus meme, and today is a VERY GOOD DAY.
today in "Shit That Happened While I Was Busy Writing This Shit" —
Judge tosses Trump’s Wall Street Journal defamation lawsuit
https://www.cnn.com/2026/04/13/media/trump-wsj-lawsuit-epstein-dismissed-judge
this was the lawsuit Donny filed after the Journal published Donny's birthday card to his dead pedo bestie
Throwing out the WSJ case.was definitely the right thing to do. But I’m not gonna lie. Discovery would have been fun.
Well, Donnie’s lawyers say they’re going to file an amended complaint, so we might still get that discovery!
I honestly hope he does re-file. I’d love to see that video deposition!
Trump can refile, but “Trump must adequately allege that the Journal knowingly published false information or acted with reckless disregard for the truth”
This is why the press who cave in to him pay zillions of dollars and those who fight back see their lawsuits dismissed or disappear.
Maybe it's all a setup to bypass campaign election rules. Either way it all goes into his pockets.
All I’m seeing is him keeping this story in the public eye longer to which I say have at it. He’s hoping they’ll settle if a refiled suit goes forward, but if they don’t he’ll slither away rather than risk discovery.
First I'm agreeing with Marjorie Taylor Greene. Next I'm celebrating a Rupert Murdoch win.
I guess the magnetic poles are reversed (I mean the North and South Pole. Not the ones that gained Melania's Epstein Visa approval).
Madame Curie and Nicolaus Copernicus are my favorite magnetic Poles
Thank you! Instantly enjoying the intersection of science and history!
Science and history! Good thing we're "libtards" because those two subjects are unknown in the MAGAverse and elsewhere in conservative dimensions
I like Paderewski and Sobiesky meself
Chopin, anyone?
Yes, I'll have some Chopin please
Well stroked Doc!
Good one!
Can’t help but call out this semi-ironic comment, on a blog that praises the leader of the same church that tried to erase Copernicus’ accomplishments (and literally erased his epitaph for 400 years.)
Truly we are through the looking glass.
Face it. We've entered Star Trek's "Mirror Universe."
Good one!
Good one George — nothing wrong with mixing a little science in now and then!
IOW, hell hath done frozen over? ;)
“America’s Grudgemaster General”. 10/10 perfection. 😎
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What is he now, 1-for-65 in these lawsuits?
Still waiting for Melania's threatened suit aimed at Hunter Biden for A BILLION DOLLAHS
?
I've lost the train somewhere, what is she claiming against Hunter?
I think defamation. Hunter claims she was fixed up with DonOld by ol' Epstein himself. I don't think Hunter is claiming JE banged her first but I have heard that idea bandied about by some wags.
I don't care who had Melania first, second or third. There are more important things to worry about. Is he going to nuke Iran? Someone said he knows he is dying, and if he is dying, he wants everyone to die.
No argument there. She is a cold, heartless, scheming witch in any case.
Thanks, Doc!
I bet that this is another one of the drumpf empty threats, because even civil suits require discovery, which will expose even more dirty laundry. Even she is not stupid enough to want that.
And still there are media outlets that cave to him, putting more money into his tiny, money-grubbing hands. Did no one learn the story of the Emperor's New Clothes?
Short answer, NO! But wait until he's finally gone and watch all those cowardly bastards suddenly recover their "principles."
The power of Christ compels him Jeff.
https://thistleandmoss.com/p/what-survives-the-morning-pope-leo-tells-trump-to-sit-the-fuck-down
His mother "sews socks that smell."
that's a deep cut
Like Snoop says, "I like to put some paint where it ain't."
Maybe we should all tell our kids/grandkids to report themselves as trans - that way they don't have to go fight his wars for him. Because a draft is definitely in their future with Kegstand in charge.
🥳
Hahahahahahaha! 😁
ha ha ha
What a conundrum. The WSJ fought Trump’s suit, instead of settling, like ABC and CBS News did. So does that mean I have to support the WSJ for their fearlessness?
this really *was* a round of 'What The Fuck Am I Waking Up To Today?,' because I went to bed last night intending to write more about Donny's blockade of the blockade — and then I woke up to Donny's Jesus tweet and his beef with the Pope ...
trump keeps saying "I don't want a Pope" this, and "I don't want a Pope" that. Just like him, he thinks the Pope belongs to him. What a jack-ass.
Midterms, people. Let's get the attendance to beat 80%.
"Strong men, with tears in their eyes, tell me, 'Sir! I wish you were the Pope.' And if I ran for Pope I would win."
He had that meme of himself in papal attire before Leo was chosen. He's jealous.
He’s about a Christian as much as I am - and I go to Seders every year!
I just heard that Trump is saying he was supposed to be a doctor in that AI picture of him posing as Jesus. He can’t understand how the fake news came up with saying he was trying to look like Jesus. It was all about the Red Cross he said because “we support that”. He really thinks we’re all as dumb as his maga base.
He's way too dumb to know when he's been played
And is trapped in the mess that he alone has made
So as always the idiot clown
Will grandiosely double down
And put Iran on Double Secret Blockade
Ignore the Bombast bloviator. When you see or hear his miserable excuse for "words" follow Melania's advice "I don't care. Do you?" Praise the Hungarians. Believe the Pope's Message of Peace and caring for the less fortunate than us. Find a candidate you like and support them through Nov. Bring your friends. Save the America we love.
Love the Animal House reference!
Let's paraphrase Dean Wormer: Fat, greedy, and stupid is no way to go through life, DonOld
Chef’s kiss!
OUTSTANDING!!!
You got me Doc! Next it will be “Double Secret Probation” and we’ll really be in trouble.
Yeah, the blockade of the blockade has sent us full twilight zone episode. And spot on, regarding this:
“fascism wants you demoralized. fascism wants you to give up. that’s how fascism wins.”
I love blocking social media accounts that essentially promote the narrative that all is lost and that we should give up and there’s no alternative to these people.
then you may also have woken up to the news that Orban was defeated in a landslide.
no, Orban's defeat was like three in the afternoon, New York time
He has to change his name now, to Luszer Orbán
😂
Attaboy, Luszer!
Has Phatso commented on Orban's defeat? How many times can he play the Election Fraud card? Maybe HE has no cards to play?
"He lost? Barely knew the man."
"I should have gone to Hungary myself, instead of sending Vance. Vance is very weak. I don't know how he got into a position of power."
That was Happy Dance time!
I'll admit to curiosity as to Orban's reasons for allowing a fair election, if he was really the authoritarian leader that people claimed he was. Haven't heard of any possible tampering there, but we certainly can't afford to assume that our own regime will allow the same.
If trump tries to stop the voting, all hell will break loose, LIKE NOONE HAS EVER SEEN BEFORE.
I'm ready, broom and all.
It was the couchfucker curse for sure😂
I've heard the new guy "leans right", which concerns me . . .
Magyar was a member of Fidesz, and is a center-right guy. Just not as right-leaning as Orbán, and not anywhere near as corrupt. He still believes in Orbán's anti-immigrant positions.
He's also pro-Europe, which could be good for Ukraine.
Yes, picture me surprised also, that there was no skull duggery happening!
My thought was, "What does Orban have up his sleeve? He conceded so quickly---what is he planning?"
elseweb: Trump finally reveals his health-care plan
And it's only for white people. Sorry, Scott, Donalds, Cheung, Patel, et al.
Jeff, you missed the monster from Stranger things in the sky. Doesn't get more Christian than rando monsters, right?
Ha! He deleted the post!
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/apr/13/trump-ai-image-christ-like-figure-backlash?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
I love how The Guardian compares Biblical Jesus’ healing the sick to the Mad King’s cuts to Medicaid.
And the final quote from someone responding to Trump’s post: “God, we might have made a mistake and accidentally elected the Antichrist. Send help.” 😂😂
WaPo would never.
I don’t read any newspapers from the US. Only Substack and The Guardian.
Some wag on a FarceBook page said Trump was finally unveiling his health care plan.
WTF was he talking about concerning the Pope in 2020? Pope Leo was not the Pope then!
You just never know what happens when the orange idiot pretends to go to bed. He’d rather tweet the shit out of truth unsocial!
The curse of the grift that keeps on grifting.
The sky's the limit for batshittery when you're protected by Murc's Law!
My memory is a bit hazy, remind me again who was president during COVID when "they were arresting priests, ministers, and everybody else"? Oh yeah, it was... oh my, that is embarrassing isn't it? Good thing it never happened.
My bet is the horned thing in the sky behind Jesus H. Trump is supposed to be the Statue of Liberty though it does remind me more of Cthulhu.
We live in interesting times in the Chinese curse sort of way...
That should lock up the Catholic vote for the midterms.
Right? Slapped upside my head by five - five! - different outrages this morning. Not sure how much more we can take.
I am so curious as to the prompt he gave. Because that sure looks like Epstein he's bringing back from the dead.
Jeff, I love all your posts, but the guy who wrote this takes the cake: “let’s Budapest this motherfucker”! Love it!
that's "TV's Dr. Frank" from Mystery Science Theatre 3000
First, Colin Robinson references and now MST3K? To paraphrase Rooster Cogburn, "You remind me of ME."
I would love to catch any random episode of Mystery Science Theatre!
and is fat (but the benevolent expression, that's WEIRD)
At least we know the painting is an accurate depiction of Trump since he’s helping only white people.
The guy he's healing here looks like Epstein, is trumpjesus raising him from the dead?
Freudian AI.
And with the hand he keeps hidden in every desk photo?
Maybe he magically healed his own rotting hand before he laid it on Epstein-ish.
I thought so, too! Weird of him to resurrect Epstein…
Especially since Melania just did that on Thursday at her news conference.
It’s the only scam he was involved with in his life that made money and it was as a PIMP!
Pleasuring from the dead.
Weirdly, I thought it looked like John Stewart. But I could go with Epstein. Not enough coffee this morning.
Totally going with John Stewart. Did you see Trump claim he wasn't depicting himself as Jesus, but as a doctor?
So sorry, Owens, Donalds, Scott, Patel, Cheung, Ramaswamy, and all the rest of you delusional non-white MAGAs. You get the drumpf healthcare plan after all: nothing
Mike, you float like a butterfly and sting like a bee! Keep stinging and “Keep on Truckin”!
Another (unnecessary) piece of evidence to how stupid MAGA is: trump's been mocking Christianity in words and action for years, but it takes a picture for the idiots to understand.
He insults all of Islam with his "Praise Be to Allah" sneer last week and now nauseates Christians with his self-adolatrous incarnation as Jesus. What's next -- AI slop depicting Buddha as his beloved Kim Jong Un? (Whoever his MAGA artist is, the LSD therapy must be 24/7.)
And for all his supposed concern about antisemitism he's been insulting Jews for years.
But it makes little sense, since they were the MAGA who adamantly claimed he was elected by Jesus. And he's posted AI memes along those lines prior to this one. Is Hegseth (Mr Holy War) behind these social media posts?
I gotta say, the only thing that surprises me is that they picked *this particular* AI bullshit picture to get all upset about
They'd have been okay with it had he been pillow-smothering a black or brown child.
MAGA thinks fine art is the paint by numbers kits we played with as kids.
Woah - my wife still does those! They now hang at the Art Institute of Chicago….
well, that’s what I call my garage.
Funny Dave‼️🤭
I have a set of horses I painted at age 7 hanging in my office. They still look pretty good if I do say so myself. 😁
How right you are!
The lady across the street is a wildly "good Catholic". She's even brought 6 daughters into the world. She's also a bit of a loon and a Trumper. I'm about two inches away from asking her how she likes Trumps attack on her Pope. And if she's gonna hang a print of Trump Jesus on her wall. 🙄
These fucking people. 🤦♀️
DO. IT.
Ya know, I wont be in the neighborhood much longer (back to Missouri) ...if I have a martini and she's out in the yard, I just might. 😂😂
Is there someway we can encourage you? I’m sure some folks would be glad to chip in for a home delivery 🍸
Go for it, I would! Cheers 📢🍸
You rock Susan! You remind me of my mom and she was a saint!
Your mom must have been prolific with swear words. HAHAH!
Do it, then report back!
Well, a lot of Catholics don't agree with (like) any Pope whose observations or comments have a liberal bent.
Yes, I remember former GOP Speaker of the House (and former VP candidate) Paul Ryan castigating Pope Francis over his advocacy for the poor and care of the Earth, saying he should stay in his lane and stick to things in the church's wheelhouse like abortion and same-sex marriage. You know — things a bunch of celibate men are experts in.
Anastasia, the knife is sharp and it cuts deep. Keep it sharp
And Couchfuck killed the last Pope just by visiting with him. The Pope died the next day!
Leo needs to stay as far away from JD as possible. 😂
A principle that applies to all
Including furniture.
Usha should also get the heck away from him.
Y'know, fuck Usha. She's making her deals with the devil just like Melania.
I think you may be right.
I suggested earlier that JD should dress as the Grim Reaper from now on, it's only fair to warn everyone when Death is in the area! 💀
JD should follow the Orange Clown around day and night until he kicks the proverbial bucket. Let's not waste any time. My prosecco is chilling and I am ready to sign, "Ding Dong Trump is dead, which old Trump the fuckface Trump, ding dong the Orange Clown is dead"
Yeah, JD, visit the Orange Douchecanoe next!!!
I gifted my friends with a candle that read, "LIGHT WHEN HE'S GONE". My friends and I are very hopeful this will come to pass, soon.
Oh, I've got to get one of those for my BFF
JD does look like an undertaker.
Hillbilly Elegy. Right there in front of us.
The internet is now calling it Hillbilly Eulogy.
Yep again the couchfucker curse😁
He fashions himself after Jesus
He's boogers and snot-pouring sneezes
Deluded and crazy
And spoiled and lazy
He's an old man who's tired and wheezes.
His kids are moronical too
They'd be better off 'sleep in a zoo
Jared's a dick
Don Junior is sick
And Eric's IQ's 32!
Good one, Frosty! Mine is not funny like yours, but here goes:
Predator Swalwell withdrew
It's the morally correct thing to do
So why the "party of family values" keeps
Their two White House and Pentagon predator creeps
The same standard should obviously hold true
(FFS, it goes without saying.)
I'm still having a Big Sad over Swalwell. My God, men are so easily corrupted by the mighty lady parts. No lofty goal is enough when there is a quickie available. Grow up.
Every time this sort of thing happens, my wife rolls her eyes in disgust and breaks out her standard refrain: "Another stupid man." I have nothing but agreement to offer
I love your wife.
So do I. Although she too affirms what you just did: that far, far too often men think with their genitals and exhibit truly narcissistic tendencies. Again, I can raise no rebuttal.
"Me have penis. Woman must submit." Idiots....
This continues to happen when men think(?) with the “little” head and not the “big” head….
When a man in Swalwell's position "cavorts" amongst the young women the way he apparently has done...is it 100% about sex? I don't think so. Definitely not excusing his depraved proclivities, but I think there's got to be other mental crap going on--power tripping or compulsive quest for new and different to assuage inadequacies or reassure himself that he's hetero? For someone is his position to take advantage of young women is sick and vile.
Regardless, if people who knew him well, knew about this they should have hauled him off and given him hell about what could--and inevitably WOULD--happen and then marched him into a psychologist's office for some serious counseling.
Sexual assault isn't about sex, it's about power.
They're predators.
There must be a power trip thing involved
I think the fact that the staff quit immediately says alot. If it's true , rumors had already gone around and they know him better than we do.
Why can't they keep their pants zipped? Even when they're in dying days they have their hands on their dicks. I used to see it frequently when I worked in acute care. I once asked my late husband why. His answer was because you women having taken everything from us men and that's all we have left.
So sorry to have taken away the cooking, childcare, shopping, cleaning that men have done for centuries. So I guess having all that free time turns a man into a sexual predator.
As long as you women don’t take my poker weekends with the boyz.
Felt the same way about John Edwards.
Boy, he crashed and burned. And wife with cancer. A class act. Gary Hart also arrogantly flamed out.
I think it's a result of entitlement and narcissism. I read the one account of all of this and I'm wondering - how are our daughters being raised? To get so drunk you are not able to protect yourself? To be assaulted and still continue to work for the guy? Certainly doesn't excuse male behavior. Excessive drinking is not a woman's friend. I'm a boomer so I wasn't of the era that women and men were "equal". Equal in the sense that we can enjoy the same freedoms of men like not watching our drinks in a bar, walking alone at night, not locking our doors. We have to be raised to protect ourselves.

I also would have believed he was innocent. I think the timing screams Roger Stone. Lee Atwater is dead so cant blame him.
Maybe Swallwell is innocent?
Yeah, I agree wholeheartedly. And what is it with these men who do this type of thing over and over and over?!
😆Frosty, good one.
Jeff, according to last nights timeline he posted on his site from 9:50pm until 4:00am.. he’s sundowning, no moral compass attacking the Pope and depicting himself as JC, making sure to offend most who follow that faith.. not my tribe but still reprehensible to say the least. Very happy Orbán loses his big election with Donald, JD and Putin backing him… My question… will Orban take a dacha in Moscow or relocate in Florida near Mar el Lardo? Best to All Fellow Travelers.
Truly! I'm not Christian and I'm offended.
Same here. There are lines you do not cross.
Only if you have any sense of self-awareness, probity, and sanity.
Yeah, well...
Good riddance Viktor Orban
You're leaving all too late
The populace has tired
Of your oppression and your hate
Perhaps one of your dictator pals
Will soon reach out to you
And offer you a high window somewhere
Make sure to enjoy the view
Good Morning Doc.. another in depth prose and I’m here for it… especially your reference to high story windows 😃😃😃 just a suggestion, could you work in some poison, the same that killed Russian dissidents? Thanks…
Hmm, will work on it. Although Navalny, Litvinenko, Novichok, and Polonium are gonna be hard to rhyme, haha
Orban will not be welcome at Mar-a-Lardo. He's a loser.
Not exactly true - Brazil's Jose Bolsonaro became a Mar-a-Largo regular after being defeated in Brazil.
Bolsonaro fomented an insurrection. Orban conceded. So a loser, in SShitler's eyes
Yes for a minute and now he's in prison. We can only hope Orban has the same fate.
Well, he has a LOT of money. He can buy his way in if he wants to. I doubt that he would feel comfortable in Floridah. There aren't that many people who speak Hungarian around the south.
Bet Melania does! 😂 Although I'm not sure how often she might grace Florida with her presence.
That's good since Melania doesn't speak English.
True. Donny would never have done something so in keeping with proper protocol as to resign when voted out. Donny would probably have forced Magyar physically haul him out of the office.
I am betting on Florida.
No thank you! We've reached our fascists quota. We have several to spare if anyone wants them. Free shipping!
There is no way in hell that this pudding cup wrote this. It's either AI or the evil vampire Miller has usurped Trump's "Truth" Social account. He can't complete a full sentence or thought.
100% In person, Donnie Demento cannot complete a sentence and his vocabulary is becoming more simplistic by the day; he struggles to articulate words he was able to say a month ago. While the Psycho Social posts reflect his hate-filled insanity, he is not the author. He cannot even be the one dictating the posts.
I haven't heard Steven Cheung speak long enough to say he's the one posting, although what I have heard/read from him is equally unhinged. I have heard way too much from Nosferatu, and his psychotic hysteria in interviews does match the tone, vocabulary, and style of the Demento screeds.
He has aides to take dictation from him, but there really isn't much cleanup between his demented rambles and how it gets typed up.
My vote is FL, but he'll raid the coffers first so he can buy into the mad king's properties in Miami where all the Russian oligarchs live with their (anchor) baby mamas.
Well, we know Putin woke up to a very bad day. Orban was his slobbering puppet and now all Vlad has left is Poland to stack up against the Euro-led NATO. (He's abandoned the stinking landfill that is Trump and MAGA.)
Wondering what's going to happen to the cozy Orban/Trump relationship now. Will Orban get the coffee-boy treatment?
"Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is RIGHT OUT. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it."
Sorry, it's a tic that MPHG quoters have to quote it when we see it.
Donny's fronto-temporal dementia is progressing quite rapidly and also too damn slow. Couchfuck McGee needs to pay a visit to Trump's arteries next.
I'm the same way with "strange women lying in ponds," I compulsively have to recite the entire monologue
"some moistened bint" has always been a favorite at our house.
Yeah, both Holy Grail and Big Lebowski are rife with quotable lines. They are my top two (with Tombstone—“I’ll be your huckleberry”—a close third). My sons and I toss memes and lines back and forth. But, the anarcho-syndicalist scene pushes my poli sci button—“the repression inherent in the system.”
"This aggression will not stand" and "Shut up, Donnie!" both seem very applicable right now.
I have mumbled, “Shut up, Donnie,” many times. Sounds like a good sign for the next protest (and I have many already).
The. whole. thing. My 15 yo daughter would say it's cringe. I say it's classic.
I had to google that scene to refresh my memory--YES! Watery tarts and/or moistened bints should never just hand over swords to rando knights! Y'all might just end up like us! (or U.S.)
"Lad, some day all this will be yours."
"What, the curtains?"
(mimicking Leia) Help us cholesterol, you're our only hope!
That made me snort my coffee LOL
He's been farting and worse in our general direction for 11 years now
Well...Orban is more of a man than trump because at least he conceded to his opponent, more than trump did when he lost to Biden. I guess we'll have to wait and see if Orban eventually says the election he lost was rigged.
Also, what did it cost the taxpayers of the United States for J.D. to fly to Hungary to endorse Orban. Talk about waste, fraud, and abuse.
"he’s a— very liberal person"
🤣🤣🤣
He sure is! Nearly a Socialist, like Jesus was!
I just know he wanted to say the Pope was a “radical liberal lunatic” but held back…
He never holds back. He must have glitches due to his rotting brain.
Maybe Sue he’s was in the middle of a “ long blink”- happens a lot !
Nah. It's on a wheel, and will come back around just like his squirrels always do.
Makes sense that Donnie Dumbfuck hates the Pope — evil always hates its rival.
MAGA is now ok with pedophilia and condemnation by the Pope. I think it’s pretty clear the sides of good and evil, if it wasn’t already clear that is.
The Book of Revelation remains correct
But now I have to worry that some evil maga nutcase might try and assassinate Pope Leo.
Wasn't he president during covid? He was having priests and ministers arrested?
Great point! As Chris Hayes likes to point out, Trump and his backers act like 2020 didn't happen, wasn't part of the first administration.
It's occurred to me that it might have been better for us if he'd won in 2020. They wouldn't have had 4 whole years (of Biden) to plan for the super fast implementation of Project 2025, including choosing and installing a cabinet full of cretins who were chomping at the bit to take immediate and total control.
🎯
I consider myself a free thinking agnostic, but I love this current pope from Chicago. As Jim Croce sang back in 1973, “the south side of Chicago is the baddest part of town . . . “ Pope Leo is from the south side of Chicago. The dipshit taco trump better not mess with his holiness.
I love him too, and I'm literally a card-carrying atheist
I’m probably more atheist too, I have a degree in science and I need to see empirical evidence.
Bingo.
Same here!
I'm ready to go to church.
Hard same on all counts.
Between the Pope and the people of Hungary - I'm feeling pretty fucking "Let's GOOOOOOO" this morning. Throw in a few Evangelicals pissed about that Jesus meme, and today is a VERY GOOD DAY.
Hallelujah! (said the lapsed Episcopalian mostly atheist old broad) 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
