Why does Hungary get a leader who can dance like that and we get Trump who looks like he's stroking off a couple of dudes?!?
SIGH
Well, Jeff, thanks for that clip anyhow, because THAT IS WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE STREETS ACROSS AMERICA. I don't even have to mention WHEN, either!
Show of hands for how many of us have a bottle chilling in the fridge waiting for the day when we have an ex-president, when he is "pining for the fjords" (thanks for the reference Jeff...all time fave).
Champagne? Don't get me wrong, but I'm going to need very very cold vodka (in honor of the late lamented's Muscovite handler). I've a plan if we get the news in the dead of night. Wrap on the bathrobe, go out and start the car, and start honking. Starting the engine is an important detail, because I don't want to wear out the car battery honking. Wakey wakey neighbors! Out of bed and enjoy the day the good lord has made for us. Up and attem, no work, drink! I live a 35 minute ride from San Francisco, and I know they can throw a better street party than the one they threw in '10 to celebrate the Giants winning the world series. And that was one hell of a civic party, I must say.
My dream is to get the news while eating in a restaurant in our beautiful Roman neighborhood of Parioli and I will say, "Prosecco for everyone. It is on my husband and me."
I'm DYING to ask my MAGA neighbour if she ordered one of those fugly phones (she stays literally glued to hers and LUBS her orange dear leader despite being both 1) broke most of the time and 2) hispanic - BUT Puerto Rican, which SHE seems to believe will make a difference if she's challenged by ice. Since they don't give a damn about Purple Heart recipients, elderly mothers, small children - why would they care about her being the 'right kind'? Hubby said she doesn't have the money to buy one of those. Since when has that stopped the cultists from falling for the flim-flam man's scams? In her case she'd come up with an excuse for why she hadn't yet gotten hers and I'd guarantee that at least a few of them would fake a gold one just to prove they weren't scammed, despite it being obvious.
Of course it should - but HE was the one who first - didn't know that Puerto Rico was a territory of the US, THEN didn't know Puerto Ricans were citizens, THEN insulted them by tossing rolls of paper towels to people literally drowning. She forgave all of that - switched from loving Puerto Rico (where her parents came from) to dumping on it because he did. AND your point about ice rounding up American citizens - even murdering them is well taken: Renee Good and Alex Pretti? They've grabbed up people who not only fought FOR our Country, but who did military tour after tour AND suffered awful war injuries. ALL ice cares about is IF the person looks hispanic. That's the edict - now spread to: any and all non-whites. Grabbed up violently, shipped to private prisons (puts money in the owners' pockets - miller just happens to own at least one of those private prisons!) and then these people are 'disappeared'.
Trump doesn’t see Puerto Ricans as citizens. They speak Spanish so they’ll get swept in with all the other Hispanics that he and Markwayne hate. Makes no difference to them. They don’t understand it(citizenship)so they don’t have to recognize it in anyone they don’t like. Scary but that’s the current state of our world these days.
Let’s all meet in DC and crack open the champagne when we are finally rid of these facists. We can volunteer to be on dancing work crews removing any trace of the festering pustule from government buildings. A nice dream!
The only time there will have been a party as big is when Obama was inaugurated—that fact will sting as he watches from his prison cell.
And we’ll raise a toast to Claudia and Jeff, while we are at it.
Said it yesterday---I'd hop a Greyhound with a mini sledge for the chance to pound on the parking lot over the Rose Garden. Would also be willing to take a paint roller to the Reflecting Pool to restore it to its former self.
The whole world celebrated when Biden won, it had people dancing in the streets everywhere. I watched it live, but it is really hard to find those videos now.
I would also like this Roma lesbian singer to come and sing for us a song where I heard the words in English, "Change needs to happen" and "So we can be free." While those words were not put together into one sentence, I could do that now. That the minister of health has enthusiasm to be rid of the old government was so clear in his exuberant dancing.
Even better for the EU, Hungary just passed a bill that Hungary had been holding up, so posting a flag of the EU, is part of Magyar's PR that he needs to do to get the money from the EU that Orbán was not getting because he is such a blatant thief. I am sure he is on his way to the US if not here already. Also, Poland had a far right criminal former politician leave Hungary and he ended up in the US right before Magyar was sworn in. He is supposedly working as US correspondent for a far-right Polish publication, but Poland is asking for him to be extradited, which Orbán was not going to do. So Hungary is no more a haven for the craven in the far-right. The US now gets that honor unless we protest.

As a dancer, I never understood the "white people can't dance" trope. Then I saw the jerk-off thing, Tangerine Palpatine does like he is having a seizure, now I get it.
We know what will be the only thing that will allow us that level of pure joy. I keep fearing that they have done something truly terrifying like cloning the Dear Leader, since there is such a level of twisted worship.

Miselle, I was thinking if we could have a new Health Minister I would be dancing like that too. My book club watched a video produced by an independent Hungarian station and the people interviewed were complaining about the economy in general, but specifically schools, transportation and health care. They were complaining that going to a hospital there was no toilet paper in the bathrooms. That is how big a thief Orban was, and how big a thief Trump is. Just so we see where things can lead with 16 years of such illiberal leadership.

It’d be worth it. I’d be more than glad to donate a few gallons to the Destroy Donnie Dimwit’s Decadent Dance Hall National Memorial Bonfire. Let’s do it!
YES! Mother's Day must be especially difficult - but those precious photos are fan-tabulous. They do MY heart good - nearly as much as Jeff's posts keep me sane.
I was waiting for you this morning. Usually I’m late to the game. Today I was logged in early looking for you. Happy Mother’s Day to Claudia. Hugs to you Jeff. 💗
as I have said every time - and I think it's ok if I speak for all of us here - we can't get enough...your words are part of my morning ritual and my morning attempt at 'sanity'...and my hope is that adding the "Daily Claudia" is therapeutic for you...have a great day and write on!
YES, but seeing Claudia's photos are therapeutic for so many of US as well and we know we're sharing in Jeff's feelings which makes it all the more emotional. So many are going or have gone through similar losses which they likely wouldn't have mentioned had he not been so open about her loss and his mourning. We truly have become a family of like-minded people here, bound together by our love for Jeff's writings and his ability to keep us sane (at least in my case - otherwise I'd spend my day yelling FUCK at the top of my lungs instead of smiling when another of his SO funny bon mots pops into my head). :)
I especially love the way you laugh at this idiot. I get so annoyed by writers who, even when criticizing, pretend that he is not a malignant senile old fart.
We gleaned at least two GOOD pieces of news: brand new Prime Minister Magyar and those precious photos of Claudia and Katie. Oh, and the golden phones. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
The reflecting pool not so much, but this too shall pass. Somehow. Happy Mothers Day to all the Moms and wannabe moms. You all count.
I don't know why it can't? We SHOULD be able to fine him and his devil spawn at least 2 BILLION dollars to call in architects/those who specialize in fixing antique buildings - to replace it all based on plans/drawings from when it was first built/added on. They can NOT be allowed to get away with this skullduggery and even if he's already kicked the bucket, his spawn must be forced to pay for replacing OUR White House as it was AND remove every inkling of his poison from that building. I don't give a rat's ass about his fucking 'ballroom'. They can turn it into a school for impoverished children while the 'bunker' underneath could be good storage for all of their school supplies. The fucking 'ballroom' would certainly be big enough to encapsulate a kitchen to provide free meals for the kids whose families don't have the wherewithal to feed them properly. Now THAT would be putting something awful to good use OR tear the entire fucking thing down at his and his spawn's cost. We so need to eradicate every sign of this wanna-be mad 'king'.
I believe the East Wing can be rebuilt. Architectural archives. A plethora of photographs and sheer cussed orneriness can go a long way toward restoring it. Hell, I'll bet there are millions of people who would be willing to pitch in. I HATE that he destroyed it and nobody stopped him.
Linda, I think we mean the same thing: we know the actual original walls, floors and ceilings can't be reassembled, but it can be replicated (I think is the word we're searching for) without the fuckwit's gaudy bullshit imprinted on it. There ARE experts in replacing/redoing original buildings which have been knocked down or even damaged by termites/asbestos, etc. Jan's right: the original drawings/plans are 'somewhere' and can be utilized to rebuild it all AS LONG AS we make him and his disgusting greedy spawn pay every penny to do the rebuilding. THEN we put up a plaque specifying that this REBUILT part of the people's White House was necessitated due to the dumbest precedent in American History tearing it down without ANY permission from the People of The United States.
I'm the crazy old lady who has a shrine to all her fur babies. I have two daughters who never had children but they have 7 kitties combined, and they're the best mommies. Thanks, Elizabeth, for pointing that out.
You're very welcome - it's also a wee bit self-serving on my part since my entire life has been raising multiple kitties and now my doggos as well. :) they've brought me SO much joy and I'm assuredly their Mom as well. Happy Mother's Day (a wee bit late) to all of us fur-baby moms! :)
I love everything you send! Hungary’s new health minister dancing made me LOL for the first time in a long time… Thank you for that! I would dearly love to feel that sort of joy again… And your Mother’s Day tribute to Claudia made me feel a deeper, lasting joy… The quiet joy of life that keeps me pushing on through these days. Peace to you.
You can NOT write enough! Don't you know that WE wait with bated breath for whatever you want to talk about on any given day? Today's was a doozy, especially those non-existent fucking fake phones! I had NO idea! How that fucking family manages to get away with scamming his magat cultists is so beyond me - WHEN will they wake up? Or is it a case of: the more they're conned, the more entrenched they become because they feel SO foolish they cannot admit how dumb he's made them? Peter Magyar and HIS Health Services dancing guy is so damn special AND fun - can't we trade rfkjr for him for just a wee while - maybe he'll get lost on the return trip? "oh look, there's a big shark, maybe I can cut off its head - hand me my chainsaw...just a LITTLE bit further, OOPS! HALP!' glug, glug, glug...
I will be by your side tearing down all that gold 💩, as soon as the oath of office is finished. We’ll listen to it online so we don’t have to wait one second to start getting the WH back to OUR HOUSE!!!!!!!
We're all eagerly awaiting the news that he is no longer among the living. I don't want to hear any BS from anyone that we should show respect because he was the president. He showed no respect for the American people, to the buildings and memorials that belong to we the people. To the spineless GOP weasels who've allowed him to run roughshod, fuck off.
Oh, and Happy Mother's Day. Thank you Jeff for the lovely photos of your beloved Claudia.
Recall that Hump is the guy responsible for 350,000 American deaths because he said Covid would disappear magically in 4 to 6 weeks. If a maniac sets your house on fire and prevents the fire department from putting it out FOR 10 YEARS, it’s OK to breathe a sigh of relief, clap, dance, or celebrate in any way you need to when the maniac is captured and the fire is extinguished.
Did ANY of the fuckwits check to see if someone was trying out their address in shells on the beach? I bet not. AND, btw, I've known for ages that to '86' something or someone was to kick them out of a bar, kick them out of a class for bad behaviour, prevent them from getting a promotion or graduating with the rest of their peers BECAUSE they were so ill-mannered or just plain boors. That these morons took that as a 'threat' shows their level of stupidity.
Eactly this - the same fucker who racially insulted PRESIDENT Barack Obama, then went after PRESIDENT Joseph Biden expects US to be 'respectful' to his sorry ass? I think not! They can bitch and whine all they want, I will NEVER pay the tiniest bit of 'respect' to anyone who's never given any - to anyone, AND been so horrid to women, most particularly Black women. He and his 'you should respect him because he's the president' morons can kiss my ass.
Beautiful photos of Claudia and Katie…❤️❤️. The de-Donnification of America will likely have the entire country (excluding cultish magas) helping with the beautification of America! Let’s hope it starts SOON! Happy Mother’s Day!
First of all, those are lovely photos of one of the best experiences in the world..having a baby. Perfect for Mother’s Day. ❤️
I actually enjoy reading about the racist monsters getting grifted by their own. HaHa! Wearing the golden diapers and the mini-pads on their ears shows how extreme the psychological sickness is. “Real Men Wear Diapers” You have to be 2 miles past demented to be seen in such laughably stupid bullshit. But thanks for the Mother’s Day laughs Jeff!
While I have absolutely no problem with trans folks, I continue to look at that MAGAt wearing the diaper and think "that's GOT to be a dude" and wonder why they were okay with that?
Seriously--am I the only person who thinks that can't possibly be a MAGAette?
Miselle, I heard it said, from a reliable source, that if your gaze falls upon Trump (lustfully or not) you do not turn to stone but you definitely turn gay; and if you look a second time you turn trans. This is definitely a good thing…could turn the tide in the midterms. (Please don’t spill the beans to diaper Don)
I have a suggestion for a correction the the diaper verbiage, I suggest Adult-ish diaper when we’re talking about donOld anyway. As long as I getting things off my mind those phones and that grift, so I read it all I was going to scream RICO right away then they write that disclaimer where they admit the grift! You don’t make up your own meanings for a legal disclaimer! It’s absurd those rubes made a commitment in the form of a down payment they should get a shitty phone. Somebody knock down J Edger Boozer’s ™ door slap him around then he needs to indict the obvious grift, the case is made.
That's what a lifetime of heavy smoking and hard drinking plus shitty diet and fake tanning plus watching FOX 24/7 can do. I can just hear the gutteral, scratchy voice that would emanate from such a specimen, puncuated by uncontrollable coughing.
True rlritt. Private parts seem to scare republicans to death. Can we lock them all up with therapists and let them out when they’ve “learned”. They should be able to “learn” in 10 or 20 years don’t you think. That will hopefully give us enough time to undo all the things they’ve fucked up.
Don’t you love how republicans wag their finger at the “little people” and tell us it’s our fault that we are poor or gay or whatever and that we just need to “learn”? I guess we all could learn more about pussy grabbing…maybe dear leader could give us a master class on that — he claims he’s a pro at it.
And you'd think when he said yesterday "I dont care about inflation" it would turn people off, but his MAGA are such submissive, they will accept that he is making billions and they are struggling.
It's interesting that the image of the reflecting pool is bright blue, you would think that the stupid MFer would realize that's what's coming in November............. a blue wave. Why isn't it gold like every other GD thing within eyesight.
You’re right Bill. He really missed the boat here — he could have painted it gold with his giant sharpie signature in the bottom from one end to the other…and with a giant Donnie statue rising up from the bottom like the Kraken.
You’re right Cathy; but, on the other hand, he doesn’t read so i think I’m safe (unless one of his goons reads it). You know he doesn’t read the responses from the Iranians to his “peace” (of shit) plans. He has one of his flunkies read them (one that can read) and he falls asleep half way through and then someone wakes him up and he gives his predetermined response.
Why are we letting a five year old determine the course of history.
He really is an evil Chauncey Gardner.
Someone please wake me up because I’m having a horrible nightmare that has ghastly trolls and stormtroopers burning the people and raping the towns.
And it looks like his pick to do the job is using individual cans of spray paint. What a shitty job they’re doing. Omg. But it’s like painting a runway with a toothbrush. I think it’ll be possible to paint it cement colored after, you know, when he’s in the gold bordello in the depths of hell.
True Bill but he’ll stiff the contractor either way — it won’t matter if the contractor did a good job or not. Of course, we’re the ones footing the bill so i guess the scenario is mute. We pay but have no say. It’s come full circle — taxation without representation. Our forefathers would be kicking our asses
I’m sure the phones will be delivered! Probably in about two weeks, along with Donny’s tax returns, the replacement for the ACA, the Epstein files and the end of the war in Iran.
And Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, stepmoms, pet moms and anyone else who celebrates! Jeff, I’m thinking of you and Kate on your first MD without your beloved Claudia.
Jeff, thanks for posting of your dear departed wife, I hope you find comfort in reviewing all the images you are able to review, you are a lucky man to have such memories. We need those moments of pleasure..Considering what u wrote about all the folks grifted on the phone scam.. Considering a new golden statue of Donald I have come to the conclusion that MAGAS are starting a new religion with the masses of MAGAS, preachers stating these are not false idols I am utterly perplexed. No different than Stalin, Mao, Jong Un, Gadafi, Idi Amen and on and on. I believe most Americans feel the same.. this administration is utterly void of concern for citizens.. it’s all a large con job and we are the mark.. Best to All Fellow Travellers..
Thank you for your kind words. I have not been in the MAGAS golf group for a couple of months. I expect to join them sometime this summer, a number are snow birds who have gone back to their other homes in Red states. Currently I’m visiting the Boston area on family business and everyone I have met are very very Blue.. even at Fenway today, all blue.. that gives me hope.
I'm on vacation with 3 friends that I don't see often. We never talk politics because I know they vote GOP. In the past, I'd hear a few political comments. Now nothing. They said a couple of comments about a couple Dems, but that was all. What is there left to say about Trump and his cabinet? Much quieter than when we saw each other the last time when Biden was president. No talk of gas prices or Iran. They know. It's probably the same with your golf buddies. There's nothing for them left to say. The worst Dem is better than the best Repub.
To once again quote noted journalist and unapologetic Anti-Semite, H.L. Mencken, no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence (or gullibility or amorality) of MAGA. And to quote Pete Townshend (Sally Simpson), "Don't say (we) didn't warn ya.'" As for that Hungarian dude, at no point in that amazing dance does he look like he's jerking-off two men at once. I must agree with everyone who posted that America's (and the world's) streets will be ablaze with similar celebrations when this horrible man FINALLY shuffles-off this mortal coil. It will make VJ Day look like a fuggin' tea party. The Buddha tells us to live in the present. Well, screw that. I live in the hope that everything this man has done will be summarily UNDONE. As Laura Nyro wrote, nothing cures like time and love.
Claudia and Katie photos are sweetness overload. Thank you are sharing with us. They made me smile.
Best lines of your article today: “this is a lesson for our next Democratic president: the de-Donnification of America has to begin immediately following the inauguration. no farting around. Donny’s fuckery has to be eradicated from the first second.”
I dream of Americans celebrating in the streets, in our homes, on our streets and weeping with total joy. Deep breaths til then. Let’s go!!
*finishes a post before 10:00am*
*runs around the house, punching my first in the air*
Why does Hungary get a leader who can dance like that and we get Trump who looks like he's stroking off a couple of dudes?!?
SIGH
Well, Jeff, thanks for that clip anyhow, because THAT IS WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE STREETS ACROSS AMERICA. I don't even have to mention WHEN, either!
And thanks again for sharing the photos with us.
Show of hands for how many of us have a bottle chilling in the fridge waiting for the day when we have an ex-president, when he is "pining for the fjords" (thanks for the reference Jeff...all time fave).
Champagne? Don't get me wrong, but I'm going to need very very cold vodka (in honor of the late lamented's Muscovite handler). I've a plan if we get the news in the dead of night. Wrap on the bathrobe, go out and start the car, and start honking. Starting the engine is an important detail, because I don't want to wear out the car battery honking. Wakey wakey neighbors! Out of bed and enjoy the day the good lord has made for us. Up and attem, no work, drink! I live a 35 minute ride from San Francisco, and I know they can throw a better street party than the one they threw in '10 to celebrate the Giants winning the world series. And that was one hell of a civic party, I must say.
I plan to drive around honking until I run out of gas and then I will call AAA.
My dream is to get the news while eating in a restaurant in our beautiful Roman neighborhood of Parioli and I will say, "Prosecco for everyone. It is on my husband and me."
See you there! Omg I can’t wait!!
Veuve Cliquot chilling in my fridge!
…and where do you live?
YES!! I'm with you....
I’ve got several. All just waiting for the day. I’m planning to have a party.
I'm DYING to ask my MAGA neighbour if she ordered one of those fugly phones (she stays literally glued to hers and LUBS her orange dear leader despite being both 1) broke most of the time and 2) hispanic - BUT Puerto Rican, which SHE seems to believe will make a difference if she's challenged by ice. Since they don't give a damn about Purple Heart recipients, elderly mothers, small children - why would they care about her being the 'right kind'? Hubby said she doesn't have the money to buy one of those. Since when has that stopped the cultists from falling for the flim-flam man's scams? In her case she'd come up with an excuse for why she hadn't yet gotten hers and I'd guarantee that at least a few of them would fake a gold one just to prove they weren't scammed, despite it being obvious.
Well, it should make a difference, since Puerto Ricans are US citizens, but this ICE is mess with US citizens, too, as we've seen...
Of course it should - but HE was the one who first - didn't know that Puerto Rico was a territory of the US, THEN didn't know Puerto Ricans were citizens, THEN insulted them by tossing rolls of paper towels to people literally drowning. She forgave all of that - switched from loving Puerto Rico (where her parents came from) to dumping on it because he did. AND your point about ice rounding up American citizens - even murdering them is well taken: Renee Good and Alex Pretti? They've grabbed up people who not only fought FOR our Country, but who did military tour after tour AND suffered awful war injuries. ALL ice cares about is IF the person looks hispanic. That's the edict - now spread to: any and all non-whites. Grabbed up violently, shipped to private prisons (puts money in the owners' pockets - miller just happens to own at least one of those private prisons!) and then these people are 'disappeared'.
ICE just grabs anyone who looks brown and then they let your family find you and start the process of getting you out whenever they get around to it.
Trump doesn’t see Puerto Ricans as citizens. They speak Spanish so they’ll get swept in with all the other Hispanics that he and Markwayne hate. Makes no difference to them. They don’t understand it(citizenship)so they don’t have to recognize it in anyone they don’t like. Scary but that’s the current state of our world these days.
Two citizens dead at ICE hands in Minnesota.
If you find out, please let us know.
Let’s all meet in DC and crack open the champagne when we are finally rid of these facists. We can volunteer to be on dancing work crews removing any trace of the festering pustule from government buildings. A nice dream!
The only time there will have been a party as big is when Obama was inaugurated—that fact will sting as he watches from his prison cell.
And we’ll raise a toast to Claudia and Jeff, while we are at it.
Said it yesterday---I'd hop a Greyhound with a mini sledge for the chance to pound on the parking lot over the Rose Garden. Would also be willing to take a paint roller to the Reflecting Pool to restore it to its former self.
I'll join you with a sledgehammer and paint.
Bet there will be a line around the Mall to remove all the orange ugliness.
I'm in! 🤸🤸🤸🤸
The whole world celebrated when Biden won, it had people dancing in the streets everywhere. I watched it live, but it is really hard to find those videos now.
I have a bottle of bubbly. Looking forward to that day.
✋🏼
A bottle of Prosecco in the fridge, and a 1997 vintage port in the cellar.
I would also like this Roma lesbian singer to come and sing for us a song where I heard the words in English, "Change needs to happen" and "So we can be free." While those words were not put together into one sentence, I could do that now. That the minister of health has enthusiasm to be rid of the old government was so clear in his exuberant dancing.

Agree! :-)
⬆️⬆️🎯👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Yes! Never mind a 'Blue Wave;' it will be a Blue Tsunami!
Martha & the Vandellas 'Dancing in the Street’.
“Everywhere around The World…”🎶🎼🎵❤️
They WILL be dancing all across the world!
I couldn’t have said it any better Miselle 👏🏻.
As a dancer, I never understood the "white people can't dance" trope. Then I saw the jerk-off thing, Tangerine Palpatine does like he is having a seizure, now I get it.

I couldn't sign through your link, so I went directly to the impeach Trump again website and signed!
Thank you, Miselle! ❤️
I'm with you on Day +1! I'll bring my chain saw and maul and axe and die grinder and a big ole can of gasoline. I can hardly fucking wait.
Careful with that gas. 20 bucks a gallon!
It’d be worth it. I’d be more than glad to donate a few gallons to the Destroy Donnie Dimwit’s Decadent Dance Hall National Memorial Bonfire. Let’s do it!
The decadent bunker where he can hide with his people after releasing nuclear holocaust. That bunker must not be allowed to be finished.
good one!
Thank you for each and every one of your posts. Helps to keep me sane (somewhat). Especially love that you share your precious pictures.
YES! Mother's Day must be especially difficult - but those precious photos are fan-tabulous. They do MY heart good - nearly as much as Jeff's posts keep me sane.
I definitely get it
Congrats!
You and political cartoonist, Michael de Adder, used the same Monty Python skit today.
Great minds…😂
Omg, Jeff. Thank you for this post. I’m dancing to Hungary and crying with you Claudia post. Thank you so much
Congratulations, but did you do a Chuck Berry duck walk like Hungary’s minister of health? Holy shit!
But, are you dressed?
🤣🤣🤣
I was waiting for you this morning. Usually I’m late to the game. Today I was logged in early looking for you. Happy Mother’s Day to Claudia. Hugs to you Jeff. 💗
Jeff, you're the best. Lovely Claudia and baby Katie photos perfect for Mother's Day!❤️
sorry to drop 1,632 words on you on Mother's Day. slow news days don't exist any more
Love your photos, Jeff! And you never have to apologize for anything here.🫀You have heart.
as I have said every time - and I think it's ok if I speak for all of us here - we can't get enough...your words are part of my morning ritual and my morning attempt at 'sanity'...and my hope is that adding the "Daily Claudia" is therapeutic for you...have a great day and write on!
YES, but seeing Claudia's photos are therapeutic for so many of US as well and we know we're sharing in Jeff's feelings which makes it all the more emotional. So many are going or have gone through similar losses which they likely wouldn't have mentioned had he not been so open about her loss and his mourning. We truly have become a family of like-minded people here, bound together by our love for Jeff's writings and his ability to keep us sane (at least in my case - otherwise I'd spend my day yelling FUCK at the top of my lungs instead of smiling when another of his SO funny bon mots pops into my head). :)
Perfectly said!
I especially love the way you laugh at this idiot. I get so annoyed by writers who, even when criticizing, pretend that he is not a malignant senile old fart.
Ha. That's putting it very, very mildly....
That’s the idea. Bury us in shit, so no one can concentrate on any particular crime
We gleaned at least two GOOD pieces of news: brand new Prime Minister Magyar and those precious photos of Claudia and Katie. Oh, and the golden phones. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
The reflecting pool not so much, but this too shall pass. Somehow. Happy Mothers Day to all the Moms and wannabe moms. You all count.
Well, at least the pool can be fixed when he's gone. The east wing can't. Can we at least hope that he will be charged with malicious destruction???
I don't know why it can't? We SHOULD be able to fine him and his devil spawn at least 2 BILLION dollars to call in architects/those who specialize in fixing antique buildings - to replace it all based on plans/drawings from when it was first built/added on. They can NOT be allowed to get away with this skullduggery and even if he's already kicked the bucket, his spawn must be forced to pay for replacing OUR White House as it was AND remove every inkling of his poison from that building. I don't give a rat's ass about his fucking 'ballroom'. They can turn it into a school for impoverished children while the 'bunker' underneath could be good storage for all of their school supplies. The fucking 'ballroom' would certainly be big enough to encapsulate a kitchen to provide free meals for the kids whose families don't have the wherewithal to feed them properly. Now THAT would be putting something awful to good use OR tear the entire fucking thing down at his and his spawn's cost. We so need to eradicate every sign of this wanna-be mad 'king'.
I believe the East Wing can be rebuilt. Architectural archives. A plethora of photographs and sheer cussed orneriness can go a long way toward restoring it. Hell, I'll bet there are millions of people who would be willing to pitch in. I HATE that he destroyed it and nobody stopped him.
UMMM....no. A replica of the east wing can be built. Rubble cannot be reassembled.
Oh, heck no. But it could conceivably be built to wipe out the godawful mess he has now.
Linda, I think we mean the same thing: we know the actual original walls, floors and ceilings can't be reassembled, but it can be replicated (I think is the word we're searching for) without the fuckwit's gaudy bullshit imprinted on it. There ARE experts in replacing/redoing original buildings which have been knocked down or even damaged by termites/asbestos, etc. Jan's right: the original drawings/plans are 'somewhere' and can be utilized to rebuild it all AS LONG AS we make him and his disgusting greedy spawn pay every penny to do the rebuilding. THEN we put up a plaque specifying that this REBUILT part of the people's White House was necessitated due to the dumbest precedent in American History tearing it down without ANY permission from the People of The United States.
Even Moms of fur babies deserve a happy mother's day to my mind - as do their dads on father's day.
I'm the crazy old lady who has a shrine to all her fur babies. I have two daughters who never had children but they have 7 kitties combined, and they're the best mommies. Thanks, Elizabeth, for pointing that out.
You're very welcome - it's also a wee bit self-serving on my part since my entire life has been raising multiple kitties and now my doggos as well. :) they've brought me SO much joy and I'm assuredly their Mom as well. Happy Mother's Day (a wee bit late) to all of us fur-baby moms! :)
Thank you for being you and writing on a day that can be triggering for many reasons.
You are an amazing person.
We unfortunately live in interesting times. But your great words are the balm we need.
Sometimes your daily dose is all the news I can handle. Also, thanks for that dancing video, first smile in a while.
Happy grieving mothers day to you and your daughter. It's a brutal yet beautiful reminder.
Damn, that guy can dance!
He's a dancing machine! Fueled by pure joy, huh? So fun to watch and dream about feeling that kind of joy about our beautiful country.
We love it! Thanks for all you do.
I love everything you send! Hungary’s new health minister dancing made me LOL for the first time in a long time… Thank you for that! I would dearly love to feel that sort of joy again… And your Mother’s Day tribute to Claudia made me feel a deeper, lasting joy… The quiet joy of life that keeps me pushing on through these days. Peace to you.
The Mother of all Substacks
No problem Jeff. You won’t find many objections to what you write.
it's always good stuff, Mr Jeff, any time is the right time for you to stick it to Cheeto Mussolini and his Chuds.
Drop as many as you want, dude.
You can NOT write enough! Don't you know that WE wait with bated breath for whatever you want to talk about on any given day? Today's was a doozy, especially those non-existent fucking fake phones! I had NO idea! How that fucking family manages to get away with scamming his magat cultists is so beyond me - WHEN will they wake up? Or is it a case of: the more they're conned, the more entrenched they become because they feel SO foolish they cannot admit how dumb he's made them? Peter Magyar and HIS Health Services dancing guy is so damn special AND fun - can't we trade rfkjr for him for just a wee while - maybe he'll get lost on the return trip? "oh look, there's a big shark, maybe I can cut off its head - hand me my chainsaw...just a LITTLE bit further, OOPS! HALP!' glug, glug, glug...
I will be by your side tearing down all that gold 💩, as soon as the oath of office is finished. We’ll listen to it online so we don’t have to wait one second to start getting the WH back to OUR HOUSE!!!!!!!
P.S. I want to dance like the Hungarians when we are permanently rid of our monsters! 😂 Can’t wait to dance in the streets!
Dance like a Hungarian.. the latest craze since Walk like an Egyptian…. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Guffaw! 😆 Thanks for the belly laugh!
😂😂😂
We're all eagerly awaiting the news that he is no longer among the living. I don't want to hear any BS from anyone that we should show respect because he was the president. He showed no respect for the American people, to the buildings and memorials that belong to we the people. To the spineless GOP weasels who've allowed him to run roughshod, fuck off.
Oh, and Happy Mother's Day. Thank you Jeff for the lovely photos of your beloved Claudia.
Recall that Hump is the guy responsible for 350,000 American deaths because he said Covid would disappear magically in 4 to 6 weeks. If a maniac sets your house on fire and prevents the fire department from putting it out FOR 10 YEARS, it’s OK to breathe a sigh of relief, clap, dance, or celebrate in any way you need to when the maniac is captured and the fire is extinguished.
I await the day he is actually in prison (wont happen, I know) but I savor the dream.
Absolutely show no respect. Just don't post anything that comes off as a current threat. You don't want the Secret Service at your door.
You mean like this: 86-47?
I'm waiting for that case to be laughed out of court -- with prejudice -- and Comey to be awarded legal fees.
Or, this: 8647. Or, this: VMMMDCXLVII. How about Dump Donnie Dimwit?
Did ANY of the fuckwits check to see if someone was trying out their address in shells on the beach? I bet not. AND, btw, I've known for ages that to '86' something or someone was to kick them out of a bar, kick them out of a class for bad behaviour, prevent them from getting a promotion or graduating with the rest of their peers BECAUSE they were so ill-mannered or just plain boors. That these morons took that as a 'threat' shows their level of stupidity.
Dance like Trump is no longer president. That is something that we can all get into. With or without music 🎶.
Eactly this - the same fucker who racially insulted PRESIDENT Barack Obama, then went after PRESIDENT Joseph Biden expects US to be 'respectful' to his sorry ass? I think not! They can bitch and whine all they want, I will NEVER pay the tiniest bit of 'respect' to anyone who's never given any - to anyone, AND been so horrid to women, most particularly Black women. He and his 'you should respect him because he's the president' morons can kiss my ass.
"This is just an invitation across the nation
A chance for folks to meet
There'll be laughing, singing, and music swinging
Dancing in the street
Philadelphia, PA (Dancing in the street)
Baltimore and D.C., now (Dancing in the street)
Can't forget the Motor City (Dancing in the street)"
I will probably be dancing in my driveway, but I'll certainly give it my all.
Aaallll we need is music, sweet music . . . Meaning The Announcement!
I love this song, and so appropriate.
I just posted about the same sentiment! I'm betting plenty of those reading thought the same thing.
A happy population celebrating with a liberating parliament and a sane, fun health minister who doesn't look like a tire fire. I weep with envy.
Cue Martha and the Vandellas "Dancing in the Street"---"Calling out around the world..."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdvITn5cAVc
I remember when the song came out--such a Motown hit! It was summer of 1964 and I ws 14 years old!
Beautiful photos of Claudia and Katie…❤️❤️. The de-Donnification of America will likely have the entire country (excluding cultish magas) helping with the beautification of America! Let’s hope it starts SOON! Happy Mother’s Day!
First of all, those are lovely photos of one of the best experiences in the world..having a baby. Perfect for Mother’s Day. ❤️
I actually enjoy reading about the racist monsters getting grifted by their own. HaHa! Wearing the golden diapers and the mini-pads on their ears shows how extreme the psychological sickness is. “Real Men Wear Diapers” You have to be 2 miles past demented to be seen in such laughably stupid bullshit. But thanks for the Mother’s Day laughs Jeff!
While I have absolutely no problem with trans folks, I continue to look at that MAGAt wearing the diaper and think "that's GOT to be a dude" and wonder why they were okay with that?
Seriously--am I the only person who thinks that can't possibly be a MAGAette?
Miselle, I heard it said, from a reliable source, that if your gaze falls upon Trump (lustfully or not) you do not turn to stone but you definitely turn gay; and if you look a second time you turn trans. This is definitely a good thing…could turn the tide in the midterms. (Please don’t spill the beans to diaper Don)
I have a suggestion for a correction the the diaper verbiage, I suggest Adult-ish diaper when we’re talking about donOld anyway. As long as I getting things off my mind those phones and that grift, so I read it all I was going to scream RICO right away then they write that disclaimer where they admit the grift! You don’t make up your own meanings for a legal disclaimer! It’s absurd those rubes made a commitment in the form of a down payment they should get a shitty phone. Somebody knock down J Edger Boozer’s ™ door slap him around then he needs to indict the obvious grift, the case is made.
It IS outright theft.
🤣🤣
That's what a lifetime of heavy smoking and hard drinking plus shitty diet and fake tanning plus watching FOX 24/7 can do. I can just hear the gutteral, scratchy voice that would emanate from such a specimen, puncuated by uncontrollable coughing.
Nope. They're everywhere.
I agree with you. I'm pretty sure that's David Lee Roth. 😂
She looks like richie, not a kid, rock.
BTW that photo a man or a woman? I cant tell.
Valid question rlritt — I hope there are separate bathrooms for things like that…and it shouldn’t be allowed to vote right?
I traveled in my early 20's The Republicans would be shocked to know in a lot places they only have one bathroom for all people.
True rlritt. Private parts seem to scare republicans to death. Can we lock them all up with therapists and let them out when they’ve “learned”. They should be able to “learn” in 10 or 20 years don’t you think. That will hopefully give us enough time to undo all the things they’ve fucked up.
Don’t you love how republicans wag their finger at the “little people” and tell us it’s our fault that we are poor or gay or whatever and that we just need to “learn”? I guess we all could learn more about pussy grabbing…maybe dear leader could give us a master class on that — he claims he’s a pro at it.
And you'd think when he said yesterday "I dont care about inflation" it would turn people off, but his MAGA are such submissive, they will accept that he is making billions and they are struggling.
It's interesting that the image of the reflecting pool is bright blue, you would think that the stupid MFer would realize that's what's coming in November............. a blue wave. Why isn't it gold like every other GD thing within eyesight.
You’re right Bill. He really missed the boat here — he could have painted it gold with his giant sharpie signature in the bottom from one end to the other…and with a giant Donnie statue rising up from the bottom like the Kraken.
He could have had it all. Sad.
Then it would be yellow, with floaters in it.
Bingo Noel — you topped it off perfectly!
Frank, don'tgive him ideas!!!😎😜
You’re right Cathy; but, on the other hand, he doesn’t read so i think I’m safe (unless one of his goons reads it). You know he doesn’t read the responses from the Iranians to his “peace” (of shit) plans. He has one of his flunkies read them (one that can read) and he falls asleep half way through and then someone wakes him up and he gives his predetermined response.
Why are we letting a five year old determine the course of history.
He really is an evil Chauncey Gardner.
Someone please wake me up because I’m having a horrible nightmare that has ghastly trolls and stormtroopers burning the people and raping the towns.
Oh the humanity…
Frank, well said. I have nightmares around 3 a.m.
😂
And it looks like his pick to do the job is using individual cans of spray paint. What a shitty job they’re doing. Omg. But it’s like painting a runway with a toothbrush. I think it’ll be possible to paint it cement colored after, you know, when he’s in the gold bordello in the depths of hell.
If it was gold the water would would look like pee. You might have something there. Or it could be red like a MAGA hat and look like blood.
He will probably have his portrait painted on there in gold and then sealed for all eternity.
If it turns out like the actual picture of work being done he will stiff the contractor.
I have a feeling that “someone “ is going to get a $6.9 million discount on all future pool cleanings at his glitzy golf motels.
You nailed it!
True Bill but he’ll stiff the contractor either way — it won’t matter if the contractor did a good job or not. Of course, we’re the ones footing the bill so i guess the scenario is mute. We pay but have no say. It’s come full circle — taxation without representation. Our forefathers would be kicking our asses
Frank, you are absolutely right on both fronts.
Thanks Bill!
I’m sure the phones will be delivered! Probably in about two weeks, along with Donny’s tax returns, the replacement for the ACA, the Epstein files and the end of the war in Iran.
And Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, stepmoms, pet moms and anyone else who celebrates! Jeff, I’m thinking of you and Kate on your first MD without your beloved Claudia.
Jeff, thanks for posting of your dear departed wife, I hope you find comfort in reviewing all the images you are able to review, you are a lucky man to have such memories. We need those moments of pleasure..Considering what u wrote about all the folks grifted on the phone scam.. Considering a new golden statue of Donald I have come to the conclusion that MAGAS are starting a new religion with the masses of MAGAS, preachers stating these are not false idols I am utterly perplexed. No different than Stalin, Mao, Jong Un, Gadafi, Idi Amen and on and on. I believe most Americans feel the same.. this administration is utterly void of concern for citizens.. it’s all a large con job and we are the mark.. Best to All Fellow Travellers..
I met a traveler from a defiled land
Who said if you journey there and stand
To gape at ego projects of chintz and bling
And on those ruined edifices these words will crow
"My name is Trump and I am a king!
Look upon my works, ye worms, and bow down low!"
Nothing worthwhile remains, round the decay
Of that moral wreckage, the corrupt show
His bankrupt character swept away
Echoes of Ozymandias’ 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Excellent my friend
How are your Maga golf buddies? Love those stories.
Thank you for your kind words. I have not been in the MAGAS golf group for a couple of months. I expect to join them sometime this summer, a number are snow birds who have gone back to their other homes in Red states. Currently I’m visiting the Boston area on family business and everyone I have met are very very Blue.. even at Fenway today, all blue.. that gives me hope.
I'm on vacation with 3 friends that I don't see often. We never talk politics because I know they vote GOP. In the past, I'd hear a few political comments. Now nothing. They said a couple of comments about a couple Dems, but that was all. What is there left to say about Trump and his cabinet? Much quieter than when we saw each other the last time when Biden was president. No talk of gas prices or Iran. They know. It's probably the same with your golf buddies. There's nothing for them left to say. The worst Dem is better than the best Repub.
that Hungarian dance video was the best Mother's Day gift! thanks!
Where do I sign up for the dismantling project? I may be “elderly” but I make up for it with enthusiasm!!
Mother’s Day some mighty fine photos of your two ladies bonding 😍
That health minister in Hungary has got some moves-the crowd goes wild.
And we’re stuck with the giraffe ejaculator *sigh*
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there🌹
Giraffe ejaculator….good one.
Congratulations, Hungary! May our turn be next!
After the Grifter meets his Maker and MAGA reaps its reward, we're going to be in clean-up mode for a long time.
Thanks for sharing the family photos.
It will be the biggest federal job creation program in history.
To once again quote noted journalist and unapologetic Anti-Semite, H.L. Mencken, no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence (or gullibility or amorality) of MAGA. And to quote Pete Townshend (Sally Simpson), "Don't say (we) didn't warn ya.'" As for that Hungarian dude, at no point in that amazing dance does he look like he's jerking-off two men at once. I must agree with everyone who posted that America's (and the world's) streets will be ablaze with similar celebrations when this horrible man FINALLY shuffles-off this mortal coil. It will make VJ Day look like a fuggin' tea party. The Buddha tells us to live in the present. Well, screw that. I live in the hope that everything this man has done will be summarily UNDONE. As Laura Nyro wrote, nothing cures like time and love.
I LOVE Laura Nyro!
Wow, Laura Nyro. What a memory. Good times.
Love your Claudia pictures!
Claudia and Katie photos are sweetness overload. Thank you are sharing with us. They made me smile.
Best lines of your article today: “this is a lesson for our next Democratic president: the de-Donnification of America has to begin immediately following the inauguration. no farting around. Donny’s fuckery has to be eradicated from the first second.”
I dream of Americans celebrating in the streets, in our homes, on our streets and weeping with total joy. Deep breaths til then. Let’s go!!
There should be a dance off between Minister Zsolt and RFK Jr., loser resigns. Buh bye Bobby Brainworm!
I’d pay good money to watch that!
