Uncle Jeff called me to discuss before I got here! So now they’re blaming Pete Buttigieg because … he controls military flights? Distract, destroy and pillage is Maga cause.
This cycle of Trump implodes things, Democratic lawyers and AGs rush in with suits, courts--as the adults know they need to put hold on DTs juvenile moves that are illegal and not governing, has to step in and put a stop to this.
Of course right now DT has released his brownshirts from prison, and they will have to serve as his militia until he figures out how he can co-opt the military as his enforcement of anything he wants to.
Might be time for We the People to be planning to figure out at which red line they are going to march in front of the capitol until Trump is impeached and imprisoned for being the traitorous criminal he is.
Here is a link to the General Strike, a plan to shut down things so that the government has to listen to demands. They need 11 mil, and so far have about 150,000 committed to doing this. https://generalstrikeus.com/
What we need to do is stop trying to fix everything and let Trump face a real disaster that he can't bullshit his way out of. Getting the MAGAts to turn on him is the only way to stop him. Do-gooders have only made him worse.
MAGA may be incapable of turning on him, just like an addict will end up in the gutter and dead before they let go of a habit. We should not be the victims of Trump junkies. Help comes for those who help themselves.
Linda, I doubt the Democrats will ever grow a pair and actually go after him. And if you don't think Trump's Secret Service wouldn't take that website down and arrest the people who built it, you're kidding yourself.
‘As St. Ungulant preached to any who would listen, there were plus points in being a madman. People hesitated to stop you, in case it made things worse.’
Yes, that's the first thing Florida republicans do. We had a local hate-preacher the developers got elected as a County Commissioner, he was stupid, venal and incompetent. When they realized he would not get reelected, they had Deathsantis stuff him in a Secretary of elections. Even though the retiring guy's assistant has 20 years of being second banana and was well qualified. In short, he asked for millions of dollars, and got it, and spent a lot of it renting an office in the swanky part of town and furnishing it to the hilt. He got ousted in the election, now the county is stuck with all his unnecessary expenditures.
Not a one. Between IQ challenged fuckface getting rid of thousands of FAA employees including two high ranking officials and Smuk heading DOGE, Death of Government Efficiency, we're already knee deep in their cesspool of destruction. With this air disaster being blamed on Buttigieg, DEI hires and whoever these assholes will continue to blame, it's hard to think that these mass staff losses
of FAA employees won't continue to compromise air safety and travel.
Agree, Cheri. On a purely emotional level, I'd cheer if there was a successful sniper at the golf course. But JD is a smarter, more controllable version of his leader, so perhaps even more dangerous.
Agree that it’s at best a roulette wheel of possibilities and that there doesn’t seem to be a timeline of the universe in which you could have a worse clump of protoplasm in every single freakin’ category. Just take the golfing subset — he cheats, he fakes championships, takes the cart where it’s forbidden, rages at local authorities should they try to follow the laws, buried his wife there to get the tax break, DJs the hall, feels up any unfortunate newlywed, plays much too much and at tremendous expense for added fucking security and even charges secret service for rooms — and that’s not even 1% of the awfulness that oozes out of very pore, sinks up the room, and then we have to live downwind.
It’s interesting that Thiek worked a marriage with the Heritage Foundation guys and the rest of that Uhlein/DeVos tribe. I suspect the Mercers connected them. I fucking hate the Mercers as much as I hate anybody in that seditious bunch of thieving apes.
Absolutely Neal You’re right on the money about, Christo-fascist, Tech Bros’ and hedge fund asshole Robert Mercer… he was at IBM when I did work for them years ago.
That's because Musk and Miller and the rest of the dirty rat pack are breaking things while Trump signs off on stuff and goes golfing. And posts at Truth Social in the wee hours. This is America going into a dive with a couple of engines on fire. Where's my oxygen mask?
What's he going to do next week, put Andrew Tate in charge of Women's Healthcare? I this shit is literally blowing up fast. Faster than I imagined. It may be our ticket for a united front. 🤔 Life is a big shit sandwich in the White House and every day is a new bite. Shitpants washes it down with some Adderall and a diet coke.
I’ve only heard a couple of people say, “Life’s a shit sandwich” bit Lisa, brought back some old memories! You’re right about the coterie of connards he’s surrounding himself with… none of them know a thing about the way government operates, or doesn’t if you’re a GOP member! Which is why we’re watching such a fucking disaster!!
You know right now Trump and Company are desperately searching for any sign one of the pilots, or the air traffic controller, is female, a minority, or gay so they can have their narrative.
Trump does realize he's President now, doesn't he? He's ultimately responsible.
When a Navy cruiser accidentally shot down an F-18 in the last days of the Biden administration, the wingnuts were all screaming how DEI has destroyed our military - never mind that a cruiser of the same class accidently shot down an Iranian Airbus during the reign of St. Ronald of Reagan, Peace and Blessings Upon Him. That shootdown led to the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103.
You're referring to the USS Vincennes fiasco? My brother was on that ship. Seeing dead bodies floating in the water turned him (temporarily) into a Jesus freak overnight.
Also, it'd take far more than just the presidency to get Trump to ever admit responsibility for anything (besides the positive accomplishments of others, that is).
One of trump’s very first acts was to fire the commandant of the Coast Guard, the first woman to head up a branch of the military. According to him, she was a DEI hire.
Lisa, CF fired the Coast Guard commandant, a woman, as "she's a DEI hire". Last night, though, the men & women of the CG were on the crash scene, immediately launching boats to look for survivors. Thanks to the CG for showing us they're Americans first, no WH dumb fuckery will change their respect for their mission.
It's been reported that one of the two pilots of the helicopter was a woman. Wait for the pigs to start squealing about that. It also seems that the air traffic controller was doing the job of two people. We can thank the Feral Hog's hiring freeze for that.
Thanks for that info. I'm one of those constituents who bombarded my senators about the fucknuttery King Fuckface has engaged in with his minions. If anyone else wants to be civically engaged the switchboard # for Congress is 202-224-3121. You will get an AI generated voice just say the name of your senator or congressional rep. Those of us that have been paying attention knew Chump was going to govern by executive order because he can't govern. It's government by fiat.
So under Donnie we're not safe flying. We soon will not be able to eat chicken or eggs. The price of fruits and vegetables will be out of reach unless you are making 6 figures. Healthcare, medicare and Social Security will go bye-bye. Most of us will be living in cardboard boxes or tent cities.
Are we great again yet? Cause I'm worn out with all of the greatness that has occurred in the last 10 days.
There are very few inmates left. A couple dozen that I know of. He wants to use gitmo for immigrants who he arrests. Wants room for 30K, but there isn't room, so we'll see.
Ha! Just come on back and ask gardening questions! I am a lifetime horticulturist by interest as well as education--had my first garden at age 3. Never stop learning new things!
Wish we could post photos--I use veggies as ornamentals in my front yard garden--spectacular! No one can believe that everything I grow is food. No turf grass in my yard....nothing eats that stuff.
Me too! But too much heat last 2 summers have been brutaI. I had to bring delicate herbs inside but they didn’t thrive. I want to grow tomatoes again. My husband and I can no longer do gardening due to physical issues. We have a yard crew every week for maintenance, thank goodness.
Getting my container garden ready now. My eggplant, jalapeños and cucumbers have been especially sustaining; I make great pickles. Beats the supermarket any day.
Linda, you need to start a Substack ! We all need to start our Victory Gardens- indoors and out ! U Tube would also be a great choice ! Let us know when you are ready. Your subscribers are waiting !
I often watch the ATC You Tube channel and others; the controllers are always asking pilots to confirm that they have visual contact with other aircraft - especially when they are on approach.
DCA's main rwy runs N-S, but yesterday's crash was on the short rwy at a 45-degree angle to the river. Combine that with nighttime flying, a super-busy airport with the busiest rwy, and a copter on a training flight, and it was a disaster waiting to happen.
NPR was saying that ATC asked the helicopter if it saw the plane, and the answer was yes. However, there were two planes in close proximity and the question may be whether the helicopter pilot and ATC were talking about the same plane. OK, now I'm going to stop speculating.
Susan, yes! TY to Mingo, who posted above: Call the DC Congressional # 202-224-3121. An AI voice will ask u to name the Sen or Rep you wish to speak to. It will transfer you.
Jeff, as we all predicted this crew is using the Project 2025 to arbitrarily launch this attack on our federal government. “Golf with MAGAs” this week… golf was fine, low score, won $$, and no political talk until lunch. I learned that Kash Patel is going to reign in the FBI, deep state u know.
What really blew me away were MAGAS sitting next to our table. As they stated that “ this was Trumps America now and everyone must get with the program… no dissent or we will deport you. What is good for America is good for the world and you have to accept it” WTF? Approached by MAGA at my gym yesterday, he said “winning, winning, how much more can we get” I merely said…. Why are you quoting the Hitler Youth? Are you a Nazi or wannabe Nazi? He just walked away…. Best to all.
Sounds like you're playing well. It warmed up here,(Columbus Ohio) and I got to hit some balls yesterday. I've got the itch! I plan to have MAGAts pay for my Substacks.😆😆😆
You know Dave, that when u are in a cult, surrounded by MAGA news, these guys just loose focus, loose any knowledge of history, loose any knowledge of what former Democratic presidents accomplished to improve the daily life of ordinary folks, mention how much they will enjoy paying more for prescriptions or insulin and I get a blank stare, like they just shit in their pants and don’t believe what I just explained to them…
What is surprising to me is the childlike glee that these grown (and aging) men take from harming others. They call it ‘winning’. I don’t know why this still shocks me. I guess I thought that most people would have grown out of bullying by the time they hit their 50s…
Actions have consequences, Donny Fuckface. Screw with the air traffic safety business and bad things happen. Those poor families won’t get a word of condolence from the King of Breaking Shit.
Yeah,I agree.Not one consoling word or action from Little DFF will be forthcoming to the families who lost loved ones and friends.Maybe a class action suit somewhere down the road for gross negligence or some such travesty.
1. The confusion Leavitt mentions was not created by the court but created by the admins sheer incompetence. But you knew that.
2. I figured the airport disaster (heartfelt condolences) was complicated by Orange Fuckwit scurrying to b dismantle the agencies we need. Congratulations, asshole, I’ll be booking any trips with my car.
Leavitt is joining the other Trump Press Secretaries in competition with a head of lettuce. Will she last longer than the head of lettuce? Does she get her lies directly from Trump? Does some idiot minion write her gibberish? The lettuce doesn't lie.
The very rich as personified in Trump and Musk are retarded. They can't do anything that normal people do. They are devoid of empathy. Only they exist and everyone else can go fuck themselves is how they think.
Soon MAGA will figure out that these rich bastards are not going to do anything for them and they can't blame it all on Biden anymore.
"Shock and Awe" was Trump's slogan about his first days back in office. Really awesome it has been too. Go about your lives the best you can. Ignore being shocked or awed by the Toddler King. Have faith in the real world. It isn't going anywhere.
The EPA and many others might disagree with your statement Darrel, this cosmic blue spinning ball is speaking loudly about the dangers humanity poses to humanity!!
That is a good read but I differ. Empathy is one requirement for intelligence. Others build the Teslas and operate SpaceX. Others wipe Trump's ass. Self sufficiency is one requirement for intelligence. Can a person dress, feed, and care for themselves?
Money does not buy intelligence. A child in Alabama may be the most intelligent person in America by IQ right now. They will need empathy and self-sufficience to be truly intelligent. Warm blooded animals show more and more intelligence. Perhaps a Doctor can write a paper about how the level of intelligence in all life forms on earth has increased through evolution and human interaction.
Must disagree on a couple of statements. 1): "Self sufficiency is one requirement for intelligence. Can a person dress, feed, and care for themselves?"
Do you imagine Stephen Hawking to be unintelligent, for example?
2): On empathy: The multitude of arrogant tech geniuses who have zero empathy for most of the rest of us who don't share their grasp of technology.
Emotional intelligence would encompass empathy I believe. I was thinking of those people (including myself) who have lots of life experience and reject Trump World. America and our lives could be much better. If that is "woke" so be it.
Sorry to everyone impacted by this stupid tragedy. That's a lot of life - gone. I'm feeling for you, and the public safety servants now tasked with "cleaning up" the horrific.
The White House is saying the freeze is back on. They are in disarray. Theirs is an anti-social mental disorder: psychopathy. I did not have to tell you they are sick, damaged mentally in childhood and adolescence. The common lexicon is critical to marshal and reinvigorate a team opposed to the carnage we face. We must all do better to speak and to reinforce with the same phrases and slogans. My main point is that we face a common foe of psychopathic neo-fascists. These have an anti-social mental disorder, hence the cruelty. I have worked hard to promote the correct name for our foe: psychopathic neo-fascists. Thom Hartmann made a strong marketing point this morning. Marketing is the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large. If we want to gather and convince our voters of the value offered in our candidate and the platform, we must market with skill, integrity, and unified voices driving home the benefits that we envision and that we promise. Our hardest task before us is the need to rouse the DNC. I do not think it exists in reality, but is a virtual cloud. I believe it needs reconstruction to be a real organization, not some myth that vacuums up people’s change. I have tried for a week to contact someone there. No luck. What do you think? https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/i-will-call-the-dnc-today?r=3m1bs
Mary, I'm thinking of changing from my lifelong Dem to Independent. DC Dems have zero plant to #Resist and fight back. Schumer & Pelosi need to retire or be voted out. We have a 5 Alarm Fire. They've known about P2025 for years.

When bad things happen, he blames the Dems. When good things happen due to policies created by a Dem Congress and President, he takes credit.
A.L.W.A.Y.S.
Wait, really? They're trying to blame Pete? I know they are complete fucking morons but that makes no sense even for them.

I was just looking at that graphic that said, “Fact Sheet.”
Only trump can make fact a 4-letter word.
I read you all. Your take is usually my dessert after Wonkette, always gets a lot of laughs from me.
I prefer dessert FIRST!
I always wait for Jeff to appear.
I prefer dessert only right now🤣
Me too!
Congrats you beat Evan 👏
Keith Edwards was the first
You are my first stop every am! That won't change. This is my tribe. Jeff has the best community here. 👫👬🇺🇸
You and Jay are two must-have viewpoints in my take on the daily shitshow.
Hahahaha you are all worthy! The more voices the better!
“King Fuckface the First!” There is not one brain cell in this administration.
Dum de dum dum DUMB.
He's doing even more this time, so the stupid really shows. He's doing all this stuff he was talked out of last time.
And T💩p is even more demented this time.
More brain cells are flushed down every time he takes a 💩.
Wait until he orders our armed forces to go over and attack Denmark and take Greenland. They MUST put him in the loony bin then. Right?

Who, Susie Wiles? She's probably out spending our tax dollars like a bandit to spruce up her new offices to a level for which all royalty yearns.
Yes, that's the first thing Florida republicans do. We had a local hate-preacher the developers got elected as a County Commissioner, he was stupid, venal and incompetent. When they realized he would not get reelected, they had Deathsantis stuff him in a Secretary of elections. Even though the retiring guy's assistant has 20 years of being second banana and was well qualified.

No such woman exists Susan, the guardrails have been removed!!
She might have been buying some new fonts with which she’ll write and then tender her resignation.
Not a one. Between IQ challenged fuckface getting rid of thousands of FAA employees including two high ranking officials and Smuk heading DOGE, Death of Government Efficiency, we're already knee deep in their cesspool of destruction. With this air disaster being blamed on Buttigieg, DEI hires and whoever these assholes will continue to blame, it's hard to think that these mass staff losses

Hahaha!! Love this one also!!
I’ve started calling him ‘The Spokesmodel’…😒
Don't fool yourself. People thought Hitler and Mussolini were stupid. They changed their minds soon enough.
The killing began a little ahead of what we expected. The cruelty was right on time. The arrogance… man, I’m drained of words.
He’s golfed twice since inauguration
https://trumpgolftrack.com/
Right. An excellent tracker. Sadly, an important one.
I suppose that the more he golfs the safer the USA will be. Also, he's exposed to potential snipers on the golf course. Jus' say'n.
That assumes that worse people won’t take the reins. Jesus we sure seem to be headed for more and greater disasters.
Yes. I'm worried about McShillbilly lurking in the wings.
Agree, Cheri. On a purely emotional level, I'd cheer if there was a successful sniper at the golf course. But JD is a smarter, more controllable version of his leader, so perhaps even more dangerous.
You’re right to be concerned Cheri!!
Agree that it’s at best a roulette wheel of possibilities and that there doesn’t seem to be a timeline of the universe in which you could have a worse clump of protoplasm in every single freakin’ category. Just take the golfing subset — he cheats, he fakes championships, takes the cart where it’s forbidden, rages at local authorities should they try to follow the laws, buried his wife there to get the tax break, DJs the hall, feels up any unfortunate newlywed, plays much too much and at tremendous expense for added fucking security and even charges secret service for rooms — and that’s not even 1% of the awfulness that oozes out of very pore, sinks up the room, and then we have to live downwind.
It. Is. Un. Believable.
Truly, no one would find this remotely believable if it was already a movie book. 📕 oh yeah, 1984
Big Brother had some plausible intelligence underpinning the cruelty and lies and misery.
How much worse could they be? Are they all not a bunch of loonies? Drumpf is the worst because of his excessive raging
narcissism- un contained and toxic when combined with his imbecile delusions!
Peter Thiel’s protege is one of those Christo-fascist, having a herd of religious right wacko’s at the helm would have plenty of consequences Dave!!
It’s interesting that Thiek worked a marriage with the Heritage Foundation guys and the rest of that Uhlein/DeVos tribe. I suspect the Mercers connected them. I fucking hate the Mercers as much as I hate anybody in that seditious bunch of thieving apes.
Absolutely Neal You’re right on the money about, Christo-fascist, Tech Bros’ and hedge fund asshole Robert Mercer… he was at IBM when I did work for them years ago.
Then you know.
I really like your thinking, arne. My fingers and toes are now permanently crossed, hoping that the third time's the charm.
Too bad ppl are willing to settle for that… ya know? SAD. Even the frick’n GERMANS rolled the dice on a woman leader - GEEZus
Driving the cart on every green to avoid any strenuous activity Neal, he’s an imbecilic, rotting, old sack of lab grown meat!!
See my above comment.
Three times, I think…
That's because Musk and Miller and the rest of the dirty rat pack are breaking things while Trump signs off on stuff and goes golfing. And posts at Truth Social in the wee hours. This is America going into a dive with a couple of engines on fire. Where's my oxygen mask?

Opening the Pandora’s box there good!
You're referring to the USS Vincennes fiasco? My brother was on that ship. Seeing dead bodies floating in the water turned him (temporarily) into a Jesus freak overnight.
Also, it'd take far more than just the presidency to get Trump to ever admit responsibility for anything (besides the positive accomplishments of others, that is).
This w/o a doubt
One of trump’s very first acts was to fire the commandant of the Coast Guard, the first woman to head up a branch of the military. According to him, she was a DEI hire.
So, according to Dumbass, anyone who is not a white male is a DEI hire.
Apparently.
Yup
I guess that’s it.
Lisa, CF fired the Coast Guard commandant, a woman, as "she's a DEI hire". Last night, though, the men & women of the CG were on the crash scene, immediately launching boats to look for survivors. Thanks to the CG for showing us they're Americans first, no WH dumb fuckery will change their respect for their mission.
You think like I think it’s time to do your job and thus rid Shitler of power. FYI Shitler now comes up on my spell check, good deal.
My husband and I (as an unpaid employee 😄) served in the Coast Guard for 23 years. Good outfit. Proud to have served.
Sadly correct 😔 🥺😢
It's been reported that one of the two pilots of the helicopter was a woman. Wait for the pigs to start squealing about that. It also seems that the air traffic controller was doing the job of two people. We can thank the Feral Hog's hiring freeze for that.
Or maybe a member of DCA's janitorial staff
Sadly, correc😢🥺😫
I've looked. So far all I can find is that one of the plane pilots was undeniably rosy cheeked and pale.
"take heart, because this is how we win"
Continuing what Jeff was describing —
I just released a post on how smart lawyers are pushing back against 6 trump initiatives. We've won three of them already!
https://kathleenweber.substack.com/p/our-first-big-win
understanding the finer points of law is above my pay grade, so I'm always happy when people more knowledgeable than I pick up the slack. thank you
Thx. I'm not a lawyer I'm a historian. But law is part of history, and I read a ton.
Marc Elias’s Democracy Docket is must read as well.
Michael Popok is also good on law.
YES! Subscribed to him the minute he established Democracy Docket.
Would also recommend Joyce Vance.
Thanks for that info. I'm one of those constituents who bombarded my senators about the fucknuttery King Fuckface has engaged in with his minions. If anyone else wants to be civically engaged the switchboard # for Congress is 202-224-3121. You will get an AI generated voice just say the name of your senator or congressional rep. Those of us that have been paying attention knew Chump was going to govern by executive order because he can't govern. It's government by fiat.
"Government by fiat" can also be known as a royal decree (by King Fuckface I). He really wants a crown and scepter. He already has the golden throne.
Oh yeah, there’s also his (stolen) family crest!
Thank you for your service
Thanks Kathleen!!
Kathleen, thanks! Good news, understandable to non- lawyers.
So under Donnie we're not safe flying. We soon will not be able to eat chicken or eggs. The price of fruits and vegetables will be out of reach unless you are making 6 figures. Healthcare, medicare and Social Security will go bye-bye. Most of us will be living in cardboard boxes or tent cities.
Are we great again yet? Cause I'm worn out with all of the greatness that has occurred in the last 10 days.
Soon, only those who have seeds and know how to plant, grow and harvest will eat.
Make America Cuba should be the Commander and Thief’s new slogan. Its acronym is MAC which works well for his favorite food.
More like Make America Hungary.
Don't diss Cuba--I hear they have terrific health care!
Knowing Guantanamo prisons have 30k of beds waiting for immigrants, that sounds about right Dana!!
The thing is, they don't have the beds. Or the staff. Or the infrastructure. It's another one of those orders of no substance.
Patrick, no, CF cannot use GITMO. That's where I want to see him. Imprisoned with terrorists. 30k beds? That sounds ominous.
There are very few inmates left. A couple dozen that I know of. He wants to use gitmo for immigrants who he arrests. Wants room for 30K, but there isn't room, so we'll see.
Well, I'm dead for sure.
Ha! Just come on back and ask gardening questions! I am a lifetime horticulturist by interest as well as education--had my first garden at age 3. Never stop learning new things!
We all die let’s do it with honor!
Linda, I am starting my new indoor grow of micro greens. My spring buys of flowers will now include veggies & fruit.
Wish we could post photos--I use veggies as ornamentals in my front yard garden--spectacular! No one can believe that everything I grow is food. No turf grass in my yard....nothing eats that stuff.
I planted ground covers in both front and back yards. No mowing or maintenance, almost no storm water run-off, and very attractive.
Linda, oh YES, veggies are great in the yard! A neighbor had 6-8 tall planters. Loved watching them grow was fun.
One big planter full of bright red peppers.
Me too! But too much heat last 2 summers have been brutaI. I had to bring delicate herbs inside but they didn’t thrive. I want to grow tomatoes again. My husband and I can no longer do gardening due to physical issues. We have a yard crew every week for maintenance, thank goodness.
Condolences. When I can no longer garden, I hope someone wheels me out and plants me next to the tomatoes and beets and okra--good fertilizer!!
Getting my container garden ready now. My eggplant, jalapeños and cucumbers have been especially sustaining; I make great pickles. Beats the supermarket any day.
Man, let's all join up and start a commune!
Been growing because I can’t afford produce.
Linda, you need to start a Substack ! We all need to start our Victory Gardens- indoors and out ! U Tube would also be a great choice ! Let us know when you are ready. Your subscribers are waiting !
I'm thoroughly exhausted
I often watch the ATC You Tube channel and others; the controllers are always asking pilots to confirm that they have visual contact with other aircraft - especially when they are on approach.
trump, as usual, is a fucking idiot.
DCA's main rwy runs N-S, but yesterday's crash was on the short rwy at a 45-degree angle to the river. Combine that with nighttime flying, a super-busy airport with the busiest rwy, and a copter on a training flight, and it was a disaster waiting to happen.
NPR was saying that ATC asked the helicopter if it saw the plane, and the answer was yes. However, there were two planes in close proximity and the question may be whether the helicopter pilot and ATC were talking about the same plane. OK, now I'm going to stop speculating.

Get in Good Trouble everyone!
Call or email your Senators today about the abominable nominations.
Susan, yes! TY to Mingo, who posted above: Call the DC Congressional # 202-224-3121. An AI voice will ask u to name the Sen or Rep you wish to speak to. It will transfer you.
Jeff, as we all predicted this crew is using the Project 2025 to arbitrarily launch this attack on our federal government. “Golf with MAGAs” this week… golf was fine, low score, won $$, and no political talk until lunch. I learned that Kash Patel is going to reign in the FBI, deep state u know.
What really blew me away were MAGAS sitting next to our table. As they stated that “ this was Trumps America now and everyone must get with the program… no dissent or we will deport you. What is good for America is good for the world and you have to accept it” WTF? Approached by MAGA at my gym yesterday, he said “winning, winning, how much more can we get” I merely said…. Why are you quoting the Hitler Youth? Are you a Nazi or wannabe Nazi? He just walked away…. Best to all.
Sounds like you're playing well. It warmed up here,(Columbus Ohio) and I got to hit some balls yesterday. I've got the itch! I plan to have MAGAts pay for my Substacks.😆😆😆
Excellent my friend
These creeps you golf with- do they remember their fathers or grandfathers and uncles fighting the Nazi scum
over 75 yrs ago so that we could live in peace and not fear those facists? Hmmm? didn’t think so.
You know Dave, that when u are in a cult, surrounded by MAGA news, these guys just loose focus, loose any knowledge of history, loose any knowledge of what former Democratic presidents accomplished to improve the daily life of ordinary folks, mention how much they will enjoy paying more for prescriptions or insulin and I get a blank stare, like they just shit in their pants and don’t believe what I just explained to them…
What is surprising to me is the childlike glee that these grown (and aging) men take from harming others. They call it ‘winning’. I don’t know why this still shocks me. I guess I thought that most people would have grown out of bullying by the time they hit their 50s…
Great reply!!!!!!
Thank you for doing that FF. NAZIS are what they are as they encompass both racism and fascism.
Why are you still talking to people who support racism, misogyny and xenophobia, just for starters.
You know the saying.... If there are 9 Nazis at a table and you join them, there are now 10 Nazis.
Fredo, sounds like Eric Trump's sm post or repost a few days ago, quickly taken down.
Actions have consequences, Donny Fuckface. Screw with the air traffic safety business and bad things happen. Those poor families won’t get a word of condolence from the King of Breaking Shit.
Yeah,I agree.Not one consoling word or action from Little DFF will be forthcoming to the families who lost loved ones and friends.Maybe a class action suit somewhere down the road for gross negligence or some such travesty.
Someone wrote his tv statement who may possibly be imbued with some humility and compassion. (Not long for his or her job).
He threw in some ‘cold, cold’ in the description of the water the victims fell into. So comforting, right?
He’s a heartless ignoramus who raided Macys cosmetic counter and bought all the orange face cream and smeared it on
his ugly puss. Man, I don’t want to see his face when he first wakes up!
Ditto
Ugh. God he’s so effing awful.
He is both shameless and shameful, as well as so many other disgusting 🤮
Victoria, his remarks this am began with appropriate words, then it was "Obama" "Biden" blaming, DEI, trashing Pete Buttigieg (Biden's superb
Sec of Transportation). He just can't. Imagine those families of the deceased, CF using their deaths to ramble on with lies and political bs.
Perhaps another in a long litany lawsuits, with him controlling the levers of power, we’re bound to see a plethora of lawsuits!!
What did it take one week.
1. The confusion Leavitt mentions was not created by the court but created by the admins sheer incompetence. But you knew that.
2. I figured the airport disaster (heartfelt condolences) was complicated by Orange Fuckwit scurrying to b dismantle the agencies we need. Congratulations, asshole, I’ll be booking any trips with my car.
He'll prolly blow up the NHTSA as well, so you may want to reconsider
I was originally thinking trains, but we’ve seen how that plays out even with a decent admin. Maybe I’ll just walk.
I just stay home, a lot safer.
cars are more dangerous (BUT I AIN'T GETTIN' ON NO PLANE ANYWAY)
Well, that used to be true, along with a lot of other cherished realities.
Time is a flat circle Linda!!
Good points Kay-EI!!
Absolutely. Done with flying.
Donny's truthy tweet about the plane crash smacks of "Rut-roh, I can't blame Biden anymore" levels of panic.
Well dug Jennifer!!
Leavitt is joining the other Trump Press Secretaries in competition with a head of lettuce. Will she last longer than the head of lettuce? Does she get her lies directly from Trump? Does some idiot minion write her gibberish? The lettuce doesn't lie.
The very rich as personified in Trump and Musk are retarded. They can't do anything that normal people do. They are devoid of empathy. Only they exist and everyone else can go fuck themselves is how they think.
Soon MAGA will figure out that these rich bastards are not going to do anything for them and they can't blame it all on Biden anymore.
"Shock and Awe" was Trump's slogan about his first days back in office. Really awesome it has been too. Go about your lives the best you can. Ignore being shocked or awed by the Toddler King. Have faith in the real world. It isn't going anywhere.
"Have faith in the real world. It isn't going anywhere."
Thanks for that reminder. 👍👍👍
actually the real world IS going, and rapidly - trump's rule will accelerate this
100% agreed Gina!!
Have you noticed how many Ivanka look-alike he surrounds himself with?
Such a creepy old MF.
Will her hubby mind if HeirFuckface makes a move on her?
The EPA and many others might disagree with your statement Darrel, this cosmic blue spinning ball is speaking loudly about the dangers humanity poses to humanity!!
Beg to differ. Here, for your consideration and edification, is a dandy little read from Richard Heinberg that explains a lot:
https://richardheinberg.com/museletter-382-are-we-too-smart-for-our-own-good?utm_source=Museletter&utm_campaign=b809460212-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2025_01_27_08_08&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-b809460212-16016203&mc_cid=b809460212&mc_eid=d0a924f519
That is a good read but I differ. Empathy is one requirement for intelligence. Others build the Teslas and operate SpaceX. Others wipe Trump's ass. Self sufficiency is one requirement for intelligence. Can a person dress, feed, and care for themselves?
Money does not buy intelligence. A child in Alabama may be the most intelligent person in America by IQ right now. They will need empathy and self-sufficience to be truly intelligent. Warm blooded animals show more and more intelligence. Perhaps a Doctor can write a paper about how the level of intelligence in all life forms on earth has increased through evolution and human interaction.
Must disagree on a couple of statements. 1): "Self sufficiency is one requirement for intelligence. Can a person dress, feed, and care for themselves?"
Do you imagine Stephen Hawking to be unintelligent, for example?
2): On empathy: The multitude of arrogant tech geniuses who have zero empathy for most of the rest of us who don't share their grasp of technology.
Darrell, I didn't see a single word about Emotional Intelligence.
Emotional intelligence would encompass empathy I believe. I was thinking of those people (including myself) who have lots of life experience and reject Trump World. America and our lives could be much better. If that is "woke" so be it.
👍👍👍
Will she last a Scaramucci? 😂 He's gotta be laughing his ass off. 🤣🤣🤣
The ginormous cross she wears (bears?) hold her brain down in suspended animation.
"Nutfucks in a Nutshell", by Jeff Tiedrich.
Sorry to everyone impacted by this stupid tragedy. That's a lot of life - gone. I'm feeling for you, and the public safety servants now tasked with "cleaning up" the horrific.
The White House is saying the freeze is back on. They are in disarray. Theirs is an anti-social mental disorder: psychopathy. I did not have to tell you they are sick, damaged mentally in childhood and adolescence. The common lexicon is critical to marshal and reinvigorate a team opposed to the carnage we face. We must all do better to speak and to reinforce with the same phrases and slogans. My main point is that we face a common foe of psychopathic neo-fascists. These have an anti-social mental disorder, hence the cruelty. I have worked hard to promote the correct name for our foe: psychopathic neo-fascists. Thom Hartmann made a strong marketing point this morning. Marketing is the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large. If we want to gather and convince our voters of the value offered in our candidate and the platform, we must market with skill, integrity, and unified voices driving home the benefits that we envision and that we promise. Our hardest task before us is the need to rouse the DNC. I do not think it exists in reality, but is a virtual cloud. I believe it needs reconstruction to be a real organization, not some myth that vacuums up people’s change. I have tried for a week to contact someone there. No luck. What do you think? https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/i-will-call-the-dnc-today?r=3m1bs
DNC keeps bombarding me with "reminders" that I have not paid up this year. NOPE. Get someone who wants to win and can put together a plan
I send my money directly to AOC and Jasmine Crockett. Skip the DNC.
DNC's answer to everything is SEND US (MORE) MONEY!!
Fool me once. . .
Steve, this!!☝️☝️
Mary, I'm thinking of changing from my lifelong Dem to Independent. DC Dems have zero plant to #Resist and fight back. Schumer & Pelosi need to retire or be voted out. We have a 5 Alarm Fire. They've known about P2025 for years.
Carl, delete “neo” from your mind. These fuckers are NAZIS. One word!
That totalitarian fascist party was banned and was anti-Semitic, anti-Romani and anti-communism. Not so here. We have psychopathic neo-fascists.
marketing, yes! the repubs do very effective if repulsive marketing. dems gotta get with the times (not the new york times maybe)
It's KaMAAla's fault. And Shifty Schiff. And prolly George Soros.
