"Just doing your fucking job" as a journalist is often heroic, because using the press as a whipping boy to cover your own corruption is a long-standing issue for politicians and powerbrokers, to say nothing of police forces and militaries.
During the Falklands War, Berke Breathed did a cartoon about a British soldier calling out "Who goes there, friend or foe?" and the journalist yells back, "Press"—then has to jump in a foxhole as the British spray where he was standing with machinegun fire!
Telling the truth is expected in journalism, at least it used to be. Performing the basic expectations of your job doesn’t make you a hero. At my job, I get assaulted by 2nd and 3rd graders several times per week. I work with special needs kids who have zero emotional regulation. It’s expected that I will get hit, kicked, scratched or things thrown at me. Continuing to go to work every day to try again with these kids doesn’t make me or my colleagues heroes. Doing the right thing for the greater good is a privilege and journalism is no different. When they praise actors at the Oscars, I think, wow. How nice for them to get awards like that for doing their jobs. Must be nice.
You would think there was no real news in the world or the states. Off the top of my head N.Korea is sending 8000 troops to Ukrainian I don’t know what hideousness is going on with Israel today but no question that’s a shitshow. But we are newsing about apostrophes and not news but dumb fuckery with garbage trucks, this is not the news. Nazis in NYC that was newsworthy. I’m burning with rage!
I've been following THE MILITARY SHOW YouTube Channel so I heard about North Korean "special forces" soldiers* showing up to, allegedly, "help" Putin by handling tasks like border guards and the like to free up all those conscripts and mercenaries to soak up Ukrainian bullets. They, and I, wonder how long that'll last before Putin throws them into the meatgrinder....
The most interesting thing about watching this channel is how it lays Putin's incompetence and desperation bare for all to see—no wonder he and Trump get on so well, as they're two sides of the same counterfeit coin!
___
* I forget if it's this episode, but THE MILITARY SHOW makes the point that North Korea as something like 100,000 "Special Forces" soldiers—a figure that *real* Special Forces outfits like the Navy SEALS (2,900 members) or the British SAS (400-600 members) find pretty comical. Even U.S. Army Airborne, which my late Father-in-Law belonged to during the Korean War, only has 15,000 members, so the question is what makes the NK Special Forces so "special" when there are so many of them?
Yes, they are, and I gotta say I'm also glad it's from a local outlet in a swing state. It should be the lead story on every outlet in America, but it's good to see at least some media outlets have integrity and courage.
In the Bulwark one of the writers says the garbage move is Trump deflecting the medias attention from the Puerto Rico stand up comic's comments, because he needs to refocus the news, and get that out of the news cycle. He also needs to keep it on him and to control it, so even stumbling can garner more attention, than a just straightforward appearance.
The writer also said that Trump is rallying in Blue states to make his base think he is doing so well he is even going to sweep Blue States, making them more hopeful about voting. I think Blue candidates could use some of that energy. In fear of people staying home out of complacency, we are getting warned too much how close it is. Here is a dose of hope.
Yeah, that's gotta be the most thankless job. Why would anyone work for him in any capacity, let alone try to manage his trainwreck campaign? They are getting what they deserve.
Hi, Susan! Do you remember Jeff's post a few days ago, with the picture of the woman wearing a diaper and holding a sign that read "Real Men Wear Diapers"? Well, they are doing it for her and her kind.
I am only saying this because I'm not a real man: 81 and STILL not wearing diapers again. Just can't control my jealousy; the cosplay garbage man gets all the hot women. /s
Speaking of fascist fests, the audience for the far-right AfD speaker in Germany looked a lot like Trump’s fans. White, mostly past middle age, flabby. Frontline archive on PBS.
Now there’s an idea. Therapy, back and carpel tunnel surgeries for keyboard warriors, head injuries from banging our heads on the table. (Don’t get excited; though it’s Halloween, our heads are still attached when banging them).
Lisa59 for the win! A perfect morning for Hallow Weenie 2024.
Today, I’ll replicate this awesome comment! When dawn hits here on the Pacific, I shall pour coffee into my David Bowie Aladdin Sane mug, sip to The Byrds singing “Eight Miles High” and pop a Delta-9 Sativa gummy to supercharge my Friday Nov 1st.

His stumbling to get into the garbage truck isn't something he would of staged. The Howler monkeys of the GOP along with the media kept making Biden's age such an issue but as we see, Trump has serious medical issues that his dipshit campaign cronies like Steven Cheung can't cover up. In the meantime, good news was reported by Morgan Freeman on Twitter. Early voting in the swing state of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin has Harris Walz with a substantial lead over the demented fourth Reich garbageman/couch humper ticket. No time whatsoever to get complacent but this sounds very encouraging and hopefully will stay that way.
you know, my Apple watch tells me if it thinks I'm likely to fall down because my balance is impaired... (it sort of is, from a smashed ankle and a couple bouts of covid over the past year or so, so I hear from the watch occasionally, which is really fucking annoying lol)...
I wouldn't ever suggest someone needs to give the numbnutz an Apple watch, but maybe someone should tell him (or his handlers) that he may have significant impairment. Just in case they hadn't noticed.
Yea , if only Kamala had worked for the Sanitation and body waste plant . Or even said she did , it woulda been worth all the Repubs votes , to see him in a pile of it ....oooo yea , he sits in it daily ,and it spews from his mouth every minute .
I love how a truck of actual garbage is labeled "Trump." I think I’m going to call my garbage that now. Hey, honey! Don’t forget to take out the Trump can tonight. We have Trump pickup tomorrow. His generals can go into recycling, though. All except Gen. Flynn. Put him in the Trump can.
WE have to take the trash out, and make sure it STAYS out every time we vote. And we need to keep voting so we end up with a far better class of candidate than Donald Trump.
Of course, and was well deserved, but we know how the outrage machine works…fact remains he isn’t running and it should not really matter, but corporate media gotta get their clicks and eyeballs.
That’s all they were talking about on Faux so called news-how dare Biden call the orange guy’s followers “garbage “? Two days after Biden said it-they have nothing they can talk about because DJT makes a fool of himself every day
Can you even imagine LDFF taking OUT the garbage from his kitchen or office to the trash cans outside? That’s beneath his bloated imagine of himself to do!
The “Oscar the Grouch” comparisons are flooding my brain. He damn near fell into the garbage truck and conked his melon. That would have been the hottest video since “Grab ‘em by the pussy.”
In 1988, Sesame Street had an actual character called "Donald Grump" who was a con artist real estate developer who ripped off the poor people living in the alley.
I legit laughed out loud reading that. And then kept laughing hard enough I had to pause further reading to enjoy the mental image generated by the fucktangle of shitweasels
I think he's so far gone that his handlers tart him up. He's not even capable of slathering on his make-up any longer. Those white bellowing lips just make me want to puke. Could you imagine if he just started kissing you as he is wont to do?
What this retired doc sees is that besides his obvious cognitive impairment and massive and multiple personality disorders, he now has a progressive gait and balance disorder. He has an advancing neurocognitive disorder. This would suggest some type of dementing illness. Why are we letting someone like this run for the most powerful office in our country? Why is the press playing bothsiderism?
I honestly thought it was retouched. Like the widely-circulated meme of him climbing up a hill at a golf course with a poop stain on his white golf pants. Turns out it was more the "going up the steps of Air Force One with toilet paper literally stuck to his shoe."
He is ghastly. Inside and out. Are we entirely certain he isn't dead and being animated by something out of Elno Skum's secret lab?
I'm not trying to be mean here, but why do you feel the need to use my name every time you reply to my comments? I know you're talking to me, it's a reply.
I think in some of these long chains that get going here, it's hard to always track which comment you're responding to. By using our names, it makes it clearer which comment is referred to.
I don't necessarily take offense, but the connotation is that often men will do this to women to be condescending. I've experienced that a lot, and so even though I'm sure that's not what he's doing, it comes across like he's patting me on the head or being sarcastic.
Maybe Steve Miller, the painted-on hair guy, slaps the orange gunk on Trump and does his "fucktangle" hair. These people live in a fake reality bubble the size of the Las Vegas dome.
I’m uncertain Donnie knows what a Zoom meeting is, however point well taken, laughing at the mewling wastrel behind closed doors goes on everywhere Cassandra!
We can dream. I believe that he will flee if he loses. The Saudis would take him. FBI and CIA would let him leave because that relieves them of a lot of awkwardness and government can just move forward.
Saudis won't take him. They are trying to become a tourist nation as well as keeping their ties with us because of Iran. He would be a pariah. Russia sure won't take him. Putin has enough problems with the West as it is. He'd never last in N. Korea surrounded by those dreadful minorities he keep talking about. He'd have to be in a country that looks like him. As in WHITE. I can't think of anywhere else. There's no advantage of a country taking him in. Ruin your relationship with the US or take in an aging liar with no money. I think our national secrets were sold to the highest bidder a long time ago. He has absolutely nothing to offer a country so they'd want him. The whole world knows he's nothing but trouble.
Don't think so. Hungary is a member of NATO. Other than Trump, the leaders of our enemy countries aren't stupid like he is. What happens to Orban when Putin is gone? Still side with Russia even though you are now against your NATO brothers and sisters? The whole world knows how stupid and toxic Trump is. Plus he's old. Why would you risk ruining your country's relationship with the US to harbor him? What's in it for you? I'm sure our security secrets are long gone to the highest bidder from his administration. He's not got much money anymore. The world treats him like a pariah. Orban's not popular with his citizens. Hungary has an extradition treaty signed in 1995 with the US. I can't imagine he'd jeopardize his position to take on Trump because there's nothing in it for him.
Deborah Hunter: Spot-on re all points. Nailed it. Useless to everyone. Even his girlfriend Ivanka has gone into hiding. I wonder if she wears a camouflage wig when she goes out now? Jr can’t seem to function without something up his nose. And Eric? That poor schmuck. He’s still trying to prove he’s not Fredo. Hey fuck face, how does it feel to know that everything you touch dies?
His oldest children are just a hot mess - all in different ways. Ivana said she raised them - well let her rest in peace in her golf course hideaway, but I’m not giving her any kudos as a mom either. I think neglected Tiffany is probably the best of the bunch, but it’s because Marla got her away from the Trump family. Despite Melania’s denial in her book, I feel that Barron has a cognitive disorder and he’ll never be in public promoting his family or himself. Such a difference from the way Tim Walz has embraced the challenges his son has faced and is proud of him.
I don't think they would allow that. He may be demented but he WAS the resident, and as such, though not to you or me, he has "value" as a weapon/hostage. No country would take him in and just let him live in some palace. They'd sweat him for anything he can remember about our military/intelligence/defense secrets, and then they'd use him as a shield if needed. I don't imagine that he will be given an opportunity to leave the US should he try to flee.
Mussolini’s lifeless body was hung in the square upside down, for those with a club or cudgel… wishing for similar in Central Park, with a set of golf clubs nearby Cassandra!!
They are obeying in advance, something Dr. Timothy Snyder strongly advises against in his book "On Tyranny." They're falling in line in case he "wins" (steals) the election and gets back into power. The thing is, he is a grievance truffle pig - he could find the smallest grievance (an insult or a missed opportunity for praise) in the largest field of media coverage, and when he does, he will retaliate. They're fools to think they can escape his wrath by licking his ass.
Exactly. Everyone thinks they’re exempt from his wrath. It’s like they haven’t been paying attention. The more he declines cognitively, the less it will take for someone to cross him.
Why don’t they see that? Buying into him is a bottomless pit. The more you buy into him, the more likely it is you will fail in his eyes. And to the media, the more you play his fucking memememe game, the more you encourage people to support him. People will buy into whatever is most often in front of their eyes. If Drano bought “THE” selling shelf spot in the cereal aisle, people would be having Drano for breakfast. Kind of like what we are doing right now.
It's news. That's all they care about. What is the breaking news about Harris everyday? There isn't any. She gets up, gets dressed like a professional and goes about her business. No crazy remarks, she's not at Burger King making a Whopper or picking up your trash in a dress with a safety vest on. That is a new look - shirt/tie and safety vest. He's so big, it would be hard to not see him to run him over even without the vest. But him? Everyday it's toddler day. Just like a small child. You can never predict what the whining/crying will be about nor the mess he will make. You're terrified to leave your toddler alone.
"Every day is toddler day". Wow, that's the best description of the daily bs & actions. Real toddlers' brains and basic behavior is still developing. He's an adult with no filter or basic humanity
Toddlers poop in their pants, ramble on and on about nothing that makes sense and throw temper tantrums. What they don’t have, unless they have liver failure, is orange little faces. And they dance funny, just like he does.
The Nevada newspaper editors ain’t playing. Goddam heroic journalists.
Real journalists for the win
Sad that by just doing their fucking job is considered “heroic”.
Deeply true.
"Just doing your fucking job" as a journalist is often heroic, because using the press as a whipping boy to cover your own corruption is a long-standing issue for politicians and powerbrokers, to say nothing of police forces and militaries.

Sandi, not really brave at all. I felt it was toned down, like it's not a big deal. Nothing to see here, move along.
Damn straight Sandi!
Perfectly said.
Last I heard 21% of Americans TRUST corporate media anymore...and BTW, bigots and racists are fucking garbage,and can fuck all the way off.
Exactly. And Biden said it anyway. Not Kamala. Biden IS the POTUS. He isn’t running. Stupid media.
Stupid or willfully on the side of billionaire autocracy

Team Trump went from making him fry fries at McDonalds because of Harris to driving in a garbage truck because of Biden🤭😂
What a team!🤣
It’s crazy. Why are they doing this-it makes Dump look even more insane!!
Got to love Jeff’s “cognitively-impaired Oompa Loompa”!
Damn, who the fuck does his makeup?
frightening, ain't it?
It's Makedown, not Makeup.
JD of course, right after he does his own HI2!
Mar a Lardo Body and Paint
He does it himself 😂
And that's exactly what trump looks like in that pic.
(Don't forget "anus mouth", perfect 😂)
I don’t think they can stop him. He does what he wants. What they COULD do is quit.
Yeah, that's gotta be the most thankless job. Why would anyone work for him in any capacity, let alone try to manage his trainwreck campaign? They are getting what they deserve.
I was just wondering if they are doing on purpose because they know they won’t get paid.
Drumph pays NO ONE! And if you work for him….well tough shit. Try filing for unemployment
Exactly Susan! However, the ignorance of his election team appears to match trumps sciolism!!
Hi, Susan! Do you remember Jeff's post a few days ago, with the picture of the woman wearing a diaper and holding a sign that read "Real Men Wear Diapers"? Well, they are doing it for her and her kind.
I am only saying this because I'm not a real man: 81 and STILL not wearing diapers again. Just can't control my jealousy; the cosplay garbage man gets all the hot women. /s
😂😂 "All the hot women"! HA! These folks need serious help.
You win the internet today.
Is that possible? 🤔😉
😂😂😂
Because they're all insane!
Because they're all insane!🥴🥴
And they're all garbage. If the clown shoe fits, wear it, Team Trump. They scripted the Fascist Fest at MSG, giggling all the way.
Speaking of fascist fests, the audience for the far-right AfD speaker in Germany looked a lot like Trump’s fans. White, mostly past middle age, flabby. Frontline archive on PBS.
Carol, thanks for the reference. Will check it out.
Sir Dump.
More assinine is more like it. But your point is well taken.
We should sue Trump for the cost of our therapy from his ten years of terrorism.
Now there’s an idea. Therapy, back and carpel tunnel surgeries for keyboard warriors, head injuries from banging our heads on the table. (Don’t get excited; though it’s Halloween, our heads are still attached when banging them).
Speak for yourself! at this point, not totally sure mine IS still attached lol
Banging your head on tables on account of invincible ignorance, sounds painful Cassandra… Happy Halloween!!
Colour me impressed Lisa, gummies for breakfast and coffee out of a Paul Wellie cup is more than just a few steps beyond cool!!
Lisa59 for the win! A perfect morning for Hallow Weenie 2024.

We need to start spreading the rumor that Kamala "claims" she was one of those costumed animal characters at Chuck E. Cheese...but was she?
He’d do better at Hooters.
ew!! lol
Say it again, louder this time Tess!!
Or maybe a ballerina?
He could read to kids in the library in drag
Only problem Lynn is, the execrable tosspot’s illiterate!

Or not. I'm okay with not.
un poco loco, I am beginning to believe those people who think he is drugged. That looked like an "I'm too high to walk" moment to me.
I thought drunk when I saw it, but sure -- high works too :)
Too early Rick - just too early.
I want to hear the same for states like Texas Georgia NC AZ— THAT would be
nice!
How about red state Iowa? Seems too good to be true but I hope it is
Trump doesn’t belong riding shotgun in a garbage truck, he’s the dross that needs incineration!!
One of the late night comedians made the point that he (the garbage) belongs in the back of the truck.
‘DROSS’ FTW 🏆‼️
How about Ramaswamy riding on the back of the garage truck? What a suck up-wonder what cabinet position he’s trying out for?
Yea , if only Kamala had worked for the Sanitation and body waste plant . Or even said she did , it woulda been worth all the Repubs votes , to see him in a pile of it ....oooo yea , he sits in it daily ,and it spews from his mouth every minute .
Rapturous rant Robert, I thought being buried in a landfill, or a garbage burner would be sufficient, but I definitely see your point!
Cool! Let's see what else we can make him do! See if Kamala can hang-glide!
Bridge bungee jumping, or skydiving would be fun Robert!
I love how a truck of actual garbage is labeled "Trump." I think I’m going to call my garbage that now. Hey, honey! Don’t forget to take out the Trump can tonight. We have Trump pickup tomorrow. His generals can go into recycling, though. All except Gen. Flynn. Put him in the Trump can.
Bad enough he was a passenger, not in with the dross where he belongs, but driving would be fucking scary Jenny!
Jenny Bizzoco, when you phrase it like that, it's fucking hilarious and brilliant on both Kamala and Joe's part.
It’s like Taylor Swift said. The trash takes itself out.
:::: bowing :::::
Sadly, that's not really true.
WE have to take the trash out, and make sure it STAYS out every time we vote. And we need to keep voting so we end up with a far better class of candidate than Donald Trump.
Also, someone pointed out that as a convicted felon he couldn’t be hired to be a garbage man in actuality
Laughable stuff anti!!
MEMO TO CORPORATE MEDIA HACKS: BIDEN ISN’T RUNNING IN THIS ELECTION! That is all.
Fact is Biden shoveled some of Trump’s rhetoric back in his face, along with being rather blunt and truthful Kate!
Of course, and was well deserved, but we know how the outrage machine works…fact remains he isn’t running and it should not really matter, but corporate media gotta get their clicks and eyeballs.
Abso Fuckinglutely Kate!!
That’s all they were talking about on Faux so called news-how dare Biden call the orange guy’s followers “garbage “? Two days after Biden said it-they have nothing they can talk about because DJT makes a fool of himself every day
Jesus. That image of him as a garbage man is not only an insult to actual sanitation workers, it’s also Halloween nightmare fuel.
I think this can accurately be called America's Longest Week. Last Tuesday was a year ago, wasn't it?
Doc Blase, seems like more to me.
Can you even imagine LDFF taking OUT the garbage from his kitchen or office to the trash cans outside? That’s beneath his bloated imagine of himself to do!
Who’s doing his makeup? He must be doing it himself
Him shambling into a garbage truck is a meme that will last forever. 🤣🤣🤣
The “Oscar the Grouch” comparisons are flooding my brain. He damn near fell into the garbage truck and conked his melon. That would have been the hottest video since “Grab ‘em by the pussy.”
How I wish he had fallen. Both sides that, you so-called journalists.
It was touch and go, arne. That big bag of goo was wobbling like a Weeble. Can you hear his team planning his entrance?
“Somebody has to walk him over there and help him up.”
“Nah, it’s only a few steps, he’ll be fine. If we hold his arm it will ruin the “epic iconic moment.”
Right, Sean Hannity?
Forklift anybody?
Walter, well put.
Donnie’s “perfectly executed” ending Walter!!
But would have that gained the
“sympathy” vote from the 4 dozen people still undecided?
🍊💩🏄♂️ catching the big wave …
In 1988, Sesame Street had an actual character called "Donald Grump" who was a con artist real estate developer who ripped off the poor people living in the alley.
Ok. Was that a real Sesame Street character or a joke. Cuz if real, I gotta see those eps!
It's real -- https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Donald_Grump
Another more comprehensive reference -- https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/entertainthis/2017/03/21/sesame-street-v-trump-shows-long-history-mocking-donald-grump/99445290/
Wow-unbelievable irony! 😆
Teri. Very real. I believe there two Sesame Street episodes featuring him. Absolutely before their time.
Jeff, can you make the clip go viral???
Here is a video!! https://youtu.be/-_r6iojNnYg?si=BbXYlrbl2sAG-fmi
Donald Grump is buried treasure
Ditto!!!
Oscar has much more class and is sane.
❤️❤️❤️
That’s true, Diane. I meant no disrespect towards one of the few hand puppets that I tolerate well.
maga is a ‘FUCKTANGLE OF SHITWEASELS’ should be a motto or an adjective or an adverb or all three !
I'm trying to imagine a ‘FUCKTANGLE OF SHITWEASELS’ as a coat of arms. It would be different.
I believe we’ve been seeing it the past nine years, but a great t-shirt could be made with the words and image!
Patrick, eww, but yeah 🤢
🤣😂
😂
That admirable phrase was from a Jeff-posted tweet from 2018. So Jeff has devoted years to refining and expanding his #OrangeTurd adjectives. 😂
His turdecisms?
Love that this has a ‘history’ !!
Unfortunately it applies more fittingly today than it did 6 years ago. More of a fucktangle begats more of the shotweasels.
I legit laughed out loud reading that. And then kept laughing hard enough I had to pause further reading to enjoy the mental image generated by the fucktangle of shitweasels
This may end up my status on FB. Perfect. Of course, with credit as credit is due.
HOW ON EARTH DOES HE THINK HE LOOKS GOOD LIKE THAT my G-d he looks like burnt chicken.
Brings new meaning to the term Shit Faced.
Even ruins that one, along with "huge" "truth" "patriot" and so many more.
I think he's so far gone that his handlers tart him up. He's not even capable of slathering on his make-up any longer. Those white bellowing lips just make me want to puke. Could you imagine if he just started kissing you as he is wont to do?
What this retired doc sees is that besides his obvious cognitive impairment and massive and multiple personality disorders, he now has a progressive gait and balance disorder. He has an advancing neurocognitive disorder. This would suggest some type of dementing illness. Why are we letting someone like this run for the most powerful office in our country? Why is the press playing bothsiderism?
More $$ and power for TPTB agenda Stephen!
I honestly thought it was retouched. Like the widely-circulated meme of him climbing up a hill at a golf course with a poop stain on his white golf pants. Turns out it was more the "going up the steps of Air Force One with toilet paper literally stuck to his shoe."
He is ghastly. Inside and out. Are we entirely certain he isn't dead and being animated by something out of Elno Skum's secret lab?
Looks like rotting lab created meat to me fun!
Wunderschönes Anagramm! Elno Skum shall be his name, henceforth and forever.
I would bathe in battery acid.
That’s some serious funny Alison!
I'm not trying to be mean here, but why do you feel the need to use my name every time you reply to my comments? I know you're talking to me, it's a reply.
I think in some of these long chains that get going here, it's hard to always track which comment you're responding to. By using our names, it makes it clearer which comment is referred to.
What Nancy said.
No offense meant. He does the same thing to everyone. It's his way
I don't necessarily take offense, but the connotation is that often men will do this to women to be condescending. I've experienced that a lot, and so even though I'm sure that's not what he's doing, it comes across like he's patting me on the head or being sarcastic.
I do that too sometimes to personalize the comment and make that friend in this awesome tribe feel seen.
How I love this tribe. You are my people.
The worst Halloween nightmare🤢🤮😱🤡💩
If any of the female Trump hangers-on showed up with their makeup done that badly, they'd be thrown out of Mar-a-Lago.
Huh. I always figured he had handlers do his hair and makeup. He was fucking blotchy yesterday.
Maybe Steve Miller, the painted-on hair guy, slaps the orange gunk on Trump and does his "fucktangle" hair. These people live in a fake reality bubble the size of the Las Vegas dome.
He's just practicing his pucker for the next time he kisses Putin's ass.
Pass.
That was in response to arne. A good reason to use names.
Actually burst out laughing at this! You win the intar-nets today.
A+ post.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Near where I live we capture the methane gas coming off of our landfill…just a thought for the future.
Face it. Trump is an unwitting errand boy for the rich and powerful who, in return, allow him the fantasy that he's one of them.
I agree. I think they must have ‘laugh-at-donny’ Zoom meetings.
I’m uncertain Donnie knows what a Zoom meeting is, however point well taken, laughing at the mewling wastrel behind closed doors goes on everywhere Cassandra!
imo turd thinks a Zoom meeting is a fast ride in a speeding #GarbageTruck
🤦♀️🤪
That’s the point; he doesn’t, so he won’t be invited He wouldn’t even know it was happening.
A useful idiot, who’s outlived his usefulness, for the Uber-wealthy Rhesus!!
Exactly Rhesus!
Trying to stay positive, here. Two good things can happen in November: first TFG loses the election, second Judge Merchan locks him up.
We can dream. I believe that he will flee if he loses. The Saudis would take him. FBI and CIA would let him leave because that relieves them of a lot of awkwardness and government can just move forward.
Saudis won't take him. They are trying to become a tourist nation as well as keeping their ties with us because of Iran. He would be a pariah. Russia sure won't take him. Putin has enough problems with the West as it is. He'd never last in N. Korea surrounded by those dreadful minorities he keep talking about. He'd have to be in a country that looks like him. As in WHITE. I can't think of anywhere else. There's no advantage of a country taking him in. Ruin your relationship with the US or take in an aging liar with no money. I think our national secrets were sold to the highest bidder a long time ago. He has absolutely nothing to offer a country so they'd want him. The whole world knows he's nothing but trouble.
Hungary might take him.
Don't think so. Hungary is a member of NATO. Other than Trump, the leaders of our enemy countries aren't stupid like he is. What happens to Orban when Putin is gone? Still side with Russia even though you are now against your NATO brothers and sisters? The whole world knows how stupid and toxic Trump is. Plus he's old. Why would you risk ruining your country's relationship with the US to harbor him? What's in it for you? I'm sure our security secrets are long gone to the highest bidder from his administration. He's not got much money anymore. The world treats him like a pariah. Orban's not popular with his citizens. Hungary has an extradition treaty signed in 1995 with the US. I can't imagine he'd jeopardize his position to take on Trump because there's nothing in it for him.
Thanks, Deborah. Good to know.
Deborah Hunter: Spot-on re all points. Nailed it. Useless to everyone. Even his girlfriend Ivanka has gone into hiding. I wonder if she wears a camouflage wig when she goes out now? Jr can’t seem to function without something up his nose. And Eric? That poor schmuck. He’s still trying to prove he’s not Fredo. Hey fuck face, how does it feel to know that everything you touch dies?
His oldest children are just a hot mess - all in different ways. Ivana said she raised them - well let her rest in peace in her golf course hideaway, but I’m not giving her any kudos as a mom either. I think neglected Tiffany is probably the best of the bunch, but it’s because Marla got her away from the Trump family. Despite Melania’s denial in her book, I feel that Barron has a cognitive disorder and he’ll never be in public promoting his family or himself. Such a difference from the way Tim Walz has embraced the challenges his son has faced and is proud of him.
Perfect Deborah, Epstein island getaway, sans teenage girls???
Patrick, what makes you think sans teenage girls. Those contestants he bragged about sexually assaulting were mostly teenage young women.
I don't think they would allow that. He may be demented but he WAS the resident, and as such, though not to you or me, he has "value" as a weapon/hostage. No country would take him in and just let him live in some palace. They'd sweat him for anything he can remember about our military/intelligence/defense secrets, and then they'd use him as a shield if needed. I don't imagine that he will be given an opportunity to leave the US should he try to flee.
Ignoble poltroons gotta run, where is the question!
But make him leave without any documents, from our documents to his own passport. Let him be “illegal” and ask for asylum.
At one of The Felon's arrests and bookings (hard to keep track) didn't one of the jurisdictions make him give up his passports?
Wonder if Vlad would let him in?
Exactly Arne!
Third and the one I hope for every day, TFG has an ST-elevated myocardial infarction while eating a hamberder.
Nah, I want him to lose, to become a pariah, and to sit at Mar-a-Lago in some out-of-body experience. The things I could wish upon this man.
Mussolini’s lifeless body was hung in the square upside down, for those with a club or cudgel… wishing for similar in Central Park, with a set of golf clubs nearby Cassandra!!
Hardly enough suffering, for the tsuris he’s put this country through Doc!
Haven’t thought of Judge Merchan since he crapped the bed, refusing to sentence Diaper Donny to the 4 years in prison he so richly deserved.
Please please please!
He doesn't have to wait for November
Nice that his vest matches his orange face.
I came here to say that. His face is as orange as his vest, and what’s with the white circle around his mouth?
Why can't Trixie Mattel just do his make-up from now on?
I think it's chapstick. I usually use Burt's Bees, but purchased Chapstick recently. It made my lips turn white.
But Hemorrhoid Cream is funnier, and probably true. Melanoma told him it was good for wrinkles.
Actually I knew a goofy woman, 60-ish (20 years ago) who DID use Prep H for special occasions for face wrinkles. 🧐
😂🤣🤮😂🤣
Yes, that’s it. At first, I thought Desitin for diaper rash.
😂😂😂😂😂
Well dug Lisa!
It was an insult to all “sanitation engineers.” Those guys do real work, something the tiny, puffy hands of Donald Drumpf have never experienced.
Can you imagine living to the age of 78 and never, EVER have done any manual labor?
I'd love to see him on the back of a garbage truck in Vegas when it's 115. lol lol
I’d fly down from Reno to help stuff him in the back.
Walter:
The list…
Never made a sandwich
Never went to the market
Never watered a garden
Never washed a dish.
And so so much more.
Completely missing the point that life is made up of these mundane little moments that are part and parcel to building character.
Oh … and never changed a diaper, not even his own.
Why oh why does the press cover him with a teflon coat?
They are obeying in advance, something Dr. Timothy Snyder strongly advises against in his book "On Tyranny." They're falling in line in case he "wins" (steals) the election and gets back into power. The thing is, he is a grievance truffle pig - he could find the smallest grievance (an insult or a missed opportunity for praise) in the largest field of media coverage, and when he does, he will retaliate. They're fools to think they can escape his wrath by licking his ass.
Exactly. Everyone thinks they’re exempt from his wrath. It’s like they haven’t been paying attention. The more he declines cognitively, the less it will take for someone to cross him.
And buckling under to him today only means you'll have to bow down even further tomorrow to avoid his wrath.
Nancy Potter:
Why don’t they see that? Buying into him is a bottomless pit. The more you buy into him, the more likely it is you will fail in his eyes. And to the media, the more you play his fucking memememe game, the more you encourage people to support him. People will buy into whatever is most often in front of their eyes. If Drano bought “THE” selling shelf spot in the cereal aisle, people would be having Drano for breakfast. Kind of like what we are doing right now.
Grievance truffle pig - good one!
Dang didn't mean to duplicate your post; didn't see it--
💰💰💰💰💰💰💰
It's news. That's all they care about. What is the breaking news about Harris everyday? There isn't any. She gets up, gets dressed like a professional and goes about her business. No crazy remarks, she's not at Burger King making a Whopper or picking up your trash in a dress with a safety vest on. That is a new look - shirt/tie and safety vest. He's so big, it would be hard to not see him to run him over even without the vest. But him? Everyday it's toddler day. Just like a small child. You can never predict what the whining/crying will be about nor the mess he will make. You're terrified to leave your toddler alone.
"Every day is toddler day". Wow, that's the best description of the daily bs & actions. Real toddlers' brains and basic behavior is still developing. He's an adult with no filter or basic humanity
Toddlers poop in their pants, ramble on and on about nothing that makes sense and throw temper tantrums. What they don’t have, unless they have liver failure, is orange little faces. And they dance funny, just like he does.
They're afraid of what he'll do them if he regains power.
Wealthy corporate media owners hate paying taxes, is the simple answer Koko!
Obeying in advance.
Enough of this fool! Vote these crazy ass people OUT! Oh- and happy Halloween 🤷🏻♀️🤗
Happy Halloween to you too,Tess!
Ditto Tess and everyone here!!
Happy Halloween. Be sure to bring your yard signs in; the MAGATs will be out, thinking that if they destroy property you’ll be intimidated. Don’t be.
They already stole 2 of mine. I'll put others out tomorrow.
