This was a really good column, even by your standards. I laughed like Woody Woodpecker on ecstasy. I would have loved also a meme of Leon Black in the courtroom in the final Curb/Enthusiasm episode, yelling “YOU’RE FUCKED!”
I usually am smiling or laughing while reading your articles because they are so spot on and your choice of words are remarkably suitable. It’s amazing to feel a sense of relief when reading truth in reporting. Once upon a time, hearing the truth on any form of media wasn’t a rare treat. Thank you Jeff for noting the euphemism & intentionally misleading use of “hush money”. It’s called a crime.
Smiling from ear to ear just like most of the Nation reading your post. Commander Crazy Pants has lost his luster. Hearing "former" Republicans are abandoning the brown hued, formerly orange, rapist, whose a treasonous, bloviated liar as he professes being ahead in the polls is another moronic comment that's laughable.
Truly enjoy your assessments EVERY time Jeff, thank you!!
Symptoms of schadenfreude overdose : inexplicably happy mood for the duration of the day (warning : advisable to hide checkbook due to impulsive excess charitable donations response)
I'd feel sorry for the people who bought stock but let's face it. Doing business with Donald Trump is right up there with getting involved in a land war in Asia.
Serves them right! Maybe they’ll learn not to trust anything he tells/sells them since they got burned. (But then they’re all cult members, so maybe not.)
No apologies needed. You’re doing amazing work with this “little column” you put out regularly. It’s pretty much my go-to for the real story on what’s happening to the “orange puss bucket” (special props to Joanne Filipi for that … gonna be my new moniker for asshat).
I, too, wish for that day. Sometimes, it's the only thing that keeps me going. Unfortunately, the damage he has done will last indefinitely. On a micro scale, families have been destroyed. On a macro level, the world.
He looks rough in those court photos. His eyes look like 2 piss holes in a snow bank. Apparently from being in the fetal position crying about his victimization.
Trump's lawyers are between a rock and a hard place. They could get him off for mental deterioration or incompetence to stand trial, but if they do that, then they will be admitting he is not fit to be president.
He’ll never let them use that as a defense..his ego is just too big. He’d probably rather go to jail, than admit that he’s wrong about ANYTHING! But whatever works to get him there is perfectly fine with me!
Waiting for T to implode, explode, or melt down… it will happen in Judge Merchan’s courtroom. My Monday freak-thought is that T make fake a health event to delay… get taken to hospital. Or behave so outrageously that Judge M will have to divert from trial to deal with intentionally disruptive behavior. It’s T’s pathetic and predictable chess-move (even though he would not know how to set up a chess board).
I’m not so sure he won’t use the dain bramage out at some point.If he’s found guilty and he thinks a 6’x9” condo is in his future, the yellow bellied coward might just shit his pants and flop to the floor drooling,babbling and crying 😭 I’m a god you have no right! He’ll convince himself that he’s out smarting the Judge and a rubber room is not a cell,then his crack legal team will have top notch psychiatric professionals get him out to rally his troops for the new final solution! You never know what bounces around in his make believe brain! 🧠 He’s probably got 25 different schemes ready for any given situation!🤪
I don't even need him to be in pain when he drops, even joy will suffice. I will still have a reason to celebrate and can imagine that Putin will squirm in his palace. Hopefully he has plan B ready! Surrender MF!
Will prosecutors be able to stand so that they obscure trumps grumpy threatening face? Or have I been watching too much tv? That look, with knowledge that he has reached out and damaged people’s lives in a variety of sneaky ways, may be too much to handle.
Sununu knows that there isn’t majority support for Trump. But he and almost every other Republican are really afraid of the 30% of Republicans who mindlessly support Trump, no matter what. Why? Easy, people like Sununu would rather placate Trump and his cult than risk their own chances in the general election by criticizing or outright opposing the scumbag.
That instant of Sununu handing over his tiny balls to Trump on a tapas plate was fantastically disgusting. I think I saw a look of regret on Steph’s face as he got this once-respected politician doubling down on Daffy Don. When will they learn? A: November. Here lies the once mighty Republican Party, 1854-2024. “Learn from us: we believed our own press.”
It is that these Republicans are all afraid of being punished by their donors if they don't back Trump. They are all slithering, slimy seditious snakes, making sure they are as low as they can go to kowtow to their feared leader, Putin aka Trump!
I read the HCR 14-APR piece also. I find their gamble supporting Trump pointless, unwinnable because 1) Trump is ill 2) Trump is in the crosshairs of the law 3) Trump is an asset for the KGB and, this is the most important point 4) Trump doesn't care about loyalty - the devotion he requires is endless. He can extract loyalty through cruelty and then is more than happy to inflict punishment. So, there is NOTHING to be gained from supporting Trump. There is no future worth having in a Trump hell-scape.
Impatience. Republicans want a shortcut to power and money. Many of the lowlifes vying for Trump access would never amount to anything so grand in a meritocracy. As willing accomplices to grifting, to transforming the USA into a cleptocracy, they will seize that mantel of control with blind zeal.
Apparently, the Nazi leader, Goring, was enthralled by uniform design and paraded around in glitzy, white garments no one else wore. An example of crazed illusions of grandeur for people who value self-importance over doing the boring work of governing.
Slithering, slimy, seditious snakes. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎉🎉 I have to write a song that has that for the chorus! (Even though the “s” is difficult to sing well). Any of you may do so also!
That 51% bullshit from Sununu is about as embellished as Trump constantly proclaiming his innocence. More than likely, you'll see that much support or even more in places like many of the peckerwood dominated areas south of the Mason Dixon line but not across the board. Sununu, like many others in the GOP, do lack the balls to speak the truth but a few convictions over time may contribute to a few positive flip flops for a change.
Jury selection begins today, I cannot wait until the actual trial begins, and all of the evidence against him is laid out for all the world to see! He will be ranting and raving on his cheap Twitter wannabe every minute he isn’t seated in the courtroom.
Is TS a Twitter wannabe or has Twitter become a TS wannabe? I’ve lost my bearings. But regardless, I agree with you. Trump is gonna make tantrums great again.
For 34 years I've been 'down for the defense' akin to Horace Rumpole (of the Bailey), as a criminal defense attorney. However, I'd gladly volunteer as a prosecutor for the TFG "Fungus". For once, "GUILTY" will be music to my ears.
Sununu isn't put off by grifter Trump because HE'S a grifter. He billed the taxpayers for hundreds of thousands of dollars for travel expenses while he was in the administration. Sununu may be the current spokes for the Leopard Eating Faces party, but he's kidding himself if he thinks a second Trump term will be good for anyone. In the meantime, I'm gratified to see X posters handing him his ass all morning long. Not that he cares, because sociopath.
Trump and all the crap needs to be over and done. Despite having crooked Republicans in the White House before, all Americans have suffered endlessly from Trump's very existence. It all needs to be over and done, and he may do it himself.
I have always maintained that the fake wispy shit on his head tells you all you need to know about the man. Older Son met him - part of his military service, not by choice - and commented on how thin and transparent that shit is.
Right? I long for the day when my first thought every morning is not, “is he dead yet”? And that, not one single thought comes into my head for a whole day, about what a shit show we’ve been living through, bc of him, since he ascended his fat ass down that escalator! I wish we could erase him from our collective memories!
Son of Sununu is as disgusting as Father Sununu. I really never pegged him as this level of outrageous suck-up. And he's wrong with his snarky snarkedy comment, "Yes, I'll vote for him like 51% of the country." Trump has never cracked 51% much less of the entire country.
Ms. Spouse, walking past my home office door as I was working on this post: "are you enjoying yourself?"
me: "why do you ask"
Ms. Spouse: "because you're smiling as you're typing"
guilty as charged
Smiling the whole time reading this! YES 🙌 Fucking Yes! This is the best day ever! And I hope the beginning of the end for the orange puss bucket!
“Puss bucket” has me dying!! 😂😂
🤭
Grab ‘em by the … puss bucket lol
🤣😂
Puss bucket 🤣🤣
It’s perfect!
Puss bucket? 🤣😂🤣
This was a really good column, even by your standards. I laughed like Woody Woodpecker on ecstasy. I would have loved also a meme of Leon Black in the courtroom in the final Curb/Enthusiasm episode, yelling “YOU’RE FUCKED!”
oh that would have been good, yeah
Yea, I want yell out in glee, “FUCK YOU AND THE PARADE YOU RODE IN ON, ASSHOLE!

"excess charitable donations”
That's how the righteous go out of control.
You would have been entitled to also cackle….maniacally. 😈
If it is possible to die of schadenfreude, I'd be happy to take one for the team. Sometimes a suicide mission makes sense.
oh man!
usually when I'm writing these things I'm hammering away on the keyboard in anger
No, this was perfect! We felt the joy in it! Thank you!
I love Ms. Spouse!
😆😆😆
As you should be.
oh, and Trump Media stock is in the shitter right now. it opened below 30. https://www.cnn.com/markets/stocks/DJT
Tesla is having a bit of a bad day as well. I hope this means that Karma is catching up with RWNJs.
🙏🏻
That stock is going to take a swirly in the cess pool this week.
It should with all the Russian money laundering involved.
I'd feel sorry for the people who bought stock but let's face it. Doing business with Donald Trump is right up there with getting involved in a land war in Asia.
Ha! 👸👰♀️ reference. Love it!
they were all warned about donny's scams.
Beautiful!!!
Every time I need a microdose of schadenfreude I click right here (never disappoints, always going down:)
https://yhoo.it/3PBKRET
Could this day get any fucking better !!!!
🤭
A $30 share price would make this about $29.95 overvalued.
Wonderful!!👍
Hallelujah (from a nonChtistian)!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I just wrote a short substack speculating that donny knew damn well he would be bankrupting his rubes when he begged them to purchase his meme stock,
Serves them right! Maybe they’ll learn not to trust anything he tells/sells them since they got burned. (But then they’re all cult members, so maybe not.)
Hey, you'll never guess where I'm reading this!
The Greater Fool Theory confirmed in spades!
I love it!!
I hurried this one along to get it posted before too much of the trial got underway. apologies for any rough edges
Rough edges deemed to be undetectable in your column. Stop. I, too, am smile-typing on this, DAY ONE of the portly predator's "Day in Court
“the portly predator”…. certainly worthy of an honorable mention. 👏
The Brits would call him a “sex pest” and that should be adopted over here.
Yes, I’m adding it to my list.
No apologies needed. You’re doing amazing work with this “little column” you put out regularly. It’s pretty much my go-to for the real story on what’s happening to the “orange puss bucket” (special props to Joanne Filipi for that … gonna be my new moniker for asshat).
Closest to one of the happiest days of my life. The happiest will be when this shitbag is convicted and sent to prison.
I, too, wish for that day. Sometimes, it's the only thing that keeps me going. Unfortunately, the damage he has done will last indefinitely. On a micro scale, families have been destroyed. On a macro level, the world.
Well you're too kind. I'm waiting for him to join oj
And their mutual pal Jeffrey Epstein
Abso fuckin lutely
Yeah. They can have a party, just the 3 of them, in a VERY HOT place 24/7 for all eternity.
Weaselburger may have a mysterious heart attack during this his return to Rikers
😂😂
Personally, the happiest day of my life was when I first became a mother. And coincidentally, this is the 37th anniversary of that very special day!
I understand! That’s why I said closest.
it is to the everlasting disgrace of DOJ that Bragg is the first one out of the barn.
cosigned
I’m so glad you are here to join us in the festival of commentary.
They call it Stormy Monday but Tuesday's just as bad
Wednesday's worse
Thursday's also sad.
OK, Great. Now that song is going to play in my head all day. Good job, though.
😂😂😂 same here
He looks rough in those court photos. His eyes look like 2 piss holes in a snow bank. Apparently from being in the fetal position crying about his victimization.
Yeah, he was rage tweeting all night long
Without a doubt. 🤣
I like the Allman Brothers version better…..🍊🎼🎶🎹🎸❗️
YESSSSSSSS! And, performed by Eric Clapton!!
Trump's lawyers are between a rock and a hard place. They could get him off for mental deterioration or incompetence to stand trial, but if they do that, then they will be admitting he is not fit to be president.

You are right Joanne. His ego is warped and will never permit him to admit weakness or culpability or responsibility
I’m not so sure he won’t use the dain bramage out at some point.If he’s found guilty and he thinks a 6’x9” condo is in his future, the yellow bellied coward might just shit his pants and flop to the floor drooling,babbling and crying 😭 I’m a god you have no right!

Absolulu !
Seeing that ugly puss frowning at the guilty table....hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Now if only he'd drop dead with that look on his freakish face
I don't even need him to be in pain when he drops, even joy will suffice. I will still have a reason to celebrate and can imagine that Putin will squirm in his palace. Hopefully he has plan B ready! Surrender MF!
I saw gqp saying drumpf isn't working with putin. In which universe do they breathe?
The twilight zone!
I will have the biggest celebration party when that fat pig drops to the ground. But party we will!
He was up all night rage " truthing" he looked shittier than usual today. Those rheumy red eyes ! 🤣
YES
Will prosecutors be able to stand so that they obscure trumps grumpy threatening face? Or have I been watching too much tv? That look, with knowledge that he has reached out and damaged people’s lives in a variety of sneaky ways, may be too much to handle.
His face is hysterical! So pathetic. Just like he is.
Sununu is a piece of shit just like his father.
The apple did not fall far from that family tree. Fuck Sununu and the rest of the MAGAts cult!
And the contract with America, celebrity-worshipping, trickle-down economics voodoo bullshit they rode in on.
Well stated!
Sununu knows that there isn’t majority support for Trump. But he and almost every other Republican are really afraid of the 30% of Republicans who mindlessly support Trump, no matter what. Why?

Sununu is such a slimy trump sucker, wonder what the PAB is holding over his numb noggin ?
Heather Cox Richardson discussed the donor phenom yesterday or this morning on her Substack.
https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/april-14-2024
It is that these Republicans are all afraid of being punished by their donors if they don't back Trump. They are all slithering, slimy seditious snakes, making sure they are as low as they can go to kowtow to their feared leader, Putin aka Trump!
Zero. ZERO profiles in courage, anywhere, in the grotesque old party.
I read the HCR 14-APR piece also. I find their gamble supporting Trump pointless, unwinnable because 1) Trump is ill 2) Trump is in the crosshairs of the law 3) Trump is an asset for the KGB and, this is the most important point 4) Trump doesn't care about loyalty - the devotion he requires is endless.

But why haven’t the Repugnants bowing down to him figured this out yet?

Excellent commentary. Trump hasn’t started wearing a uniform yet. Perhaps his hair color and combover represent his unique uniform .
Great alliteration!
What a meme that'd make, snakes with the seditious Repub faces on them......
Well said!!👏👏👏 I completely agree
Slithering, slimy, seditious snakes. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎉🎉 I have to write a song that has that for the chorus! (Even though the “s” is difficult to sing well). Any of you may do so also!

Thirty-pieces-of-silver-Sununu! Sell your soul, buddy!
He and all the Republican traitors will only have themselves to thank for hanging themselves on Trump's mafia family tree.
Jury selection begins today, I cannot wait until the actual trial begins, and all of the evidence against him is laid out for all the world to see! He will be ranting and raving on his cheap Twitter wannabe every minute he isn’t seated in the courtroom.
Is TS a Twitter wannabe or has Twitter become a TS wannabe? I’ve lost my bearings. But regardless, I agree with you. Trump is gonna make tantrums great again.
Good point!
DJT down $5.00 / ~ 15% and falling!!! Another reason to smile!!!
Nice!!! Thanks for the smile!!

Years ago, Michael Moore said, “Get him under oath, and he’ll do the rest.”
I doubt he will testify even though he’s says he will.
He lies like the rug on his head.
I have always maintained that the fake wispy shit on his head tells you all you need to know about the man. Older Son met him - part of his military service, not by choice - and commented on how thin and transparent that shit is.
The back i of his coif, looks so bad today you can see the bald section. He bragged about his hairstyling ability!
" I'm an artist ". LOL !
From your lips to God’s ears.
Right? I long for the day when my first thought every morning is not, “is he dead yet”? And that, not one single thought comes into my head for a whole day, about what a shit show we’ve been living through, bc of him, since he ascended his fat ass down that escalator! I wish we could erase him from our collective memories!
Chris NO SHAME Sunnunu
Suck Up Sunnunu.
Sappy Sunnunu
Scummy Sunnunu
Sadistic Sunnunu
The Absolute smugness when speaking.
Arrogance personified.
Son of Sununu is as disgusting as Father Sununu. I really never pegged him as this level of outrageous suck-up. And he's wrong with his snarky snarkedy comment, "Yes, I'll vote for him like 51% of the country." Trump has never cracked 51% much less of the entire country.
Its shows the depth to which they have sunk, and I am thoroughly convinced that there is no bottom
Ditto.
