this post was too long to include it as the Hero of the Day, but NYC Mayor Mamdani signed an executive order yesterday repealing bedtime so that children can stay up and watch the Knicks play in the NBA finals.
It's so refreshing: a politician who can get shit done and is capable of having a gentle sense of humor, especially when the sense of humor involves acknowledging children as actual people.
Cynical much?? I appreciate that he retains his cheerfulness and humanity—while sticking to his guns on important issues. Acc to my son in law who knows him from HS and the soccer fields of of the Manhattan SC, he’s always been smart and motivated, and a really nice guy. Sorry it annoys you that he’s a fan of the Knicks. Go Mamdani. Go NY. Go Knicks. Go away Dolan.
Bostonian here,. and I don't give a fuck about sports. Sorry never interested me. I am more interested in people being able to read and comprehend so we don't end up with another Trump Mess.
Dry your tears. Why is not caring about sports forbidden to be mentioned? Are sports fans such delicate snowflakes? Many of them are like MAGAts. They go on and on about their favorites, but get all bent out of shape if someone says they don't care.
Oh my. You need more coffee or some lunch... Mamdani is doing a fabulous job in NYC. He's a positive force. His symbolic gesture for those kids was well received. And you dont have to be a sports fan to understand that.
Now that Congress sees him as the the super LAME duck he is, I’m crossing all fingers and toes that Congress all come together and say FUCK NO and do not confirm him.
Here’s to hoping our winning streak continues to take every single one of these stupid Assholes.
Rethuglican spines only seem to spontaneously generate when they themselves are a) not running for re-election (Tillis), or b) primaried by the object of their taint licking, and not assuredly even then. Right, Cornyn and Cassidy? Massie, any names from the files you care to share?
AND... Pulte is keeping his day job! These guys think these jobs are easy. They take the lead from Chump who thinks he can do everything all at the same time.
I'm not sure how this works. Steve Witkoff is another real estate guy, and we have seen repeatedly how effective he and Jared have been in resolving conflicts in Ukraine, the Middle East and of course Iran.
Even those nations probably find it disgusting how those two greedy asswipes are trying to leverage America's support for their own back channel real estate deals.
I was going to mention this appointment… just like the rest of his choices Pulte is totally unqualified. And the most egregious? Pulte gets to keep his other position… he’s a 2fer.. 🤮🤮🤮
Because he absolutely doesnt give a shit of they do the job or not. He just to reward people who are loyal to him. So they get a salary and license to steal.
Easy to know Pulte is a jerk. He’s manufactured fake mortgage fraud claims against innumerable Trump enemies—while it turns out his own father really did do the fraud he fraudulently accused Trump’s enemies of. And there’s so much more on this scumbag.
and, at the same time, Pulte gets to KEEP his 2 current jobs . . . ala Jared Kushner and Marco Rubio. Cuz if you don't want to give the job to someone who's capable, just toss it over to one of your current toadies and let them fuck it up for you.
Well the first requirement for any tRump appointment is absolute fealty. But, the second is just as important - they must be absolutely inexperienced at whatever they are supposed to do and demonstrate within 1 month that they are a complete fuckup.
Oh darn, I seem to have misplaced my WP Subscription after the Board Independence was cut off at the knees but I don't really need to read up on Pulte - he's the one that has bringing up all the "criminal evidence" against people who have prosecuted Trump.
As far as people that suck the worst in the current administration, and I realize there's a lot of competition for that position, he's right up there.
I think we are past all the primaries though, and Republican Senators are looking towards the general elections coming up. I'd say there is going to be a lot of resistance to the nomination.
Regardless of whether the $1.8B slush fund for criminals is dead, dems should keep hammering trump for even having that idea. Along with the $1M taxpayer handout to convicted felon and Russian agent Mike Flynn.
I was going to count how many times “fucking loser” was in this post…BUT who the hell cares!?! He is exactly that! Keep losing fucking loser…..you’re going down in history as the worst ever!
Thanks Jeff and to your friends Scott and Kathy for the cool photos!
For one day, I'm not going to let Preznit Fuckwit spoil my day. Today is my birthday and I'm just going to enjoy the day and the only thing I'm going to worry about is how fucking old I am.
Happy Birthday! And, rule #1--no one is old on his/her birthday (except for 5-year-olds, who always want to hear that they're such big boys and girls now). Rule #2--nothing has calories today.
Jim, as you say “when shit gets old” it’s because you’re moving from one post to another. When shit dries up and becomes a fecalith (feces turned to stone) it becomes a problematic thinking “I’m not going to leave, even if I smell like shit”.
Donald Trump checks all the boxes as a human fecalith.
Trump’s 2 a.m. self‑pity torrents are live‑blogged emotional collapse, and it’s not hard to imagine the White House as one vast, over‑lit mausoleum of drunken shit where even the Secret Service wishes they could call in sick.
"Susie says" versus "Stephen Says" and the endless train of oversized-Florsheim clopping in to bring various golden trinkets trying to cheer up the boss. Good luck. Hey Trumpy, how is it to be surrounded by an entire planet who wishes you would JUST FUCKING DIE? It's not a delusion to think everybody hates you when EVERYBODY FUCKING HATES YOU.
“Trump Smell” is going to linger in that building longer than a dead raccoon in the chimney. And like every other fucking thing in this asshole's life, somebody else will wind up footing the bill: Mr and Mrs America and all the ships at sea.
Ha! Vanilla Ice has backed out too, and Trump is hell-bent on firing somebody for allowing him to approve the list of performers. Also - and this is something that's not getting headlines - because all these ships have been sitting in warm, shallow, highly saline water for three months, they are now thickly encrusted with barnacles. Barnacles cause extra drag on a ship's hull when it moves, meaning that the ship has to use extra fuel to overcome that friction, and the barnacles get up inside the cooling vents and take up residence, so that ships also overheat when they start moving again. Small amounts of barnacles can be removed by divers, but to really do the job a ship needs to go ibto dry dock, which is not going to happen while these ships are sitting in the sea. So IF the Strait of Hormuz ever opens again, the ships trying to go somewhere after passing through will be using up much more fuel than planned.
Are there ships lined up? I remember when the port of Los Angeles opened after Covid. I'm 60 miles south of the LA Port and could see a line of cargo ships on the horizon trying to get in to dock. I never heard about barnacles.
I don't know about LA. Maybe the water there was cooler or deeper, or something else. But yes, there are about 1500 ships stuck in the water, waiting to get through. Is that what you were asking when you said "lined up"?
Well yes, sort of. They weren't stuck here per se. They were just waiting in line to dock. There were lots and lots of them. So I don't know what they do in open water
So much losing...You have to wonder if his supporters are still just delusional and dumb as shit, or if they're in too deep and are riding this sinking ship to the bitter end. Or both.

He is definitely a keeper! And so are you Jeff! Please keep our daily Claudia going as long as you can. it is an inspiration to us all!
I prefer Mamdani's executive orders.
It's so refreshing: a politician who can get shit done and is capable of having a gentle sense of humor, especially when the sense of humor involves acknowledging children as actual people.
Cute, but once again pretending that grown-ups getting paid to play a game is of primary importance.
Cynical much?? I appreciate that he retains his cheerfulness and humanity—while sticking to his guns on important issues. Acc to my son in law who knows him from HS and the soccer fields of of the Manhattan SC, he’s always been smart and motivated, and a really nice guy. Sorry it annoys you that he’s a fan of the Knicks. Go Mamdani. Go NY. Go Knicks. Go away Dolan.
100% - it gets so tiresome when cynics pipe in...
Yes, you certainly are. How dare someone not care about sports.
Is it ok if i enjoy art and music, too? And fiction, God forbid? Poetry?
Permission to play sports?
Nuffa you! LOL
People into sports have no idea how much the rest of us are inundated with their obsessions.
<yawn!> Another person who thinks sports are of primary importance.
Live in the Boston area and couldn't care less about ANY of the local teams.
Bostonian here… how dare you!! You must be kicked out of Boston immediately!! lol. Jk
Bostonian here,. and I don't give a fuck about sports. Sorry never interested me. I am more interested in people being able to read and comprehend so we don't end up with another Trump Mess.
Not really — I don’t care about sports either but don’t need to be a debbie downer for those who do.
Dry your tears. Why is not caring about sports forbidden to be mentioned? Are sports fans such delicate snowflakes? Many of them are like MAGAts. They go on and on about their favorites, but get all bent out of shape if someone says they don't care.
Sir, who broke you? Your record is stuck.
Oh my. You need more coffee or some lunch... Mamdani is doing a fabulous job in NYC. He's a positive force. His symbolic gesture for those kids was well received. And you dont have to be a sports fan to understand that.
Oh my, I did say it was "cute."
I also note he couldn't be bothered to support the Jewish community with their Israeli Independence Day celebration.
And there it is.
And there you are. The haters always reveal themselves.
Yup. 🙄
Most of those grown-ups playing that game don’t know who their kids are
What makes you say that?
ewe really?
?
NYT probably - “Mamdani emboldens innocent children to make poor choices”
We already basically got that comment on here......
😏
Yep cheering for & showing spirit for the local team is… controversial? Geez
today in Shit That Happened While I Was Busy Writing This Shit—
"Donny picks mortgage chief Bill Pulte to lead on national intelligence"
wait Donny picked a *banker* to replace Tulsi Gabbard? that makes as much sense as picking a Fox News dunk-tank clown to be your secretary of death.
I know nothing about Bill Pulte, but I'm sure that if Donny wants him, he totally fucking sucks.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2026/06/02/trump-picks-mortgage-chief-bill-pulte-lead-national-intelligence/
Now that Congress sees him as the the super LAME duck he is, I’m crossing all fingers and toes that Congress all come together and say FUCK NO and do not confirm him.

I dont care about their motivations. We should just take the win.
Please. This is the GOP we are talking about.
He's the toady launching bogus investigations of Trump's enemies for "mortgage fraud."
https://www.cnn.com/2026/06/02/politics/bill-pulte-intelligence-director-trump
And we're handing him the entire CIA apparatus? Awesome.
I had a feeling it was something to do with his bogus vendetta charges. LOSERS one and all.
Someone has to do it and he’s running out of asshat loyalists 🙄
The ranks are much deeper than I thought, though. Fuck
AND... Pulte is keeping his day job! These guys think these jobs are easy. They take the lead from Chump who thinks he can do everything all at the same time.
Because basically they belong to the Grover Norquist, "government should be drowned in the bathtub" crowd.
If your standards are low enough you can get a lot not done.
Word on Pulte is that the sins are very deep. His grandfather reportedly helped fatfuck secure a loan, working with Jeffrey Epstein. But that’s just the surface. https://www.wonkette.com/p/i-love-the-smell-of-fresh-epstein

trump appointee and unqualified go together like grifter and conman
Because he absolutely doesnt give a shit of they do the job or not. He just to reward people who are loyal to him. So they get a salary and license to steal.

Makes sense if you want to destroy the security apparatus and get another 9/11 and thus Enabling Acts.
Here's the story of a needy lady
Who was porning with three very lonely girls
They all lived in a hostel, without mothers
They shaved off all their curls
Here's the story of a man who's greedy
Who was dealing with three kids of his own
There was one who he found attractive
She wouldn't suck his bone
And then one day needy lady met orange lardass
On an island, had a drug-infested fuck
And she knew, that she would outlive fuckwit
That's the way they all became the fucking trumps
The fucking trumps
It's just a hunch
That's the way
They became
The fucking trumps
(Featuring Susie Wiles as Alice)
Good one!
I always find it funny
How their "marriage" ain't so sunny
It's one for the books
He married for looks
And she only married for money
Oh darn, I seem to have misplaced my WP Subscription after the Board Independence was cut off at the knees but I don't really need to read up on Pulte - he's the one that has bringing up all the "criminal evidence" against people who have prosecuted Trump.

Try these guys for some background: https://democracyforward.org/work/investigations/weaponization-of-federal-housing-finance-agency-investigations/
Let us keep in mind the famous corrupt scam scheme called council for peace in Gaza. No big funding up to now. Where are the billions?!?! Fuck it too
He's not a banker, he's a private equity guy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Pulte
Regardless of whether the $1.8B slush fund for criminals is dead, dems should keep hammering trump for even having that idea. Along with the $1M taxpayer handout to convicted felon and Russian agent Mike Flynn.
100% agree
“Sit back and relax”says the adjuticated sexual predator 77MM Americans considered to be a fine choice to get a second crack at the Presidency

Jim, as you say “when shit gets old” it’s because you’re moving from one post to another. When shit dries up and becomes a fecalith (feces turned to stone) it becomes a problematic thinking “I’m not going to leave, even if I smell like shit”.
Donald Trump checks all the boxes as a human fecalith.
You can culture a fecalith. Preznit Predator has no culture.
And you can’t buy class.
You can buy someone to go to class for you
😂
Yes!
Fecalith!! Omg! I had no idea of this word and it is so very appropriate 😂 He is indeed a human fecalith.
Trump has a history of getting bored and washing his hands of responsibility. Remember this?
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/13/trump-coronavirus-testing-128971
Yep.
It occurred to me last night as I was self medicating that two of Trump’s building aspirations are “Archie” and “Bunker”.
Archie grieved when Edith died. Orange Hitler just buries ex-wives in his par-3 golf courses.
Despite being an ignorant bigot, Archie Bunker had at least an iota of likeability.
😂🤣😂
Bravissima!
You win the thread 😂😂😂
Oh, I especially love that last picture!
Love the family photos.
Trump’s 2 a.m. self‑pity torrents are live‑blogged emotional collapse, and it’s not hard to imagine the White House as one vast, over‑lit mausoleum of drunken shit where even the Secret Service wishes they could call in sick.

The lifelong loser con
Starts a war that goes on and on
And the Iranians won't relent
As he pleads for their assent
So he rage tweets before the dawn

S'matter, Vanilla, dontcha love 'Murikkka anymorer?
Check out that hat he's wearing: Cupid with an AR-15 instead of a bow.
Charming.
OMG 🤮

That rapist con
Thinks his war with Iran
Will stop his looming trials
But in glorious times
He'll face his crimes

Can’t wait!
So much losing...You have to wonder if his supporters are still just delusional and dumb as shit, or if they're in too deep and are riding this sinking ship to the bitter end. Or both.
Hold your nose and drop in on X. They can't all be paid by Putin.
I feel so much safer with a banker in charge of our security agencies!
