today in Shit That Happened While I Was Busy Writing This Shit—

"High gas prices, cost of living send US consumer sentiment to all-time low"

Here comes the recession… and I am sure Dumbo Donnie’s illegal slush fund for criminals will be sure raise morale over consumer sentiment and be sure to boost his polling!

Ofc I’m kidding. Bet his polling hits 20% now. Can’t wait to see it.

Fake news, I’m sure 🙄🙄🙄🙄

the first pedant who points out that you can't have a civil war *against* something gets scowled at. Ms Spouse would have def made me rewrite that headline

Gotta wonder what McConnell has against "utterly stupid, morally wrong".

Kay-El's avatar

He’s describing himself, isn’t he.

Susan Niemann's avatar

Seriously. He’ll be dead any day now.

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

The pathetic thing is he could have prevented all this. He will be remembered for the terrible damage he did to all three branches of government.

Senate Republicans have enough courage to yell at Trump's flunky and then go home. Fuck all the way off, you spineless dipshits.

Trump's primary elelction interference is going to backfire and they know it. Worst-case scenario is that Paxton gets his ass beat by Talarico, or maybe the worst is that Paxton wins and they have to spend time with Ken Paxton. Next worse case is that Massie decides to go scorched earth for the remainder of his term. Lest we forget, he too is a dipshit, but the enemy of the dipshit is also... sorry that analogy completely falls apart.

Jeff Tiedrich's avatar

Massie should run as an independent. he won't win, but he'll seriously fuck with the Republicans' chance of winning

Ann Anderson's avatar

He should read the Epstein list into the Congressional Record.

Uncle Jeff--I'm hearing chatter about these folks starting a new party. There could be mass defections from the Trump party.

Whattaya think?

Susan Niemann's avatar

Oh hell yes. Let them rip each others heads off. Is it not obvious that the felon is on his last breath? (Hopefully) and to hitch a wagon to the most unpopular asshole in history is as stupid as it can be.

Colbert-JFC. I cried real tears. 😭

Love the gardening photo. Love them all. 🥰. Thank you Jeff.

Unity In Defiance's avatar

I cried real tears for the last show with Colbert as well.

He will continue to bring us joy in other ways though — one door closes and another opens.

So the Continuous Bullshit Source is replacing the wildly popular Late Show with Stephen Colbert because of claimed financial losses with. . .Comics Unleashed with Bryon Allen, whose company will cover their own production and advertising costs and will eschew political commentary. And Allen happens to be Black. First of all, Byron, I deride this as a sell out move. Secondly, I suspect few Colbert viewers will watch you, nothing personal. Thirdly, to go into a business deal with David Ellison the drumpf stooge is bush league. So fuck off.

Miselle's avatar

I predict the show will be gone in six months.

Huge applause to Colbert! He could have exited scorched earth, but his final show was full of grace and dignity.

BRAVO, STEPHEN!

SethTriggs's avatar

Colbert needs to do what Joy Reid and Don Lemon have done, go independent and become ungovernable.

Sheila Riley-Callahan's avatar

Trump posted something at 1253a about the low rating loser and thanks CBS for getting rid of him blah blah blah. He is truly a wackjob. His name wasn’t mentioned once last night. That’s probably what pissed him off. *scream*

Kathleen M Kendrick's avatar

I love the one on the patio. I think she’s someone we would all have loved!

HI2thDoc's avatar

Stephen Colbert

We love his flair

His sharp witty way

He devises to say

CBS, shove it somewhere

Miselle's avatar

In my wildest dreams, Colbert does a YouTube show, and in it, he has a daily recitation of one of your limericks, Doc!!

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

We are all focused on the wrong thing. The depth of corruption within the GOP is evident by the fact that they are only focused on who gets the money. McConnell et al are completely glossing over the fact that TRUMP IS GIVING HIMSELF TAXPAYER MONEY. It doesn't matter how he spends it - - he doesn't have the right to give himself OUR MONEY. By allowing a sitting President to sue the government in his capacity as a private citizen and then, as President, direct the AG to settle the case, we've opened the door for any and every President to do this. If this is a legal way to disburse taxpayer funds, every single President can do this.

Unity In Defiance's avatar

The precedent for this is ridiculous if you pull back and think what it means.

A president being able to pay himself for his aims/goals goes both ways.

A democratic president could decide they want single payer healthcare and then do the very same thing — Making Congress officially ornamental.

These GOP morons think they’ll be in power forever and not just the next few months.

So, I thought it was ANTIFA that did J6?

So Trump wants to fund ANTIFA now?

Ofc I realize it was not, nor was it staged — bc like the ENTIRE FUCKING COUNTRY I watched it unfold live.

Good news on the senate GOP revolt over this illegal slush fund.

93 House Democrats have filed an amicus brief challenging the settlement as unconstitutional.

Here’s the link;

I challenge Norman to say what he said to the Capitol Police officers who were there on J6.

Miselle's avatar

Brilliant! BRILLIANT POST!!

Bonnie Boyce's avatar

I'll make the popcorn!

Jeff Tiedrich's avatar

I can't believe I didn't think to use a 'stephen colbert popcorn' gif in my post. I'm going to right this wrong right now. thank you for your comment!

Jeff Tiedrich's avatar

manifested! thanks again

HI2thDoc's avatar

When I saw that yoooge outie behind drumpf, I thought, how cold are they keeping the Oval Bordello?!

Kay-El's avatar

At first I thought it was a pregnant woman and I was aghast that she’d have her unborn baby so close to Shitler.

Michael Johnson's avatar

Someone remarked yesterday how Vonnegut & Hunter S Thompson are sorely missed. I replied, "But we have Jeff Tiedrich!"

Per usual, spit my coffee funny from the start today.

Lovely pics of your Claudia. I trust you are now tending that garden - so very relaxing - something I recently picked up. Helps in the processing of this insanity, almost as much as your daily posts.

Carl Babcock's avatar

In addition to Vonnegut and Thompson, I would like to add Carlin and Hicks to the list of those voices missed. I am so grateful for Jeff, HCR, JoJo, amd a handful of others, that continue to be the voices of sanity in this virtual hell hole the internet has devolved into

The lap pool in my backyard is 2975 yards long. But it's only 18 inches wide, so I can't use it. I'm suing the guy who installed it the same company that's working on the reflecting pool. I expect the Supreme Court will get involved in this one.

HI2thDoc's avatar

You're using it wrong. Think of it as an 18 inch long broad jump obstacle that is 2975 yards wide. You can invite 3000 friends to a jumping party

Tess's avatar

Knowing Don Jr….(not that I do) he might take you up on that offer of asking his dad what the fuck is wrong with you just to get a trophy senior doesn’t have! Blanche, Ralph and anyone else who is supporting the sniveling prez needs to get the hell out of Washington. RISE UP EVERYONE! Man, so sick of this shit. Claudia pics-thank you for relaxing me with her beautiful smile. Hope everyone has a very nice weekend!

Revenge will be soooo fucking sweet!😈

Gayna's avatar

Trump ‘s not going to that wedding because he knows there’ll be another one in a year or so after the wife divorces his dumb ass.

Unity In Defiance's avatar

Weddings are only worth going to for the third wives!

HI2thDoc's avatar

He'll be golfing at our expense. He has surpassed $100 million spent at his own courses in this term alone. Talk about waste, fraud, abuse.

Koko in AZ's avatar

OMG! I thought that belly with the extended "outie" was a pregnant woman. My first thought was, "Why is she at the oval office? She looks past due!"
