fyi, everyone, I just added a very important paragraph to today's post.
"oh, and fuck Senator Glitchy McTurtlehump and all his ‘I do declare it’s morally wrong’ outrage. dude could have put an end to this shit five years ago, by whipping up enough votes to convict Donny when he got impeached for doing January 6 in the first place. but Glitch wimped out, and here we are, trapped in the timeline he created. get back in your terrarium, Turtle Man."
I'm thinking you must have a view out onto your lawn from where you sit and write your posts, and if it's looking a bit shaggy might hurry to finish so you can get to mowing. With increased circulation to the brain the seeds of ideas come to fruition and you must hurry and finish mowing before they die on the vine!
Being a resident of Louisville, Kentucky and living but a 5-minute walk from McTurtlehump's little townhouse there where we PROTEST his aging ass often, especially if we see his government guard car on the corner..... I do declare that your update is entirely accurate and commendable!
I just hope he is well aware that what he leaves behind is nothing to be proud of - just a big, dirty smear on Senate history, "See this big dirty smear (No, that ISN"T chocolate), thats the legacy of a very disgusting ol' fool."
Jeff, we can't forget how fucking Glitchy McTurtlehump cheated President Obama out of a Supreme Court appointment because 10 months was to close to a presidential election. However, it was okay to confirm a nominee a month before the election in 2020. Fuck fucking Glitchy McTurtlehump😡😡😡😡😡😡
Indeed. He really should follow Uncle Jeff’s sage advice to fuck all the way off until he comes to that fence that says “no fucking off beyond this point.” Then, dream the impossible dream, climb the fence and fuck off some more.
The problem is Mitch can never take moral or patriotic stand on anything. Its party before country, and even if Reagan was resurrected he would still back Trump.
Right!!!! Want him to stick his head back in his shell and just go back into his self made swamp to die. Remember when his brain just blanked the fuck out?
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.
One thing not in recession is that MAGAt’s outie. And judging by your GIF, whatever donnie was saying seemed to induce a gastrointestinal orgasm, which I didn’t know could happen
Apparently Trump has a deal with Iran. They get to keep charging 1 or 2 million for ships to pass through and they have apparently made enough recently to buy 660 new drones according to calculations made my Wajeeh Lion today. In any case, true or not. Trump is not in charge of this deal, and if the Corporate media says so, they would be lying.
Each day I am not surprised, but I am shocked by the corruption of Trump. Part of the shock is the American acceptance of his bad behavior. There seems to be a stupor with people not knowing what to do, at least not legally.
On top of all this, and leaving the Iran war in a state of permanent mess, Trump is again going aggressively after Greenland and Cuba, and Canada but trying to slip it under the media's radar. Trump may be more corrupt than Richard Nixon who carried an illicit war on Cambodia and had the Watergate Files. More corrupt than George Bush whose halfwit brother Jeb and the corrupt SCOTUS stole the election for him. At this point he seems to be the most corrupt president that we have had, if not in the top contenders. We have given presidents a lot of leeway in the past, and it has been a mistake. Trump is banking on that and running away with it, particularly as the election comes closer and he gets more desperate. We need to stop him.
Linda, I want to assure you that Americans are not in a stupor about this outrageous corruption. Daniel Hodges and Harry Dunn have filed a lawsuit against the slush fund. Jamie Raskin gave an excellent presentation about this lawlessness and named names, eg Todd Blanche. And I personally have sunk into a very dark depression. My depressions are cyclical, meaning I know it will resolve itself. But in the meantime, I am very hurt when I see people saying we’re not doing anything or don’t care. That’s far from reality.
IMHO, tricky dick's corruption pales in comparison to agent orange's. Everyday I shutter to read the news. Every exploit sends me into a deeper depression. The amoebas in Congress need to evolve to a species with a spine😡😡😡😡😡😡
Every day Trump "apparently" has a "deal." The next day he's threatening to blow Iran off the face of the earth. Literally nothing he says about Iran can be believed.
Everything w/ #Bumblefuck is a "DEAL"....that HE PERSONALLY has to PROFIT FROM, or he has a full-on, Dollar General Toy Aisle TODDLER TANTRUM.
And since PUBLICLY DISSING #DerFuhrer will buy you a PLAYGROUND BULLY'S NICKNAME, & THROW YOU OUT OF HIS VERSION OF THE "HE-MAN GIRL VICTIMIZER'S CLUB", they all CLOSE THEIR EYES & SAY, "LA LA LA - NOTHING TO SEE HERE!"
We're being "governed" by SECOND GRADE WUSSES....who're stealing OUR lunch money to give to THIS guy, to keep THEIR social status. They don't CARE that they're RAPING THE CONSTITUTION, just to BENEFIT THEMSELVES, TOO!
A petition? Project 2025 gives them permission to enslave us & rob us blind and the Dems fight back with a petition? What is wrong with you people? How about a tax revolt!
Thanks, Jeff, for pointing out the belly-button guy. I couldn’t take my off him when Lawrence O’Donnell was playing that clip. I kept thinking, “Any moment that baby’s gonna get born and all hell will break loose.”
I only saw the clip without his head visible, so I kept trying to determine if that was a man or a very pregnant woman, and when his belly bounced I thought “that baby just kicked” so it must be a woman, but the arms and the rest of him looked like a man. I glad Jeff talked more about it. That’s really weird 🤔
Was dopey pumpkinhead in that pic all I saw was a giant outie, kind of rare in the first place but this one really stands out (see what I did there) and I think the héroe of the day is … not a person but an OUTIE! Cute little button wiggling like a puppy.
Included in that is the breathtaking increase in my supplemental insurance premium! Insurance rates need a close examination. Wishful thinking in this regime, though.
I just paid 93 bucks to fill my van this week. I only paid 4.999 dollars a gallon, thanks to my Safeway rewards I had 30 cents off a gallon. #ImpeachTrump
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
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 election 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.
Yes, it was one article I read where he he said he may consider switching parties at midterm though he has more in common with Democrats, but they are too critical of Trump. Gag me!
Moscow Mitch is the poster boy for "morally wrong," but he's even more loathsome because he's not stupid: every corrupt, evil act he committed was done with deliberate calculation.
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.
So the Continuous Bullshit Source is replacing the wildly popular Late Show with Stephen Colbert because of claimed financial losses with. . .Comics Unleashed with Byron 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.
Colbert went out with the right mixture of grace and irony, doing it “My Way.” I certainly won’t be watching CBS every late night anymore but there are other shows I’m having moral agonizing about. 60 Minutes certainly is losing some of its best journalists for substantive/ethical reasons it seems. And I guess I can give up CBS Sunday morning, which I started because my friend was their main cameraman after having been Charles Karault’s On the Road cameraman, but he’s gone. That leaves only my daily fix of Jeopardy, which is on CBS in my area, though when I visit friends in New Jersey, it’s on ABC; go figure.
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*
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert averaged roughly 2.7 million viewers per episode, making it the most-watched show in late-night television for nine consecutive seasons.
I guess Trump just makes shit up, and doesn’t even care of his insults are true. Like a 8 year old.
Yes, I agree Trump is becoming cognitively impaired, but he'll never admit it. And he has devious and effective people pulling his strings. Miller for one. They will stuff him and prop him up if they have to.
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.
Precisely. And no amount of gerrymandering is going to keep the GOP in power because when Trump dies, the infighting will split the party into tiny bits.
Agree 100%. It takes two to tango - - and to settle a dispute. In this case, Trump was in a dispute with himself. Not only that, he was in a dispute with himself because of his own incompetence. The theft of IRS records occurred when Trump was President. It was his own administration that failed to protect tax records. You couldn't make this level of corruption up if you tried.
EXACTLY! No judge signed off, and no “adversary” to be seen anywhere. Just two morons in govt deciding to slide our tax money away from us and into the hands of loyal criminals.
And obviously trump did not suffer ANY harm to his reputation as a result of the leak...and besides, he kept promising he would release his tax returns "when the audit is done"; every other president in modern history has willingly shared their tax returns but he acted like he had something to hide.
Exactly, worried about who gets the money and worried about their margins of support? Who the fuck cares? Right when you think, oh good they're finally pushing back, and it turns out to be more selfish, unethical bullshit.
Of course its illegal but who is going to stop. Several Democrats have bills demanding an investigation into Trump. But the Republucan controlled congress will never allow them on the floor for debate much less a vote.
The Democrats have bills demanding an investigation into Trump corruption, but the Republican Congress will never allow them on the floor to debate much less put to a vote. What more can they do? Elections have consequences.
I understand though. I am a writer--but as I have yet to get my manuscripts published, I suffer from "Imposter Syndrome" and have been chastised by a few kind successful authors who give me advice.
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.
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
When I was a teenager, driving off a Detroit thruway exit, I saw a man standing on the side of the exit ramp, clutching a typewriter, with a large pile of papers flying about. I stopped and picked up as many papers as possible, loading him and his belongings into the car. It was Hunter S. Thompson! Quite the character!
Our small town paper had Hunter AP column syndicated and National. He was one of the most gifted writers on the circuit and never missed it. Yes we are talking Jeff on that level.
So trump says the Reflecting Pool "hasn't worked properly since it was built in 1922."
What does that even mean, it hasn't "worked properly"? It has always done what it was meant to do—reflect. What does he think it SHOULD have been doing all that time?
But I’ll bet it was paid for because the money is gone if he can get his hands on it you know it will be in his pants somewhere. Those diapers are all full of something.
Maybe we should be thankful he only wants to paint the bottom flag blue. I wouldn't put it past him to have mused about his face painted on the bottom. That's what he meant that it hasn't worked properly.
He wants people to throw coins into the reflecting pool and all of the other fountains that he started talking about…preferably gold coins with his face on them. Eric will have to go out at night and collect all of the money for daddy.
I love my hilarious, uncensored and profane news from Jeff every morning. It’s honestly the only way I can tolerate the nonstop insanity. Love your candid shots of Claudia throughout the years.
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.
The aphorism in difficult situations used to be "making lemonade out of lemons." In the drumpf era, "making fertilizer out of bullshit" seems more apropos
But before industrially synthesized fertilizers were available, bullshit was the predominant form of fertilizer. Chinese farm families used to do all their pooping in the field—it was called night soil.
Shoddy Toddy looks like an opossum (apologies to possums). And, when he's confronted, he has the same look that a cornered possum has: the possum bares its teeth and hisses fiercely, but, all the while, it has this desperate look in its eyes, hoping you'll just go away and leave it alone before it has to resort to its ultimate act--flopping over and playing dead. I wonder if Shoddy Toddy got to the flop part during his meeting with the displeased Rethuglicans.
The grossness of that image proves there's no one managing the media optics for Shitler these days. Why bother when he can look in a mirror and see himself aging in reverse?
There's obviously no one who loves outie man enough to tell him "Honey, you can't wear that shirt to the White House." Horizontal stripes are not the portly man's friend.
fyi, everyone, I just added a very important paragraph to today's post.
"oh, and fuck Senator Glitchy McTurtlehump and all his ‘I do declare it’s morally wrong’ outrage. dude could have put an end to this shit five years ago, by whipping up enough votes to convict Donny when he got impeached for doing January 6 in the first place. but Glitch wimped out, and here we are, trapped in the timeline he created. get back in your terrarium, Turtle Man."
that makes two consecutive lawn mowings in which I rewrote the post in my head while pushing the lawnmower. hmm
Clearly, mowing the lawn is a very productive means of deep meditation
clearly
And it smells good, too.
Sadly, not in the desert. Water is too precious to grow grass. Although you wouldn't know it by checking out the golf courses around here.
or what michelle said... ;-)
You're too powerful to waste mowing the lawn. Hire Stephen King's Lawnmower Man.
I'm thinking you must have a view out onto your lawn from where you sit and write your posts, and if it's looking a bit shaggy might hurry to finish so you can get to mowing. With increased circulation to the brain the seeds of ideas come to fruition and you must hurry and finish mowing before they die on the vine!

Thank you for this very important service you have been performing. Hurl an insult at the old asshole from me next time?! Thanks. ✊🇺🇸
Me , too!🤬
And a couple of "FUCK YOU, YERTL!"s from ME!!
I just hope he is well aware that what he leaves behind is nothing to be proud of - just a big, dirty smear on Senate history, "See this big dirty smear (No, that ISN"T chocolate), thats the legacy of a very disgusting ol' fool."
Good job, Margaret!
Jeff, we can't forget how fucking Glitchy McTurtlehump cheated President Obama out of a Supreme Court appointment because 10 months was to close to a presidential election. However, it was okay to confirm a nominee a month before the election in 2020. Fuck fucking Glitchy McTurtlehump😡😡😡😡😡😡

🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hilarious, Susie!
I love this!!
That anger still burns hot.
Agreed! Fuck that mutherfucking fucker Glitchy McTurtlehump!
I can just picture him lurking in the moss in his terrarium.
🤣🤣
The problem is Mitch can never take moral or patriotic stand on anything. Its party before country, and even if Reagan was resurrected he would still back Trump.
🤣🤣🤣
But, no, Urtle the Turtle couldn't do that.
That boy ain't right. Covers so, so many.
I've been calling him Turtleboy for years. But that's only because he's from the South and I have absolutely no respect for him.
Yeah, he is as guilty as any single individual for the situation we are in right now. His late-stage denials mean nothing.
Right!!!! Want him to stick his head back in his shell and just go back into his self made swamp to die. Remember when his brain just blanked the fuck out?

It was the baby sensing the presence evil nearby and demanding to be let out.
Ha! It does look like the guy is 8 months gone!
At first glance, I thought it was a pregnant woman standing behind the not-so-dear leader. Could it have been a fetus kicking?
Yes thats what it liked to me. Isn't Blondie pregnant?
Nauseating. I can’t read this blog while having lunch anymore.

A real recession, not a MSM and Republican flogged "vibe-cession".
Started from ‘scratch’ however - jfc
Anyone recall that 100% of this was SELF-INFLICTED ??? anyone?
Since those high prices are basically Trump weaponizing the government against all Americans, shouldn't we all get a piece of the slush fund?
Thanks, Jeff, for pointing out the belly-button guy. I couldn’t take my off him when Lawrence O’Donnell was playing that clip. I kept thinking, “Any moment that baby’s gonna get born and all hell will break loose.”

Relax. It’s just another pregnant closet tranny.
I was thinking this must be Byron Noem in the midst of a wardrobe malfunction. His balloon boobs were heading south.
Same here. I was waiting for his water to break.
Did you get a load of the picture circulating with Junior and his bride to be on his arm? Serious man boobs going on!
Could it be the steroids or the coke? Only his hairdresser knows for sure.
Who IS that guy? Is it Steven Cheong?
No, I’m not fat-shaming, I’m fascist-shaming.

thanks, my brain enjoyed the humorously missing body part in that sentence :)
Alien, maybe?
Bigly inflation, consumer sentiment like no one has ever seen, and big strong men with tears in their eyes going on a long holiday recess.
Included in that is the breathtaking increase in my supplemental insurance premium! Insurance rates need a close examination. Wishful thinking in this regime, though.
My tall pool is so tall, you can't see it.
Fake news, I’m sure 🙄🙄🙄🙄
Not sure they’re worrying abt voter’s opinions any more - but hope so :/
I just paid 93 bucks to fill my van this week. I only paid 4.999 dollars a gallon, thanks to my Safeway rewards I had 30 cents off a gallon. #ImpeachTrump
Here in North Texas, gas prices are $4.16 per gallon. It was $2.16 in February. February, folks.
Gas prices here in CA are between $6.1 and $6.89...
I can’t “like” your post Diana - cause it’s ridiculous what Drumpf has done to gas prices.
We feel for ya! Illinois it’s $4.99
It's $4.49 where I live in upstate NY.
I have a small car. Don't drive much. Three quarters of a tank cost me $12 more than last time.

Massie should run as an independent. he won't win, but he'll seriously fuck with the Republicans' chance of winning
He should read the Epstein list into the Congressional Record.
Or do a forensic audit of his primary race - just for sh*ts & giggles
Uncle Jeff--I'm hearing chatter about these folks starting a new party. There could be mass defections from the Trump party.
Whattaya think?
The. Deplorables?
That might work in local elections. They could just cross the aisle and become Democrats. I hear Fetterman was considering a party change.
Considering?
Yes, it was one article I read where he he said he may consider switching parties at midterm though he has more in common with Democrats, but they are too critical of Trump. Gag me!
I wrote sooo many postcards--on my own dime!!--for Fetterman! I so regret it now!
Oh FFS‼️
He is the poster child for DINO.
Bravo! The wolves devour each other!
You stole my idea!
Gotta wonder what McConnell has against "utterly stupid, morally wrong".
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.
The gravedigger of democracy. Fuck Mitch McConnell.
He’s describing himself, isn’t he.
Moscow Mitch is the poster boy for "morally wrong," but he's even more loathsome because he's not stupid: every corrupt, evil act he committed was done with deliberate calculation.
Even said in an interview that blocking Obama was his proudest thing in his career.🤬
Seriously. He’ll be dead any day now.
“Only the good die young.”
Right Mitch will go to 200 there will be a decade in there that he never even moves.
I think he's already reached that decade......
Promise?
We keep saying that about Trump too.
He needs to get in a wheelchair and drive down a very long flight of steps
Or a very tall cliff....
I’ll help. 🙄
Me too!😂😂
He played his cards to his handlers’ satisfaction
McConnell will be sharing a hot tub in hell with the Orange Shitgibbon!
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.
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.
Colbert needs to do what Joy Reid and Don Lemon have done, go independent and become ungovernable.
I think this will be the way Seth. Don Lemon spoke about it in length today — saying essentially the same thing.
Basically Stephen did AMAZING on The Late Show — but he was shackled in a corporate media box.
Now he has shed those shackles and is without limits. He is hyper talented and will succeed wherever he goes.
I’m excited for his next venture.
Agreed
I would think that is definitely in the works.
So the Continuous Bullshit Source is replacing the wildly popular Late Show with Stephen Colbert because of claimed financial losses with. . .Comics Unleashed with Byron 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.
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!
It may be sooner than 6 months. We shall see.
I agree with you. I give it half that time. One full quarter of complete ranked ratings and lost advertising $$
And if it’s one thing these stupid fuckers care about at all, it’s the money.
Colbert was the only reason I ever watched anything on CBS, so his departure is it for them, they can fuck off for eternity.
Colbert went out with the right mixture of grace and irony, doing it “My Way.” I certainly won’t be watching CBS every late night anymore but there are other shows I’m having moral agonizing about. 60 Minutes certainly is losing some of its best journalists for substantive/ethical reasons it seems. And I guess I can give up CBS Sunday morning, which I started because my friend was their main cameraman after having been Charles Karault’s On the Road cameraman, but he’s gone. That leaves only my daily fix of Jeopardy, which is on CBS in my area, though when I visit friends in New Jersey, it’s on ABC; go figure.
Here, too, thankfully. There's nothing I care about on CBS.
It is on NBC here.
I’m sorry - comedians holding a mirror up to politicians is 100% THE AMERICAN WAY 🇺🇸‼️
- this is beyond embarrassing
Yeah Byron fuck off and keep fucking off!
And he will be kept on a very short leash in order to please an audience of one...Trump.
[Yawn]
No political humor? What are they going to humor us with then? How the Mets suck?
How Grogu looks like Putin?
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*
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert averaged roughly 2.7 million viewers per episode, making it the most-watched show in late-night television for nine consecutive seasons.
I guess Trump just makes shit up, and doesn’t even care of his insults are true. Like a 8 year old.
He lives in his own narcistic fantasy world. No one gives his opinions and “thoughts” any
validity anymore
If he's talking, typing, dictating, etc., he's lying. Stephen Colbert is an American treasure; Donald Trump is an American cancer.
Yes here is what I had to say about that in length — if you get a min take a read

I love the one on the patio. I think she’s someone we would all have loved!
💯
Yes, I agree Trump is becoming cognitively impaired, but he'll never admit it. And he has devious and effective people pulling his strings. Miller for one. They will stuff him and prop him up if they have to.
Susan, He’ll yes is right I put odds 30% new party 70% Dems bulldoze all that the golden turd did.
Check out the closing number with McCartney. Excellent!!😀
Indeed it was. Really perfect!! 👏👏👏
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.
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.
Precisely. And no amount of gerrymandering is going to keep the GOP in power because when Trump dies, the infighting will split the party into tiny bits.
Don't forget that Trump, knowing how bad the midterms look, must have some crazed plan to interfere, before or after the voting.
Also, despite of how it's being characterized, it's NOT a "settlement." No court signed off on it.
Agree 100%. It takes two to tango - - and to settle a dispute. In this case, Trump was in a dispute with himself. Not only that, he was in a dispute with himself because of his own incompetence. The theft of IRS records occurred when Trump was President. It was his own administration that failed to protect tax records. You couldn't make this level of corruption up if you tried.
It’s SO blatantly illegal and literally the most moronic thing I’ve witnessed these criminals try to get away with yet.
And that’s a perfect point — Trump allowed the leak! But ofc he’d say “iT WAs bIDen’s FAuLt!”
EXACTLY! No judge signed off, and no “adversary” to be seen anywhere. Just two morons in govt deciding to slide our tax money away from us and into the hands of loyal criminals.
And obviously trump did not suffer ANY harm to his reputation as a result of the leak...and besides, he kept promising he would release his tax returns "when the audit is done"; every other president in modern history has willingly shared their tax returns but he acted like he had something to hide.
Exactly, worried about who gets the money and worried about their margins of support? Who the fuck cares? Right when you think, oh good they're finally pushing back, and it turns out to be more selfish, unethical bullshit.
Of course its illegal but who is going to stop. Several Democrats have bills demanding an investigation into Trump. But the Republucan controlled congress will never allow them on the floor for debate much less a vote.
Stephen Colbert
We love his flair
His sharp witty way
He devises to say
CBS, shove it somewhere
And it happened under his own administration. Todd Blanche should go to prison when this is over. I am not sure what for but he needs to be locked up.
For perjury, obstruction, treason, legal malpractice, allowing a convicted felon preferential treatment and a prison puppy, where do I stop
For giving Orange Hitler legal Carte *BLANCHE*
Epstein.
What is it with both sides’ obsession with ‘lock them up’? Whats wrong with the good ol’ guillotine?
Dems should hammer that point but they won’t…
The Democrats have bills demanding an investigation into Trump corruption, but the Republican Congress will never allow them on the floor to debate much less put to a vote. What more can they do? Elections have consequences.
In my wildest dreams, Colbert does a YouTube show, and in it, he has a daily recitation of one of your limericks, Doc!!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Uh, no, I am an amateur, not of professional ilk
Doc, I disagree.
I understand though. I am a writer--but as I have yet to get my manuscripts published, I suffer from "Imposter Syndrome" and have been chastised by a few kind successful authors who give me advice.
I would not call chasing your dream to be an "imposter" undertaking. Don't be so hard on yourself. And don't give up.
I am not giving up, but may resort to self-publishing as the traditional route is quite difficult these days.
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.
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
It's a long list: Mark Twain, H. L. Mencken, Lenny Bruce...
Molly Ivins...
I often think of how Molly Ivins would have eviscerated Trump daily. Thank goodness for Jeff.
God I miss her!
When I was a teenager, driving off a Detroit thruway exit, I saw a man standing on the side of the exit ramp, clutching a typewriter, with a large pile of papers flying about. I stopped and picked up as many papers as possible, loading him and his belongings into the car. It was Hunter S. Thompson! Quite the character!
Wow! Wowing!! That is 100% Thompson he was high on about 10 different drugs, by the way you told the story I know it’s true.
100% truth! And he was wearing an impossibly long winter scarf that trailed on the ground!
And Yoshie when I see your name on ‘likes’ I light up with a smile then the day is better, always.
Our small town paper had Hunter AP column syndicated and National. He was one of the most gifted writers on the circuit and never missed it. Yes we are talking Jeff on that level.
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.
I challenge him to say it to ME! I will happily get arrested to have the opportunity to bitch slap that little putz. 😡🤬
Brilliant! BRILLIANT POST!!
So trump says the Reflecting Pool "hasn't worked properly since it was built in 1922."
What does that even mean, it hasn't "worked properly"? It has always done what it was meant to do—reflect. What does he think it SHOULD have been doing all that time?
Shit-for-brains 💩
It doesn’t have a slide or a diving board!
But I’ll bet it was paid for because the money is gone if he can get his hands on it you know it will be in his pants somewhere. Those diapers are all full of something.
At least he's back to calling it a pool and not a lake. How many flash cards did that take?
Maybe we should be thankful he only wants to paint the bottom flag blue. I wouldn't put it past him to have mused about his face painted on the bottom. That's what he meant that it hasn't worked properly.
He wants people to throw coins into the reflecting pool and all of the other fountains that he started talking about…preferably gold coins with his face on them. Eric will have to go out at night and collect all of the money for daddy.
I love my hilarious, uncensored and profane news from Jeff every morning. It’s honestly the only way I can tolerate the nonstop insanity. Love your candid shots of Claudia throughout the years.
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.
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
That's definitely a thought.
The aphorism in difficult situations used to be "making lemonade out of lemons." In the drumpf era, "making fertilizer out of bullshit" seems more apropos
But before industrially synthesized fertilizers were available, bullshit was the predominant form of fertilizer. Chinese farm families used to do all their pooping in the field—it was called night soil.
Yes, and laden with E coli and other pathogens
When I see Blanche I think of the Twilight Zone episode where everyone has pig like faces
Wow, how will we get to see the half assed Reflecting Lake job if its that high - I guess that’s the point
Shoddy Toddy looks like an opossum (apologies to possums). And, when he's confronted, he has the same look that a cornered possum has: the possum bares its teeth and hisses fiercely, but, all the while, it has this desperate look in its eyes, hoping you'll just go away and leave it alone before it has to resort to its ultimate act--flopping over and playing dead. I wonder if Shoddy Toddy got to the flop part during his meeting with the displeased Rethuglicans.
😂
I remember the pig face episode, she was Hot, except for the face! 🤣
The Masks”
Dear Leader has now lost his mind
Yes suck ups still kiss his behind
"We will lose our power
By November's hour!"
His loyalty's one way you'll find.
So while you were blowing this slob
You'll find you're now out of a job
Was it really worth it?
I bet you now curse it
To dance with the devil, that BLOB!!!

Thanks Dave!!!
When I saw that yoooge outie behind drumpf, I thought, how cold are they keeping the Oval Bordello?!
At first I thought it was a pregnant woman and I was aghast that she’d have her unborn baby so close to Shitler.
I did too and was really confused as to why she was wearing khakis and a polo shirt. 😆
I was hoping it was the Alien ready to burst forth in all its gory, glory, landing on the Orange Anus.
My thought too, since herniated bellybuttons are usually reserved for pregnancy.
Same! That's pretty much what my very pregnant belly looked like.
Could be a closeted pregnant trans man 🧍♂️ Wouldn’t that be the ultimate hypocrisy
Bite yer tongue! Evangelical apocalypse!
I thought it was a pregnant woman at first.
The grossness of that image proves there's no one managing the media optics for Shitler these days. Why bother when he can look in a mirror and see himself aging in reverse?
There's obviously no one who loves outie man enough to tell him "Honey, you can't wear that shirt to the White House." Horizontal stripes are not the portly man's friend.
Lol!
