Honestly, I didn’t catch it till it was slowed down. Reminds me of Odd Job, Goldfinger’s caddy with a hole in his pocket from which golf balls made their way down his leg. And Markwayne (Markwayne? His mother didn’t know if Mark or Wayne was the daddy?) is the perfect example of why Oklahoma is last in the US in education.

Note that Trump is staring intently at the caddy, and just after the caddy drops the ball, trump gets out of the golf cart and looks around to see if anyone saw the cheat. His covert skills are -10 on a scale of 4. To summarize, he “knows dick about dick."

Soon the WH will issue a statement condemning the video. They will explain that the dropped ball was an accident, and was unseen by the golfer, whose distance vision was permanently damaged by his bone spurs, and who therefore was innocent, simply playing the first ball he came upon.

And MAGA will lap it up.

One of the best books I've read recently is Rick Reilly's 2019 Commander in Cheat. Rick is a long-time professional golf writer who has played with Trump and dissects in hilarious prose exactly how false Trump's claims to being a world-class golfer are. One of my favorite parts is where Trump excuses some cheat by saying "Everyone does it." Reilly writes, "I've been playing golf for 50 years and I have only seen one person do it. His picture is on the cover of this book."

Considering Turnberry is a links golf course there’s got to be a whole lot of cheating going on when tRUMP “plays”. I’m surprised the caddies’ pants weren’t falling off with all the balls they were carrying. Mind you, tRUMP probably has extra caddies waiting and watching at different holes ready to aid and abet 😱 Would love to have seen President McDroppedonhead’s shot out of the spot his ball was thrown in. Pretty sure a one armed golfer would have hit the ball with greater precision and accuracy than the orange jobbie.

That’s where his actual shot did go, in the sand trap. He’s even lied about it when his shot went in the pond & everyone saw the splash; but when they arrived at the green, there was his ball!!!!

Nancy Mace is seriously demented. Today I saw a YouTube clip of ICE stopping a man who was with his toddler (in a chair seat), on his way to drop the kid off at daycare. The man was a professional (chiropractor), his American wife is a doctor. They apparently took his kid to the daycare and god knows where they put him. Nancy “The Cunt” Mace: Is that the sort of thing that makes you laugh and feel proud?

The interaction with the man and his baby was so sweet. I wish he’d just rilled up his window and drove away. They have no warrants, no nothing.

Does anyone know if illegal to get a bullhorn and speak over these guys? Or to tell those stopped that they can just move along?

This video just about broke me. I am still so furious, I want to scream.

You have it even worse than me - I hate that Donald Trump's birthday and mine are in the same month; and that he has blue eyes like me.

Her rejoinder was always, "Well, you're just down a quart." Don't get the wrong idea though, we love each other dearly.

May I suggest Bear Spray ... it is (sadly) a non-lethal method of deterrent, but who wants to kill bears besides DJ's half-wit sons?

However, this is the write-up on it: "Bear spray is a non-lethal deterrent designed to stop aggressive behavior in bears. It uses a fine cloud of Capsicum derivatives to temporarily reduce a bear's ability to breath, see, and smell, giving you time to leave the area. The active ingredients of bear spray are capsaicin and capsaicinoids, which inflame the eyes and upper respiratory tract of the bear. Bear spray was developed in the 1980s after a spate of fatal bear attacks against people."

Once upon a time, a student at my school was playing for the state golf championship, and he was one of the favorites to win. A little more than halfway through the championship game, he realized he had played the wrong ball--there were no officials at the hole he'd played; his closest competitor hadn't seen.....No one would have known. He walked until he found an official, explained what he'd done, and disqualified himself. I never forgot his explanation: "It was the right thing to do. I couldn't win by cheating."

As a golfer myself, this shit would never fly on any course. Years ago at a golf tournament, I was a plant in a foursome since the golfer in question was winning year after year.

Nobody knew what was happening except my buddies who put together the tournament. Like Dear Cheater, he had no shame or remorse.

I attended a memorial service for my recently deceased MIL on Saturday. At the service the closing song was Let There Be Peace On Earth. As I listened to the words, especially the 2nd verse, I felt great sadness. Not just for the passing of my wife's mother, but for where we now find ourselves. The lies and hypocrisy, the demeaning of those that are not like the ruling class, the degradation of our fellow man and the constitution along with it. I found myself filling with rage at what this country has turned into. Though as we all know, this didn't just happen. It's been bubbling under the surface for decades if not centuries. Still though, I can never forgive those who chose this madness and unleashed this criminal nightmare.

Here is part of that second verse: "Brothers all are we Let me walk with my brother In perfect harmony."

That last one ENRAGED me so much that I called as soon as I saw that and cancelled. They were complete a--holes when I cancelled and tried to charge me for the whole year. I was on the phone with them for way too long - insisting they give me a full refund - I had just paid for the next year the day before. They prorated my refund minus the one day into the subscription. I have never looked back and refuse to look at anything they produce. Interestingly, Glenn Kessler, whom I asked them to fire and I would consider keeping my subscription, announced about an hour ago that he has accepted a buyout and will be leaving July 31st.

That explains the absence of faux gold. Thanks. I was confused.

Few things would please me more than to see Nancy Mace get double flushed. Nancy went from bemoaning Trump to emulating his shittiness in record time. What a giant reeking pantyload! Fortunately for future voters, her decay is showing on her face. That's what rotting from the inside does to a person.

Jeff, it's only cheating if he doesn't take a stroke penalty. Tossing a new ball is called "taking a drop". Of course, if he's in the sand, you're not allowed to take a drop, and then that's cheating. But, knowing Dumpf, he played the new ball, and didn't take the penalty. Which is definitely cheating.

And Mullins is a product of the Oklahoma school system. 'Nuff said.

As for Mace, she needs serious psychological counseling.

Friends: our focus is off-kilter. Creatures like Mace etc win elections in their districts. Whether they are inherently vicious or staunchly stupid seems beside the point. They were elected by voters, our fellow citizens. That is the real worrisome aspect.

Excellent point, meryl. It isn't emphasized enough.

That’s where ‘getting primaried’ comes in.

I'd rather he'd just taken a stroke. Take a drop right at the sand.

I'm not talking about golf rules.

He probably plays at least one or two Mulligans per hole. (🤪)

I mean, Americans are fine with him cheating kids with cancer out of money. They're fine with him picking their pockets as long as he smashes the minorities they hate. So *shrugs* Winning by losing I guess.

And I'll believe what they say about being dissatisfied with this Epstein awfulness if they actually do something to reduce this pricktator's power. Near as I can tell, all they need is just some flimsy excuse to vote for him again.

Democrats need to be perfect. Republicans only need excuses.
