I've had one of those. Starter marriage, not une bombe. Or a Steely Dan T-shirt. The latter two would have been much more enjoyable, not to mention cheaper.
I've had one of them too. Kicked him to the curb after 10 months and ANNULLED his abusive ass. It would have been a LOT cheaper too since the first week after marrying him at 21, he quit his job to 'try different things' which somehow never panned out. After 'trying' Real Estate he decided to drive a cab but it was always either TOO cold, TOO hot, TOO much snow, TOO much rain and so on - so of course I worked even harder to pay the bills. What a dummy I was at 20-21 but he'd 'rescued' me from the previous horrible situation so I felt obligated. Groan.
Okay since you mentioned Julia Child, she published a chocolate bombe recipe back in the late 70s, which I've made a few times. It's chocolate mousse wrapped in chocolate cake with chocolate sauce, and likely an inspiration for a myriad of other chocolate desserts.
I've made that too. It's actually not hard, especially if you make it in a loaf pan instead of a bowl. Definitely for chocoholics.
It's in either Julia Child & Co or Julia Child & More Co (both volumes are combined in Julia Child's Menu Cookbook - I think I have that title right.) I don't know why these series/books don't get more love.
I was making it for a catering company I worked for back in the 80s and we always did the domed version and now I want to make it again! I'd def try the loaf pan way.
I confess: I'm a chocoholic and my mouth is watering. I AM usually in control of my addiction because migraineurs cannot afford to be otherwise, but I can envision this lovely, gooey inside, dripping chocolatey delicious sensuousness I so desperately want RIGHT NOW! Why did I read this thread at 6:e0a.m.? Aargh! ;)
I don't think I have Julia Child's cookbooks BUT I have quite the collection of cookbooks going back 30+ years I simply don't and won't ever use or need again. A few were used quite a bit, some never. I'd love to give them away to someone who'd be interested. Any ideas? Of course some are big and heavy so the postage could be pricey if I sent them somewhere. I'm on Long Island, NY. I'd really rather not see them dumped in the garbage.
A dessert bombe is usually shaped like a sphere and covered in chocolate. It's named after the original military bomb which was a cannon-ball filled with explosives. This is the meaning of bombs in Star Spangled Banner written during the War of 1812--"The bombs bursting in air."
Bomb acquired its modern meaning during World War I after the invention of the airplane.
I lived in Paris in the early 2000's and saw the Steely Dan reunion concert in July 2007 at The Grand Rex. I also had TWO starter marriages! Suddenly I'm feeling this is a sort of Six Degrees of Separation!
JFC, of course the lines at airports are going to be shorter. Any nonessential travel will be cancelled immediately. Except for the eternally under-informed MAGAs. I was nervous about traveling by air because I'm a US Citizen, but my mother was Japanese and married to my "All-American" dad. I can just see the ICE Clustered-Ass-Fucks detaining my 65 yo butt.
As for DICK Cheney claiming that US would be celebrated as liberators in Iraq, some rich fuck escapee from Iraq told Dick & Dubya that the Iraqi people had been so repressed by Saddam, they'd be eternally grateful for the liberation. Did Dick repeat to the press what he exactly wanted to hear? Perhaps. And there is no proof that Stupid Dubs nor Dick Cheney before he Dicks You, bothered to confirm this information using whatever assets the CIA had on the ground inside Iraq. Don't forget, lazy Dubs didn't read his intelligence reports.
Yes, BUT there is no timeline to grief and it will still hit him hard so we must allow for him to take AS MANY mental health/grief days as he needs and wants with all the support possible. I too love acerbic, funny and pissed-off Jeff but also his sentimental side. I'm here for it all no matter what. I believe we all pretty much feel the same way et comprenez (my french sucks now but I ADORE that French General!)
that's great! SO many responses - EVERYONE wants to celebrate that day with music/playlists and dancing in the streets, yet not ONE had to mention the fuckwit's name!
Such a jackass. Trying to blame Mueller for Donny convict’s self-inflicted wrecklessness. That search for documents at Roach-a-Lago wasn’t part of Mueller’s work.
"Find Hillary's emails! Are you listening, Russia?" wasn't any invitation for Putin to further corrupt the election, right? Stutterin' Scott is vying for Lindsey Graham's trophy as Trump sycophant of the era who won't pick a lane and just do his job.
I’m dreading that we’ll all be spending the rest of our lives setting the record straight for all his lies and actions. He’s like a black hole sucking everything into his gaping maw including all our energy.
I don’t want to go back to the future. I want to go back to the past and either put the insane orange mass into an institution at birth (with a ball gag; or, send ICE agents to the past to prevent the whole orange fever swamp lineage from ever entering the country; or, arrest them on the spot and send them to a shithole country like Russia or North Korea).
Where is Doc Brown when you need him?
Maybe if we all put our minds together and concentrate we can make his pumpkin head explode…worth a try…orange goo for everyone…Oprah could do the honors: “ You get a goo, and you get a goo…”
I'm coincidentally and currently halfway through Stephen King's HUGE tome: 11/22/63 (1000+ pages). Naturally, it's ostensibly about the Kennedy assassination BUT with a twist. Not a reveal to say that the theme involves time travel OR that in real life Stephen openly despises frump and makes THAT clear on 'the twatter-stream' as christinatalkst calls it, LOL. ANYway, it's an absolutely brilliant premise - which I somehow thought was a 'new' book but was written back in 2011, so unfortunately predated the entire frump regime. I AM going to ask Stephen if he would've tossed in some mention of the current fuckery if he'd written this incredible book more recently but first need to see how he ends this brilliant story.
Robert Mueller was a bonafide WAR Hero - receiving a bronze star AND a Purple Heart during his Vietnam service. He also RETURNED THERE - and the fucking coward-in-cheat has the fucking audacity to insult THAT man?! I believe he's SO intimidated by war heroes (John McCain, John Kerry - both of whom were deliberately maligned by repukes ABOUT their war-time heroics...the lies told were vile and disgusting...and other 'ordinary' men and women Tammy Duckworth, Mark Kelly, Elisa Slotkin, Jason Crow that he HAS to insult and try to bully them - even call for Mark Kelly (a Senator, war hero and even a fucking ASTRONAUT) to be executed!!! because he knows HE himself is the fucking cowardly piece of shit who deserves to be 'hanged for treason' not any of those good, decent people who served their Country AND happen to be Democrats. Robert Mueller is the latest victim of his despicable spew but was a lifelong conservative. Andrew Weisman spoke yesterday about working with (and for) Bob Mueller. Said he was a real caring human being and not the 'cold fish' others thought he was. He was simply shy and set out to do his job - preferred to work Homicide Prosecutions rather than the stuff he was given to do. He'd been a Homicide Prosecutor for years - something I didn't know. He NEVER EXONERATED frump! An absolute LIE told by frump to his cult - and of course THEY bought it. In fact he specifically stated that he could NOT exonerate him after they'd found so many others in his circle guilty. Another really good man gone and that fuck is still hurting so many people and damaging our Country. WHEN will this horrid fuckery be OVER?!
You know who hates bessent with the fury of a thousand suns? Tim Miller, who is out, proud, gay-married with children and wears his grandma's pearls. Tim is NOT having it with smug little queens out there making everybody look bad. Miss Lindsey is #2.
It’s an organization that didn’t make much sense, and still doesn’t. Many years ago, I worked at a large newspaper in Orange County. A reporter got the Cabin Club mixed up with the Log Cabin group. Cabin Club members weren’t amused. Arguably, it should have been caught by one of the 2-3 editors who read the story after it was filed.
Best I can figure, there are multiple, independent and de-linked, continuums within all of us. I myself am a conservative, but it's only a label of convenience. I've been on the run from the GOP ever since they even just *nominated* their orange god-king the first time (when I mark the time that they left me). I want free markets, free people, strict separation of church and state, and everybody stays the HELL out of everybody else's bedroom. Oh, and lavish funding of public child care and pre-K. I dunno, looks conservative to me.
Miller has come a long way from his days as a conservative and working for Jeb Shrub. But he still has some vestiges of his former delusions. He's getting there to fully be a lib. A work in progress. At least he's feverishly anti-drumpf
I agree with what you say. I myself will not become fully lib.
This whole experience has mashed people together in ways that never did before. Our ragtag pro-democracy coalition is not strictly liberal anymore (well, not in the post-modern sense, anyway). Lots of cross-fertilization going on in our little marketplace of ideas. Diversity is strength.
It depends on your definition. Being a liberal does not mean condoning laziness, irresponsibility, or unlawful behavior. Equality, fairness, human dignity, empathy, and kindness should not be political issues.
Tim Miller showed his wing nut roots by routinely trashing Biden & not crediting him for his legislative accomplishments which were many—even HCR said so (about Biden’s successes).
You’re right Publius! What a pathetic fuck Pissant Bessent is. I still don’t understand how any gays or minorities can support the orange mad hatter. Don’t they understand that they’re not just on “the list” — they’ll be the first to go.
I’m so sorry for your loss Mr. Bacon. You, of all people know the cost of war, and that beginning a war to distract from the Epstein scandal is beyond egregious.
Cheney was a diabolical monster and I thought we would never see the likes of his equal again. I was dead wrong! Now we have not only The Don but an entire Cabinet PLUS entire Congress members tearing our country apart! Once again, idiots have put our soldiers in harm’s way. Husband is a Vietnam vet, Joe. You have my heart.
Thank you for reminding us of the very personal nature of those losses. We hear the numbers and are appalled, but it's even worse to think about each individual and the people who love them. I'm so sorry for your loss.
The thought of more boots on the ground makes me so sick I can't even bear it. Somebody please put some boots on Prez Dumbfuck and all his spineless followers and set them down in the Strait of Hormuz. I'm sure they can tread water. No? Oh, too bad. Must be the boots.
Jeff, a small episode of “Golf with MAGAs”… I emailed this MAGAs the piece where Donald says we have wiped Iran off the map and earlier Donald proclaiming we won… So I ask this MAGAs who is lying? Was he lying then or is he lying now? He comes back with the remark that I have tds, no discussion on the substance of these articles. This is what I call the fox maneuver… do not answer a direct question, do not answer a yes or no question and attack the character of the individual asking the questions… Top down, fascist type of behavior… These folks are in a cult.. the only way they are leaving is getting extremely burned by the cult… Best to All.
More like the MAGATS have DTS, (Donald Trump Syndrome) just like their orange god. I understand that it is highly communicable among those who lack critical thinking skills.
Also glad not to be flying. Has anyone asked any airlines or airport management what they think about having TSA staffing turned into The Wild Bunch overnight? TSA wait times being increased to four and five hours is sure to horrribly impact daily airport functions and security.
My late father-in-law, enlisted in the Marine Corps, left his wife and two children to fight in WWII. He was the only member of his troop to survive Iwo Jima. It wasn't until he was dying at the age of 91, that he talked about being thrown onto a truck with corpses because they thought he was dead. So please STFU Graham Cracker.
My dad also fought in WWII…was ar Pearl. Was POW on Japanese held island….never talked about it until I found a diary his dad kept…but even then details were very scarce. I could tell the memories were brutal.
An uncle used to tell me that during the war he was the pilot who would deliver the booze to the officers' clubs and they were always happy to see him coming. Only at his funeral did a lifelong friend of his explain that he used to fly supplies to Pacific islands, coming in very low just skimming the water to evade Japanese radar, and flying back with all of the wounded who were in good enough shape to transport.
I know I can’t post a photo in the comments, but I saw a good one yesterday. It was a drawing of a man lying on the airport floor in a pool of blood, with 3 ICE agents leaning over him. One was saying, “I told you, no shampoo over 3.4 ounces.”
ICE CAN'T be bringing firearms into airports!!! Well, the numbnuts prez did say there would be a bloodbath if he lost the election. HEY DUMBFUCK, YOU WON! Oh, bloodbath anyway. From day 1.
I worry for anyone who comes out of a plane and is brown or black..and Ice asks them to step aside..maybe who is coming back from some all inclusive beach resort in the Caribbean and is vey tan and will be twerked to the ground because .." maybe they carry drugs"...I can envision all kinds of bad scenarios...not a good look for Tourism...I can assume ICE is in training for VOTER INTIMIDATION......
I agree with the French! Also…Iran says there has not been any negotiations…oh who to believe????!!!😡 No brains, no leadership-just a bunch of useless followers of an orange turd (as some would say). SO SICK of it! I’ve seen clips of ICE at San Fran airport harassing people…this shit needs to STOP!
NYT headline: "Iran War Live Updates: Trump Postpones Deadline For Strikes on Iran’s Energy Infrastructure
Iran disputed President Trump’s claim that the U.S. and Iran had held “very good” talks on ending the conflict, casting it as a ploy to soothe markets and to buy time for more military action."
I got up to "Dow jumps 700 points after Trump says U.S. and Iran have held ‘productive’ talks". To which my fine, jet-lagged, as-yet-uncaffeinated self said aloud, "No shit, Sherlock. I'm sure some Administration officials just made a bundle, too. 🖕"
He is extending his pretend detente for 5 days. Hmmm, what happens in 5 days? Do the markets close? Is the opportunity for another weekend 3 trillion swing in market cap available?
According to the Iranian administration, they haven't been in negotiations with the Trump administration. Does that mean Trump was telling porky pies. How unusual is that.
I’m utterly confused at this point. Donny says very positive negotiations for 2 days, then tells reporters this morning that Iran called the U.S. on Sunday “wanting to make a deal.” He won’t say who from Iran is doing the negotiating, but it’s not the new Ayatollah, but someone who is the “leader.” Witkoff and Kushner are again the ones allegedly negotiating for the U.S.
Meanwhile, Iran’s foreign minister says no negotiations at all. When asked about this, Donny claimed there were probably internal miscommunications because of how we were bombing everything.
I don’t know who to believe, but I know I don’t believe Donny.
Donny set a 48 hour ultimatum that if the Strait didn't open he'd start bombing power stations, which would result in counterstrikes on the power stations keeping our Mideast bases running, and be condemned as another war crime. Since the time was running out and Iran of course ignored his bluster, he had to make up some reason why he was chickening out.
Yes, and he had to fix the inevitable stock market crash and rise in oil prices - which he caused with his bomb threat on Saturday - before the markets opened on Monday.
Totally. It will require a third party powerhouse from another country to negotiate a cease fire and any kind of end to this illegal, pointless war. The U.S. has lost all credibility and sending in feckless real estate dicks Kushner and Witkoff won't cut it.
"If Lindsey Graham wants to see an American flag planted on Kharg Island, he should put on a fucking uniform and go do it himself. send us a postcard, bro. let us know how it’s working out."
There was one person only in the Bush administration against invading Iraq — and he was the only person who served in wartime (Colin Powell). There was Bush who got a cushy national guard post during Vietnam and apparently spent it chasing debutantes around Alabama; there was 5-deferment Cheney who said he had "better things to do" than serve. There was Rummy who served in the post-Korea Navy of the 50s in such war-torn areas as Michigan. There was Paul Wolfowitz who stayed in school and never served during Vietnam.
He actually served, which is unusual among Republicans. But he served in Europe in peacetime in the 80s. In the Bush administration, the only prominent member of the war cabal that served was Colin Powell and he was against the invasion of Iraq until they basically browbeat him down.
If you are from any country outside the US, do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT come here. Its quite possible the ICE agents will arrest you and put you in a dirty warehouse somewhere in the middle of no where.
Just read a story of an autistic 7 year old girl who is American, with an American father and legal Canadian mother, put alone in a warehouse in Texas. Whoever is responsible (Trump/Mullin) should be arrested for child abuse.
I got a trump voodoo doll from Etsy, but I can't stand to look at it, so it's hiding in a basket with all the pins still unstabbed. Maybe I will use it near the midterms...he has no heart, so I plan to stab his eyes.
Paula, I bought a roll of novelty toilet paper with Trump’s face on it back in…oh…2016 or so? I could never use it (YUCK) but planned to burn it once he was out of office. When Biden was elected, I almost had a bonfire to celebrate, but something stopped me. Like you, I shudder to bring the thing out now, but the midterms are an excellent time!
Mine is wearing a blue suit and overlong red tie. I wish I could post a picture. It's quite well made. I haven't taken it out of the clear plastic wrap yet, so I don't know if the jacket opens. I would burn it, but that would definitely set off the smoke alarm. I know that a time will come when I will absolutely NEED a way to vent my rage at it, so I'm holding off until then.
I love me some French 'la bombe f'
wait, google is telling me that 'la bombe' is some kind of massive, Simpsons-inspired eclair

Starter marriage
😂😂
😂😂😂
Bonus points for "starter marriage" AND the Steely Dan reference.
Fun Fact: My first official date with The Better ½ was to take her to see Steely Dan. Yes, she got the Steely Dan T-shirt. And still has it. 😎
I've had one of those. Starter marriage, not une bombe. Or a Steely Dan T-shirt. The latter two would have been much more enjoyable, not to mention cheaper.

Love Miller! It still boggles the mind that there are gay men (Graham & Mikey Johnson) who have gone onto the dark side…being a Republican.
My wife always asks why there is such a thing as Log Cabin Republicans. I have no answer.
So this was a term devised in the early 70’s for LGBTQ+ community members in CA. I still shake my head.
It’s an organization that didn’t make much sense, and still doesn’t. Many years ago, I worked at a large newspaper in Orange County. A reporter got the Cabin Club mixed up with the Log Cabin group. Cabin Club members weren’t amused. Arguably, it should have been caught by one of the 2-3 editors who read the story after it was filed.
And Richard Grenell who now has to freshen up his resume again.

It takes a lot from bessent to make steve 'taking a shit' mnuchin look not so bad by comparison.

Mnuchin was yet another gawwwd-awful white guy. Grifter+
Yes!!!

Poor poor donnie ! I’d try to walk a mile in his shoes, but they are probably filled with overflow from his diaper.
He always speaks in dots and dashes and I wonder if he's actually sending messages in Morse code when he speaks?
Maybe it's a hostage video message.
😂
Brilliant, Nora!
That can apply to this entire cadre of brown nosing crooks

Thank you - I always forget that footnote but Bessent and Thiel are subhumanly reprehensible.
🤢

... Good Will Hunting.
He has one of the most punchable faces in this whole fucked up administration.
Bessent used to be a completely different person. He has turned against himself. The kompromat on him must be terrifying.
Similar to L graham: never a prince, but at one time a somewhat decent person.
Yes, Trump will pull out and call it a success. If only Fred Trump had done that 80 years ago…
Anti-war slog from the Vietnam War: Nixon pull out like your father should have.
Also: "Why switch Dicks in the middle of a screw? Vote for Nixon in '72."
I remember that from high school, couldn’t stand the “Tricky Dicky”.
😂
hahahaha…good one!
Excellent thought and well stated Stephanie!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Brilliant Stephanie!!
Stephanie, hahahahaha!!!!😆
Well played, Ma'am, well played.
OMG. WISHING….
😂😂😂😂
I bet Stormy wish he had pulled out then. Yuck
This Gold Star Father replies to Log Cabin Liar Bessent with this--SHUT THE FUCK UP, ASSHOLE!!!!!
I’m so sorry for your loss Mr. Bacon. You, of all people know the cost of war, and that beginning a war to distract from the Epstein scandal is beyond egregious.
Dumbya and THE DICK lied us into a war that killed my son thanks to a heavy assist from the Corporate Controlled Conservative Press.
I will never forgive liars like Dumbya, THE DICK, Judith Miller, Fred Hiatt, Tim Russert and the rest of those GOP Presstitutes!
So sorry for your loss Joe😭
Cheney was a diabolical monster and I thought we would never see the likes of his equal again. I was dead wrong! Now we have not only The Don but an entire Cabinet PLUS entire Congress members tearing our country apart! Once again, idiots have put our soldiers in harm’s way. Husband is a Vietnam vet, Joe. You have my heart.
Thank you for reminding us of the very personal nature of those losses. We hear the numbers and are appalled, but it's even worse to think about each individual and the people who love them. I'm so sorry for your loss.
If we had to watch even a few minutes of each funeral, it might make an impression. Or see how the wounded are dealing with life-changing injuries.
Reprehensible assholes, all.
Trump has the blood of thousands of people on his hands…and counting.
The thought of more boots on the ground makes me so sick I can't even bear it. Somebody please put some boots on Prez Dumbfuck and all his spineless followers and set them down in the Strait of Hormuz. I'm sure they can tread water. No? Oh, too bad. Must be the boots.
How many more so-called "suckers and losers" will die thanks to the goddamned asshole in the Oval Office and his consigliere Stephen Miller?
Judy Miller should have been fired.
Every single war fan flunky must be charged for the war crimes!
So sorry, Joe.
Brokeback Mountain MAGAt
Jeff, a small episode of “Golf with MAGAs”… I emailed this MAGAs the piece where Donald says we have wiped Iran off the map and earlier Donald proclaiming we won… So I ask this MAGAs who is lying? Was he lying then or is he lying now? He comes back with the remark that I have tds, no discussion on the substance of these articles. This is what I call the fox maneuver… do not answer a direct question, do not answer a yes or no question and attack the character of the individual asking the questions… Top down, fascist type of behavior… These folks are in a cult.. the only way they are leaving is getting extremely burned by the cult… Best to All.
I don’t know how you keep in contact with those guys…but kudos to you for trying to get them to see the truth!
The ad hominem attack is basically their only weapon
As I said.. they have ll been to the fox school of MGAS talk… no substance… heck just watch congressional hearings of this cabinet… Geesh 🤮
MAGAs are definitely estranged
From how reality's arranged
Repeatedly burned
And yet never learned
They're the ones who are deranged
More rhyming brilliance!
Doc I got some rando Ole giving me s**t for my limericks and being low information.. I like the way u put things together..🫨 without insulting folks.
Just MAGAs. But they deserve it
As I've posted previously, MAGAts have only two modes of argument:
1. Projecting their flaws onto others.
2. Engaging in "what-aboutism."
More like the MAGATS have DTS, (Donald Trump Syndrome) just like their orange god. I understand that it is highly communicable among those who lack critical thinking skills.
I just ask them when they claim I have tds what flavor Koolaid did they drink.
oooooo--good one!
After all the support they offered TFG to become POTUS twice, I would hope they would get burned, and badly, by TFG and his regime.
It took a Village
Thanks for trying to bring some light into the darkness.
That’s all they have and, as is the case with cult members, the derangement is what they have.
People leave cults when they realize they’ve been had, or when they cross an ever-shifting invisible line and are kicked out.
Or they drink the poison Kool Aid at gun point. "Apparently, they are idiots," to paraphrase a gas-price reformed MAGAT.
Even then… :/
More foreign leaders need to be like that French general. This is batshit! People need to stop deferring to the pricktator,
So glad I am not flying, I tell you.
I'm fortunate to live near the Canadian border. I can just hop over and get on a flight to anywhere other than here! And--no TSA! or ICE!!
I'm jealous
Also glad not to be flying. Has anyone asked any airlines or airport management what they think about having TSA staffing turned into The Wild Bunch overnight? TSA wait times being increased to four and five hours is sure to horrribly impact daily airport functions and security.
These fucking morons now have the entire northeast US shut down. They would fuck up a 2-car funeral.
“Wild Bunch!” Perfect!
And there’s absolutely nothing they can do but get more in the way, which means that the lines will get longer!!!
My late father-in-law, enlisted in the Marine Corps, left his wife and two children to fight in WWII. He was the only member of his troop to survive Iwo Jima. It wasn't until he was dying at the age of 91, that he talked about being thrown onto a truck with corpses because they thought he was dead. So please STFU Graham Cracker.
My dad also fought in WWII…was ar Pearl. Was POW on Japanese held island….never talked about it until I found a diary his dad kept…but even then details were very scarce. I could tell the memories were brutal.
Graham was an Air Force JAG (lawyer) who served in Frankfort, Germany where he liked faced little danger.
But the paper cuts...
Paper cuts can be verrry painful.
An uncle used to tell me that during the war he was the pilot who would deliver the booze to the officers' clubs and they were always happy to see him coming. Only at his funeral did a lifelong friend of his explain that he used to fly supplies to Pacific islands, coming in very low just skimming the water to evade Japanese radar, and flying back with all of the wounded who were in good enough shape to transport.
I know I can’t post a photo in the comments, but I saw a good one yesterday. It was a drawing of a man lying on the airport floor in a pool of blood, with 3 ICE agents leaning over him. One was saying, “I told you, no shampoo over 3.4 ounces.”
Sad but probably going to be true.
ICE CAN'T be bringing firearms into airports!!! Well, the numbnuts prez did say there would be a bloodbath if he lost the election. HEY DUMBFUCK, YOU WON! Oh, bloodbath anyway. From day 1.

Another good one
https://www.dailycartoonist.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/german-0323.webp
Brilliant. If very sad. 😔
If it wasn't so real
Omg! How were you able to do that?
Typed “I told you, no shampoo over 3.4 ounces” into google image search, found it, R-clicked "Copy image address", and posted it here
I did that too, but I couldn’t paste the link into my comment. 🤷♀️
I worry for anyone who comes out of a plane and is brown or black..and Ice asks them to step aside..maybe who is coming back from some all inclusive beach resort in the Caribbean and is vey tan and will be twerked to the ground because .." maybe they carry drugs"...I can envision all kinds of bad scenarios...not a good look for Tourism...I can assume ICE is in training for VOTER INTIMIDATION......
‘qu’il aille se faire foutre.’
T-shirt. Stat.
Zut alors!!!
Oh, yeah--send me the link!
I'd buy that!
c'est une idee magnifique! moi, j'en veux une douzainne!!
I agree with the French! Also…Iran says there has not been any negotiations…oh who to believe????!!!😡 No brains, no leadership-just a bunch of useless followers of an orange turd (as some would say). SO SICK of it! I’ve seen clips of ICE at San Fran airport harassing people…this shit needs to STOP!
has that been confirmed, that Iran says no negotiations?
NYT headline: "Iran War Live Updates: Trump Postpones Deadline For Strikes on Iran’s Energy Infrastructure
Iran disputed President Trump’s claim that the U.S. and Iran had held “very good” talks on ending the conflict, casting it as a ploy to soothe markets and to buy time for more military action."
Everything this regime does is all about market manipulation and self-enrichment.
I got up to "Dow jumps 700 points after Trump says U.S. and Iran have held ‘productive’ talks". To which my fine, jet-lagged, as-yet-uncaffeinated self said aloud, "No shit, Sherlock. I'm sure some Administration officials just made a bundle, too. 🖕"
To quote of Fearless Leader, "Who ARE these negotiators? Are they in the room with us now?"
He is extending his pretend detente for 5 days. Hmmm, what happens in 5 days? Do the markets close? Is the opportunity for another weekend 3 trillion swing in market cap available?
Iran media says NO negotiations....at this point, I believe them more than our useless scribblers
The useless scribblers just transcribe what Donny spews.
yes I should have said that....it is basically state propaganda
As soon as I read about the “strong talks” this morning, I knew it was more of Donny’s BS.
BBC reported it
BBC reports that Trump said blahblahblah and Iran denies it.
Iran says they haven't talked to anyone and that Donny is lying. Who to believe, who to believe ...
Thats easy. The not serial liars.
According to the Iranian administration, they haven't been in negotiations with the Trump administration. Does that mean Trump was telling porky pies. How unusual is that.
According to Aaron Parnas this morning….
I’m utterly confused at this point. Donny says very positive negotiations for 2 days, then tells reporters this morning that Iran called the U.S. on Sunday “wanting to make a deal.” He won’t say who from Iran is doing the negotiating, but it’s not the new Ayatollah, but someone who is the “leader.” Witkoff and Kushner are again the ones allegedly negotiating for the U.S.
Meanwhile, Iran’s foreign minister says no negotiations at all. When asked about this, Donny claimed there were probably internal miscommunications because of how we were bombing everything.
I don’t know who to believe, but I know I don’t believe Donny.
Donny set a 48 hour ultimatum that if the Strait didn't open he'd start bombing power stations, which would result in counterstrikes on the power stations keeping our Mideast bases running, and be condemned as another war crime. Since the time was running out and Iran of course ignored his bluster, he had to make up some reason why he was chickening out.
Yes, and he had to fix the inevitable stock market crash and rise in oil prices - which he caused with his bomb threat on Saturday - before the markets opened on Monday.
Some folks made a bunch of money out of this.
Bet you're 100% accurate there, Robert. Makes perfect sense in Rumpworld.
IRAN will not talk anyone from this Regime...they were dupted ..then were attacked minutes later.....now they know!
Totally. It will require a third party powerhouse from another country to negotiate a cease fire and any kind of end to this illegal, pointless war. The U.S. has lost all credibility and sending in feckless real estate dicks Kushner and Witkoff won't cut it.
based on the AF1 gaggle, sure sounds like the felon had another imaginary conversation. https://www.forth.news/whpool/CZLHoyzmaGnAFkhDUdEAw
Are the Iranian negotiators big and strong, with tears in their eyes, saying “sir, sir”? Are the Iranian negotiators in the room with us right now??

thank you for sharing that-thugs everywhere! geesh!
"If Lindsey Graham wants to see an American flag planted on Kharg Island, he should put on a fucking uniform and go do it himself. send us a postcard, bro. let us know how it’s working out."
If only we could vote on such things.
Anybody who has not personally served in the military and been in an actual war should be prohibited from starting one.
There was one person only in the Bush administration against invading Iraq — and he was the only person who served in wartime (Colin Powell). There was Bush who got a cushy national guard post during Vietnam and apparently spent it chasing debutantes around Alabama; there was 5-deferment Cheney who said he had "better things to do" than serve. There was Rummy who served in the post-Korea Navy of the 50s in such war-torn areas as Michigan. There was Paul Wolfowitz who stayed in school and never served during Vietnam.
Just picturing old Lindsay straddling a nuke, holding a little flag flying toward Iran with a message on the nuke “just a little excursion” 🤣
At last, a possible reason to employ AI image generation.
He actually served, which is unusual among Republicans. But he served in Europe in peacetime in the 80s. In the Bush administration, the only prominent member of the war cabal that served was Colin Powell and he was against the invasion of Iraq until they basically browbeat him down.
And take Barron, Don Jr., and Eric with him.
Where is the meme maker who can dress up Linz in some desert camo and an American flag, running into battle?
How lucky we are to be living through Americas freak show. Can’t wait to see Trump obituaried, if that’s a word.
and obliterated.
Common terror cells. Work your magic.
Can’t wait to see Trump obitchuary.
Imagine the worldwide chorus of "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead" or whatever each nation finds suitable
Trump should have on his headstone "qu'il aille se faire foutre"
When he dies..I will dance to LITTLEVA'S DANCING IN THE STREETS....
It’s a word now
If you are from any country outside the US, do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT come here. Its quite possible the ICE agents will arrest you and put you in a dirty warehouse somewhere in the middle of no where.
Just read a story of an autistic 7 year old girl who is American, with an American father and legal Canadian mother, put alone in a warehouse in Texas. Whoever is responsible (Trump/Mullin) should be arrested for child abuse.
That's the LEAST that should happen. The responsible parties should be sent to CECOT, with "pedophile" stenciled on their jumpsuits.
If we ever get around to finding all the shit that wasn’t discovered, boy oh boy some people need to catch hell
This will never get old. Kudos to this general, and the French overall for their attitude. And yes, alles-vous faire foutre, Donnie.
He doesn't deserve "vous."
Va te faire foutre, Dotard
Exactement!
I’m lighting candles to arterial plaque.
I got a trump voodoo doll from Etsy, but I can't stand to look at it, so it's hiding in a basket with all the pins still unstabbed. Maybe I will use it near the midterms...he has no heart, so I plan to stab his eyes.
Put it in a shoebox and stick knitting needles through the box, problem solved
Brilliant!
Paula, I bought a roll of novelty toilet paper with Trump’s face on it back in…oh…2016 or so? I could never use it (YUCK) but planned to burn it once he was out of office. When Biden was elected, I almost had a bonfire to celebrate, but something stopped me. Like you, I shudder to bring the thing out now, but the midterms are an excellent time!
🤣🤣🤣
Put a bag over its head
It's tempting to just tear it to bits with an exacto-knife.
Really? Mine does have a heart…and three little skull pins. One is in his head, one in his heart. Guess where the other one is.
Mine is wearing a blue suit and overlong red tie. I wish I could post a picture. It's quite well made. I haven't taken it out of the clear plastic wrap yet, so I don't know if the jacket opens. I would burn it, but that would definitely set off the smoke alarm. I know that a time will come when I will absolutely NEED a way to vent my rage at it, so I'm holding off until then.
😂😂😂
They actually sell those? Huh. Must be very popular worldwide (made in China, too)
i came THIS close to buying one the other day! 😃
I've been manifesting like crazy. Let's do this!
I bought mine for myself for my birthday.
Mon général, je vous aime.
J't'aime. ❤️❤️
