"EXCLUSIVE: Congressman Tim Burchett says he wouldn't know Bad Bunny if the rapper walked up to him and asked to borrow his cell phone ... and the only bad bunny he knows is his pet rabbit, who had sex on Christmas morning in front of his nephew."
When I worked at Random House, I was given a copy of Cerf's autobiography, "At Random". Everyone there got one. Whenever somebody left, it was usually left behind. A colleague moved into an office that had four or five of them from previous occupants. I did enjoy his limericks.
Bunny sex is very, very short lived. I'm sure that the nephew wasn't traumatized. He's probably watched his relatives have sex with each other for years.
A cousin raised rabbits for a while. He described their mating as, "The male mounts the female and humps furiously for maybe 15 seconds, then keels over unconscious and sleeps for a minute before jumping up and looking around for the female," he would always add, "It was a lot like the '70s".
But with all the Dems over-performing in the Ruby Red South, there is some hope for Shawn Harris - the former Brigadier General trying to win MTG’s former district. The special election is March 3rd. Watch this space! Superlative job on JD Couchfucker, Jeff! Even the rethuglicans detest him! He’ll be a magnificent candidate for them in 2028, if he doesn’t catch some awful STD from a promiscuous couch…
vance danger comes from thiel, et al, buying the Presidency like he bought vance's Ohio Senate seat. After what happened in 2024, never underestimate the stupidity of the American electorate. Especially when big tech money (Beware AI) is backing him.
I never discount their influence. One of the raft of Constitutional Amendments we need is one overturning Citizens United. I, personally am in favor of limiting all citizen campaign donations to $250/race and all corporate donations to $0.00. I would also ban PACs.
Especially the contrarian douche-bros, who would vote for his stained couch, if it had an "R" in its description, and they were told it would "own the libs".
I wouldn't recognize any of his songs and have no intention of watching the halftime show or, indeed, any of the game.
I will be following the news accounts, though. And will vicariously cheer Bad Bunny on. (Couldn't care less who wins the game, and I live in the Boston area.)
You know, I gave up watching sports cold turkey in 2016 after calculating that I had spent -- quite literally and +/- one month -- *8 years and 4 months* of my life to that point parked in front of a TV watching football, baseball, soccer, etc.
Don't get me wrong: I enjoyed it and it helped me escape various unpleasant realities and kept me off the street. And who knows what I would have done with those 73,021 freed up hours anyway (although, according to Malcolm Gladwell anyway, I might have achieved mastery of seven separate pursuits -- classical piano and violin, number theory, bridge, coding, and the life and times of Palestrina -- with 3,021 hours to spare).
Of course I would have missed Game 6 of the 1986 World Series, among other high points of my life. It was a hard call. But now that I am clean, I can't say I feel deprived. I still referee college and semi-pro soccer, still swim 5 miles/week, still enjoy doing (and reading about) sports.
But from 3 to 7 PST today, we'll be taking a nice long walk on what I expect will be pretty empty trails!
The one sport I follow, to the amazement of my friends, is World Cup soccer. I figured out why. At the end of the 45 minute halves, there's a corrective few minutes for "stoppage time." Unless there's a tie, that's it. In football there can be two minutes left on the clock and I can go take a shower and make dinner and when I come back they'll STILL be playing.
I'm cheering for Bad Bunny too, (he's absolutely gorgeous by the way).
oh but Green Day! and Billie Joe Armstrong will sing "American Idiot" which got made into a musical, which he wrote about Bush, but still relevant today. Still gets my blood pumping. He's got that punk energy.
Same. I still listen to classic rock. I think the only musician I knew at the Grammy's was Lady GaGa and haven't watched it in years, but I have heard of Bad Bunny, saw the clip of his speech and applauded him for it. I'm going to youtube to hear him now, especially because they are all so TWISTED over it!! It's like Madonna in the 80s.
Who even knows who Tim Burchett is anyway. Superbowl half time is going to be the show of the year. I hope the crowd chants FUCK ICE like they did at the wrestling match.
compared to a greasy, sweaty 55 year old man who calls himself "Kidd" who dresses like a slob who has won no grammys and has been arrested at least 4 times... yeah, that is their type of entertainer
I wouldn't know 99% of them, deliberately. My best friend spent 20 minutes explaining who "Jelly Roll" was, evidently he ate his nasal contents on camera, while sitting behind trump at some sports-thing. She told me to see the video, but I declined, she now only refers to him as "booger"
When public opinion is STRONG, Trump knows he has to back down. It's time to call Congress (202 224 3121) and the White House (202 456 1414) about ICE reform. The next 10 days are critical. Read about the 10 Democratic proposals to curb ICE.
He probably is scared to death that someone is going to poison his food. To that I say: “Good”
He bring his own couches too?
And they brought 3 cargo planes? JFC. That’s what I flew on in the Air Force.
You know how much that likely cost tax payers just for that piece of it?
Likely a million or more dollars, just to fly over there, maybe 2 million.
Stupid couch fucker. It’s not like he’s in the fucking Olympics. Why’d we have to waste 2M of our tax dollars for him to go there and get booed everywhere he goes?
I bet it's a hell of a lot more than one or two million dollars! Bringing all those vehicles and his special food, plus the massive security detail he brought along, was probably in the tens of millions.
Brought his own vehicles??? That's flushing our money right down the toilet. Did he bring his own ICE team? Did they participate in the Olympics? Their specialty being blatant street shooting of Americans.
I knew he was thinking about it; didn't know he actually did it. What a lowlife. I get pissed off every time I think about him. Guess I shouldn't think about him anymore. Thanx for the info. I think.
"He probably is scared to death that someone is going to poison his food."
Have you ever driven in Italian traffic?
I have.
There's nothing scarier than being the driver whose camper stalled out as she tried to exit a parking lot, blocking two lanes for several very tense minutes while she tried to restart it. And JD's caravan probably tied up traffic from one end of Milan to the other.
Poisoning the drivers' food would be the humane alternative.
Our driver, who picked us up from the cruise ship, drove with one hand, flipped off the other drivers with other hand, while making his own lane, on the side of the road.
Then there was the little old guy who missed his exit, and reversed right into our tour bus, on the freeway. I would not drive there, or in Paris, for anything.
Can’t say I have either, they are so macho I’m not surprised, though. Here they would just get shot. My spouse explained you can tell the driving style by which side has dents. And watch out for the dents on both-sides driver.
I remember Bernie Sanders showing up in a Subaru Outback for a rally in Seattle years ago and I thought "That dude is cool!" No fanfare, no motorcade, just Bernie being driven to the rally by a regular person. These public officials who feel the need to draw so much attention to themselves are pathetic losers. The massive amount of money that we are spending protecting these assholes infuriates me. Grrrr!😡
in 2015/2016 he put off asking for secret service protection. but after his campaign offices started getting shot up (& who knows what things we didn't hear about) he had to ask for it.
He held a rally in Birmingham, AL on MLK Jr Day in 2016. He had private security around him. Next weekend, it was USS.
Bernie hates people though. I recall him coming here to Cleveland to campaign for Nina Turner. They had a march to the polls and he was all by himself — grumpy, antisocial, not talking to anyone. I have photos! Cornell West was also there and he was talking to everyone.
Bernie may be famously grumpy, but he does not hate people. i don't know what was going on that day, but that's not normal.
for ex, he used to - i don't know if he still does - drive around Vermont during summer recess, stop in the small towns & businesses & meet & talk with people.
Bernie is still on the ground meeting with the little people. Held a Townhall meeting in Poultney, Vermont just last week. We’re talking small town here.
Bernie is legendary for being unfriendly and rude. The Vermont press has written about it extensively (I've read the articles), but for some reason, this never broke out of Vermont.
I don't find his misanthropy and misogyny "refreshing" at all, especially when women get excoriated for not smiling enough. I'm still furious at how the media raked Amy Klobuchar over the coals for allegedly being a little rude to her staff — something Bernie has been known for in Vermont for decades.
Cornell West is super gregarious. I like him because my son and his friends recognized him at a diner, had a nice chat, then let him finish his lunch, and when they called for their check, Brother Cornell had covered it! He bought my kid lunch, so he can say whatever he wants.
Yeah she is as much of stuck up phoney as he is. She'll be smiling less when trades her in for a "white" wife. He has too much ambition and he is too unlikable to see she's a liability.
Yes, it does reek of that, he's probably hoping she dies in childbirth with all the anti abortion laws his team helped pass, that's more likely than when women could get proper healthcare, without some dimwit Evangelistic bunch making harmful laws about what care can be given.
Then he will marry the widow Kirk's money, and dump Peter Thiel for good. His jaw is probably getting tired by now.
The problem is that they will find a compliant judge who accepts bribes. It happened recently with the proposed building of detention centers, aka Concentration Camps. There is a real story there, prisons for profit. Private prisons are an abomination and must be stopped if we win back our country.
"Cash for Kids" was a big scandal here in NEPA. There are still some people serving sentences years later for sending kids to prison in exchange for $$$
A kind of "build it and they will come" thing. That's why everyone is being rounded up, to feed the beast and get the money from our government. Who funds our government, you ask? You do. I do. All the little people do.
Doggone glad you didn’t go with the rX scamathon. Vance is always worthy to receive those buckets of dung we’ve hauled up onto the rooftops. Plop plop fizz fizz and go fuck a couch. Fucking faux-billy. Go fuck a couch, McGee.
The sheer volume of these scams is overwhelming. As soon as we hear about one it’s old news. If there’s an area of human activity where he thinks he can dip his beak, the beak gets dipped. Healthcare in this country is nuts. At every level except in the hearts and hands and consciences of so many physicians and nurses, EMTs and pharmacists… and the rage is building again. I gotta take a walk (and leave my phone).
Look at the nursing strikes. I work in a hospital and I support them 1000%. The issues are the same everywhere. Doesn't matter what state you work in. Nurse Blake is an RN comedian that we all love. He does comedy tours all over the country. But he's a serious supporter of nurses and our issues. He calls admin out all the time. You can find him on Facebook and probably other social media. Really a super person.
How about the one that goes...money is being taken out of the military coffers to build concentration camps that hold 8000+ people? Don't blink. Keep your eyes wide open and defiance till death.
It must be terribly hard to find something entertaining during these troubled times. The only thing that gives me hope is that Democratic candidates are performing so well. America is tired of this lawless and evil regime.
Im getting annoyed because the only social media I read is bluesky. Recently I've been reading posts saying we have to stop voting for Democrats until they run candidates who are truly far left and want real change. And the Democrats running now are just as bad Republicans.
These posts are clearly from paid right wing hack who want to split the Democratic vote in the midterm.
How can it be a scam when the drug companies will pay you 10, 20, 100x more than what the drug is worth? Doesn’t trump just make it sound so amazing with his alternative math? I haven’t seen any posts from maga praising trump rx because of the deep discounts he keeps talking about but I would love to see them putting their IQ < 60 on display.
Brought his own food because he fears the people of Europe, who see his resemblance to historic evil in their past, might just take things into their own hands. No way the entitled dictator-in-waiting could ever casually walk the streets of Milan. A small consolation for the rest of us, I suppose.
Imagine being hated and fearing for your life so much you have to FLY 14 vehicles, food, chefs to another country to prevent from being harmed. Stay home buddy.
Imagine being so grandiose and narcissistic that you have to bring 14 plans, and multiple armored vehicles which almost hold up an olympian skater from making it to her event. While he has stiff competition for the most loathed person in the GOP, he comes close to the top.
I just wish that the boos for Vance had been louder. How dare they waste our hard earned tax money on their Imperial appearance. May they all rot in Hell, or preferably jail.
Waiting for them to slash Medicare and privatize Social Security because they're running out of money for these programs. They kicked off 2025 with DOGE killing Agency for International Development funding to feed starving kids peanut butter paste. Waste and fraud. America has been getting a golden shower from Trump since 2016.
Being dumbfounded by idea of bringing your own food to Italy, I had to read the link, and this part jumped out at me:
"After completing his visit to Italy, JD Vance is expected to travel to Armenia and Azerbaijan. According to official US sources, he has been tasked by President Donald Trump with advancing an agreement aimed at ending the long-standing conflict between the two countries, which has lasted for nearly four decades."
Wasn't this one of the many wars instantly ENDED by trump (sometimes referring to Albania instead)
I live about a 15 minute walk from the vice president’s residence. Gore and Biden were great neighbors as were Kamala and Doug. Pence avoided the neighborhood and Cheney made the mistake of walking into the Blockbuster (boy I’m old but he’s dead…) and was booed out so we never saw him again. Then the CF moved in and decided that motorcading up Wisconsin Ave (main road behind the VP’s house) several times a week was a good idea. Or maybe not. People would come out of stores, bars, restaurants, etc…to flip him off and shout FUCK YOU. Even the dogs barked at him. Babies in their strollers would wail. After a couple months of fucking with us and our traffic, he stopped. I think now he just Marine Twos his way around town. (We stand in the streets and flip off the helicopter, too.)
Imagine getting a free trip to Italy, all expense paid by US taxpayers--the land whose cuisine has been deemed a world treasure.........and you bring your own food. How much of an utter hick is he?
Although, yes: I would expect (expectorate?) a saliva shortage on the line in the restaurant kitchens.
I'm surprised that JustA Dick didn't also pack his own food taster, a la Putin.
i heard it on some nbc broadcast; well youtube i guess
here's the thing. NBC has been a shameless homer for sooooo long. they really just want to broadcast Americans in events. There's a reason why Americans along the Canadian border preferred watching CBC coverage.

"EXCLUSIVE: Congressman Tim Burchett says he wouldn't know Bad Bunny if the rapper walked up to him and asked to borrow his cell phone ... and the only bad bunny he knows is his pet rabbit, who had sex on Christmas morning in front of his nephew."
You gotta understand, Jeff. THIS is what passes for humor on the Right. Move-over, Dorothy Parker. Bend-over, Bennett Cerf.
Bennett Cerf. there's a deep cut
A friend whose book was reprinted with a missing page is rushing to get corrected copies out and compared it to the Dag Hammarskjöld stamp.
I laughed and asked how many people would actually GET that reference?
I had to look it up.
I was collecting 4 & 5 cent stamps back then.
"A friend whose book was reprinted with a missing page is rushing to get corrected copies out and compared it to the Dag Hammarskjöld stamp.
"I laughed and asked how many people would actually GET that reference?"
Omygods!
I got that reference! I read your comment and I chuckled, sensibly, then I stopped myself.
I'm not sure whether to be happy or terrified now.
I know Bennett Cerf from "What's My Line?"
I had Bennett Cerf's book of elephant jokes when I was in elementary school.
When I worked at Random House, I was given a copy of Cerf's autobiography, "At Random". Everyone there got one. Whenever somebody left, it was usually left behind. A colleague moved into an office that had four or five of them from previous occupants. I did enjoy his limericks.
Blast from the waaaaay past!
I was thinking the same thing Jeff; I remember reading him but not in what format...
"Bennett Cerf. there's a deep cut"
Robert Benchley?
George S. Kaufman?
Alexander Wolcott?
Funnier than Gutfeld. I know, that's a really low bar.
Adored Bennett Cerf and everything about his world.
Brilliant. Sadly true as well.
Bunny sex is very, very short lived. I'm sure that the nephew wasn't traumatized. He's probably watched his relatives have sex with each other for years.
A cousin raised rabbits for a while. He described their mating as, "The male mounts the female and humps furiously for maybe 15 seconds, then keels over unconscious and sleeps for a minute before jumping up and looking around for the female," he would always add, "It was a lot like the '70s".
"It was a lot like the '70s".
Hysterical!!!!!! I can confirm. I was there. Lol!
🤣🤣🤣
It was a lot like my first marriage!. ==throwing head back, laughing like Phyllis Diller. Taking a drag of my cigarette ==
😂
as long as those relatives aren't having sex with the nephew . . . not that I'd put it past 'em
Woah!
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
HAHAHAHA…good one, Arne!!
OMG. I just spit coffee. Hilarious!
Welcome to the world of Tennessee politicians. 🙄
But with all the Dems over-performing in the Ruby Red South, there is some hope for Shawn Harris - the former Brigadier General trying to win MTG’s former district. The special election is March 3rd. Watch this space! Superlative job on JD Couchfucker, Jeff! Even the rethuglicans detest him! He’ll be a magnificent candidate for them in 2028, if he doesn’t catch some awful STD from a promiscuous couch…
vance danger comes from thiel, et al, buying the Presidency like he bought vance's Ohio Senate seat. After what happened in 2024, never underestimate the stupidity of the American electorate. Especially when big tech money (Beware AI) is backing him.
I never discount their influence. One of the raft of Constitutional Amendments we need is one overturning Citizens United. I, personally am in favor of limiting all citizen campaign donations to $250/race and all corporate donations to $0.00. I would also ban PACs.
Agree 100% And none of this bullshit running two years before an election. Other countries do it in what, 6 weeks?
Yes they do. That has a lot to do with high numbers of the apolitical in this country. Australia has mandatory voting. Sounds good to me.
Especially the contrarian douche-bros, who would vote for his stained couch, if it had an "R" in its description, and they were told it would "own the libs".
That’s exactly right.
Vance fucks couches. Thiel fucks men. None of them give a red rat’s ass about the natural law.
I've seen a comment - I don't remember where - that referred to him as:
JDivanVance
I like it!
That’s the first time I ever heard the widow called a promiscuous couch, but it has a nice ring to it
Ahhh
I wouldn't recognize any of his songs and have no intention of watching the halftime show or, indeed, any of the game.
I will be following the news accounts, though. And will vicariously cheer Bad Bunny on. (Couldn't care less who wins the game, and I live in the Boston area.)
same, except location
I’ll tune in for Bad Bunny to show support.
You know, I gave up watching sports cold turkey in 2016 after calculating that I had spent -- quite literally and +/- one month -- *8 years and 4 months* of my life to that point parked in front of a TV watching football, baseball, soccer, etc.

oh but Green Day! and Billie Joe Armstrong will sing "American Idiot" which got made into a musical, which he wrote about Bush, but still relevant today. Still gets my blood pumping. He's got that punk energy.
I strongly recommend giving "Ojitos Lindos", which he performs with Bomba Estereo, a listen.
Same. I still listen to classic rock. I think the only musician I knew at the Grammy's was Lady GaGa and haven't watched it in years, but I have heard of Bad Bunny, saw the clip of his speech and applauded him for it. I'm going to youtube to hear him now, especially because they are all so TWISTED over it!! It's like Madonna in the 80s.
Tim Burchett worries about his rabbit, but doesn't worry about the epstein files his nephew will eventually see?
Pence had a pet rabbit too. They are a pretty, but boring pet. It suits them.
Who is Tim Burchett?
And how is this a "TMZ Exclusive?"
Jebus Fuck! Please tell me there are more of us than those dumbfucks.
So I'm guessing the nephew had questions and Timmy got embarrassed.
Who even knows who Tim Burchett is anyway. Superbowl half time is going to be the show of the year. I hope the crowd chants FUCK ICE like they did at the wrestling match.
I laughed till I had tears in my eyes.
compared to a greasy, sweaty 55 year old man who calls himself "Kidd" who dresses like a slob who has won no grammys and has been arrested at least 4 times... yeah, that is their type of entertainer
And sings about being a pimp, and boning underage girls...yep checks out.
And I wouldn’t know 90% of the Country singers, so what is his point??
I wouldn't know 99% of them, deliberately. My best friend spent 20 minutes explaining who "Jelly Roll" was, evidently he ate his nasal contents on camera, while sitting behind trump at some sports-thing. She told me to see the video, but I declined, she now only refers to him as "booger"
Wut
These people are WEIRD.
Yes, at first I thought he was saying he was humping the rabbit, and his nephew walked in.
That's probably more than likely.
Trying to be cute and roundabout insinuation that Bad Bunny the artist is a sexual deviant, like his “pet rabbit.” Clown ass pieces of shit.
Which to them, means anyway having other than procreative sex, in the dark, in missionary position. Good news folks! We are ALL deviants!
No one cares Tim Burchett.
Who tf is Tim Burchett?
Caramel wut?
It has to be a record for the different kinds of places Jizzy Divan gets booed at. He's more loathsome than a staph infection.
I would boo him on a plane
I would boo him on a train
This man is a human bedpan
I do not like Jizzy Divan.
You go, Seth!
When public opinion is STRONG, Trump knows he has to back down. It's time to call Congress (202 224 3121) and the White House (202 456 1414) about ICE reform. The next 10 days are critical. Read about the 10 Democratic proposals to curb ICE.

Yeah, and let HIM perform at the Super Bowl.
I read that as Brad Dangle.

I bet it's a hell of a lot more than one or two million dollars! Bringing all those vehicles and his special food, plus the massive security detail he brought along, was probably in the tens of millions.
I was referring only to the cost of the planes (flying the planes plus the aircrew)
That’s the piece I know $$ wise but yes I’m sure it was more with the other things
Yeah, but we only get two dolls.
But we DO get five pencils. Don't forget that.
I don't sharpen my five pencils all at once. Just in case...
Bahahaha ok that made me audibly laugh out loud! Good one!
Did he bring his own pasta? Probably difficult to find in Milan.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They’re burning the treasury to the ground along with our country
They've already raided the treasury...we will have NOTHING if they leave power...The gold is next...mark my words
his own special food ??? is he afraid of "foreign food" ?
He took Peter Thiel protein shakes
That is how he got there, after all. And no one can convince me otherwise.
Good one!
Yeah. Those honkin' huge planes are tens of thousands of dollars PER HOUR to fly.
I thought 'who would bring their own food to Italy?' - you're right, someone who's afraid of being poisoned!
My thoughts exactly.
His ego is fatter than his puffy cabbage patch kid face
Cabbage Patch! That's exactly it! I knew his face reminded me of something.
Robbing the treasury and tax payers blind.
Brought his own vehicles??? That's flushing our money right down the toilet. Did he bring his own ICE team? Did they participate in the Olympics? Their specialty being blatant street shooting of Americans.
He did have his own ICE team, part of the advance party. The Italians were pissed, too, and the US had to promise they wouldn't leave the consulate.
I knew he was thinking about it; didn't know he actually did it. What a lowlife. I get pissed off every time I think about him. Guess I shouldn't think about him anymore. Thanx for the info. I think.
"He probably is scared to death that someone is going to poison his food."

I some Italian city I've forgotten I saw a scooter rider repeatedly kick a Fiat as he drove alongside. That was something I had never seen before.
Can’t say I have either, they are so macho I’m not surprised, though. Here they would just get shot. My spouse explained you can tell the driving style by which side has dents. And watch out for the dents on both-sides driver.
Yes , he learned from Uncle Vladimir : never eat foreigner food with out my food taster eating first .
the Secret Service hauls a lot of shit.
Because ripping off the tax-payer is the reason they draw breath.
I remember Bernie Sanders showing up in a Subaru Outback for a rally in Seattle years ago and I thought "That dude is cool!" No fanfare, no motorcade, just Bernie being driven to the rally by a regular person. These public officials who feel the need to draw so much attention to themselves are pathetic losers.

Bernie is legendary for being unfriendly and rude. The Vermont press has written about it extensively (I've read the articles), but for some reason, this never broke out of Vermont.
And notoriously difficult to work with, according to other reps he's not big on actual work, but takes most of the credit.
How refreshing that a politician doesn't have stupid fake smile on his face.
I don't find his misanthropy and misogyny "refreshing" at all, especially when women get excoriated for not smiling enough. I'm still furious at how the media raked Amy Klobuchar over the coals for allegedly being a little rude to her staff — something Bernie has been known for in Vermont for decades.
When guys do it it is okay, though. /s But what do I know, I'm just an "Identity politics voter."
Cornell West is super gregarious. I like him because my son and his friends recognized him at a diner, had a nice chat, then let him finish his lunch, and when they called for their check, Brother Cornell had covered it! He bought my kid lunch, so he can say whatever he wants.
1. VP Couchfucker brought his own food because somewhere deep in his psyche he knows people would spit in it
2. A federal judge put a kibosh on Prez Fuckwit’s kibosh of the Gateway Tunnel funds.
He'd be LUCKY if spit was all they did.
Yep. Think The Help.
"Hey, Usha, taste this pie. Just like momma used to make."
😆
I was thinking of White Lotus season one episode six where the hotel manager takes a shit in some guy’s suitcase. On top of the clothes I might add.
Oh, no! That is funny. It does remind us to be kind to those who serve.
Yeah she is as much of stuck up phoney as he is. She'll be smiling less when trades her in for a "white" wife. He has too much ambition and he is too unlikable to see she's a liability.
That's probably why she is breeding again at her age. Gotta hang on to the man.
Yes, it does reek of that, he's probably hoping she dies in childbirth with all the anti abortion laws his team helped pass, that's more likely than when women could get proper healthcare, without some dimwit Evangelistic bunch making harmful laws about what care can be given.
Then he will marry the widow Kirk's money, and dump Peter Thiel for good. His jaw is probably getting tired by now.
Indeed. Shades of Newt ("Husband of the Year") Gingrich.
He’s used to Peter Thiel’s Jiz and vice versa
The problem is that they will find a compliant judge who accepts bribes. It happened recently with the proposed building of detention centers, aka Concentration Camps. There is a real story there, prisons for profit. Private prisons are an abomination and must be stopped if we win back our country.
There is nothing worse in the world than for-profit prisons except the people who own them. They should be illegal.
Healthcare for profit is pretty bad, too.
"Cash for Kids" was a big scandal here in NEPA. There are still some people serving sentences years later for sending kids to prison in exchange for $$$
👆🎯
Agreed. Profiteering is really what it is.
A kind of "build it and they will come" thing. That's why everyone is being rounded up, to feed the beast and get the money from our government. Who funds our government, you ask? You do. I do. All the little people do.
I miss the good old days when a president’s name could only be affixed to a building posthumously.
Dems need to promise T💩p (with fingers crossed) that as soon as he is in the ground they will make the name changes but not do it.
Best comment I saw is that they should rename Riker's Island (where there's a notorious jail) as Trump-Epstein Island.
yeah, I like that idea!!
And put every piece of shit in the files there!
In which case I’m strongly in favor of naming the Staten Island Landfill the Donald J. Trump Memorial Landfill - and the sooner the better
lol !!
It’s just good taste. But posthumous can’t come soon enough.
Doggone glad you didn’t go with the rX scamathon. Vance is always worthy to receive those buckets of dung we’ve hauled up onto the rooftops. Plop plop fizz fizz and go fuck a couch. Fucking faux-billy. Go fuck a couch, McGee.
it's an important story, the RX scam, but it's better handled by someone who isn't trying to write something entertaining
The sheer volume of these scams is overwhelming. As soon as we hear about one it’s old news. If there’s an area of human activity where he thinks he can dip his beak, the beak gets dipped. Healthcare in this country is nuts. At every level except in the hearts and hands and consciences of so many physicians and nurses, EMTs and pharmacists… and the rage is building again. I gotta take a walk (and leave my phone).
Look at the nursing strikes. I work in a hospital and I support them 1000%. The issues are the same everywhere. Doesn't matter what state you work in. Nurse Blake is an RN comedian that we all love. He does comedy tours all over the country. But he's a serious supporter of nurses and our issues. He calls admin out all the time. You can find him on Facebook and probably other social media. Really a super person.
Thank you. He is truly low-key funny.
How about the one that goes...money is being taken out of the military coffers to build concentration camps that hold 8000+ people? Don't blink. Keep your eyes wide open and defiance till death.
It must be terribly hard to find something entertaining during these troubled times. The only thing that gives me hope is that Democratic candidates are performing so well. America is tired of this lawless and evil regime.
Absolutely agree!!
Im getting annoyed because the only social media I read is bluesky. Recently I've been reading posts saying we have to stop voting for Democrats until they run candidates who are truly far left and want real change. And the Democrats running now are just as bad Republicans.
These posts are clearly from paid right wing hack who want to split the Democratic vote in the midterm.
Has anyone seen similar posts?
They'll be ramping up soon, excoriate them as a public service, please. Tell them they are the shits that gave us trump.
Yep, expect the Russian paid, and Nigerian bots to start swarming soon. "BOTH SIDES!"
Pointing out what a nothing burger TrumpRx is isn’t all that funny. The Shillbilly getting the attention he deserves is much better for a laugh.
I’m sure it involves some quid pro quo in order to get your medicine.
it's like ten levels of grift. Cokey McSniffles Jr. sits on the board of one of the drug companies that are part of this 'plan'
Yikes , but not at all surprising . Totally predictable in fact .
😱
I really don't care to let Donnie Demento and President Nosferatu Miller have direct control over whether or not they'll allow me my prescriptions.
Probably selling expired or close to expired lots of meds
Probably selling sugar pills.
Snake oil.Or the homeopathy scam. one drop of whatever and the rest water.
Dammit, I was looking forward to me 800% discount.
Check out today's Doonesbury.

hahaha!!
I no longer feel bad for anyone scammed by him. FAFO.
876 confirmed cases of measles in South Carolina as of two days ago. What do you say to that RFK Junior?
Thom Hartmann covered it yesterday, so no worries:

I figured.
trumprx, the gummint coupon-clipper website?
How can it be a scam when the drug companies will pay you 10, 20, 100x more than what the drug is worth? Doesn’t trump just make it sound so amazing with his alternative math? I haven’t seen any posts from maga praising trump rx because of the deep discounts he keeps talking about but I would love to see them putting their IQ < 60 on display.
Ryan McCormick, M.D. has a good writeup about it on his Substack posted yesterday. It's a scam all right.
Brought his own food because he fears the people of Europe, who see his resemblance to historic evil in their past, might just take things into their own hands. No way the entitled dictator-in-waiting could ever casually walk the streets of Milan. A small consolation for the rest of us, I suppose.
Imagine being hated and fearing for your life so much you have to FLY 14 vehicles, food, chefs to another country to prevent from being harmed. Stay home buddy.
Imagine being so grandiose and narcissistic that you have to bring 14 plans, and multiple armored vehicles which almost hold up an olympian skater from making it to her event. While he has stiff competition for the most loathed person in the GOP, he comes close to the top.
I just wish that the boos for Vance had been louder. How dare they waste our hard earned tax money on their Imperial appearance. May they all rot in Hell, or preferably jail.
Waiting for them to slash Medicare and privatize Social Security because they're running out of money for these programs. They kicked off 2025 with DOGE killing Agency for International Development funding to feed starving kids peanut butter paste. Waste and fraud. America has been getting a golden shower from Trump since 2016.
they'll lie to everyone
& fuck over anyone who doesn't both give Donald money and vote for him
Maybe we should all refuse to pay taxes this year?
THAT’S what I thought!! We should ALL refuse to pay our taxes. What are they gonna do about it? They can’t jail us all.
Being dumbfounded by idea of bringing your own food to Italy, I had to read the link, and this part jumped out at me:
"After completing his visit to Italy, JD Vance is expected to travel to Armenia and Azerbaijan. According to official US sources, he has been tasked by President Donald Trump with advancing an agreement aimed at ending the long-standing conflict between the two countries, which has lasted for nearly four decades."
Wasn't this one of the many wars instantly ENDED by trump (sometimes referring to Albania instead)
Come on land mine, I'm rooting for you.
Kristi Noem is an out-and-out Nazi
For our country she's never done squat, see?
She’s loathsome, disgusting
For power she’s lusting
She’d even kill Fonzie and Pottsie!
Her cheeks filled with ten pounds of filler,
She says, “I’m a Latin blood spiller!
This ain’t a game,
Eva Braun’s my new name!
A sexual wasteland, joy killer!”
Well done!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks again, Susie!
👏👏👏👏
A super duper double-dipper for Frosty! Great one!
I live about a 15 minute walk from the vice president’s residence. Gore and Biden were great neighbors as were Kamala and Doug. Pence avoided the neighborhood and Cheney made the mistake of walking into the Blockbuster (boy I’m old but he’s dead…) and was booed out so we never saw him again. Then the CF moved in and decided that motorcading up Wisconsin Ave (main road behind the VP’s house) several times a week was a good idea. Or maybe not. People would come out of stores, bars, restaurants, etc…to flip him off and shout FUCK YOU. Even the dogs barked at him. Babies in their strollers would wail. After a couple months of fucking with us and our traffic, he stopped. I think now he just Marine Twos his way around town. (We stand in the streets and flip off the helicopter, too.)
This is some protesting I can happily support! Well played, neighbor of vice presidents!!! 🤣👏🏻👏🏻🤣
Imagine getting a free trip to Italy, all expense paid by US taxpayers--the land whose cuisine has been deemed a world treasure.........and you bring your own food. How much of an utter hick is he?
Although, yes: I would expect (expectorate?) a saliva shortage on the line in the restaurant kitchens.
I'm surprised that JustA Dick didn't also pack his own food taster, a la Putin.
Um, that's why he brought Usha along.
Funny!
Yup since he covets the widow Kirk's money, Usha is now expendable.
FOURTEEN PLANES!!! For that worthless POS?
I hate that our taxes pay for this lunacy.
I'm sure he had to bring his own collard greens and rabbit stew because someone would spit in his plate in Italy. They're not stupid.
I hate it here.
*Pats your hand in sympathy*.
Has anyone asked NBC why American viewers didn't hear the booing?
i heard it on some nbc broadcast; well youtube i guess
here's the thing. NBC has been a shameless homer for sooooo long. they really just want to broadcast Americans in events. There's a reason why Americans along the Canadian border preferred watching CBC coverage.
Their cowardice makes it easier to deny that it happened.
Yes, that really pisses me off.
And how much did Vance’s clusterfuck Italian vacation set the American taxpayers back⁉️ DOGE, wanna weigh in here? Musk? Anybody?
