today in "shit that happened while I was busy writing this shit" — Donny gave his speech at Davos. sounds like it was a shit-show.

here's an excerpt

"Without us, right now you'd all be speaking German and a little Japanese perhaps. After the war, we gave Greenland back to Denmark. How stupid were we to do that? But we did it. But how ungrateful are they now?"

oy gevalt.

Everything Trump says or does is a shit show. It’s hard to avoid all the crap.

The betting markets need to offer a line on which will occur first, tRump drops a big one in public, or tRump drops the *other* big one - ON the public

Linda Weide's avatar

I was saying betting markets need to take bets on how long he will talk. He is going for the Joe Rogan record in some of his talks, otherwise known as babbles.

Wish Jeff would show Baby crying over Greenland meme again.

DJ Headthrob's avatar

The fact that the senile imbecile has the nuclear codes causes me no end of agita.

Linda Weide's avatar

I am not losing sleep over it. It is too far out of our control right now. He is more likely to stealth attack Greenland after saying, "nah, I won't do that." or a friend says stealth attack Iran is planned. My head is spinning enough from the speculation of either of these.

Here are 3 I just processed on the Greenland attack situation

In none of these do the people of the US benefit. All of them spell out dire scenarios for US citizens. That is not counting that US citizens who live abroad, who are not dual citizens, are potentially going to be considered enemy aliens, and subject to expulsion, having their property taken, being rounded up and surveilled, etc...

Remember how Trump went into Venezuela and did not warn any US citizens living there ahead of time. Next thing they know they are told by the State Dept to get out stealthily because there are bands of Colectivos who are seeking to harm US citizens or anyone that they think helped the US to attack their country. So, it is not a good situation for those living in the US with bands of ICE attacking and in some cases killing US citizens and immigrants; and it is not a good time for US citizens living outside of the US in NATO allied countries. And, it is not a good time for Venezuelans who still have the same shitty ass government that they had, plus Trump stealing their oil and pocketing the money into his account in Qatar. And, it is not a good time for Greenlanders who are looking at being another set of brown skinned people whose land White Supremacist Trump invades.

Charles Austin's avatar

At least Rogan has being stoned as an excuse.😂

Linda Weide's avatar

Trump is stoned too. Stoned on kedamine, and who knows what else they had to pump into him to get him through a whole talk at DAVOS without nodding off. He is stoned on the secrets he shares with Epstein which are too horrid for us to know, and what I suspected was voiced out loud by a substacker that someone posted in a chat.

Bob Bowden's avatar

Someone needs to get one of those giant spring loaded paper clips over to Orange Shitler’s urologist, pronto

DuduLovesBubu's avatar

Methinks those giant spring loaded paper clips have been used on slave donnie's nipples by Master Vlad. With Master saying react to the pain slave, and I'll squeeze those clips so fucking hard you'll be screaming in pain. And now the whole world says, yes Master.

Linda Weide's avatar

You know after reading insinuations that Trump possibly participated in a snuff film with a 12 year old Latina named Maria while acting out vicious ICE on illegal fantasies, on Greg Olear's Substack, I cannot laugh about torture. It is bringing back the images I have from someone posting that in the comments yesterday.

Prima Sarcastica's avatar

I don't know that binder clips are spring loaded, but I do know you can make sculptures using them. Google it. NOT that I'm saying you SHOULD make sculptures out of them and mail them to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, DC 20500, but if you WANTED to....

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

Methinks a regular sized binder clip might do? Stormy WAS quite explicit ;) The giant-sized one could fit his neckgina? He looked as though he'd never seen one before. Downright hilarious - all the work 'someone' put in to gather his purported '365 accomplishments' and he tossed it on the floor. I thought - at least they'd have ONE page with some coloured tabs so he could read from it - but no. It all went fuckity-bye. His big, orange pumpkin head also seemed to be shrinking down into his shoulders the more he blathered.

DebJS's avatar

Millions of people crying with relief, then dancing with joy! If only it was a nightmare we could wake up from and have everything back to normal in the morning!

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

From your mouth to the Universe's ears. However, when 'it' happens and he joins his fellow potatoes in the deep dark, and after the glee and dancing in the streets has ebbed a wee bit, WE will sorely need to ensure that 1)Heritage Foundation 2) goebbels/miller 3)thiel 4) vance 5) every single one of the 'aides and accomplices/wanna-be's' are run out of town on a rail, along with their now mask-LESS 'ice'/'border patrol' assholes. Our REGULAR police need to immediately change their policies and practices - SIGN agreements that THEY will never allow any American City or State to be invaded/taken over/ controlled by pseudo-'law enforcement' like this ever again. ONLY our official Law Enforcement who are trained properly AND with full knowledge of our Constitutional rights get to stop or even talk to those on the street. NO military gets sent into our Cities/States, even IF vance ends up stepping into frump's shoes as our Constitution requires (or until HE gets tossed out as well). We do a 'special election' with full knowledge and involvement of the SCOTUS - who must sign agreements that their private lives are to be under scrutiny. If they don't, they're out. Oh, and each of the three so-called 'liberal' Scotus women get TWO votes each until we're back to 'normal' or we redo SCOTUS to 13 members. I'd suggest One of those three as Chief Justice if Roberts is too scared to handle the job. SCOTUS has been 13 before - that would be nothing new. WE the People get to decide when or IF Congress gets another raise in pay - probably not for a good long while since they just gave themselves one AND Dominionist 'christian' Johnson is OUT as Speaker of the House. NO religious fanatic gets to control any major role, especially that one. IF you choose to believe in a religion, that's perfectly fine - but you can NOT impose it on the rest of us. Check your Constitution, not your bible. EVERY PENNY pf the 'gifts' handed out to the frumps is to be returned or sold and put back into the coffers of the US Treasury. This could be a good start.

HI2thDoc's avatar

He created NATO before he turned 3 years old!!! Like no one has ever seen before!

Irascible Ink's avatar

Big, strong NATO with tears in its vowels!

HI2thDoc's avatar

Betcha up until he was preznit he didn't even know what NATO was, or what the acronym stood for.

Wendy Mills's avatar

He still doesn't know what it stands for, guaranteed.

Bonnie Council's avatar

He doesn't care. All he knows is it's something he wants us to not be a part of. An explanation for which we've never received.

HI2thDoc's avatar

Prolly true! He's such a fucking creep it sounds plausible

Molly Blue Dawn's avatar

It's very difficult to be a 10. Maybe a 6, 7.

Donna M Hebdo's avatar

I bet he STILL DOESN'T!!

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

Betcha he doesn't know what an 'acronym' is either. No. 2 on the questions to ask (after 'what the fuck is wrong with you).

ynot1965's avatar

And he hasn’t aged since.

UNFAIR! - to three year olds. ;)

Jane's avatar

Without me there wouldn’t be a world!

Tess's avatar

It was definitely a shit show!

Joanne Rossmassler Fritz's avatar

We never had Greenland so we couldn’t give it back. He lies constantly and the press swallows it whole. No one said “What the fuck is wrong with you?” To my utter disappointment.

rlritt's avatar

Its not that he lies, its that he doesnt know any facts. He is incredibly stupid and uneducated. Im sure he passed every grade in school thru college because his father gave a huge donations to pass him. The teachers were probably only to happy to pass him on to some other poor sap.

Keith's avatar

and he constantly lies ... he is a closet bitch

big brave school yard bully that shits his pants! HA FUK'IN HA!

PlasticFish's avatar

He makes the noises he thinks will get people to go along with him.

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

He's been a coward for his entire life. ALL bullies are cowards and if they have money (or their daddies do), they can buy other bullies to commit their thuggery for them. He's the perfect example of this: a chickenshit who hires thuggish fools who're poor to first beat up kids in school and later on in life commit real crimes for him. It's similar to a 'mob boss' but real mob bosses usually have a modicum of intelligence with which to run their organizations. This orange one doesn't. It's all to do with paying off his goons - and of course taking credit for being 'tough' when he IS, in fact - a scared little bitch (and I mean that only in the language of dogs and wolves) .He fakes being the 'alpha male' but has never gotten close. How do others not see this - it's SO obvious?

rlritt's avatar

Yes, Im sure his father paid for his grades. I taught school for a short time, and if some parent offered me $1,000 to pass him, I'd do it.

Grace Kennedy's avatar

Yes, plus he lies even when he doesn’t have to.

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

Yup! The lies are built-in, part of who he is. With every lie he builds on: the amount, the size, the accomplishment, his height, weight - whatever fits. It can never be 'enough' for this kkklown. Someone hasn't yet explained to him that videos exist and STILL exist and WILL exist even after they've been run on his 'teevee'. I wonder if he thinks they just 'end' when the show ends (as in the old days when Prime Time was 8 - 10P.M). and then they go fuckity-bye, never to be seen again? ;)

Bonnie Council's avatar

He paid other students to do all his homework; read that somewhere years ago.

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

Bonnie - read yours after posting mine beneath - apologies. Sometimes I'm catching up a couple of days after (my vision issues/migraines get in the way). You're dead on. I seriously wonder if he can even read - so faked it by having others do his work for him in school but would never admit to having 'flaws'.

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

He DID pay some other kid to take his SAT'S for him, so he could graduate. THEN after a couple of years (I believe at community college? which is why no one has EVER seen ANY of his transcripts while he gets to insult other far more intelligent people with impunity!) his older brother prevailed upon his own alumnus status to get him a transfer over to Wharton, but it was a hard sell from my understanding and came with a donation too (of course). THAT is where the Professor stated that he 'was the dumbest student I ever had'. AND he claims constantly that he has 'a prestige Wharton Education'. My azz he does, lol. That poor school - damned if they do, damned if they don't.

Ellyn's avatar

I’m having a particularly stupid day & watched the entire Davos speech. I’m glad it’s winter in VT and there are no flying bugs in the house as I found myself unable to close my mouth. The fact that that many representatives of the world politely sat there silent for 90 minutes + and let him spew a firehose of the most batshit crazy LIES you will ever hear in one speech.

I may need psychedelics to get this trauma out of my brain, much less my soul…

When I turned off Mr tv, I sent a heartfelt plea to the universe to help the Europeans fire that Trade Bazooka straight up his ass. 🙏🏻🤞🙏🏻🤞🙏🏻

Yes, I KNOW we Americans are going to be the ones economically devastated, but it’s got to be better than letting the toddler god-king roam free.

He also repeatedly referred to Iceland rather than Greenland. Repeatedly.

Bonnie Council's avatar

It's called dementia. One thing people who haven't lived with a relative with dementia don't seem to understand is how rapidly it progresses once the symptoms really become obvious. He is in full blown dementia now, and why we can't have him removed from office is beyond me. I almost don't want find out each day what happened overnight. There is no telling anymore with this man & all the "yes" people under him.

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

Because it's goebells/miller running the shit-show and that little gestapo wanna-be fuehrer won't allow for it! He'll drag the rotting-away orange one out to the press or wherever and pull a 'Weekend at Bernie's' if he has to JUST to stay in power, that nasty little weasel. He could even have an earpiece where he dictates what frump has to say next. Isn't that a technological possibility?

Mary Hall's avatar

IIRC, his niece Mary Trump said T💩p paid someone to take his SATs.

HI2thDoc's avatar

Yeah, I read her book. She even named him, some kid with a very common name. Shapiro, I think.

insert_something_creative's avatar

And of course he's fucking wrong about Greenland too:

"Trump just told Davos: "after the war we gave Greenland back to Denmark."

America never had Greenland. It was governed — and defended — by the Danes and Greenlanders throughout WWII."

Someone (Putin, Miller?) probably told him that so he would lie about it just like he did.

Keith's avatar

but it does give one an opportunity to speak freely ...

FUK OFF PUNK!

Jackie's avatar

Any truth to the rumor he got a standing ovation?

Jenny Daly's avatar

Business Insider says the room was "eerily silent" through his long speech. It reported a lot of people leaving early and of those left, most were looking through their phones. It also said that at the end there was some polite clapping, many just got up and left, and about 1/3 of those still in the room gave a "polite" standing ovation.

Carney got a lot of positive press yesterday and a large loud and long standing ovation (which at the WEF is rare). It must have really pissed off Trump. He was even more demeaning to Carney than usual.

rlritt's avatar

It probably wasn't standing ovation, just people in a hurry to leave the room. From what I've read, my understanding is that Trump has terrible gastric problems

CreakyKnees's avatar

That's why he brought the large entourage with him from D.C. Half of the audience were his cabinet.

Ellyn's avatar

I don’t recall that- but I turned it off at the stupid question & really stupid answer part.

serenity's avatar

He also attacked Mark Carney for Carney's remarks and said that Canada was insufficiently grateful.

Ellyn's avatar

Apparently because “Canada wouldn’t survive without America”.

What a useless fucking prick.

Bonnie Council's avatar

Everyone is "insufficiently grateful" in his sick brain. Probably even all those girls Epstein introduced to him. They should be grateful for something, I'm sure.

DebJS's avatar

Ugh. Very likely with his pompous high opinion of himself.

Linda Weide's avatar

Saw the speech. Or most of it. Some of the time he was talking and I was reading my emails. So his face was covered. My colleagues and I used to do that when we had zoom meetings to block the face of our most misogynist colleague who felt women should do all the work and be quiet. Of course he married someone many, many years younger.

Denmark's telling Trump to fuck right off, eight European countries are staring down 10% tariffs (jumping to 25% by June) because they won't support this colonial wet dream, and NATO—the alliance that's kept Europe stable for 75 years—is watching its cornerstone crack under the weight of one man's ego. Meanwhile, thousands of Greenlanders march through Nuuk in the bitter cold, holding signs that read "Greenland is not for sale," while this bloated toddler tweets AI-generated images of himself planting flags on their homeland. The cruelty is the goddamn point.

Nope. We've all been affected by toxic patriarchy, but those harmed most, more often than not, in my experience, have not perpetuated abuse.

If others follow suit of the AkademikerPension, U.S. borrowing costs jump because America has to pay higher interest to attract buyers, and that ripples into higher mortgage/loan rates for everyone. If it snowballs, it’s not just a financial hit—it’s allies signaling “we don’t trust U.S. stability anymore,” which weakens the dollar and shakes the world’s faith in Treasuries as the default safe haven.

Thank you Jeff.

And Anders Vistisen's speech being interrupted with a reminder that expletives are "against the rules" reminds me of a line in Apocalypse Now.

"We train young men to drop fire on people, but their commanders won't allow them to write 'fuck' on their airplanes because it's obscene!"

The corrupt deranged malignant narcissist pedophile Trump deserves a trip to The Hague, not civility. He is "dropping fire" in Venezuela, threatening Greenland, and his ICE thugs are killing, maiming, and kidnapping citizens and non-citizens in American cities.

Furthermore, Trump's Lee Zeldin and the EPA has recalculated the life of every American (whether you are wearing a red MAGA hat, a blue hat, or no hat whatsoever to be worth nothing.

So "Fuck off" to Trump, Vance, Kegsbreath, "Bribe me" Bondi, and Krusty Noem from Vistisen was completely appropriate -and I second it.

Oh, but congratulations to Elon Musk and Usha Vance on their announcement.

Why would he bring up Creedmore mental hospital in a public speech? He's showing us his nightmare. Trump's mind is like a broken screen door in Kansas banging in the wind before the tornado hits.

But how would Secret Service agents take care of him? Triple time pay? Special food so nobody poisons him?

Robin D's avatar

Hopefully, if we had a.Democratic President he would do EXACTLY what this lunatic did and remove HIS secret service protection like he did to so many others. If the Secret Service had any balls they would poison him themselves. I don't care about him or them. They have lost my respect for years. Many are as dirty as him and love him. Who cares about how he is taken care of? He has kids. Let them take care of him.

Sooz Hall's avatar

Ooohhh, I can envision *just* how Ivanka would take care of him… I’m thinking 60 grade sandpaper diapers and damp lemon-juice soaked pj’s on a big waterbed that’s 3/4 full of icy water and rotating back & forth, up and down, and sometimes just vibrates… feel free to embellish.

You had me at 60 grade sandpiper diapers and lemon juice drenched pjs. Pure agony. 🤗 😂

Donny may have dodged the draft, but he survived a war with a binder clip. But I think the thing that really struck me was how he just dropped the clip and the papers on the floor after he was done talking about them. I was trying to figure out what was going through his addled brain. Was he thinking that it was some poor schmuck’s job to pick up after him, or was he incapable of figuring out how to place them on the podium?

I'd pay for a Kickstarter which designed and produced a single giant gold-plated binder clip, embossed something like "Nobel Prize for Office-Supplies Victory," and presented to DT in a ceremony sponsored by The Onion.

I wager he doesn't know the Onion is parody. I wager he doesn't know what parody is.

John E Simpson's avatar

You'd probably win that bet -- not least, because he's never allowed to even glimpse parody or mockery in any form. (They learned that lesson from his previous term -- he spent way too much time obsessing over SNL's portrayals of his buffoonery, wardrobe, vocal mannerisms, etc.)

This type of egomaniac who cannot laugh at themselves like Steven Seagal are pathetic.

Seagal was the worst SNL host ever, but drumpf was a close second. I hope Lorne Michaels sees a pattern there

I noticed that the Davos organizers disinvited a representative from Iran because of the situation in Iran recently -- and I immediately wondered why they didn't disinvite DT too. Or hell, if they couldn't do so for some unfathomable reason, couldn't they at least have let him give his "press conference" in a small conference room with, like, bright lights and cardboard videocameras and so on, with a hired audience who would clap whenever the "APPLAUSE" sign lit up -- AND THE WHOLE THING WOULD NOT BE RECORDED FOR POSTERITY AND ENDLESSLY REPLAYED?

In spite of how unlikable Trump is, there were probably oligarchs and fascists there who supported him. Bezos, Theal, Musk, Zuckerberg and others have repeatedly kissed his ass.

There have been a LOT of Europeans and Canadians on Threads lately who are after Americans to Do Something about Trump and fix everything Right Now. But when you ask them what, they all say "general strike." Like that doesn't take planning and organization, especially in a country this large with pretty much zero labor and employment protections and federal agents who are willing to murder and disappear you. They love to tell us they know more about what's going on here than we do because their press is better, but then they're surprised to hear about things that people are doing on the ground.

In addition, when you tell them it would be really, really helpful if they got on *their* leaders to stop coddling Trump and to stop appeasing him and take a harder stance with him, even go so far as to wreck the American economy, they suddenly get mad and say it's not up to them to do our jobs for us. Even though they've been screaming about how much it affects them. I guess they either don't want to be uncomfortable, or they just see an opportunity to vent at a bunch of Americans and demand the monkeys dance for them.

They're also never happy when you point out that it took Europe well over 20 years and a whole-ass World War to remove its own fascists, so maybe they're not the ones to be giving out advice on how to stop fascism before it becomes entrenched. Just sayin'.

Although I understand why Newsom would criticize Europe in this moment, his criticism would be better directed at certain American corporations, media conglomerates, and universities. I also know it isn't as though he hasn't been critical earlier. But it might be helpful, while in Europe, to not criticize them for what almost everyone has done up to now! Plus, he could talk about how most Americans do not support Trump, and if Europe kicks his butt, we will gladly cheer them on. While Trump is burning bridges with Europe, the resistance shouldn't be burning them either.

John E Simpson's avatar

If I didn't live in the US, I might have a problem being told off for not cutting DT off at the knees... given that apparently no one HERE isn't gonna do it, either. So f*cking frustrating.

I heard Gavin say that we can't effectively say no to tRump at home due to his corrupt lackies in the House and Supremely fuct Court. Did I hear incorrectly?

John E Simpson's avatar

No, you heard right -- he did say that. But like I said, in their shoes I'd have thought his -- or any other American's -- lecturing them at all ("Don't bow to DT! Stand strong, Europe!") was a bit rich. Exhortation good; finger wagging bad.

I dunno, I'm probably splitting hairs.

Something good to note. The markets cannot be sane washed through the media. Money doesn't lie. And all of Donnie's dumbfuckery comes with reality based receipts.

The markets crashed yesterday from all his Fuckweit Fürhrer antics, saw some dropped by over 500 points.

The Danish Pension Fund is exiting securities by the end of this month. Money is going bye bye. And that means even Donnie in his fake gold plated tower and all his broligarchs are affected by that too. War costs money. And the rhetoric of destroying NATO starts the ball rolling without boots every stepping on the ground.

If EU and other countries take the same path as the Danish Pension Fund shit is going to get real very very fast. Money does make the world go round after all. And all the demented confabulation and truth social posts in the world cannot change THAT reality.
