yep that is a silly question in "this day and age"....but on a bright note, I think something will be done about her and the rest of these traitors during future administrations, if we live that long to see it
what exactly is 'this day and age' supposed to mean? this is the same shit the republicans have been doing ALL MY LIFE!
what other generation had AIR RAID DRILLS? bend over put head between legs and kiss your ass goodbye ... can you say CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS?
oh yeah what about the DRAFT? do the name VIETNAM ring a bell?
oh oh ohhhhhh .... how about the OIL EMBARGO? gasoline went from 35 cents a gallon to over $1.50 almost overnight. RATIONING 10 gal max fill up!
what did we do? scotched taped copies of mickey mouse giving the ayatollah the finger! how'd that work out?
ouh ouh ooouuuuhhhhh! 3 political assassinations 2 kennedys 1 king! ALL within 5 year span! and gobs of other earth-shaking bullshit! WATERGATE anyone?
PENTHOUSE SHOWS PUBIC HAIR! oh my! MEI LAI massacre!
this day and age ain't SHIT compared to what BOOMERS LIVED!
and who could forget TEAR DOWN THIS WALL!
RONNIE BOY didn't get 'er done the UNITED STATES drove the SOVIET UNION into bankruptcy! in perspective, donnie johnboy is but an inconvenience!
Yeah, but I’m a boomer, and I don’t remember the president ever being above the law. Not that they didn’t try. But at least there were three branches of government back then, which was kinda nice.
you must have some serious cognitive impairment, Keith. The phrase "this day and age" was used loosely as a mockery for those who over-use that terminology. Pop a xanax in your mouth , chill the fuck out, and quit trying to over-think everything for fucks sakes.
Reaching #2 on the NYT best-seller list, E. Jean Carroll’s NOT MY TYPE (2024) romps through language, civil litigation, and life without stinting on substance or wicked wit. Led by Roberta Kaplan, Trump was found civilly liable for sexual assault and defamation against Carroll. He has lost both appeals, so Mmes. Kaplan and Carroll have beaten Trump four times. He owes them $83.3 million.
Hopefully, we can finally hop off this merry-go-round with illegal U.S. Attorney appointments. This was a 3-0 Federal Appeals Court decision. What's great about it is that it sets a precedent for all the other illegal U.S. Attorney appointment hearings making their way through the system. Halligan will be out, the person in Nevada will be out, etc. Unless the Regime attempts another crooked scheme. Stay tuned.
That seems to be the going thing! Just as long as they are loyal,good asskissers ,corrupt,dumb as a rock ...they are in! Habba was the one who signed off the paperwork when the FBI searched MAR A LAGO & took his stash of classified docs. Problem is..she lied ..saying there are no other boxes. Knowing that NAUTA had moved more soemewhere else..
Being essentially a servant, Waltine Nauta got much less attention than other military sex pests. A Navy veteran, Nauta is a native of Guam, which his boss obviously believed was one of those countries nobody’s heard of. At one point he was unaware than Walt is a citizen.
The photo of Trump asleep in the dining room with guys looking in the window at him, the one Jeff showed Sunday, I saw in just one other substack. Has anyone seen it in other places?
Polly, I also have regular MRI's for a chronic health issue. Aren't they fun? You're put inside a claustrophobic tube where loud banging on metal pounds and bright lights roam over your body, the hard tray you're lying on judders while you are commanded to hold perfectly still - loudly, on speakers set to 11 so you can hear over the banging, until finally (for me, the average time is 25 minutes because they look at every inch of my spine and skull) it's over, and the tray slides out again.
My question is: after being through many MRI's, in many different hospitals and clinics, ALL of which were barely wide enough for me - How the Hell did they fit tRump in one???
Locally, and this is in the UK, very large patients sometimes have MRIs done at the zoo - they have an extra-large scanner for camels, hippos and the like. I imagine DJT could be squeezed in
OMG Theresa. My first reaction is to howl with laughter, but you must be right. I know here in the US I have heard they have to do something similar to weigh morbidly obese people..I mean 500+ pounds.Put them on an animal scale. I saw on TV once, someone who was almost 1000 pounds. It's a sickness and I am no one to laugh at them or judge. Demented Donnie I will make fun of all day long, but not them. I feel sorrow for them.
The National Zoo lies between the White House and Walter Reed! He coulda gone to the large exotic animal med facility there. If he had, I’d know, the Zoo’s a half-mile from my house.
I'm sorry MRIs are so hard on so many people. I nap through all of mine (bad back) with the aid of ear plugs and classical music. They roll me out and I say, "Already?"
I hurt my back, really badly. They couldn't do an MRI because I was so twitchy from the pain. After a week on steroids and Ultram (tramadol), I was so swacked out, I was able to lie still long enough.
Put on a face mask and blissed out in the machine. I imagined I was at at a Philip Glass concert, listening to atonal music.
You're a trooper and must not be claustrophobic like my friend who has had two of them. I know people who suffer with bad backs, but at least you know what you're having it for. I had to have (sorry if TMI) a breast MRI when my radiologist found something during my mammogram years ago. I thought I would faint. They gave me an IV of meds to calm me down...it was a Friday afternoon in the summer...and as soon as I started going through the machine it died, and I had to do it all over again that Monday. Thankfully I was ok.
I had a series of MRIs this year, and the best advice I received to deal with the super loud clanging sounds was to imagine that you were in an East German nightclub in the 1990s. It actually helped!
I'm sorry for your health issues Polly and Paula 🙏 I have a friend with serious liver problems who has had two of them and she thought she would faint from the noise and she is extremely claustrophobic. I went down the Mayo Clinic rabbit hole about MRIs and there are a few types of machines and one is a wider one for heavier people.
In addition, no MRI is described as perfect like a test score. And just to be clear, if his MRI was as perfect as the phone call that got him impeached, that MRI showed some serious problems.
Well, I’ve ordered MRIs on demented patients looking for brain abnormalities and they can forget why they had them. Preznit Fuckwit is not a good enough actor to fake this in front of all the docs saying he appears to be in major cognitive decline…
Its like being put headfirst in a 35 gallon barrel and having somebody going around the outside and banging on the sides with a hammer. Just my "been there" opinion!!
I just keep my eyes shut the entire time; one time I opened them and that metal tube is half an inch from my nose and I freaked out but got it together.
Once you've had one, at least you know what to expect. Deep breaths and eyes shut and of course, the ear plugs they give you.
They offered me music to listen to and I chose classical. The next time, I chose Led Zeppelin. I should have used earplugs! I love Zep, but the beats of the music didn't match the loud banging at all!
When he insisted that “nobody’s ever heard of magnets,” I learned that just as in my childhood, each Wooly Willy comes with his own magnet. I bought two original Willys for my grandchildren; now also available in handy pocket size!
Wooly Willies are pretty neat. I never used one but apparently they were fairly popular, and made not too far away from me (I wanna say in Smethport, PA?) And hey, I guess he must’ve deliberately forgotten those exist given the resemblance to his eldest failson’s beard.
Woolly Willy still comes with its magnet, I learned when I bought two of these boomer-era classics for my grandchildren. Even those who’re boycotting Amazon can look, if WW-naive.
I have had 2 MRIs. on my knees..L& R. I knew it was my knees..Donny probably had a brain scan...and the damn Machine came up empty..hollow..that's why he won't remember.
I had a full body MRI to make sure a small bit of cancer I had hadn't spread elsewhere. (It hadn't.) It took a long time. They give you that panic button and everything in case you freak out in there. I never used it. I was slid out of that thing and they asked if I was okay. "It took a while, but I was fine. My only complaint is the music in there sucks." (If you've never had an MRI, imagine being in a dumpster that is closed, and someone is rhythmically hitting the outside of it with a hammer. It's loud as hell in that thing, even with the earplugs they provide.)
Nah, that was over ten years ago, and over five since I finished all the check-ins and CT Scans and stuff. All is gooder. It was caught early. The fact that I remember it this far out tells you all you need to know. :)
My two-year-old should have explained to the painted man that a “perfect MRI” is a nice clear one the doctor can read, to see if his brain “tuber” is growing faster than the rest of him. It’s not supposed to (and didn’t).
He acted out on the other figures. The armed doctors reach for the skies. The pirates, cowboys, and native Americans didn’t take their pink medicine, so he’s afraid they’ll have to shoot them to address their otitis media. He received at least two sets of ear tubes, plus an adenoidectomy.
That reminds me of my 48-year-old at that age. And my four-year-old grandson. But not the medical procedures. My daughter loved the pink medicine. Thanks!
Yep. Same here. I actually had a brain MRI recently. You would have to be under deep, complete anaesthesia to not notice which body part was being scanned. Sheesh! Mine was fine, BTW.
As a survivor of two brain aneurysm ruptures, I’ve had many MRIs. You definitely know what it’s for! And that jackhammer sound is impossible to forget. If you’re the least bit claustrophobic, the whole experience is frightening.
🙏 I hope you are okay. I don't make fun of people's health issues. I've had an MRI and lots of other imaging and health issues and it is scary. I'm terrified of anything medical and my BP explodes with "white coat syndrome" I save all my jokes only for Demented Donnie and the rest of his repulsive regime. Be well.
I've had more MRIs than I can remember (brain, for MS; lower back, for shattered L4 & L5), & yeah, you KNOW what part of your body is being scanned....unless you're a fucking brain-dead moron who's lost all conscious awareness of your surroundings.
(And yeah, I nap during mine, too. Some classic '60s music, & I'm gone - but not so much that I CAN'T REMEMBER WHY I'M THERE.)
1. : “I have no idea. it was just an MRI. what part of the body? it wasn’t the brain” If you don’t know what body part but can say it wasn’t the brain, then it was the brain. 🙄
2. We know Markwayne Mullet is lying because anybody who can bankrupt six casinos doesn’t know how to calculate.
Reminds me of the story someone said about their MAGA relative who, when asked why she hated Obama so much all she could manage was "well it wasn't cuz he's black!"
Kegsbreath, Bondi, Noem, Trump, and Vance all belong in front of the International Court of Justice at The Hague for ordering and greenlighting of Human Rights abuses, the flaunting of International Law, the illegality of their actions and orders, and more. At present, aside from Putin and Netanyahu -they have declared all out war on democracy, justice, and equality.
Beyond being held criminally liable for their actions, their co-conspirators, accessories after the fact, and donor/supporters should be held to account through asset forfeiture. Just as some of Putin's oligarchs have had assets frozen and seized, so should those continuing to fund the Trump/Vance disorganized crime association.
True Polly -but no reason the next Administration is precluded from supporting the ICJ and the International Criminal Court -and there is no statute of limitations on war crimes.
I agree completely but don't see any way of it happening. The Democrats are just as vulnerable as the Republicans; for example drone strikes under Obama.
The main streams of both parties are solidly invested in American Exceptionalism
I'm not sure that's entirely correct. My reading is that although we don't "respect" the proceedings of the ICC Americans can still be prosecuted by that court. If found guilty those Americans will become "persona non grata" in the countries that respect that court's judgments. I don't remember the number but it's significant.
I think there's a legal technicality where Dumpy et al can be tried by the ICJ, but not the ICC. I was reading about it over the weekend but I couldn't tell you where I saw it.
Absolutely. Every oligarch who has paid Trump a bribe. Both his sons and son in law, Miller, et al should be held accountable. Even Bezos who bought the Washington Post to promote Trump.
"the flaunting of International Law": pet peeve. it's the FLOUTING (blatant disobedience) of international law; flaunting international law would mean boasting about how great our international law is.
S'ok Uncle Jeff. Some days I feel like I'm sitting in the forest of talking trees and getting pelted with apples. Can't see neither the trees nor the forest. I just know I don't like little green worms.
The Coast Guard has been searching for, and seizing, narcotics for years ~ without murdering anyone. Although now with Krusty at the helm, things could change.
My son is career USCG and in charge of security and weapons on his cutter. He has actually arrested drug smugglers and confiscated the evidence to be used in court. The usual protocol is to work with the smugglers to go further up the "food chain" to get info on the kingpin without acting like total murdering scofflaw amateur fkheads.
Nice of Pissdrunk Pete to honor our brave fighting men who destroy questionable Narcoterrorists who may or may not have been carrying enough drugs, IN FISHING BOATS, to addict some "300 million" citizens from miles above. Sounds like a fair fight.
Not only unacceptable--unnecessary. Intercept, board, and take into custody. But that, of course, assumes that the boats really were transporting drugs. The previous time there were survivors, they were plucked from the ocean--and promptly returned to their home countries. That wasn't........suspicious.................at all...............................
I guess if you bomb them to kingdom come you don't have enough leftover parts to identify the murder victims. How convenient. It seems to me that some effort should be made. Maybe I have slipped up on my intelligence gathering and there is ongoing ID happening. We're talking 40-plus (or is it 50-plus?) next-of-kin.
It's just ridiculous. Those little boats would have to refuel about 20 times to reach the US. Nobody would try to go from Nicaragua to Texas or Florida or anywhere in between in those dinky little things, and it's counting on extreme stupidity that anybody would believe it.
No idea who he pardoned? No idea where the MRI was on his body? Stick a fork in him.. he’s done.. “Just like that old locomotive rolling on down the tracks.. he’s gone, gone and he’s never coming back” Thank you for your attention to Mr. Drool Bucket Man.
The annual Medicare physical includes the mini-cog test for everyone. Score is 0-3. If you score 3 you are UNLIKELY to have (currently) dementia. Anything less than 3 indicates likely dementia. Note: likely and unlikely. Neither result is definitive. A score of 2 or less means further testing is needed. The fact that Twit had an MRI after the mini-cog tells me SOMETHING in his annual physical was not good. Oh, retired RN here who was the clinic nurse for one of the first free-standing neuroimaging centers in the world.
Nobody, in the history of MRIs has ever had one without knowing why—let alone which body part they’re scanning. They tell you when they prescribe it. They confirm it when you arrive for your appointment. They reconfirm before they roll you inside the tube. And then—and I know this is hard to believe—you actually receive the results of that scan. And the report contains actual details. Any radiologist that simply writes “perfect” is just dressed up as doctor for Halloween. So they need to release the fucking reports. Maybe in two weeks?
I kind f remember a law that a doctor that knows of a condition the prez has is a danger to the country the dr is supposed to share the knowledge, anybody know about that?
Or the clerk telling George Clooney's character in O Brother, Where Art Thou? that his Dapper Dan hair cream will take 2 weeks, along with another item he asked for, and George replies: well, ain't this place a geographical oddity - two weeks from anywhere!
Apparently, tRump also resides in a geographical oddity, perfect for a biological oddity.
Any possibility that he'd enlist his crack(ed) legal team to help Bibi avoid indictment and (well-deserved) jail time? Halligan and Habba to the rescue!
I presume to know what the MRI was for— they were looking to see Trump’s fecalith in the circle of Willis. This is a fancy pants “medicalese” to say “shithead”. Something you don’t need a MRI to know that Trump is one.
Ya know that’s the first question I had about that. Former pleasure boater, and then the a sea going boat was for fishing way out far from any land. Sold them after my husband passed. He was a Navy Veteran and grew up on the Delaware.
But they have choices in the Caribbean Aruba and Bonaire the Flamingos fly to Venezuela every night to sleep in the Orinoco River. They are not going to the US no way.
I would LOVE to see the TACO in orange from head to foot and behind bars where he belongs. (Slight edit - I wouldn’t “love to see him”. I honestly cannot stand to look at him, but you get my drift!!)
today in News That Broke While I Was Writing This Post: parking garage lawyer Alina Habba was ruled to have been illegally appointed US Attorney
She shouldn’t even be allowed to represent parking garages :D
She could do a toothpaste commercial! Next?
She might have to mud wrestle Lindsey Halligan for the spot.
Touché du jour Kay-EI!
Or the Lollypop Guild.😂😂
Another Wizard of Oz reference in this thread. Must be something in the air. 🌪
Nice.
I have silly question. Will anything actually be done about that?
Since Habba was illegally appointed, I wonder if the cases she prosecuted will be thrown out?
It creates a chaotic situation that has actual, real dollar costs to taxpayers. Letʻs not forget that all of this bullshit is being paid for by us.
I prefer paying for her to be thrown out than a lot of other bad uses Trump is putting our tax dollars to.
Including every drone/missile being launched at fishing boats
Every. Fucking. Day!
I thought they were and so was she! We need more info Jeff just shared a headline, will there be a congressional hearing if so OH BOY!
That's what should happen.
And yes, it's going to cost a few million to clean up the resulting mess.😡
Money finally under the tPLUMP regime, finally well spent.
yep that is a silly question in "this day and age"....but on a bright note, I think something will be done about her and the rest of these traitors during future administrations, if we live that long to see it
what exactly is 'this day and age' supposed to mean? this is the same shit the republicans have been doing ALL MY LIFE!

Nixon tried, but some people stood up and stopped him.
That’s because hadn’t come up with Project 1973.

piss off kunt!
fuck off you psycho-path
No because she's special and has blond hair.
Disbarred comes to mind. Maybe that.
I have another silly question, will anything be done about anything in this rabid, evil administration?
With Alina’s diamond “the size of a Ritz cracker,” as E. Jean says of her.
That's just fun fake news!
Reaching #2 on the NYT best-seller list, E. Jean Carroll’s NOT MY TYPE (2024) romps through language, civil litigation, and life without stinting on substance or wicked wit.

Hanging out at mara lardo in her swimsuit. Gross.
Alina hung out at the Bedminster pool, I know. MAL, I don’t know.

Balayage before Rocket Docket, pouted Lindsay H-a-double-L-I-G-A-N spells Halligan.
Let us hope there are more and more leaks too, so that people have some evidence to use when they go after all these crooks.
Here is a good discussion of the leaks we just had.

Roberta Kaplan’s deposition of Donald before the E. J. trials remain comedy gold. As he lost both appeals, the ladies have triumphed four times!
Walt *NAUTA BRAIN IN THAT LITTLE DIET-COKE FETCHING CHIMP’S HEAD* 🤡
Being essentially a servant, Waltine Nauta got much less attention than other military sex pests. A Navy veteran, Nauta is a native of Guam, which his boss obviously believed was one of those countries nobody’s heard of. At one point he was unaware than Walt is a citizen.
@ Ingrid- And there were NO consequences. That’s been the problem since tRump’s 1st term
Maga women--wake up! You're actually not in the I-can-do-whatever-I-want club
Hopefully this means that Rep. McIver's fakakta indictment is also going down the drain.
Unfortunately this also means probably that the scarification attack hoax lady's indictment is gone too.
But uncle jeff,
https://thistleandmoss.com/p/when-the-prolapsed-trump-bottom-falls-out
“Prolapsed” is a perfect word to describe any part of what soon will occupy that Cheung-sized ⚰️coffin.
The photo of Trump asleep in the dining room with guys looking in the window at him, the one Jeff showed Sunday, I saw in just one other substack. Has anyone seen it in other places?
No, and I can not seem to access it, would love to see it!
Speaking of dips— how did we in MO end up with warmonger Eric Schmidt and running Josh Hawley
How did you trade Claire McCasskill for Hawley??
Habba and Halligan, Attorneys at Pay’n’Park.
As she should have been. It should never have taken this long to be decided! She is a vile, grasping for money creature
🙏🤗
Sent me into a shocked stupor! 😁
hahaha thought of you right away!
I've had an MRI. there's no fucking way anyone could have one without knowing what was being examined
I have had quite a few MRIs for my MS- you definitely know what is being imaged.
Polly, I also have regular MRI's for a chronic health issue. Aren't they fun? You're put inside a claustrophobic tube where loud banging on metal pounds and bright lights roam over your body, the hard tray you're lying on judders while you are commanded to hold perfectly still - loudly, on speakers set to 11 so you can hear over the banging, until finally (for me, the average time is 25 minutes because they look at every inch of my spine and skull) it's over, and the tray slides out again.

😂
😂😂 Perfect!
Tell dopey don that’s where he’s going to the hippo mri! Lol
Double wide! 😂🤣😂
They do have extra large mri machines, even one that you sit upright in.
Ole, do you know where? I have bulging discs lots of them and I know hey are different than when laying down.
I had one at the University of Miami hospital. That was a number of years ago so I imagine there are many more in service around the country now.
Good Luck in finding one; it is a Major improvement over the horizontal tube!
All they needed to fit in there was his big pumpkin head……
I'm sorry MRIs are so hard on so many people. I nap through all of mine (bad back) with the aid of ear plugs and classical music. They roll me out and I say, "Already?"
I hurt my back, really badly. They couldn't do an MRI because I was so twitchy from the pain. After a week on steroids and Ultram (tramadol), I was so swacked out, I was able to lie still long enough.

I had a series of MRIs this year, and the best advice I received to deal with the super loud clanging sounds was to imagine that you were in an East German nightclub in the 1990s. It actually helped!
I'm sorry for your health issues Polly and Paula 🙏 I have a friend with serious liver problems who has had two of them and she thought she would faint from the noise and she is extremely claustrophobic. I went down the Mayo Clinic rabbit hole about MRIs and there are a few types of machines and one is a wider one for heavier people.
A toilet plunger might work but it would have to be a really big one.
And a couple of gallons of PB Blaster.😂😂
They probably used one of those mobile scanners used at customs border facilities that they drive by vehicles to scan them.
Those are just regular X-ray machines at US border crossings, Seth. Too much metal for an mri
And they are experimenting with LiDAR scanners, too
BAHWAHAHA!
😂😂😂
I've had two in my life. Definitely not something you volunteer to do "for fun."
Ghastly. Never again for me. Never.
Sure as hell do:. It's like my knee, back, shoulder, stomach hurts, my mammogram was equivocal, my spouse says my memory is going (chortle)...
In addition, no MRI is described as perfect like a test score. And just to be clear, if his MRI was as perfect as the phone call that got him impeached, that MRI showed some serious problems.
Well, I’ve ordered MRIs on demented patients looking for brain abnormalities and they can forget why they had them. Preznit Fuckwit is not a good enough actor to fake this in front of all the docs saying he appears to be in major cognitive decline…
Indeed! MRIs are never done just for fun…
I've had one and I'll never forget the experience.
Its like being put headfirst in a 35 gallon barrel and having somebody going around the outside and banging on the sides with a hammer. Just my "been there" opinion!!
Almost exactly my description: inside an old metal trash can upon which someone is pounding with a ball peen hammer.
It's one of my sick traits:. I love MRIs. I find the percussion distracting and strangely soothing.
😦
You are a lucky person!
I just keep my eyes shut the entire time; one time I opened them and that metal tube is half an inch from my nose and I freaked out but got it together.
Once you've had one, at least you know what to expect. Deep breaths and eyes shut and of course, the ear plugs they give you.
I enjoy being anesthesthetised and waking up in another room, as during colonoscopies and ECT.
🖐️👍👍👍
Though the pricktator is also the first person I've ever heard of who doesn't understand how magnets work, so...
I had one recently. I told them the noise it makes during the procedure sounded like the soundtrack to "Forbidden Planet."
They offered me music to listen to and I chose classical. The next time, I chose Led Zeppelin. I should have used earplugs! I love Zep, but the beats of the music didn't match the loud banging at all!
George Thoroughgood & the Destroyers goes with an MRI. “One Bourbon, One Scotch,” worked.
Excellent choice!
Do you come out of the hospital craving alcohol?
No. Projecting?
When he insisted that “nobody’s ever heard of magnets,” I learned that just as in my childhood, each Wooly Willy comes with his own magnet. I bought two original Willys for my grandchildren; now also available in handy pocket size!
Wooly Willies are pretty neat. I never used one but apparently they were fairly popular, and made not too far away from me (I wanna say in Smethport, PA?) And hey, I guess he must’ve deliberately forgotten those exist given the resemblance to his eldest failson’s beard.
Wee Willy, and Cokey Don (with white filings), could be the follow-up toy involving the lived experiences of MAGA boys.
Great one, Seth!
There is that! 😂🤣😂
Woolly Willy still comes with its magnet, I learned when I bought two of these boomer-era classics for my grandchildren. Even those who’re boycotting Amazon can look, if WW-naive.
…unless one was comatose, so…?
Adults are expected to just hold still inside an MRI, but this weenie probably was sedated for everyone else’s comfort.
Oh Leslie, 😂🤣😂🤣
Oh he’s comatose alright but in his own way probably not what you were thinking.
You cannot know what I was thinking.
Lisa 🎯👍🏼
Lisa, your right, is there various types of comatose? Please inform.
I have had 2 MRIs. on my knees..L& R. I knew it was my knees..Donny probably had a brain scan...and the damn Machine came up empty..hollow..that's why he won't remember.
I had a full body MRI to make sure a small bit of cancer I had hadn't spread elsewhere. (It hadn't.) It took a long time. They give you that panic button and everything in case you freak out in there. I never used it. I was slid out of that thing and they asked if I was okay. "It took a while, but I was fine. My only complaint is the music in there sucks." (If you've never had an MRI, imagine being in a dumpster that is closed, and someone is rhythmically hitting the outside of it with a hammer. It's loud as hell in that thing, even with the earplugs they provide.)
Perfect description.
🙏
Nah, that was over ten years ago, and over five since I finished all the check-ins and CT Scans and stuff. All is gooder. It was caught early. The fact that I remember it this far out tells you all you need to know. :)
I agree Kevin
You can request no music.
I didn't have music. I was talking about the incessant banging.
Oh, you meant the Shake 'n Bake. Sorry.
You described it perfectly!
My two-year-old should have explained to the painted man that a “perfect MRI” is a nice clear one the doctor can read, to see if his brain “tuber” is growing faster than the rest of him. It’s not supposed to (and didn’t).
Leslie, I think your little one has a champion parent.
Awww.🥰 TYSM. He was medically fragile until nineteen, and is now the most popular clam shack waiter in Key West. We won!
Wonderful! I enjoyed how he sedated the action figures, too.
He acted out on the other figures. The armed doctors reach for the skies. The pirates, cowboys, and native Americans didn’t take their pink medicine, so he’s afraid they’ll have to shoot them to address their otitis media. He received at least two sets of ear tubes, plus an adenoidectomy.
That reminds me of my 48-year-old at that age. And my four-year-old grandson. But not the medical procedures. My daughter loved the pink medicine. Thanks!
Yep. Same here. I actually had a brain MRI recently. You would have to be under deep, complete anaesthesia to not notice which body part was being scanned. Sheesh! Mine was fine, BTW.
Children are sedated for MRIs with chloral hydrate, etc. Orange guy probably got propofol so that everyone else got a break from his perfect babbling.
But the fact he insists it wasn’t his brain proves without a doubt that it was his brain, since everything out of his mouth is a lie.
You give the man too much credit.
As a survivor of two brain aneurysm ruptures, I’ve had many MRIs. You definitely know what it’s for! And that jackhammer sound is impossible to forget. If you’re the least bit claustrophobic, the whole experience is frightening.
🙏 I hope you are okay. I don't make fun of people's health issues. I've had an MRI and lots of other imaging and health issues and it is scary. I'm terrified of anything medical and my BP explodes with "white coat syndrome" I save all my jokes only for Demented Donnie and the rest of his repulsive regime. Be well.
Thank you, Robin. That was so nice of you! I have yearly checkups with my neurosurgeon, and so far, everything is okay.
I'm glad to hear it. Joanne🙏
I didn't think that I was claustrophobic until they shoved me into that tight tube. Oh, Hell no. Get me out! Get me out!
Bullshit.
I've had more MRIs than I can remember (brain, for MS; lower back, for shattered L4 & L5), & yeah, you KNOW what part of your body is being scanned....unless you're a fucking brain-dead moron who's lost all conscious awareness of your surroundings.
(And yeah, I nap during mine, too. Some classic '60s music, & I'm gone - but not so much that I CAN'T REMEMBER WHY I'M THERE.)
Pro Tip for an MRI: Keep your eyes SHUT.
Most definitely!!
It probably fell asleep...
1. : “I have no idea. it was just an MRI. what part of the body? it wasn’t the brain” If you don’t know what body part but can say it wasn’t the brain, then it was the brain. 🙄
2. We know Markwayne Mullet is lying because anybody who can bankrupt six casinos doesn’t know how to calculate.
Reminds me of the story someone said about their MAGA relative who, when asked why she hated Obama so much all she could manage was "well it wasn't cuz he's black!"
Narrator: it's defintely cuz he's black.
Thank you Jeff.
Kegsbreath, Bondi, Noem, Trump, and Vance all belong in front of the International Court of Justice at The Hague for ordering and greenlighting of Human Rights abuses, the flaunting of International Law, the illegality of their actions and orders, and more. At present, aside from Putin and Netanyahu -they have declared all out war on democracy, justice, and equality.
Beyond being held criminally liable for their actions, their co-conspirators, accessories after the fact, and donor/supporters should be held to account through asset forfeiture. Just as some of Putin's oligarchs have had assets frozen and seized, so should those continuing to fund the Trump/Vance disorganized crime association.
I agree, but, unfortunately, we didn't sign up with some organization, and, thus- no Americans can be tried at the Hague- only US criminal court.
True Polly -but no reason the next Administration is precluded from supporting the ICJ and the International Criminal Court -and there is no statute of limitations on war crimes.
I agree completely but don't see any way of it happening. The Democrats are just as vulnerable as the Republicans; for example drone strikes under Obama.
The main streams of both parties are solidly invested in American Exceptionalism
I'm not sure that's entirely correct. My reading is that although we don't "respect" the proceedings of the ICC Americans can still be prosecuted by that court. If found guilty those Americans will become "persona non grata" in the countries that respect that court's judgments. I don't remember the number but it's significant.
I think there's a legal technicality where Dumpy et al can be tried by the ICJ, but not the ICC. I was reading about it over the weekend but I couldn't tell you where I saw it.
Absolutely. Every oligarch who has paid Trump a bribe. Both his sons and son in law, Miller, et al should be held accountable. Even Bezos who bought the Washington Post to promote Trump.
They have certainly aided and abetted. In varied responsibility -they own this.
Hopefully there will be consequences one day.
"the flaunting of International Law": pet peeve. it's the FLOUTING (blatant disobedience) of international law; flaunting international law would mean boasting about how great our international law is.
Thanks Robert. My desire for timeliness superseded my quest for accuracy. In my defense I was not fully caffeinated.
You are far from the only reason to get those two words mixed up.
I correct and serve.
Just give me the MRI of the unexpurgated Epstein Files
‘UN-Redacted-Gate’‼️
Jeff
Even if the boats are carrying narcotics, still no reason to bomb them.
Never
That is murder.
You know l, seize the boats, the “narcotics”
Bombing is unacceptable
excellent point. sometimes I get so wrapped up in writing about the trees that I completely forget about the forest
S'ok Uncle Jeff. Some days I feel like I'm sitting in the forest of talking trees and getting pelted with apples. Can't see neither the trees nor the forest. I just know I don't like little green worms.
Love the Wizard of Oz movie reference! I'm reading the book to my 4 y/o granddaughter in it and constantly remembering differences between the two.
I remember as a 4-5 yr old a picture book of the story that my cousin had, and thinking "That's not how the story goes! Who wrote this crap?" 😂
My keen eye focuses on what’s utterly beside the point, out of self-preservation.
I feel pelted by walnuts.
Ouch! Even worse.
The Coast Guard has been searching for, and seizing, narcotics for years ~ without murdering anyone. Although now with Krusty at the helm, things could change.
My son is career USCG and in charge of security and weapons on his cutter. He has actually arrested drug smugglers and confiscated the evidence to be used in court. The usual protocol is to work with the smugglers to go further up the "food chain" to get info on the kingpin without acting like total murdering scofflaw amateur fkheads.
The usual protocol is a preliminary ‘shot across the bow’, not eviscerating everybody and everything, no questions asked.
Performative murder is how this Administration rolls.
Even if the boats were loaded up to the gills ,why not monitor and get them when they deliver..this thing better get the scrutiny it deserves
That would require planned thinking ahead.
Nice of Pissdrunk Pete to honor our brave fighting men who destroy questionable Narcoterrorists who may or may not have been carrying enough drugs, IN FISHING BOATS, to addict some "300 million" citizens from miles above. Sounds like a fair fight.
But how can the piss-drunk Nazi tattoo mannequin play video games on the taxpayer’s dime??
Not only unacceptable--unnecessary. Intercept, board, and take into custody. But that, of course, assumes that the boats really were transporting drugs. The previous time there were survivors, they were plucked from the ocean--and promptly returned to their home countries. That wasn't........suspicious.................at all...............................
So if they blow everything up, all the drugs end up in the ocean. Can’t be good for people or animals. None of this makes sense.
Nothing like frickin sharks with frickin Jewish laser beams on their heads high as fuck on frickin speedballs of coke and fentanyl!
🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈
I guess if you bomb them to kingdom come you don't have enough leftover parts to identify the murder victims. How convenient. It seems to me that some effort should be made. Maybe I have slipped up on my intelligence gathering and there is ongoing ID happening. We're talking 40-plus (or is it 50-plus?) next-of-kin.
80-plus
Thanks Robert. I saw that later. Sometimes it's hard to keep up and it's soon going to reach farther than I can count!
It's just ridiculous. Those little boats would have to refuel about 20 times to reach the US. Nobody would try to go from Nicaragua to Texas or Florida or anywhere in between in those dinky little things, and it's counting on extreme stupidity that anybody would believe it.
I guess that's why it's working.
No idea who he pardoned? No idea where the MRI was on his body? Stick a fork in him.. he’s done.. “Just like that old locomotive rolling on down the tracks.. he’s gone, gone and he’s never coming back” Thank you for your attention to Mr. Drool Bucket Man.
That Cheung-sized ⚰️ coffin’s all ready for the Bedminster back nine.
He'd never consent to being next to Ivana.
Consent? What's that?
The dead can't vote, no matter what the MAGAts believe.
Yeah who will connect that last dot… smdh
The timing of the mystery MRI coincided with the severe drooping of the right side of his face. Two dots connected for him!
I(still)OKIYAR
Donnie Demento is sounding a lot like Holy Brother Mike Johnson, who also never knows what the fuck is going on.
Interesting ReTHUGliCON amnesia going around. Be careful! Don’t step in it.
Now we have Sergeant Schultz as President. He knows NOTHING!
The annual Medicare physical includes the mini-cog test for everyone. Score is 0-3. If you score 3 you are UNLIKELY to have (currently) dementia. Anything less than 3 indicates likely dementia. Note: likely and unlikely. Neither result is definitive. A score of 2 or less means further testing is needed. The fact that Twit had an MRI after the mini-cog tells me SOMETHING in his annual physical was not good. Oh, retired RN here who was the clinic nurse for one of the first free-standing neuroimaging centers in the world.
Thank you for those details. I prefer to be informed when I set out to mock someone mercilessly. 👏🏻🤣
To be sure , Susie but don’t let it stand in the way of a good smearing of some miscreant who well deserves it.
Ahahahhahahaa! Never! 🤣🤣🤣
Nobody, in the history of MRIs has ever had one without knowing why—let alone which body part they’re scanning. They tell you when they prescribe it. They confirm it when you arrive for your appointment. They reconfirm before they roll you inside the tube. And then—and I know this is hard to believe—you actually receive the results of that scan. And the report contains actual details. Any radiologist that simply writes “perfect” is just dressed up as doctor for Halloween. So they need to release the fucking reports. Maybe in two weeks?
The radiologist probably meant "We got a perfect MRI of your fucked up brain."
Yes! The MRI was perfect. The brain, however, has turned into moldy cottage cheese.
I kind f remember a law that a doctor that knows of a condition the prez has is a danger to the country the dr is supposed to share the knowledge, anybody know about that?
Every time I read another "two weeks" jab I hear it in the voice of the exploding head fat lady from Total Recall. 😂
Or the contractors from Money Pit 😂
Or the clerk telling George Clooney's character in O Brother, Where Art Thou? that his Dapper Dan hair cream will take 2 weeks, along with another item he asked for, and George replies: well, ain't this place a geographical oddity - two weeks from anywhere!
Apparently, tRump also resides in a geographical oddity, perfect for a biological oddity.
😂
Excellent reference. I needed that smile! 🤣🤣🤣
YES!! Another classic!
I don’t know, but maybe we could ask Jake Tapper to look into that.
Anyone doubt that he was trying to help Bolsonaro escape custody? Or Bibi? Or Orban (if they ever get to hold free elections)?
Any possibility that he'd enlist his crack(ed) legal team to help Bibi avoid indictment and (well-deserved) jail time? Halligan and Habba to the rescue!
I presume to know what the MRI was for— they were looking to see Trump’s fecalith in the circle of Willis. This is a fancy pants “medicalese” to say “shithead”. Something you don’t need a MRI to know that Trump is one.
😂😂
“fecalith in the Circle of Willis” - cracked me up! Brilliant!
"fecalith". The church of fecalith. Holy shit!
Trump is a lame fuck.
People seem to overlook the fact that a boat the size of what they bombed could not carry enough fuel to get to America.
Ouch. Good. Fucking. Point. 💔🇺🇸
Doesn’t matter to those clowns in DC… those are facts and they just get in the way!
Ya know that’s the first question I had about that. Former pleasure boater, and then the a sea going boat was for fishing way out far from any land. Sold them after my husband passed. He was a Navy Veteran and grew up on the Delaware.
But they have choices in the Caribbean Aruba and Bonaire the Flamingos fly to Venezuela every night to sleep in the Orinoco River. They are not going to the US no way.
20x less than needed. It's just ridiculous.
Good point!
"A Very Special Angel Of Death" snorted laughing at that one, thank you Jeff
I would LOVE to see the TACO in orange from head to foot and behind bars where he belongs. (Slight edit - I wouldn’t “love to see him”. I honestly cannot stand to look at him, but you get my drift!!)
But if I did have to look at him (God knows I've been made to, too many times) that is how I would like it to be.
Oh he knew who he was pardoning. Peter Theil told him who to pardon.
Well, it could have been Junior - "But where else am I <sniff> gonna get my drugs, dad?
That was my first thought.
Thiel would have had the pardon recipient’s c0cl< in his mouth
Or Master Theil would command slave vance to swallow said appendage...to the root.
Or maybe the pardon was signed by AutoPen without his knowledge?
