What I love so much is that when you’re in a Claudia picture there’s such an enormous amount of just pure, unmitigated love pouring out. She loved and was loved in return.
And the restaurant and destination info is awesome! This Californian loves exploring New England and environs, so they are bound to come in handy - Claudia’s knack for finding them continues to have an effect! ❤️
"oh, and we’re giving Iran 300 billion dollars to rebuild all the shit we blew up. which — let’s be honest — we absolutely should. we broke it, we bought it. that was Colin Powell’s Pottery Barn Rule back when we were fucking shit up in Iran."
Just for shitz n giggles, I Googled: Who usually pays reparations after a war ends?
And the Holy AI replied: Historically, DEFEATED NATIONS pay reparations to VICTORIOUS ones to compensate for damages, loss of life, and material losses....As discussed on >>Politics Stack Exchange<<, this obligation falls ON THE VANQUISHED for several key reasons:
*Punitive Measures: To HOLD THE AGRESSOR ACCOUNTABLE for initiating the conflict and to weaken their capacity to rearm.
* Economic Compensation: To help THE WINNING COUNTRY rebuild...
* Conditions for Peace: Payment is often required as a non-negotiable condition for withdrawing occupying troops or to avoid reoccupation.
NOTABLE HISTORICAL EXAMPLES
WW1: Under the Treaty of Versailles, Germany was forced to accept.....being gang-raped in perpetuity. Or until after they f'd up again even worse by putting prototype tRump in power, and then owed their souls for eternity to The Great Satan. . .who promptly let them off the hook in exchange for a Mercedes Convertible with tan leather upholstery and Birdseye maple dashboard.
I'm really suspicious about that $300 billion. Are we giving it to them directly or are we providing $300 billion worth of reconstruction by U.S. based companies. If the latter, how much is going into Trump's pocket?
It's even better, according to what I've read/heard: Donnie Demento has "agreed" that the other Gulf nations should pay Iran the $300 billion he's promising.
Provided we can drag those lame ass Repubs who are hiding under their desks to come out and do their Constitutional oath bound duty. If not, we need to strip them (metaphorically) naked and force them to run down 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue as the fucking cowards and useless rich worshipping shits that they are. Do it, or we're not just going to embarrass you at the next election, we're going to strip your criminally stolen wealth. Like It, Dirtbags.
Idaho criminalizes using the wrong public bathroom. When will a phosphorus explosion vaporize that entire fucking knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing state?
Jeff I’m actually stuck for words! trumps moronic behaviour is just Beyond Stupid and Embarrassing while his minions laugh and clap like trained seals! UGH! 🙈
The maga members of this supreme court are as bad as dear leader. Excuse me while I go back and replace the upper case S & C that autocorrect insists on using. They aren’t worthy of upper case respect.
Also, have you seen the disaster that the once beautiful Reflection Pool has now become thanks to that reprehensible mobster with a friend who thinks he can paint? Jeez! Just another fucking mess that donnie dipshit made that’s going to cost the rest of the body to repair. It ought to come straight out of his hide! Damn, MvDonalds and burnt steaks come on and do your job!
Europeans do not understand that so many (mostly republican) politicians in the USA do not understand that only the government’s police and army has the right to use arms and only under very restricting logical conditions and every police shooting is examined deeply. Cops in Europe rarely are killed and shootings in schools or other public places are very, very rare.
I wuz going to add the 'sweet jezus' last night once I stopped laughing, but figured someone else likely already had. Hadn't read this far. 'Twas you, merci beaucoups. :)
I confess Neal. I bought that album … before my first marriage. I think she made off with it during the divorce. That was the only song off it I remember. I just remembered another song I thought was off that album: “Summer Breeze”; but, I instantly realized that that song belonged to Seals and Croft. That was the golden age of music. It was like the civil rights movement, anti war protests, anti nuke demonstrations, and women’s rights movements birthed all this new creativity resulting in a massive collection of incredible music. If it weren’t for all the conservative psychotic shit drizzle being forced upon us by the conservative elite we might never have had all that creativity. Well done you murdering, women demeaning, strange fruit lynching, narcissistic nut jobs. In an unintentional but fruitful kind of way you spawned some incredible music. So take a win. You won’t. You could have had a win. Shame.
MY favourite music still, and likely always, is from Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, The Temptations, Bob Marley and on and on and on - their SOUL/R&B/Reggae music, all from the same era and spawned because of the same shitfuckers means AS much today as it did then. Peter White - my favourite 'smooth jazz' guitarist still incorporates so much of it into his sets and we ALL still sing along full throated. Fucking glorious, but sadly because of the monsters. I hadn't 'quite' thought of it that way before. Sam's 'Change Gonna Come' is THE true Anthem of the Civil Rights Movement, as relevant now as it was then, as is Marvin's 'What's Going On'. WHEN will those racist, murderous bastards ever wake up to the horrors they've inflicted on us? Just when we think we havea modicum of peace and love in the White House with the Obamas (you HAVE to see inside their new Center, if only on the 2hr show I watched last night on MSNow), along comes donnydemento to fuck us all up again with his special brand of 'birtherism' bullshit. One mention during the show stuck with me: that most young people (20yr olds) have lived ONLY under the orange twit's regime - have no idea what it was like during the Obama years.
That chart you found, Jeff, comparing all the points of the JCPOA with whatever this thing he "got" us should be relentlessly shown by every Democratic candidate. Heaven knows the oligarch media won't show it. Should be forever known as the 6D: Demented Depraved Dozing DonOld's Dumbfuck Deal.
Let's find how who actually authored the Shitpile -- we know it wasn't Shitler (or Vance) who, until yesterday, didn't know what it said. Steve Witkoff, Real Estate Broker and U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East, with flourishes from the "ever-ready-to-grift everywhere" Kushner to assure there was a huge money pot to dip into? John Kerry was a principal architect of Obama's JCPOA, but he never gets any credit.
The stench of grift is all over this deal Sharon… Whitcoff and Kuchner appear to have been negotiating, however Kuchner’s allegiance is most definitely to Israel. I wonder how much our treasury department head played a role in this mess?
Jeff, I see our national embarrassment was on the world stage and lived down to our expectations.. a needless war, a war of choice, billions of our tax dollars to pay for this fiasco… and what did the US receive? And what did Iran give up? Signing the MOU at Versailles where Germany was humiliated in 1919 and Donald and his American crew totally oblivious to the slight. “Golf with MAGAs”.. folks, it’s very hot in AZ, a number of the group will not play. However I did get out with 12 others.. at lunch afterwards those guys were so excited about the comments concerning Michelle Obama. Asked what I thought and did I watch.
I responded that I did not watch, but did see the clip of some no name rasseler making the remark.. I stated that this guy was the same who at his weigh in could barely walk and threw up on himself in front of the press corps.. why should I listen to his musings? It’s all white trailer trash anyways.. and why not have a tractor pull and really rip up the lawn.. Needless to say my remarks were not well received… I got no more f**ks to give with this crew… Best to all fellow Travelers.
I have MAGAot relatives that are impossible to have any intelligent discourse with. When you present them with some facts they just throw up a condescending chuckle with "libtard" or "TDS" thrown in.
Dave, my reply to those who say I have TDS… I do not wear a tampon on my ear… I do not wear a diaper on the outside of my trousers.. that usually shuts them up quickly..
Also you do not buy his overpriced chintz like gold sneakers, watches, guitars, Bibles printed in China, worthless NFTs, openly manipulated memecoins, and now the vaunted T1 phone, not made in America and with recycled, outdated two year-old tech and features at 5 times the price
There are people blithely unaware of what's really happening because they are inside the bubble of a false narrative. I'm saying this because I've had to bite my tongue so many times, once I realize I'm trying to talk to someone with a whole different belief system.
Speaking of Mrs. Obama, I am watching her speak at the opening of the Obama Presidential Center. She is so inspiring. And she is getting her subtle digs in, which makes me love her more. There is not a dry eye in the house. I am too old to have run my ass down there today, but it is truly a monumental event. And OMG, the musical entertainment! A listers all. So far, John Legend and Common have been the standouts
I had one guy tell me he didn’t want me in his group anymore, because I’m too good.. I’m just an average golfer@74 years old, but I’m a gym rat..that’s the difference…
I would not associate with anyone who was excited about that comment about Michelle Obama. They would be too lowlife for me. I am all out of patience, especially after what happened in Ohio last week.
Fredo, thanks for reporting on the MAGolfers. It's sad that they "loved" Hokit's comment about his considered conclusions about the appropriate level of femininity of the former first lady, or any woman. I guess your "pals" would assert that all women should hang on every morsel of wisdom from this icon of masculinity who wears a unitard and sweatily wrestles similarly-clad males and vomits in public. I say he should keep his opinions to himself. But if he has the bad judgment to disgorge them, I'm ignoring them
Me, too. We focus too much on the idiot's actions and not nearly enough on why Republicans in Congress, red state Governors, and the Supreme Court are systematically participating in the destruction of the U.S. Every single move, decision, executive order makes us weaker, literally physically, in reputation, and militarily.
There are different factions within the GOP. We need to understand them, and what they are each gaining from kicking all the constructs of checks and balances out from under us, allowing us to slide into fascism.
and what do the trumpers do with all that ill gotten lucre? I recently heard about one billionaire who as 11 houses. The women voluntarily get their bodies mutilated. They don't live in neighborhoods- many of them don't live anywhere. They spend lots of time in airplanes, yachts and fancy cars. They seem to care deeply about dressing in the latest fashion- and many of them spend tons of time making sure they look perfect.
Personally, I have no interest in living in any of the ways they seen to think are important. I'll take my jeans, t-shirts, natural face and body, and one well built home any day.
Extra money? It goes to social change, the environment, and community needs.
The DNC should realize the Republicans have NO viable candidate for president in 2028 and start priming their own. That is, after they've updated their own leadership and develop a strategy to win back young voters who view the Democratic Party as a graveyard.
As an older voter, 63, I agree! We need to be promoting and supporting younger candidates. Progressive candidates. I’m tired of “let’s try to meet them in the middle” Democrats!
We have reached the time when the young supplant the elders. It is painful for everyone, but it is a reality. The ancient ones will die off. I honestly believe that the youts have less fear of the "other" than the old folks.
His soul has left his body. All that's left is a vacant being. That look is the realization his 2028 presidential aspirations are going fuckity bye. I finally figured out why Lutnick is always standing off to one side chuckling at every harebrained thing out of dear leader's mouth. He's Donnie's court jester and emotional support clown.
But he’s keeping his parents’ homeland from producing communion wafers with energy blackouts & embargo. May his greasy little corpus rot in the hottest fires of hell.
Bibi will keep us involved in Iran. He'll do it by bombing Lebanon which means Iran will close the Strait of Hormuz and we'll be forced back into bombing Iran. This isn't over. (I so hope I'm wrong).
Which reminds me, we should all get The Epstein Files back as the top search on Google. We can focus on the war AND Epstein at the same time. We're smart that way :).
I too, hope you are wrong. I'm hoping that The Thing is bored with it all and will just take his pyric victory and go home to Merde a Loco. Of course, Kegsbreath will want to keep killing people. That's a problem.
Yeah, I read the right-wing media faction over there is PISSED and not hiding it.
Welcome to the underside of the bus, Bibi and Booboos!
Oh...yeah, this has finally melted down into Mr. Hubb's side of the family. MIL in Israel is wondering why I don't GAF and right now the Bibis and Booboos of Israeli Jewery can eat my whole ass.
I have some really outrageous stuff in my pipe. I took a toke at 11 forgetting I have an important meeting with my Pallative care doc and my kids at 1:30! I hope to come down for this!
He now exists in some kind of liminal eternal-present, except for his undying grievances. He thinks the slaughter of little girls in a schoolroom was "a long time ago." Same with all the rest of his crimes. His rasping shortness of breath at the G-7 press conference was telling.
I love how he explained his market manipulation as if he just realized that’s what was happening, previously unbeknownst to him. He really thinks everyone is dumBer than him.
When Trump was blathering all about the unconditional surrender, it was assumed he meant Iran. Hegseth changed the name to Department of War, then immediately lost the first war (if your don't count the boats he's blowing up). He's probably more upset about the algae. Good timing on the Obama resurgence. If this don't stroke him out for good, I can't think of what will. Maybe Mike Pence starting a podcast?
The livestream starts in minutes. I am so excited and have been looking forward to this forever, in my hometown, on the streets where I grew up. And yet, I plan to watch maybe half hour and leave because there is a Freedom Summer 2026 meeting to organize against voter suppression in Ohio, and given the events of last week and the fact that voting rights is my #1 issue I am skipping even that. Oh wow, it just started. Bye!
today in Shit That Happened While I Was Busy Writing This Shit—
"Supreme Court Narrows Law Banning Drug Users From Owning Guns," because of course they did.
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/18/us/politics/supreme-court-drugs-guns.html
remember, Republicans believe that the only person who should be prosecuted for gun/drug law violations is Hunter Biden.

What I love so much is that when you’re in a Claudia picture there’s such an enormous amount of just pure, unmitigated love pouring out. She loved and was loved in return.
I was just reflecting on how the Daily Claudia pics have become my favorite part of Jeff’s posts!
And the restaurant and destination info is awesome! This Californian loves exploring New England and environs, so they are bound to come in handy - Claudia’s knack for finding them continues to have an effect! ❤️
We get the Stoopid up front then ascend to the delightful photos of ethereal Claudia. Such love .
Absolutely. The first thing I notice.
Beautifully stated, Babe Paley ❤
I guess I’m the one to point out that Claudia mastered the perfect shade of lipstick to enhance her beauty. Most of us are still on the hunt.
I laughed at the Jeff / Claudia selfie . . .
because if these had been two different, sub-human life forms
the one on the left would be Donald leering at Melania
while the beautiful woman on the right is totally focused on something interesting
but in your case, Jeff . . . love is real, and ain't it grand?!?!?!
Yes, I was just thinking the same thing!
Truly.
When some meth head shoots at one of them, said meth head will be given a slap on the wrist right?
Depends, is the meth head Black?
Ask Uncle Clarence.
Snap!
💥 BOOM 💥 as the 🎤 drops!
Ha! They will want a firing squad. They love the visual aspect of that shit.
Touché Kay, our courts and the rule of law are being systematically undermined.
Or we could just legalize marijuana and leave our gun laws alone.
Yes, SCOTUS “undertoked”
Undercooked meaning a hit too small off the joint/bong Bob.
I'd rather be under babied than undertoked

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Just like Mexico paid for the big beautiful wall.
Lolol
Why, because he did them such a favor? What a fucking imbecilic lunatic!
This is just one of many reasons why Congress must consider and approve (or not) plans to go to war.
Provided we can drag those lame ass Repubs who are hiding under their desks to come out and do their Constitutional oath bound duty. If not, we need to strip them (metaphorically) naked and force them to run down 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue as the fucking cowards and useless rich worshipping shits that they are. Do it, or we're not just going to embarrass you at the next election, we're going to strip your criminally stolen wealth. Like It, Dirtbags.
I absolutely LOVE this idea! And not ‘metaphysically’! Make them do The Walk Of Shame!
Holy Mike is above all those pesky checks and balances.
I’m guessing an undertoke is when you don’t inhale deeply enough to get a buzz off your joint.
Almost as bad as the overtoke, when you inhale too much and immediately lose it all to 30 seconds of coughing.
Or, somehow, your roach clip is too short for the joint.
Just laughed so hard I almost spit out my coffee!!

W . . .WTAF?
My old pals Brewer & Shipley, rest their souls, would’ve had a new lyric to add to their masterpiece: “ Under Toke Over the Line”.
'Sweet Jesus!'
"sitting downtown in a railway station..."
I wuz going to add the 'sweet jezus' last night once I stopped laughing, but figured someone else likely already had. Hadn't read this far. 'Twas you, merci beaucoups. :)

Just like they didn't report on the demonstrations in Albania.
And ‘undercounted’ the NK3 crowds!? - IMO
Let's find how who actually authored the Shitpile -- we know it wasn't Shitler (or Vance) who, until yesterday, didn't know what it said.

Dozing DonOld sends those two asshats
As each of them delves

A pair of treasonous rats
Excellent!
You nailed it poetically Doc!
Nailed it 🔨
Losing proposition by losers.
Fucking realtors replaced nuclear engineers and physicists for the cyst in charge
It’s like having your mailman performing an abortion!
It was clearly written by the Iranians. Our "negotiators" were under orders to accept whatever Iran was willing to sign.
😳‼️⁉️
The stench of grift is all over this deal Sharon… Whitcoff and Kuchner appear to have been negotiating, however Kuchner’s allegiance is most definitely to Israel. I wonder how much our treasury department head played a role in this mess?
I saved that chart so I can share it with every Democratic candidate that asks me for money.
Good one‼️🤭
Yes!!
WHY DON’T THEY DO THAT???
IT’S A PRETTY OBVIOUS THING TO DO…
Perfect. Let's send it to every single congress person currently running and start a national campaign.
Jeff, I see our national embarrassment was on the world stage and lived down to our expectations.. a needless war, a war of choice, billions of our tax dollars to pay for this fiasco… and what did the US receive? And what did Iran give up? Signing the MOU at Versailles where Germany was humiliated in 1919 and Donald and his American crew totally oblivious to the slight. “Golf with MAGAs”.. folks, it’s very hot in AZ, a number of the group will not play.

Asshole dumbshit Hokit
Whatever mind you had you broke it
You're a racist MAGA chud
With the brains of a spud
Put that in yer pipe and smoke it
Excellent. Just excellent. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I have MAGAot relatives that are impossible to have any intelligent discourse with. When you present them with some facts they just throw up a condescending chuckle with "libtard" or "TDS" thrown in.
Dave, my reply to those who say I have TDS… I do not wear a tampon on my ear… I do not wear a diaper on the outside of my trousers.. that usually shuts them up quickly..
Fredo, it was a maxipad. I'm a woman. I recognized it.
Sorry, my bad…
Also you do not buy his overpriced chintz like gold sneakers, watches, guitars, Bibles printed in China, worthless NFTs, openly manipulated memecoins, and now the vaunted T1 phone, not made in America and with recycled, outdated two year-old tech and features at 5 times the price
The snowflake comment can also amusingly be flipped when they get their panties in a bunch over some trivial nonsense.
That's because intelligent and MAGA are mutually exclusive
I've known many MAGA people who ARE intelligent, but have been duped by Faux & Friendz and have gone down the wrong rabbitholes.
There is piece by Carl Sagan on when someone is conned they usually dig in deeper because they can't admit to themselves they've been duped.
https://x.com/i/status/1964017259661426897
My definition of intelligent is different
Yeah, it's indefinable but there's certainly some subcategory of intelligence that is required to discern facts from fictions.
High on the intelligence scale but sadly , even higher on the gullibility scale . Also , too lazy to research the truth .
My answer there is that they're either feigning belief for some reason, or they're desperate to be lied to.
There are people blithely unaware of what's really happening because they are inside the bubble of a false narrative. I'm saying this because I've had to bite my tongue so many times, once I realize I'm trying to talk to someone with a whole different belief system.
I submit that if they're unaware, it's because they want to be. To be that ignorant, they have to work at it.
Yet calmly pay higher prices on everything now… except *eggs*
Speaking of Mrs. Obama, I am watching her speak at the opening of the Obama Presidential Center. She is so inspiring. And she is getting her subtle digs in, which makes me love her more. There is not a dry eye in the house. I am too old to have run my ass down there today, but it is truly a monumental event. And OMG, the musical entertainment! A listers all. So far, John Legend and Common have been the standouts
That whole ceremony was a shot of inspiration, hope, and patriotism.
Fredo you’re a true trooper!
As long as their assholyness doesn't affect your game...
I had one guy tell me he didn’t want me in his group anymore, because I’m too good.. I’m just an average golfer@74 years old, but I’m a gym rat..that’s the difference…
That is a big difference.
I would not associate with anyone who was excited about that comment about Michelle Obama. They would be too lowlife for me. I am all out of patience, especially after what happened in Ohio last week.
I often wonder if we were to talk to these morons if it would awaken any differing thoughts in them.
Answer is no.
Thanks for affirming.
Very lost cause.
Fredo, thanks for reporting on the MAGolfers. It's sad that they "loved" Hokit's comment about his considered conclusions about the appropriate level of femininity of the former first lady, or any woman.

I'm infuriated at a Congress that refuses to do anything to rein in or remove this totally demented, destructive, and detestable fool.
Me, too. We focus too much on the idiot's actions and not nearly enough on why Republicans in Congress, red state Governors, and the Supreme Court are systematically participating in the destruction of the U.S. Every single move, decision, executive order makes us weaker, literally physically, in reputation, and militarily.
There are different factions within the GOP. We need to understand them, and what they are each gaining from kicking all the constructs of checks and balances out from under us, allowing us to slide into fascism.
You are completely and very painfully correct. The U.S. may soon be U.Sed.to.be. or Utterly Senseless. Sigh.
Money, they are getting rich beyond their wildest dreams.
and what do the trumpers do with all that ill gotten lucre? I recently heard about one billionaire who as 11 houses. The women voluntarily get their bodies mutilated. They don't live in neighborhoods- many of them don't live anywhere. They spend lots of time in airplanes, yachts and fancy cars. They seem to care deeply about dressing in the latest fashion- and many of them spend tons of time making sure they look perfect.

And Jesus. Don't forget killing for Jesus's second coming. As if once wasn't enough.
Fear from the king’s brownshirts? Fear of waking up one morning to see your precious dog’s brutally severed head at the foot of your bed?
Ah, Proud Momma's Boys and The Murdering Oath Keepers. Yes, that too.

Fucking Priorities
The last picture is perfect. The look of love on your face 🩷
I was thinking the same thing. ❤️
Yes, it made me sigh happily.
I'm assuming Macron's sides are sore from laughing so much
That’s my favorite part of the post! Macron is somehow the coolest world leader ever. Well, since Obama anyway! 😎🤣
I agree!
I was already a little in love with Macron because of his patented "Crush Demento's Hand" handshake, but the Versailles signing has me swooning.
It is so strange to watch Liddle M's soul drain out through his shoes. Very weird.
The DNC should realize the Republicans have NO viable candidate for president in 2028 and start priming their own. That is, after they've updated their own leadership and develop a strategy to win back young voters who view the Democratic Party as a graveyard.
As an older voter, 63, I agree! We need to be promoting and supporting younger candidates. Progressive candidates. I’m tired of “let’s try to meet them in the middle” Democrats!
We have reached the time when the young supplant the elders. It is painful for everyone, but it is a reality. The ancient ones will die off. I honestly believe that the youts have less fear of the "other" than the old folks.
His soul has left his body. All that's left is a vacant being. That look is the realization his 2028 presidential aspirations are going fuckity bye. I finally figured out why Lutnick is always standing off to one side chuckling at every harebrained thing out of dear leader's mouth. He's Donnie's court jester and emotional support clown.
Absolutely!
He never had a soul
It might be because of the smell...
But he’s keeping his parents’ homeland from producing communion wafers with energy blackouts & embargo. May his greasy little corpus rot in the hottest fires of hell.
😂🤣😂
Did he ever really have one? Liddle Marco can be whatever anyone wants him to be. He’s an empty suit
And I'll bet Bibi is kicking himself for thinking he could trust this maroon to do his dirty work. They deserve each other.
Bibi will keep us involved in Iran. He'll do it by bombing Lebanon which means Iran will close the Strait of Hormuz and we'll be forced back into bombing Iran. This isn't over. (I so hope I'm wrong).
Yahu has already said that he won't go along with it. Trump knew this already though. Yahu has Trump by The Epsteins.
Which reminds me, we should all get The Epstein Files back as the top search on Google. We can focus on the war AND Epstein at the same time. We're smart that way :).
I too, hope you are wrong. I'm hoping that The Thing is bored with it all and will just take his pyric victory and go home to Merde a Loco. Of course, Kegsbreath will want to keep killing people. That's a problem.
He found his useful idiot…on the other hand, he found his useful idiot. Enjoy, Bibi!
Yeah, I read the right-wing media faction over there is PISSED and not hiding it.
Welcome to the underside of the bus, Bibi and Booboos!
Oh...yeah, this has finally melted down into Mr. Hubb's side of the family. MIL in Israel is wondering why I don't GAF and right now the Bibis and Booboos of Israeli Jewery can eat my whole ass.
Support the Trumps, taker yer lumps! 💁♀️
Warning for the weekend, don't undertoke. Enjoy your weekend.
I have some really outrageous stuff in my pipe. I took a toke at 11 forgetting I have an important meeting with my Pallative care doc and my kids at 1:30! I hope to come down for this!
Just wear your best sunglasses. You'll be fine.
Oops! 😂
😂😂
Hahahahaha! Are gummies OK?
Tariffs on gummies
"‘that stock market isn’t going to manipulate itself.’
Donny, family, and affluent friends made out like bandits, while the rest of the world did not.
Thanks for the chuckle.
And that really was the only point for Trump.
He now exists in some kind of liminal eternal-present, except for his undying grievances. He thinks the slaughter of little girls in a schoolroom was "a long time ago." Same with all the rest of his crimes. His rasping shortness of breath at the G-7 press conference was telling.
You can only run from heart failure for so long.
I love how he explained his market manipulation as if he just realized that’s what was happening, previously unbeknownst to him. He really thinks everyone is dumBer than him.
I don't think he even realizes that the whole market is interconnected.
The way you’re looking at Claudia in that last pic says it all ❤️
Maybe the Undertoker will come for him soon.
🎯🤣
Make America Toke Again
🤣🤣🤣
"where’s the victory, Donny? WHERE’S THE FUCKING VICTORY?"
"Uh, it's down there somewhere, let me take another look."
I'm going to need to add the Dude's reply to my post, thanks
It is possible to loathe someone more
Than this moron who makes us so sore?
Each day a new low
He sucks and he blows
While thousands were killed in his war.
We have to vote out this dumb Bozo
Who looks worse than sad Quasimodo
His orange is fading
He's tanking his ratings
A blue wave is coming! Ho ho do!
From April:
Their "America First" bullshit sucks
But SShitler and Kegsbreath could give two fucks
They stupidly did spoil
The flow of Persian Gulf oil
For the price of billions of bucks
Mahvelous!
Thank you, Dave!
When Trump was blathering all about the unconditional surrender, it was assumed he meant Iran. Hegseth changed the name to Department of War, then immediately lost the first war (if your don't count the boats he's blowing up). He's probably more upset about the algae. Good timing on the Obama resurgence. If this don't stroke him out for good, I can't think of what will. Maybe Mike Pence starting a podcast?
The livestream starts in minutes. I am so excited and have been looking forward to this forever, in my hometown, on the streets where I grew up. And yet, I plan to watch maybe half hour and leave because there is a Freedom Summer 2026 meeting to organize against voter suppression in Ohio, and given the events of last week and the fact that voting rights is my #1 issue I am skipping even that. Oh wow, it just started. Bye!
