Remembering those misogynistic adverts during the Clinton v. Trump race all those centuries ago, with the ominous music and an old school "secure" phone ringing in the middle of the night. Who do you want to answer the president's phone when there's an emergency was the message, and clearly no one would want a highly intelligent woman to do that because she was not strong enough and the president must be on duty all the time. So now we have a moronic, sadistic toddler in the WH fucking everything up and Karoliar Leavitt tells us he has "private time". I guess not elected to anything Nazi Stephen Miller answers the phone then. I am sure they don't let the couchfucker Nazi do that.

There's a monumental absurdity of any criticism that Trump directed at Clinton. By the way, I think most people don't recall this, but the first projection of that campaign was that "Hillary lies." As we've all been saying: In every accusation, there's an admission of guilt. And that projection was fitting.

Not having the same urge to propagandize and control, it is hard to think anyone else would do so. I saw it happen, but so many purchases are by corporations, and the owners are hidden in a mass of paperwork, that it takes an investigative reporter to trace down the real owner. I’ll give you an example “Newsweek” used to be a reputable publication, it got sold multiple times. Eventually a rabid right-wing asshole bought it, and ruined any reputation it was resting on.

I didn't realize before I moved here that Nevada is the 3rd highest state for quakes. We've had 3 that I felt. The one about 10 years ago, cracked the rubber casing on the entry ramp to I-15. The one in Cali a few years ago on July 4th weekend, really rocked my house. I thought they always shook a building, but the house swayed from side to side. I get motion sickness and just that little movement gave me an instant headache. We got the after shock a couple of days later. Why you would want to be in a tunnel if that happens if beyond me. There's an interesting website that shows where all the earthquakes are happening in the world over 2.5 on the scale. It also shows where the major fault lines are. Go to: earthquakes.usgs.gov

Expand full comment
longtimebirdwatcher's avatar

Yes, I have an umbilical cord to that website whenever we have a quake. It depends where you are on the fault line and how big the quake is. Our house is on a tiny east west fault, and when it shakes every year or so, I usually feel it in the living room, my husband won't feel it in the kitchen or anywhere else, and he won't hear it either, but I do. If it's centered around Albany Hill, I can hear it and feel it slightly in our bedroom. These usually register as a high 2 or low 3 at the USGS website. The really high buildings in San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland, and Sacramento that have been built in the last 15 years or so were all built on rollers like in Japan. Those of us only a few miles from the Hayward Fault, which is 50 years overdue for a major quake, are nervous.

I think this acting like this is a normal presidency while the MFr is out there doing a major grift everyday is so asinine I can’t believe it! Are those Repugs that stoooooopid???? This wouldn’t happen in any other democratic country … WE MUST FIND A WAY TO PUT AN END TO THIS INSANITY!!!!!

Republicans are not all that smart, but they owe their employment to the oligarch money supporting them and the oligarchs found a man (sic) in Trump who is quite adept at manipulating the white racist underclass and he has apparently created an unbreakable base there. Certain Americans are big admirers of successful arrogant grifters, because they aspire the arrogant crude grifting themselves. Since elected Republicans only represent the oligarch class (because they want to become a part of it) they will not do anything to stop Trump. I can't think of any MAGA Republican who gives a shit about anything other than themselves and their future wealth as the toy of some super rich stupid techbroligarch.

Every Republican in Congress is utterly corrupt, as is every member of Donnie Demento's Cabinet--and the Laws 4 Cash Extreme Court members. The basic motive started with not wanting to lose their cushy jobs; then the money started pouring in. Now they all also get off on their unlimited powers (since the Democrats are in the minority and cannot do anything effective) and have revealed themselves to be quite the group of sadists.

I think, at this point, that what I'm really completely sick of is the unrelenting lying. We all know that the goal is the destruction of the US: don't bother with the lies anymore. Ever watch Brother Johnson? His Pinocchio tell is that his eyes get wider the bigger his sanctimonious lie is. As a side note....he is starting to look more and more like the Stepford Wives of Mar-a-Lardo: he's got the unnaturally shiny, vinyl skin. Waiting for him to show up with the inflated duck lips and the cheek "bones" that look as if someone stuffed tennis balls under the vinyl skin, as well as the nose that's been honed into a bird beak (he'll end up bearing a strong resemblance to Apartheid Musk).

They have done a masterful job, though, of convincing their MAGA trailer park mouth breathers that they are on their side and feel their pain. "It's not your fault, it's those minorities and immigrants that got you in your predicament. You just siphon everything up to us and we'll take care of you and fix it. Trust us. Honestly."

Jen Psaki openly mocks those driveling scribblers of horseshit on her show (despite its tanking ratings)

“Write your story cause we just DON’T GIVE A FUCK” That sums up this grifting administration, they don’t care about you…it’s all about the wealthy and how much tax payer money they can steal. Happy Holiday Everyone.

May I just say that the level of protest outside Motel-a-Lardo before the most unethical dinner in U.S. presidential history, was a thing of beauty. Our peeps harassing the very muthafuckas that are looking to capitalize on the disease that is tRump…as they squirm their way into his darkness…it was energizing to see.

Did you get to take any pictures of the attendees? Because I for one would REALLY like to know who they were. . .

I'm sorry, Jeff, but you must be mistaken about Donny Fuckwit trying to enrich himself. A source no less credible than Official Prevaricator Karoline Leavitt has intoned, in her we-will-brook-no-dissent voice, that "the American public believe it's absurd for anyone to insinuate that this president is profiting off of the presidency."

So there. Stop insinuating at once, or else.

Oh, Jeff is not “insinuating” it; he is stating it, loudly and clearly.

When you have Frau Pam as the head of your law enforcement, herself a foreign agent for Qatar, the sky's the limit for corruption, And Murc's Law protects her.

This is probably the biggest self-own Americans have committed, putting this transnational, ethnonationalist, racist criminal syndicate in power.

It's collapsed because a lot of the people who bought it only did so they would get to the dinner. Then they sold. . .
