"'This magnificent exhibition of statues will be located in West Potomac Park, which we are transforming into one of the World’s most beautiful public spaces,' Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. Trump has previously said the project will feature life-size statues of roughly 250 Americans."
No matter what animal or his own fist pumping figure, statuary of him violates that lil ol' Commandment against idolatry. Right, Christian nationalists? Right?
NO. Surely Alex Jones, Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Kid Rock and Rush Limbaugh will get golden statues, along with Kash Patel, RFK, Jr, Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi. Maybe Trump can get some of the Trump/Epstein statues showing up on the Mall for half price! Yes, it will no longer be a Park for the living, but a crowded janky gold statue park of America's worst.
If they did put up one of Noem, I would personally pay for a sculpture of a German Wirehaired Pointer, to be placed looking up at her, maybe sitting with a paw raised. Or else a goat, peeing on her.
As Stephen Colbert said earlier this week, just as long as they install golden handles on the statues, it will be easier to pull them down after we are rescued by Canadians.
On local news here in Miami yesterday. The city of Miami does not want to give Trump a three billion dollar parcel of land to build his"library" this is what they said," the plans call for a golden escalator, a statue of Trump in Gold and .......are you ready? A ballroom. Not making this shit up. No books just old issue of Mad Magazine....lol. I made this part up, but the rest is real.
MS-NOW was showing the AI-generated version of the monstrosity--and it does, indeed, look exactly like the Epstein Memorial Dance Hall & Airplane Hangar......except this version comes with an actual airplane.
One of the commentators noted that there's one thing missing from every picture of the planned monstrosity: there are absolutely no books anywhere.
I thought he was gunning for his "library" to be another trump-branded hotel. Now it's another f'ing ballroom on the taxpayers' dime? Like the re-naming and merch at the new airport? JFC, the grift will never end!
Trump has said that he doesn't like libraries and museums. He doesn't want a Trump Memorial Library. That's why he is doing a hotel. His lack of intelligence is shining through.
I'm sorry, Miami, but if you let him build this gag-inducing monstrosity I will have no choice but to pray very very hard for a direct hit on it by a cat#5 hurricane. I will also pray that the damage be confined to Donny's ugly building and his other piece of ugly real estate, Mar-A-Lago.
Might be a task since he’s already pardoned every criminal he ever met as well as those he’s never met who can drop a quick mil for the favor. republiCon sweet.
If you check out Christopher Armitage's Substack this AM, he has delineated all the pardons-for-profit he has granted... It is an amazing list and shows exactly why the presidential pardon must be extirpated from the Constitution!
Don't you fucking DARE fuck with the war memorials there, Donald.
My dad enlisted in the Army at age 17, during the Korean "conflict." He was a farm kid with a disabled father whose best shot at a college education was the GI Bill.
He was trained to be a meteorologist for the Army Air Force. Before he was 20, he was responsible for producing weather reports—a much less exact science in the 1950s—that were the basis for life-or-death decisions by Command.
He saw some things.
Sometime in the 1970s my family and I were watching a show called Amazing Stories, and there was an episode in which the landing gear on a military jet jammed, putting the ball turret gunner—a position UNDERNEATH a plane—in imminent danger of becoming a 2-dimensional smear on the runway.
This was a family show, so the ball turret gunner turned out to be a talented animator who magically bestowed working gear on the plane and everyone got back to Earth safely. And for the first time in my life, Dad volunteered something from his Korea experience.
"That happened at the base once," he said, and clammed up again. But we understood that no miracle of animation occurred that day.
I didn't even know Dad was a meteorologist until I was full grown and a niece interviewed him for a school project.
So when we went to the Mall on a visit to family in DC, I made a point of seeing the monument to Korea. And what struck me, HARD, was how young the soldier statues looked. These were kids, ffs.
"Suckers and losers," says Cap'n Bone Spurs. No, Donnie: Just young people who weren't born to millionaire tax evaders, and saw the military as their best chance at upward mobility.
Don't even THINK about fucking with the war memorials, you draft-dodging, dementia-addled asshole.
Where is this fucking fuck getting all the money to pay for this crap that nobody wants? Why aren’t the “deficit hawks” in the GOP calling out this wasteful government spending??
My friend has been complaining about this sculpture garden for weeks now. She cannot believe it. Someone said that Xi gave Trump rose seeds, as a reference to the Rose Garden he mowed down. Also, a friend of mine who is Chinese and lives in Chicago, said that there is a sea bass that she used to get at the fishmarket in Chinatown that comes from Greenland and her family really likes it. Lo and behold after Trump talked about taking Greenland it disappeared from the stores. Since she missed it she asked the fishmonger about it, and he told her that they cancelled their contracts, so she could see how Trump was personally affecting her life with his careless actions towards other countries.
We were also discussing the very obvious trolling of Trump that Xi did by having him greeting by a lot of little girls waving in adoration, a blatant reference to the Epstein files.
Donald Trump was always horrid, but now he is cognitively slipping. He is at a point where he cannot learn new things, a necessary requirement for his job, and therefore he is surrounded by people who repeat the same old tropes that he knows. Do we trust these people? NO! Do we trust who he is using to negotiate? NO! Do we trust him on anything? NO!
It's actually good that he's doing a new sculpture garden because there are already two very nice ones on the Mall - one each associated with the National Gallery of Art and the Hirshorn Museum. This way there is some chance that he won't fuck them up like everything else he touches.
I gotta lead with the Claudia pictures, which are great. She looks like someone I would have liked a lot.
So that said, the Harp chick... ew! If it weren't her, it would be somebody else. The most depressing thing about the Trump era (Geologic eon?) is how many Trumpian suckups this country contains. A pox on all their houses.
Back when I was writing essays and fiction, I used this tactic to cope with rejection letters. I would start trimming the piece that had been rejected – – and it always made the piece better.
Yeah, she's the new Hope Hicks. And if she moves on he'll find another. I'm only surprised that the New York Times hasn't done a 3,000 word love letter to her yet.
It figures. Any youngish attractive-ish woman is the Trump orbit gets a lengthy adoring hagiography from them, starting with Ivanka who they claimed that as a "senior advisor" she would "soften" his worst policy impulses. I imagined what they would've written about Chelsea Clinton if Hillary had won and made her a "senior advisor" (and she's actually qualified). It would have been days of nonstop agitated front-page coverage until Hillary backed down.
Functionally, Valerie Harp is Trump's Joseph Goebbels, who was HItler's media man. The hate-saturated memes of the Obamas and all the others betray her eternal "little girl" image, which she maintains (as Karoline Leavitt does) to appeal to the old pedophile.
I wonder if Hicks saw the light and got out of MAGA, that dysfunctional land populated by abusive, cheating, wannabe alphas? Her WH boyfriend Rob Porter was one such asshole.
According to Wikipedia, she's said she voted for Trump in 2024 and she's engaged to a finance guy. She comes from a Christianist (not Christian but using Christianity as their weapon) family and went to Liberty University. So don't expect a change of heart from her.
He might find someone else, but it looks like there's some synergy going on between them. Insanity squared. My first thought was that she might bring him down.
And I can't think of another rhyme with heinous or anus but fuck this guy. I hope the Epstein files eat them alive and the rest of his fucking car crash fucking morons.
It's just fKiNg exhausting to read, watch or hear anything about TRump these days. I'm so tired of this shit. Jeff's posts keep me sane, though. Thank you Jeff.👍
Natalie Harp = a “Russian Handler”. Has a certain ring to it…that rings true (Like Tulsi Gabbert). Was she vetted by the way?… of course not—no need, she’s from Fox News aka “friends of Putin”.
Trump has had multiple handlers from different countries, Russia has Tulsi, Manafort, Witkof via Blavatnik, Medavev, Lavrov, of course Putin to name a few Sue…
It is downright scary how much this freak resembles Ivanka…another major eeeewwww! Also, how do they keep finding each other? Scary.
Again, I love Claudia pictures. She seems like such a hoot and I would definitely hang with her…plus I love her socks. 🩷
If you didn’t catch Colbert and Letterman throwing CBS furniture off the roof of the Ed Sullivan theatre last night, it is a must watch. Neither of them give two fucks anymore and it was delightful to witness.
We now know that Natalie keeps him up at night....Gag. This shit gets sicker by the day. He can eat Beef Chow Mein all he wants, but he got nothing from China. They laugh at him and his clown car of billionaires he brought along for the ride. WTF???? China will continue to supply Iran with whatever they need and Shit for Brains is running out of Ideas to make us think he is the good guy.
So President Xi said America is declining and of course trump said it was because Biden blah blah blah. So at what point does the trump administration kick in? After 3 years and 11 months?
Empires are always either rising or declining. This may or may not be China's time, but it's looking increasingly likely. I don't think Russia's got the staying power.
Xi's personal humiliation of Trump was extensive. Just a few choice bits he orchestrated, just for this trip:
- Letting him stew on the tarmac.
- Having him serenaded by a chorus of little girls.
- Gifting him a collection of rose seeds.
- Meeting and doing a deal with Iran before meeting him.
- Quoting Thucydides to him.
And that's just a sample, I'm sure. In the world of diplomacy, where messaging is subtle and quiet, this was a nuclear fireball. And Donny is too stupid and too unlettered to get any of it.
The red carpet not ascending up the the plane door as it was for PM Mark Carney. Being met by the Vice- President, a merely ceremonial role. Xi Jinping sitting ramrod straight while Trump slumped like the wet sack of mud, lecturing him on Taiwan- the list goes on and on. Talk about getting your face ripped off!
All day Land of the Lost and Godzilla movies on rotating streams.
if you dont wanna read the digest, just read that instead.
If you do read the digest, may I also suggest some somatics after
Somatic → cold-water reset. Run cold water over your wrists for sixty seconds. The vagus nerve registers the temperature change, and the nervous system reads it as a return to safety. Tha do chorp a' cuimhneachadh — your body remembers — that it was made to survive temperature shifts.
Cognitive → name three things you decided today. Not three things that happened. Three things you chose. Naming a choice is the act of refusing to be only a recipient.
Relational → send one voice memo. Not a text. Two minutes or less, to someone you love. The voice carries information the keyboard cannot. Your friend hears your exhaustion, your laugh — the body of you, alive and reachable.
EWWWWWWW is right…and that goes for all of them in this crazy-ass administration! Clearly China wins and making fun of him now and then went well over his head and probably the head of harpy! Hope everyone has a nice weekend! Claudia pics are so good-thanks for sharing!
today in Shit That Happened While I Was Busy Writing This Shit:
"Trump announces planned D.C. site for massive sculpture garden"
oh look, another thing nobody asked for and nobody wants.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/05/15/trump-announces-west-potomac-park-is-planned-site-dc-garden-heroes/
"'This magnificent exhibition of statues will be located in West Potomac Park, which we are transforming into one of the World’s most beautiful public spaces,' Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. Trump has previously said the project will feature life-size statues of roughly 250 Americans."
this fucking guy
Those statues will all be of himself. 🙄
The golden calf right?
Golden pig.
No matter what animal or his own fist pumping figure, statuary of him violates that lil ol' Commandment against idolatry. Right, Christian nationalists? Right?
Yep, but also various replicas of himself as Jesus, superheroes and other schlock representations.
( Bet they will be in some form of gold)
Exactly Kay!
NO. Surely Alex Jones, Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Kid Rock and Rush Limbaugh will get golden statues, along with Kash Patel, RFK, Jr, Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi. Maybe Trump can get some of the Trump/Epstein statues showing up on the Mall for half price! Yes, it will no longer be a Park for the living, but a crowded janky gold statue park of America's worst.
If they did put up one of Noem, I would personally pay for a sculpture of a German Wirehaired Pointer, to be placed looking up at her, maybe sitting with a paw raised. Or else a goat, peeing on her.
As Stephen Colbert said earlier this week, just as long as they install golden handles on the statues, it will be easier to pull them down after we are rescued by Canadians.

The city of Miami does not want to give Trump a three billion dollar parcel of land to build his"library" this is what they said," the plans call for a golden escalator, a statue of Trump in Gold and .......are you ready?

I thought he was gunning for his "library" to be another trump-branded hotel. Now it's another f'ing ballroom on the taxpayers' dime? Like the re-naming and merch at the new airport? JFC, the grift will never end!
Trump has said that he doesn't like libraries and museums. He doesn't want a Trump Memorial Library. That's why he is doing a hotel. His lack of intelligence is shining through.
He wants to build Trump towers Miami. The
gaudiest place on the planet.
A library my ass with a hotel?
Grifting all the way to the grave
I'm sorry, Miami, but if you let him build this gag-inducing monstrosity I will have no choice but to pray very very hard for a direct hit on it by a cat#5 hurricane. I will also pray that the damage be confined to Donny's ugly building and his other piece of ugly real estate, Mar-A-Lago.
Holy goddess on a cracker. The man's crackers!
Every bit of tax money squandered is—in the eyes of many MAGA—one fewer dollar sustaining the minorities they hate with government largess.
Good point!
True and it's also a way for them to keep the MAGA/Trump party going forever through garish memorials maintained at taxpayers' expense.
The 250 criminals he intends to pardon on July 4?
Charles Manson but he’s already dead. Jeffrey Dahmer? Dead as well. Trump would pardon Adolf Hitler just for shits and giggles.
Hannibal Lecter, well that’s a given.
Chianti and fava beans, the next MAGA culinary trend
😂😂😂
Both statues and pardons can be given to the deceased.
Might be a task since he’s already pardoned every criminal he ever met as well as those he’s never met who can drop a quick mil for the favor. republiCon sweet.
If you check out Christopher Armitage's Substack this AM, he has delineated all the pardons-for-profit he has granted... It is an amazing list and shows exactly why the presidential pardon must be extirpated from the Constitution!
1. Steal $1 billion from your employees, customers, investors, etc.
2. Pay Trump $250 million for a pardon
3. Profit!!
🎯
One was Jeanine Pirro's ex-husband, who was jailed for tax evasion. Gee, I wonder why he got pardoned?
Don't you fucking DARE fuck with the war memorials there, Donald.

All Epstein?
250 January 6 insurrectionists including himself and Merrick Garland

If you are a US citizen or have US residency, would you please read my piece explaining the campaign to impeach Trump and his cabinet and help us get 2 million signatures by signing the petition in it? https://lindaweide.substack.com/p/indivisible-abroad-supports-the-impeach?r=f0qfn
If you can't find the link to the petition in the above piece, here it is.

🤮
Anyone wanna take a guess at the political affiliations (or race) of these roughly 250 Americans?
fuck that fucking fuck
Can't he take up watercolors or something like George W?
It's actually good that he's doing a new sculpture garden because there are already two very nice ones on the Mall - one each associated with the National Gallery of Art and the Hirshorn Museum. This way there is some chance that he won't fuck them up like everything else he touches.

Natalie Harp is Laura Loomer with table manners.
goddammit, why didn't I put that in my post?
I hate it when I think of good stuff *after* I click 'send'
You remain human; I find it encouraging.
What makes you think she has table manners?
djw- right!!
What is Susie Wiles waiting for? Harpy to boil a pet rabbit in the White House kitchen?
Wiles is just as bugfuck as the rest of them. She just has a somewhat thicker veneer to disguise it (sometimes).
Reference!
Matter of time…
Every writer's pet peeve. I give the edit button a workout.
As a writer, I give the delete button a workout.
Murder those darlings!
Back when I was writing essays and fiction, I used this tactic to cope with rejection letters. I would start trimming the piece that had been rejected – – and it always made the piece better.
Don’t worry-we will all read it! :)
There’s nothing good about Laura Loomer.
Let's see if Harp gets the duck lips treatment
You mean manners UNDER THE TABLE while she’s blowing Orange Hitler. She uses her napkin when she’s done 🤮
I hate when that happens!
Yeah, she's the new Hope Hicks. And if she moves on he'll find another. I'm only surprised that the New York Times hasn't done a 3,000 word love letter to her yet.
oh, they did, back in 2024. the part in my post about the love letters came from the Times:
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/25/us/politics/trump-natalie-harp.html
It figures. Any youngish attractive-ish woman is the Trump orbit gets a lengthy adoring hagiography from them, starting with Ivanka who they claimed that as a "senior advisor" she would "soften" his worst policy impulses. I imagined what they would've written about Chelsea Clinton if Hillary had won and made her a "senior advisor" (and she's actually qualified).

Sulzberger and Khan- 2 Jews aiding and abetting Nazis to sell newspapers 👿

🤮🤮🤮
Oh, Hope. We hardly knew ye.
I wonder if Hicks saw the light and got out of MAGA, that dysfunctional land populated by abusive, cheating, wannabe alphas? Her WH boyfriend Rob Porter was one such asshole.
she's working for a company founded by Megyn Kelly.
So the answer, of course, is no.
According to Wikipedia, she's said she voted for Trump in 2024 and she's engaged to a finance guy. She comes from a Christianist (not Christian but using Christianity as their weapon) family and went to Liberty University. So don't expect a change of heart from her.
Anastasia - as a female, I do wonder about just how many desperate women must exist to be with these disgusting men…who would marry Stephen Miller???
Someone once wrote, defending the supposed sex appeal of Henry Kissinger, that "power is the ultimate aphrodisiac." A big salary helps too.
He might find someone else, but it looks like there's some synergy going on between them. Insanity squared. My first thought was that she might bring him down.
We should be so lucky.
Xi is more likely considering he told Trump he was heading for a Thucydides Trap!
You meant go down on him? ewww the mere mention
Why am I thinking of “Fatal Attraction”?
One of the worst aspects of this administration is the number of enabling idiots, including our elected “representatives”.
1. Natalie Harp spends her toilet time writing “Mrs. Donald Trump the fourth” in her diary.
2. China not only ate our lunch, but our breakfast and dinner too.
Adroitly stated Kay!
From earlier this year, when news of the Human Printer broke:
Ssshitler is trailed by a blonde
Of him she's especially fond
She gets paid taxpayer money
To keep him all sunny
And deepen the trump swamp pond
The douche bag smells worse than an anus,
And the things that you do are so heinous,
But karma is coming
Comeuppance is stunning
And I can't think of another rhyme with heinous or anus but fuck this guy. I hope the Epstein files eat them alive and the rest of his fucking car crash fucking morons.
Haha, there should be new words invented to rhyme with our pejorative profanities, just for him
We will make it happen!
Your dimwitted thugs can't contain us?
OH! Excellent! Thank you.
“Penis” is close enough for government no-work
We could try that. A good suggestion!
"His exit will just be spontaneous."
It's just fKiNg exhausting to read, watch or hear anything about TRump these days. I'm so tired of this shit. Jeff's posts keep me sane, though. Thank you Jeff.👍
Sanity is a bit of a handicap in a world gone mad Megan!
To dictators he's reliably meek
He groveled with an obsequious squeak
For their help with Iran
He'll give China Taiwan
Shallow, pathetic, and weak
Brilliant … and true.
Meanwhile he has conflated the Chinese with the Japanese, whose love of baseball is legendary.
and wasn't it the Soviets who were mad for American 'blue jeans'? (who calls them 'blue jeans' any more?)
I wonder how many cans of gold paint the Chinese bribed Trump with to just leave the country early?
It only took a tiny sample with a promise to send as much as he wants! How do say I promise in Chinese? dipshit 😖
That sounds better than “dungarees,” which is what an old (I do mean old) co-worker of mine called them.
Yes. They sold for large amounts in the black market back then.
Neil Diamond. "Forever In Blue Jeans".
Potato potahto. Us Asians are all alike to him.
Natalie Harp sounds like a “Russian handler” to trump. Does that mean that Malaria has given up that job?
She's probably on board with this. The more time he spends with printer girl is less time he spends with her.
God yes. Everybody wins.
More time for Melania to salivate over her pre-nup
Natalie Harp = a “Russian Handler”. Has a certain ring to it…that rings true (Like Tulsi Gabbert). Was she vetted by the way?… of course not—no need, she’s from Fox News aka “friends of Putin”.

Again, I love Claudia pictures. She seems like such a hoot and I would definitely hang with her…plus I love her socks. 🩷
If you didn’t catch Colbert and Letterman throwing CBS furniture off the roof of the Ed Sullivan theatre last night, it is a must watch. Neither of them give two fucks anymore and it was delightful to witness.
Frau Natalie aka Printer Girl is quite a piece of work!
How else could Maladministration 2.0 work so well without all these cultists and toadies?
For any normal person, her obsessive stalker mentality would be off-putting, but for him, it's just another ego boost for that insecure egomaniac
She is definitely fighting Frau Karoline for a seat in the bunker when this all runs its course.
The bunker only has room for blonde women who worship him, so there's lotsa space. Apparently Perjury Pam got booted
Pamnesia Blondi is too old. Donnie Demento has always liked them young..............very.........young.
We now know that Natalie keeps him up at night....Gag. This shit gets sicker by the day. He can eat Beef Chow Mein all he wants, but he got nothing from China. They laugh at him and his clown car of billionaires he brought along for the ride. WTF???? China will continue to supply Iran with whatever they need and Shit for Brains is running out of Ideas to make us think he is the good guy.

You mean the little mushroom he thinks of as his staff Chris?
Ewwww!
EWWWWWWW is right…and that goes for all of them in this crazy-ass administration! Clearly China wins and making fun of him now and then went well over his head and probably the head of harpy! Hope everyone has a nice weekend! Claudia pics are so good-thanks for sharing!
