you'll note that I chose not to write about Donny threatening to invoke the insurrection act, or to cancel the midterm elections. maybe someday I'll figure out how to make that shit funny — in my pants.
but of course, you're welcome to discuss it down here in the comments.
Actually, I had the same day only I skipped reading anything other than the headlines about the insurrection act in Minnesota and cancelling the midterms, because I can already imagine what that story will say, and you are right, it is not funny.
I also told my daughter today that all the world leaders are looking at how pathetic Trump is for pretending that he really won the Nobel Prize as if you can "buy" everything.
Meanwhile, according to Dean Blundell, Canada traded us out for China, because they would rather deal with a dictator you can count on than one you cannot count on. How many other countries are going to follow in Carney's footsteps?
Was there ever a more spoiled, foul, putrid, decayed piece of protoplasm than Prez. Dumbfuck? If he ever says he "won" the peace prize I hope someone clobbers him upside the head.
I read the same thing. very sad for America. It is not going to get any better any time soon. It will crash at some point but it will be worse before it gets better.
It is becoming painfully clear that the world will have to bring down the latest rendition of hitler. since our own politicians will not...unless the citizens prevail, which is something I will not count out, ever.
When it comes to Trump invoking the insurrection act, I think your readers will forgive you if you abandon any attempt at humor and just drop continuous F-bombs.
The National Strategic Reserves are located under Cheyenne Mountain. They have been depleting at record levels for 10 years, and there is now a crisis about it being brought to Congress.
Or worse - the word will lose its entire shock value, like 'damn' or 'Hell' - both of which were still shocking when I was young. I actually got punished and humiliated by my 3rd grade teacher for calling my tormenter-classmate an ass! I should have called her a bitch, but hadn't learned the word yet.
I want to remind everyone that the mad self proclaimed “tariff king” can’t do shit for canceling our elections via the insurrection act.
He can’t change the election date (codified by law) and he can’t cancel elections (they are run by local precincts and the states).
So don’t fall for the panic, it’s part of their Nazi move—getting us to panic.
He can bluster and word vomit fascist talking points and threats all day long, but it doesn’t line up with reality.
Just like his threats over Greenland—he is limited. Even with a feckless Congress he is still limited. Mostly because he isn’t going to pull out the checkbook to his own bank account and start writing the checks for what a lot of this action actually costs.
I do think they will still try to cheat regarding the elections. But he can’t cancel them. And instating the insurrection act would tank markets—something his broligarchs and handlers are going to be vocal about.
Under Posse Comitatus, the federal military (Army/Air Force, and by policy Navy/Marines) can’t be used for domestic law enforcement activities — and that includes things like “policing” civilians at the polls.
Even under the Insurrection Act, the U.S. military isn’t supposed to be used to police elections or camp out at polling places. Troops at voting sites would be treated as voter intimidation and would be challenged in court immediately.
Our lower courts have been holding us together since Congress checked out. And recently the Supreme Court did vote in favor of Posse Comitatus and against Trump—not allowing one states Guard to be federalized and then sent to another state.
Well here’s the thing, it’s not the courts or Trump that actually issues orders and pays the checks to individuals in the military—Congress does.
While it is true that Trump doesn’t need Congress to invoke the Insurrection Act, he DOES need money to sustain a large, ongoing domestic crackdown.
You can’t run a nationwide operation on vibes and Truth Social threats.
It’s run on appropriations, overtime, logistics, and compliance all the way down the chain. And there are MANY within that chain, all the way down to the payroll systems that cut the individual checks to soldiers.
That’s where the leverage still is: funding + enforcement capacity. So him trying to “not follow a law” here doesn’t panic me one bit. I’m too aware of the bureaucracy of military operations at scale.
That's good news, Unity, but what about ICE at polling places? Since ICE is now Shitler's personal Gestapo, I'd suspect these fuckers would be the ones sent. Any thoughts?
Ok, I need to get read up on it since I'll be living under it. I thought the Insurrection Act necessarily invoked martial law on the country and suspended elections for the duration. Anybody got some facts?
Sorry, George, I don’t have actual facts, but from what I’ve been reading the Insurrection Act suspends the Posse Comitatus Act and Martial Law cannot be used with either one.
He followed the Supreme Courts recent ruling on the National Guard deployments.
I understand scoffing, bc he’s mostly lawless—but PLEASE remember, and spread the word—he has no choice but to follow the rulings around the military bc he ***does not cut orders nor does he pay the individuals to deploy***
The military runs on paperwork, and money. He is not paying the military out of his own bank account!
I understand what you're saying, but do you understand our concerns? Congress cuts the checks and Congress is in Trump's back pocket (to keep my potty mouth under control for once). So what's the difference?
No, he can't, but he says it all the time to a. make himself feel powerful because he is so weak and b. the seize the narrative and get us all rattled once again just like the last time he said it.
You are exactly right that they will "try to cheat" but we need to be clear about HOW. Not by cancelling elections or by rigging machines (not possible) but by lying to voters and scaring them and making it much more difficult to vote via things such as voter purges, turning down IDs, and limiting opportunities to vote. These are things we need to pay attention to.
This is correct. Do realize that last federal election they did fuck with the software, audits showed a significant “Russian tail” that can ONLY be achieved with messing with the software. Plus he and Elonia both coyly yet openly admitted to doing so.
Harris should have NEVER conceded, so that information does nothing but warn us about what they will try to do in future elections to cheat. It’s why he hates paper ballots and mail in voting—can’t mess with those as easily.
We MUST remember at EVERY turn that OUR PANIC gives them power.
Clarity and logic combats that. We must not panic, just be consistent and confident in our fight.
In 2016 there was evidence that Russians TRIED to hack voter registration rolls, but were unsuccessful. That's where this story comes from. No one fucked with voting software, which isn't available for fucking with anyway, in the last election or any other. We need to be not just consistent and confident but also reality-based.
It’s the backbone of journalism, intelligence work, fraud detection, counterintelligence—and even medical diagnosis.
I’m not absolutely claiming “confirmed hacked voting machines.”
I’m saying “where there is smoke look for fire.”
And here, very recently, there are enough red flags to justify future transparency and future audits, instead of immediate dismissal of “no one cannot nor will they ever do this.”
We need to be aware of how they can cheat in the future—based on the information and patterns of the past.
***When you have***:
• statistical anomalies flagged by analysts in ballot-level data
• years of election denial + projection
• open sympathy for / obsession with election equipment tampering cases (Tina Peters in Colorado)
• and wildly inappropriate “I’d be in prison if we lost” rhetoric from powerful figures (Elon Musk to Tucker Carlson)
…you must verify. You must audit. You must document. And you must be extra secure about anything that could happen—even if it seems not based in “reality.”
And for anyone reading this and unaware:
What is a “Russian Tail” pattern?
The term “Russian tail” is used by election analysts to describe a statistical distribution pattern where vote totals will show an unusual “tail” shape that can be consistent with manipulation.
So what “reality-based” looks like here can be very simple:
• Public access to Cast Vote Records (CVRs) where legal
HOWEVER, the stenographers who pretend they are journalists fail to point out (1) the election date is set by federal law. (2) because of federalism, it’s actually 50 (more or less) state elections. He’s going to prevent an election in California (for example?) don’t think so.
just as all his 'other' great ideas are bullshit and not original, his fascination with insurrection and the insurrection act came from milhouse, the president that wanted to be king.
FUK TRUMP! RELEASE YOUR TAX FILINGS! RELEASE EPSTEIN FILES!
Reading about his “Board of Peace”, my first thought was that maybe he spelled “Peace” wrong. Maybe he meant “Piece”. Reminded me of the 60’s when a carload of hippies would drive by hanging out the window, doing the V hand sign, and yelling “Peace!” And everyone else would yell back “Hope you get some!” (We were bad in those days.) 🤪
We're dealing with serious issues but it needs some levity to get through this bullshite. There are many great writers on Substack who are academics, lawyers and other professionals who write with gravitas and clarity. Jeff has a style that makes this insanity palatable. I have days where I just cannot digest the lies and distraction but keep my head above water at the point of drowning. Steady...
I saw some Republican dipshit say that Minnesota could secede, that could be funny. As a Minnesota resident myself I'd be glad to distance myself from all this shit, and hey, maybe Canada could use another province...
Accepting someone else's Nobel prize makes as much sense as putting someone else's bowling trophy on your mantel. My prediction: The Insurrection Act act is going to fold before it opens.
Here's a fun fact about ICE, cheered me up no end. Hope the same for you: The $50K signing bonus doesn't kick in for five years. None of these chumps are getting their big payday.
I'd like to source it better, but let's put it this way: What's a promise from the Trump administration worth? They'll find any way they can not to pay. In this case it's our tax $ so I'm in favor.
I will never get over the fact that she killed a dog. A DOG. I mean, I'm a cat person primarily, but dogs just want to be your friend. Is there anything warmer and more welcoming than a dog?
I understand people less the longer I live. I mean, she's a mother, raised 3 kids and at least her 2 daughters seem normal, have kids of their own, and yet she's also someone who can lie on demand and shoot a dog to entertain her company. I just can't reconcile this shit anymore.
Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a mental health condition that affects how you view yourself and relate to others. Having NPD means you have an excessive need to impress others or feel important. That need can be strong enough to drive harmful behaviors, negatively affecting you and those around you.” https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/9742-narcissistic-personality-disorder
Many people look normal on the outside. It's when you get them alone, or observe them during their family time that you see who they really are. The dog shooting is the biggest tell of who she is, and probably who her family are at their core, regardless of how they appear to the public. That dog-shooting thing is full on Nazi SS shit.
And they probably didn’t read the fine print. I’m going to guess that many were desperate for the money and won’t last the year. I honestly think that a lot of these guys don’t have the stomach for it. Of the course the ones who do probably make up for the rest
That’s so true. How obvious is it that a trophy WON by someone else can never truly belong to anyone else because they didn’t win it. A trophy is just a symbol of someone else’s win. 🤦🏻♀️ Unless things really go from horrible to worse, no one will ever believe that Donnycon won the NPP.
The Nobel Committee had already stated that the prize was non-transferable. I think they need to add new language that says if the recipient attempts to regift the medal, it becomes null and void. Not only should Donny not have his name on the record, but hers should come off. She supposedly earned this award for her courage. This ludicrous and embarrassing gesture proves she has none.
No, I think they should make them sign a new clause that says, No gifting to Donald Trump! They can be that specific because there in no one else on the planet who wants it enough to coerce winners into giving it to them. That is, no one else whose brain has rotted enough to believe that that would be a real victory.
Seriously. Threatening a country with actual war unless he gets the Peace Prize as a pacifier has won him the respect of the planet. And the Florida Panthers anus-lickers in their little matching Trump suits and ties should be barred from the league.
A(tf)MEN!!! There is apparantly no limit to the lengths he'll go to keep this shit in the dark. Fuck this! Just put it all out there & let the consequences fall where they may! It's like we keep daring him to go further, dig deeper in his lawless, creepy imagination to do something even worse & with greater impunity than the last shit he pulled, whatever it might have been. Enough!
I'm so tired of this stupid, smarmy prick & his delusions! I hope he lives long enough to see a fully functional spotlight shine on & light the fuck out of every hidden, cobweb-filled nook of his lifetime - making everyone *inarguably* aware of every single one of his despicable "secrets," as well as its (hopeful) effect of only shame & humiliation replacing the shameLESS admiration once held by every MAGAt out there! I hope he sees the masses double over in laughter or recoil in shame at the mere mention of his name! I hope we don't have to settle for anything less. Because fuck that guy! 🖕🖤
I read someone say you can have Super Bowl ring given to you but that doesn't mean you won a Super Bowl. Same thing but he is too much of a dumfuck to know the difference.
That’s very generous of your cat. No way would my cat make such a generous gesture (and he’s very sweet)If you told him it was for impotent tRUMP he’d say “Awa’ an bile yer heid”
It's worse than that. It's pressuring someone to give you a trophy for something you didn't even participate in. If Machado thinks he's going to make her the leader of Venezuela, she's dead fucking wrong.
It’s the bully getting the kid on the playground to hand over their lunch money. It’s pathetic and makes him look even weaker and idiotic than he already did prior.
Is he not the dumbest person in history? She cannot convey the prize to someone else. I imagine a fancy painting and perhap a gold coin showing him with the prize will be made. He will then add them as another money making grift. He is the worst humanity has to offer.
A stupid bag carrying a stupid bag, IMO. Did MAGA threaten her life unless she handed over the bounty to him, and she capitulated like everyone else does?
To some, this may come off as jealousy, but it's not about me, it's about other people I know. I just find it so infuriating that this asshole has always gotten everything he's ever wanted - and gotten it handed to him on a silver platter. He's never had to do anything to earn what he has, he's never worked hard in his life. Then he still has the nerve to complain about everything. On the other hand, I've known good, decent people who deserved better from life. I'm not saying they should have been filthy rich, or be president, and they wouldn't have wanted those things anyway. But they deserved better than what they got. They deserved to at least be able to live without struggling, without tragedy, without dying too soon. And then some arrogant, vain, nasty asshole like Trump just gets handed the best life has to offer and he can't appreciate it because he always wants more, he's never satisfied. Like the old saying, if you gave him the moon, he'd want the stars.
It pisses me off to no end that the nasty old motherfucker NEVER gets punished for a fuckin thing he does! Hell, if he gets fined, or has to pay a judgement, he just IGNORES it....and nobody does a damn thing. IT AIN'T RIGHT, DAMMIT
He should have called it The Misistry of Peace to keep it in line with 1984....or was that the name for the war department? Too late, though. He's already committed to one name change, and it's cost millions.
I'm waiting for Dennis Kucinich to praise him to heaven in his next newsletter. Dennis was advocating for a Department of Peace decades ago, and when he left office, he said he was devoting himself to the cause of peace. However Dennis has gone off the deep end and it's hard to predict anymore what side of an issue he'll fall on. He was RFK Jr.'s campaign manager for a minute. He kissed Assad's ass. He's become kind of horseshoe but very twisted horseshoe.
How anyone can't see or admit what a pathetic little boy he is......it's beyond me. I would be fucking mortified beyond belief if a Dem ever did one-tenth of the cringey, lame-ass shit he does.
Evening mantra as I burn some incense before bed (every night)…”Please let some one/thing/country/nation come in and take away the🍊💩👜, Counchfucker, Ice Barbie, Nosferatu, Kegstand, and Holy Mike. It is time to clear the USA of this bullshit.”

I like that phrasing - a dictator you can count on. It makes sense. At least then you know what you're dealing with.
The latest turd to rumble out of his ass and into his adult diaper is something you can count on being ever-present - in his pants
A Dictator You Can Count On needs to be made into a jingle. Come on Colbert!
Or perhaps better still, Randy Rainbow? :-)
Chris, here is the Dean Blundell piece.

Thank for the link. Fascinating article. I've heard Blundell's name but am not familiar with the content. Is it considered reliably fact-based?
It's the devil you know.
Was there ever a more spoiled, foul, putrid, decayed piece of protoplasm than Prez. Dumbfuck? If he ever says he "won" the peace prize I hope someone clobbers him upside the head.
Eventually he will say he won the Nobel Peace Prize.....maybe tomorrow...
For myself, I don't need to hear him say that to hope someone clobbers him.
Or respond, "Quiet, Piggy."
Repeatedly, and with great power behind it.
I read the same thing. very sad for America. It is not going to get any better any time soon. It will crash at some point but it will be worse before it gets better.
Every one of them, if they're smart.

When it comes to Trump invoking the insurrection act, I think your readers will forgive you if you abandon any attempt at humor and just drop continuous F-bombs.
Be diligent with f bombs before you run out which I do on a daily basis.
I buried my last fuck years ago 😎
lol
There's a quota?
No, its a supply issue
The National Strategic Reserves are located under Cheyenne Mountain. They have been depleting at record levels for 10 years, and there is now a crisis about it being brought to Congress.
And with Trump now threatening new tariffs on any nation criticizing him over Greenland its going to be even more expensive.
Or worse - the word will lose its entire shock value, like 'damn' or 'Hell' - both of which were still shocking when I was young. I actually got punished and humiliated by my 3rd grade teacher for calling my tormenter-classmate an ass! I should have called her a bitch, but hadn't learned the word yet.

I do think they will still try to cheat regarding the elections. But he can’t cancel them. And instating the insurrection act would tank markets—something his broligarchs and handlers are going to be vocal about.
As I understand it, the insurrection act prohibits military personnel at voting sites
got link? if true, that's a thing I could write about
Under Posse Comitatus, the federal military (Army/Air Force, and by policy Navy/Marines) can’t be used for domestic law enforcement activities — and that includes things like “policing” civilians at the polls.
Even under the Insurrection Act, the U.S. military isn’t supposed to be used to police elections or camp out at polling places. Troops at voting sites would be treated as voter intimidation and would be challenged in court immediately.

What is Plan B when the administration defies the court(s)?
Well here’s the thing, it’s not the courts or Trump that actually issues orders and pays the checks to individuals in the military—Congress does.
While it is true that Trump doesn’t need Congress to invoke the Insurrection Act, he DOES need money to sustain a large, ongoing domestic crackdown.
You can’t run a nationwide operation on vibes and Truth Social threats.

That's good news, Unity, but what about ICE at polling places? Since ICE is now Shitler's personal Gestapo, I'd suspect these fuckers would be the ones sent. Any thoughts?
There's a lot of things they're prohibited from doing that they are doing anyway.
When did a good law stop these a-holes? Never.
Ok, I need to get read up on it since I'll be living under it. I thought the Insurrection Act necessarily invoked martial law on the country and suspended elections for the duration. Anybody got some facts?
Sorry, George, I don’t have actual facts, but from what I’ve been reading the Insurrection Act suspends the Posse Comitatus Act and Martial Law cannot be used with either one.
So he can't *officially* do a two-fer? Interesting.
can't cancel the elections...because laws...we'll see
He followed the Supreme Courts recent ruling on the National Guard deployments.
I understand scoffing, bc he’s mostly lawless—but PLEASE remember, and spread the word—he has no choice but to follow the rulings around the military bc he ***does not cut orders nor does he pay the individuals to deploy***
The military runs on paperwork, and money. He is not paying the military out of his own bank account!

It isn’t funny.
HOWEVER, the stenographers who pretend they are journalists fail to point out (1) the election date is set by federal law. (2) because of federalism, it’s actually 50 (more or less) state elections. He’s going to prevent an election in California (for example?) don’t think so.
Those stenographers (exactly the right term) love to panic us and throw us into turmoil. And that helps Trump.
They could so easily be replaced with a generic AI stenographer that I'm surprised they still use bylines.
just as all his 'other' great ideas are bullshit and not original, his fascination with insurrection and the insurrection act came from milhouse, the president that wanted to be king.
FUK TRUMP! RELEASE YOUR TAX FILINGS! RELEASE EPSTEIN FILES!

I just can't either. Some of this shit, no matter how you slice it, just isn't funny. 👍

Here's a fun fact about ICE, cheered me up no end. Hope the same for you: The $50K signing bonus doesn't kick in for five years. None of these chumps are getting their big payday.
I read they they pay out ten grand at the end of each year, but if you don't last the full five years, you have to pay back whatever you've gotten.
of course, I read it on social media, so who the fuck knows if it's true
I'd like to source it better, but let's put it this way: What's a promise from the Trump administration worth? They'll find any way they can not to pay. In this case it's our tax $ so I'm in favor.
Agree
That’s probably rooted in truth. My bonuses for the military were a very large amount, divided over a number of years and taxed to hell each year.
So if the sign on bonus is 10k per year they might get abound 6-7k on their hire date anniversary.
Not much compensation for selling your soul imo.
And probably not enough to be able to move out of the basement.
Bahahahaha!! True!!!
Not having a soul is likely a job requirement, look at icebarbie she is actually a gelatinous lump of silicone probably sent from another planet.
I will never get over the fact that she killed a dog. A DOG. I mean, I'm a cat person primarily, but dogs just want to be your friend. Is there anything warmer and more welcoming than a dog?

But that gelatinous lump of silicone molds perfectly around what Corey has "in his pants".
aaahh!!! damn! that's so scary and now I have to go watch The Substance to get that image out of my head :-D
Unity in Defiance, that was my experience in the Navy too.
That's assuming drumpf pays them at all
Yes, and I guaran-damn-tee you they will be "retired" just before that time, thus allowing trumpolini to steal their bonus money!
And forced to pay back what they’d gotten up to that point.
👍👍
I heard that from a member of our political book club as well. So, with that logic they may not ever see it. Typical of things from Trumpy!
Everything Trump Touches Dies (ETTD). Certainly hope that goes for ICE entirely sooner rather than later.
And they probably didn’t read the fine print. I’m going to guess that many were desperate for the money and won’t last the year. I honestly think that a lot of these guys don’t have the stomach for it. Of the course the ones who do probably make up for the rest
Getting an out of jail card and a job ( because we all know who they really are) is about as close to winning the lottery as they would ever get.
I heard if they leave before 5 years they also have to pay back any other bonuses or overtime too!
How soon do you think he'll have Machado's name replaced with his own on the framed document? I'm gonna say under 24 hours (if not already by now.)
That proves what morons they are...As always with drumpf don't believe you will ever get paid...healways has a reason not to.
If, and it's a big 'if', they got all the money in 5 years, then it would be the next administration’s cost.
Meaning our tax money no matter what.
That’s so true. How obvious is it that a trophy WON by someone else can never truly belong to anyone else because they didn’t win it. A trophy is just a symbol of someone else’s win. 🤦🏻♀️ Unless things really go from horrible to worse, no one will ever believe that Donnycon won the NPP.
This made my day. Many thanks.
I know!!! I just heard that- we need to create a song about that- because THEY CAN’T READ!!! 😂😂😂😂
The Nobel Committee had already stated that the prize was non-transferable. I think they need to add new language that says if the recipient attempts to regift the medal, it becomes null and void. Not only should Donny not have his name on the record, but hers should come off. She supposedly earned this award for her courage. This ludicrous and embarrassing gesture proves she has none.
she definiteyl did not show courage handing over her award to president fuckwitz like that... I was so disappointed in her.
I don’t care if she won the Nobel prize: she’s not thinking clearly. She just handed her prize to an autocrat who has no respect for her.

Anyone who would hand their nobel peace prize over to a ruthless dictator did not deserve to get the prize in the first place. What a joke.
No, I think they should make them sign a new clause that says, No gifting to Donald Trump! They can be that specific because there in no one else on the planet who wants it enough to coerce winners into giving it to them. That is, no one else whose brain has rotted enough to believe that that would be a real victory.
Seriously. Threatening a country with actual war unless he gets the Peace Prize as a pacifier has won him the respect of the planet. And the Florida Panthers anus-lickers in their little matching Trump suits and ties should be barred from the league.
Grotesque magats
👏👏👏👏
All future metals should say in fine print: “Not for you, Donny”.
Yes, rescind the award altogether!
Release the full unredacted Epstein files and drop all this evil clownfuckery distraction
Yup! I think Congress should put Jack Smith in charge of overseeing the release.
A(tf)MEN!!! There is apparantly no limit to the lengths he'll go to keep this shit in the dark. Fuck this! Just put it all out there & let the consequences fall where they may! It's like we keep daring him to go further, dig deeper in his lawless, creepy imagination to do something even worse & with greater impunity than the last shit he pulled, whatever it might have been. Enough!
I'm so tired of this stupid, smarmy prick & his delusions! I hope he lives long enough to see a fully functional spotlight shine on & light the fuck out of every hidden, cobweb-filled nook of his lifetime - making everyone *inarguably* aware of every single one of his despicable "secrets," as well as its (hopeful) effect of only shame & humiliation replacing the shameLESS admiration once held by every MAGAt out there! I hope he sees the masses double over in laughter or recoil in shame at the mere mention of his name! I hope we don't have to settle for anything less. Because fuck that guy! 🖕🖤
Where’s the Jewish space laser when we really need it.
Where's the Jewish space laser? In tRump's pants!
May the Schwartz be with him!
I read someone say you can have Super Bowl ring given to you but that doesn't mean you won a Super Bowl. Same thing but he is too much of a dumfuck to know the difference.
He once took a veteran's Purple Heart and said he always wanted one of those.
Good analogy.
Well, the cult believes everything he says, so now they’re all going to be adding “Nobel Prize winning Very Special Boy.”
fuck them.
My cat just volunteered to give him a bag of treats.
Golden Covered Cat Poop, shaped to look like chocolates I hope!
With kaopectate in them
Reeer! 🙀
She’s desperate to have me stop muttering obscenities..
Cats are like that..🐈
😂😂
My cats have something totally different in mind.😺😂😂
A presidential Whitman’s Sampler for the Orange/Gold Bordello
An "Eat Shit and Die" Valentine from those who didn't vote for him.
That’s very generous of your cat. No way would my cat make such a generous gesture (and he’s very sweet)If you told him it was for impotent tRUMP he’d say “Awa’ an bile yer heid”
my cat would never
Let's take a minute and think about Walker's words.

It's worse than that. It's pressuring someone to give you a trophy for something you didn't even participate in. If Machado thinks he's going to make her the leader of Venezuela, she's dead fucking wrong.
It’s the bully getting the kid on the playground to hand over their lunch money. It’s pathetic and makes him look even weaker and idiotic than he already did prior.
He should get a prize for that.
This is just a much, much larger version of Trump claiming to have won golf tournaments in which he did not even participate
And winning states that were a landslide, for the other candidate.
Is he not the dumbest person in history? She cannot convey the prize to someone else. I imagine a fancy painting and perhap a gold coin showing him with the prize will be made. He will then add them as another money making grift. He is the worst humanity has to offer.
Just be sure to bury it with him in the rough of one of his par three whore houses.
Diapershittingest Buffoon Prize! 🤣
“In my pants” 😂😂
Damn Jeff! I’m crying in my car right now!
Everything is beyond absurd. He’s certifiably insane and we’re all less safe because of it. And the enabling GOP.
I'm really looking forward to adding 'in his pants' to every new outrage. I think it will help me avoid the daily migraine 🙃 🙂 😅
HA! I would agree. It’s hilarious!
“I gave Trump my Peace Prize and all I got was this stupid bag”
A stupid bag with a drawing of a KKK rally on it.
A stupid bag carrying a stupid bag, IMO. Did MAGA threaten her life unless she handed over the bounty to him, and she capitulated like everyone else does?
She wants T💩p to make her president of Venezuela, but it's not going to happen.
BOOM!
🤣🤣🤣
To some, this may come off as jealousy, but it's not about me, it's about other people I know. I just find it so infuriating that this asshole has always gotten everything he's ever wanted - and gotten it handed to him on a silver platter. He's never had to do anything to earn what he has, he's never worked hard in his life. Then he still has the nerve to complain about everything. On the other hand, I've known good, decent people who deserved better from life. I'm not saying they should have been filthy rich, or be president, and they wouldn't have wanted those things anyway. But they deserved better than what they got. They deserved to at least be able to live without struggling, without tragedy, without dying too soon. And then some arrogant, vain, nasty asshole like Trump just gets handed the best life has to offer and he can't appreciate it because he always wants more, he's never satisfied. Like the old saying, if you gave him the moon, he'd want the stars.
It pisses me off to no end that the nasty old motherfucker NEVER gets punished for a fuckin thing he does! Hell, if he gets fined, or has to pay a judgement, he just IGNORES it....and nobody does a damn thing. IT AIN'T RIGHT, DAMMIT
It’s a sociopath thing.
That Board of Peace shite has me rolling.
…and roiling!
…and tumbling.
He should have called it The Misistry of Peace to keep it in line with 1984....or was that the name for the war department? Too late, though. He's already committed to one name change, and it's cost millions.
There has been no name change of the Department of Defense. It requires an act of Congress.
I’m figuring he misspelled it. “Bored of Peace” is much more likely, yes? He does seem hell bent on getting us into a war one way or another.
I'm waiting for Dennis Kucinich to praise him to heaven in his next newsletter. Dennis was advocating for a Department of Peace decades ago, and when he left office, he said he was devoting himself to the cause of peace. However Dennis has gone off the deep end and it's hard to predict anymore what side of an issue he'll fall on. He was RFK Jr.'s campaign manager for a minute. He kissed Assad's ass. He's become kind of horseshoe but very twisted horseshoe.
Hmmm…Dennis Kucinich? Another person who I thought was dead. Maybe I’m living in a future timeline!
He keeps trying to find ways to be relevant. His latest newsletter was a lengthy piece about the important of being vegan.
How anyone can't see or admit what a pathetic little boy he is......it's beyond me. I would be fucking mortified beyond belief if a Dem ever did one-tenth of the cringey, lame-ass shit he does.
