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?
What I can say about Dean is a journalist who used to sports cast, and he has his connections. A lot of what he says I will search for other articles and sometime I don't see stuff covered the first day he does, sometimes I do. I started reading him because he covers Canada, and US and some other news. He has podcasts together with Zev Shalev, investigative journalist who used to produce news at CBS, and is growing his circle of Substack men and some women that he does podcasts with.
Jay Kuo has a great Substack that like “in my pants” helped - the predictability of all he says and sometimes does. Didn’t Germany send ships and troops to Greenland bc they know the US has no clue what it’s doing?
And to Jeff: the first thing I noticed was the MAGA uniform albeit with appropriate length ties. A few faces too of “WTF are we doing here. “. And anyone know how many of the players are immigrants?? Were they picked up after the ceremony like the workers at a MN Mexican restaurant where ICE had lunch at the end of their work day?
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'm really seriously hoping she had a copy made and what he has in that ugly gold frame is, oh, I don't know, a big hunk of chocolate shaped like the medal & wrapped in gold foil. Or something equally valueless. I'd love it.
Did you notice his new toupee is flat like a furry landing zone? I think the wig maker knew Trump would stiff him so he gave it that flat Frankenstein look.
I am glad the Panthers didn’t bring the actual trophy to the oval bordello because he would have taken it from them. However, the red tie, blue suit brigade looked like idiots. And I hope Machado gave him a gold plated copy of the prize or better yet a chocolate coin covered in gold foil.
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.
I’m hopeful, but dubious, as well Teri. Considering the long list destined for an oubliette, if he’s measured for the dirt nap before they’re pardoned.
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.
celeste, I think the US military is going to need to stand up to illegal orders and the US citizens will have to continue to protest in ever larger numbers and strike. I read that Minnesota is organizing a strike of people, including closing schools, etc for one day. Other states could participate. I would expect Blue States to back up the cause.
There's a walkout scheduled for this Tuesday, the 20th. And I have been calling for all military to oppose the on-going coup being perpetrated by the traitor-in-chief, and am ready to stand with them. It's going to take that kind of response. We must also protect our elections against the latest BS from him about 'not needing another election'. We must never let his fever dream occur.
Yes. In our Indivisible Bremen meeting here in Germany yesterday we discussed that we did not have time to organize a demonstration. Indivisible groups in Italy and another country have organized anti-ICE protests on the 20th, since we are not able to walk out of our jobs in Europe. I am retired, so I have not job to walk out of. Several of our Indivisible Bremen members are University Students at German Universities, where one is not required to attend classes anyway, so they are just going to try to do what they need to do to stay in Germany.
There is currently a discussion by Indivisible Abroad to focus on the Trump tariffs against Europe and organize a boycott against American products.
The hardest to boycott are the tech products, but more and more discussion is existing about how Europe becomes American tech free, or on control of things. I need to spend months transferring all my google mails and files to my non-US email. Same with microsoft, which has just updated itself in a way that I hate using it. Then, it is time to get rid of the mac and Iphone. My husband does not have an iphone, and he is looking into an alternative to his mac now that he is retired.

Also, tv German stations and other media are discussing this a lot. I think DW points out that of the major parties, the Far left (Die Linke) and the far right (AfD) do not support sending German troops, but for different reasons. While the AfD speaker just pish-tushes it, the Die Linke speaker is saying that one has to use diplomatic means and economic threats to defend Greenland. However, neither of those two discuss that Germany has a NATO treaty obligation to defend NATO allies, which is what got Germany into the Afghanistan and Iraqi wars. They were there as US allies. These are things Trump never acknowledges that because of US president Bush's lies many soldiers from allied countries died too.
Dean had a couple of rather amusing moments this week most of which centered around Lev! Carney is no dummy, that’s something we can’t say about our idiot in chief Linda. Thanks for including the news reels as well!
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.
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.
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.
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?
Yeah, that’s the nightmare scenario people picture—but ICE posted up at polling places is not “normal authority,” it’s illegal intimidation territory, and there are both federal and state laws that specifically block federal forces from doing just that.
What I *worry about more* is ICE doing “adjacent” fear tactics (high-visibility raids near communities, sowing misinformation, threats, and it creating a chilling effect). That’s easier for them to attempt—like they are doing now in Minneapolis—without getting instantly and easily slapped down.
And yeah — if we’re in Nov 2026 and they’re openly running Gestapo ops at polling sites with zero consequences… well then something happened to speed run it all in their direction somehow, and we’ve got a much bigger “constitutional breakdown” situation on our hands.
Why I don't give into the fear and see that happening?
Because.... America’s courts are one of the biggest load-bearing walls against a speed-run fascist takeover—not because they’re perfect, but because this country has *insane* friction: laws on laws, lawyers everywhere, and a million state/fed/local tripwires. Remember how "sue happy" America is?
That means everything turns into injunctions, jurisdiction fights, and compliance battles that slow even the worst actors down. The judicial is still holding. Its just the Supreme Court letting us down.
[Source for the laws I mentioned above just in case anyone wants to see it]
The next majority Dem congress needs to work on legislation allowing "do-over elections" in specific, extenuating circumstances. Like manufactured violence and intimidation on election day to prevent citizens from exercising their right to vote.
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.
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
Sure, there were and all of them in 2020 were on the right. They filed 63 cases and lost 62 1/2. The only thing they won was the right for elections observers to be closed to ballot counting, like 15 feet instead of 20. But that didn't impact the result. Biden still won.
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?
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 guess we all cope in different ways. Humor (gallows or otherwise) has been my favorite.
If I see someone in a threatening situation and I they react by laughing or smiling instead of getting angry, I think to myself, "there is a dangerous cat.'
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...
Actually the thing I want to discuss is Carolying Lievitt - I want some reporter to just come right out and ask her to her face, "How do you live with yourself?" And I want to be looking right at her face when they do.
I too would like to see it, but I doubt she would visibly flinch as she attacked the reporter viciously and self-righteously. She is full MAGA, no shame left in her.
Jeff - YOU are the perfect anti - Trump/anti - MAGA leader that we so desperately NEED - we need you to run for office and just well - be yourself!! I have a strong feeling that you have no interest in this idea - but I can dream, can’t I?
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.
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.
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
I've been thinking he'll rip it out of the frame and start wearing it around his neck, daily, from now on. What good does it do him to "have" it if he can't wave it around, show it off, 24/7?
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.
and for one of two reasons: she's afraid that he will have her arrested for *something* or she wants him to put her in charge. Yes, I'd say she may have thought he'd install her as president, but that's highly doubtful. So it's more than likely insurance that he won't have her arrested-- and, maybe, he will have some of her supporters released from prison. What a shit deal to have to make with that disgusting p.o.s. squatting in the W.H.
I am not familiar with her entire life experience, but this was one dumb move, and I would say the same thing if she were a man. What an embarrassment.
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! 🖕🖤
and his fucking family. because you know they are just waiting in the wings to take over for him. like the Kims. throw them all in jail. every last one.
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.
During #Bumblefuck's FIRST term as WH Squatter, a bunch of my friends from around the US - ferret owners & shelter operators - talked about sending GIFT-WRAPPED BOXES OF FERRET SHIT to the WH.
I would not want them to get in trouble for that. We need to make sure people are registered to vote, and make sure the vote happens. Then, plan B goes into effect if we can get back Congress.
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.
Which is EXACTLY the kind of shit he did throughout his entire childhood....beating up other kids, beating up a TEACHER, etc. He even tried to steal KNIVES from a store in Manhattan.
That's why his Mommy sent him to "military school" - she was finished trying to DEAL w/ his delinquent ass, & sent him AWAY.
Obviously, he learned NOTHING, since he's pulling the same shit today....but on a GLOBAL level.
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
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?
hey, they may have. or he had Hegseth threaten her. I definitely see it as her keeping him from arresting her or worse. this won't get her the presidency at all though. and all she got in return was a shitty bag of merch.
yeah....a bag, with his signature on it, and probably some shitty merch . What kind of president hands out merch to another political leader? that's so damn tacky and petty. as if he were something more than a what he really is -- a pathetic p.o.s. with way too much power.
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.
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.
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.
me too! wtf is that supposed to be? some made up board to award him another prize?? probably. give him some kind of U.S. World Domination Peace Prize.....while his goons murder people in his own country, and he plots all sorts of other chaos all over the place.
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.
Actually, his wife Elizabeth wrote the latest one which is weird, because when I saw them at Vegfest, an event put on by the Cleveland Vegan Society, I asked her if she was a vegan too (Dennis was the first vegan I ever knew) and she goes, "Oh no! Not me!"
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.”
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?
I like that phrasing - a dictator you can count on. It makes sense. At least then you know what you're dealing with.
A Dictator You Can Count On needs to be made into a jingle. Come on Colbert!
Or perhaps better still, Randy Rainbow? :-)
Ooooh, Randy!
Although, ya know, Colbert can actually sing pretty well. Hmmm, not sure who gets the most coverage. Heh, how 'bout one of each? :-)
You made me burst out laughing😂
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
Chris, here is the Dean Blundell piece.
https://open.substack.com/pub/deanblundell/p/maga-killer-mark-carney-just-rewired?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web
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?
What I can say about Dean is a journalist who used to sports cast, and he has his connections. A lot of what he says I will search for other articles and sometime I don't see stuff covered the first day he does, sometimes I do. I started reading him because he covers Canada, and US and some other news. He has podcasts together with Zev Shalev, investigative journalist who used to produce news at CBS, and is growing his circle of Substack men and some women that he does podcasts with.
I’m a fan of Zev as well Linda, I’ve found Dean to be entertaining in his podcast mostly, he spends a lot of “chat” time is curious.
Blundell is rock solid.
Blundell seems pretty much on the level, and is a pretty good writer to boot.
I love Dean. The Canadian take gives me hope.
It's better than a madman with dementia any day.
Jay Kuo has a great Substack that like “in my pants” helped - the predictability of all he says and sometimes does. Didn’t Germany send ships and troops to Greenland bc they know the US has no clue what it’s doing?
And to Jeff: the first thing I noticed was the MAGA uniform albeit with appropriate length ties. A few faces too of “WTF are we doing here. “. And anyone know how many of the players are immigrants?? Were they picked up after the ceremony like the workers at a MN Mexican restaurant where ICE had lunch at the end of their work day?
Joan, here is my piece on Germany sending ships, before they sent troops.
https://lindaweide.substack.com/p/germany-sends-ships-to-greenland?r=f0qfn
Now they have sent troops to join in Arctic exercises of NATO countries. I see the US is not involved in this.
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...
Or he'll say he should have gotten it and he's finally glad that he did. Something absurd.
That actually makes sense Frosty!
Like that Purple Heart he was 'awarded'.
I'm really seriously hoping she had a copy made and what he has in that ugly gold frame is, oh, I don't know, a big hunk of chocolate shaped like the medal & wrapped in gold foil. Or something equally valueless. I'd love it.
He says he "won" Minnesota 3 times, so you are probably right.
Or respond, "Quiet, Piggy."
For myself, I don't need to hear him say that to hope someone clobbers him.
Amen, Sistah! I had exactly the same thought.
Repeatedly, and with great power behind it.
Yarp. His face just screams, hit me
Did you notice his new toupee is flat like a furry landing zone? I think the wig maker knew Trump would stiff him so he gave it that flat Frankenstein look.
I was thinking it was some "Hair Club for Men" action, involving glue. Less likely to blow in the wind like some photos he hates.
I am glad the Panthers didn’t bring the actual trophy to the oval bordello because he would have taken it from them. However, the red tie, blue suit brigade looked like idiots. And I hope Machado gave him a gold plated copy of the prize or better yet a chocolate coin covered in gold foil.
Giant left over Hanukkah gelt!! 😂🤣
We know that boast is coming Jan, any thoughts on who might carry out the clobber?
I'm thinking about it. Preferably someone with a machete.
I like your style Jan!
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.
I don't think about what it will be like in a year anymore but what it will be like in 24 hours.

And I wonder if I’ll live to see the end of the horror story. The advantage of being old???
I’m hopeful, but dubious, as well Teri. Considering the long list destined for an oubliette, if he’s measured for the dirt nap before they’re pardoned.
Every one of them, if they're smart.
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.
celeste, I think the US military is going to need to stand up to illegal orders and the US citizens will have to continue to protest in ever larger numbers and strike. I read that Minnesota is organizing a strike of people, including closing schools, etc for one day. Other states could participate. I would expect Blue States to back up the cause.
There's a walkout scheduled for this Tuesday, the 20th. And I have been calling for all military to oppose the on-going coup being perpetrated by the traitor-in-chief, and am ready to stand with them. It's going to take that kind of response. We must also protect our elections against the latest BS from him about 'not needing another election'. We must never let his fever dream occur.
Yes. In our Indivisible Bremen meeting here in Germany yesterday we discussed that we did not have time to organize a demonstration. Indivisible groups in Italy and another country have organized anti-ICE protests on the 20th, since we are not able to walk out of our jobs in Europe. I am retired, so I have not job to walk out of. Several of our Indivisible Bremen members are University Students at German Universities, where one is not required to attend classes anyway, so they are just going to try to do what they need to do to stay in Germany.
There is currently a discussion by Indivisible Abroad to focus on the Trump tariffs against Europe and organize a boycott against American products.
The hardest to boycott are the tech products, but more and more discussion is existing about how Europe becomes American tech free, or on control of things. I need to spend months transferring all my google mails and files to my non-US email. Same with microsoft, which has just updated itself in a way that I hate using it. Then, it is time to get rid of the mac and Iphone. My husband does not have an iphone, and he is looking into an alternative to his mac now that he is retired.

That is an anniversary to celebrate!

"How many other countries are going to follow in Carney's footsteps?" All of them, Katie!
Robert, I don't believe other countries will march on the US. However, there are countries preparing to fight in Greenland.
Germany is there now, I’m pretty sure.
Here is a DW report in English.
https://www.dw.com/en/germany-sends-troops-to-greenland-for-symbolic-nato-mission/video-75544825
Also, tv German stations and other media are discussing this a lot. I think DW points out that of the major parties, the Far left (Die Linke) and the far right (AfD) do not support sending German troops, but for different reasons. While the AfD speaker just pish-tushes it, the Die Linke speaker is saying that one has to use diplomatic means and economic threats to defend Greenland. However, neither of those two discuss that Germany has a NATO treaty obligation to defend NATO allies, which is what got Germany into the Afghanistan and Iraqi wars. They were there as US allies. These are things Trump never acknowledges that because of US president Bush's lies many soldiers from allied countries died too.
Well dug sentiment Robert.
The Devil you know…
Dean had a couple of rather amusing moments this week most of which centered around Lev! Carney is no dummy, that’s something we can’t say about our idiot in chief Linda. Thanks for including the news reels as well!
No Carney is no dummy.
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.
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 buried my last fuck years ago 😎
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.
lol
No! We can run out?! Fuuuuuck in my best “Roy Kent” (“Ted Lasso”.)
When reading the Insurrection act, the title 10 sections appear to show a legal quagmire where courts will be involved… our courts…today’s courts???
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
Yeah, that’s the nightmare scenario people picture—but ICE posted up at polling places is not “normal authority,” it’s illegal intimidation territory, and there are both federal and state laws that specifically block federal forces from doing just that.
What I *worry about more* is ICE doing “adjacent” fear tactics (high-visibility raids near communities, sowing misinformation, threats, and it creating a chilling effect). That’s easier for them to attempt—like they are doing now in Minneapolis—without getting instantly and easily slapped down.
And yeah — if we’re in Nov 2026 and they’re openly running Gestapo ops at polling sites with zero consequences… well then something happened to speed run it all in their direction somehow, and we’ve got a much bigger “constitutional breakdown” situation on our hands.
Why I don't give into the fear and see that happening?
Because.... America’s courts are one of the biggest load-bearing walls against a speed-run fascist takeover—not because they’re perfect, but because this country has *insane* friction: laws on laws, lawyers everywhere, and a million state/fed/local tripwires. Remember how "sue happy" America is?
That means everything turns into injunctions, jurisdiction fights, and compliance battles that slow even the worst actors down. The judicial is still holding. Its just the Supreme Court letting us down.

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.
The next majority Dem congress needs to work on legislation allowing "do-over elections" in specific, extenuating circumstances. Like manufactured violence and intimidation on election day to prevent citizens from exercising their right to vote.
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.
For your perusal, George. From my reading, Gail is correct.

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.
Inference-based reality is still 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
• Risk-limiting audits / hand recount validation
• Tabulator logs + chain-of-custody transparency

And you know this how?
Couldn't there be state election deniers in place?
Sure, there were and all of them in 2020 were on the right. They filed 63 cases and lost 62 1/2. The only thing they won was the right for elections observers to be closed to ballot counting, like 15 feet instead of 20. But that didn't impact the result. Biden still won.
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!
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?
I took care of it for you Jeff, but its only 10% of my article, the rest is as positive bend as I have in me today to write.
Nice "meeting" you today.... please keep doing what you're doing
Much welcome , our lives are fun and yet emotional
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.
Are you sure that all the new bylines are humans?
Lots O'Luck in stopping Washington State, too. Homie don't play that fascist shit up here.
Oregon too -- but it's not the blue states we need to be worried about.
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!
RELEASE THE COUNTRY FROM YOUR INSANITIES!
Just die, already. That'd work for me.
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.) 🤪
I just can't either. Some of this shit, no matter how you slice it, just isn't funny. 👍
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 guess we all cope in different ways. Humor (gallows or otherwise) has been my favorite.
If I see someone in a threatening situation and I they react by laughing or smiling instead of getting angry, I think to myself, "there is a dangerous cat.'
It really can be both at the same time.
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...
Humor is taking a hard right to horror.
If everyone would just imagine this whenever the dipshit talks, it would be a nicer place.

Thank you for a great laugh - in my pants.
Actually the thing I want to discuss is Carolying Lievitt - I want some reporter to just come right out and ask her to her face, "How do you live with yourself?" And I want to be looking right at her face when they do.
I too would like to see it, but I doubt she would visibly flinch as she attacked the reporter viciously and self-righteously. She is full MAGA, no shame left in her.
We can write it in the prison library, Jeff.
In your mommas pants maybe.
I think I just laughed. Thank you. Been doing baby steps with humor....
Oh babies are the funniest thing to laugh at
Jeff - YOU are the perfect anti - Trump/anti - MAGA leader that we so desperately NEED - we need you to run for office and just well - be yourself!! I have a strong feeling that you have no interest in this idea - but I can dream, can’t I?
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 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?
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.
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.
“What is narcissistic personality disorder?
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
The tempting morsel of power is just too enticing to give up to some people.
And her daughter's pet goat for being smelly.
So if we think she's smelly, do we get to shoot HER? Sheesh. It's the human's job to keep their animals clean.
“Must…have…SUGAR WATER!”
Maybe all the fillers are to keep her human skin suit in tact, and not reveal her true form underneath…
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
No one wants her!
Unity in Defiance, that was my experience in the Navy too.
That's assuming drumpf pays them at all
because we know how good he is at stiffing those he believes are beneath him. Lord knows he doesn't think anyone serving under him has any value.
Agree 100%
IDK, he's pretty fond of Laura Loony.
He will not pay a cent but will tell them they owe him for the pardons.
Yep
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.
Oh, good insight!
👍👍
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.
We need to insist that ICE be disbanded. It only exists since 2003 someone pointed out. Before that the US survived fine without them.
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.)
I've been thinking he'll rip it out of the frame and start wearing it around his neck, daily, from now on. What good does it do him to "have" it if he can't wave it around, show it off, 24/7?
Oh yeah, probably! 🤡👉🥇
Yup, exactly.
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!!! 😂😂😂😂
Psych! They don't get paid until Donny is gone!
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.
A job where you get to abuse people without consequences? Golden!
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.
and for one of two reasons: she's afraid that he will have her arrested for *something* or she wants him to put her in charge. Yes, I'd say she may have thought he'd install her as president, but that's highly doubtful. So it's more than likely insurance that he won't have her arrested-- and, maybe, he will have some of her supporters released from prison. What a shit deal to have to make with that disgusting p.o.s. squatting in the W.H.
https://anntelnaes.substack.com/p/maria-corina-machado-presents-her
perfect !
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.
Who knows? Maybe he threatened her and her family, just like a mafia thug.
100%
What is it with stupid women?
I am not familiar with her entire life experience, but this was one dumb move, and I would say the same thing if she were a man. What an embarrassment.
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
76% of the German people not trusting Trump, is not winning the respect of the people around the world, Sharon.
It's called "irony."
👏👏👏👏
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! 🖕🖤
and his fucking family. because you know they are just waiting in the wings to take over for him. like the Kims. throw them all in jail. every last one.
Where’s the Jewish space laser when we really need it.

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.

Golden Covered Cat Poop, shaped to look like chocolates I hope!
During #Bumblefuck's FIRST term as WH Squatter, a bunch of my friends from around the US - ferret owners & shelter operators - talked about sending GIFT-WRAPPED BOXES OF FERRET SHIT to the WH.
Might be a good time to carry that out....🤔🤣
I would not want them to get in trouble for that. We need to make sure people are registered to vote, and make sure the vote happens. Then, plan B goes into effect if we can get back Congress.
With kaopectate in them
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.
Reeer! 🙀
She’s desperate to have me stop muttering obscenities..
Cats are like that..🐈
😂😂
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”
You have one rare boy there. 🐱 Our girl is kinda nuts!
my cat would never
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.
Which is EXACTLY the kind of shit he did throughout his entire childhood....beating up other kids, beating up a TEACHER, etc. He even tried to steal KNIVES from a store in Manhattan.
That's why his Mommy sent him to "military school" - she was finished trying to DEAL w/ his delinquent ass, & sent him AWAY.
Obviously, he learned NOTHING, since he's pulling the same shit today....but on a GLOBAL level.
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.
If anything it will keep her out of prison and maybe get some of her important supporters released. but it sure ain't going to get her the presidency.
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
One of those times when I fervently wish I believed in Hell.
I know exactly how you feel😉👍
It’s a sociopath thing.
“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.
hey, they may have. or he had Hegseth threaten her. I definitely see it as her keeping him from arresting her or worse. this won't get her the presidency at all though. and all she got in return was a shitty bag of merch.
BOOM!
yeah....a bag, with his signature on it, and probably some shitty merch . What kind of president hands out merch to another political leader? that's so damn tacky and petty. as if he were something more than a what he really is -- a pathetic p.o.s. with way too much power.
🤣🤣🤣
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!
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.
he's not dumb, but he is nasty, petty and weak, with all too much power. no one that nasty, petty and weak should have any power at all.
he is dumb . dumb as a post .
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.
That Board of Peace shite has me rolling.
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.
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.
me too! wtf is that supposed to be? some made up board to award him another prize?? probably. give him some kind of U.S. World Domination Peace Prize.....while his goons murder people in his own country, and he plots all sorts of other chaos all over the place.
none of this will ever be enough for him.
…and roiling!
…and tumbling.
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.
oh poor Dennis. he's gone 'round the bend for sure.
Actually, his wife Elizabeth wrote the latest one which is weird, because when I saw them at Vegfest, an event put on by the Cleveland Vegan Society, I asked her if she was a vegan too (Dennis was the first vegan I ever knew) and she goes, "Oh no! Not me!"
wow, that’s weird!
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.”
A Ryder truck comes in handy.
