I agree. We can't be too careful. And a law should be considered that none of his spawn can win any political office. His name should be pried off and erased everywhere.
I thought we were saving those for goebbels/nosferatu? We'll assuredly require them for THAT horrid little goblin. Just about anything roaming around his fat-filled veins will take out demento one of these days. I do so love my fellow New Yorkers when they express how 'I' feel. Aaah. i won't throw a party. I'll smile nicely at my magat neighbour, wish her a nice day, then sit by the pool (when it's finally opened), dozing and dreaming of a better future for all of us. Maybe I'll even go IN the water this year, LOL. For Jeff: I SO LOVE Claudia's photos with her best sister/friend. I'm the one who always took the photos of my own best friend so don't have these kinds of photos - much to my infinite regret. :'( . MORE Claudia...MORE Katie and MORE you, Jeff. Im SO glad the three of you were/are all good photographers.
It would be truly epic if the Obama's showed up to show their "respects". They are such a class act that they might actually do it. Also, it would be the best troll ever.
But wouldn't mean sleeping near his grave for the night? I mean, I don't want you getting lost on your way there. (You have my sympathies; even we women get up more often than we used to.)
$5 for a pee, $3 for a spit, $1 to give him the finger and insult him. Cash only and donate all the proceeds to something he would hate: Southern Poverty Law Center, the ACLU, NAACP, and National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC), maybe even some worthy candidates on the left. Also someone could put the procession on Pay per View. Might be kind of calming for people to watch. Put it to music. Springsteen might be nice.
NOOOOOO! HE MUST BE DUMPED OVERBOARD LIKE OSAMA BIN LADEN.
No place for his faithful to make into a shrine for a martyr. . Smartest thing Obama ever did. I used to watch my favorite CIA spy show "Homeland" and they had an OBL character called Abu Nazir and assassinated him and did the same thing. Showed them preparing the body, wrapping it like a mummy then....MAN OVERBOARD. 🐋 🚢 (It was chilling and satisfying at the same time). This human pestilence can't possibly think he's getting Arlington and an eternal flame 🕯🙄
He lies every time he opens his mouth. Just lay him out with his anus mouth open and have lots of Glade air freshener in the rotunda for that rotund fuck.
He already looks like Henry VIII right before he exploded in his coffin. But just because the country is severely cursed, he'll carry on another 2.5 years.
That was William the Bastard, or William the Conqueror, whichever. People all left his body where it was when he died, so it lay there and swelled, and finally a few days later some monks had to stuff him into his coffin. Parts of him exploded.
I was wrong. I know that happened with the Bastard, but I hadn't heard that about Henry VIII. He did explode, or at least release built up gasses very loudly. Actually, it probably happened a lot back then, given the need for observing so many post-mortem rituals and the lack of any knowledge of embalming.
I had to Google AI about that story too -- "King Henry VIII’s corpse allegedly exploded in its coffin in 1547 due to a gruesome buildup of putrefaction gasses, though many modern historians consider the story a mix of fact and exaggerated Tudor-era propaganda."
Trump is greater than HVIII because he's leaking putrefaction pre-death.
Um....not to be really gross, but HVIII was leaking putrefaction for quite some time before his death. His badly ulcerated leg had to be swathed in bandages to...uh...contain it. I'll refrain from going into further detail.
64% of Mormons voted for Trump. Utah's Mormon Senators voted to confirm Kegsbreath. Another episode in the never-ending series -"I didn't think that the leopards would eat MY face!"
I agree on Mike Lee. I happen to live in the same neighborhood that Barack Obama does when he is in Chicago. My Mormon neighbors are not Trump supporters. In fact, where we just sold our house, we lived in a Mormon enclave of "progressive" Mormons. That is couples who married across color. Families with gay children who did not do missions. In fact, one family became atheist, and the family they sold their house has the children drawing on the sidewalk in chalk against Trump. Our local Mormon church has been very involved in the Interfaith support of our local refugee project, Hyde Park Refugee Project.
So all Mormons are not cut from the same cloth. I wonder how many of their children will leave the church. Given the cost of University in the US, and the fact that they only pay 7% of the tuition at BYU, I think they will keep going.
Look at the list of Partners and Friends. You will see The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Hyde Park.
Why were they called that? By the way, my community also houses the Catholic Church and Catholic Theological Seminary that the current Pope was a part of. There is a strong interfaith gathering culture and community. The neighborhood also has a few seminaries such as U of Chicago, Catholic, Lutheran and there might be others.
Hyde Park has Mormons? Where? I know KAM Isaiah Israel is across from the Obamas' house and they have just completed a major renovation. I attended First Unitarian from 5th-12th grade, which is kind of the polar opposite of Mormons. So I would not know where to find Mormons in Hyde Park
I know where the First Unitarian church is as well. My daughter had ballet in there among other places, as well as the Baptist Church. A couple of our Mormon neighbors worked at the University. In fact one couple, where he is a Sociology prof and she is a lawyer, they are the Resident heads of the Dorms on 55th and University. They moved there with their two youngest, both of whom I taught, after their 2 oldest were in University. Another Mormon neighbor is a children's book author. She came and did a workshop with my class.
Didn't the Mormon church, or someone formerly in a significant office in the church, publish a letter against the felon in 2024? I don't think I'm misremembering. & I don't think it was Romney.
There should not be a list at all. If churches are going to get all political, and some are making zillions of grifter dollars, why are they still getting a tax break/exemption? They should get some tax breaks for charitable donations that benefit their communities and so forth but not a free ride. Joel Osteen comes to mind.
I think the purpose of the religions list was for assigning military chaplains, for example, a Presbyterian minister could be ok for other Protestant denominations, however, since this administration, and Pete Kegstand in particular, could fuck up a one-car funeral, it was handled in the most ham-fisted, tone-deaf way possible.
I don't think that was it. All chaplains are supposed to counsel all troops which is why Hegseth also ordered chaplains to stop using psychology and start spouting bible verses.
1,000,000%. Churches are big business. Tax any that draw in more than a million per collection plate. People paying not to go to Hell. Really? Thinks that's going to work? Pshaw!
Not all churches. The vast majority are very small and direct their money to community missions such as hot meals. And they operate on a shoestring. They're very far from the megachurches that tend to be the most overtly political.
Yeah, that's a thing. Know a Vietnam-era SEAL who was born Unitarian (pre-unification) in California (think squared-away hippie, man). He had Unitarian on his tags and got to meet with a dedicated Unitarian minister on an aircraft carrier.
Can't be having that kind of America-hating Satanist Antifa subversion in Pete's military. Nossir.
The Church of Satan has been making inroads into humanist circles. Their message is a clear morality based on respect and kindness to people. They do blood drives, charity funding events, community cleanup gigs. Making the Fundies look bad.
Yes, Mr Mild! What about the UUs! Unitarianism was good enough for John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and Paul Revere, but apparently not for Kegsbreath’s Dept of Warmongering.
They were eliminated. That's my childhood church: First Unitarian of Chicago. Also, most of the Founding Fathers were what we would consider Unitarians today. Most didn't believe in the divinity of Jesus.
Well they were never off. What Secretary of War Crimes Hegseth did was declare other denominations as "Christian" but NOT the Mormons (who very much consider themselves to be Christian). They've now removed that marker.
Only after Mike Lee cried and whined to trump. It sure does suck when the exclusion applies to YOUR religion, Mike. Could that maybe help you empathize a bit for the others who were taken off the list? Nah…me, me, me.
Yeah. MAGA Mike Lee felt for one microsecond how it felt to be excluded for a change. I used to work with a girl whose husband got transferred for work to Salt Lake City. She said it was hell not being Mormon. They practice their own special form of bigotry there. If you aren’t Mormon, you ain’t shit. That was back in the day. It may be different now but yeah, so glad he got a taste of his own bigotry.
How did people dumb enough to take Trump's words seriously, even after all the times they've been faked out before, get enough money to be serious investors and move the stock market averages???
The rich friends are the ones who take money from the chumps who bid up the stocks and lose all that money. I am wondering how the chumps got to have enough money to be able to move the markets when they are so clueless about how this works even when they've had their noses rubbed in it so many times before.
Most of them are unaware their 401(k)s are being whipped around. The insider stuff is likely the “advisors” who weren’t appointed to anything official or Senate confirmed and family members. Takes a lot of cash to buy off Albanian officials and get to fuck over an island.
No, they can't ALL make a profit: the people who cash in are taking money from others. The people who buy to make the prices all go up before Trump crashes the market all lose the money that the short-sellers get. There needs to be a large population of very rich but invincibly stupid marks, and I don't see how the marks got to be rich enough to have money worth ripping off.
I thought he bought standing room. Of course he's half Trump's age and probably doesn't live on fast food and take a golf cart if he has to walk more than ten feet.
And unlike the pos narcoleptic sociopath who was relentlessly booed and almost universally hated by the NY crowd (although his delusions told him otherwise) Mamdani was met with widespread cheering from a crowd that was genuinely happy to see him there.
Nothing, other than Donnie has started to drag around his 18-year-old granddaughter, because apparently Ivanka is getting too old. Other than being so very creepy, it's par for Donnie's course.
Actually, many feminists stopped picking on Ivanka when they saw a documentary with Ivanka, where she showed them around her home, and then became weird when she walked into her own childhood bedroom.
In brighter news, Mayor Mamdani opened up Bryant Park for a watch party for the people, so he was Hero of the Day yesterday. (He's *always* a hero imo!) :)
Liddle Marco is hijacking more Catholic Charities donations around the Cuban government for dying Cuban Children. Phony fuck is making the inhumane State Department look humane. Hate that greasy Liddle Cuban fuck.
Jeff, we can all look forward to the news from Judge Kathleen Williams' court on June 12. Read her order to reopen the "Trump Family Magic Settlement" and determine whether Attorney General Blanche and the DOJ conspired with Trump's attorneys and used Trump's frivolous lawsuit to commit fraud. She is pissed off!
"Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Plaintiffs shall file a response
to the Motion (DE 63) on or before June 12, 2026, detailing their position on the matters
set forth in the Motion, including (1) the charges of collusion and whether the Parties are
truly adverse; (2) the assertion that the dismissal in this case was premised on deception
by the Parties; and (3) the question of whether the case should be reopened because the
Court was the “victim of a fraud.”"
Sure looks like Blanche and Trump perpetrated a fraudulent conveyance of $1.7 Billion of taxpayer money and granted Trump immunity from criminal tax evasion. Nice trick! But they are not going to get away with it.
Uncle Jeff, the only big new we are waiting for is the BIG BEAUTIFUL OBITUARY, and not to worry. When the Reaper comes, the amount of joy will be thunderous, from sea to shining sea! No way will you need a phone nor will you miss it.
I love your pictures of Claudia! I hope this makes sense. We read articles and posts without being able to see the people behind the story. I think we all love your story. Thank you for sharing.
"...because deep down inside, Dear Leader knows that he’ll never be as admired as the black man whose accomplishments he’s trying to hard to destroy." Bingo👍🏼👌🏼🍸
And he’s arriving at Mamdani territory. Trump may not ever soak in how much he’s hated, but every supporter knows their demise is closing in. That’s why ivanka is trying to but the new family hide out in Albania.
The island is lovely! The model for what they want to do with it is, truly, grotesque. Complete destruction. Apparently the current president, who was once a liberal democrat, is siding with the kushies -- against the fury of the majority of the Alof Albanian citizens.
Knicks owner James Dolan invited him. Screwed over his own team and fans for Donny. Any idiot could have predicted what would happen and the chaos he'd create but Dolan didn't care. Not enough people are blaming him for this atrocity.
Whoever the NBA commissioner is--I accidentally tuned in to some pre-game show last night (not a basketball fan, although I am now a fan of NY basketball fans) and caught him fawning over Donnie Demento's upcoming attendance. I do know of Charles Barkley, who was sitting at the end of the lineup of talking heads, and I hereby give Sir Charles the coveted I Will Kill You With My Laser Eyes Award. I'm pretty sure I heard some popping and sizzling noises and saw some smoke tendrils curling up from the commish's chair.
I tried to find a video of that pre-game show with Charles Barkley and all the search results were about a wild comment/joke he made about Cardi B. Sigh!
I don't watch basketball, so I don't know if the show had a name: the vibe I got was that it was the regular pre-game show; I only saw Laser Eyes because, according to what someone else on the show said, it had been playing on ESPN and then the broadcast moved to ABC, where I happened to be just at the moment.
He is the cause and now must carry the curse that has descended on the Knicks franchise. There’s a really good reason the team hasn’t been in the finals for 50 years and it rests on Dolans mismanagement, what assholes do yet still make money.
Jeff, don't let the naysayers keep you down. I love the Daily Claudia. It's proof of a life well lived and a love that spanned decades. And in these shitty days, it's good to see that still exists.
I lived in NJ most of my life and was a big cyclist there. We hated him in NJ too and when a group of other cyclists i rode with cycled by his golf motel in Bedminster with his name on it, everyone on the pace line gave it/him the finger. And that was way before he was elected and started to bankrupt the country, destroy our democracy and spread worldwide suffering.
Is there a possibility that he actually enjoys this, getting booed while causing chaos in the city. We know he comes out net positive for psychotic malignant narcissism so think of the supervillain seething inside while planning destruction.
Yes, I agree.ANY attention , be it positive or negative, it doesn’t matter.It is attention.That’s all that a malignant narcissist pig like Donnie FF requires.
I don’t believe narcissism absorbs negative thoughts They flourish when given any attention. Until the mics go dead and the cameras disappear we will suffer the slings of Sir Crap
I think it is so: he's also a sadist, and I think he truly enjoys inflicting misery on the American people; last night was yet another of his moments when he got to flaunt his untouchable power and superiority. He demonstrated this when he sneered at the question addressed to him regarding the obscenely overpriced tickets to the game--Marie Antoinette must've been giving him props from beyond the grave.
It's more that he does not believe or disbelieve things like other people, because he has no sense of truth or falsity, only of what is convenient to say for the sake of his self-image, with no concern about whether that is even consistent with what was convenient for him to say a few minutes ago.
He knows whatever he says gets repeated by the mainstream press without any pushback or fact checking (most of the time, give it time). He has the power to make his own reality and impose it upon the masses this way (in his demented mind).
The more he disrupts the little people's lives the more he fucking loves it. It's all he lives for. Well that and stealing billions from us and the treasury.
Well, given his delusions of grandeur and rotting brain he may really believe he received cheers rather than the music to my ears booing. It is mind boggling to hear his response to the reporter in one of the clips above.
A good point. I think he gets enormous pleasure knowing fully well the chaos he would cause in Manhattan and loving every minute. Did u see the smirk on him when they booed? It said sticks & stones but I don’t give a fuck. You all have to endure me, like it or not. I win. The booing helped people feel better but the recipient couldn’t give a shit. He knows he has the power. He might have even told the secret service to increase the security. I would think the pleasure was all his. Are you sure you know who you are dealing with here??
He loves inflicting pain on others and getting away with it scot free. He is one truly sick and deranged individual - if only everyone could see and understand that.
He hears what he wants to hear. In his narcissistic brain he hears nothing but cheers, stupid fucker. To be honest though, he didn’t look too happy sitting there in his fart box. Oh well, I do feel bad for the guy sitting beside him.
I don’t agree, Lisa. He hears the boos. Loud and clear and knows he won because he hurt New Yorkers. That’s where he gets off. Then a whiny victim Voice in front of the media saying they cheered. He has us all wrapped up. The more pain, the more joy. He can be very pleased with himself.
Wow, that look at the Vegas lights happening on the Thunderdome? Now I want to see a carnival on the White House lawn. Big Ferris wheel visible from the other side of the White House. Tilt-a-Whirl. Funhouse mirrors where everyone can see what they'd look like in too-big Florsheims.
The UFC just signed an agreement with the State Department, backed by taxpayers' funding, to take this stupid show global. To share fine American "culture" abroad. The nightmare is becoming non-ephemeral.
OMG they really want us all to feel like we're losing our grip on reality. Psychological warfare on the people of the USA by these unelected election-stealers.
Trump & his enablers will say he had the biggest crowds ever cheering his arrival. I’m so glad we are witnessing mass rejection & revulsion of the criminal cabal occupying our White House and desecrating it daily!
But anyway! Love the knicks fans and every booing individual out there!! ♥️
The online MAGA copium this morning over seeing the Orange AssWipe get booed to the moon and back is something to behold. The Knicks loss last night will go down as another example of the First Law of Political Dynamics: ETTD.
Orange Jabba is the living (sort of) embodiment of where Fun goes to die. Although I must admit to a vicarious thrill watching James Dolan crop-dusted and serenaded with the dulcet tunes and noxious fumes of Diet Coke-inflected fecal aerosols. Talk about your FRAGRANT foul. Has there even been a more apt metaphor of Baron Buzzkill ruining things for tens of thousands of Knick fans? Unable to post here but I urge everyone to check-out the upcoming cover of The New Yorker. I may actually frame my copy.
today in Shit That Happened While I Was Busy Writing This Shit—
I don't have one. after I finished writing, I cleared the notifications on my phone without remembering to look.
so tell me, everyone, what did I miss?
Nothing.
You already know jeff.
He's failing in health.
He's dying.
I wish he would just hurry up.
I wonder who will go to the funeral.
I wonder who will throw the biggest party.
I think youll feel the entire country breathe a sigh of relief all at once.
The entire world!
Oh, Boy! The parties will go on for days.
YES and that SOUND we'll collectively make, Wendy - will be one for the books!
Michelle O might actually go. Not to pay respects, mind you, because he isn’t worthy of that. But she might want to confirm that he is truly dead.
I would need that confirmation -- how about a stake to the heart, too, just to be on the safe side?
Wooden stake, silver bullet, wreath of garlic, holy water - all of it.
I mean that would surely do the job.
Adamantium bullet maybe?
Is holy water part of that ritual?
Chains wrapped around the coffin just to be 100% sure there is no escape.
In Serbia somebody did dig up Slobodan Milosevic to pound a stake through his heart-- just making sure!
They'll stuff him and gold plate his fat ass.
Remove that pumpkin head....
The Smithsonian could use it to draw crowds. Sort of a geek exhibit like they do in cheap carnivals. Bearded ladies,lobster boy etc.
I agree. We can't be too careful. And a law should be considered that none of his spawn can win any political office. His name should be pried off and erased everywhere.
I thought we were saving those for goebbels/nosferatu? We'll assuredly require them for THAT horrid little goblin.

Im SO glad the three of you were/are all good photographers.
Takes giant foot long hat pin and stabs him with it 5 times. Leaves it in his groin. I would go to see that.
Hell, Melania would probably loan her the hat pin.
It would be truly epic if the Obama's showed up to show their "respects". They are such a class act that they might actually do it. Also, it would be the best troll ever.
And shows up wearing a Hawaiian shirt, shorts, and flip flops
No: a tan suit!
That will be Ted "Cancun" Cruz. "Heidi and I came to pay our respects on the way to Mexico" 😂
And the Bidens should go with them.
HAHA!
👆 this
They will, I'm sure!
Like the Irish said when Thatcher died, "Fire the 21 gun salute directly into the coffin...just to be sure he's dead."
she has better things to do. like crack open a bottle if Dom and party hard.
FOTF!
🫢
I wouldnt go, but I would pay money to watch someone pee on his casket (because you know someone wants to).
How much? Asking for a friend.
I'd do it for free.
I would wear a pretty dress without underwear, and then quickly squat and pee on his grave. Or not so quickly.
I could do it at night because I have to get up to pee three or four times anyway..
But wouldn't mean sleeping near his grave for the night? I mean, I don't want you getting lost on your way there. (You have my sympathies; even we women get up more often than we used to.)
Good one!
The line will stretch to LA.
$5 for a pee, $3 for a spit, $1 to give him the finger and insult him. Cash only and donate all the proceeds to something he would hate: Southern Poverty Law Center, the ACLU, NAACP, and National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC), maybe even some worthy candidates on the left. Also someone could put the procession on Pay per View. Might be kind of calming for people to watch. Put it to music. Springsteen might be nice.
I'll do it gratis....
Ill stand behind you, 10000%
NOOOOOO! HE MUST BE DUMPED OVERBOARD LIKE OSAMA BIN LADEN.
No place for his faithful to make into a shrine for a martyr. . Smartest thing Obama ever did. I used to watch my favorite CIA spy show "Homeland" and they had an OBL character called Abu Nazir and assassinated him and did the same thing. Showed them preparing the body, wrapping it like a mummy then....MAN OVERBOARD. 🐋 🚢 (It was chilling and satisfying at the same time). This human pestilence can't possibly think he's getting Arlington and an eternal flame 🕯🙄
I'd be a waste of good piss
I will be dancing in the street.
I'll be doing pirouette with my wheelchair.
So will I. I’ve already chosen the music. Lizzie and the Triggermen singing Irving Berlin’s “When That Man is Dead and Gone.”
I just hope every living president and Dem in office boycotts that fuckfest.
I wonder if he'll get to lie in state...ugh.
I've wondered the same thing. Sadly it wouldn't be the first time MAGA shit has defiled our Capitol.
He lies every time he opens his mouth. Just lay him out with his anus mouth open and have lots of Glade air freshener in the rotunda for that rotund fuck.
It would be fitting if his older kids had him buried next to their mom.
Remember even dead he'll be leaking...
Undoubtedly, unless he goes to prison or flees to Russia.
😂🤣😂
Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, Orban and Bibi.
Probably the Kirk Widow, in skin tight pleather.
Lol! Amd dabbing her tears at her false eyelashes.
I wont go to his funeral but I will pay $5.00 to piss on his grave
Not I said the mouse‼️
dig up ivana?
The only way we can salvage this 250th BD is if he dies at 12:01 am on July 4.
What a party that would be. A true celebration of the birth our country.
re-birth.
Linda, I would prefer that happens at 11:59pm july 3rd. I don’t want him to be noted in that day ever!
No way. That would be joining Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and James Monroe. He absolutely does NOT deserve to be in their company.
True freedom
He already looks like Henry VIII right before he exploded in his coffin. But just because the country is severely cursed, he'll carry on another 2.5 years.
That was William the Bastard, or William the Conqueror, whichever. People all left his body where it was when he died, so it lay there and swelled, and finally a few days later some monks had to stuff him into his coffin. Parts of him exploded.

Oh gross! the sandwich I just ate is starting to come back up!
"the country is severely cursed," because it was built on a sacred Native burial ground
He might resign when everything is so fucked up beyond repair and the US is bankrupted because he never cleans up his messes.
That kind thinking didn’t work w/McConnell iirc
Every single fucking day we wake up and ask the question “Is he dead yet?” 😾😾😾😾😾😾😾😾😾😾
I check several times a day. . Don't want to miss the happy occasion. 🤗
No let the bastard suffer in prison.
But death would silence him.
I agree with you. Death would be too easy. Also, somehow they'll turn him into a martyr.
Mormans got back on the religious list….
It's always amusing when bigots get bigoted themselves
64% of Mormons voted for Trump. Utah's Mormon Senators voted to confirm Kegsbreath. Another episode in the never-ending series -"I didn't think that the leopards would eat MY face!"
Utah Senator Mike Lee is as big a racist piece of shit as the evangelicals, so there's an equivalence on that front
I agree on Mike Lee. I happen to live in the same neighborhood that Barack Obama does when he is in Chicago. My Mormon neighbors are not Trump supporters. In fact, where we just sold our house, we lived in a Mormon enclave of "progressive" Mormons. That is couples who married across color. Families with gay children who did not do missions. In fact, one family became atheist, and the family they sold their house has the children drawing on the sidewalk in chalk against Trump. Our local Mormon church has been very involved in the Interfaith support of our local refugee project, Hyde Park Refugee Project.
https://hprpchicago.org/
So all Mormons are not cut from the same cloth. I wonder how many of their children will leave the church. Given the cost of University in the US, and the fact that they only pay 7% of the tuition at BYU, I think they will keep going.
Look at the list of Partners and Friends. You will see The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Hyde Park.
https://hprpchicago.org/partners/
What used to be called Jack Mormons, although they also drank alcohol.
Why were they called that? By the way, my community also houses the Catholic Church and Catholic Theological Seminary that the current Pope was a part of. There is a strong interfaith gathering culture and community. The neighborhood also has a few seminaries such as U of Chicago, Catholic, Lutheran and there might be others.

Their church is on 52nd and University.
https://local.churchofjesuschrist.org/en/units/us/il/hyde-park-1st-ward
I know where the First Unitarian church is as well. My daughter had ballet in there among other places, as well as the Baptist Church. A couple of our Mormon neighbors worked at the University. In fact one couple, where he is a Sociology prof and she is a lawyer, they are the Resident heads of the Dorms on 55th and University. They moved there with their two youngest, both of whom I taught, after their 2 oldest were in University. Another Mormon neighbor is a children's book author. She came and did a workshop with my class.
https://lieslshurtliff.com/books
I am reminded of the aphorism in for a penny, in for a pound.
There are progressive evangelicals, too. The editor of Baptist Global News is vehemently anti-Trump -- much more outspoken than the New York times.
Go figure the Mormon church would be wrong. Seems to be a pattern
Didn't the Mormon church, or someone formerly in a significant office in the church, publish a letter against the felon in 2024? I don't think I'm misremembering. & I don't think it was Romney.
If its a fascist and racist you get bet the Mormons are somehow involved.
But if they are malignant narcissists they enjoy it before they inflict pain.
There should not be a list at all. If churches are going to get all political, and some are making zillions of grifter dollars, why are they still getting a tax break/exemption? They should get some tax breaks for charitable donations that benefit their communities and so forth but not a free ride. Joel Osteen comes to mind.
I think the purpose of the religions list was for assigning military chaplains, for example, a Presbyterian minister could be ok for other Protestant denominations, however, since this administration, and Pete Kegstand in particular, could fuck up a one-car funeral, it was handled in the most ham-fisted, tone-deaf way possible.
I think it goes on their dog tags too.
I don't think that was it. All chaplains are supposed to counsel all troops which is why Hegseth also ordered chaplains to stop using psychology and start spouting bible verses.
1,000,000%. Churches are big business. Tax any that draw in more than a million per collection plate. People paying not to go to Hell. Really? Thinks that's going to work? Pshaw!
Not all churches. The vast majority are very small and direct their money to community missions such as hot meals. And they operate on a shoestring. They're very far from the megachurches that tend to be the most overtly political.
What about the Unitarian Unversalists? Last I saw they on the same shitlist as the Wiccans.
Yeah, that's a thing. Know a Vietnam-era SEAL who was born Unitarian (pre-unification) in California (think squared-away hippie, man). He had Unitarian on his tags and got to meet with a dedicated Unitarian minister on an aircraft carrier.
Can't be having that kind of America-hating Satanist Antifa subversion in Pete's military. Nossir.
I think the Wiccan religion is something I could support, or Druids. The rest can go pound sand.
The Church of Satan has been making inroads into humanist circles. Their message is a clear morality based on respect and kindness to people. They do blood drives, charity funding events, community cleanup gigs. Making the Fundies look bad.
Blood drives 😅
And the Atheists, Pagans and Heathens and……
Guess my 20 year old universal life church Dr of divinity is shitcanned ☮️
Same goes for mine from American Marriage Ministries. ☹️ Or maybe I'm just 86ed from marrying two "warfighters"?
I wonder if you can still perform weddings? 🤔
As long as it’s not an obese transsexual Black Muslim Female colonel guess I’m good. Not that there are any of those left in the WAR dept
And how about the Druids?
Merlin rocks!
As a pagan UU witch, I feel seen. Truly, UUs are too woke for Kegsbreath, I’m sure. I mean, come on, look at some of the UU principles:
“Inherent worth and dignity of every person.”
“Justice, equity and compassion in human relations.”
“A free and responsible search for truth and meaning.”
“The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all.”
Yes, Mr Mild! What about the UUs! Unitarianism was good enough for John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and Paul Revere, but apparently not for Kegsbreath’s Dept of Warmongering.
They were eliminated. That's my childhood church: First Unitarian of Chicago. Also, most of the Founding Fathers were what we would consider Unitarians today. Most didn't believe in the divinity of Jesus.
Well they were never off. What Secretary of War Crimes Hegseth did was declare other denominations as "Christian" but NOT the Mormons (who very much consider themselves to be Christian). They've now removed that marker.
That must really pi** off the Evangelicals who kinda hate Mormons.
Here’s hoping
They do? I didn't know that. I love the things that I learn in this unholy community.
LOL!!!
Only after Mike Lee cried and whined to trump. It sure does suck when the exclusion applies to YOUR religion, Mike. Could that maybe help you empathize a bit for the others who were taken off the list? Nah…me, me, me.
All it took was Mike Lee running to Trump. Way to stand up for religious freedom for just one group Mike.
of Pete Hegseth as Christians allowed to worship in the US military.
Of course they did. Scientologists will be next- “dollah bet?”
Yeah. MAGA Mike Lee felt for one microsecond how it felt to be excluded for a change. I used to work with a girl whose husband got transferred for work to Salt Lake City. She said it was hell not being Mormon. They practice their own special form of bigotry there. If you aren’t Mormon, you ain’t shit. That was back in the day. It may be different now but yeah, so glad he got a taste of his own bigotry.
Couchfucker sent over a criminal referral to DOJ accusing Tim Waltz and the MN AG of orchestrating fraud.
Deep, deep eye roll. JD just wants daddy to LIKE him...
If he wants to find fraud, he should drop in the Oval Office.
He will need sunglasses to go into the Oval Office- the glaring gold must be wicked bad- maybe Joe left a pair of aviators behind ‼️
Preznit announces an agreement with Iran is 2 or 3 days away
The Straits of Schrödinger are a dimension of sight and sound from which there is no escape!
From April and then again in May, because things have not changed:
The Strait I'll open!
The Strait I'll close!
Which is it now?
Who even knows
The ceasefire is on!
The ceasefire is off!
Can't make up his mind

Such unstable bullshit

Are you sure it wasn’t 2 weeks? Is he lowering his game?
Sign that his doctors at WR told him something about his life expectancy?
Let’s all have a good belly laugh !
Yeah, there go the markets again.
How did people dumb enough to take Trump's words seriously, even after all the times they've been faked out before, get enough money to be serious investors and move the stock market averages???
It’s his rich friends.
The rich friends are the ones who take money from the chumps who bid up the stocks and lose all that money. I am wondering how the chumps got to have enough money to be able to move the markets when they are so clueless about how this works even when they've had their noses rubbed in it so many times before.
Most of them are unaware their 401(k)s are being whipped around. The insider stuff is likely the “advisors” who weren’t appointed to anything official or Senate confirmed and family members. Takes a lot of cash to buy off Albanian officials and get to fuck over an island.
They're all in on it. Cashing in on cue.
No, they can't ALL make a profit: the people who cash in are taking money from others. The people who buy to make the prices all go up before Trump crashes the market all lose the money that the short-sellers get. There needs to be a large population of very rich but invincibly stupid marks, and I don't see how the marks got to be rich enough to have money worth ripping off.
Two weeks maybe…maybe not
Lol!😂
He has no idea. Not a clue.
Mamdani was at the game. He bought a $1,000 blue seat ticket at the box office and sat with the fans. Not court side, not in a luxury box.
A class act!
I thought he bought standing room. Of course he's half Trump's age and probably doesn't live on fast food and take a golf cart if he has to walk more than ten feet.
You’re right. It was standing room. Still, a plebeian ticket.
And unlike the pos narcoleptic sociopath who was relentlessly booed and almost universally hated by the NY crowd (although his delusions told him otherwise) Mamdani was met with widespread cheering from a crowd that was genuinely happy to see him there.
$1000 is a cheap seat?! er... standing room only?
Sports owners are greedier than ever.
Nothing, other than Donnie has started to drag around his 18-year-old granddaughter, because apparently Ivanka is getting too old. Other than being so very creepy, it's par for Donnie's course.
She’s just as big a turd as he is. Smirky little bitch.
Is that Kai, the one who thought she could be a professional golfer but finished dead last when her family name got her into a tournament?
Actually, many feminists stopped picking on Ivanka when they saw a documentary with Ivanka, where she showed them around her home, and then became weird when she walked into her own childhood bedroom.
Donald posed provocatively in a bathrobe on her bed with its Strawberry Shortcake sheets when she was still a kid.
Yuuuck!
That was deeply weird.
Hope they’ll reconsider and open the floodgates
Isn’t she Junior’s daughter?
You’re right about that. But her demeanor is definitely Javanka
Yeah, she has the family snobbery down. Maybe she’ll rebel and join an anarchist group in Europe. At least that would be interesting.
(Maybe Ivanka is saying she's too busy with that Albanian island?)
Let's go with that.
If she wasn’t his granddaughter would he be dating her???EWWWW
his “type” now seems to be big strong men with thick thighs
True. I think Donnie's true nature is finally coming out. I mean, no way did Cohen 'his mentor' not demand some payment for all that mentoring.
How long has he been abusing her?
he needs a keeper when he goes out. Epistimic picked up on his nurse, so I guess she drew the short straw?
Ukraine is taking the fight to Russia. Soon Zelensky will be standing over Trumps grave and giving condolences.
Not until he's standing over Putin's. Inshahallah.
In brighter news, Mayor Mamdani opened up Bryant Park for a watch party for the people, so he was Hero of the Day yesterday. (He's *always* a hero imo!) :)
Liddle Marco is hijacking more Catholic Charities donations around the Cuban government for dying Cuban Children. Phony fuck is making the inhumane State Department look humane. Hate that greasy Liddle Cuban fuck.

Go Knicks! Go away Trump!
Maybe the Church of Satan will sue Greasy Pete
Ooooh, they just might do that.
On the DoD's new religion list Orthodox and Reformed Judaism are listed as Christian denominations and Messianic Judaism is listed under Judaism.
Did the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster make the cut?
IIRC no religion and agnostic are on there.
Why does the DOD even have a religion list? Anyone?
It's for the indicator on headstones in Arlington National Cemetery
Oh, Man. That is so sad.
Good to know! Thank you
That's weird, because Messianic Judaism is basically Christianity, but Orthodox, Conservative, Reformed and Reconstructionist Judaism are not.
the felon only hires incompetent people
Mormons need not apply.
Jeff, we can all look forward to the news from Judge Kathleen Williams' court on June 12. Read her order to reopen the "Trump Family Magic Settlement" and determine whether Attorney General Blanche and the DOJ conspired with Trump's attorneys and used Trump's frivolous lawsuit to commit fraud. She is pissed off!
https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flsd.706172/gov.uscourts.flsd.706172.65.0_1.pdf
"Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Plaintiffs shall file a response
to the Motion (DE 63) on or before June 12, 2026, detailing their position on the matters
set forth in the Motion, including (1) the charges of collusion and whether the Parties are
truly adverse; (2) the assertion that the dismissal in this case was premised on deception
by the Parties; and (3) the question of whether the case should be reopened because the
Court was the “victim of a fraud.”"
Sure looks like Blanche and Trump perpetrated a fraudulent conveyance of $1.7 Billion of taxpayer money and granted Trump immunity from criminal tax evasion. Nice trick! But they are not going to get away with it.
Uncle Jeff, the only big new we are waiting for is the BIG BEAUTIFUL OBITUARY, and not to worry. When the Reaper comes, the amount of joy will be thunderous, from sea to shining sea! No way will you need a phone nor will you miss it.
I love your pictures of Claudia! I hope this makes sense. We read articles and posts without being able to see the people behind the story. I think we all love your story. Thank you for sharing.
Not all that much. Things are still fucked in the Middle East and trump is still alive. What a world we’re leaving our kids and grandchildren.
"...because deep down inside, Dear Leader knows that he’ll never be as admired as the black man whose accomplishments he’s trying to hard to destroy." Bingo👍🏼👌🏼🍸
And he’s arriving at Mamdani territory. Trump may not ever soak in how much he’s hated, but every supporter knows their demise is closing in. That’s why ivanka is trying to but the new family hide out in Albania.
Let's hope the Albanians give that a no-go. Flippin' rich assholes.
The island is lovely! The model for what they want to do with it is, truly, grotesque. Complete destruction. Apparently the current president, who was once a liberal democrat, is siding with the kushies -- against the fury of the majority of the Alof Albanian citizens.
Too late, looks like the heavy equipment has already started it's stripping of the flora and fauna!
😡🤬 maybe the Albanians can still stop it! Someone got paid very handsomely…follow the money.
Oh NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Called it! I knew the narcoleptic fart factory would fall asleep. All of that completely unnecessary chaos and money for absolutely nothing.
Fuck trump!
IT has to make everything about ITself !
Knicks owner James Dolan invited him. Screwed over his own team and fans for Donny. Any idiot could have predicted what would happen and the chaos he'd create but Dolan didn't care. Not enough people are blaming him for this atrocity.
Whoever the NBA commissioner is--I accidentally tuned in to some pre-game show last night (not a basketball fan, although I am now a fan of NY basketball fans) and caught him fawning over Donnie Demento's upcoming attendance. I do know of Charles Barkley, who was sitting at the end of the lineup of talking heads, and I hereby give Sir Charles the coveted I Will Kill You With My Laser Eyes Award. I'm pretty sure I heard some popping and sizzling noises and saw some smoke tendrils curling up from the commish's chair.
I tried to find a video of that pre-game show with Charles Barkley and all the search results were about a wild comment/joke he made about Cardi B. Sigh!
I don't watch basketball, so I don't know if the show had a name: the vibe I got was that it was the regular pre-game show; I only saw Laser Eyes because, according to what someone else on the show said, it had been playing on ESPN and then the broadcast moved to ABC, where I happened to be just at the moment.
Dolan has always been a nepobaby POS and has been a maggot from the getgo. No revelation last night for NYCers. Weve know of him for a long time.
Do you mean ‘The Monkeys ’ was on the future cultural cultural leaders list.
I hope they have to fumigate the box, following a blockbuster appearance of the king of shitting
You’d have to sit down wind of farty head!
King of Shitting!
Has a ring to it
He is the cause and now must carry the curse that has descended on the Knicks franchise. There’s a really good reason the team hasn’t been in the finals for 50 years and it rests on Dolans mismanagement, what assholes do yet still make money.
Jeff, don't let the naysayers keep you down. I love the Daily Claudia. It's proof of a life well lived and a love that spanned decades. And in these shitty days, it's good to see that still exists.
amen
I have never been more proud to be a native New Yorker. We have hated that fucker for 50 years.
Well said. My husband shares your righteous hatred. So I have claimed it as my own, as well. 😡🤬
Oh me too- can’t listen to him speak at all. First terms campaign was over the top-part of my family are Trumpsters …makes for short visits!
I have cut ties with Trumper family members. Sad, but true.
I lived in NJ most of my life and was a big cyclist there. We hated him in NJ too and when a group of other cyclists i rode with cycled by his golf motel in Bedminster with his name on it, everyone on the pace line gave it/him the finger. And that was way before he was elected and started to bankrupt the country, destroy our democracy and spread worldwide suffering.
Is there a possibility that he actually enjoys this, getting booed while causing chaos in the city. We know he comes out net positive for psychotic malignant narcissism so think of the supervillain seething inside while planning destruction.
Narcissists NEED attention.
Yes, I agree.ANY attention , be it positive or negative, it doesn’t matter.It is attention.That’s all that a malignant narcissist pig like Donnie FF requires.
And negative attention I guess.
I don’t believe narcissism absorbs negative thoughts They flourish when given any attention. Until the mics go dead and the cameras disappear we will suffer the slings of Sir Crap
I think it is so: he's also a sadist, and I think he truly enjoys inflicting misery on the American people; last night was yet another of his moments when he got to flaunt his untouchable power and superiority. He demonstrated this when he sneered at the question addressed to him regarding the obscenely overpriced tickets to the game--Marie Antoinette must've been giving him props from beyond the grave.
Agree. Sadism is only one if the characteristics of malignant narcissism which also includes antisocial behavior, sadism and lack of empathy.m
So so so true! Trump gets iff of this!
As Mrs Mild and I learned from raising 2 kids, any attention (even negative attention) is good attention.
I think it’s just brain rot turning boos into cheers.
It's more that he does not believe or disbelieve things like other people, because he has no sense of truth or falsity, only of what is convenient to say for the sake of his self-image, with no concern about whether that is even consistent with what was convenient for him to say a few minutes ago.
One way to erase all the boos is don’t let him in at all, I think it was setup to stick dopey’s face in the ugliness.
He knows whatever he says gets repeated by the mainstream press without any pushback or fact checking (most of the time, give it time). He has the power to make his own reality and impose it upon the masses this way (in his demented mind).
Anyone who supports rump is as sick as rump
Absofuckinlutely!!!
The more he disrupts the little people's lives the more he fucking loves it. It's all he lives for. Well that and stealing billions from us and the treasury.
Of course he loves it. Making people (especially women) suffer is his favorite thing.
Well, given his delusions of grandeur and rotting brain he may really believe he received cheers rather than the music to my ears booing. It is mind boggling to hear his response to the reporter in one of the clips above.
A good point. I think he gets enormous pleasure knowing fully well the chaos he would cause in Manhattan and loving every minute. Did u see the smirk on him when they booed? It said sticks & stones but I don’t give a fuck. You all have to endure me, like it or not. I win. The booing helped people feel better but the recipient couldn’t give a shit. He knows he has the power. He might have even told the secret service to increase the security. I would think the pleasure was all his. Are you sure you know who you are dealing with here??
He loves inflicting pain on others and getting away with it scot free. He is one truly sick and deranged individual - if only everyone could see and understand that.
He hears what he wants to hear. In his narcissistic brain he hears nothing but cheers, stupid fucker. To be honest though, he didn’t look too happy sitting there in his fart box. Oh well, I do feel bad for the guy sitting beside him.
I don’t agree, Lisa. He hears the boos. Loud and clear and knows he won because he hurt New Yorkers. That’s where he gets off. Then a whiny victim Voice in front of the media saying they cheered. He has us all wrapped up. The more pain, the more joy. He can be very pleased with himself.
yes I do think he gets off on being the super villain. He's so freakin sick! 🤢
All the White House lawn needs now are a couple of rusted out cars sitting up on blocks and a washing machine without a lid. Whitetrash House.
With a Confederate flag
Don't give Trump any ideas.
I'm pretty confident that some will show up for the event.
How about a couple of Teslers?
You mean them lectrics that he hawked on the White House lawn with Melon Musk?
Yes the DOGE Auto and Data Theft dealership
Lmao
Preferably rusty Tesla trucks.
Wow, that look at the Vegas lights happening on the Thunderdome? Now I want to see a carnival on the White House lawn. Big Ferris wheel visible from the other side of the White House. Tilt-a-Whirl. Funhouse mirrors where everyone can see what they'd look like in too-big Florsheims.
Hire a clown -you get a circus
I thought they were already there, in force.
"But where are the clowns?
Quick, send in the clowns
Don't bothеr, they're herе"
Perfection. "A Little Night Music" is the best!
The UFC just signed an agreement with the State Department, backed by taxpayers' funding, to take this stupid show global. To share fine American "culture" abroad. The nightmare is becoming non-ephemeral.
OMG they really want us all to feel like we're losing our grip on reality. Psychological warfare on the people of the USA by these unelected election-stealers.
And award winning hogs,!including their mud spa
And GEEKS!
😂😂😂
Crowd outside Trump Tower chanting "New York hates you!" Enjoy.

How pathetic and broken
When you crave every token
Applause and cheers
When you instead inspire jeers
'Cuz in your head dementia has spoken
+++++
I loved that glimpse of Obama - what a smile!
I agree with you 100%!
He gives up Hope that there can be Change, even when things look increasingly hopeless.
Trump & his enablers will say he had the biggest crowds ever cheering his arrival. I’m so glad we are witnessing mass rejection & revulsion of the criminal cabal occupying our White House and desecrating it daily!
But anyway! Love the knicks fans and every booing individual out there!! ♥️
The online MAGA copium this morning over seeing the Orange AssWipe get booed to the moon and back is something to behold. The Knicks loss last night will go down as another example of the First Law of Political Dynamics: ETTD.
The neon lights that are taller than the White House encapsulate the sheer tackiness and utter waste of Trump 2.0 perfectly
Isn't it delicious that Paxton's impeachment lawyer is backing Talarico? LOL
Go James!
Love it!!
Orange Jabba is the living (sort of) embodiment of where Fun goes to die. Although I must admit to a vicarious thrill watching James Dolan crop-dusted and serenaded with the dulcet tunes and noxious fumes of Diet Coke-inflected fecal aerosols. Talk about your FRAGRANT foul. Has there even been a more apt metaphor of Baron Buzzkill ruining things for tens of thousands of Knick fans? Unable to post here but I urge everyone to check-out the upcoming cover of The New Yorker. I may actually frame my copy.
Where is Barron?
You think HE wants to spend any time with this guy?
Who cares?
