I thought I could handle this post, all the crazy, that shit I’d been seeing and shaking my head at, all of the bitter insanity and loofah-scrubbed batshittery… and then you showed us President Obama visiting a Children’s Ward. And I lost it.
Thanks, Jeff, and may this year bring more light, more laughs, more love, more hope.
The Dummy Despot’s plan to build his massive, privately funded White House ballroom faces its first public scrutiny January 8 via a National Capital Planning Commission meeting.
There are also lawsuits happening against it as well.
Process is kryptonite for authoritarians. So this is a win.
My other Christmas wish is that he is forced to restore and rebuild it with the donated money. Any other fines, punishments or executions are just extra.
I would LOVE IT if they made him remove those ridiculous plastic gold ornaments from the walls of the White House. And the hate plaques under the presidential portraits. At some point, there needs to be a line in the sand where presidents can’t deface historical walls or in the case of the east wing, demolish them.
My Chrismanukkah wish is that he wanders off in the middle of the night, falls into the crevice of what used to be the East Wing, and disappear forever.
I lost it, too. But I'm not sure if it was just tears of joy, love and inspiration, or whether I just long for that love and goodness again in our government and in our country. Probably both.
You just articulated exactly how I felt watching the clip of Obama. I miss him so much, and just seeing again what a great human being he is made me both happy and sad for what we've lost.
The little kid with the glasses who was so excited to see him and then appeared to be crying happy tears getting a hug from him...that's what really sent me.
Hugs. It's been quite the decade. Even when Biden was in office, even when we knew Kamala would win - we still had that ugly demon hanging over us all. Never shutting up. Always with the lies.
Watching and listening to the gracious, classy Mr. Obama brought actual tears. I feel privileged to have been here during his time in office. Thank you, sir, for showing us what a leader looks like.
Thank God for President Obama. I was losing my shit up until that clip. Oh and the BIGGLIEST of BIGGLIEST go fuck yourself tRUMP. You sack of walking excrement.
It’s my husband’s birthday today, time to celebrate. But the biggest gift he can get and be beyond blessed and grateful for (something Lucifer 2.0 CAN NEVER imagine or feel) is word from surgeons that our 42 year old daughter’s surgery this morning for colon cancer is over and is a success with a good outcome ahead 🙏🙏🙏
Daily deluge of cruelty and insanity from whatever it is that currently defiles our White House.
I am getting a sense that his audience is shrinking. He is basically yammering to himself. But the overwhelming narcissism deludes him into assuming the everyone is listening and agreeing. Yuck.
For the Righties, lack of empathy is a feature, not a bug. Yesterday there was a heartbreaking story in WAPO about a terrified immigrant family in New Orleans being hunted by ICE, when all they want to do in life is raise their kids to be good people. I often enjoy the comments in WAPO, but this story attracted the meanest, nastiest people ever. Not one shred of empathy. Yes, they must have a certain deadness inside. No wonder they adore Trump. He validates them.
The one thing I have always said is that Trump didn't create MAGAots. They were always there. He just enabled them to come out of the shadows and embrace their bigotry, racism and mysogyny.
But they weren't in the shadows during Jim Crow, and in my teenage years (the 1960s) I watched them on TV as they screamed at Black children trying to go to school. Then they staged a big comeback during the Reagan years: the Republicans fed racist meat to "the base" while gutting unions and gifting the mega-rich with tax breaks. My worst fear at the moment is that many, many white USians will think this all started with Trump. Black USians know better.
As a Canadian who often travelled to the US, I wholeheartedly agree with you. When I started going to the US on golf holidays some 35+ years ago, they were there “en masse” with their grievances when a Democrat was at the helm or grossly complained about “coloured” people. As an FYI, I haven’t set foot in the US since Trump was first elected and I’m not until he’s 6 feet under.
Trying to explain color to a blind person is the perfect euphemism for describing empathy — or any regular human emotion — to the rotting pedo sitting in the Oval.
The Orange A**Hole has no idea how to speak to anyone.. but then Obama in a Santa hat going to spread some joy to kids spending the holidays in a hospital.. one is a GRIFTING PO💩 who only cares about himself and the Other is actually a damn good human being..FVCK DUMBt 🖕🏽
Look at that ugly, miserable old face. Five kids, god knows how many grandkids, but it's dinner with the wife who hates you and her dad, and they're having a nice time, no doubt talking to each other in Slovene, possibly about what a wet fart he is, while he sits trying to remember who they are and why he is there with them.
I was struck by that, as well. If he weren’t such a gigantic failure of human flesh, I might feel a little bad for him alone at that table. I mean, that picture speaks so loudly of his life. So much money. So much “power.” Yet, he’s all alone.
We've seen other past Presidents with their families in various settings being a family and doing family things together. When have you ever seen Trump and Melania with their son doing anything together or even Donnie with Junior and Eric and Ivanka doing anything together other than pulling off some grift or scam.
It continues to be impossible in my mind that any of this is actually happening. This utter turd of a human being is obliterating any and every notion that anyone ever had that we should aspire to dignity or erudition of any kind in our "leaders." I hope to live long enough to see this end.
I cannot shuffle off this mortal coil with things in this condition. I cannot soar with angels or whatever knowing that America became a totalitarian kakistocracy under my watch. It must end before I end.
Jeff, here in AZ a legislator is proposing a bill to address our main issue here.. Trump Deranged Syndrome.. They wish to define the term and punishment. Ahhh.. reminds me of the old Soviet Union, where if you speak out you are shipped to an insane asylum.. old Alexander Solholzenisn the Russian writer covered this in several books.
I lived in the Phoenix area in the 1980s, Meachem was governor and it seemed it couldn’t be more nuts. But it’s way past taping aluminum foil to the windows.
Listen, Fastball - we Arizonans have GOT to stick together on this: we mention the good stuff from Governor Hobbs and AG Chris Mayes, maybe throw in a reference to the great weather (lookin’ at 70 degrees and sunny, folks), and then we’re out! Don’t remind them of the crazy!!! Try to gloss over the freak show of our state’s political history! Do not, for the love of Obama in a Santa hat, put ANY focus on our legislature. Come on, Fastball! We’ve come so far! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That must've been one helluva drug he dropped before he beat the shit out of Santa. I think he got into Donnie Demento's stash, 'cause that whole hallucination sounded straight out of Truth Social. All he was missing were the sharks and batteries.
Back in the 80s, I had a friend (from NY) and we both knew the same irritating guy from IN... he would shake his head and say "They grow 'em strange in Indiana".
Kay, did you notice how the sun came out with just a few minutes of the beloved Prez Obama, people crying for happy, singing with joy solidly around the room? Dopey don couldn’t do that to this group or in any hospital certainly not his own maggots.
LOL. Oh yeah definitely! It was always a forced meme to give clout to people who hate that Democrats try to be inclusive of different kinds of people. And of course, it's Democratic leaders that show actual kindness on holiday posts. You couldn't have a Democrat making deranged threats and whiny airing of grievances and have them survive politically.
I'm trying very hard not to read into the last sentence of his manifesto, but "This may be your very last merry Christmas?" Really? What does that even mean?
You know, it's possible that those Walter Reed doctors told him something like, "You know, Mr. President, our best guess is that you have six months to live." We have no way to tell, one way or the other.
Thanks Lisa, my guess its an open threat to anyone he labels scum or sleazebag. Since he's following the NAZI playbook, maybe the next knock on the door ....

This is some good news today:
The Dummy Despot’s plan to build his massive, privately funded White House ballroom faces its first public scrutiny January 8 via a National Capital Planning Commission meeting.

At some point, there needs to be a line in the sand where presidents can’t deface historical walls or in the case of the east wing, demolish them.
Every other President knew that, just not the mad King
I *love* this idea. Talk about poetic (and democratic, and economic) justice!
My Chrismanukkah wish is that he wanders off in the middle of the night, falls into the crevice of what used to be the East Wing, and disappear forever.
he almost walked off the roof!
Damn!
Oh yeah, that’s right!
I lost it, too. But I'm not sure if it was just tears of joy, love and inspiration, or whether I just long for that love and goodness again in our government and in our country. Probably both.
Happiness in the New Year to all!
You just articulated exactly how I felt watching the clip of Obama. I miss him so much, and just seeing again what a great human being he is made me both happy and sad for what we've lost.
The little kid with the glasses who was so excited to see him and then appeared to be crying happy tears getting a hug from him...that's what really sent me.
The nasty comments beneath that post are saddening. So many miserable people, MAGAs who obviously have internalized Trump's own misery.
Oh no. Just enjoy the joy. Never read the comments. x
Obama brings Joy and Happiness!
Shit stain brings Despair and Misery
Can I join all of you who teared up seeing President Obama and who miss him. I hope we have another real president like him very soon.
The way every single face lights up when they see him. <3
Don’t forget,he’s also really good looking!
Definitely! When I first looked at the post, I thought it was a picture of young President Obama.
I know you have to be talking about Obama and not the walking ad for not eating Big Macs.
😆
I wish we had that kind of thing back. Instead it's a daily airing of grievances from the dotard at the top.
I hope for happiness for you all!
We may approach that degree of grace and class, but it will never get that good again!
All Republicans whine like wet toddlers now unfortunately.
I'm still in tears.
Hugs. It's been quite the decade. Even when Biden was in office, even when we knew Kamala would win - we still had that ugly demon hanging over us all. Never shutting up. Always with the lies.
You probably needed a good cry. I know I did.
Remember when . . . the U.S. had a human, humane president with brains, compassion, and a sense of humor? I needed that reminder!
We all do Susanna!
And the sad truth is a whole generation of children have been exposed to this awful man and his ilk.
And all the Barack and Joe memes? :D
Yes! A great ending to the piece of trash posting untruth social messages!
Watching and listening to the gracious, classy Mr. Obama brought actual tears. I feel privileged to have been here during his time in office. Thank you, sir, for showing us what a leader looks like.
Same. I cried the first time I watched it and I didn’t even have the sound on.
Me too. 😢 between this and realizing they’ll never be another Rob Reiner anything. It’s all too much. 😢
Yeah, it brought me to tears too. And lol did anyone else notice how good he looks in those pants?
Exactly. Wasted me with one Obama. 🥹🥲🥹🥲🥹
Nicely said Neal!
Thank God for President Obama. I was losing my shit up until that clip. Oh and the BIGGLIEST of BIGGLIEST go fuck yourself tRUMP. You sack of walking excrement.

Yes! Thank you Jeff, for putting Obama up! It made all the difference. I love you!!! You didn't leave us mired in the awfulness.
Me too, NEAL! Jeff surely has his “way” with us.
It was so heartwarming to see the Obamas lovely Xmas IG got 3.5M likes. And the Bidens. Yes, please, can we please have a Real President back.
Daily deluge of cruelty and insanity from whatever it is that currently defiles our White House.
I am getting a sense that his audience is shrinking. He is basically yammering to himself. But the overwhelming narcissism deludes him into assuming the everyone is listening and agreeing. Yuck.
I believe he's really not too far from kicking puppies and babies at this point.

Totally. Reagan is roasting somewhere.
Wherever it is, he has lots of company.
Those who refuse to learn from history,are probably intent on repeating it.
Yeah, the Republicans have been cultivating them for decades with the enthusiastic help of the church.
ALL extremist religious groups!
No, in this case it's very specifically Christianity. Like the famous quote, fascism came to this country draped in a flag and carrying a cross.
As a Canadian who often travelled to the US, I wholeheartedly agree with you.

And entitlement
I agree with you 💯%!!!
Trying to explain color to a blind person is the perfect euphemism for describing empathy — or any regular human emotion — to the rotting pedo sitting in the Oval.
Right?!?!? I almost screamed at how perfectly appropriate that was!
Is he dead yet🍊💩
Yes. He just hasn't realized it yet.
😂😂
The smell should be a dead giveaway.
😁
Yes. Dead. Mostly dead. He was embalmed but he keeps speaking.
Go get a big rock get close to him, you know what to do then.
Zombie? It's pretty obvious he eats brains.
He’s a satchel of overstuffed laboratory grown meat, a rotting corpse…his time on this blue spinning cosmic stone is nearly over Debbie!
Not nearly soon enough.
Clots and prayers 🙏
Amen
I hope we get that gift soon.
The Orange A**Hole has no idea how to speak to anyone.. but then Obama in a Santa hat going to spread some joy to kids spending the holidays in a hospital.. one is a GRIFTING PO💩 who only cares about himself and the Other is actually a damn good human being..FVCK DUMBt 🖕🏽
Truer words Morgan!
Oh,it got worse,he bragged to an 8 year old that he won Pennsylvania in 2020.
Look at that ugly, miserable old face. Five kids, god knows how many grandkids, but it's dinner with the wife who hates you and her dad, and they're having a nice time, no doubt talking to each other in Slovene, possibly about what a wet fart he is, while he sits trying to remember who they are and why he is there with them.
Meanwhile, a better president welcomed a new great-grandchild with his wife, who seems to love him a great deal: https://www.threads.com/@demsmight/post/DSsu3xxkjTD/joe-biden-shares-photo-with-jill-and-great-grandson-willie-on-christmas

LORD, do I miss the Obamas
I'd rather be in the Bahamas
Instead of right here
With that imbecile near
Who's got issues that stem from his mama!
This Drumpf thinks he’s a tough guy,
Though he’s an idiot which no one can deny;
He has zero morals,
He sits on his laurels ,
We can’t wait to say”Bye-Bye!”
Join the club, Dave! Way to goooooo!!! Morals and laurels is exceptional!!
Frosty, he hates women, that could be mommy dearest.
I’d say his issues stem from more than his mama. No need to lay all the blame on the mother.
His dada was no prize for sure. Woody Guthrie wrote a song denouncing "Old Man Trump" https://woodyguthrie.org/Lyrics/Old_Man_Trump.htm
I like to think we’ve moved beyond the kneejerk “blame the mother for everything” mentality. Apparently not.
Thanks for posting this, Jeff. I too miss having a sane president instead of the crazy mf’er who’s in office now. I cannot wait until he is gone.
It continues to be impossible in my mind that any of this is actually happening. This utter turd of a human being is obliterating any and every notion that anyone ever had that we should aspire to dignity or erudition of any kind in our "leaders." I hope to live long enough to see this end.
David, hang on for a year! Maybe even less!
I cannot shuffle off this mortal coil with things in this condition. I cannot soar with angels or whatever knowing that America became a totalitarian kakistocracy under my watch. It must end before I end.
🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
I swan we are living in some weird alternative universe. I really am SICK of all this hate and deranged revenge against normal, kind people.
I think the rapture happened and we’ve been left in hell.
True dat Dana!
Jeff, here in AZ a legislator is proposing a bill to address our main issue here.. Trump Deranged Syndrome.. They wish to define the term and punishment. Ahhh.. reminds me of the old Soviet Union, where if you speak out you are shipped to an insane asylum.. old Alexander Solholzenisn the Russian writer covered this in several books.
That tracks. We do already have gulags here thanks to racists Miller, Noem, Homan, etc.
I lived in the Phoenix area in the 1980s, Meachem was governor and it seemed it couldn’t be more nuts. But it’s way past taping aluminum foil to the windows.
Here in Idaho they propose renaming one of the highways "The Charlie Kirk Memorial Highway". 🤮
And in two years people are going to be asking, "Who?"
🤬🤮
Listen, Fastball - we Arizonans have GOT to stick together on this: we mention the good stuff from Governor Hobbs and AG Chris Mayes, maybe throw in a reference to the great weather (lookin’ at 70 degrees and sunny, folks), and then we’re out! Don’t remind them of the crazy!!! Try to gloss over the freak show of our state’s political history! Do not, for the love of Obama in a Santa hat, put ANY focus on our legislature. Come on, Fastball! We’ve come so far! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It ain't the hate, it's the stupidity!
SERIOUSLY??? OMFG!
1. Since today is Boxing Day, I’m going to post AI slop boxing Garten’s ears.
2. Followed by a boxing ring with Orange Madness being beaten up by elves with Santa as the ringmaster.
Garten...why would anyone even feel the need to be such an asshole? These people are not right. 🙄
That must've been one helluva drug he dropped before he beat the shit out of Santa. I think he got into Donnie Demento's stash, 'cause that whole hallucination sounded straight out of Truth Social. All he was missing were the sharks and batteries.
HAHA! Seriously!
“AI pics I had a blast designing with my kids.” What a nut job. Sad for the kids.
Seriously. What kind of decent parent does this? It’s a cult.
Because the hate is what passes for humor. 🙄
I just can’t even…. 🤦♀️
Back in the 80s, I had a friend (from NY) and we both knew the same irritating guy from IN... he would shake his head and say "They grow 'em strange in Indiana".
😂😂😂

I'm trying very hard not to read into the last sentence of his manifesto, but "This may be your very last merry Christmas?" Really? What does that even mean?
I think he means 'for The New York Times,' I guess after he has them all deported to El Salvador
Projection. He might have realized this could be his very last Christmas. Facing mortality must be a bitch for him.
You know, it's possible that those Walter Reed doctors told him something like, "You know, Mr. President, our best guess is that you have six months to live." We have no way to tell, one way or the other.
