Seriously. What does it feel like, I wonder, to be wandering around on a rooftop, and half the world holds its breath thinking “Dear God, let him fall off” and the other half is yelling “Jump!”?
Now THIS I like! He'd finally get a tombstone he'd claim had an accurate inscription (ecorded on a loop): 'I TOLD YOU those damn windmills were killers! wha, wha, wha. Now I'M the birdie'!
I wish there was a plan, cuz I’m ready, willing and kinda physically able to apply myself.
The Heritage Foundation is behind this coup and drew up Project 2025, which was available to the public to review. But MAGATS don’t read (see Marjorie Taylor Green) so, only non-MAGATS read the fascist tome.
The Heritage Foundation needs to go DOWN..and the Corrupt Supreme 6, as well, or our chances for renewing our democracy are slim and none.
Vance/Bowman/Whatever has all the charisma of dryer lint. And he's just terrible at retail politics. His few pathetic stabs at reaching out to the voters on the campaign trail last year were just that--pathetic.
Everywhere he goes, 'on vacation' he attracts large crowds who boo him.
Nah, can't see him as a successor to Orange Cankles.
The MAGAs won’t have anyone else around whom to collate. It’s like making rock candy: they may still be a super saturated solution, but they won’t have a central source to become a single whole. They’ll just be on the periphery, gumming things up, until we can find a way (or 10) to bring them into the whole.
I think he's too far gone to even think about that or have any awareness of how it looks to the outside world. But for my own sanity, I have to point out that it's much more than half of the world that is yelling (or at least thinking) "jump!"
Susan, yesterday I was hardcore on California not changing its independent commission which determines our legislative districts. Well, this morning, I saw Gavin's explanation on X. Okay, I think we should definitely secede. This country is not able to be saved. "if we even can."
Can the United States become 2 nations? It’s beginning to look like that might be a reasonable alternative. The red states would starve without the blue states, so, I doubt those MAGATS would even agree to succession.
This is from January 6, 2025 from the leader of the Green Party in Canada. There's even a part about the papers that have been written about Caskadia at a British Columbian university. Walt, this includes you, as an Oregonian. Next year, the US will no longer will be the largest economy in the world. I've had a strict policy for decades of only buying US made/produced. I'm about to switch that to only California and its allies made/produced. I'm really done with this country, and my family arrived in Plymouth in 1633 and in Philadelphia by 1754.
Is that what you think? They'll starve even with blue states. Project 2025 and its ensuing legislation (BBB) ensures there will be no food programs. This is a program to kill off everyone who isn't really wealthy. AI will apparently do all the work. Stay if you can't see the consequences. Most of my food comes from the Bay Area, meat, produce, dairy. Grains come from the northern Sacramento Valley.
Unfortunately there isn’t a way to neatly divide us into two countries. The cities in red states tend to be quite blue and the rural parts of blue states quite red. I live in the western suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, a reliably blue state. Downstate in the farmland it might as well be Arkansas.
Republicans have been gutting public education for decades while feeding racism and resentment. The slogan “my ignorance is as good as your knowledge” has become their mantra. There have been a lot of players on that team, but saint ronnie was responsible for a huge portion of it.
You're right, there is no good way to do it. But how are we going to survive the current government? t wants to blow up the weather satellites that NASA has. We have red areas in California. But I suggest that blue states stop supporting red areas. Look, California is big enough and wealthy enough to be its own country. The Heritage Foundation and the billionaires understand the climate crisis perfectly and that there will be a huge human die off. They don't care, as long as the billionaires survive with their AI servants. California is the state that has really done something about this. My house has solar and storage batteries and we have two EVs. We've never had an income over $60K a year in the last 15 years and we're on Social Security now. If we can do this, everyone can. We own our house and paid it off in 2018. (We financed down from 9 3/4% in 1992 twice and the third time in 2003 we got 4 3/4% and got a 15 year loan.) If we could do this, anyone can. I know Reagan really well, he had the National Guard fly a helicopter over Lower Sproul Plaza at Berkeley (the best public university in the country) and spray the 2000 people trapped in there with tear gas. I remember before there were homeless in California, but he didn't want to pay for mental hospital and now we have homeless mentally ill living on the streets. I'm done with this. California needs to go and the rest of you survive without us. I'm done.
I’m rather sad at your attitude that “if I can do it anyone can.” That isn’t even remotely true.
I also live in a donor state. I’d like to not have my taxes support red states where the republicans policies help keep their states poor. Figuratively speaking, the Union won the war but the confederacy won the peace.
The assassination of Lincoln was a huge boondoggle for the Republicons. Damn near every one of Lincoln’s objectives were dismantled by his numbskull VP, Andrew Johnson and the losers of the Civil War. We did not reap the spoils of war.
The Civil War accomplished little because a little rat bastard (sorry rats) named John Wilkes Booth assassinated Abe Lincoln. As usual, the Republicons took advantage of a tragedy to push their agenda and decided, no matter what anyone said, that slavery is cool and people of color are only worth 3/5 of a white man. That attitude continues to this day. Fuck the Republicons!
We will never get back to where we were BDJT, for which, perhaps give thanks. Depends on how well we manage going forward ADJT. Assuming, of course, that there's anything recognizable left to work from.
I would like to think rebuilding starts with people better humans…is that even possible? Decency, intellect, critical thinking, compassion, common sense… not qualities in abundance in these MAGA folks.
Doubtful we can. How could anybody have supported this man and yet look at all who do notwithstanding all the bad. It is estimated he is responsible for 500,000 Covid deaths and yet he got elected again?? I don't get it.
Many reports that crowds below were encouraging Emperor Dipshit to jump. But on a serious note, how the fuck did he get up there? Does the White House have a freight elevator to the roof? Sure as shit he didn't climb the stairs.
The good news: Jeff, thank you for making me laugh all the way through this post. The bad news is Pres. Shitsalloverus is still batshit crazy and he didn't take a nosedive off that roof. WTF?????
on a related note, I can't wait to see how South Park destroys Noem tonight. I wish that the Kristi (golf pro/nazi) mix-up happened before the episode. And you KNOW they will use the Diddler on the Roof next time.
There was a show on a few years back, where they showed how South Park was written- weekly. The writers sit down the week before the show, consider current events and write that on the spot. So, you can expect timely and pertinent story lines, fer sure.
I know it's been said a million times, but seriously, imagine the press reaction if Biden had wandered up to the roof of the White House to yell incoherently like that?! It'd be the top story in the news for the next several months and Fox News would wet themselves.
But in our current hellscape, it's just another Tuesday in the Upside Down, I Want Off This Goddamn Ride Land that is America in 2025.
Amen! Well, at least Biden would have climbed the stairs, not been carried up by Secret Service agents or hoisted with a crane. It's getting harder and harder for Fox and the corporate media to cover for Trump's increasingly obvious dementia, but I'm sure they will continue doing it until he appears wearing only his Depends with a Diet Coke in one hand and a line of Adderall in the other.
The only logical purpose for tonight's "secret" meeting would be to choose straws to determine who is going to tell Cankles McPedo he needs to resign in disgrace. Instead, they'll choose straws to determine who will be Cankle's human ballwasher the next time he's on the golf course.
I read somewhere yesterday speculation they were going to consider the 25th. The oligarchs don’t need him now that the Billionaire Boner (credit to JoJo from Jerz) & crypto bills have passed, the Project 2025 crew only need Couchfuck, & he’s humiliating Bondi & anchor baby Marco daily. Their loyalty to themselves may trump (so to speak) their loyalty to trump. And if they decide he’s more trouble than he’s worth….
You’re way off- Drumpf would never step down from his Presidential Palace- they would have to haul him away in a straight jacket( rather large one) him kicking and screaming. That would be fun to watch, but I don’t see it happening….
Great description : “Sgt. Pedo’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” and “White House Assisted Living Facility”——blathering idiot. Comer-seriously-get the fuck in the present time frame…leave Hillary, Obama, etc alone…focus on your damn job! Makes me sick—I don’t know how anyone can keep up covering this crap of lies…exhausting…but thanks to all who are telling the TRUTH!
You know Cheeto McPedo is on borrowed time when all of his heavyweight cover up horseshit artists want to get together in an attempt to stay on the same page. Comer will once again waste so much time and money with his distraction efforts by going after the GOPs usual suspects and once again not turning up a damn thing. In the meantime, it'll be a cold day in hell if the roof romper ever pays for anything let alone an obscene ballroom.
Arrest Obama. Please oh please oh please! What could possibly go wrong? He starts writing his Letters From A DC Jail. The wheels come completely off the urban troop carrier. Monkeywrenching begins, large and small, as American citizens discover a new hobby.
Moscow Mitch has fucked this country by denying Obama his SCOTUS nomination and then changing the rules in the retrumplican favor— I can’t stand that motherfucker!!
They can have that meeting to get their message straight all they want. But you know Dementia Donald will be the 1st to deviate. He just can’t help blurting stuff out. Ex: he never had the “privilege” to visit Epstein Island
He was never appreciative of his privileged life. The only thing he knows how to do is to find fault in anyone he dislikes. As an example, when he first met our new PM, he was thrilled to say what a nice man he was compared to Justin Trudeau. Now that Mark Carney is defending my country in the face of the 35% tariffs, he says how difficult Canada is to deal with. There’s only one person who’s difficult to deal with, and that is DJT when he meets other leaders who won’t kiss his big fat derrière. And my PM will never kiss it.
We would welcome you with open arms. And you’d be able to be part of a select minority with dual citizenship. My father held dual citizenship, but he lost it once he served in the Canadian military. He found this out when he wanted to move the family to California.
Jeff, love today’s piece, especially that orange panted psycho on the roof of the WH. OT…Apparently there was a meeting the other day between Sec of Defense and Homeland Security. It centered around placing the military IN cities to assist ICE. The purpose of this meeting was to label undocumented migrants as “terrorists” and have the military remove this targeted community… This designation will serve the State in rounding up other communities, Black folks, folks who protest, folks defending these communities..basically any community that does not agree with Donald and the State… This will become more intense as we head for the midterms… 🤮 Best to All
I read that Hegseth's kid brother works for DHS and floated this turd of an idea, to deploy military commandos to U.S. neighborhoods as adjuncts to ICE. They'll probably end up using Whitewater mercenaries under Eric Prince as an interim. Great way to sabotage both the Olympics and the 2026 Midterms, not to mention our poor dying democracy.
It’s not bad enough we have to stomach the regurgitations of Pete Kegsbreath, now we have to deal with the entire Kegsbreath family? Calgon, make it go away!
The commission or wut ever it’s called with Comer, how can anyone address him as in “Sir may I speak you dis honorable fuck” how can he be taken seriously? He’s just like all of them dim bulbs but fifteen hundred percent more.
Now is our moment—today take action against this harmful government. They are:
• Spitting on count orders.
• Seeding rot and corruption.
• Shielding a pedophile trafficking ring in plain sight.
• Gut-punching a broken healthcare system—ripping coverage from 13 million lives.
• Abusing the poor, the needy, and children.
• Stealing from the poor to fatten the rich.
They gerrymandered their way to power in the House and are attempting to do more of that anti-democratic chicanery. I say we gerrymander back to equilibrium. Protest for Democratic governors to take action!
I made 54 protest signs to aid protest groups. I will make many more to share. You will see something different in these signs! Help yourself to this second batch, and share them as far as you can.
The fact that the Cadre of Pedo Protectors are having an "Epstein strategy" meeting should enrage 99% of the people in a sane world. Why would any meeting be necessary except to figure out how to shield Jabba the Pedo?
Every time Diddler on the Roof opens his mouth lately, it's like taking series of dives to the Titanic (NOT in a Dollar Store submersible): each time you see even more deterioration. It's accelerating.
Susan, I agree. It doesn’t seem possible that he can get worse, yet it’s a daily decline for the entire world to witness. And shows that the US is a weak, powerless bullshit country. What a great reputation.
What it shows is that there are powerful and obscenely wealthy people, in the background controlling the country while Trump acts like a stupid clown in the front of the country. That's why he is always getting in the news by saying or doing something crazy. It doesn't matter if he's senile. So much the better.
A minor (ahem) point--what might one serve at a dinner to figure out how you're going to have a unified response to your boss running around with some other rapists?
Michael Wolff who is T💩p's biographer said he got a call from a guy who said T💩p called him up specifically to say that he didn't have Epstein killed. That seems weird.
I think we have to assume that nothing is too weird, nothing is too perverse, nothing is too out of the mainstream in the Trump White House. (I wish I knew how to add that emoji, I love your spelling, Mary.) His new politics are just one obscenity after another.
“I want you to know that I didn’t kill my daughter,” were the first words Agnes Carpenter addressed to Barry Morrow, screenwriter of “The Karen Carpenter Story” (1989).
Bill’s immune, and Hillary doesn’t have to testify against her husband. Obama’s immune. And WTF with Mueller & Lynch. Was Epstein even on anyone’s radar outside of those “in the know” back then? Comer’s going to need some extra rakes.
It is likely that there are dozens (or even hundreds) of young teenagers who were victims of pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his pedophile friends/clients. Sadly, one of those victims, Virginia Guiffre, committed suicide earlier this year. Did she commit suicide, or was she murdered to silence her from telling everyone what she knew.
It is my understanding that, so far, only two people were charged with committing criminal acts; one being pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, the other being his disgusting companion, Ghislaine Maxwell. It is my further understanding that only one person, that person being Prince Andrew, faced a civil (rather than a criminal) action stemming from the Epstein affair.
Given that dozens (and possibly hundreds) of underage girls were sexually abused, raped and trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell and that, so far, only two people, Epstein and Maxwell, have faced criminal charges, THE BIG QUESTIONS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE ARE:
A) WHO ARE THE OTHERS WHO ARE GUILTY OF CRIMES AGAINST THE UNDERAGE GIRLS WHO WERE SEXUALLY ABUSED, RAPED AND TRAFFICKED?
B) WHO IS RESPONSBILE FOR THE UNGOING COVERUP THAT IS PREVENTING PERPETRATORS OTHER THAN EPSTEIN AND MAXWELL FROM BEING CHARGED FOR THE HEINOUS CRIMES THAT WERE COMMITTED?
C) WHY IS THIS COVERUP CONTINUING; WHY ARE THESE CRIMES GOING UNPUNISHED?
FRANKLY, I DON’T CARE WHO IS ON THE LIST! NO MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY THEY HAVE, NO MATTER WHAT POSITIONS THEY HOLD IN THE BUSINESS WORLD, NO MATTER WHAT PUBLIC OFFICES THEY DID OR DO HOLD, THOSE WHO COMMITTED CRIMINAL ACTS AGAINST THE UNDERAGE GIRLS MUST BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE!!!
MUST. BE. BROUGHT. TO. JUSTICE!
The ATTORNEY GENERAL of the United States of America, Pam Bondi, is a liar.
a) “Bondi says Epstein client list ‘sitting on my desk right now’”
[Fox News on Feb 21, 2025 — US Attorney General Pam Bondi on Friday said the Jeffrey Epstein client list is "sitting on my desk right now" and she is reviewing the JFK and MLK files.]
b) “DOJ (which Bondi is the head of) says Epstein client list does not exist”
[PBS News on July 7, 2025 - WASHINGTON (AP) — Jeffrey Epstein did not maintain a “client list,” the Justice Department acknowledged Monday as it said no more files related to the wealthy financier’s sex trafficking investigation would be made public.
QUESTION: WHICH BONDI STATEMENT WAS THE LIE?
The DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE of the United States of America, led by Pam Bondi, who reports directly to President Donald J Trump, is involved in a coverup.
a) The DOJ tells us that Epstein committed suicide. Yet, there are gaps in the tapes. I, for one, believe that Epstein was murdered; this in order to prevent him from revealing the names of men who raped and otherwise sexually abused underage girls. It is well known – has been widely reported for years - that Trump, for decades, assisted Russian Oligarchs and Russian Mafia with laundering money through his real estate developments. Russian Mafia are notorious for committing murders to prevent people from testifying. Putin has a close relationship with the Russian Mafia. Putin did whatever he could do to see Trump win the presidency in 2016. Many believe that Trump withdrawing support for Ukraine is Trump’s way of bending the knee to his Master, Putin.
b) Reported on August 1st, 2025, on Bloomberg News: “The FBI Redacted Trump’s Name in the Epstein Files” - The bureau’s FOIA team tasked with conducting a final review of the records blacked out the names before higher-ups said last month that releasing the documents ‘would not be appropriate or warranted.’
Bloomberg reporter Jason Leopold: “Welcome back to FOIA Files! This week, I’m delving into the Jeffrey Epstein saga: We know from news reports that Trump’s name was in the Epstein files. But what hasn’t been reported is that an FBI FOIA team redacted Trump’s name—and the names of other prominent public figures—from the documents, according to three people familiar with the matter who were not authorized to speak with the media. That team, tasked with conducting a final review of the voluminous cache, had applied the redactions before the DOJ and the FBI concluded last month that “no further disclosure” of the files “would be appropriate or warranted.”
c) Todd Blanche, 2nd in command at the DOJ and formerly Donald J Trump’s personal attorney, interviews Ghislaine Maxwell. If this isn’t a case of the fox guarding the henhouse, I don’t know what would be. We should take for granted that this interview was all about Blanche trying to find out what Maxwell knows about Trump’s involvement with pedophile Epstein. Shortly after that interview took place, sex trafficker, sexual abuser Maxwell is moved to a minimum security prison camp.
d) Reported by NBC News on August 1, 2025: “Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirator and confidant, was moved to a minimum-security federal prison camp in Texas, prison officials said Friday. Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in recruiting and trafficking minors for sex, was being held at a low-security facility in Tallahassee, Florida, that housed men and women. The camp in Bryan, Texas, houses only women. A majority of its inmates are serving time for nonviolent offenses and white-collar crimes. The move comes a week after Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche met with Maxwell and her lawyer, David Oscar Markus, for nine hours over two days. Blanche has made no public statements about what Maxwell said or about next steps in the current Justice Department investigation into Epstein, the financier and convicted sex offender who died by suicide in jail in 2019.
e) Reported by the Boston Globe on August 3, 2025: “Trump seems suspiciously open to a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell.” Gee F’ing Whiz – what better way to make sure that Maxwell keeps her mouth shut about Trump’s involvement with Epstein and underage girls than….. than to use a presidential pardon to bribe Maxwell to keep her mouth shut!
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT THE EPSTEIN FILES TO BE RELEASED!!! ALL OF THEM. THE ONLY REDACTIONS THAT SHOULD BE MADE ARE REDACTIONS TO BLANK OUT THE NAMES OF THE GIRLS WHO WERE SEXUALLY ABUSED, RAPED AND TRAFFICKED.
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT ALL OF THE PERPETRATORS OF CRIMES AGAINST THESE YOUNG GIRLS TO BE INDICTED AND TRIED. THEY MUST BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE!
The question I also have is has Melania ever been subpoenaed and questioned? Has she ever made a statement? She is in many pictures with Donny, Epstein and Maxwell. She obviously has some sort of knowledge of what was going on. If she claims otherwise she's part of the conspiracy.
Rage is the right reaction. Any full exposure must also include all the young boys groomed, raped and trafficked over many decades. It is high time any and all VIPs who have in any way benefitted from this multi nation state protected global network of power abuse are held criminally accountable.
Please don’t stop demanding justice is seen to be done but do not set your hopes too high for your health’s sake.
The very best hashtag ever. #DiddleronTheRoof Pure gold.
The only bad thing that happened is he didn't fall off.
I despise him with my whole heart and soul.
It'll take a generation to get America back on track...if we even can. 🤦♀️
Seriously. What does it feel like, I wonder, to be wandering around on a rooftop, and half the world holds its breath thinking “Dear God, let him fall off” and the other half is yelling “Jump!”?
Don't miss!!! Diddler on the Roof has already been turned into a music video !!!

This vid is so good I’m sending it to every non-MAGAT I know. Superb!
It's catchy too! Gonna be stuck in my head all night.
OMG! 😂😂😂😂 BRILLIANT!!! I was not expecting Dan Bongino to make an appearance- too funny👏👏👏
That video is Grreat! Such talented people in the world.
Absolutely!
Thanks! I needed a good laugh.
The other AI Trump videos are pretty amusing as well Kathleen thanks for sharing!
OMG hilarious! Thank you for sharing this.
Superb!
SOOO GOOD!!
That's great!
That is so funny and the words are perfect! Thanks for the link.
All it would have taken....just a little push..........Y'know, a riff on Putin's favorite method of--ahem!--disagreeing with his opponents.
If Dems really controlled the weather, Marjorie Taylor Green, you would have seen a hurricane force gust blow Shitler all the way to Virginia.

Now THIS I like! He'd finally get a tombstone he'd claim had an accurate inscription (ecorded on a loop): 'I TOLD YOU those damn windmills were killers! wha, wha, wha. Now I'M the birdie'!
Sigh…if only
How do you plan to get rid of magas? Even if he's gone, you'll still have them.
I wish there was a plan, cuz I’m ready, willing and kinda physically able to apply myself.
The Heritage Foundation is behind this coup and drew up Project 2025, which was available to the public to review. But MAGATS don’t read (see Marjorie Taylor Green) so, only non-MAGATS read the fascist tome.
The Heritage Foundation needs to go DOWN..and the Corrupt Supreme 6, as well, or our chances for renewing our democracy are slim and none.
I think the BBB will take care of that, getting rid of magas. No hospitals, no healthcare.
I am positive they won't follow JD. He lacks any of the orange ones cult attributes!
He just lacks everything.
Vance/Bowman/Whatever has all the charisma of dryer lint. And he's just terrible at retail politics. His few pathetic stabs at reaching out to the voters on the campaign trail last year were just that--pathetic.
Everywhere he goes, 'on vacation' he attracts large crowds who boo him.
Nah, can't see him as a successor to Orange Cankles.
They are very much like Herpes.
The MAGAs won’t have anyone else around whom to collate. It’s like making rock candy: they may still be a super saturated solution, but they won’t have a central source to become a single whole. They’ll just be on the periphery, gumming things up, until we can find a way (or 10) to bring them into the whole.
I have no plan, other than UATWMFs. What’s yours?
Back in the 50s they had a plan.

No thanks. We're trying to get rid of the ones we already have!
I’ll include “Push!”
I think he's too far gone to even think about that or have any awareness of how it looks to the outside world. But for my own sanity, I have to point out that it's much more than half of the world that is yelling (or at least thinking) "jump!"

There are a lot of us in “red states” who would prefer not to starve.
Leverage? Will that open the eyes of the South?

Nope this gives Pootin the win. Break up the US via Krasnov just like USSR broke. Don't fall for it.

The uber-wealthy billionaire class would like nothing more Walt!
Is that what you think? They'll starve even with blue states. Project 2025 and its ensuing legislation (BBB) ensures there will be no food programs. This is a program to kill off everyone who isn't really wealthy. AI will apparently do all the work. Stay if you can't see the consequences. Most of my food comes from the Bay Area, meat, produce, dairy. Grains come from the northern Sacramento Valley.

The SS agents carried him up. Soon he will be traveling about in a palanquin. Carried by conscripted immigrants.
Gonna take at least six of them to haul his lardass around.

Too good! A Palanquin!
It is not a word I get to use very often!
I was yelling the same thing from home, but I added "Head first!"
😂 Yes, less mess if his head explodes first. Not sure anything would splat out of it.
It would make good fish bait, worms and all.
They’d have a real feast if worm infested R Kennedy Jr was along! 😄
I actually came to the comments wondering if I was the only one who was hoping he’d fall or jump…🤣🤣🤣
You have a lot of company
The good news: Jeff, thank you for making me laugh all the way through this post. The bad news is Pres. Shitsalloverus is still batshit crazy and he didn't take a nosedive off that roof. WTF?????
“Pres Shitalloverus” 😂😂 Can I steal this phrase?
Yes. My pleasure!
😂
If he took a tumble would SS agents throw their bodies down to break his fall? Or try to catch him? Or...🤔
Try to unsee either attempt...
I hope that everyday!
Not a chance Kathy!
Sir, sir! They were yelling ‘trump! trump!’
they were yelling 'boo-urns'

on a related note, I can't wait to see how South Park destroys Noem tonight. I wish that the Kristi (golf pro/nazi) mix-up happened before the episode. And you KNOW they will use the Diddler on the Roof next time.
There was a show on a few years back, where they showed how South Park was written- weekly. The writers sit down the week before the show, consider current events and write that on the spot. So, you can expect timely and pertinent story lines, fer sure.
They used a fucklift
You did one better than me ! 👏
12 Secret Service agents carried him. Two of them were placed on disability afterwards.
Walt, are you ready to secede with CA and WA? Cascadia, part of Canada?
In a heartbeat!
Yes!
Must not have been natural for them......
Chopper lift
In a sling like a horse rescue.

I know it's been said a million times, but seriously, imagine the press reaction if Biden had wandered up to the roof of the White House to yell incoherently like that?! It'd be the top story in the news for the next several months and Fox News would wet themselves.
But in our current hellscape, it's just another Tuesday in the Upside Down, I Want Off This Goddamn Ride Land that is America in 2025.
Amen! Well, at least Biden would have climbed the stairs, not been carried up by Secret Service agents or hoisted with a crane. It's getting harder and harder for Fox and the corporate media to cover for Trump's increasingly obvious dementia, but I'm sure they will continue doing it until he appears wearing only his Depends with a Diet Coke in one hand and a line of Adderall in the other.
I didn't think you could have crowds around the WH?
It was “the press.” He was yelling out a “press conference.”
He levitated no doubt. 🤣
The only logical purpose for tonight's "secret" meeting would be to choose straws to determine who is going to tell Cankles McPedo he needs to resign in disgrace. Instead, they'll choose straws to determine who will be Cankle's human ballwasher the next time he's on the golf course.
They're gonna hold a pageant to see who is the Biggest Suck Up. My money is on Vance for Miss Congeniality and Most Eyeliner
Krusty Gnome won’t like losing a pageant.
It’s guyliner.
For “Taliban eyes”
I read somewhere yesterday speculation they were going to consider the 25th. The oligarchs don’t need him now that the Billionaire Boner (credit to JoJo from Jerz) & crypto bills have passed, the Project 2025 crew only need Couchfuck, & he’s humiliating Bondi & anchor baby Marco daily. Their loyalty to themselves may trump (so to speak) their loyalty to trump. And if they decide he’s more trouble than he’s worth….
You’re way off- Drumpf would never step down from his Presidential Palace- they would have to haul him away in a straight jacket( rather large one) him kicking and screaming. That would be fun to watch, but I don’t see it happening….
yet.
Or its to suck up to Vance in hopes of being his pick for VP.
I bet Vance is coming by everyday bringing a dozen of Trump's favorite donuts. "Eat up Mr President. They're all yours."
Because Couchfucker Magee loves hanging out in donut shops and rapping with his peeps.
He always down with the people who tell him what a donut is and he makes them cringe.
Nah, they're getting their story straight.
Great description : “Sgt. Pedo’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” and “White House Assisted Living Facility”——blathering idiot. Comer-seriously-get the fuck in the present time frame…leave Hillary, Obama, etc alone…focus on your damn job! Makes me sick—I don’t know how anyone can keep up covering this crap of lies…exhausting…but thanks to all who are telling the TRUTH!
You know Cheeto McPedo is on borrowed time when all of his heavyweight cover up horseshit artists want to get together in an attempt to stay on the same page. Comer will once again waste so much time and money with his distraction efforts by going after the GOPs usual suspects and once again not turning up a damn thing. In the meantime, it'll be a cold day in hell if the roof romper ever pays for anything let alone an obscene ballroom.
Sgt. Pedo’s Lonely Hearts Club Band is the best
Perhaps Sgt Pedo’s Phony Farts Club Band?
🤷♀️only bc the farts are about the only thing NOT phony about tRUMP
That's some real nasty ass trombone he's playing whether it's in a courtroom or a closed window meeting.
😂
They should laugh and defy until the Seditionist, rapist, 34-count felon is brought to justice FIRST!!
Arrest Obama. Please oh please oh please! What could possibly go wrong? He starts writing his Letters From A DC Jail. The wheels come completely off the urban troop carrier. Monkeywrenching begins, large and small, as American citizens discover a new hobby.
If that ever happened to President Obama the shit would hit the fan instantaneously— and the situation would get very, very ugly…
It is wonderful Kentucky voters love Comer. Comer and McConnell, - two of the best Kentucky has to offer to our authoritarian government.
Their stoopid makes the MAGATS feel right at home. How else could the dumbest white men in the room keep getting elected?
Moscow Mitch has fucked this country by denying Obama his SCOTUS nomination and then changing the rules in the retrumplican favor— I can’t stand that motherfucker!!
He really deserves more attention for his role in this coup.
Any Kentuckians out there that can tell me how the Turtle kept his job for 100 years? Did he actually accomplish anything for the Bluegrass State?
They can have that meeting to get their message straight all they want. But you know Dementia Donald will be the 1st to deviate. He just can’t help blurting stuff out. Ex: he never had the “privilege” to visit Epstein Island
Yes, I heard that and I figured he didn’t know the meaning of “privilege”, even after living surrounded by privilege all his life.
All he knows is privilege.
*He never did one day of manual labor in his life.
*Never shopped.
*Never did a speck of yard work.
*Never even carried a dish over to the sink after a meal.
*Never babysat.
*Never paid the bills.
*Never drove a car!
*Never followed the rules.
*Never helped someone for no recompense.
*And never ever ever, told the truth.
He is what evangelicals have spewed is the “Antichrist.” After thousands of years of fearing him, they have welcomed him as their new leader.
This is life in the Upside-Down.
He was never appreciative of his privileged life. The only thing he knows how to do is to find fault in anyone he dislikes. As an example, when he first met our new PM, he was thrilled to say what a nice man he was compared to Justin Trudeau. Now that Mark Carney is defending my country in the face of the 35% tariffs, he says how difficult Canada is to deal with. There’s only one person who’s difficult to deal with, and that is DJT when he meets other leaders who won’t kiss his big fat derrière. And my PM will never kiss it.
I wait for the day when he is California's PM.
We would welcome you with open arms. And you’d be able to be part of a select minority with dual citizenship. My father held dual citizenship, but he lost it once he served in the Canadian military. He found this out when he wanted to move the family to California.
His only logic is pretzel logic.
Walt! Off the charts excellent list.
Pampered MFing PedoFelon Roof Romper. Thanks for that last one.
I always wonder about a guy who never drove a car. (provided you’re nit handicapped or blind).
Oh, he can barely read and couldn't pass the driver's test. Have you ever seen that clip in court when he tries to read something?
Jeff, love today’s piece, especially that orange panted psycho on the roof of the WH. OT…Apparently there was a meeting the other day between Sec of Defense and Homeland Security. It centered around placing the military IN cities to assist ICE. The purpose of this meeting was to label undocumented migrants as “terrorists” and have the military remove this targeted community… This designation will serve the State in rounding up other communities, Black folks, folks who protest, folks defending these communities..basically any community that does not agree with Donald and the State… This will become more intense as we head for the midterms… 🤮 Best to All
This regime thinks the Constitution is only a wall decoration
Once again I am in need to ask this question, “Will the military follow their oath to defend the Constitution, or will they succumb to fascist rule?
Succumb to fascist rule. Just look at LA.
I hope you’re wrong, but fear you are right.
I wonder how their commander felt.
You don’t have to keep asking that question Walt- it’s now obvious.
I read that Hegseth's kid brother works for DHS and floated this turd of an idea, to deploy military commandos to U.S. neighborhoods as adjuncts to ICE. They'll probably end up using Whitewater mercenaries under Eric Prince as an interim. Great way to sabotage both the Olympics and the 2026 Midterms, not to mention our poor dying democracy.
It’s not bad enough we have to stomach the regurgitations of Pete Kegsbreath, now we have to deal with the entire Kegsbreath family? Calgon, make it go away!
Nice job, parents, when TWO of your sons are fascist fucks
It’s Calgone take me away.. to a universe far far away🤣🤣
That's frightening. I wonder what we can do about this. To bad there is no one in the military or or the courts to say no.
They still have soldiers in LA. It was stupid. They just stood there and did nothing because they out nu.bered and peaceful protesters by a lot.
Whither Jim Jordan? If Comer is gonna do anything it’s bound to engage Jim Jordan. That’s just science.
Jordan is at Macy’s. He heard someone say that boy’s pants were half off.
Classic. Those old jokes hold up.
The commission or wut ever it’s called with Comer, how can anyone address him as in “Sir may I speak you dis honorable fuck” how can he be taken seriously? He’s just like all of them dim bulbs but fifteen hundred percent more.
Now is our moment—today take action against this harmful government. They are:
• Spitting on count orders.
• Seeding rot and corruption.
• Shielding a pedophile trafficking ring in plain sight.
• Gut-punching a broken healthcare system—ripping coverage from 13 million lives.
• Abusing the poor, the needy, and children.
• Stealing from the poor to fatten the rich.
They gerrymandered their way to power in the House and are attempting to do more of that anti-democratic chicanery. I say we gerrymander back to equilibrium. Protest for Democratic governors to take action!
I made 54 protest signs to aid protest groups. I will make many more to share. You will see something different in these signs! Help yourself to this second batch, and share them as far as you can.

**big sigh**....in a world of disappointments it's the little things that make my day: "rake-steppingest fuckwit." Hahaha!
The fact that the Cadre of Pedo Protectors are having an "Epstein strategy" meeting should enrage 99% of the people in a sane world. Why would any meeting be necessary except to figure out how to shield Jabba the Pedo?
“Pedo President” has cachet. It will also bug the shit out of that fartknocker.
Every time Diddler on the Roof opens his mouth lately, it's like taking series of dives to the Titanic (NOT in a Dollar Store submersible): each time you see even more deterioration. It's accelerating.
Susan, I agree. It doesn’t seem possible that he can get worse, yet it’s a daily decline for the entire world to witness. And shows that the US is a weak, powerless bullshit country. What a great reputation.
What it shows is that there are powerful and obscenely wealthy people, in the background controlling the country while Trump acts like a stupid clown in the front of the country. That's why he is always getting in the news by saying or doing something crazy. It doesn't matter if he's senile. So much the better.
Yep. Sounds right to me.
You called it correctly. It represents a lot of my compatriots’ feelings toward the moron in chief.
A minor (ahem) point--what might one serve at a dinner to figure out how you're going to have a unified response to your boss running around with some other rapists?
Pigs in a blanket?
chicken liver soaked in lye? (lie)….I was thinking of something disgusting…lol
Wrapped with bacon great idea, barf for 3days.
Weinies
El Taco Loco 🌮 😵💫
Maybe they can get a recipe from the aussie gal who made beef Wellington with death cap mushrooms?
Michael Wolff who is T💩p's biographer said he got a call from a guy who said T💩p called him up specifically to say that he didn't have Epstein killed. That seems weird.
I think we have to assume that nothing is too weird, nothing is too perverse, nothing is too out of the mainstream in the Trump White House. (I wish I knew how to add that emoji, I love your spelling, Mary.) His new politics are just one obscenity after another.
Yes, Dotty. Please see “phony assassination attempt.”
Fight fight fight! 😂
Just right click on your mouse to add the 💩 emoji. I wholeheartedly agree with you about nothing being too weird with this guy.
Thanks for the tip!
Remember, every accusation is an admission.
“I want you to know that I didn’t kill my daughter,” were the first words Agnes Carpenter addressed to Barry Morrow, screenwriter of “The Karen Carpenter Story” (1989).
1. Fudd’s hearings will be must see C-Span tv
2. Crafting a response means sitting around a ouija board and hoping Epstein’s ghost can help
3. There will never be a smart way to cede power to Trump but there are a zillion dumbass ways.
Why should the Clintons show up? The Rescumlicans weren’t arrested for defiance. Fucking defy every request!
Gym Jordan never showed for HIS subpoena
Adam Schiff reminded Gym Jordan about his subpoena every. single. time. GJ is another useless POS!
Love our “ Smooth Jazz”
Senator Schiff !
Bill’s immune, and Hillary doesn’t have to testify against her husband. Obama’s immune. And WTF with Mueller & Lynch. Was Epstein even on anyone’s radar outside of those “in the know” back then? Comer’s going to need some extra rakes.
👍🏼That’s correct! Presidents are immune from responsibility for ANYTHING per the Felon-Lovers on SCOTUS.
Doesn't Mueller have Alzheimers?
I AM FURIOUS.
I AM OUTRAGED.
It is likely that there are dozens (or even hundreds) of young teenagers who were victims of pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his pedophile friends/clients. Sadly, one of those victims, Virginia Guiffre, committed suicide earlier this year. Did she commit suicide, or was she murdered to silence her from telling everyone what she knew.
It is my understanding that, so far, only two people were charged with committing criminal acts; one being pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, the other being his disgusting companion, Ghislaine Maxwell. It is my further understanding that only one person, that person being Prince Andrew, faced a civil (rather than a criminal) action stemming from the Epstein affair.
Given that dozens (and possibly hundreds) of underage girls were sexually abused, raped and trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell and that, so far, only two people, Epstein and Maxwell, have faced criminal charges, THE BIG QUESTIONS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE ARE:
A) WHO ARE THE OTHERS WHO ARE GUILTY OF CRIMES AGAINST THE UNDERAGE GIRLS WHO WERE SEXUALLY ABUSED, RAPED AND TRAFFICKED?
B) WHO IS RESPONSBILE FOR THE UNGOING COVERUP THAT IS PREVENTING PERPETRATORS OTHER THAN EPSTEIN AND MAXWELL FROM BEING CHARGED FOR THE HEINOUS CRIMES THAT WERE COMMITTED?
C) WHY IS THIS COVERUP CONTINUING; WHY ARE THESE CRIMES GOING UNPUNISHED?
FRANKLY, I DON’T CARE WHO IS ON THE LIST! NO MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY THEY HAVE, NO MATTER WHAT POSITIONS THEY HOLD IN THE BUSINESS WORLD, NO MATTER WHAT PUBLIC OFFICES THEY DID OR DO HOLD, THOSE WHO COMMITTED CRIMINAL ACTS AGAINST THE UNDERAGE GIRLS MUST BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE!!!
MUST. BE. BROUGHT. TO. JUSTICE!
The ATTORNEY GENERAL of the United States of America, Pam Bondi, is a liar.
a) “Bondi says Epstein client list ‘sitting on my desk right now’”
[Fox News on Feb 21, 2025 — US Attorney General Pam Bondi on Friday said the Jeffrey Epstein client list is "sitting on my desk right now" and she is reviewing the JFK and MLK files.]
b) “DOJ (which Bondi is the head of) says Epstein client list does not exist”
[PBS News on July 7, 2025 - WASHINGTON (AP) — Jeffrey Epstein did not maintain a “client list,” the Justice Department acknowledged Monday as it said no more files related to the wealthy financier’s sex trafficking investigation would be made public.
QUESTION: WHICH BONDI STATEMENT WAS THE LIE?
The DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE of the United States of America, led by Pam Bondi, who reports directly to President Donald J Trump, is involved in a coverup.
a) The DOJ tells us that Epstein committed suicide. Yet, there are gaps in the tapes. I, for one, believe that Epstein was murdered; this in order to prevent him from revealing the names of men who raped and otherwise sexually abused underage girls. It is well known – has been widely reported for years - that Trump, for decades, assisted Russian Oligarchs and Russian Mafia with laundering money through his real estate developments. Russian Mafia are notorious for committing murders to prevent people from testifying. Putin has a close relationship with the Russian Mafia. Putin did whatever he could do to see Trump win the presidency in 2016. Many believe that Trump withdrawing support for Ukraine is Trump’s way of bending the knee to his Master, Putin.
b) Reported on August 1st, 2025, on Bloomberg News: “The FBI Redacted Trump’s Name in the Epstein Files” - The bureau’s FOIA team tasked with conducting a final review of the records blacked out the names before higher-ups said last month that releasing the documents ‘would not be appropriate or warranted.’
Bloomberg reporter Jason Leopold: “Welcome back to FOIA Files! This week, I’m delving into the Jeffrey Epstein saga: We know from news reports that Trump’s name was in the Epstein files. But what hasn’t been reported is that an FBI FOIA team redacted Trump’s name—and the names of other prominent public figures—from the documents, according to three people familiar with the matter who were not authorized to speak with the media. That team, tasked with conducting a final review of the voluminous cache, had applied the redactions before the DOJ and the FBI concluded last month that “no further disclosure” of the files “would be appropriate or warranted.”
c) Todd Blanche, 2nd in command at the DOJ and formerly Donald J Trump’s personal attorney, interviews Ghislaine Maxwell. If this isn’t a case of the fox guarding the henhouse, I don’t know what would be. We should take for granted that this interview was all about Blanche trying to find out what Maxwell knows about Trump’s involvement with pedophile Epstein. Shortly after that interview took place, sex trafficker, sexual abuser Maxwell is moved to a minimum security prison camp.
d) Reported by NBC News on August 1, 2025: “Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirator and confidant, was moved to a minimum-security federal prison camp in Texas, prison officials said Friday. Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in recruiting and trafficking minors for sex, was being held at a low-security facility in Tallahassee, Florida, that housed men and women. The camp in Bryan, Texas, houses only women. A majority of its inmates are serving time for nonviolent offenses and white-collar crimes. The move comes a week after Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche met with Maxwell and her lawyer, David Oscar Markus, for nine hours over two days. Blanche has made no public statements about what Maxwell said or about next steps in the current Justice Department investigation into Epstein, the financier and convicted sex offender who died by suicide in jail in 2019.
e) Reported by the Boston Globe on August 3, 2025: “Trump seems suspiciously open to a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell.” Gee F’ing Whiz – what better way to make sure that Maxwell keeps her mouth shut about Trump’s involvement with Epstein and underage girls than….. than to use a presidential pardon to bribe Maxwell to keep her mouth shut!
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT THE EPSTEIN FILES TO BE RELEASED!!! ALL OF THEM. THE ONLY REDACTIONS THAT SHOULD BE MADE ARE REDACTIONS TO BLANK OUT THE NAMES OF THE GIRLS WHO WERE SEXUALLY ABUSED, RAPED AND TRAFFICKED.
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT ALL OF THE PERPETRATORS OF CRIMES AGAINST THESE YOUNG GIRLS TO BE INDICTED AND TRIED. THEY MUST BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE!
The question I also have is has Melania ever been subpoenaed and questioned? Has she ever made a statement? She is in many pictures with Donny, Epstein and Maxwell. She obviously has some sort of knowledge of what was going on. If she claims otherwise she's part of the conspiracy.
Rage is the right reaction. Any full exposure must also include all the young boys groomed, raped and trafficked over many decades. It is high time any and all VIPs who have in any way benefitted from this multi nation state protected global network of power abuse are held criminally accountable.
Please don’t stop demanding justice is seen to be done but do not set your hopes too high for your health’s sake.
Way too long; definitely didn’t read
