and I never got around to writing about Jimmy Kimmel's return and Donny's infantile not-tweet about it
here's my favorite except from Kimmel: "you almost have to feel sorry for him. he tried his best to cancel me, then he forced millions of people to watch the show. well, that backfired bigly. he might have to release the Epstein files to distract from this now"
The administration was not elevated for skill, integrity, or experience. They were chosen because they would respond as told, sneer when ordered, and parrot whatever falsehood the moment required. Credentials meant nothing; loyalty was everything. In place of statesmen, we got lackeys. Instead of leaders, we got frauds. Sycophantic liars, hand-picked to serve a demented felon.
Kimmel knocked it out of the park last night. It.Was.Epic. The 1/2 hr monologue is on YouTube for those who live in Sinclair/Nextstar places. Here you go!!! I watched it again this morning it was soooooo good!!!!
I know. Kimmel has always had a soft heart. He gets very emotional about the kind of stuff the rest of us get emotional about. He's a normal human being. And that is sorely missing in this damn f'd up cruel as hell administration. Kimmel is a breath of fresh air we all are desperate to have. xoxoxoxo
Yes, thank you! We were just about to post an update on Kimmel's indefinite suspension when the great news came in that he was returning, so we were able to run with that instead (and published the YouTube link you sent)! I saw now that the YouTube link to his comeback is now past 20 million views... :), with millions of comments from around the world. https://mindsitenews.org/2025/09/23/jimmy-kimmel-returned-tonight-as-abc-under-pressure-lifts-comedians-suspension/
My ABC affiliate here in New Orleans is owned by Nexstar, so I had to see Kimmel's monologue on YouTube. Nexstar and Sinclair can eff all the way off. I am not supporting anything Disney any longer, either, and any company that ran commercials during the "blackout" last night. Looking especially hard at you, Wendy's! Dave Thomas must be spinning in his grave.
Unfortunately, I have worked for both Nexstar & SBG. I can fully report that both companies are indeed SATAN. Nexstar was a freelance gig, but the SBG job was for over 3 years. SBG is insidious, promoting their far right agenda often subliminally - making it to look & sound like regular news, but it never really is. Local TV stations are the final gatekeeper. People rely on them to give us the correct weather, sports coverage, and an impartial reporting of local & national news. As much as Fox News, SBG is responsible for where are today - living in "the worst possible timeline."
I have DISH so - get all the 'regular' channels plus some I'd never heard of before. We couldn't WAIT to tune into Jimmy Kimmel LIVE last night. I even cut away from my now must-watch every night at 11 - 1a.m. reruns of: 'Homicide, Life on the Street'. I loved it way back when and am catching some of the earlier shows I missed. The First crew: Yaphet Koto, Richard BELZER, Daniel Baldwin (who was very good then), Isabella Hoffman, Melissa Leo, Andre Braugher (be still my heart...I had a mad crush on him but never told hubby, was so sad to find out that he passed in 2021 at 61). Kyle Secor (not a fan), Clark Johnson. THE singularly best cop show predating all of the others with Belzer moving onto Law & Order. He too passed in 2021 at 78. Probably the funniest and most erudite member of the cast. In real life was an admitted conspiracy theorist and authored several conspiracist books...just might have been a frumpist although he appeared on Howard Stern a LOT so might have taken the same direction he did. Saw Richard once IN Baltimore Harbour Plaza. Wanted to ask for his autograph but don't do that kind of thing since he was shopping, deserved his privacy.
It WAS and the reruns prove that they were decades ahead of their time (except for the phones - the episodes could take place right now). SOME of the treatment of 'perps' and suspected-to-be-guilty people is a little heavy-handed by our standards but the interaction between the Squad members was and is truly innovative. It saddens me to see Andre Braugher smoking constantly ONSET, knowing that he died of lung cancer. He was THE classy, knowledgeable Frank Pembleton dressed impeccably, thinking impeccably and always questioning, questioning, questioning. I SO MISS that kind of 'cop show'. The 'deep' is built into every. single. episode. Oh my, I can scarcely tear myself away, even for Jimmy. On DISH the station is called 'CHARGE' and also carries the Law & Order, CSI's and now Criminal Minds (which I loved but can't now rewatch). It cuts out often (we live in a weird 'zone' unfriendly to computers/cellphones and, presumably, satellite reception) for some odd reason, but I persist.
You'll have more opportunity. DRumpy surely isn't finished ranting about Kimmel and his merry band of late night hosts. Going to sit back and watch the ratings and viewer stats go up and up.
This is the perfect encapsulation of Trumpism -- because of its obsession with imagery, the White House crew caused a problem but blamed it on other people, leading to MAGA making threats against the United Nations for their own screw up
I will when I go back to Europe. American allies need to worry. I am wondering whether the US is still part of the NATO under Trump. I wrote this piece today.
Yes Douglas. Follow Canada's lead. Jacob Kaasbo was on Dean Blundell's and Zev Shalev's Podcast. He is former head of Danish intelligence and he is a Substacker. He was saying that Ukraine is a better friend to the EU than the US, and now that Russia is ramping up, they need help from Ukraine because that is the best country to learn drone warfare from.
Denmark has been strengthening its defense systems and spending large sums to get ready for Russian aggression. They have also donated to Ukraine very generously.
They are the country most attuned to the new realities in Europe and with NATO
Ole, I believe that. It seems that all of the Scandinavian countries are really prepared for Russian aggression. I read that there was a week of exercises to prepare the civilian population. I have been bothering my city in Germany about this. Three years ago when I asked about what was going on with the bomb shelters in our city, since I have an old one about 7 minutes walk from my house, I want it brought up to standard. I ask each year. Last winter I got a response that they will all be on an app. Welcome Russia, find our bomb shelters and send Drones to them. I also asked for civilian training. I got no response but read that they are using one city, near me as a model to do training and then will do it countrywide. We shall see. I am going to nag once I am back and have sold my house in the USA. Without that ball and chain I will be able to breathe again.
I know I have to go to my political party to really get a say in this.
Was pod asters yesterday? It's hard for me to keep track of all of podcasts if they just don't appear. Ukraine is amazing. They learn and adapt. I just read & learned that if it wasn't for Ukrainians, the Germans would have beaten the Russians.
Found this in Heather Richardson writing, "“A senior foreign diplomat posted at the U.N. texts me,” Tharoor wrote, “‘This man is stark, raving mad. Do Americans not see how embarrassing this is?’”
As I keep repeating, I did not vote for or support the man, and I am not embarrassed by his behavior, he and his friends, family and supporters need to be. He reflects on them.
Those who think we are all that stupid are all that stupid too. I don't worry about them. I worry about the general lack of trust in our government in the world and what it will mean for us and the world in the long run that under Trump we are not trustworthy.
I would like to see a massive protest demanding that Trump be removed and JD Vance too.
I might mention....E. Jean Carroll has begun a paper clip protest. For those who support her calling Rump to account, wearing a paper clip means solidarity. It's an anti-MAGA symbol. I'm making very simple pins, earrings, and pendants for my friends, but just a plain clip attached anywhere on your clothes works. Pass it on.
Sanders, nuh uh. He's barely a feminist, and his Bros were some of the most vile misogynists I've ever faced on social media. Complaints of harassment and pay inequity in his campaign as well. If he had backed Clinton, we wouldn't be in this mess. I'm old and wanted the 1st woman president more. I also think a Dem Socialist who happened to be Jewish in a world half-filled with MAGATS would not have been the shoe-in some folks believe.
Right up there with windmills causing 'noise cancer'. Still can't believe he came up with those two words in sequence. Kind of like how he randomly combines 'stable' with 'genius'. This guy's brain!
Yeah, remember when Obama and Biden used teleprompters and were mocked by the right? "Biden's so senile that he can't deliver a 45 minute address from memory!"
Well, I guess I can accept the Escalator Catastrophe as a horrifying moment for Donnie Demento: can you imagine his panic at having to CLIMB STAIRS?????!!!! Where's his golf cart when he needs it? Someone fetch it from the green immediately!
Thank you for your attention to this matter that is Jimmy Kimmel's fault.
He likely shat and farted himself all the way up the (escalator) steps and his cankles got him rankled enough to give that twatty whining sniveling excuse for a speech. I kept wishing that the attendees would laugh or snort or get up or boo and leave the auditorium.
I'm surprised Hannibal Lector wasn't added to the story. Trapped on an escalator, Hannibal Lector wanted to have me for dinner. The Great Hannibal Lector.
“Really?! that’s an amazing amount of victimization and helplessness from someone with so much power. Not to mention a complete lack of perspective, and an incredible amount of self-centeredness…”
Morgan, I guarantee a fishing boat will, maybe has already been blown to bits because ‘elevator rhymes with alligator and it swallowed the battery then ate a shark probably bigger than anybody has ever seen’ if not for cheap fucking terrazzo floor and decor that isn’t from the 1600s to impress the serfs….and broke the word thingy eyes closed farting and snoring begins dear leader you are giving a speech sir, sir?
Don’t tell us what’s on it. But after the chop job they did on the Epstein death watch vid who could believe anything they willingly surrendered.
Homan is an easy one to Despise at first look and then what he says with that mouth full of marbles voice of his makes you double down on detesting him.
He’s got ‘Jail guard ‘ written all over every ounce of his dna
Musk said he has the Epstein files. He also purportedly told Shitler at Kirk's death rally: "We either hang together or we hang separately." Either way suits me.
Last night ABC News with David Muir described Trump's UN speech as "fiery." I'm guessing there must be a meaning of "fiery" that isn't known to me, and there are definitely no more journalists at ABC News.
Perhaps "fiery," meaning racist as all fuck. "People you've never seen before, ones you have nothing in common with," he tells the European leaders about immigrants.....It was a moment demanding someone with very good aim with a shoe to be in the captive audience.
Muir actually looked stressed and chagrined while saying it, though. Although, I would not label him a journalist; just another pretty boy news reader.
Well, actually, not so much. Simply reporting the event would be, "President tRump gave a 45-minute speech at the UN today." The "fiery" adjective adds shading. Considering the speaker and the venue, I'd say the shading was meant to be positive. As an English major and someone who worked in publishing for almost 20 years, I pick up right away on how words are used. Subtle and not-so-subtle bias is everywhere (looking at you, NYT).
Perhaps it was when he finally piped up his faltering voice and told the world leaders, "You're countries are going to hell!!!" FIRE and BRIMSTONE right there!
Canada's PM Mark Carney gave us a divine dose of reality yesterday, stating Canada's move to non-dependence and increased defensive resources again the U.S. was "not a Transition. This is a Rupture." No going back.
That whole series of words was batshit crazy. What did that actually mean? Are the borders being raptured into an amorphous blob? I have no idea. Maybe we could ask a MAGA? They seem to have the magic decoder ring.
Perhaps the sensors on the escalator detected that someone had a Tylenol caplet on them, which (rightfully so) brought the system to an emergency stop. It’s an important safety measure designed to keep the members of the UN from coming down with autism.
From HCR's latest Substack... "...foreign affairs journalist Ishaan Tharoor who captured the larger story of Trump’s speech.
“A senior foreign diplomat posted at the U.N. texts me,” Tharoor wrote, “‘This man is stark, raving mad. Do Americans not see how embarrassing this is?’”
Unlike other sane countries- USA does not have a procedure to remove Presidents when they are doing insane or criminal acts. We are stuck with this burst bag of personality defects until he croaks or entirely goes wacko…which we hope is soon. So, HOPE is about it!
We do have procedures: 25th Amendment, impeachment. What we don’t have, unfortunately, is enough Congressional Republicans who aren’t too chickenshit to use them.
But we don’t have RECALLS or new elections . Impeachment only happens when the House or Senate has majority of the party that’s NOT the Presidents party, and it votes to impeach, and remove from office.
Wasn't he allotted 15 minutes? Time changes all meaning when Trump gets ahold of it. He must have taken 15 to mean metaphor for an hour, or however long he can talk.
What would have happened if the UN turned off the microphone after his alloted 15 minutes, and played music to encourage him to leave the stage......I would laugh!
Kim, an idea, but here are the possible problems. With music he would be up there dancing. Also he might have continued talking without the mike, or waited for the mike. That fits with the behavior I have heard him have. However, you are on the right track to try to workaround him.
And nobody stopped him...discreetly, with a giant crook, or even pulling a fire alarm. Of course, a fire alarm in comparison to a stopped elevator? He might have had a serious heart attack!
15 minutes or 56, that guy sounded like an escapee from Laughing Pines Care Assisted Living… He is so fucking dumb, arrogant, entitled, and just a horrible human being.. Don’t get me started with his Euro concubine….I’m sure she was given extra $$$ to make an appearance, then run back to her penthouse and take care of poor little Baron🤮
His list when he thinks he'll be at the Pearly Gates now includes international embarrassment, to go along with crook, thief, adulterer, rapist, pedophile, liar, traitor, insurrectionist, bully, braggart, tax cheat, failed businessman, convicted felon, creep, and all around shitty person.
Yeah, but he RAN as a crook, thief, adulterer, rapist, pedophile, liar, traitor, insurrectionist, bully, braggart, tax cheat, failed businessman, convicted felon, creep, and all around shitty person.
As it turns out, a member of the Orange Pedophilic Sadist's OWN entourage was the one who accidentally pressed a button at the top of the escalator which turned it off. (lol) Also, the teleprompter was the responsibility of U.S. WORKERS -- not UN people. Always the victim.
AND, appeared to have his other hand in his pocket! I always need to hold onto the handrail with one hand so as not to fall! I miss Pres O! Very cool! 😎
I love it that one of his own WH staff sabotaged him, cancelling the teleprompter and forcing the bag of shit to wing it. He nuked himself in the eyes of the world.
Not sabotage, incompetence. Like everybody else he hires, the teleprompter person probably has no clue how to work a teleprompter. These people couldn't find their way out of a phone booth, if those still existed. I'm talking about the ones with the doors that closed. Yes, I'm old.
Really? Wow! I didn't think there were any pay phones left at all, much less the older ones with doors. My brother, the klutz who attracts bad luck like a magnet, was once in one of those phone booths when a car crashed into it. The man has been in 8 car accidents, including two in which he was not actually in a car at the time. None of them were his fault. He no longer drives, so that's probably a good thing.
1. No, Donny, our country is going to hell, thanks to you, dumbass
2 Were Donny’s hands pantomiming a shape of a young girl?
3. This regime governs by bullshit. Donny’s Dummies fucked up the works, but his sycophants always lie: see also Kristi Noem and VP Couchfucker on the ICE facility shooting
The Democrats approved this Cabinet. Even Kristi Noem: ANDY KIM (New Jersey), SHAHEEN & HASSAN (New Hampshire), SLOTKIN & PETERS (Michigan), KAINE (Clinton's running mate), and FETTERMAN (Pennsylvania). I assume the above hate dogs and love masked men with guns.
And for all their appeasements, Democrats will be blamed for the government shutting down, after Shitler cancelled his meeting with them to negotiate the budget/CR.
Not how it is polling. And shutdown responsibility has always gotten worse for the party in power as the deadline approaches and then as the shutdown drags on.
Why do you Mike McWeasal Johnson is bringing the House back two days early?
A stopped escalator! A broken teleprompter! The whole UN is one big conspiracy! Seriously though, the people who were all collapsing on their fainting couches over people criticizing Charlie Kirk are now advocating for summary execution of whoever stopped the escalator transporting their dear leader. Can we *officially* agree that we are no longer the snowflakes? (My vote for actual problem goes to President Fuckwit set off the overweight sensor).
Another appeal for anyone in his sociopathic corrupt criminal Cabinet or GOP to involve the 25th Amendment.
Any rational thinking person of any political leaning comfortable with the criminal elect’s tiny orange fingers gripping the nuclear football is as insane as Stephen Goebbels.
and I never got around to writing about Jimmy Kimmel's return and Donny's infantile not-tweet about it
here's my favorite except from Kimmel: "you almost have to feel sorry for him. he tried his best to cancel me, then he forced millions of people to watch the show. well, that backfired bigly. he might have to release the Epstein files to distract from this now"
Jimmy’s monologue was a 10 last night. He completely nailed it!
The appearance by Robert De Niro was priceless.
The administration was not elevated for skill, integrity, or experience. They were chosen because they would respond as told, sneer when ordered, and parrot whatever falsehood the moment required. Credentials meant nothing; loyalty was everything. In place of statesmen, we got lackeys. Instead of leaders, we got frauds. Sycophantic liars, hand-picked to serve a demented felon.

Thank you! I'm in Canada publishing my first books as an independent publisher. Crazy deadlines, but I really want to watch this!!
You are very welcome. :)
Thank you Valerie 🙏 I'm crying from the beginning 😭

And that is sorely missing in this damn f'd up cruel as hell administration. Kimmel is a breath of fresh air we all are desperate to have. xoxoxoxo

That's gonna leave a mark. Got-damn.
Brilliance!
All Americans now need to wear paper bags on our heads.
All the escalators in America will be halted tomorrow, and we'll all have to use the stairs in recognition of our Leader's tragic climb.
There will be lapel pins.
Well at least they'll have to replace their AR pins for a minute. Until the next whinefest.
Paper clips. (It’s a resistance thing. See E Jean Carroll for an explainer)
THIS!
And tee shirts.
I think Challenge Coins.
I will when I go back to Europe. American allies need to worry. I am wondering whether the US is still part of the NATO under Trump. I wrote this piece today.
https://lindaweide.substack.com/p/is-the-us-still-part-of-nato?r=f0qfn
NO...NATO needs to forget the US and do what it needs to do. Europe was implored tondo this 6 years ago. Follow Canada's lead.
Yes Douglas. Follow Canada's lead. Jacob Kaasbo was on Dean Blundell's and Zev Shalev's Podcast. He is former head of Danish intelligence and he is a Substacker. He was saying that Ukraine is a better friend to the EU than the US, and now that Russia is ramping up, they need help from Ukraine because that is the best country to learn drone warfare from.

We’re living in a world gone mad Linda!
Found this in Heather Richardson writing, "“A senior foreign diplomat posted at the U.N. texts me,” Tharoor wrote, “‘This man is stark, raving mad. Do Americans not see how embarrassing this is?’”
As I keep repeating, I did not vote for or support the man, and I am not embarrassed by his behavior, he and his friends, family and supporters need to be. He reflects on them.
I am embarrassed for the United States. I don't want other countries to think that all of us are stupid.
Those who think we are all that stupid are all that stupid too. I don't worry about them. I worry about the general lack of trust in our government in the world and what it will mean for us and the world in the long run that under Trump we are not trustworthy.
I would like to see a massive protest demanding that Trump be removed and JD Vance too.
And, we need to remind ourselves of our own sanity to recognize that Patrick.
...så jag flygger till Stockholm den nästa veckan, där måsta jag berätta alla att jag är kanadensisk. 🙄
Good plan. Even though the Canadians don't appreciate it much.
I might mention....E. Jean Carroll has begun a paper clip protest. For those who support her calling Rump to account, wearing a paper clip means solidarity. It's an anti-MAGA symbol.

🤣really! Smdh
Yes, you do! 😉 #elbowsup 🇨🇦
😂😂😂
Wow. That beautiful photo of a normal U.S. president holding a cup of coffee(?) made my day!
Linda, I came on to say, "I really miss President Obama!"
I miss Joe too :/
Most of all, I miss Presidents Gore, Sanders and Harris....
Excellent point. Oh what coulda, woulda, shoulda.
You win the internet today, Linda!
Sanders, nuh uh. He's barely a feminist, and his Bros were some of the most vile misogynists I've ever faced on social media. Complaints of harassment and pay inequity in his campaign as well. If he had backed Clinton, we wouldn't be in this mess. I'm old and wanted the 1st woman president more. I also think a Dem Socialist who happened to be Jewish in a world half-filled with MAGATS would not have been the shoe-in some folks believe.
Yes, I sighed loudly. 😔
Such grace. Ahhhh. I remember that time fondly.
REALLY wish I could ❤️ this more than once :/
Yes! and so fit and confident he doesn't need to hold onto the handrail and even has his free hand in his pocket.
I’ve been saying for the past few months that I wish it were 2010 again.
so I guess escalators and teleprompters are the new sharks and batteries crisis 🙄
Right up there with windmills causing 'noise cancer'. Still can't believe he came up with those two words in sequence. Kind of like how he randomly combines 'stable' with 'genius'. This guy's brain!
Don’t forget about the bird crisis as they get fried when they land on solar panels 😵💫
Of course! Plus during his speech he says the escalator died midway, when clearly he just got on.
- @gigi133.bsky.social
👆For some reason this detail FKN IRKS!!!
Melania was midway up when he finally resigned himself to walking up too.
Yeah, remember when Obama and Biden used teleprompters and were mocked by the right? "Biden's so senile that he can't deliver a 45 minute address from memory!"
So Rs completely flip-flop on that whole teleprompter ‘angle’ - and no one calls them out on it. JFC this is exhausting…!!!!
If this GAME is THAT BLATANTLY RIGGED (press bias) - and everyone just *shrugs* and goes about their DAY? WTAF, WE THE PEOPLE🤬‼️⁉️
Well, I guess I can accept the Escalator Catastrophe as a horrifying moment for Donnie Demento: can you imagine his panic at having to CLIMB STAIRS?????!!!! Where's his golf cart when he needs it? Someone fetch it from the green immediately!
Thank you for your attention to this matter that is Jimmy Kimmel's fault.
He likely shat and farted himself all the way up the (escalator) steps and his cankles got him rankled enough to give that twatty whining sniveling excuse for a speech. I kept wishing that the attendees would laugh or snort or get up or boo and leave the auditorium.
He thinks he should just be able to float everywhere, like that noble character in Dune.
There is a kind of resemblance...
trump prolly has to be carried around inside the white hose.
I’ve seen videos of Dumpy walking up stairs to Air Force One, so we know he can do that.
I'm surprised Hannibal Lector wasn't added to the story. Trapped on an escalator, Hannibal Lector wanted to have me for dinner. The Great Hannibal Lector.

The entire world is laughing at the crazy felon...and us. It's so obvious he's insane - so release the damned Epstein Files already. 🙄
Release the Homan files too!!
Yes. Let’s hold that
Fat Fvcks feet to the fire on this !
Release the video!
Don’t tell us what’s on it. But after the chop job they did on the Epstein death watch vid who could believe anything they willingly surrendered.
Homan is an easy one to Despise at first look and then what he says with that mouth full of marbles voice of his makes you double down on detesting him.
He’s got ‘Jail guard ‘ written all over every ounce of his dna
Homan looks like a Dick Tracy character. Maybe Shit for Brains.
I’d like to see him with his Dick in the wringer over this but who’s gonna do it? So much that Joe left undone!
😂😂😂
“Bordello gift shop” was my LOL this morning.
I think of it as the White Trash Versailles.
I saw episode on life of Bob Guccione and HE liked gold...but he had great artwork theu house.
You just know somebody has those files on a thumb drive. Too many have had access over the years.
Musk said he has the Epstein files. He also purportedly told Shitler at Kirk's death rally: "We either hang together or we hang separately." Either way suits me.
I vote for separately
I vote for by the toes.
By the man parts😂
That was awesome.
Going on The List.
YES! 😂😂😂 Soooo good.
Barking mad he is!🥴🥴😵💫
Last night ABC News with David Muir described Trump's UN speech as "fiery." I'm guessing there must be a meaning of "fiery" that isn't known to me, and there are definitely no more journalists at ABC News.
His diaper explosion was “fiery”. 🔥
LOL
Me too! 🤣😂
I hope so
😂😂
Perhaps "fiery," meaning racist as all fuck. "People you've never seen before, ones you have nothing in common with," he tells the European leaders about immigrants.....It was a moment demanding someone with very good aim with a shoe to be in the captive audience.
Bush escaped the flying shoe by ducking.
Demento doesn't have the reflexes Bush did.
Muir actually looked stressed and chagrined while saying it, though. Although, I would not label him a journalist; just another pretty boy news reader.
Pants on fire?
Firey is the new adjective for " insane".
They simply report events, they don’t distinguish good or bad and right or wrong
ABC not gonna stick out their necks and say what it really was, which is normal for the MSM. Just more sanewashing. Cowards.
Well, actually, not so much. Simply reporting the event would be, "President tRump gave a 45-minute speech at the UN today." The "fiery" adjective adds shading. Considering the speaker and the venue, I'd say the shading was meant to be positive. As an English major and someone who worked in publishing for almost 20 years, I pick up right away on how words are used. Subtle and not-so-subtle bias is everywhere (looking at you, NYT).
Perhaps it was when he finally piped up his faltering voice and told the world leaders, "You're countries are going to hell!!!" FIRE and BRIMSTONE right there!
Fiery!?!??🤮🤮
"amorphous"? I've got eleventy billion bitcoins to bet that he has no f*cking idea what that word means.
people are saying he thinks it means "more of us."
sensors on escalator detected extreme weight overload and leaky fluids.
what happened with yesterday's "rupture?"
Canada's PM Mark Carney gave us a divine dose of reality yesterday, stating Canada's move to non-dependence and increased defensive resources again the U.S. was "not a Transition. This is a Rupture." No going back.
Didnt I read somewhere that today could be an alternate date.... you know, in case god was busy or something???????
That's right, we're still here. Funny how that happens.
it's funny for those with functioning cognitive abilities.
it's pathetic and alarming for the rodent cult
We still have a few hours, or they do.
God decided he didn’t want ‘em because they are trash people.
That whole series of words was batshit crazy. What did that actually mean? Are the borders being raptured into an amorphous blob? I have no idea. Maybe we could ask a MAGA? They seem to have the magic decoder ring.
Perhaps the sensors on the escalator detected that someone had a Tylenol caplet on them, which (rightfully so) brought the system to an emergency stop. It’s an important safety measure designed to keep the members of the UN from coming down with autism.
or....it sensed that a women was on birth control?! (Well, not Melania, of course....).
You nailed it!
😂😂😂
From HCR's latest Substack... "...foreign affairs journalist Ishaan Tharoor who captured the larger story of Trump’s speech.
“A senior foreign diplomat posted at the U.N. texts me,” Tharoor wrote, “‘This man is stark, raving mad. Do Americans not see how embarrassing this is?’”
Good lord do we see how embarrassingly stupid he is? Oh yeah, we see it, we see it every f*king day…
Unlike other sane countries- USA does not have a procedure to remove Presidents when they are doing insane or criminal acts. We are stuck with this burst bag of personality defects until he croaks or entirely goes wacko…which we hope is soon. So, HOPE is about it!
We do have procedures: 25th Amendment, impeachment. What we don’t have, unfortunately, is enough Congressional Republicans who aren’t too chickenshit to use them.
Who aren't too utterly corrupt to use them.
But we don’t have RECALLS or new elections . Impeachment only happens when the House or Senate has majority of the party that’s NOT the Presidents party, and it votes to impeach, and remove from office.
New elections in most other countries also happen only when a majority of the legislature votes No Confidence in the existing government.
Yes! Spot on again, MsNicky!
I take issue with the implication that the U.S. is a sane country.
Jeff, Trump actually spoke for 56 MINUTES. You're the last person I'd ever expect to downplay Trump's transgressions!
was it 56? I don't know where I read it was 45. but now seven hundred people will email a correction, so I got that going for me. which is nice.
Wasn't he allotted 15 minutes? Time changes all meaning when Trump gets ahold of it. He must have taken 15 to mean metaphor for an hour, or however long he can talk.
You are right, that fuckwit abomination has altered the very fabric of time, a 'groundhog day' loop of hell while our lives are slipping away.
Well put Kathy!
What would have happened if the UN turned off the microphone after his alloted 15 minutes, and played music to encourage him to leave the stage......I would laugh!
Kim, an idea, but here are the possible problems. With music he would be up there dancing. Also he might have continued talking without the mike, or waited for the mike. That fits with the behavior I have heard him have. However, you are on the right track to try to workaround him.
He is claiming that after a while only people who had translators' earpieces could hear him; Melania said she couldn't hear him....
He was on amorphous time
And nobody stopped him...discreetly, with a giant crook, or even pulling a fire alarm. Of course, a fire alarm in comparison to a stopped elevator? He might have had a serious heart attack!
All Caddyshack references are evergreen.
Animal House too
You have so many editors. Ain't it grand?
nice spin
(no such thing as ‘bad attention?’)
Oh my god. Such a great movie.
🤣🤣
15 minutes or 56, that guy sounded like an escapee from Laughing Pines Care Assisted Living… He is so fucking dumb, arrogant, entitled, and just a horrible human being.. Don’t get me started with his Euro concubine….I’m sure she was given extra $$$ to make an appearance, then run back to her penthouse and take care of poor little Baron🤮
His list when he thinks he'll be at the Pearly Gates now includes international embarrassment, to go along with crook, thief, adulterer, rapist, pedophile, liar, traitor, insurrectionist, bully, braggart, tax cheat, failed businessman, convicted felon, creep, and all around shitty person.
Yeah, but he RAN as a crook, thief, adulterer, rapist, pedophile, liar, traitor, insurrectionist, bully, braggart, tax cheat, failed businessman, convicted felon, creep, and all around shitty person.
So authenticity/transparency?
😒🙄😓
Criminals love working with other criminals… Donald merely proves my point.
I still think that's a Melania double...
Haven't seen much of future 'Mommies little basement dweller' Barron 'Lurch' Trump lately. A modicum of relief from the Trump sightings.
The Dunning Kruger effect in full view. Or should it be affect.? I never know with those words.
Supposably she gave a speech also? On what topic?
Being best?
Children - a continuation of what she said in her letter to Papa Putin.
I mean they are so astronomical it would be 35 copies of war and peace to cover ALL of Trumps sins.
Yes, yes, and yes!
Achievement Unlocked.
Tolstoy couldn’t handle the fecal broth coming out of his mouth.
As it turns out, a member of the Orange Pedophilic Sadist's OWN entourage was the one who accidentally pressed a button at the top of the escalator which turned it off. (lol) Also, the teleprompter was the responsibility of U.S. WORKERS -- not UN people. Always the victim.
Figures. What an embarrassment those fucking clowns are to sane people.
I read that people on Trump's staff were running his telepromter.
yup! the "best people" of course.
More fodder for distracted press. Corruption on the back burner news wise.
The photo of Obama made me so sad. We used to have a sane, decent, intelligent POTUS, and now… 😭
And, look--he can actually ride an escalator and hold a cup of coffee AT THE SAME TIME.
Never mind sanity, decency, and intelligence--the coffee would have exceeded Demento's skill level.
AND, appeared to have his other hand in his pocket! I always need to hold onto the handrail with one hand so as not to fall! I miss Pres O! Very cool! 😎
Made me sad too but laugh out loud revenge healed me.
I thought one of his bigly man strengths was he never uses teleprompters. Huh.
I love it that one of his own WH staff sabotaged him, cancelling the teleprompter and forcing the bag of shit to wing it. He nuked himself in the eyes of the world.
Not sabotage, incompetence. Like everybody else he hires, the teleprompter person probably has no clue how to work a teleprompter. These people couldn't find their way out of a phone booth, if those still existed. I'm talking about the ones with the doors that closed. Yes, I'm old.
I dunno. It kinda tickles me to think that WH staff might be secretly sabotaging him.
Me, too. Wouldn't that be some fun?
As long as you don't hear "OFF WITH HIS HEAD!" and see movement in your direction.
It would! Those would be some memoirs, huh?
There's one of those about ½ mile from me, believe it or not.
Really? Wow! I didn't think there were any pay phones left at all, much less the older ones with doors. My brother, the klutz who attracts bad luck like a magnet, was once in one of those phone booths when a car crashed into it. The man has been in 8 car accidents, including two in which he was not actually in a car at the time. None of them were his fault. He no longer drives, so that's probably a good thing.
Yikes, where they all in the same state? If so, we'll be sure not to drive there....(or to get in a phone booth:)
No, I believe they occurred in Kansas, Colorado and Pennsylvania.
1. No, Donny, our country is going to hell, thanks to you, dumbass
2 Were Donny’s hands pantomiming a shape of a young girl?
3. This regime governs by bullshit. Donny’s Dummies fucked up the works, but his sycophants always lie: see also Kristi Noem and VP Couchfucker on the ICE facility shooting
The Democrats approved this Cabinet. Even Kristi Noem: ANDY KIM (New Jersey), SHAHEEN & HASSAN (New Hampshire), SLOTKIN & PETERS (Michigan), KAINE (Clinton's running mate), and FETTERMAN (Pennsylvania). I assume the above hate dogs and love masked men with guns.
And for all their appeasements, Democrats will be blamed for the government shutting down, after Shitler cancelled his meeting with them to negotiate the budget/CR.
Not how it is polling. And shutdown responsibility has always gotten worse for the party in power as the deadline approaches and then as the shutdown drags on.
Why do you Mike McWeasal Johnson is bringing the House back two days early?
Yep. Can’t understand it, except for huge disappointment Fetterman
And Slotkin!
A stopped escalator! A broken teleprompter! The whole UN is one big conspiracy! Seriously though, the people who were all collapsing on their fainting couches over people criticizing Charlie Kirk are now advocating for summary execution of whoever stopped the escalator transporting their dear leader. Can we *officially* agree that we are no longer the snowflakes? (My vote for actual problem goes to President Fuckwit set off the overweight sensor).
Thank you Jeff.
Another appeal for anyone in his sociopathic corrupt criminal Cabinet or GOP to involve the 25th Amendment.
Any rational thinking person of any political leaning comfortable with the criminal elect’s tiny orange fingers gripping the nuclear football is as insane as Stephen Goebbels.
