so many people were able to identify the Marine Room in the Daily Claudia from a couple of days ago, let's see how good you are with the mystery Hudson Valley restaurant
I am in Europe in the country of the original Nazis and no one needs anyone from the US coming and Nazisplaining here. Hegseth needs some more skateboard action so we make sure he cannot reproduce.
Today, Malcolm Nance was pointing out that the future of war is going to be 15-30 year olds managing drones. of course, under Trump the US is losing a lot of the youth and the people giving birth to youth under Trump's horrid immigration programs. The places that have the youth are the Middle East and Africa. Some food for thought. Old foggies leading do not even seem to understand what modern day warfare is about.
Jeff, from the angle, the railing, and the station in the background, I'm thinking this might be the River Market Bar and Kitchen in Tarrytown. I haven't been there in a while, but they have a patio that faces the station bridge.
So so so happy to see the disgusting name of trump removed from buildings world wide. Just like hitler, every reference to trump must be removed, destroyed or burned. Hate, treason, murder and theft are all he has offered to America and the world. Time to get rid of it permanently.
Everything honoring him has to be destroyed. The historical record, however, must be preserved so that it can be studied and we can ensure it never happens again.
We were in Rome participating in a tour of Ancient Rome and there was an old building that had the name Mussolini carved into it. I asked the tour guide about it, she turned, looked at it and didn’t say a word…just went on…this will be us - embarrassed by this horrible chapter in our country’s history - IF we survive this!
I’m thinking PThieL announcing his departure to Argen tina is kinda like the Grinch returning to his mountaintop lair after 100% looting Whoville… He’s expecting chaos/collapse but… we’ll see. ;)
I simply cannot WAIT for Trump‘s name to be pried off the skyscraper that has been defacing Chicago’s cityscape for years. I have family members in Michigan who plan to come over here and watch with us!
I applaud anyone brave enough to travel outside the US, or into MAGA country. NOT ME.
I can't imagine having to hide your native country otherwise be forced to explain WHAT THE (BAD WORD!) is going on over here (as friends have told me happened to them)
NOR will I venture into MAGA country and give ONE RED CENT to their economies. You (another BAD WORD!) CHOSE to have your own finances and your county TANK. Sorry, not sorry.
But if you go overseas, don't pose as a Canadian (I say this even while trying to get a Canuckistan passport, since my grandfather was born there and foolishly came to the USA instead of staying put). Just slap a California flag on your backpack: "Why pinch a maple leaf when you can wear the bear?"TM
I was born in Massachusetts…although I live a state away now, when traveling I say I’m from Boston…one of the most liberal cites in the nation! Fuck Trump!!
When I went to France in the eighties, just before reagan. was re- elected.
Americans would stop me & ask if I spoke English. 🤔 It was probably because of my style. I wouldn't say I was Canadian ( I have relatives with dual citizenship) I always said I'm a
I was born in Montana, went to college in Arizona and lived a good chunk of my life in California, to which I’m soon to return. I’m a westerner, as was my mom, who was born in South Dakota.
Identifying yourself as a New Yorker works wonders. Europeans understand the difference between NYC and "America." When David Bowie was asked how he liked being an American, he replied, "I'm not an American. I live in New York."
The same applies for California as Richard and Bob allude to above. I have identified as Californian for years when I am overseas. It always breaks the ice and leads to great conversations. I might even say that I am from Beverly…Hills, that is - swimmin’ pools, movie stars!
I just moved to Canada and don’t hide that I’m American. It’s really not a problem. I just let them know that I didn’t vote for the guy 3 times. There are maple MAGAs and they are just as ignorant and bat shit crazy up here as they are in the states. I fucking can’t stand the maple MAGAs. The stupid, it hurts.
Also, I still travel abroad and it’s the same in the UK and Europe. They are just trying to understand how the U.S. got so fucked up. If I knew that, I wouldn’t have moved to Canada.
I apologized to a Canadian author I know for how stupid our government has been and he said he's been hearing that even in Red states. MAGAts are in the minority of the population. Now we've got make sure we absolutely overwhelm them in the midterms.
I'm feeling queasy about the governor's race in CA, with Steve Hilton polling so tight behind Becerra. Hilton is "a British-born American conservative political commentator, former political adviser, and contributor for the Fox News Channel. He served as director of strategy for British prime minister David Cameron from 2010 to 2012." Wikipedia
Who will never be governor of California, it's a free-for-all primary with the top two advancing to the general regardless of party. Hinton could come in first place in the primary he's still going to lose the election in the fall. the concern was that with the sudden and late departure of swallwell from the field leaving vanishingly little time for a front-runner to emerge, and styer's $, The Democratic vote would be split amongst the other 20 odd candidates and two Republicans would be on the ballot in November.
lol bought a bit of Beccerra at .40, it's selling at .94 now. wish I had bet the farm but even I wasn't sure.
lol right? signing off on a zoom with someone in Australia the other day and I apologized for the war of Hormuz and made it clear where I personally stood on the issue.
reflecting on it, I can't remember having prior conversation with someone who was actively being harmed so overtly by US actions.
I’ve been to Europe 3 times since this regime has been in place, most recent one being in April. We talked to 2 women from Ireland (while we were in Belgium) about all of it. They hate him, but had no blame for us personally, as they could tell I was not on board with what is happening. I told them I am still very sorry for how it is affecting Europe, and they hope we have a good result in November.
Those who travel there need to keep our heads down and not be obnoxious and wear maga merch. But we have never been treated badly, even tho I would not be surprised if we were.
As embarrassed and horrified as I am at how our country is affecting the rest of the world, the worst feeling has been meeting my daughter’s friend whose husband was deported recently even tho here legally. We both cried. I needed her to know that not all old white women are ok with what has happened to her family. It doesn’t help her situation, but how must it feel to be in her position, and wonder about who around her is fine with it all. She is very brave.
I'm not afraid of leaving the US. I've been to enough countries and know the words for "Hi," "Please," "Thank you," and "Where's the bathroom?" in enough of them so that I know that they and a big American grin will take me almost anywhere. It's coming back IN to the US through Customs that I'm afraid of. I've written a lot of shit about Trump, and I know that the internet is forever. I worry that some Customs guy will go through my phone or that I'm in a list somewhere.
Using D-Day to lecture Europe about migrants is a moral faceplant so stupid it should come with its own helmet. Normandy is where the world remembers what happens when nationalism, racial panic, and strongman fantasies stop being slogans and start becoming cemeteries. The assignment was simple: honor the dead, remember the cost, maybe don’t turn the beaches into a Fox News audition about scary boats. Europe already met fascism up close. It does not need America’s tattooed war-podcast substitute teacher showing up with a hangover and a white grievance PowerPoint.
The photos of Claudia are so special! I love them!
We are indeed the "baddies"... I'm ashamed of this country. I read an article from Rick Steeves who said the Europeans he has encountered were very friendly and concerned for us. I hope they do realize we're not all a bunch of lowlife shitheads like Whiskey Pete. This will end...but not soon enough.
I blame the Senate. Every one of them who voted to confirm a fucking talk show host as Secretary of Defense is complicit in whatever happens. They should be held accountable, if not at the ballot box, then in the courts. What kind of spineless morons thought it was a good idea to put a drunken talk show host in charge of defending our country? Between this and putting some wacko real estate guy in charge of intelligence, I greatly fear an attack on our country is bound to happen before his term is over.
I blame Musk with his computer hackers who changed the voting results on election night. Think about it: ALL 7 swing states? With just enough of a margin to not be questionable? His numbers were NOT that favorable in those swing states! Fuck Musk to the moon and back.
YES! Why isn’t this being made a big deal? I agree with Fuckface about the 2024 election not being honest…his bleating is actually a confession as it was HIS cronies that stole the election!
(I’m sorry to sound like the 2020 deniers, but 2024 should be investigated!)
I particularly blame my cowardly lion of a senator, Thom Tillis, who let himself get bullied into approving Hegseth after he said he wouldn't. Eff him.
The same Thom Tillis who's now retiring or was voted out (I can't remember which)? If he knew he was going to quit, what could Trump have done to him if he didn't vote to confirm?
Only sort of. He's my senator too, and several months ago I sent him an email asking him not to vote for the SAVE Act because of X,Y, and Z. I got a form email back talking about how proud he was to have co-sponsored the SAVE Act and how we can't let non-citizens be voting in our elections. No spine or conscience there.
Of course. He's a rethuglican, the party of overt white supremacy. Can't let those dirty illegals, probably non-white, get a chance at a better life here like waves of immigrants before them have done. Although he has said some things lately that are anti-trump, I still despise him. I despise anyone who belongs to that travesty of a "party."
The English historian, author and television presenter Simon Schama described them as a “special kind of loathsomeness: a blend of historical deafness, grotesque stupidity and comically ludicrous self-importance”.
Schama added: “As if the little people’s rage against immigration somehow is superior to the war against the 3rd Reich and entitles this comic book nobody to lecture the actual heroes.”—The Guardian
Piss-drunk Pete went to France with "six of his children" according to the reporting. Isn't being one of Pete's kids punishment enough without being forced to hang out with him?
Kerry Kennedy said she'll be there with a ladder and a scraper to take Donald's name off the building herself.
Unfuckingbelievable that some people are still impressed by the tough guy cosplay by a bunch of whiny snowflakes. Jokes on you, MAGA; with all those trans fats you're eating in your processed food, pretty soon you're not going to know what your pronouns are.
When you place a moronic NY mob boss atop the US Government you get a shitstorm of malevolent shitweasles rampaging about the world spewing racist nonsense to suck up to the Orange Boss.
What on earth has befallen us Stephen? We gave up being a country to become a syndicate.
“Oh the humanity…” (for the youngsters who didn’t get the reference I will translate: “WTF?” — said with the culminating emotional tone one would have after having watched “Schindler’s List” and “Philadelphia” back to back as a double feature — yes I did that…and never truly recovered).
Those of us who voted for Kamala did all we could to. We were overwhelmed by all the apathetic non-voters who couldn’t be bothered to make a choice. Maybe we will make a comeback in November, but I just don’t know at this point.
Did she really work at McDonald's? Did she know that she was Black before she decided to run for president? Does she smile enough? I got so fucking tired of that kind of stuff.
A few months after the election, I was talking about how awful Trump was, and somebody close to me said, "It's your (collective) fault for running such a bad candidate!" He's lucky I still call him a friend.
Sorry hit the send button in error. I am just so sorry that those wonderful vets met so graciously by Brigitte Macron and others had to be so terribly embarrassed by a USA
minister of defence without any class representing their country’s amazing actions and sacrifices on D-Day so many years ago.
so many people were able to identify the Marine Room in the Daily Claudia from a couple of days ago, let's see how good you are with the mystery Hudson Valley restaurant
I have no idea where that restaurant is or what its name might be. I'm new here and just wanted to say, hi. Hi.
Welcome to the Nuthaus
I am in Europe in the country of the original Nazis and no one needs anyone from the US coming and Nazisplaining here. Hegseth needs some more skateboard action so we make sure he cannot reproduce.
Today, Malcolm Nance was pointing out that the future of war is going to be 15-30 year olds managing drones. of course, under Trump the US is losing a lot of the youth and the people giving birth to youth under Trump's horrid immigration programs. The places that have the youth are the Middle East and Africa. Some food for thought. Old foggies leading do not even seem to understand what modern day warfare is about.
Unfortunately he already has. He reportedly took six of his offspring to France with him on the taxpayer's dime.
We need to get him a skateboard vasectomy so he does not have any more.
Hegseth and his fascist view
To the Europeans is nothing new
Our former friends
Know Naziism's ends
Go bash yer nuts, you sot, and take Vance with you
Kindof a Forrest Gump approach…?
I'm not at all familiar with that region, so I renewed my subscription for another year instead.
the judges will accept that as an answer
Thanks. When they pry that extra name loose from the Kennedy Center, don't forget to gif that shit! We're counting on you!
😢
Jeff, from the angle, the railing, and the station in the background, I'm thinking this might be the River Market Bar and Kitchen in Tarrytown. I haven't been there in a while, but they have a patio that faces the station bridge.
It looks pretty far north…if not Poughkeepsie, might be Garrison or Cold Spring.
Good pic even if you cannot identify the location.
Bakehouse in Tarrytown?

Actually, I think we should KEEP everything with Donald trump's name on it.
Only, we should put "Fuck" before the "Donald" and a "!" after it. . .
Just to keep people asking. . .
Touché Lady E!
Ppl are THINKING
We were in Rome participating in a tour of Ancient Rome and there was an old building that had the name Mussolini carved into it.

I don't think Thiel is expecting collapse; I think he's expecting consequences.
Unfortunately his money and evil still reach across borders.
speaking to the reaction… maybe innovate - the old model was not sustainable anyway
I simply cannot WAIT for Trump‘s name to be pried off the skyscraper that has been defacing Chicago’s cityscape for years. I have family members in Michigan who plan to come over here and watch with us!
Damnatio memorae.
A positive purge. Dumb badness is so out of style.
I applaud anyone brave enough to travel outside the US, or into MAGA country. NOT ME.

California Republic.
Cali-Hawaii Republic. If Cali leaves, we ain't stayin'. Just sayin'.
I'd include Washington and Oregon. The nation of Wacaorhi
Sounds appropriately indigenous
I was born in Massachusetts…although I live a state away now, when traveling I say I’m from Boston…one of the most liberal cites in the nation! Fuck Trump!!
This Yankee salutes you.
I'm here for it.
When I went to France in the eighties, just before reagan. was re- elected.

And who does that moron think fought and died on D-Day? Those soldiers were immigrants. And who were we fighting? Oh yeah, fucking Nazis like him.
They were ANTIFA ! 🙄
Well said!!

Kudos, so well said.

There is no “Republican Party” anymore, it’s Quislings in Service to Trump.
True enough, but I believe a few Democrats also voted to confirm. What's their excuse?
Google says no Dem Sens voted for Kegsbreath. But I believe Rubio was confirmed unanimously
you got that right!
U blame the Supremes the Senate, the fucking utterly STUPID WHO VOTED RUMP. I BLAME THEM ALL.
WHAT AN UTTERLY STUPID CHEAP COUNTRY WE LIVE IN.
I blame Musk with his computer hackers who changed the voting results on election night. Think about it: ALL 7 swing states? With just enough of a margin to not be questionable? His numbers were NOT that favorable in those swing states! Fuck Musk to the moon and back.
Plus winning in counties that didn't exist.
YES! Why isn’t this being made a big deal? I agree with Fuckface about the 2024 election not being honest…his bleating is actually a confession as it was HIS cronies that stole the election!

What a waste of money removing TRUMP from all those buildings, when they coulda just removed the T.
😂😂
I just said that! Proclaim to the world: RUMP!!
🤣🤣
He’s a caricature, acting like a parody of himself but seriously we need to keep him and JD away from Europe. Great to see this push back.

It’s beyond political. It’s science fiction.
YES. Excellent. It IS Science Fiction.
I've written science fiction. If I tried to describe what was going on right now no one would believe it.
BTW, I have a story in this collection which may be of particular interest (the anthology, not just my story).

Please keep sharing Tenchi pictures
good to know that if I ever run out of Daily Claudia I can do a Daily Tenchi
Super cute cat. 😻
Tenchi looks like a very good boy with a very scratchable forehead.
In the language of LA gangbangers of the ‘90s, Hegseth is a punk-ass bitch.
Touché Bob!
I wish they would sell tickets to the name removal in DC. We could make a dent in the national debt
