I'm a Catholic and if I weren't so lazy on Sunday, I'd be right back at Mass!
My kids are Jesuit educated - social justice is part of the package, as if faith, and doing for others all for the greater glory of God...DOING is part of it, not just saying
Raised (sort of) low-Church Episcopalian, in 1969 I started college at Jesuit-run Georgetown U. At least 75% of the undergraduate student body was, or at least had been raised, Catholic. Talk about total immersion! To make it more fun, this was during the heyday of the anti-Vietnam War movement. Before I'd been there a month I was in the thick of it. I admired the Jesuit professors I studied with -- one of them was good friends with the Berrigan brothers -- but as for the university administration? The word "jesuitical" has been in my active vocabulary ever since.
Those were two of MY major hangups - and which I'll never get over enough to return (aside from how horribly treated I was by the priests and nuns when I needed their help) but I'd still defend to the death this amazing Pontiff who is THE perfect example of courage under fire while being the perfect Vicar of Christ (another of his titles). Some moron on instagram just posted that 'Catholics aren't christians' and I had to dredge up my still-remembered catechism to school him. (Well, he HAD dared anyone to prove him wrong with specific gobbledygook about some weird shit he claimed was in his bible). I first asked which English King had written his version - went on from there to explain that Roman Catholics (and the later English (Episcopalians) were the original Christians, all of the Protestant religions having broken away later on in time. Couldn't remember which Century, though - was it the 14th? 12th? Weird how they don't know any of this, though? Where do they think the term 'Roman Catholics' came from?
THANK YOU Denise - I hopefully won't forget again. I've had a brutal migraine for days, now which I've been trying to power through instead of giving into - and it always, always plays havoc with my memory banks. I used to be a whiz about all of the British royalty and their fuckwittery, but simply couldn't remember this specific 'stuff' - (just noticed I wrote that as 'dimly' for some unfathomable reason (which also weirdly fits, lol) - luckily noticed so I could fix it). ;) I DID remember Henry VIII but couldn't pull Calvin's name in. Hate when that happens. SO Appreciated!
Holy Mother Church and I haven't been on speaking terms for close to 50 years, but I'm a big fan of Pope Bob. (The fact that he's a White Sox fan is a big plus.)
It's not enough to get me to return to the fold, but still...
Appreciate this, Patrick. They AND my mother were brutal, creating her own version of catholicism, which was much worse than the real thing. Och. My poor Dad, who grew up as a Catholic (our family line on his side can be traced back to 9th Century Irish bishops(!) thankfully I was able to get away from THAT but he simply lived a life of kindness and in turn was appreciated and loved by his coworkers and those who knew him. Somehow at age 4 I was already prescient - able to see through the lies, but not savvy enough to keep my mouth shut, so suffered the consequences which never stopped from then on. Those who could and SHOULD have helped never did - even made it worse, which I still consider unforgivable.
Yup. IF those Nuns hadn't beaten it out of me, my Mother's weird version of her being 'god's representative here on earth' sure did. Besides, she'd befriended our local Parish Priest who worked his way up to Monsignor AND actually came to our dingy little apartment to tell her what our weekly Saturday confessions were (even before I was old enough to make my First Communion/Confession), she made me go to 'confess my sins' specifically to HIM anyway - entirely verboten by the Church. HE didn't care - he was always about pleasing those who donated. That son-of-a-bitch would tell her the stuff my siblings and I would INVENT just to keep her from flying into her rages, since she was SO sure we were awful sinners, we'd make up wee little things he could tell her. Give me Pope Bob ANY day of the week.
I had the principal of the school, who was well known as a pedophile , pat with his filthy hands on my ass…I’m certain he regrets it, I was already training in martial arts and boxed in regional tournaments, I knocked him to the floor immediately… suspension followed…which ended my catholic school days, and cemented altruistic and atheist beliefs.
The reason I was sent to catholic school was to protect my older, high IQ, geeky brother… my parents thought he would receive a better education there. I hated everything about religious idiocy, and catholic school, due to my MAD magazine subscription, perhaps reading Orwell, and Asimov http://religiously.as a lad.
Sorry to hear your story Elizabeth, appears you survived thankfully!
That is SO AWFUP Patrick...ugh, puke. I'm SO glad you were able to fight back - definitely worth any punishment they meted out (as they'd always do to protect the sickos). That satisfaction of fighting back can carry you through a LOT in life.
I'm a "whatever" too, and I gotta say I love this guy. Not ready to convert - I still think organized religion is the cause of most of the world's problems - but if anyone can fix the mess this administration has put us all in, it's Pope Leo. He or someone needs to convince Kegstand that the Armageddon he and his cabal of christofascist weirdos hope is coming will not be a good thing for anyone. Most especially them.
Likewise Arne. My father was the son of Italian immigrants but Catholicism really annoyed him and he crossed over to the (OMG.so.boring) Protestant church, dragging me along. Seven decades or so later, I'm fully ready to reclaim my heritage, thanks to Pope Bob.
He exudes goodness - and I think that's the appeal he has for so many of us, atheists, agnostics, lapsed or whomever. We are drawn to him because HE is a human being of peace, light and love- and could probably kick some orange azz if need be - but wouldn't, because he IS so danged nice.
Let's give THREE CHEERS to one of Jeff's "greatest posts of all time" His GOAT POST.
IMO, as much as we democracy loving liberals don't want to believe the depth of faith Trump's cultists have in his "who cares about democracy or our equitable melting pot society". Trump thinks America is all powerful therefore He can do whatever he wants, to whoever he wants, whenever he wants. Period. That's the Trump doctrine, pure and simple. The CULT believes that Everything he says or does to promote American Dominance is AWESOME! It's proof of their concept of America's Divine Omnipotence. In that view, the POPE is just a low level religious functionary.
Hopefully, the the MAGA CULT is a small enough minority of Americans that we will win hugh majority victories in the midterms. It will be a VERY noisy victory on both sides when we do. Those 7-10 million Democrats who sat out the 2024 election to give us Trump had better show up in Nov and help overwhelm MAGA🙏
Praying on behalf of my fellow citizens north of the 49th that your votes for Dems will bring a rapid invocation of the 25 Amendment and the US and the world will be rid of the Ignoramus in Chief.
I get tired of correcting this, but you're from Canada so you have an excuse for not knowing this. The 25th amendment would have to be invoked by Vance and a majority of the Cabinet. Not going to happen regardless of the midterm elections.
Oh, and on behalf of the majority of sane Americans, let me apologize to you and your fellow citizens for the absolutely shameful way you've been treated by Trump. One of the top priorities of the next president will be to try to make amends and re-establish the historic friendship between our two nations.
Thank you for your response. As an FYI, a lot of Canadians are familiar with your Constitution, including Article 25. And so to assume that I know nothing about the 25th or any other Amendments for that matter is disparaging to those us who are well acquainted not only with the US Constitution but constitutions of other countries as well. I would add that my father was born to a Canadian mother and American father, thus bestowing upon him American citizenship. It was renounced when he elected to serve in the Canadian Army.
Yes, I do hope they stop demanding the impossible sparkle ponies of their dreams and show up to vote against Fascism (R) this time. No, they are not all Democrats, but they should show up anyway! Vote D for Drive, not R for Reverse, okay kids?
Trump in my opinion doesn’t think America is all powerful, he thinks the office of the presidency is all powerful. Which means he being the president is all powerful. And he believes he can do or say whatever he wishes to do or say. He says so constantly. And of course SCOTUS has given him full rein. Full permission.
dumpy, hegsbreath and covenant eyes believe they have been endowed with the power to smite people. Is that even a thing anymore? If so, I'd like to know who endowed them with that and who do you beg to for that power. Asking for a friend that has a list for some smiting.
That old black magic that they know so well--Ancient devil whispers what they want to hear--their conscience seared --It's God who smites the demons fall --It's sure past time in history's rebound to sound the silence of peace come round--and echo in the stratosphere. thanks be to the Pope may he continue to put that maggot down and smite him with the Word of God! as his his calling....sorry I'm on my soapbox
I agree with your take, Mary. I'd refine it even further: Rump believes that HE is all-powerful, and therefore, he has transformed his office to make it all-powerful.
if you want to feel coffee spew out your nose mid-cup, read the following while taking a sip: “you know what a corner store is, you brain-dead asshole. it’s where you go to buy corners.” 🤓
It's one those things Jeff does that makes me howl with laughter for a week and then burst out laughing every time I think of it for the rest of my life. It's up there with Pete Kegbreath's ball buster.
I was SO sure you were going to talk about brainworm bobby's incredible racist stupidity in pretending he had NO IDEA what his questioner was talking about when she asked him about his presidential run statement OUT LOUD that 'black children will be removed from their parents and raised by...? he never said exactly whom, but the idea was that black children were INNATELY violent so this 'brilliant' idea of his would bring them up in (I guess?) white households (or perhaps the current kkkoncentration kamps) to make them 'better'? The RACISM is so beyond the pale, it not only burns, it burns clean through to the ugly underbelly of this drug addicted alcoholic. He sat there and denied EVER saying such a thing (in 2021?) So, was he still on drugs THEN? OR, is he still on drugs NOW - after the most recent declaration by him of stopping his car by a 'road-kill', jumping out to CUT OFF THE PENIS of a dead raccoon so he could 'study it later 'while his children waited patiently in his vehicle. Oh my fucking god. I'm so beyond disgusted by this sick fuck critter (NOT the raccoon) - who's getting to make deciions about OUR our HEALTHCARE!
Corner stores, when I was growing up in the 60s, were everywhere, and not necessarily on a corner. They were more a small market, easy to run in and grab a couple things, or kids to beg for a quarter to buy some penny candy. No one would ever buy a whole bag of groceries...lol My favorite was Marge's. She still stood in the 70s, everyone else long gone. In high school, short walk to her store, where she also sold deli sandwiches and chips, bottles of pop. You were high falooting going to Marge's....lol
I watched The Thick of It years ago via (illegal?) Bit Torrent. Superb--and I don't care all that much about British politics. You of course enjoyed Capaldi as Tucker in In the Loop, too--especially when he asks James Gandolfini's Army general, "Have you ever actually killed anyone? And falling asleep on them doesn't count."
Malcolm Nance explained that the SOH is open but you still need to be guided through by Iranian Guards, etc... so what do the insurance companies say?
He also explained that Trump has said he can seize Iranian oil on tankers anywhere and claim it like he did with Venezuela. According to Malcolm he does not believe Iran agreed to that, but then they can stop delivering oil at all by ship, and India can come get it by land.
The guy who writes about What's Going on with Shipping is explaining how it is not good that ships are going to the US. The fuel prices are still going up here because we sell our fuel on the open market and the highest bidders already got it, so it is going to cost.
There is another guy explaining about how the Oil Tankers going to the US are not good news for us as well. Mr. Global is explaining why the oil tankers coming to the US and that it is not good for the US. https://youtu.be/QYFS3XdXhgg?si=2B_K1tPVV8nycGqi
Trump and all of his people are not reliable reporters of what is going on, and our media, sans any other sources of information, are not reliable reporters of anything other than, "Trump says..."
Jeff truly is a National Treasure. A real hero, like the Pope, in this age of cowards. #TheAgeOfMonsters
Jeff is to me like Vonnegut, and even better than Hunter S Thompson - "Fear & Loathing in tRump's America."
Jeff is perfect for this digital age, as his posts, with all the gifs & links, could not not translate effectively on the written page. He is beloved by his readers for good reason, and I absolutely rank him up there with those two, Vonnegut and Thompson.
I'll forever grateful for Jeff's awesome posts. Invaluable for processing this insanity.
And this….service members are not being fed properly because these morons who thought would be fun take on the Middle East caused the Strait to close supplies are not getting in. Are you kidding me? They’re eating spoiled foods and haven’t seen a piece broccoli in weeks, not to mention hygiene products are running out!!!! Please listen to Aaron Parnas’ news today. It’s appalling what our soldiers in uniform are enduring.
The deprivation and abuse endured by our service members (for what?) mirrors that suffered by Putin's troops in Ukraine. When Trump said "suckers and losers" he meant it. They're throw-away pawns, like the generals.
Yes. I read that sailors around the world trapped in there are not eating properly or getting enough water to drink or getting paid. 20,000 seafarers stranded according to this.
The USS Ford, the largest aircraft carrier, has had longstanding plumbing problems. Crew standing in long lines to use the head. Crew sleeping on tables. An engineering fire that took 2 days to extinguish. Our illustrious government chose to under build the sewage system on this ship. Why? I guess plumbing isn’t as sexy as weapons systems.
If they're having food logistics problems now, how in the fuck are they going to feed these guys in a land invasion? Maybe that's why Trump harps upon Hannibal Lector. Our boys are supposed to have the Iranians for dinner.
It's a very fucked-up Earth 2 on which I wait to hear what the Iranian spokesperson says to verify whatever gibberish was excreted from the White House.
Yes. All my detectors go into the red zone with Whiskey Pete. And sadly they do with Eric Swalwell too. I was hoping they might be defective with respect to Swalwell, but they have never failed me. Sadly.
Same here. Not terribly surprised, but my spidey senses were tingling too. He's definitely the guy who prompted someone to design and sell drink covers for women to carry when they go out. (And I love how offended the guy gets)
The oil slick on top of his head is what gets me. He's got a whole make-up studio and hair salon next to his Pentagon office--can't anyone advise him against pouring a bottle of Crisco over his head every morning?
I look at him and have the same reaction as when I'm walking a path in the woods and I realize that "red touch yellow" or I see the red hourglass or hear that buzzing rattle.......
As my fellow bartenders and I used to say, "You can tell he's an asshat the minute he walks into the bar, and you know how bad he's going to get with a few drinks. Instant asshat: just add alcohol."
The gospel of Tarantino. Good one. Can't wait for the pope to go medieval on their asses. Since I'm not a member of the Catholic tribe, I marvel at Donnie's rake stepping skills at insulting over a billion people's religion. Truly he is, his own worst enemy.
To me all organized religions are at least a little cultish. But this shows how stupid and egotistical this dumbass is to pick a fight with the Pope. He is everyone's worst enemy, including his own.
Best take of the day on that: Anderson Cooper was on Colbert last night after Colbert showed the both Jackson and Hegseth side by side. As they were talking about the war Anderson said “I’m not sure, but our Secretary of Defense Samuel L. Jackson may know.” It was a great way to end my day!
I wonder what it's like to wake up and just enjoy your day? I remember a time, just over ten years ago, when we enjoyed a simpler time, still recovering from the Great Recession, yet things were on a steady upswing. Yes, those were the days. We deserved better times!
Then suddenly, the orange slug oozed down his golden escalator and the experience was like hearing a record player's arm scratch across your favorite vinyl record. Life as we knew came to a complete stop, and silence was forever broken in our land by his droning voice and the monotonous stupidity he spewed forth to anyone forced to listen. Not long after, in between bouts of swearing and railing against his very existence that I began sighing with exhaustion. Often. Most days. And I've been sighing ever since.
Remember - the Republitards opposing him as Prez candidates were a weak bunch who all collapsed when the Orange Turd started his racist; misogynistic , bullcrap.
Woke at five, window cracked, pollen already on the tongue — what the body knew before the phone did was this: something hollow has been put in charge of something enormous. Jaw clenched since February. Not metaphor. Data.
A former White House lawyer went on cable Wednesday night and said what the Beltway has been miming for months. Ty Cobb — 75, Trump's own first-term counsel — told Ari Melber on MS NOW that the president displays "the classic symptoms of Alzheimer's," including sleep-wake reversal producing four-a.m. Truth Social screeds and cabinet-meeting naps.
I've also seen discussions that it's frontotemporal dementia. Hardly matters which, he is clearly exhibiting increasing cognitive impairment. Miller, et al, will keep him there as long as they can so they can keep running (ruining) things.
IF the Democratic "leadership" becomes proactive. Never forget that Biden, Obama, and Clinton made choices not to follow up the guilt of their previous administrations. Biden could have moved on January 6- he could have either demanded Merrick Garland get to work, or appointed a real AG. What about the Iraq Abu Ghraib torture?
Just saying- there is no guarantee that the utlra centrist Jeffries and Schumer would actually prosecute the many crimes of ICE, the Iran war, amazing corruption- where to even begin? Impeachment would be amazing, but it takes 67 Senators.
We will need new leadership to guarantee even close to a just end to the criminal rule we are currently experiencing.
I've seen the progression of Alzheimer's close up in a family member, plus Trump's father had it so there's a genetic risk as well as behavioral risks. He violates all the rules of brain health - he's an obese rage-a-holic, who never exercises his body or mind, and apparently has a lousy diet. I've been saying it's Alzheimer's for some time. Now in the mid/late stager which means he truly can no longer differentiate reality from wishful thinking.
Jamie Raskin has proposed creating an independent commission to examine the capacity to discharge his duties of his office (sorry I don’t recall the proper terminology). It’s unlikely to pass the Rs, but the method is right in the Constitution.
Yes, and he's a Constitutional scholar. It's a legitimate response. But the point is that such a commission does not currently exist and so the only present method involves Vance and the Cabinet of sycophants and buffoons.
Specifically, he said that all black children are on psych drugs, all should be taken from their parents and institutionalized ("re-parented"). Somehow, white kids on the same drugs should stay with their white parents. Given the substances he put in his body and up his nose, and the fact his dad was assassinated, maybe this all comes from the parenting he didn't get.
I am not a religious person - I don't belong to any faith, but here I am agreeing with the Pope. I'm also a life-long Democrat, but here I am agreeing with MTG. The world is truly out of whack.
P.S. I'm waiting for Kegstand to quote from the Book of Armaments from "Month Python and the Holy Grail".
Mary Trump suggested his speech was generated by ChatGPT because he's a stupid lazy fuck. I would have LOVED to have been in the room with Samuel L. Jackson when he found out Pastor Pete ripped off his homicidal sermon from Pulp Fiction. "That mothafucka."
I remember a few years ago, trump was walking past people to attend a rally. He was just past a cult member who waved her hand at her face like she was having a hot flash. My God, she must have something REALLY WRONG with her to feel attracted to this steaming POS.
Pope Leo really walked in like, “I know some of you were hoping to rent Jesus out as a Pentagon mascot, but absolutely not.” And watching the usual Fox sermonettes melt down because the Pope used Christianity for something outrageous like peace, mercy, and not turning God into a war brand has been deeply satisfying. Nothing rattles the faux-holy crowd faster than an actual Christian sounding too much like Jesus.
Here in NC, we have the Rev. William Barber speaking out against the trump travesty. But it is fantastic to have an international leader sticking it to the felon/pedo/war-profiteer/etc,etc.etc.
I've generally no use for religion.....but Rev. Barber is the real deal, and he sure has had no use for Demento from the first moment. Pope Chicago appears to be of the same ilk.
PBS News Hour did a segment yesterday on Trump family profiting since his second term began. Appearance of conflicts of interest doesn’t seem to concern them.
Expecting Fox jabbering liars to know what they are talking about, even their professed doctrinal source material like the Bible, is futile. But luckily for them, their brain dead and bullshit-consuming audience does not know or care.
"ALL CONTENT AND OPINIONS EXPRESSED ARE COMPLETELY MADE UP AND OFTEN DOWNRIGHT DELUSIONAL IN ORDER TO CONTROL YOUR THOUGHTS AND EMOTIONS. HAVE A GREAT DAY!"
Like the disclaimers they rush through on pharmaceutical ads.
"May cause death or brain damage. Do not take if you're allergic to it. Side effects may include heart attacks, explosive diarrhea, and severe hemorrhaging. Speak to your doctor if your brain starts pouring out of your ears."
thank you for attending my Ted Talk in 'how to write a clickbaity headline'
I am so glad you wrote about Trump’s stupid feud with Pope Leo. We Chicagoans are so proud of da Pope, we’re practically busting our buttons
I'm an atheist or agnostic but the pope makes me want to convert to Catholicism. Finally, a religious leader who is truly decent. Bravo.
I'm a Catholic and if I weren't so lazy on Sunday, I'd be right back at Mass!

However. They won’t ordain women and are against abortion. But his morality is consistent.
Those were two of MY major hangups - and which I'll never get over enough to return (aside from how horribly treated I was by the priests and nuns when I needed their help) but I'd still defend to the death this amazing Pontiff who is THE perfect example of courage under fire while being the perfect Vicar of Christ (another of his titles).

Martin Luther, John Calvin, and Henry VIII's break with the Catholic Church, all early-to-mid 1500s, for reference.
THANK YOU Denise - I hopefully won't forget again. I've had a brutal migraine for days, now which I've been trying to power through instead of giving into - and it always, always plays havoc with my memory banks.

Let's give THREE CHEERS to one of Jeff's "greatest posts of all time" His GOAT POST.
IMO, as much as we democracy loving liberals don't want to believe the depth of faith Trump's cultists have in his "who cares about democracy or our equitable melting pot society".

Those 7-10 million Democrats who sat out the 2024 election to give us Trump had better show up in Nov and help overwhelm MAGA🙏
The ironic part is that the CULT has actually made is less prestigious, less proud, and far less admirable than we were even 4 years ago.
Here's hoping there are enough engaged non cultists to turn this around.

No disparagement meant, but your post implied you didn't know how the 25th worked. There will be no "rapid invocation" of it.
It isn't an Article though. It's an Amendment in our Constitution. 27 Amendments, 7 Articles.
Yes, I do hope they stop demanding the impossible sparkle ponies of their dreams and show up to vote against Fascism (R) this time. No, they are not all Democrats, but they should show up anyway! Vote D for Drive, not R for Reverse, okay kids?

I agree with your take, Mary. I'd refine it even further: Rump believes that HE is all-powerful, and therefore, he has transformed his office to make it all-powerful.
There's no "feud." Trump is whining and bitching. The Pope is treating him like a gnat buzzing by his ear.
I don’t think Pope Leo set about to feud.
I don't think he's ENGAGING in a "feud." Trump may think so, but he's a clueless idiot.
Pope Bob — that’s a “keeper” as my beloved father to say when we caught a good one…he’s a good one. Chicagoans should be proud!
Tell me if I'm wrong but, I don't believe the Pope has ever called them out by name, so they must feel guilty enough to fight back.
The guilty flee when no one pursueth.
As you should be, Michelle! I'm so jelly!
It was very well-done!
You do it better than I do jeff.

For no particular reason, you could have posted the skateboard to the nuts gif.
That NEVER gets old!! 😁

if you want to feel coffee spew out your nose mid-cup, read the following while taking a sip: “you know what a corner store is, you brain-dead asshole. it’s where you go to buy corners.” 🤓
That’s where I get mine.
It's one those things Jeff does that makes me howl with laughter for a week and then burst out laughing every time I think of it for the rest of my life. It's up there with Pete Kegbreath's ball buster.
AKA “bodega,” which would mystify him even more.
Seriously! 😂
You are on FIRE today! Thank you. I just want add, President Fuck wit is not only his own worst enemy, he is OUR own worst enemy.
I was SO sure you were going to talk about brainworm bobby's incredible racist stupidity in pretending he had NO IDEA what his questioner was talking about when she asked him about his presidential run statement OUT LOUD that 'black children will be removed from their parents and raised by...? he never said exactly whom, but the idea was that black children were INNATELY violent so this 'brilliant' idea of his would bring them up in (I guess?) white households (or perhaps the current kkkoncentration kamps) to make them 'better'? The RACISM is so beyond the pale, it not only burns, it burns clean through to the ugly underbelly of this drug addicted alcoholic. He sat there and denied EVER saying such a thing (in 2021?) So, was he still on drugs THEN? OR, is he still on drugs NOW - after the most recent declaration by him of stopping his car by a 'road-kill', jumping out to CUT OFF THE PENIS of a dead raccoon so he could 'study it later 'while his children waited patiently in his vehicle. Oh my fucking god. I'm so beyond disgusted by this sick fuck critter (NOT the raccoon) - who's getting to make deciions about OUR our HEALTHCARE!
Maybe a "corner store" is where you buy "groceries" (It's an old word)?
Corner stores, when I was growing up in the 60s, were everywhere, and not necessarily on a corner. They were more a small market, easy to run in and grab a couple things, or kids to beg for a quarter to buy some penny candy. No one would ever buy a whole bag of groceries...lol My favorite was Marge's. She still stood in the 70s, everyone else long gone. In high school, short walk to her store, where she also sold deli sandwiches and chips, bottles of pop. You were high falooting going to Marge's....lol
I watched The Thick of It years ago via (illegal?) Bit Torrent. Superb--and I don't care all that much about British politics. You of course enjoyed Capaldi as Tucker in In the Loop, too--especially when he asks James Gandolfini's Army general, "Have you ever actually killed anyone? And falling asleep on them doesn't count."
Fantastic post and headline as always!
I also want to note that The Thick of It is SUCH a good show and I love that it gets shout-outs here. More people should watch it.
LOL!
today in Shit That Happened While I Was Busy Writing This Shit
"Iran Declares Strait ‘Open’ After Lebanon Deal, but Trump Says U.S. Blockade Continues"
so now it's DONNY's fault that the strait is closed, or what? I can't keep up
https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04/17/world/iran-us-war-trump
Now it's Iran's turn to fuck with the stock market. I'm sure Donnie and his cronies didn't have time to short oil this time.
Oil is going up. I hope all the regime crooks who went short take a beating big time
Late breaking update:
Iran opened the Strait
OIl prices plunged
Stocks went up too
And what does America's Idiot do?
He asserts the US blockade will remain in place
Another pointless flex
So he can save face
He crowed "Our transaction with Iran is 100% complete"
Wow, Strong Leader, that's quite a feat
But just what is this transaction
And what does it mean?
Nobody knows.
It's more BS from the BS machine
A never ending supply....
just another war crime.
Good one, Doc!👏👏👏👏
All I saw was bent crude tumbles to $90 a barrel.
As usual he continues to fuck things up through his inimitable blend of stupidity and malfeasance.
🎯
Malcolm Nance explained that the SOH is open but you still need to be guided through by Iranian Guards, etc... so what do the insurance companies say?
He also explained that Trump has said he can seize Iranian oil on tankers anywhere and claim it like he did with Venezuela. According to Malcolm he does not believe Iran agreed to that, but then they can stop delivering oil at all by ship, and India can come get it by land.
The guy who writes about What's Going on with Shipping is explaining how it is not good that ships are going to the US. The fuel prices are still going up here because we sell our fuel on the open market and the highest bidders already got it, so it is going to cost.
https://youtu.be/cGQVhnP0POE?si=A-xugyuzJgmaa9a3
There is another guy explaining about how the Oil Tankers going to the US are not good news for us as well. Mr. Global is explaining why the oil tankers coming to the US and that it is not good for the US. https://youtu.be/QYFS3XdXhgg?si=2B_K1tPVV8nycGqi
Trump and all of his people are not reliable reporters of what is going on, and our media, sans any other sources of information, are not reliable reporters of anything other than, "Trump says..."
I dunno, that shit's above my pay-grade, so three cheers for Malcolm Nance
Like you Jeff, Malcom is a national treasure.
Yes.
Jeff truly is a National Treasure. A real hero, like the Pope, in this age of cowards. #TheAgeOfMonsters
Jeff is to me like Vonnegut, and even better than Hunter S Thompson - "Fear & Loathing in tRump's America."
Jeff is perfect for this digital age, as his posts, with all the gifs & links, could not not translate effectively on the written page. He is beloved by his readers for good reason, and I absolutely rank him up there with those two, Vonnegut and Thompson.
I'll forever grateful for Jeff's awesome posts. Invaluable for processing this insanity.
I agree! Our daily go to…one of us will see and say
”Tiedrich just dropped!!!”
You keep us informed with such well written hilarious posts! You’re the best!
I agree! Jeff is invaluable. Couldn't get through this shit show without him!
… and an a-men.
And this….service members are not being fed properly because these morons who thought would be fun take on the Middle East caused the Strait to close supplies are not getting in. Are you kidding me? They’re eating spoiled foods and haven’t seen a piece broccoli in weeks, not to mention hygiene products are running out!!!! Please listen to Aaron Parnas’ news today. It’s appalling what our soldiers in uniform are enduring.
The deprivation and abuse endured by our service members (for what?) mirrors that suffered by Putin's troops in Ukraine. When Trump said "suckers and losers" he meant it. They're throw-away pawns, like the generals.
And then they cut VA benefits!
The mail is fucked too because of course it is, so family trying to send supplies can't get them through.
Yes. I read that sailors around the world trapped in there are not eating properly or getting enough water to drink or getting paid. 20,000 seafarers stranded according to this.
https://irandispatches.substack.com/p/20k-seafarers-stranded-by-hormuz?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web
You have toys being in charge of our military. Can’t help but think of “Chuckie” being in charge.
The USS Ford, the largest aircraft carrier, has had longstanding plumbing problems. Crew standing in long lines to use the head. Crew sleeping on tables. An engineering fire that took 2 days to extinguish. Our illustrious government chose to under build the sewage system on this ship. Why? I guess plumbing isn’t as sexy as weapons systems.
Reminds me of advertisers using the term military grade as proof of quality when military grade is
actually created by the lowest bidder.
Yes, reliably so.
If they're having food logistics problems now, how in the fuck are they going to feed these guys in a land invasion? Maybe that's why Trump harps upon Hannibal Lector. Our boys are supposed to have the Iranians for dinner.
Prob not a popular or accurate scenario of what might happen. 🤮🤮🤮
Trump doesn’t care about the military and how they’re being treated. He has no conscience!😡
Sympathies but I would consider not seeing a piece of broccoli in weeks a plus.
If Malcolm, the Pope and Jeff are all on the same side
🤔 shite now I can’t stop thinking what if Malcolm, the Pope and Jeff walked into a bar…
😂
That’s it in a nutshell, Linda Weide!
“. . . our media, sans any other sources of information, are not reliable reporters of anything other than, ‘Trump says’. . .”
It's a very fucked-up Earth 2 on which I wait to hear what the Iranian spokesperson says to verify whatever gibberish was excreted from the White House.
G'mornin' Linda. What a day to be al.....a.....a..pissed off!
It's now the Strait of Schrödinger.
I’m sure it feels like some fucked up version of Hell in the Twilight Zone to our ‘warfighters’ trapped there.
He just wants a cut of the toll Iran has decided charge ships coming thru the Strait.
Coulda sworn biBI said he was calling the shots
Yeah…I’m getting dizzy!
Just what I was going to say. 😵💫
Good gawd! Dull Donnie's so out it, he's like, 'Well, if nobody else will step on my dick, I'll do it myself!!'
Now the peace president is claiming credit for ending a tenth war - the one he started. I hate that guy.
Well let’s just wait and see what gets posted Monday at 6:30 am. My guess is we are about to switch back to tariffs to manipulate the market
smh
Egad. 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻
Don't feel too badly you can't keep up with the strait and whatever the unpolished orange 💩 is doing - Neither can he.
What is it about Pete Hegseth that triggers my gag reflex every time I see his photo?
Everything
Because women recognize the type. They are a genre all their own. Toxic.
Yes. All my detectors go into the red zone with Whiskey Pete. And sadly they do with Eric Swalwell too. I was hoping they might be defective with respect to Swalwell, but they have never failed me. Sadly.
I'm still sad/mad about Swalwell. Now I guess I'll vote for Steyer. At least he cares about the earth.
I guess. Not crazy about hedge fund billionaires in general, though.
Same here. Not terribly surprised, but my spidey senses were tingling too. He's definitely the guy who prompted someone to design and sell drink covers for women to carry when they go out. (And I love how offended the guy gets)
Don't know about you but unctuous sexual predators repel me
Gag reflex because a steaming POS is actually talking.
😂😂😂
For me, it's his belligerent, glowering scowl set off by his carefully constructed oily coif.
The oil slick on top of his head is what gets me. He's got a whole make-up studio and hair salon next to his Pentagon office--can't anyone advise him against pouring a bottle of Crisco over his head every morning?
He has resting mean girl bitch face.
You're a decent human being responding to poison.
I look at him and have the same reaction as when I'm walking a path in the woods and I realize that "red touch yellow" or I see the red hourglass or hear that buzzing rattle.......
Drunk-ass dudebro, the type going "Whoooooooo!" in a bar, and you know nothing good can possibly come from being in proximity to him.
As my fellow bartenders and I used to say, "You can tell he's an asshat the minute he walks into the bar, and you know how bad he's going to get with a few drinks. Instant asshat: just add alcohol."
Nasty ...
He’s a disgusting pig! Hope the war tribunals get him!
Same here! His glam room at the Pentagon needs new help! Ain’t working Pete!
The food the military is being served should be what Trumpie and his cronies should have to be - 3 squares a day- disgusting ‼️
Rapey Frat Bro. Ugh. 🤮
Oh god, seriously!!! Jeff, could we please mothball that naked torso/chest hair shot? 🤮
Second that motion! EEEEEEWWWWWWW!!!!!
He has that look about him of "I'm going to attack you."
Another sociopath! He’s so damn arrogant!
If you're gonna fuck with the Pope
Then you're a dumbass, a dimbulb, a dope
'Cause da Pope always wins
And you and your sins
Can run in a highway, ya mope.
Booze loving Hegseth had best lay off the vino
It led him to quote the Gospel of Tarantino
His Deus Vult
Is a death-loving cult
And he's an insecure bambino
The gospel of Tarantino. Good one. Can't wait for the pope to go medieval on their asses. Since I'm not a member of the Catholic tribe, I marvel at Donnie's rake stepping skills at insulting over a billion people's religion. Truly he is, his own worst enemy.
To me all organized religions are at least a little cultish. But this shows how stupid and egotistical this dumbass is to pick a fight with the Pope. He is everyone's worst enemy, including his own.
Best take of the day on that: Anderson Cooper was on Colbert last night after Colbert showed the both Jackson and Hegseth side by side. As they were talking about the war Anderson said “I’m not sure, but our Secretary of Defense Samuel L. Jackson may know.” It was a great way to end my day!
You are so good!!!!😊
Very impressive!!
Another 2fer!!! 👏👏👏
Or, The Pope is Dope
Good one Frosty!👏👏👏👏👏
I wonder what it's like to wake up and just enjoy your day? I remember a time, just over ten years ago, when we enjoyed a simpler time, still recovering from the Great Recession, yet things were on a steady upswing. Yes, those were the days. We deserved better times!
Then suddenly, the orange slug oozed down his golden escalator and the experience was like hearing a record player's arm scratch across your favorite vinyl record. Life as we knew came to a complete stop, and silence was forever broken in our land by his droning voice and the monotonous stupidity he spewed forth to anyone forced to listen. Not long after, in between bouts of swearing and railing against his very existence that I began sighing with exhaustion. Often. Most days. And I've been sighing ever since.
Wow. Beautifully stated captioning of our collective sadness. You nailed it. Sigh. 💔🇺🇸
Me too, girl, me too.
Remember - the Republitards opposing him as Prez candidates were a weak bunch who all collapsed when the Orange Turd started his racist; misogynistic , bullcrap.
Great capsule of our daily lives. Sigh
Same😞💔
Woke at five, window cracked, pollen already on the tongue — what the body knew before the phone did was this: something hollow has been put in charge of something enormous. Jaw clenched since February. Not metaphor. Data.
A former White House lawyer went on cable Wednesday night and said what the Beltway has been miming for months. Ty Cobb — 75, Trump's own first-term counsel — told Ari Melber on MS NOW that the president displays "the classic symptoms of Alzheimer's," including sleep-wake reversal producing four-a.m. Truth Social screeds and cabinet-meeting naps.
That is enough for me.

Time to 25th this motherfucker outta that seat.
I've also seen discussions that it's frontotemporal dementia. Hardly matters which, he is clearly exhibiting increasing cognitive impairment. Miller, et al, will keep him there as long as they can so they can keep running (ruining) things.
Not if the Dems can take both houses in November. Articles of impeachment have already been prepared.
IF the Democratic "leadership" becomes proactive. Never forget that Biden, Obama, and Clinton made choices not to follow up the guilt of their previous administrations. Biden could have moved on January 6- he could have either demanded Merrick Garland get to work, or appointed a real AG. What about the Iraq Abu Ghraib torture?
Just saying- there is no guarantee that the utlra centrist Jeffries and Schumer would actually prosecute the many crimes of ICE, the Iran war, amazing corruption- where to even begin? Impeachment would be amazing, but it takes 67 Senators.
We will need new leadership to guarantee even close to a just end to the criminal rule we are currently experiencing.
we will need different leaders ; Schumer and Jefferies are the "past", we need "future" leaders.
From your lips to the goddess's ears! My local Indivisible group is turning our energy to helping Dem campaigns in the coming months.
I've seen the progression of Alzheimer's close up in a family member, plus Trump's father had it so there's a genetic risk as well as behavioral risks. He violates all the rules of brain health - he's an obese rage-a-holic, who never exercises his body or mind, and apparently has a lousy diet. I've been saying it's Alzheimer's for some time. Now in the mid/late stager which means he truly can no longer differentiate reality from wishful thinking.
I heard that segment yesterday with Ari. Nice to see Ty Cobb come over to the honest side as opposed to what he was involved with previously.
You saw that Eastman was disbarred right ?
Best news of the day!
I don't care how we get him out of the OO
Since the 25th requires the action of Vance and a majority of the Cabinet, how do you propose to do that?
Jamie Raskin has proposed creating an independent commission to examine the capacity to discharge his duties of his office (sorry I don’t recall the proper terminology). It’s unlikely to pass the Rs, but the method is right in the Constitution.
Yes, and he's a Constitutional scholar. It's a legitimate response. But the point is that such a commission does not currently exist and so the only present method involves Vance and the Cabinet of sycophants and buffoons.
And when you run out of shit to report on Trump and Iran, Jeff, there’s always the story about RFK “measles” Jr. saying two years ago that black children on ADHD drugs should be re-parented. Nothing racist here. https://www.cnn.com/2026/04/16/health/video/terri-sewell-presses-rfk-black-kids-adhd-howard-digvid
Holy shit. In any other administration, that would be front page news and he would be shown the door.
Yeah, well he has his magical racoon penis so they cannot harm him. He will smite them with it and they will cower in fear.
I have an urge to smite someone. Just to have experienced smiting.
😂😂😂
Where as, this isn’t an “administration” - more like
15 clowns stuffed in a VW Bug.
Perfect, Dave!
Specifically, he said that all black children are on psych drugs, all should be taken from their parents and institutionalized ("re-parented"). Somehow, white kids on the same drugs should stay with their white parents. Given the substances he put in his body and up his nose, and the fact his dad was assassinated, maybe this all comes from the parenting he didn't get.
This entire administration is staffed by living examples from the Abnormal Psychology textbook. There's not a single normal person in there.
True. Even the alleged "adults in the room" like Rubio and Bessent are defective.
Every damn Republitard is defective!
NOT ONE!
I am not a religious person - I don't belong to any faith, but here I am agreeing with the Pope. I'm also a life-long Democrat, but here I am agreeing with MTG. The world is truly out of whack.
P.S. I'm waiting for Kegstand to quote from the Book of Armaments from "Month Python and the Holy Grail".
Kegs got WAY too much airtime for his Pope Fiction thingy…
Srry he reminds me of the kid who automatically forces a cheesy smile for the camera - ANY CAMERA
Just gonna pile on w/a hearty Sea Shanty 🙄
https://substack.com/@parislychee/note/c-244742416?r=w40wr&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=notes-share-action
Note that when he skateboarded his nuts where were his eyes, straight at the camera for the whole act.
nice catch
I can't help but wonder if there was resistance from behind. Was Kegsbreath trolled by an unknown speech writer? The very thought makes me smile.
Mary Trump suggested his speech was generated by ChatGPT because he's a stupid lazy fuck. I would have LOVED to have been in the room with Samuel L. Jackson when he found out Pastor Pete ripped off his homicidal sermon from Pulp Fiction. "That mothafucka."
I might actually like him for that . . . Nope. Nothing can save him from my utter contempt, not even quoting Monty Python.
Sometimes a worse evil unites all honest people.
"I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat." - Will Rogers
But wait, there's more! Man who audibly shits in his pants on camera is "embarrassed" by the DoorDash stunt.
hahahahahah
Oh but his ‘tacky’ remarks got chuckles from the crowd… srsly HE CAN DO NO WRONG 😒
I remember a few years ago, trump was walking past people to attend a rally. He was just past a cult member who waved her hand at her face like she was having a hot flash. My God, she must have something REALLY WRONG with her to feel attracted to this steaming POS.
Maybe she was fanning away the stink.
Haha!!! Maybe!!! 😆 💩
I think he just “farted in her general direction. “ That was not a romantic response!
Yikes!! 😆
Thank you for the Peter Capaldi Star Wars bit. I needed that. :-)
Perfect (human) antidote to a week full of AI slop thank you
So, who is nominating Pope Leo for the Nobel Peace prize??
Wouldn’t that just be the icing on the cake? 🎂
It seriously needs to happen>>>Because those that deserve, get, And those that don’t deserve, load their diapers.
Pope Leo really walked in like, “I know some of you were hoping to rent Jesus out as a Pentagon mascot, but absolutely not.” And watching the usual Fox sermonettes melt down because the Pope used Christianity for something outrageous like peace, mercy, and not turning God into a war brand has been deeply satisfying. Nothing rattles the faux-holy crowd faster than an actual Christian sounding too much like Jesus.
A Pentagon Mascot! That’s exactly what they do!!! He’s just part of the programming, a useful ad spot, a logo. You nailed it again, VMB! 👏🏻💜👏🏻💜👏🏻
Here in NC, we have the Rev. William Barber speaking out against the trump travesty. But it is fantastic to have an international leader sticking it to the felon/pedo/war-profiteer/etc,etc.etc.
AND HE NEVER MENTIONS HIM BY NAME! THAT’S THE BEST PART
I've generally no use for religion.....but Rev. Barber is the real deal, and he sure has had no use for Demento from the first moment. Pope Chicago appears to be of the same ilk.
Sean Hannity a former Catholic, who left the Catholic Church due to 'institutionalized corruption".
All to now join the MAGA "institutionalized" grifters, and corrupt Trump deity. What a idiot.
Trump is the most corrupt President ever. His family is raking in billions of dollars.
PBS News Hour did a segment yesterday on Trump family profiting since his second term began. Appearance of conflicts of interest doesn’t seem to concern them.
Hard to convey just how crazy all this is, but you do a masterful job.
Jeff gets 5 FKN 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 for CONSISTENCY‼️ it’s really amazing
Expecting Fox jabbering liars to know what they are talking about, even their professed doctrinal source material like the Bible, is futile. But luckily for them, their brain dead and bullshit-consuming audience does not know or care.
Remember Doc, in court FAUX attorneys said it should not be called news, it should be FAUX Entertainment…
Yes. And that admission, which would be a damning one in a sane arena, went unnoticed by the outrage-addicted dummies who watch Faux
