yeah, I know. the Iran story is ever-shifting and will probably change a dozen times throughout the day. but hey, that's what the comment section is for, right?
I can't say enough about this. After losing my husband yesterday, my nephew tells me there are "hundreds" of text about him. Seeing the picture of Claudia made me so happy even if I'm crying. Jeff, I love you (I know P123Sunny, you're not Jeff...but you're a super wonderful person.)
I’m SO so sorry for your loss. Here we are, all mentioning Jeff’s posting photos of Claudia which I adore and which help him handle his loss and now you’re going through the same awfulness. I’d been wondering about all of those who have, are and will experience this as well…is it going to be worse for you for us to talk about it? Does it help if we extend our deep-felt condolences? I personally feel as though just about everyone who loves Jeff (and Claudia) are ‘adopted family’ of mine but don’t want to bring more heartache. Just know a huge hug is on its way. IF you need to talk…I’m here.
As far as I'm concerned nothing that comes out of Trump's mouth about Iran is part of the story and media should stop covering it as if it is because it's all whatever flits through his imagination at the time. None of it true.
So far everything Trump has said about the war fits more neatly into the market manipulation category than actual reality. Sadly, I'll believe the Iranian regime long before I'll believe anything Trump posts. Maybe the day will come when traders stop reacting as if Trump's posts are true, and then there may be actual progress.
Rather like Trump's rehashing of the 2020 election, Kegsbreath hopes to distract from the poor conduct of the war by continually harping on trans people, even though they've already been effectively barred from the military. Pronouns are the last thing on new graduates' (or their parents') minds when it comes to what's next for the military.
We've got your back, Jeff, but our take on the proceedings won't be nearly as entertaining as yours. Love the Claudia picture. I miss the Sunday SF Chronicle!
And once again, right on cue, a young man with mental health issues already well known to the Secret Service walks up to the gate, pulls a gun, sparks a wild west gunfight, is killed, a bystander critically injured...and Donnie Fuckwit uses it to demand his Epstein Ballroom, Trumpenbunker and whorsehouse. Damn this is getting tiresome.
They will probably install a golf simulator. At the rate its brain is melting it won’t know the difference between a real golf course and one on a big ass tv. Fuck this is all so exhausting.
yeah, but it's impossible to cheat at 'simulated' golf...plus, no adoring crowds to clap, cheer and pretend to a happy surprise when he wins the trophy. Although, I must suppose a talented programmer could add those elements. Of course, Donny would need to find a devoted & talented programmer...
Maybe a super easy mini-golf course where each hole is one of his enemies with distorted faces and bloated bodies? AOC, Comey, Letitia James, Thomas Massie- the list goes on. He can brag about beating everyone he plays on the course on his stupid app. Can they trick him out with a golf cart and a caddie to play mini-golf?
I know, instead of a ballroom, why don't we pass serious gun controll measures. If we dont let crazy people have guns, there will be fewer people killed by guns. Its just a thought.
The two teenage murderers who killed three individuals in front of a mosque in San Diego used weapons owned by a shooter's mother. The stupid bitch kept guns in her house even though her son was a recognized homicide-suicide risk flagged by the police. Similar to Sandy Hook.
Horrendous. My solution is radical. People should have to take a psych evaluation before conceiving and raising a child. The most dangerous weapon in the world seems to be crazy people.
You’re right Sharon: Crazy kids in the house and guns laying around…what could go wrong? I mean, you’ve got to have guns laying around in case junior gets a hankering to hunt some humans. It could very traumatic for him to grow up without a gun to shoot people if he suddenly got an urge. Kids need to be molly coddled with guns in order to grow up to be honorable citizens right? How else can junior be taught not to shoot people if there is no gun around with which not to shoot people. It makes total sense. Why can’t anyone understand that? Guns are an absolutely vital tool for the upbringing of our youth wouldn’t you say? Look at how well it’s working. They sharpen negotiating strategy and are a sure fire way to end arguments permanently every time.
These gun nuts—they got it goin’ on. They’ve got it all figured out…
Have Trump or any of his sycophants demanding the bunker said anything about the San Diego shooting? Any tots and pears? Or are they silent because the target and victims are Muslim?
Yeah, but the powers that be want stupid guys feel the are free and strong because they have guns, and so willing to put up a lot of crap from the right wing upper class.
well actually, the felon isn't usually elsewhere. Especially now that The Season is over in Palm Beach (too hot & humid & hurricane season about to start). The felon has been spending at least most Fri nights in DC since ~Jan. I maintain that it's for some health reason: treatment or to see a specialist. Yes, his motorcade may go to the golf course Sat & (some) Sundays. But if you read the WH press pool reports, they rarely actually see the felon. & we don't have pics & video of him actually playing golf like we did during his 1st term. So all the "the felon played golf this weekend" is an ASSUMPTION. & you know what Felix Unger said about assuming.
Does anyone think he actually has the ability to run anything anymore? I think the only thing he does figure out are ways to get money out of the treasury, other politicians and wealthy business people and into his personal bank accounts. All the legal, political and policy matters are probably handled by really bad people propping him up.
I also do not believe he can play golf anymore. Somewhere in the zone of Trumpwatchers I got the received idea that once Trump gave up golf, it would be a short time until he gave up living.
Another fake “shooting”. Have we seen the shooter’s body? Or is he just killing any MAGA volunteer to get his bunker. Of course that’s what he’s doing.
Actually, there were many "attempts" (people in the vicinity with guns) but the system worked, they were stopped and Obama didn't pose as a martyr every time.
Here's the MAGA narrative on that: Obama was protected by the commie Deep State at every turn, but Trump is our martyr and that same trans-activist Deep State is out to kill him.
Obviously, Trump was in no danger at all because he was inside the White House, which already has bulletproof glass. Second, this is a guy who, a few years ago, tried to invade the White House, claiming he was Jesus Christ. But Second-Amendment-worshipping Republicans can't fathom that maybe he was somebody who should not have had access to weapons.
Right now, it is Tuesday, May 26th at almost 7pm PT and I have yet to hear about this story despite being mostly tuned into the news. I've seen references that something along the lines that another "attempt" happened but no actual news stories with details.
I'm so happy about that. This might be the first time I've avoided hearing about Trump bullshit against my will. It also seems to me that people are getting tired of the boy who cried wolf if I've managed to avoid it.
The Huckster?? I mean, on the one hand, I continue to be appalled that the person camping out in the White House and calling himself president is a complete illiterate; however, on the other hand, I have to appreciate the absolute accuracy in readjusting Hogan's name.
And the photo of the Huckster, mostly undressed and wearing teeny-tiny Spandex shorts once again raises questions about Donnie Demento's repressed inclinations.
I honestly believe that is what he is afraid will be revealed in the Epstein reports. There were long ago reports of a little boy's family being paid off...
Jeff, you could have taken the day off and we’d all forgive you. But thank you for including our favorite nut-buster gif, plus a Daily Claudia. Yes, I remember newspapers, especially the Sunday NYT.
Donnie is ping-ponging between TACO trump and War Criminal trump, and congress is sitting around like it has absolutely no say. Impeachment? 25th Amendment? Anything?
Nah. There are no institutional remedies that will work here. The People have spoken. That The People are as dumb as a bag of rocks is beside the point. Chickens are already roosting, and we have 2.5 more years to watch it all unravel. But so does Donnie and the MAGA base.
I'm reading a good book right now about the rise of Vince McMahon and his good buddy Donald Trump, called "Ringmaster: Vince McMahon and the Unmaking of America". Hulk not Huck) Hogan is in there! A childhood friend of Donny's said about him, "He would get an idea in his head, and he'd be wrong, and you'd tell him he was wrong. And the next day he would say the same thing. You could never convince him of anything." He hasn't changed!
Probably because he, and most other presidents, didn't micromanage everyone and everything and could agree to disagee like a mature, intelligent human being.
Shocked I say Frosty. Shocked. Friends? No. He has “hangers on” and those are slowly going fucking bye (as smart people like to say).
As an aside, Trump’s gasping snuffing utterances are getting worse and before long will turn into prolonged barking and guttural noises that will be completely incoherent — at which time his hangers on will proclaim he is speaking in tongues and that he is therefore definitely the second coming and we should all bow down before him.
And Stephen Miller will officially become the trump whisperer and will translate Donnie for us. And we’ll be treated to things like “nazi good”, “cheeburger good”. God help us.
(They’re probably taking bets on when that will happen)
At least he got to dodge his senior failson’s wedding while being at the White House for another shooting incident that proves how much he needs his gilded Epstein ballroom bunker.
Imagine that being at your son's wedding and getting shot. The news media would go nuts trying to figure out who the target was, the "coke sniffer" for a deal gone wrong or the old man with a deal gone wrong on Iran. Makes my head spin in a good way.
There is a simple explanation to the latest Iran deal. Donald didn’t want to attend Jr’s wedding. And he wanted to position himself make some extra money on oil futures for when the markets reopen on Tuesday.
My favorite Dorothy Parker quote is from a book review she wrote. "This is not a book to be tossed aside lightly; it should be thrown with great force."
Try to enjoy your own life with friends or family and us on Jeff's column. And just laugh at this ridiculous ahole who in spite of his money, is probably sick and his sons are praying for their inheritance.
rlritt, wouldn’t it be great to forcibly (or give them an offer that they can’t refuse) donate ALL their money to legitimate charities? It’s all ill gotten money. It’s all grift graft and corruption. Let it rain money on all those who need it. And let the tears fall from all those who stole it.
If there is any justice left in the world, the next congress and administration will see to it that those ill-gotten gains are confiscated and used for reparations (including funding stripped by DOGE for things like USAID and NPR/PBS).
We didn't know how good we had it during COVID - compared to now! At least we could understand why we had to quarantine during a deadly pandemic, unlike MAGA and their DL.
No they were Union Steamfitters. Their union hall had no work for them. It was mid seventies during the gas shortages. A lot of people were out of work. The union allowed them to work non union jobs just to keep them working. Long story short the were hired by Trump Sr and then Donny was put on job site to learn the business running a job site. He screwed up constantly had tried to make them do short cuts that they told Donny wouldn’t pass inspection and shorted their pay packages blaming new accounting firm would get it straighten out by next pay but the next pay another shortage would happened. When they went to Trump Sr about the short cuts etc. and the payment shortages he promised another separate pay packages. But never corrected any of it so they walked off. Triggering others to do the same. He stiffed at least 30 men of thousands of dollars and never payed back all the deductions they said was going towards the union but they never paid.
Imagine being so petty that the accomplishments of popular president Barack HUSSEIN Obama would send you into a hissy from which the entire world has suffered deep economic damage.
This guy…
Speaking of guys, I don’t think I’d ever seen a photo of communications man. How did Odd Job sneak into our White House?
Kegsbreath needs to lay off the prayer meetings, he thinks he’s the new manly version of Joel megachurch.
Being a card-carrying sensitive DEI-promoting pinko lib, I must object to this post by "George in Atlanta", if that's who you really are! Stephen Cheung is Chinese-American and Harold Sakata was Japanese-American. Conflating these two individuals is deeply racist and does not LIVE UP to our standards here!
Some of those old war songs will need a quick re write. “War is over, well not really, nah ah ah”.🎶 or “War, what is it good for, absolutely nothing - except market manipulation”
The daily avalanche of incredibly bad and unimaginably stupid news only touched upon by you (no Hercules you, and far bigger the modern Augean Stables of the stupidos in charge) are scary and depressing, to say the least. So, here's something that might strike you as news, Jeff, though it shouldn't. (OK, someone might have already wised you up on this and it's just me not paying attention. Here goes.) The Daily Claudia column functions for the reader not just as a personal affectionate homage by you but as a wind of cool fresh air, of hope, and the best in us. Keep up the good work, sir.
That was another Big Lie perpetrated by the whole right wing ecosystem, the rethuglican elected officials and their pet media, and as usual the left did not refute the lie strongly enough
The way the right neofascists usurp the terms Liberty, freedom, patriot, as well as the symbolism of the semiquincentennial, the Fourth of July, and 1776 is infuriating
yeah, I know. the Iran story is ever-shifting and will probably change a dozen times throughout the day. but hey, that's what the comment section is for, right?
As well as the Iranian news agencies. Which I lend far more credence to than the White House missives.
I give more credence to a random groundhog than to Trump.
Sadly, I so agree with you. I turn to them to understand the state of affairs.
Indeed.
We are all happy to oblige, Jeff. Have a great weekend.
Claudia pics have become a highlight ngl
Claudia's light continues to shine brightly for us all .
I can't say enough about this. After losing my husband yesterday, my nephew tells me there are "hundreds" of text about him. Seeing the picture of Claudia made me so happy even if I'm crying. Jeff, I love you (I know P123Sunny, you're not Jeff...but you're a super wonderful person.)
I’m so sorry💔
I’m so sorry for the loss of your beloved husband. My heart goes out to you.
I’m SO so sorry for your loss. Here we are, all mentioning Jeff’s posting photos of Claudia which I adore and which help him handle his loss and now you’re going through the same awfulness.

No, it's fine. You have no idea how much help Jeff's photos are.
So sorry for your loss, though somehow those words never seem adequate.
Sunday surprise opening my eyes to you and MS Spouse 💙

I think it’s all about the pronouns, Jeff. Kegsbreath nearly changed pronouns with the flip of a skateboard, and he’s been traumatized ever since
Rather like Trump's rehashing of the 2020 election, Kegsbreath hopes to distract from the poor conduct of the war by continually harping on trans people, even though they've already been effectively barred from the military. Pronouns are the last thing on new graduates' (or their parents') minds when it comes to what's next for the military.
Exactly.
Pronouns wut? Who wrote that shit?
Jeff, for being pressed for time you did yourself proud. And the photos of Claudia make my day.
haha!!!!
Latent homosexuality is a bitch. Our troops, and these precious new grads, deserve better than this sorry excuse for a leader.
Pump and dump the stock market. He always does this. And have a good Memorial Day, we are all thinking of you and your family.
Yet a valuable snapshot for The United States of Amnesia - Ty for your service
We've got your back, Jeff, but our take on the proceedings won't be nearly as entertaining as yours. Love the Claudia picture. I miss the Sunday SF Chronicle!
I like the structure of these posts.
And once again, right on cue, a young man with mental health issues already well known to the Secret Service walks up to the gate, pulls a gun, sparks a wild west gunfight, is killed, a bystander critically injured...and Donnie Fuckwit uses it to demand his Epstein Ballroom, Trumpenbunker and whorsehouse. Damn this is getting tiresome.
If Trump wants a congruent message, hahaha, then he would never travel to Florida to golf, because the ballroom can’t protect him there.
When he barricades himself in the Ballroom Bunkerᵀᴹ in his attempt to never leave, how's he gonna play golf? Did he ever think about THAT? 😅
They will probably install a golf simulator. At the rate its brain is melting it won’t know the difference between a real golf course and one on a big ass tv. Fuck this is all so exhausting.
More like a one-hole golf course, where he can shit and hit the hole with a golf ball.
Can't we just skip the bunker, dig a great big, deep hole, toss him and his golf clubs in, rebuild the East Wing and forget the whole thing?
Best idea yet! 👏🏻
I'm pretty sure he already has this:
https://www.walmart.com/ip/20089363087?sid=02008f6a-5eda-4ff2-a92f-087236cbf668
Does he even sit on his golden commodes anymore, or does he just drumpf in his diapers?
⬆️⬆️🤣🤣🤣🤣👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
They should install a wife simulator too
an AI Ivanka
It may be hard to tell the difference
He's commissioning Musk to make one ASAP
😄wife simulator…his favorite
He certainly isn't "stimulating" his wife
yeah, but it's impossible to cheat at 'simulated' golf...plus, no adoring crowds to clap, cheer and pretend to a happy surprise when he wins the trophy. Although, I must suppose a talented programmer could add those elements. Of course, Donny would need to find a devoted & talented programmer...
It 😆
"don’t forget to miss the Huckster" How can I miss you if you won't go away? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rW9-FOLG-iA
Trump is absolutely OBSESSED of late with other men's big muscles.
And Arnold Palmer's schlong.
Perhaps his inhibitions are disintegrating to the point that his real self is emerging....
It's when they go away when the problem begins. Take care... That music is from our youth...
Maybe a super easy mini-golf course where each hole is one of his enemies with distorted faces and bloated bodies? AOC, Comey, Letitia James, Thomas Massie- the list goes on. He can brag about beating everyone he plays on the course on his stupid app. Can they trick him out with a golf cart and a caddie to play mini-golf?
Don’t give him any ideas. Next thing we know the bunker will be outfitted with an 18 hole golf course.
HA!
I think dRuMp missed the class on ‘Congruent’ bk in grade school…
Trump avoided any learning from birth to today.
Avoided learning from birth to today…😄 And it shows! He’s number one in this respect!
So very true🤯
This
I know, instead of a ballroom, why don't we pass serious gun controll measures. If we dont let crazy people have guns, there will be fewer people killed by guns. Its just a thought.
The two teenage murderers who killed three individuals in front of a mosque in San Diego used weapons owned by a shooter's mother. The stupid bitch kept guns in her house even though her son was a recognized homicide-suicide risk flagged by the police. Similar to Sandy Hook.
Horrendous. My solution is radical. People should have to take a psych evaluation before conceiving and raising a child. The most dangerous weapon in the world seems to be crazy people.
You’re right Sharon: Crazy kids in the house and guns laying around…what could go wrong? I mean, you’ve got to have guns laying around in case junior gets a hankering to hunt some humans. It could very traumatic for him to grow up without a gun to shoot people if he suddenly got an urge. Kids need to be molly coddled with guns in order to grow up to be honorable citizens right?

They sharpen negotiating strategy and are a sure fire way to end arguments permanently every time.
These gun nuts—they got it goin’ on. They’ve got it all figured out…
Till they don’t…which is always.
Have Trump or any of his sycophants demanding the bunker said anything about the San Diego shooting? Any tots and pears? Or are they silent because the target and victims are Muslim?
The mother should be charged.
rlritt, you’re asking Republican sycophants to think and reason. You’re asking a lot and probably way too much.
Picking out what shade of red tie to wear is about all they’re up to.
But hey, it doesn’t hurt to dream
😄👍🏼
rlritt-More of these Commie thoughts and you’ll have to be indicted for thinking! 🙄😄
Trust me, I dont make it a habit.
And use common sense! Never!
My idea is gun control laws oassed prior to any ballroom. We all and especially children deserve to feel safer, correct Mr President?
Yeah, but the powers that be want stupid guys feel the are free and strong because they have guns, and so willing to put up a lot of crap from the right wing upper class.
Here’s another thought. Only crazy people own guns. Maybe a generalization but I bet it’s not too far from the truth.
And so convenient that his lordship was in the manor at the time rather than elsewhere as usual.
well actually, the felon isn't usually elsewhere. Especially now that The Season is over in Palm Beach (too hot & humid & hurricane season about to start). The felon has been spending at least most Fri nights in DC since ~Jan. I maintain that it's for some health reason: treatment or to see a specialist. Yes, his motorcade may go to the golf course Sat & (some) Sundays. But if you read the WH press pool reports, they rarely actually see the felon. & we don't have pics & video of him actually playing golf like we did during his 1st term. So all the "the felon played golf this weekend" is an ASSUMPTION. & you know what Felix Unger said about assuming.
“Let’s hide him from the public & press for another 2.5 years.
It can work!”
Does anyone think he actually has the ability to run anything anymore? I think the only thing he does figure out are ways to get money out of the treasury, other politicians and wealthy business people and into his personal bank accounts. All the legal, political and policy matters are probably handled by really bad people propping him up.
MAGAs think he can do anything
Yup. Took me forever to accept the word "cult" as applied to one so dullwitted.
I also do not believe he can play golf anymore. Somewhere in the zone of Trumpwatchers I got the received idea that once Trump gave up golf, it would be a short time until he gave up living.
From your lips to God's ears
What I have always opined.
Doesn't he go to Bedminster in the summer?
Yes, just so convenient. One might be given over to conspiracy theories... But there is a pattern that is hard to ignore.
Word. Once gets your attention, twice is a coincidence, and three is a plan.
"Mr Bond, in Chicago, they have a saying: Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, and the third time is enemy action."--Auric Goldfinger
And, once again, not taken to a more secure area.
Not to mention that the shooting was not at the White House, or in front of the White House.
There are always people outside the White House with bad intentions. That's why the perimeter is protected. It's happened under every president.
You beat me to it. Great minds, etc, or just too friggin predictable at this sorry point?
Another fake “shooting”. Have we seen the shooter’s body? Or is he just killing any MAGA volunteer to get his bunker. Of course that’s what he’s doing.
This shooter was nowhere near the Dear Leader- had no chance of any damage to the fuhrer.
Like the one in Florida who it's not even clear was targeting g trump.
They gave him Life just in case.
Weird that the SS kept the first Black president safe without incident for eight years, but this mofo is being shot at all of the time.
Actually, there were many "attempts" (people in the vicinity with guns) but the system worked, they were stopped and Obama didn't pose as a martyr every time.
Goes to show how the competency of the SS has declined under drumpf, just like the entire Federal gubmint
Here's the MAGA narrative on that: Obama was protected by the commie Deep State at every turn, but Trump is our martyr and that same trans-activist Deep State is out to kill him.
Good one
Obviously, Trump was in no danger at all because he was inside the White House, which already has bulletproof glass.

Another Memorable Day.
Thank you Peter! This is exactly where I went with it! :-/
It's almost like it's staged. Killing the guy with the mental health issues is just fine with the eugenicists.
Right now, it is Tuesday, May 26th at almost 7pm PT and I have yet to hear about this story despite being mostly tuned into the news. I've seen references that something along the lines that another "attempt" happened but no actual news stories with details.
I'm so happy about that. This might be the first time I've avoided hearing about Trump bullshit against my will. It also seems to me that people are getting tired of the boy who cried wolf if I've managed to avoid it.
Well said.
The difference between Obama's Iran agreement and Cankles' is black and white.
I see what you did there.

Excellent!

The Huckster?? I mean, on the one hand, I continue to be appalled that the person camping out in the White House and calling himself president is a complete illiterate; however, on the other hand, I have to appreciate the absolute accuracy in readjusting Hogan's name.

I honestly believe that is what he is afraid will be revealed in the Epstein reports. There were long ago reports of a little boy's family being paid off...
Bibi has the goods on Donny. Exactly why he dragged the US neck deep in this Iran fiasco.
How did you find out about that?
You think drumpf actually has the ability to know what he does is has done is on the side of wrong?
He's a certifiable psychopath, incapable of remorse or empathy. The American people haven't fully grasped this as fact yet.
He'll be selling Trump Wrestling Belts next week.
Two egomaniac friends who strutted, self-awed

Very nice, H12thDoc!
😂😂
In honor of his UFC EPSTEIN Battle Royale on the WH grounds....
😂 You’re correct!
Camping out is a nice way of putting it. He's invoked squatters rights. Mine, mine, mine!
Jeff, you could have taken the day off and we’d all forgive you. But thank you for including our favorite nut-buster gif, plus a Daily Claudia. Yes, I remember newspapers, especially the Sunday NYT.
We still get our local newspaper, delivered each morning.
Where do you live, 1957 Mayberry?
And the paper is delivered every afternoon by the neighborhood kid on a bicycle. 😝😝😝
OMG. Flashback. This kid.... does he have a baseball cap and a slingshot in his back pocket?
Rod Serling, Line One!
😆😆😆 Actually, I live in a major metropolitan area.
Donnie is ping-ponging between TACO trump and War Criminal trump, and congress is sitting around like it has absolutely no say. Impeachment? 25th Amendment? Anything?
Dems have no majority power - but microphones are free… they can influence as much as Rogan or nah
Mike Johnson won't put any bills up for debate or a vote. His one job now is to make Congress totally ineffective.
Making Congress totally ineffective is the one job I’m confident he can accomplish.
Congress is a zero.
Nah. There are no institutional remedies that will work here. The People have spoken. That The People are as dumb as a bag of rocks is beside the point. Chickens are already roosting, and we have 2.5 more years to watch it all unravel. But so does Donnie and the MAGA base.

He had a friend?
Iran's Fars News spilled the tea
What non-MAGA Americans can see
That his blustering tweets
Are cult bullshit treats
With no connection to reality
Revealing AS HELL. 🦊 has enabled a fake reality to THRIVE and somehow it’s all legal. Sad
Always wondered why BHO allowed 🦊 to continue to play on military bases for 8 yrs but coulda backfired if they banned it I GUESS
Probably because he, and most other presidents, didn't micromanage everyone and everything and could agree to disagee like a mature, intelligent human being.
😂😂😂
Another excellent one, Doc.
Shocked I say Frosty. Shocked. Friends? No. He has “hangers on” and those are slowly going fucking bye (as smart people like to say).
As an aside, Trump’s gasping snuffing utterances are getting worse and before long will turn into prolonged barking and guttural noises that will be completely incoherent — at which time his hangers on will proclaim he is speaking in tongues and that he is therefore definitely the second coming and we should all bow down before him.
And Stephen Miller will officially become the trump whisperer and will translate Donnie for us. And we’ll be treated to things like “nazi good”, “cheeburger good”. God help us.
(They’re probably taking bets on when that will happen)
Sad to say, I think you're right. How have we sunk so low so fast?!
Good question Frosty. Please tell me we’re a good people. I heard “that” either directly stated or inferred my whole life and now I’m in doubt. WTF?
Perhaps they were more like school mates. Wonder if he got teased and bullied?
Puleeze, friends are an illusion for that sucker of air!
At least he got to dodge his senior failson’s wedding while being at the White House for another shooting incident that proves how much he needs his gilded Epstein ballroom bunker.
which it doesn't prove, because THEY STOPPED THE GUY
I know, logic, right?
If only they’d been able to pay the guy with slush money - he’d never have tried it. You do wonder how much his family is getting.
I've always wondered that about Jack Ruby ....
Dammit!!
I wonder how much Trump had to pay to have some nut job shoot his gun in the vicinity of the White House? Could be another set up you know.
Its probably not hard to find some mentally ill guy and give him a gun and some cash.
Two words rlritt: “Manchurian Candidate”
So he can contrinue to golf when an attempt ‘happened’ on his own course?
How is golfing safe
Imagine that being at your son's wedding and getting shot. The news media would go nuts trying to figure out who the target was, the "coke sniffer" for a deal gone wrong or the old man with a deal gone wrong on Iran. Makes my head spin in a good way.
I'd pay good money to go to that wedding, and I hate going to weddings.
There is a simple explanation to the latest Iran deal. Donald didn’t want to attend Jr’s wedding. And he wanted to position himself make some extra money on oil futures for when the markets reopen on Tuesday.
Yes. Okkam’s Razor
Thank you for the Daily Claudia.
Life in the US is so shitty now; every morning, I wake up quoting Dorothy Parker: “what fresh hell is this?”
Seeing Claudia (and, especially, Claudia with you and Katie) makes me feel normal and hopeful - maybe it will all be ok - for a while.
MmeRose, thanks for the reminder about Dorothy Parker’s quote. I think I will embroider a pillow….or find a coffee mug with the quote!
My favorite Dorothy Parker quote is from a book review she wrote. "This is not a book to be tossed aside lightly; it should be thrown with great force."
That was for Atlas Shrugged, IIRC
Well, that would certainly be appropriate.
Good one ☝️
Try to enjoy your own life with friends or family and us on Jeff's column. And just laugh at this ridiculous ahole who in spite of his money, is probably sick and his sons are praying for their inheritance.
rlritt, wouldn’t it be great to forcibly (or give them an offer that they can’t refuse) donate ALL their money to legitimate charities? It’s all ill gotten money. It’s all grift graft and corruption. Let it rain money on all those who need it. And let the tears fall from all those who stole it.
If there is any justice left in the world, the next congress and administration will see to it that those ill-gotten gains are confiscated and used for reparations (including funding stripped by DOGE for things like USAID and NPR/PBS).
Yes Deb! That’s what should be done!
I share your daily quote, though I couldn’t remember who originated it. I’m happy to remember Dorothy Parker. Thanks!
We didn't know how good we had it during COVID - compared to now! At least we could understand why we had to quarantine during a deadly pandemic, unlike MAGA and their DL.
Trump never made a sound deal in his life. I look forward to working for Iran for the rest of my life, likely.
Always wondered where those stiffed contractors were in the 2016 lead up, ya know?…
My Da was dead and buried by then and his five brothers also.
Awww. Sorry.
Hey Frank
No they were Union Steamfitters. Their union hall had no work for them. It was mid seventies during the gas shortages. A lot of people were out of work. The union allowed them to work non union jobs just to keep them working. Long story short the were hired by Trump Sr and then Donny was put on job site to learn the business running a job site. He screwed up constantly had tried to make them do short cuts that they told Donny wouldn’t pass inspection and shorted their pay packages blaming new accounting firm would get it straighten out by next pay but the next pay another shortage would happened. When they went to Trump Sr about the short cuts etc. and the payment shortages he promised another separate pay packages. But never corrected any of it so they walked off. Triggering others to do the same. He stiffed at least 30 men of thousands of dollars and never payed back all the deductions they said was going towards the union but they never paid.
The Trump's are total scum.
And yet so many working class love him. If they only knew how the treat treat working people.
But they live in a bubble and won't listen to anything outside that bubble.
Nightmaher, I’m sorry to hear that. Were they contractors who had unfortunate dealings with trump?
Another admission as confession,The Huckster.
Imagine being so petty that the accomplishments of popular president Barack HUSSEIN Obama would send you into a hissy from which the entire world has suffered deep economic damage.
This guy…
Speaking of guys, I don’t think I’d ever seen a photo of communications man. How did Odd Job sneak into our White House?
Kegsbreath needs to lay off the prayer meetings, he thinks he’s the new manly version of Joel megachurch.
Oh! I urge you to look up an image of “communications man”. You will see exactly how he fits in with this “administration”.
I saw the thumbnail in the post here and thought wow. Familiar movie character.
At your urging, further investigation yielded WOW. More than just a James Bond villain. A real psycho.
Not a coincidence that Odd Job was Goldfinger's bodyguard. I'm sure this delighted Trump's brain.
"Odd Job!" That made me laugh!
We aim to please
The fact that he can make life miserable for millions of folks is probably an added incentive.
Wait, what Aunt Teefa? Trump hired “Odd Job” when he could have had kid rock for a case of bud. Someone’s asleep at the wheel.
Stephen Cheung, Harold Sakata (RIP).
Separated at birth? Just asking questions.

Being a card-carrying sensitive DEI-promoting pinko lib, I must object to this post by "George in Atlanta", if that's who you really are! Stephen Cheung is Chinese-American and Harold Sakata was Japanese-American. Conflating these two individuals is deeply racist and does not LIVE UP to our standards here!
It's also funny as shit.
The ping-ponging between schaden and freude is wearing me out. Also, even when he’s right, fuck Ted Cruz.

Some of those old war songs will need a quick re write. “War is over, well not really, nah ah ah”.🎶 or “War, what is it good for, absolutely nothing - except market manipulation”
Just ask the Bush family. It’s always been good for someone.
The daily avalanche of incredibly bad and unimaginably stupid news only touched upon by you (no Hercules you, and far bigger the modern Augean Stables of the stupidos in charge) are scary and depressing, to say the least. So, here's something that might strike you as news, Jeff, though it shouldn't. (OK, someone might have already wised you up on this and it's just me not paying attention. Here goes.) The Daily Claudia column functions for the reader not just as a personal affectionate homage by you but as a wind of cool fresh air, of hope, and the best in us. Keep up the good work, sir.
re the $25B in unfrozen Iranian assets.
Who recalls the felon endlessly spewing lies about the $1.8B Iran received (frozen assets + interest) when it signed the JCPOA with Obama?
$25B is more than 10x that.

He won’t be happy -nor will his master, Putin - until this country is bankrupted.
Oh, we remember Faux Noise & other right wing media screeching about “pallets of cash!”
That was another Big Lie perpetrated by the whole right wing ecosystem, the rethuglican elected officials and their pet media, and as usual the left did not refute the lie strongly enough
Sensing a theme here over his obsession or was it just by some stroke of evil genius that his slush fund is also 1.8 billion?
The sick genius is that the extortion is $1.776 billion, as in the year 1776. Just in time for the 250th anniversary of Independence Day.
The way the right neofascists usurp the terms Liberty, freedom, patriot, as well as the symbolism of the semiquincentennial, the Fourth of July, and 1776 is infuriating
