today in Shit That Happened While I Was Busy Writing This Shit— hmm, I got nothing. for some reason, there are no notifications on my phone. okay, gang, what am I missing?
Jasmine is very much in the picture in helping get these Democrats elected in Texas. It's FIRE (either group or Pac). I don't have the exact name yet. I too want to see her show that sharp, incisive legal mind of hers in the Senate. Mitch would have a heart attack, lol.
Me too! She's been my hero for years now, and my husband was kinda lukewarm about her UNTIL he finally watched her, heard her speak. Then he told me, "I get it now, totally understand!" 😂😂 She's a fireball with a world class mind❣️
THAT is the difference, though - the magats turned on Cornyn because frump ordered them to because of one little no vote. However, in the overall voting Texas demographic, so many are seeing their costs sky-rocket - you can't go anywhere without driving for miles and miles in their trucks AND they know Paxton is a deeply-flawed criminal who, like frump should be in prison. He has 11 homes (imagine that) claiming 3 of them as his primary residence! Geez, he's frump in miniature. His problem also lies in that James Talarico flipped the Hispanic and Catholic/Christian vote in the primary...is an actual preacher who's squeaky clean (Texans just love their Christian boys) and one of Paxton's huge sins was cheating on his wife as well (did I say frump in miniature? He wants to BE frump - already thinks he is). FIVE other Democrats won last night as well so my hope is that the overall Texas voters will be quite unlike the magats and vote sanely.
Good grief, Maine has one of those, too. Paul LePage. I thought we had finally banished him to Floriduh but no, up he pops again...mostly because he can't stand to be out of the spotlight and he thinks it might be a good opportunity to capture the Representative spot for CD#2 and get himself to Washington, DC to rub shoulders with money and influence. LePage has actually bragged that he was Trump before Trump was Trump. Gag.
Even if they do it might not be enough. This is Texas we're talking about. The governor's office probably has Roberts's phone number saved to contacts so they can expedite an overthrow of any election that seats a Democrat.
Agreed. But it's not a bug for Texas, it's a feature. The high concentration of tiny-brained MAGAs there could def red-wave right over Talarico. The GOP will have to spend a metric shit-ton of money where it should be a BBQ-eating walk in the park, so that's fun.
Or the rest of the Texas lege decides to just ignore the results. They need to lay the groundwork for trump refusing to leave in 28 if he gets voted out. Why not start in texas? That's arguably where it would be easiest to do.
D'you seriously believe frump will still be around 2-1/2 full years from now? Did you LOOK at those photos or hear the blithering blathering he's doing on a daily basis? I give it no more than 6 'Weekend at Bernie' months - maybe a year, before they simply canNOT hide his drooling incompetence/mental 'slippage' (the gentlest word I could think of). We all know it's far, FAR worse.
What else can you say about a state that elected, multiple times, Jesse James as state treasurer. He had nothing going for him other than his name. He was so "smart" that he held state funds in a non-interest bearing checking account.
California says "Hold my beer." According to yesterdays' reports on the Governor's race, "Two new polls show Republican Steve Hilton leading, with Democrats Tom Steyer and Xavier Becerra close in tow." We may wake up to a conservative Brit in the Governor's seat in November. KMN
Man, if only the party hadn't let the serial sexual predator position himself as the frontrunner for that seat apparently in the hopes that the women he assaulted would just stay quiet.
Steyer with all his $$$$$ and relentless TV ads is not likeable or credible as a representative of the People (and he's OLD). He needs to drop out and endorse/support Becerra.
Hilton is only on top because the only other Repub-lie-and-con is the idiot "constitutional sheriff" who stole ballots in support of election fraud conspiracy and tried to sue the State of California for passing sanctuary e laws.
I worry that the cheating in red states will be off the charts. They are counting on Democrats not calling foul or demanding recounts and proof that all eligible ballots were counted accurately and not flipped to the other side. What do they have to lose?
As a Texas voter (since 1990) I also won't be surprised. But, I'd phrase it another way: every rural Texan (and his cow and dog) showing up to vote and somehow surpassing those of us that live in five of the major urban areas in the country. Can't explain, but I have seen it time and time again.
Maybe they count Republican votes twice. Or switch Democratic votes to Republican votes after the fact. Hell, maybe they don't bother counting the votes at all, they just make up numbers that sound realistic and report those. Not like anyone down there who isn't already a Republican has the clout to do anything about it.
Yes, in the sense that they are NAZIs. They would have no trouble with concentration camps or gas chambers. I fear when we go to these detention centers they will be empty and there will be mass graves in the back.
When I read about NAZIs I always ask myself, but who do this. Now I know.
"They would have no trouble with concentration camps or gas chambers"
They actively enjoy both. Remember when the young Republicans group chat got leaked and several of them openly talked about gas chambers and executions?
Rachel Maddow reported recently on incinerators for biohazardous materials, to be placed at some of those detention centers. Why? So they can cremate remains to avoid accountability?
This is incredible. I can't believe this is happening. How are there people who are so evil? Dont they realize they generally, eventually, are discovered and their evil exposed?
it wasn't 'Texas' - it was the magats heeding the orders of their 'boss', No. 1. If you count the actual number of votes, I'd bet most voters didn't bother - it's 'only' a primary after all. How many people do WE know who don't bother themselves with primaries since they don't grasp the importance. Then the ACTUAL election and they're faced with a choice of a pig or someone decent. James Talarico scored very highly with those Hispanics who'd turned away from democrats before but are now coming back in droves due to what ice is doing AND with Independents 'and others' (disillusioned republicans)? After the FIVE democratic wins in Texas last night I'd say James' chances are excellent - barring musk's dogies fucking up the machines/ballots.
Never underestimate the stupidity of Texas citizens. They are some of the most fucking stupid people you will ever meet and there is nothing to dissuade them from truth.
Paxton calls Talarico "six genders Jimmie" (?!) because trans "jokes" are big with maga; as he also brands Talarico as not sufficiently "masculine". Republican men are obsessed with other men's "characteristics". 🙄
Saw a pretty young lady with a drawl on YouTube who joked that forensic science doesn't work in Alabama because there are no dental records and the DNA is all the same
On September 2, 2015, Rep. Allen Farley (R-McCalla) called on Attorney General Luther Strange's (R) office to look into allegations that Bentley used state funds to cover up activities related to his divorce and an alleged affair. The alleged improper spending included overtime paid to state troopers on the governor's security detail and use of state aircraft for non-official purposes. Bentley denied misusing state property and called the divorce a private matter.[11][12] The attorney general's office acknowledged receipt of the letter, but declined to comment on the allegations.[13]
Alabama First Lady Dianne Bentley filed for divorce from her husband of 50 years on August 28, 2015.[12]
On March 22, 2016, another allegation of the affair was made by a former head of the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, Spencer Collier. Collier claimed that Bentley had been involved with a senior political adviser named Rebekah Mason and that he may have misused state funds in order to cover up the affair. Bentley fired Collier from his post that same day for allegedly misusing ALEA funds; Collier claimed his dismissal was retaliation for refusing to cover up the affair.[14][15]
Recordings of the governor were published on March 23, 2016, which included comments of a sexual nature made to Mason on a telephone call in 2014. In a press conference on March 24, Bentley did not disavow the recordings but denied ever having a physical relationship with Mason. He apologized to the people of Alabama for the comments on the recording, but stated: "I have never done anything illegal [as governor]. I have never asked any member of my staff or any cabinet member to lie." He further added: "[a]t no time have I ever used the resources of my office to facilitate a relationship of any type."[16]
I still remember awhile back when Talarico said that he was cisgender and Trump misheard it and thought that he said that he had six genders. Not one Republican had the balls to correct him. They all just nodded their heads and agreed with him that that was just wrong. That no one should have six genders.
Yup - they're STILL using it as a 'thing' - now it's paxton who somehow thinks that James is himself transgender. Boy is HE offbase, butTalarico actually began his 'fire back' at the crooked guy campaign tonight - on, I believe - Lawrence O'Donnell's show. I think he should call it 'whackypax' (akin to whack-a-mole). Another goodie, he had on Andrew Weissman whose new book just hit No. 1 on the NY Times BestSeller list. I inadvertently UNDER-listed those non-voters in this primary. According to the experts Paxton got 90,000 votes while there are 18 MILLION voters in Texas. Why did the rest of the slightly less than 18 million not vote for paxton? Perhaps because they're already swinging blue? OR there's going to be a fucking blue Tsunami in November. I know which one MY money is on with the energy ramping up against frump's clear uncaring about everyday Americans.
Colin Allred ALSO won in Texas - as well as a few other Democrats. Jasmine Crockett is part of a FIRE group helping turn Texas BLUE (and SO not that fugly blue frump's desecrated the reflecting pool with). If anyone missed it, he didn't even call in an 'expert', but used the same civilian with ZERO expertise to 'work on' OUR National Monument! He uses these inexpert off-the-books mooks just SO he doesn't have to pay real, qualified Experts. We MUST have it all put back as it was - even if it means creating a new 'Department of Fixing OUR Shit frump Broke'. Hey, that's how we can put crushhisnuts and the other googly-eyed drunk to work...using wheelbarrows to cart away the crap from their old 'boss'. I want to go along to pry that fake-gold tat off the walls. Now, if only those walls could speak...Sigh.
Pam Bondi diagnosed with thyroid cancer? I don't remotely celebrate ANYONE gettting a cancer diagnosis, and especially of the thyroid (I've dealt with thyroid issues since 1986 - but not cancer, luckily). Still, those who despise her for her horrid treatment of the victim/survivors are ripping her apart even on the 'People' comments. Karma sure does have a way of showing up when least expected.
I inadvertently omitted all of the others developing cancer around that toxic POS...Susie Wiles, his Chief of Staff (the others such as goebbels/miller are 'deputy' chiefs of staff - she's their boss). Vanessa Trump - 1st wife and mother of ALL of cokehead mcsniffles children, just diagnosed with cancer. Now Tulsi Gabbard's husband with bone cancer (I never knew she was married - did she bring the taint home with her?) Riddle me this: if the 'noise' from windmills can cause cancer, according to the orange putridity, can his stench do likewise? Asking for a friend.
It really warms my heart to see you express this joy and reverence for her, and it honestly takes the sting out of the daily horrors (as does your humor.)
Jeff, The "daily Claudia" is uplifting beyond, perhaps, your wildest dreams. Seeing her picture brings and immediate smile and calm to me. She must have been an incredible woman.
This is truly the Roy Cohn playbook. Just keep doing whatever you wanna do, just keep denying whatever they accuse you of -plow ahead with your agenda. Don’t let anything stop you. Never admit to any wrongdoing keep repeating lies so that people will believe them after a while, and the list goes on and on.
…….”the 2028 Democratic presidential candidate must run on a promise to appoint a cabinet-level Secretary of Unfucking All That Shit, to restore the White House — and all of DC — to its former dignified state”………..DID YOU HEAR THAT DEMS? UNFUCK ALL THAT SHIT! Well said Jeff!
Call me a skeptic but I don’t see positive change no matter who wins. The Democrats are too invested in the status quo. I remember when the neoliberal Obama ran promising “change”. At the time I failed to see that what he meant was more homeless people will be begging for change, meaning you and me.
Most people refuse to see this.
Most people dislike the inconvenient truth.
Most people barely understand current events never mind history.
Most people make fruit flies seem highly intelligent.
I would like to see Dems have the WH, Senate and House and see what gets done. Obama had McConnell as an anchor around his neck. So much more could have been accomplished otherwise. And probably a lot less debt hanging over the US.
Moscow Mitch and his vow to make Obama a one-term president and to block every single piece of legislation. Didn't succeed at goal #1, but then joked about being "the Grim Reaper" in Obama's second term, with his desk being where bills went to die. He's another one whose extinction I will celebrate.
No one realizes that Trump does what he wants and has a Republican house and senate so he as doing as much shit as he can, like him and he son's being immune from any and all investigations. Obama did not have that, and the Republicans hated that he won and automatically voted down everything they could. But Obama followed the law and didnt act like a dictator.
I agree totally, Mark. On another forum, I just got told how stupid I am for not backing Establishment Dems. There’s a lot of that sentiment among staunch DNC supporters. Praising Bernie or AOC is sure to bring tons of blowback.
If it’s true that’s too bad — Bernie, AOC AND Elisabeth Warren are the most level headed politicians we have. They have their fingers on exactly what’s wrong with our country.
Of course they’re labeled “radical” by people who are making gigantic immoral profits with the way things are currently arranged.
Spot on, Frank, especially that last part. I see comments every day from supposedly liberal Dems to the effect that, above all, the party needs to run M-O-R candidates, and not those fringe-y Progressives, because they only care about trans rights and DEI. This, despite the fact that Progressives actually campaign on higher minimum wages, universal healthcare, affordable housing, taxing the rich, affordable childcare, and so on. Exactly the things that Bernie, AOC, and Warren always talk about.
True Mark. But you have to start somewhere; and, on the bright side, it’s all up from here on out…
Nothing but blue skies from now on (or trump turns earth into a cinder and we start over…a murder/suicide if you will — at least we wouldn’t have to look at or listen to that stupid ugly face anymore).
I was in Las Vegas last week end and drove right past the trump hotel, so obviously I had to extend my arm out the window for a long one finger salute. A visibly angry cab driver took off after me and was yelling at me something I couldn’t hear, I assumed he was a maga asshole. He caught up with me at the next light and yelled “did you do that to me?” I rolled down my window and said of course not! I did it to trump! And pointed at the hotel. He laughed and we parted the best of friends 😁
Holy crap America's Pilonidal Cyst looks like he smells! Dude looks like 100 miles of bad road.
What do you folks out there think would be happening to Joe Biden if he was showing up to work all bruised like this (I mean, aside from the bike accidents, since we saw how people treated him in light of those).
No wonder the SuperHitlerBunker needs all those medical facilities!
They are! But mainly, pilonidal cysts are a symptom, and I liken the ingrown hairs that cause him to the 77 million+ bigots. APC is a symptom of their bigotry. He promised them ethnic and racial cleansing and he's trying to deliver.
They'll gladly vote for another vile sadopopulist that tells them their own personal bigotries are good.
I nearly lost my breakfast but had to Google "What do syphilis sores look like?" when I saw the neck lesion. Conclusion is that they look like anything and everything.
Ya, don’t do it Mr Mild. You won’t be able to get it out of your head. But Seth certainly has Donnie boy pegged — couldn’t be a better description.. other than Stephen’s perianal abscess.
Did anyone catch (from yesterday) RFKJr playing with snakes in a corner of some building. The snakes were mating and minding their own biz and this imbecile went over and picked them up and they bit him. You can hear a woman in background screaming “put them down..they are biting you.” He is smiling.
I don’t know the accurate name for this guy’s mental illness but he’s got something. He is our Secretary of Health and Human Services….correct? We are so screwed!
RatFuck Kennedy is certifiable. It is too bad that the snakes weren't venomous, but, then again, snakes don't brush their teeth, and RatFuck isn't exactly keen on hygiene, so we can all hope for a massive infection for him.
Ironic, on that show, Curb your Enthusiasm, she was portrayed as a big defender of NRDC - gave to its causes; held seminars and info on causes to defend the environment, was like a local spokesperson,etc.
I’m sure her hubby in real life would never tolerate her doing that!
George, maybe Bobby Brain Worms shared some whale brains with a garnish of baby bear brains on top. I could see that happening; although, more likely is he somehow acquired some of Hitler’s degenerated brains.
The pedo criminal elect and his couch-enjoying shillbilly already brought the WWE into what once was a Department of Education, and the criminally corrupt Cabinet is a group of incompetent sociopathic circus clown rejects. It makes perfect sense that the White House has been turned into a WWE circus.
It's unfortunate we didn't recognize "Idiocracy" as a speculative documentary before it was too late.
As Al Franken famously called the Thug Party-lies and the lying liars who tell them. And let’s be candid here, Al was royally screwed by the nanny wing of the Democratic Party. He was crucified for some saucy behavior and photos when he was in his twenties and working at SNL, where certain cast members used to openly snort coke and consume various and sundry other substances. Dems should make a pledge to each other going forward. No more circular firing squads
So tired of the lies....several Doctors have signed a letter that says based on what they can see on the surface Donny has Dementia and other circulatory issues. We will never know until he drops dead and the reason for the muliti visits is his demanita which is being monitored.....we all know even if they are telling him to quit and his is not fit he will tell them to fuck all the way off.
Regarding the WH we should just put a match to it and start over. A wrestling cage on the lawn spells low-life-ignorant loser to me.....
We'll have to file Freedom of Information requests for his medical records. I've been theorizing that since he had the first version of COVID he suffered not only lung damage but vascular and circulatory issues as well. The dementia is just a bonus. He didn't help himself with the crappy lifestyle habits either. He does look like a dead man walking.
I had a vision of combover Caligula falling asleep while he’s being slavishly praised during a televised cabinet meeting and falling right over dead. It would be too good an ending for him but I’d take it, especially if it’s soon.
If this entire administration and Texas can’t be burnt blue in the midterms and the general then I guess we oughta change our name to United States of Netanyahu’s binky.
Hey!!…..anyone else going to the White House cage fight on the 14th ? Me neither.
It’s true. No administration has ever been so transparently corrupt, dishonest or incompetent. And it is, naturally, led by the most transparently demented psychopath ever!
today in Shit That Happened While I Was Busy Writing This Shit— hmm, I got nothing. for some reason, there are no notifications on my phone. okay, gang, what am I missing?
The last dying cough of the confederacy— ahem, I mean the GOP— got their talking points sent to them last night from Tel Aviv.
Apparently the best they can come up with against Talarico is an outright and easily disprovable lie that he is…. GASP! “Vegan”
JFC… these chodes are gonna get the floor mopped with them over Paxton, and I’m laughing all the way there lol
Talarico likes to say that he's been eating barbecue since before Paxton's first indictment.
It’s literally the easiest disprovable lie ever lol
Talarico can spend his the entire reminder of his campaign visiting BBQ joints and eating with constituents.
Tel Aviv is not sending their best…
Jimmy, my man, order that pulled pork!
They've been really busy.
⬆️‼️🤣🤣🤣👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I wouldn't underestimate Texas's capacity to fuck up. I don't think it would be at all surprising to see paxton win by a lot.
That's my fear. The worse they are, the more the MAGAs like it. Texas never gets it right.
Not ‘never’. Ann Richardson.
And Molly Ivins. BTW - if you haven't seen the play "Ann" written by and starring Holland Taylor, please do. Great Performances on PBS.
Okay, "...in a long time".
And who can forget Jasmine Crockett? Talarico's a great candidate, but I would've LOVED it if Texas Democrats chose Crockett in their Senate primary.
Jasmine is very much in the picture in helping get these Democrats elected in Texas. It's FIRE (either group or Pac). I don't have the exact name yet. I too want to see her show that sharp, incisive legal mind of hers in the Senate. Mitch would have a heart attack, lol.
Me too! She's been my hero for years now, and my husband was kinda lukewarm about her UNTIL he finally watched her, heard her speak. Then he told me, "I get it now, totally understand!" 😂😂 She's a fireball with a world class mind❣️
Ann Richards, of course, but don’t forget the fabulous Barbara Jordan
One of my favorite photos of all time https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1RMdge.img?w=768&h=514&m=6&x=289&y=215&s=187&d=187
Made me smile. Two great women!
I love this photo! Thank you!
Oh, I LOVED both of them. Amazing women fighters for US.
THAT is the difference, though - the magats turned on Cornyn because frump ordered them to because of one little no vote. However, in the overall voting Texas demographic, so many are seeing their costs sky-rocket - you can't go anywhere without driving for miles and miles in their trucks AND they know Paxton is a deeply-flawed criminal who, like frump should be in prison.

LePage has actually bragged that he was Trump before Trump was Trump. Gag.
How bloody depressing is that? Sure hope that Democratic voters show up for Talarico, we need some young talented candidates.
Even if they do it might not be enough. This is Texas we're talking about. The governor's office probably has Roberts's phone number saved to contacts so they can expedite an overthrow of any election that seats a Democrat.
Sadly, we can see that Talarico's election will not be allowed to stand.
They did not only elect, but re-elected Ted Cruz.
We apparently can not get enough scammers, felons and liars in our state government.
Agreed. But it's not a bug for Texas, it's a feature. The high concentration of tiny-brained MAGAs there could def red-wave right over Talarico. The GOP will have to spend a metric shit-ton of money where it should be a BBQ-eating walk in the park, so that's fun.
won't happen....Talarico wins!
He might, but there is a ton of fraud in elections in the confederate states. Maybe Musk fixes things for Paxton.
Or the rest of the Texas lege decides to just ignore the results. They need to lay the groundwork for trump refusing to leave in 28 if he gets voted out. Why not start in texas? That's arguably where it would be easiest to do.
D'you seriously believe frump will still be around 2-1/2 full years from now? Did you LOOK at those photos or hear the blithering blathering he's doing on a daily basis? I give it no more than 6 'Weekend at Bernie' months - maybe a year, before they simply canNOT hide his drooling incompetence/mental 'slippage' (the gentlest word I could think of). We all know it's far, FAR worse.
Well, I think you're right. They have no problem cheating because all about the money.
I’m with you on the positive side. And willing to fly to Texas to join an army of canvassers knocking on doors because every vote will matter.
republiCons DO know how to cheat
Texas is already pretty fucked up, barbeque aside.
What else can you say about a state that elected, multiple times, Jesse James as state treasurer. He had nothing going for him other than his name. He was so "smart" that he held state funds in a non-interest bearing checking account.
California says "Hold my beer." According to yesterdays' reports on the Governor's race, "Two new polls show Republican Steve Hilton leading, with Democrats Tom Steyer and Xavier Becerra close in tow." We may wake up to a conservative Brit in the Governor's seat in November. KMN
Man, if only the party hadn't let the serial sexual predator position himself as the frontrunner for that seat apparently in the hopes that the women he assaulted would just stay quiet.
Absolutely NOT!
Steyer with all his $$$$$ and relentless TV ads is not likeable or credible as a representative of the People (and he's OLD). He needs to drop out and endorse/support Becerra.
Leading, yeah, within a single percentage point.
Hilton is only on top because the only other Repub-lie-and-con is the idiot "constitutional sheriff" who stole ballots in support of election fraud conspiracy and tried to sue the State of California for passing sanctuary e laws.
When the November votes are counted the GOP will really have a cow
I worry that the cheating in red states will be off the charts. They are counting on Democrats not calling foul or demanding recounts and proof that all eligible ballots were counted accurately and not flipped to the other side. What do they have to lose?
As a Texas voter (since 1990) I also won't be surprised. But, I'd phrase it another way: every rural Texan (and his cow and dog) showing up to vote and somehow surpassing those of us that live in five of the major urban areas in the country. Can't explain, but I have seen it time and time again.
Maybe they count Republican votes twice. Or switch Democratic votes to Republican votes after the fact. Hell, maybe they don't bother counting the votes at all, they just make up numbers that sound realistic and report those. Not like anyone down there who isn't already a Republican has the clout to do anything about it.
Sadly, you are right. They might just come out in droves to say a big FU to anyone Trump doesn't like.
I hope so...what in the hell is Texas thinking to condone a Paxton....he's Trump 2.0 🤦♀️
Republicans are fundamentally evil people.
Yes, in the sense that they are NAZIs. They would have no trouble with concentration camps or gas chambers. I fear when we go to these detention centers they will be empty and there will be mass graves in the back.
When I read about NAZIs I always ask myself, but who do this. Now I know.
"They would have no trouble with concentration camps or gas chambers"
They actively enjoy both. Remember when the young Republicans group chat got leaked and several of them openly talked about gas chambers and executions?
I don't remember that. How awful to feel like you can say that outloud.
Rachel Maddow reported recently on incinerators for biohazardous materials, to be placed at some of those detention centers. Why? So they can cremate remains to avoid accountability?
This is incredible. I can't believe this is happening. How are there people who are so evil? Dont they realize they generally, eventually, are discovered and their evil exposed?
it wasn't 'Texas' - it was the magats heeding the orders of their 'boss', No. 1. If you count the actual number of votes, I'd bet most voters didn't bother - it's 'only' a primary after all. How many people do WE know who don't bother themselves with primaries since they don't grasp the importance. Then the ACTUAL election and they're faced with a choice of a pig or someone decent.

After the FIVE democratic wins in Texas last night I'd say James' chances are excellent - barring musk's dogies fucking up the machines/ballots.
Maybe he can run for President?
That’s why they like him. Even they know Trump is rotting from the inside out.
Um, I believe it's pronounced "vaygan". They're at an embarrassing level of desperation and I'm here for it.
Never underestimate the stupidity of Texas citizens. They are some of the most fucking stupid people you will ever meet and there is nothing to dissuade them from truth.
Paxton calls Talarico "six genders Jimmie" (?!) because trans "jokes" are big with maga; as he also brands Talarico as not sufficiently "masculine". Republican men are obsessed with other men's "characteristics". 🙄
You take the good
You take the bad
Remove the good
And then you have
The facts of trump
The facts of trump
There are crimes that we all know about
And crimes that he will gloat about
The facts of trump
The facts of trump
While the world will never believe
All your dipshit, obvious schemes
And everyone is finding out
The facts of trump are all about you
(You shit-kazoo)
It takes a lot to fuck tons of teens
And then try to come off as clean
All of his "facts" are lies
(All of his "facts" are lies)
All of his "facts" are lies
All of his "facts" are liiiiiiiiii-yii-yii-yiiies
Love!
The farts of Trump
District court, I believe, said Alabama's gerrymander is bad.
So that's something good!
I think that was yesterday's Shit That Happened
Oh that's right! Time is a blur in these horrible, horrible, "interesting" times!
Overriding KKK Ivey
I really miss her predecessor, old Guv Squeeze Da Boobies.
The family trees in Alabama are pretzels.
Saw a pretty young lady with a drawl on YouTube who joked that forensic science doesn't work in Alabama because there are no dental records and the DNA is all the same
Yes, I just poached her witticism in an adjacent post when talking about Texas voters.
A really good one!!😎😆
Too good!!!!
The attorney general in Bentley’s affair was Luther STRANGE 🤣
https://ballotpedia.org/Robert_J._Bentley
On September 2, 2015, Rep. Allen Farley (R-McCalla) called on Attorney General Luther Strange's (R) office to look into allegations that Bentley used state funds to cover up activities related to his divorce and an alleged affair.

Bentley fired Collier from his post that same day for allegedly misusing ALEA funds; Collier claimed his dismissal was retaliation for refusing to cover up the affair.[14][15]
Recordings of the governor were published on March 23, 2016, which included comments of a sexual nature made to Mason on a telephone call in 2014. In a press conference on March 24, Bentley did not disavow the recordings but denied ever having a physical relationship with Mason. He apologized to the people of Alabama for the comments on the recording, but stated: "I have never done anything illegal [as governor]. I have never asked any member of my staff or any cabinet member to lie." He further added: "[a]t no time have I ever used the resources of my office to facilitate a relationship of any type."[16]
Well, Jeff, you’re certainly doing something useful now!
Maybe he died!
The ENDLESS WEEKEND AT BERNIES (donnies)
If only
Distinct possibility. He died, he’s infused every three months and brain rot remains the same as in life. 😄
just wait for his cabinet meeting. he'll be dozing in his chair as the members of his junk drawer try to outdo each other with praise for Dear Leader

I still remember awhile back when Talarico said that he was cisgender and Trump misheard it and thought that he said that he had six genders. Not one Republican had the balls to correct him. They all just nodded their heads and agreed with him that that was just wrong. That no one should have six genders.
Yup - they're STILL using it as a 'thing' - now it's paxton who somehow thinks that James is himself transgender. Boy is HE offbase, butTalarico actually began his 'fire back' at the crooked guy campaign tonight - on, I believe - Lawrence O'Donnell's show. I think he should call it 'whackypax' (akin to whack-a-mole). Another goodie, he had on Andrew Weissman whose new book just hit No. 1 on the NY Times BestSeller list. I inadvertently UNDER-listed those non-voters in this primary. According to the experts Paxton got 90,000 votes while there are 18 MILLION voters in Texas. Why did the rest of the slightly less than 18 million not vote for paxton? Perhaps because they're already swinging blue? OR there's going to be a fucking blue Tsunami in November. I know which one MY money is on with the energy ramping up against frump's clear uncaring about everyday Americans.
Colin Allred ALSO won in Texas - as well as a few other Democrats. Jasmine Crockett is part of a FIRE group helping turn Texas BLUE (and SO not that fugly blue frump's desecrated the reflecting pool with). If anyone missed it, he didn't even call in an 'expert', but used the same civilian with ZERO expertise to 'work on' OUR National Monument! He uses these inexpert off-the-books mooks just SO he doesn't have to pay real, qualified Experts. We MUST have it all put back as it was - even if it means creating a new 'Department of Fixing OUR Shit frump Broke'. Hey, that's how we can put crushhisnuts and the other googly-eyed drunk to work...using wheelbarrows to cart away the crap from their old 'boss'. I want to go along to pry that fake-gold tat off the walls. Now, if only those walls could speak...Sigh.
I found this!

I’ll help pry that fake gold crap off the White House walls with you Jeff! And you can tell me all about Claudia. She looks like a great person.
Pam Bondi diagnosed with thyroid cancer? I don't remotely celebrate ANYONE gettting a cancer diagnosis, and especially of the thyroid (I've dealt with thyroid issues since 1986 - but not cancer, luckily). Still, those who despise her for her horrid treatment of the victim/survivors are ripping her apart even on the 'People' comments. Karma sure does have a way of showing up when least expected.
I inadvertently omitted all of the others developing cancer around that toxic POS...Susie Wiles, his Chief of Staff (the others such as goebbels/miller are 'deputy' chiefs of staff - she's their boss). Vanessa Trump - 1st wife and mother of ALL of cokehead mcsniffles children, just diagnosed with cancer. Now Tulsi Gabbard's husband with bone cancer (I never knew she was married - did she bring the taint home with her?) Riddle me this: if the 'noise' from windmills can cause cancer, according to the orange putridity, can his stench do likewise? Asking for a friend.

Here’s the stupid link to “Are you aware of this shit?”
You were too early to write about today's Cabinet of Sycophants meeting. **Maybe** another new low. I say **maybe** because there is always tomorrow.
Are you aware of this shit?
It’s hard to stay rage-filled after those lovely photographs of the lovely Claudia.
that's a feature, not a bug! (oh, and thanks)
Keep ‘em coming. Life isn’t only about who we’re mad at. It’s about who we love. And you set the bar high in both counts.
We all second that Neal!
It really warms my heart to see you express this joy and reverence for her, and it honestly takes the sting out of the daily horrors (as does your humor.)
Couldn’t have said it better Seth!
My wife gives me the same look when I take pics of her doing daily stuff
Just noticed your shirt, H12thDoc...LOVE IT!!!
Found that image on the Net. Not me or my shirt. Props to whoever that is
@HI2thDoc-me too! GREAT one!
Ditto Vivian! Yes Doc, awesome shirt!
Right?
That was my teacher look…. My young granddaughters ask me to give them “the look”. Hysterical
Jeff, The "daily Claudia" is uplifting beyond, perhaps, your wildest dreams. Seeing her picture brings and immediate smile and calm to me. She must have been an incredible woman.
Exactly. I look forward to it every day now!
Totally agree. In the midst of this madness, it’s great to see what love looks like. I know how much you miss her. Please keep sharing your memories.
👍!
It absolutely is heartwarming
Oh, I can do it!!! I can stay rage filled - as a matter of fact, I don’t know how to get rid of this rage. 😤
I’m trying.
This is truly the Roy Cohn playbook. Just keep doing whatever you wanna do, just keep denying whatever they accuse you of -plow ahead with your agenda. Don’t let anything stop you. Never admit to any wrongdoing keep repeating lies so that people will believe them after a while, and the list goes on and on.
The one with Claudia reading the newspaper and Jeff’s psychologizing gave me a big smile🙂
Didja notice it was Valentines Day?
Same.
Agreed!!
…….”the 2028 Democratic presidential candidate must run on a promise to appoint a cabinet-level Secretary of Unfucking All That Shit, to restore the White House — and all of DC — to its former dignified state”………..DID YOU HEAR THAT DEMS? UNFUCK ALL THAT SHIT! Well said Jeff!
Call me a skeptic but I don’t see positive change no matter who wins. The Democrats are too invested in the status quo. I remember when the neoliberal Obama ran promising “change”. At the time I failed to see that what he meant was more homeless people will be begging for change, meaning you and me.
Most people refuse to see this.
Most people dislike the inconvenient truth.
Most people barely understand current events never mind history.
Most people make fruit flies seem highly intelligent.
I would like to see Dems have the WH, Senate and House and see what gets done. Obama had McConnell as an anchor around his neck. So much more could have been accomplished otherwise. And probably a lot less debt hanging over the US.
Moscow Mitch and his vow to make Obama a one-term president and to block every single piece of legislation. Didn't succeed at goal #1, but then joked about being "the Grim Reaper" in Obama's second term, with his desk being where bills went to die. He's another one whose extinction I will celebrate.
Amen Joyce. Moscow Mitch is a bona fide POS!
No one realizes that Trump does what he wants and has a Republican house and senate so he as doing as much shit as he can, like him and he son's being immune from any and all investigations. Obama did not have that, and the Republicans hated that he won and automatically voted down everything they could. But Obama followed the law and didnt act like a dictator.
Wait--wut? I'm not homeless; I'm sorry if you are and that it's Obama's fault.....
I guess most people are lucky to have piercing intelligences such as yourself available to explain it for us.
I agree totally, Mark. On another forum, I just got told how stupid I am for not backing Establishment Dems. There’s a lot of that sentiment among staunch DNC supporters. Praising Bernie or AOC is sure to bring tons of blowback.
If it’s true that’s too bad — Bernie, AOC AND Elisabeth Warren are the most level headed politicians we have. They have their fingers on exactly what’s wrong with our country.
Of course they’re labeled “radical” by people who are making gigantic immoral profits with the way things are currently arranged.
Spot on, Frank, especially that last part. I see comments every day from supposedly liberal Dems to the effect that, above all, the party needs to run M-O-R candidates, and not those fringe-y Progressives, because they only care about trans rights and DEI. This, despite the fact that Progressives actually campaign on higher minimum wages, universal healthcare, affordable housing, taxing the rich, affordable childcare, and so on. Exactly the things that Bernie, AOC, and Warren always talk about.
True Mark. But you have to start somewhere; and, on the bright side, it’s all up from here on out…
Nothing but blue skies from now on (or trump turns earth into a cinder and we start over…a murder/suicide if you will — at least we wouldn’t have to look at or listen to that stupid ugly face anymore).
I was in Las Vegas last week end and drove right past the trump hotel, so obviously I had to extend my arm out the window for a long one finger salute. A visibly angry cab driver took off after me and was yelling at me something I couldn’t hear, I assumed he was a maga asshole. He caught up with me at the next light and yelled “did you do that to me?” I rolled down my window and said of course not! I did it to trump! And pointed at the hotel. He laughed and we parted the best of friends 😁
So drumpf may not be a uniter, but hatred of him sure is
He unites everyone against him
Touché Doc!
very funny
Gotta watch who you flip the bird at!
I volunteer to pry gold shit off the White House walls. And to call Fox reporters Nazi bitches.
He's always been a sicky
A predator and morally tricky
I know sure as heck
That thing on his neck
Fer sure ain't a Melanie hickey
Syphilis
Hmm. The bacterium responsible would be like, seriously? Ain't it bad enough that we had to infect Capone? Even Treponema pallidum has standards
Mutated BrainHerpes.
Love!
I think someone said it was tied to cancer treatment
Vampire bite
👏👏👏👏
But it sure is icky!
👍. You’re getting better with age Doc!
Holy crap America's Pilonidal Cyst looks like he smells! Dude looks like 100 miles of bad road.
What do you folks out there think would be happening to Joe Biden if he was showing up to work all bruised like this (I mean, aside from the bike accidents, since we saw how people treated him in light of those).
No wonder the SuperHitlerBunker needs all those medical facilities!
Pilonidal cyst. 😆😆
Good one. 🤣🤣
Seth has been running with that for a while. And it's always right on!
Perianal abscesses are a whole lot stinkier!
They are! But mainly, pilonidal cysts are a symptom, and I liken the ingrown hairs that cause him to the 77 million+ bigots. APC is a symptom of their bigotry. He promised them ethnic and racial cleansing and he's trying to deliver.
They'll gladly vote for another vile sadopopulist that tells them their own personal bigotries are good.
True. Very true.
Stop it! Drinking coffee. Not ok
I’m afraid what I’ll find out if I Google Pilonidal Cyst.
I nearly lost my breakfast but had to Google "What do syphilis sores look like?" when I saw the neck lesion. Conclusion is that they look like anything and everything.
Thank you for your service .
Syphilis was called the ‘great imitator’. The study of the many skin manifestations was the beginning of the specialty of Dermatology.
Ya, don’t do it Mr Mild. You won’t be able to get it out of your head. But Seth certainly has Donnie boy pegged — couldn’t be a better description.. other than Stephen’s perianal abscess.
Did everyone see his shitposts on his crap app?
First, he posted an identical — word for word — post (about Iran) as he did 8 days ago.
Second, as Uncle Jeff points out, he is now calling it his “6 month physical.” 6 month physical…
Now I’m no doctor, but when I need to see the doctor about something every few months vs once a year, well that ain’t good.
Some of us are totally okay that it "ain't good." If you know what I mean ...;-)
Did anyone catch (from yesterday) RFKJr playing with snakes in a corner of some building. The snakes were mating and minding their own biz and this imbecile went over and picked them up and they bit him. You can hear a woman in background screaming “put them down..they are biting you.” He is smiling.
I don’t know the accurate name for this guy’s mental illness but he’s got something. He is our Secretary of Health and Human Services….correct? We are so screwed!
Too bad they weren’t black mambas ala kill Bill
OK, so maybe those are snake bites on Trump's neck. They had a taste and died.
RatFuck Kennedy is certifiable. It is too bad that the snakes weren't venomous, but, then again, snakes don't brush their teeth, and RatFuck isn't exactly keen on hygiene, so we can all hope for a massive infection for him.
I think the woman screaming was his wife.
That's a whole 'nother thing to unpack. Why, Cheryl? Why?
Her "career" was over and she needed a place to lay her head that was not under a bridge. Women often marry to protect themselves.
I feel sorry for her if she felt that desperation
Ironic, on that show, Curb your Enthusiasm, she was portrayed as a big defender of NRDC - gave to its causes; held seminars and info on causes to defend the environment, was like a local spokesperson,etc.
I’m sure her hubby in real life would never tolerate her doing that!
Um, actually, RFK Jr. used to support NRDC. In fact, he was its legal counsel for years, and filed suits against polluters.
Now, he's defending the very companies that make dangerous chemicals (e.g., glyphosate) that he used to sue over.
lol Doc!
I think so too.
I call it the KURU Effect
Looks like it. Who's brain did he eat?
Who knows? I know for sure a worm is having a feast in his!
George, maybe Bobby Brain Worms shared some whale brains with a garnish of baby bear brains on top. I could see that happening; although, more likely is he somehow acquired some of Hitler’s degenerated brains.
Mmmmm. Tasty.
The screaming woman was his wife, just FYI.
He’s another Narcissist!!!
When you hire a moron for a president you get moron cabinet members and advisors for desert
Thank you Jeff.
The pedo criminal elect and his couch-enjoying shillbilly already brought the WWE into what once was a Department of Education, and the criminally corrupt Cabinet is a group of incompetent sociopathic circus clown rejects. It makes perfect sense that the White House has been turned into a WWE circus.
It's unfortunate we didn't recognize "Idiocracy" as a speculative documentary before it was too late.
It brings up in me such rage
That my tax dollars are going to that cage
For lawn UFC
More regime buffoonery
Another embarrassment on the world stage
We need to start a “Rage Against the Cage” movement. It works for criminally corrupt presidents with moronic ideas and for the disbanding of ICE.
👏👏👏👏
Right? We’re living in the script.
True. We should at least get SAG-AFTRA membership.
So well said George
As Al Franken famously called the Thug Party-lies and the lying liars who tell them. And let’s be candid here, Al was royally screwed by the nanny wing of the Democratic Party. He was crucified for some saucy behavior and photos when he was in his twenties and working at SNL, where certain cast members used to openly snort coke and consume various and sundry other substances. Dems should make a pledge to each other going forward. No more circular firing squads
So tired of the lies....several Doctors have signed a letter that says based on what they can see on the surface Donny has Dementia and other circulatory issues. We will never know until he drops dead and the reason for the muliti visits is his demanita which is being monitored.....we all know even if they are telling him to quit and his is not fit he will tell them to fuck all the way off.
Regarding the WH we should just put a match to it and start over. A wrestling cage on the lawn spells low-life-ignorant loser to me.....
We'll have to file Freedom of Information requests for his medical records. I've been theorizing that since he had the first version of COVID he suffered not only lung damage but vascular and circulatory issues as well. The dementia is just a bonus. He didn't help himself with the crappy lifestyle habits either. He does look like a dead man walking.
I had a vision of combover Caligula falling asleep while he’s being slavishly praised during a televised cabinet meeting and falling right over dead. It would be too good an ending for him but I’d take it, especially if it’s soon.
Agree!
If this entire administration and Texas can’t be burnt blue in the midterms and the general then I guess we oughta change our name to United States of Netanyahu’s binky.
Hey!!…..anyone else going to the White House cage fight on the 14th ? Me neither.
Hey Iran ?…. FYI

I'll go to the fight if they make Trump compete
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
A box truck packed in a lonely northern Virginia industrial park, roof rolls back, Shaheds away.
Really, we have to do major repairs on the White House anyway 🤷♀️
It’s true. No administration has ever been so transparently corrupt, dishonest or incompetent. And it is, naturally, led by the most transparently demented psychopath ever!
Fox News is actually getting worse and actively destroying our country.
They have been doing that for years.

I didn’t realize Murdoch owns the NY POST - that explains everything that comes from that fecal yellow rag!
Funny how powerless we are re: regulating. Anything.
The stupidity of this regime is stunning
The diametrical opposite of cunning
They do not inspire us
Against the next virus
Pandemics take the fun out of punning
👏👏👏👏
