HOW-ever...one is never an 'ex' after being an Olympian, no? 'Former' Olympian (tracking better or not) would be correct. THEY would call him 'ex' to minimize his accomplishments (as they do everything not magat). Why not simply call him Olympian Hearn? It still tracks AND I agree - this one is terrific as so many have been). :)
I find it absolutely hysterical that SHIT-Baby Rump is having these bodily issues BECAUSE of his extreme use of Viagra and Cialis in combo!!! If IVANKA had castrated him when she could, none of us would be here today! RUMP is Now a huge DUMP AND I THINK IT'S FUCKING FUNNY!
Yes, they are, Mike, and I'm proud to support them both through subscriptions, as I support our dear Uncle Jeff. Those of us who are fortunate enough to be able to do that really need to do so.
JFC. Listening to someone clearly speaking Trump’s words (love the sniffs and slurps too 😂) makes them even crazier. The look on her face at the end is a perfect summation.
Off topic, but I think every mainstream journalist in the United States needs to sit at the feet of that Danish reporter and learn how it is supposed to be done
More importantly, we’ve discovered that DOJ attorneys have misrepresented the facts and law, and engaged in violations of professional ethics and DOJ guidelines.
See the Broadview 6 case, which involves all kinds of prosecutorial misconduct.
Since Texas courts actually sentenced protesters outside one of the ICE torture rape centres to hard time in jail - one up to 10 years I believe - I am beginning to worry especially as they actually got a grand jury indict him in the first place. I know different state etc buttttt the amurikan justice system is crumbling
Want to correct your typo because this is important: it was 100 years, not 10. And the minimum sentence was 30 years. Some of the defendants weren’t even at the scene.
Doug Burgum and others say they have “photographic evidence”, but you just know that’s bullshit. They’d have produced it by now, even if it was AI slop. I saw a post where someone drew stick figures on the pool. That’s the “evidence” 😂
Not to mention that the Trump administration has said that the lining was “indestructible” and would last for 100 years. And also that the no-bid contractor performed the work “perfectly.”
So if we’re supposed to believe Trump and Burgum (HA!), then how could one guy pull the liner from the pool with just his bare hands?!
We need a nationally televised trial for Hearn. It might take people away from America's Got Talent, but it would perhaps show them that America's got a bad case of fascism, too.
Mitch McConnell is dead or almost dead, trump is close to death but international and domestic crimes are allowed to be committed! Amazing and frightening at the same time.
The delusions run so deep in the Republican-Seditionist-Party that they think they are admired for their stupidity.
I'm kind of confused about the benefit to the GOP of not having a special election, other than the cost. Maybe there's something I'm missing or maybe it IS the cost.
A. if Massie can't win his district, he can't win the state. So that idea is a fantasy, even if you do recognize that for the most part, Massie is just your typical Republican.
B. the field is already set for November to replace McConnell who isn't running for reelection. Why wouldn't those same two candidates (Andy Barr & Charles Booker) just enter the special election and have the benefit of year-long campaigns already behind them? All a special election would do is give one of them the benefit of incumbency. But if Barr won the special election, as is likely, he'd be in office early, an advantage for the Kentucky GOP.
I think because they're afraid a Democrat would win the election and create a "leadership vacuum" in the Senate. They have such a narrow margin now, they'll hold onto it until they are absolutely forced to give it up, and keeping McConnell "alive" and competent enough to hold a 20 minute phone conversation holds onto that seat.
They're probably going to lose it in November, but why give it up sooner rather than later?
At best, Massie would be elected in the special election, then resign from the House and become Senator for maybe a few months until January 3, 2027, at which point whichever candidate on the November ballot will replace him.
Also, having Massie in won’t gum up the works any more than Dead Mitch McConnell in a hospital bed would.
Isn't that exactly what Beshear *can't* do? Didn't they set it up in KY that vacancies cannot be filled by gubernatorial appointments but must be filled by special elections?
I'm going to set a timer on that. That was the length of his conversation with Glitch Mitch. Every morning I wake up and scan the headlines hoping that Donnie's gone from the land of the living. Every morning my hopes are dashed.
I watched an interesting video about why he will probably live longer than we want. Basically said that really bad people with a lot of money live longer because good healthcare and no stress. No stress because they don't give a fuck about anything except themselves. It was convincing but depressing. We can only hope his frontotemporal dementia will override those benefits.
All the money and 1st class health-care can't fix a failing heart or shrinking brain. He's circling the drain but I want the big flush now. McConnell is another story.
I don’t drink and I’m older than Donnie and may have more stuff wrong with me (physically!), but even against those odds a little bottle of prosecco waits in my fridge - just in case. Ya never know.
We start our day sayin “Is the Orange c*^ksuc*er dead yet?”
You know how we’ll know? We won’t need to check our phones because no matter the time of day there will be immediate & collective celebrating in the streets!
I read somewhere that Mitchie and his band of sneaky cretins have created legislative conditions that prohibit Beshear from acting independently… don’t recall the details but worth researching before we assume.
IIRC, Beshear is restricted by legislation to choose from 3 names provided to him by the legislature. Beshear has said that law is unconstitutional and he can appoint who he wants.
Delusions, or orchestrated sleight of hands to continue to bedazzle the hoi polloi magat mainstream? The millionaire/billionaire class know all of this is bullshit that keeps their money growing. It’s always about the money, and nothing else.
This is the stage of dementia when he can no longer control his impulses and says anything that he's thinking. He didn't even catch the fact that he said Japan instead of Iran. He calls other nations scum, sick, vicious, violent and cuckoo as if it's acceptable for a leader to say these things at an international forum. He's the one that's scum, sick, vicious, violent and cuckoo and we all know it. And the rest of the world does too.
Just like leaving Mitch on life support the Republicans are using the orange asshat to become zillionaires. It’s going to be a long fall for these assholes and I can’t wait to see them all hit rock bottom.
That a president can get away with saying these things is outrageous and mind boggling. Of course it's all projection! The 64,000 dollar question as always is why he isn't being called out by the media for saying these things and how can his corrupt party think this is OK and continue to enable him???
"We had one hundred and eleven missiles shot by the Islamic Republic of Japan. I went there one time but I hate taking off my, I have great shoes, everyone tells me, those are great, sir. So they fired these and then they said, well now we want to make a deal. Please sir, we ate too much raw fish, which they're crazy, why would anyone eat that? . . . "
Commies and Japan? Isn't it weird watching what's left of Donny's brain revert to the mid-20th century - Red scare and yellow peril. Republicans are the only ones still pretending that Fuckwit has a functioning prefrontal cortex.
It’s so embarrassing to watch this happen and those around him just pretend it’s normal. Have they no conscience??? Don’t they lose sleep over their complicity and enabling? I guess their positions depend on continuing this goddam charade.
After the NATO mess yesterday I am convinced that US Republicans are not the only ones giving Prez Shitforbrains a free pas every time he spews brimstone out of his face. Several attendees also just overlooked his hogwash. It seems to be pretty universal; the world is sane-washing him and that's the scary part.
I don't believe that's what they're doing. With the possible exception of Rutte they seem to be merely humoring him then moving ahead without him. Under Trump the US is no longer the "indispensible nation."
This went well into the 50’s and 60’s…and let’s not forget the shit gen x went through with the “commies” and the cold war. A lot of gen x are WORSE than boomers too!
The "Yellow Peril"? No, it did not. None of us knew anything about this. Sure, we studied Pearl Harbor in school but demonizing Chicago's big population of Japanese was not on the radar. And the "red scare" was effectively over by 1960.
No, the blacklisting may have ended but the Red Scare very much went on. I remember getting a Scholastic book in sixth grade around '66-'67 warning about the perils of Communism.
Thank you Daniel—and I was born in the late 60’s—“commies” were VERY MUCH still a thing, does no one remember the Reagan years here? “Red Dawn,” anyone??
Yep. You’re right. My elementary school was in the flight line of a SAC Air Force base and we had duck snd cover drills all the time. Had to take home a permission slip so parents could give the okay to dismiss us from school in case the Russians decided to nuke the base. The country was terrified of Commies for decades.
It's fun to see the radical right's worst nightmare coming true as Mayor Mamdani actually improves people's lives, thereby starkly illustrating how rethuglican propaganda is just rage bait and actually harms anyone below the Epstein class.
"an amoral shit-kazoo, unconstrained by the bounds of decency, with unlimited power and an obsession with grievances and score-settling" should be his epitaph. Good job, Jeff
The Olympian-with-hand-in-reflecting pool-crime will be thrown out after the accused is bled dry of money and taken through emotional hell all for the entertainment of psychopathic fucktards in our White House!
There was a gofundme taken up for him which so hopefully that will defray a good part of his expenses. Nevertheless the frivolity and expense of these suits is staggering.
"Trump’s power comes from his willingness to violate all the norms, rules, and laws about how American presidents are supposed to act — to do anything that helps him accumulate more wealth, power, and glory, and wreak vengeance on anyone who has tried to get in the way."
No. That's not where he gets his power; he gets it from the Supreme Court Corrupt Six and Congressional Republicans who refused, and still refuse, to stop him. Like everything else in that miserable f'er's life, he's been GIVEN it.
I’ve said basically the same thing all along. He’s the kind of person that the project 2025 fuckfaces wanted. Someone who’s willing to break the law and the rules and somehow get away with it 🤦♀️. But my god a performance for the ages at the NATO summit 🤦♀️
Just read Reich's piece. He's eloquent as always. But Johan, a commenter on Reich's post, made this point about a thief with no barriers or "locks"
"The first-mover advantage only pays out if the community declines to punish, the thief’s edge vanishes the moment doors get locked...The problem was never the thief. It was the town that decided locks were rude."
If the majority of the American population could lock their doors, we would. We voted to give the locks to representative government that has failed the people, the rule of law, and the Constitution. Those were our locks.
I will because you suggested it, but I don't see how we can blame Trump for being who we've known for decades, without including the fact that McConnell lobbied Congress twice to acquit, and for the John Roberts court's decision to bar anyone from prosecuting a sitting POTUS for crimes committed while in office, and the current House Republicans for completely abdicating their power to Trump.
Reminds me of a saying by Solzhenitsyn: "We wish that the line between good and evil ran between good people and bad people, so that if we just eliminated the bad people all would be well. But the line between good and evil runs through each of our hearts."
If you haven’t watched Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Unhappiness with Larry David……on HBO the second episode is HILARIOUS…all about trump in last clip…..and so true!!!
Thanks, Hamilton. You are 100% correct. None of this has to happen. Not one single shitty-ass thing that Trump has done was inevitable. We need to hang Trump on the GOP forever and ever.
I vacillate between wanting to laugh, cry and scream at just how insane all of this is. The fact that a third of the voting public thought this was a grand idea and still do because somehow tearing the world into shreds owns the libs is frightening. The majority is being ruled (not governed) by an insane minority. I really hope that we can get rid of the electoral college. I would love a society where manners and decorum matter. One in which stupidity and cruelty aren't flexes.
Seeing the four stooges of the apocalypse standing there thinking they're all that. Perfect description of soybean scott.
"this is the guy who quite famously said he could have negotiated an end to the Civil War. how? by calling Jefferson Davis a stupid poopy-head?"
Who are we kidding? trump would be negotiating for the Confederacy.
Rick Wilson had a somewhat different take on the Europeans behavior at the NATO summit, arguing that they treated him like the drunken conspiracist uncle at Thanksgiving. Nod along and humor him because arguing is pointless, while any substantive discussions occur on the side away from his presence. The Euros are moving on without us.
"They’re scum. they’re sick people. they’re led by sick people, and, and they’re vicious violent people … as far as I’m concerned it’s over … there’s something wrong with them. they’re cuckoo.”
With Trump every accusation is really a confession.
There was a great cartoon that basically had the Iranian government saying about us the exact same things that our government says about them and it fits perfectly.
today in Shit That Happened While I Was Busy Writing This Shit—
former Olympian David Hearn just pleaded 'not guilty' to Grand Theft Paint Chips
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2026/jul/09/donald-trump-graham-platner-mitch-mcconnell-iran-midterms-latest-news-updates?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other
how fast do you think this will be thrown out of court?
MAGA hitwoman Pirro
Noted drunk legal zero
Has managed to turn
Thrice Olympian Hearn
Into a resistance hero
Some of your best work.
"Ex-Olympian Hearn" scans better.
Wordsworth: "I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden dandelions. . ."
Ed: "Daffodils" scans better.
Wdswth "Thanks. I'll edit it."
Ha ha! Love it.
I will edit. Thanks.

Sounds good to me.
HOW-ever...one is never an 'ex' after being an Olympian, no? 'Former' Olympian (tracking better or not) would be correct. THEY would call him 'ex' to minimize his accomplishments (as they do everything not magat). Why not simply call him Olympian Hearn? It still tracks AND I agree - this one is terrific as so many have been). :)
Well, at least he's still alive.
Some of the anti-ICE heroes aren't. . .
Although I'm sure trump would like to impose the death penalty for revealing what a scam the "renovation" was.
👍🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Perfect
Mah-velous!
I find it absolutely hysterical that SHIT-Baby Rump is having these bodily issues BECAUSE of his extreme use of Viagra and Cialis in combo!!! If IVANKA had castrated him when she could, none of us would be here today! RUMP is Now a huge DUMP AND I THINK IT'S FUCKING FUNNY!
It’s been said that his incontinence is due to years of Adderall use
"Grand Theft Paint Chips".....the first laugh I've had today.
Likewise. Really, what would any of us do without our Uncle Jeff?
Truth!! I depend on Jeff or OO for my daily dose. Plus Andy Borowitz. #resistance
I don’t even want to think about that!!!! 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
Exactly what the jury will do when the prosecutor holds up Exhibit A.
His lawyer is Norm Eisen? He's in good hands.
Norm and Marc Elias are the gods of free and fair elections.
Yes, they are, Mike, and I'm proud to support them both through subscriptions, as I support our dear Uncle Jeff. Those of us who are fortunate enough to be able to do that really need to do so.
Thank. you for this.
It helps my feeling of dying inside because I cannot afford to support ALL the great folks I follow - even with a paltry sum - it adds up!
Best I can do is like and repost as often as possible. Which I do DO - with gleeful abandon ; )
That and other volunteer-ish things like take on Election Judging in my county (every cycle since the pandemic).
I am COUNTING on the likes of Marc Elias and those supporting him & all like him - as I go about that business come November! ; P
And they have a steep mountain of work to do before the midterms. The War Against Voting is winning at the moment.
Actually, the war against voting is losing big time, except in the propaganda war of convincing people it's winning big time.
I recommend reading today's post from George Polisner, Leadership Matters. In it he lays out the history, the fight, and where we stand right now.
Katie Phang as well. Let's remember the women!
LOL!!!!
Faster than Trump getting through one of his insane ramblings.

Holy shit, that was brilliant. EVERYONE NEEDS TO LISTEN TO P123Sunny’s LINK ABOVE!! It will blow your mind.
JFC. Listening to someone clearly speaking Trump’s words (love the sniffs and slurps too 😂) makes them even crazier. The look on her face at the end is a perfect summation.
But the msm will ‘summarize’ for him: ‘rump takes nato to task!’ Or ‘Dems clash with rump over ….blah blah blah’
WAY more than a thumb on the scale imo :/
It’ll all be in my book : ‘FAILING UP (all the way to the TOP, TWICE!) FOR DUMMIES’‼️
Thank you for this
It’ll be thrown out faster than I can lob a Subway 6” Italian Sub at a ICE officer.
That would be Assault With A Deli Weapon!
I'll see myself out.
Thought you were losing yr fastball - just sayin
Off topic, but I think every mainstream journalist in the United States needs to sit at the feet of that Danish reporter and learn how it is supposed to be done
This
I'm a bit concerned that this made it past a grand jury. Seems like it never should have gotten to trial.
We've found that DOJ lawyers don't tell grand juries the whole truth.
More importantly, we’ve discovered that DOJ attorneys have misrepresented the facts and law, and engaged in violations of professional ethics and DOJ guidelines.
See the Broadview 6 case, which involves all kinds of prosecutorial misconduct.
That must be the case.
Faster than Pirro can get through a box of wine, which is fast.
Since Texas courts actually sentenced protesters outside one of the ICE torture rape centres to hard time in jail - one up to 10 years I believe - I am beginning to worry especially as they actually got a grand jury indict him in the first place. I know different state etc buttttt the amurikan justice system is crumbling
Terrifying
Crumbling. Nah, it's done. I got over 'beginning to worry' long ago.
Want to correct your typo because this is important: it was 100 years, not 10. And the minimum sentence was 30 years. Some of the defendants weren’t even at the scene.
I bet someone lied to the grand jury!
They musta. How are they gonna prove he peeled the paint? Do they have video?
Doug Burgum and others say they have “photographic evidence”, but you just know that’s bullshit. They’d have produced it by now, even if it was AI slop. I saw a post where someone drew stick figures on the pool. That’s the “evidence” 😂
Are they going to say he caused a 250-foot gash too?
And I would LOVE to see some video of some dork drawing a boxcutter along the liner and nobody even noticing.
Not to mention that the Trump administration has said that the lining was “indestructible” and would last for 100 years. And also that the no-bid contractor performed the work “perfectly.”
So if we’re supposed to believe Trump and Burgum (HA!), then how could one guy pull the liner from the pool with just his bare hands?!
I’m not gonna take that bet, Seth.
We need a nationally televised trial for Hearn. It might take people away from America's Got Talent, but it would perhaps show them that America's got a bad case of fascism, too.
Federal court, so no cameras allowed.
I’m a retired lawyer, and frankly, I wouldn’t mind a rule change.
...probably not as fast as getting pardoned for spreading shit all over the Capital walls.
Faster than Mamdani’s bus goals.
I do hope that it will be thrown out of court quickly, but do wonder if it will, because they have now charged three more with this "crime"!
Fantastic funny article today Jeff-TY. Nothing like a good ol’ belly laugh. Lovely photos. Keep well
People who are unjustly accused should be able to counter sue to cover their expenses, at the very least.
Mitch McConnell is dead or almost dead, trump is close to death but international and domestic crimes are allowed to be committed! Amazing and frightening at the same time.
The delusions run so deep in the Republican-Seditionist-Party that they think they are admired for their stupidity.
They'll declare him dead on or shortly after August 3rd.
exactly
He's not dead, he's pining for the Antebellum Era.
Because he was there
😆😆😆
Ok, that one had me laugh out loud so explosively, I sent my cat under the bed for shelter!
Monty Python's parrot sketch. Pinin' for the fjords.
https://youtu.be/4vuW6tQ0218?t=2
Excellent! Love me a Python reference!
Maybe he just pretended to collapse for dramatic effect onto Lindsey Graham’s fainting couch
Can we bang his head on a counter? Just to make sure?
Yes, but I get to hold his neck.
😂😂
So until then, would you say he's insincerely dead?
Until then, he should be referred to as Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Schrodinger).
Lol, I was just thinking saying that earlier. Mitch in the hospital is the cat in the box.
I'm kind of confused about the benefit to the GOP of not having a special election, other than the cost. Maybe there's something I'm missing or maybe it IS the cost.
A. if Massie can't win his district, he can't win the state. So that idea is a fantasy, even if you do recognize that for the most part, Massie is just your typical Republican.

It’s Kentucky. I don’t think they’re afraid a Democrat would win the special election.
At best, Massie would be elected in the special election, then resign from the House and become Senator for maybe a few months until January 3, 2027, at which point whichever candidate on the November ballot will replace him.
Also, having Massie in won’t gum up the works any more than Dead Mitch McConnell in a hospital bed would.
Beshear needs to declare him dead then say here's my replacement. Try to stop me MAGA.
Isn't that exactly what Beshear *can't* do? Didn't they set it up in KY that vacancies cannot be filled by gubernatorial appointments but must be filled by special elections?
He’ll be really dead in 20 minutes. 😂
I'm going to set a timer on that. That was the length of his conversation with Glitch Mitch. Every morning I wake up and scan the headlines hoping that Donnie's gone from the land of the living. Every morning my hopes are dashed.

Someday, in the not so distant future, it will be time to break out the champagne.
I don’t drink and I’m older than Donnie and may have more stuff wrong with me (physically!), but even against those odds a little bottle of prosecco waits in my fridge - just in case. Ya never know.
I know Mingo- we do the same thing hoping it’s happened and then immediately say an F bomb‼️
It is my daily prayer!
We start our day sayin “Is the Orange c*^ksuc*er dead yet?”
You know how we’ll know? We won’t need to check our phones because no matter the time of day there will be immediate & collective celebrating in the streets!
Counting the days!!!
…really most sincerely dead!
😂😂😂
Or two weeks.
He's an ex Mitch. He's run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible.
In 2 weeks according to Orange Hitler
My money's on Gov. Beshear making a move if there's no response from Yertle's office to his letter.
Fingers crossed!!
I read somewhere that Mitchie and his band of sneaky cretins have created legislative conditions that prohibit Beshear from acting independently… don’t recall the details but worth researching before we assume.
IIRC, Beshear is restricted by legislation to choose from 3 names provided to him by the legislature. Beshear has said that law is unconstitutional and he can appoint who he wants.
Thank you for filling in the detail!
Delusions, or orchestrated sleight of hands to continue to bedazzle the hoi polloi magat mainstream? The millionaire/billionaire class know all of this is bullshit that keeps their money growing. It’s always about the money, and nothing else.
McConnell is an ex-turtle!
Tortoise Mortis
Rigor Tortoise, someone called it.
I ugly laughed.
Projectile nasal coffee.
Pining for the fjords!
Nah. They just don't give a shit. They hate us all.
That's 20 minutes of their lives they won't be getting back anytime soon.
I need new glasses: I read that as the Republican Sediment Party. (That too)
😂 Sediment Party does work!
Mitch is not dead. He’s blinking
I think they think they can just get away with everything, just like the Nazis. They just forgot to read to the end of that story.
The scene from the Holy Grail comes to mind. “I don’t want to go on the cart, I think I’ll go for a walk, I feel HAPPY”…
I just wish they’d “BRING OUT YOUR DEAD!!
Google has not seen nor heard from Mitch either!
“Jefferson Davis a stupid poopy head”😂😂. Nothing is left to do but laugh because you just can’t make this up.
Japan? What was he thinking?
Haughty Soybean Scott…I’d love one chance to smack that smirk off his face. A reprehensible man. 🙄
Claudia grabbed a shot of you that time! Such a pretty lady! Thank you for sharing these!
the stupid poopy head made me laugh out loud.
Thinking?
Oh right. Silly me. 🤣
Iran? Sounds like….(let me think)….Japan?? Mmmmm, no. Sorry
Both end in AN!

Well duh!🤷♀️
No harm, no foul.
Fixed… I haven’t had enough coffee yet!
This is the stage of dementia when he can no longer control his impulses and says anything that he's thinking. He didn't even catch the fact that he said Japan instead of Iran. He calls other nations scum, sick, vicious, violent and cuckoo as if it's acceptable for a leader to say these things at an international forum. He's the one that's scum, sick, vicious, violent and cuckoo and we all know it. And the rest of the world does too.

Just like leaving Mitch on life support the Republicans are using the orange asshat to become zillionaires. It’s going to be a long fall for these assholes and I can’t wait to see them all hit rock bottom.

Commies and Japan? Isn't it weird watching what's left of Donny's brain revert to the mid-20th century - Red scare and yellow peril. Republicans are the only ones still pretending that Fuckwit has a functioning prefrontal cortex.
If that was a Biden gaffe it would be in giant-ass font taking up the entire area above the fold in every newspaper in the country.
I'm so sick of this shit.
Exactly. And it would go on for weeks while they demanded he resign.
It’s so embarrassing to watch this happen and those around him just pretend it’s normal. Have they no conscience??? Don’t they lose sleep over their complicity and enabling? I guess their positions depend on continuing this goddam charade.

The "Yellow Peril"? No, it did not. None of us knew anything about this. Sure, we studied Pearl Harbor in school but demonizing Chicago's big population of Japanese was not on the radar. And the "red scare" was effectively over by 1960.
No, the blacklisting may have ended but the Red Scare very much went on. I remember getting a Scholastic book in sixth grade around '66-'67 warning about the perils of Communism.
Thank you Daniel—and I was born in the late 60’s—“commies” were VERY MUCH still a thing, does no one remember the Reagan years here? “Red Dawn,” anyone??
Yep. You’re right. My elementary school was in the flight line of a SAC Air Force base and we had duck snd cover drills all the time. Had to take home a permission slip so parents could give the okay to dismiss us from school in case the Russians decided to nuke the base. The country was terrified of Commies for decades.
It's fun to see the radical right's worst nightmare coming true as Mayor Mamdani actually improves people's lives, thereby starkly illustrating how rethuglican propaganda is just rage bait and actually harms anyone below the Epstein class.
Mamdani has an incredible gift for dealing with people. May God and Allah and all the others keep him safe.
I'm loving it. He's just amazing.
"an amoral shit-kazoo, unconstrained by the bounds of decency, with unlimited power and an obsession with grievances and score-settling" should be his epitaph. Good job, Jeff
Another epitaph: Finally!!!
Amoral shit-kazoo is beyond perfect. Who wouldn’t love to say that to his face?
The Olympian-with-hand-in-reflecting pool-crime will be thrown out after the accused is bled dry of money and taken through emotional hell all for the entertainment of psychopathic fucktards in our White House!
Proud to say I can and do financially support Eisen's pro bono legal organization, which is defending Mr. Hearn in this DOJ travesty.
Thank you, Cyndi 👍
There was a gofundme taken up for him which so hopefully that will defray a good part of his expenses. Nevertheless the frivolity and expense of these suits is staggering.
The reason for Pirro to try
And blame some other guy
Is just to connive
From Donnie's dumb drive
Before the paint was dry
"Trump’s power comes from his willingness to violate all the norms, rules, and laws about how American presidents are supposed to act — to do anything that helps him accumulate more wealth, power, and glory, and wreak vengeance on anyone who has tried to get in the way."
No. That's not where he gets his power; he gets it from the Supreme Court Corrupt Six and Congressional Republicans who refused, and still refuse, to stop him. Like everything else in that miserable f'er's life, he's been GIVEN it.
point taken, but you should read Robert Reich's post. he makes his case
I’ve said basically the same thing all along. He’s the kind of person that the project 2025 fuckfaces wanted. Someone who’s willing to break the law and the rules and somehow get away with it 🤦♀️. But my god a performance for the ages at the NATO summit 🤦♀️
Just read Reich's piece. He's eloquent as always. But Johan, a commenter on Reich's post, made this point about a thief with no barriers or "locks"
"The first-mover advantage only pays out if the community declines to punish, the thief’s edge vanishes the moment doors get locked...The problem was never the thief. It was the town that decided locks were rude."
If the majority of the American population could lock their doors, we would. We voted to give the locks to representative government that has failed the people, the rule of law, and the Constitution. Those were our locks.
I will because you suggested it, but I don't see how we can blame Trump for being who we've known for decades, without including the fact that McConnell lobbied Congress twice to acquit, and for the John Roberts court's decision to bar anyone from prosecuting a sitting POTUS for crimes committed while in office, and the current House Republicans for completely abdicating their power to Trump.
That's going to be a hard sell - even for Reich.
Reminds me of a saying by Solzhenitsyn: "We wish that the line between good and evil ran between good people and bad people, so that if we just eliminated the bad people all would be well. But the line between good and evil runs through each of our hearts."
If you haven’t watched Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Unhappiness with Larry David……on HBO the second episode is HILARIOUS…all about trump in last clip…..and so true!!!
It was so poignant seeing Rob Reiner in the final role of his life playing George Washington in that episode. It was a classic.
💔💔
Thanks, Hamilton. You are 100% correct. None of this has to happen. Not one single shitty-ass thing that Trump has done was inevitable. We need to hang Trump on the GOP forever and ever.
What a lovely lady your Claudia was.
Number of days Trump isn’t a fucking embarrassment will never be higher than zero.
Scary but TRUE ‼️
I vacillate between wanting to laugh, cry and scream at just how insane all of this is. The fact that a third of the voting public thought this was a grand idea and still do because somehow tearing the world into shreds owns the libs is frightening. The majority is being ruled (not governed) by an insane minority. I really hope that we can get rid of the electoral college. I would love a society where manners and decorum matter. One in which stupidity and cruelty aren't flexes.
Seeing the four stooges of the apocalypse standing there thinking they're all that. Perfect description of soybean scott.
Love the Danish reporter's question. Spot on.
If the Danish reporter were American, he might have qualified for the Lifetime Pulitzer.
I was thinking that.
I'm with you 100%, serenity🎯 Especially regarding the electoral college🤓🖖
"this is the guy who quite famously said he could have negotiated an end to the Civil War. how? by calling Jefferson Davis a stupid poopy-head?"
Who are we kidding? trump would be negotiating for the Confederacy.
Rick Wilson had a somewhat different take on the Europeans behavior at the NATO summit, arguing that they treated him like the drunken conspiracist uncle at Thanksgiving. Nod along and humor him because arguing is pointless, while any substantive discussions occur on the side away from his presence. The Euros are moving on without us.
I like that idea much more than any other. Drunk uncle is a good metaphor for The Donvict.
Our National Embarrassment
Rutte was given the job of slobbering all over Trump, so the others didn’t have to.
Beshear should go ahead and declare a special election for Turtle's Senate seat. Who's going to stop him?
Exactly. Just like the bulldozing of the East Wing. Act first and apologize never.
As if just writing a letter is going to get a response.
Ask Chuck Schumer.
Burn.
Great summary of the “fuckfaces of the shitpocalypse!” Love the Claudia photos…and yours as well!!!
"They’re scum. they’re sick people. they’re led by sick people, and, and they’re vicious violent people … as far as I’m concerned it’s over … there’s something wrong with them. they’re cuckoo.”
With Trump every accusation is really a confession.
He says shit like that and then I look at my Iranian colleague and go "o rly?"
Seriously, fuck him sideways with a cactus. 🖕
There was a great cartoon that basically had the Iranian government saying about us the exact same things that our government says about them and it fits perfectly.
I keep waiting for Iran to call Trump "nasty" with a "low IQ" who "must never have access to nuclear weapons."
Yuppers!
