you know what? I should do a daily thing on What People Are Mad At Me About Now, because when you have a large enough readership, there's always someone who will get furious about something. I just got an email from someone screaming at me for writing about something anything than 9/11 on 9/11.

I'm pretty sure they didn't cancel their subscription over it, so there's that.

Jeff Tiedrich's avatar

a couple of days ago I got yelled at for calling the Green Lantern a 'd-list superhero'

Old Enough To Know Better's avatar

Well, thank you for the great pictures of Rebecca and Claudia!

No one could be mad about that.

Neal Stiffelman's avatar

Them guys can get tetchy, eh?

Ransom Rideout's avatar

And you were dead on. D at best.

Jack Carter's avatar

Because green lantern is fucking real in his/her sick mind?? Lol

Susan Niemann's avatar

Good grief...about 1000 other writers are devoting their word smithing today to 9/11. Not hard to find and there is nothing funny about 9/11, so....

(unless you wanna listen to my friend who is convinced it was an inside job. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️)

Jeff Tiedrich's avatar

next year I'm going to write a post called "9/11, fuck yeah"

Ransom Rideout's avatar

As I said at the time, The chickens come home to roost.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

Sadly, a lot of the conspiracy theories we hear today started with the so-called "9/11 truthers." Some of my friends even fell for this, and it was pretty nonpartisan, although it leaned left.

HI2thDoc's avatar

Anyone who refers to themselves as a "truther" is probably batshit nuts in my book

Joyce's avatar

Is batshit. No normal person calls him/herself a "truther."

Cyndi's avatar

I lost a close (almost family) friend in the plane that hit the Pentagon. She would be appalled at the performative shit happening today. All she would want is a focus on (1) saving our democracy and (2) keeping our sanity.

She would have loved this bunch of like-minded nuts. Go for it!

Ransom Rideout's avatar

My 9/11 memory, and forgive my sense of Middle East history, is my very first thought, when seeing the TV image of the second tower being hit, was:

"The chickens come home to roost".

I REALLY prefere your Daily Claudia to any of the shit out there.

It gives us hope that love is real.

today in Shit That Happened While I Was Busy Writing This Shit—

"Houthis claim major advance in Yemen as group reportedly seizes island in key shipping route"

https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cmd683p01eljt

oh that's just great. Houthis have tightened their control over the only other Middle East shipping route aside from the Straight of Hormuz. ace job destabilizing everything, Donny

Jeff, I am fuckin pissed today. This is the angriest, rage driven, and I fuckin cried probably 8 times writing this shit today. And I have had to up to FUCKING here (points above her head). I know Im probably your only trans reader, and I am totally cool with it Uncle Jeff, but today, I cant fuckin hold this shit back. I really cant.

So the Republican midterm convention went great. Ted GayCruzer read three Democrats' names and the crowd screamed "he should be shot." Mike "Sucks A Big" Johnson looked at acres of empty seats and said, those are real fuckin people. Out of NOTHING. The Tangerine TantrumKing publicly roasted his own Senate candidate's goddamn wardrobe. Couchfucker Vance soaked up "48" chants like a prom king with a stopwatch and no shame.

Fifty-three days, you fuckin blood-chanting shitweasels. We're coming with ballots, and we're bringing everybody. If I have to bring every fucking one of them myself.

Gonna go cry in a corner now. Thank you.

HI2thDoc's avatar

His firehose of bullshit was on full blast

He knows that he's sinking, and sinking fast

Though he bribes and he cheats

He can't fill all the seats

And his lies will soon be outclassed

Wendy The Druid 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🌈's avatar

Thank you Doc, that helped between the crying sessions just now.

HI2thDoc's avatar

He knows the sword of Justice is pointed at him.

Wendy The Druid 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🌈's avatar

I dunno that it will help this late in the game, Doc. I want to believe it can. But I am just not sure.

HI2thDoc's avatar

As much stress as he gives us, I'm pretty sure that he feels much himself as he sees that the Dems have a chance to take both houses as well as some governorships. His increasing desperation and unhinged bullshit show this.

Cyndi's avatar

Consider how badly he is physically able to cope with the fucking knuckle sandwich we are going to deliver over the next 53 days.

I find it helps me to imagine him rampaging around in a tantrum waddle looking for ketchup bottles to throw. 😀

Then I imagine watch him having the third stroke 😁

HH Mohr's avatar

Wendy, here's a ray of hope for you. Jefferson County school district in Colorado is suing the frump admin to block the anti-trans push. You are not alone.

Wendy The Druid 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🌈's avatar

HHMohr, this gives me hope, it really does. I just don't understand what makes me such a threat. Because I have a voice? Because I am a woman? I dont get it.

djw's avatar

Well, at least all those chanters managed to fill maybe a third of what is really a relatively small arena (compared to, say, the football stadiums Taylor fills for every appearance), so it's not like there are a lot of them left. I'm hoping his numbers continue shrinking so we can just vacuumed them up and toss them in a trumpter for pickup.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

I feel you. It can all seem like just too much.

HI2thDoc's avatar

Dumbshit DonOld is Making the Houthis Great

SethTriggs's avatar

I guess this means the Straits of Schrödinger are definitely openclosed!

Richard's avatar

Yeah, there goes the price of fuel and other miscellaneous stuff. Jacked up prices. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Susan P Thatcher's avatar

Iran is apparently really good at strategy. Close the Strait of Hormuz, knock out the bases keeping our navy operating over there, now knock the other major shipping lane using your surrogates in Yemen.

Iran and Saudi Arabia have been contending with each other to be the biggest dog in the Middle East We'll see what happ3ns.

Jeff Tiedrich's avatar

here's what else was going on while I was Busy Writing This Shit™—

Donny has fallen asleep at the Pentagon 9/11 memorial that's happening right now

https://www.threads.com/@_kj.rose/post/DdJkUiNkVXw?xmt=AQG0L5fwuf-Gi5_D_vnx1oRbiEY8biZB4j_36HQXgFf5VHFR4mX0dOYJbKwA7M7Dx0aJvOeo&slof=1

SethTriggs's avatar

The Nodfather strikes again!

Kim Nesvig's avatar

He wasn’t speaking at that moment, so naturally he wasn’t interested in that stuff going on around him.

Lisa Bieber's avatar

I see Malignia is staying out of reach.

Richard's avatar

Yeah, then he starts passing gas fumes. Of course, Natalie is nearby.

HI2thDoc's avatar

I really don't think she has a sense of smell

Ann Anderson's avatar

My favorite part is when he asked if people would give up their seat so standees could sit and then the camera panned to a half-empty arena. Donny Demento is so far gone he actually believes the words coming out of his pie hole. Show of hands: How many think Donny will quit after we kick his fat ass in the midterms? The House and Senate.

PEACE, LOVE, RESIST's avatar

That would be a gift from god to take away the gift from god.

Joe Witkowski's avatar

Terminal narcissists don’t quit, they just try to ram their (Mike) Johnson farther up our asses. Our pain is their eroticism.

Kathleen Weber's avatar

No. He didn't quit after he bankrupted 6 casinos, and the USA is not quite bankrupted yet.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

No, he will stay as long as he can because a. he can't imagine anyone coming after him and b. he has to protect his ill-gotten gains as long as possible and he trusts NO ONE.

HI2thDoc's avatar

Quit? Hell no, I want him impeached.

Ann Anderson's avatar

I want him jailed but we don't always get what we want.

Susan Niemann's avatar

"people call us a cult. I don’t care.” JFC 🤦‍♀️

What is it about the human condition that causes people to be like this...the cult mentality?

I hope this is the beginning of the end for the Republican party. Every single one of them have caused this chaos and corruption.

And when he lunged at the female reporter....I felt instantly pissed off. WTH?? He needs to die today.

HI2thDoc's avatar

Haha, that "I don't care" if I'm in a cult is right up there in the self-own category with "All this talk about vaccines for diseases I've never even heard of." Why are people so fucking stupid???

Susan Niemann's avatar

I used to worry about Americans....now I think I fear them.

Joe Witkowski's avatar

The fork in the road of God’s free will:

• be born, remain and live “so fuckin stupid”

• help thyself to not be “so fuckin stupid”

HI2thDoc's avatar

Now that is what I call a binary choice

PEACE, LOVE, RESIST's avatar

Why is it that they say stupid things, knowing it’s stupid and embarrassing and then double and triple down on ridiculous wrong views that make zero sense to anyone, even themselves???????

HI2thDoc's avatar

You know how us libs say "Love has no limits?" Conservative version is "Stoopid has no limits"

Susan Niemann's avatar

Their behavior needs to be studied...they say there is no cure for stupid, though.

HI2thDoc's avatar

COVID, measles, Rubella, Pertussis, Diphtheria, mumps, polio, . . .

Joe Witkowski's avatar

Those fucking inbred losers would have the (IN)Justice Department harassing my University of Pittsburgh hero Dr. Jonas Salk if he were still alive.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

What happens if Trump pulls a Jim Jones on them? Will they drink the Kool Aid? Oh well, more votes for us.

Joe Witkowski's avatar

The cosmically greedy bastard would try to charge too much for the Kool Ade.

Joel S's avatar

I will be totally ecstatic when the news breaks that piece-of-shit Trump has suffered a massive heart attack or a massive debilitating stroke. While I would rather that happen today or tomorrow, it'll be fine with me if that happens anytime before the end of 2026.

Stephanie Lajeskie's avatar

It was a really nice touch when someone in the audience screamed out that Zohran Mamdani should be shot; especially in a room where cult members will do just about anything they’re told to do. But please tell the Dems how they need to cut the violent rhetoric. 🙄

And thanks for always ending this shit show with the Daily Claudia. Photos like these are priceless.

Stephanie Lajeskie's avatar

And happy and healthy New Year to all who celebrate!

Cindi Lynch's avatar

When is our Nuremburg? I look forward to accountability for every Nazi in the Trump administration.

HI2thDoc's avatar

Your absolute banger of an opening paragraph is his future epitaph, Jeff. Knowing his egomania, his tombstone will be humongous enough to fit all of it on there.

Susan Niemann's avatar

They'll have to put a fence around his grave. People will use it as their own private toilet.

Joe Witkowski's avatar

I’ll stand there and throw toilet paper to desecrators like that knuckle-dragging Jiz stain threw paper towels at hurricane victims

Tess's avatar

Get in line……!

Susan Jane's avatar

I wonder if he's actually planning to be planted at his triumphal arch?

Joe Witkowski's avatar

It would be poetic justice if the Golden Arches finally kill that lazy fat fuck from fryer grease super-saturation

Harold Miller's avatar

That’s him in a nutshell!

Great job whittling all the crimes and pathologies down to one paragraph!

Fastball Fredo's avatar

Watching the cult evolve to Hitler, Jim Jones dedication. That pledge? His going off on the reporter.. we all can see why Mel just can’t do it anymore.. BTW.. is Natalie going to Ireland too? Maybe she can calm that Hey Boy with some tricks she knows.. Best to All Travelers.

HI2thDoc's avatar

100% that Natsputin (SoCal Steve's coinage) will be in Ireland with him. She's with him in the wee hours helping him shitpost. She is omnipresent.

Susan Niemann's avatar

Natsputin! Thats excellent! 😂

HI2thDoc's avatar

SoCal Steve said it a couple of days ago

Lisa Bieber's avatar

And she helps with his diaper post-shit.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

Remember what happened to Jim Jones' followers.

HI2thDoc's avatar

And David Koresh's. And Marshall Applewhite's.

"We're like sheep without a shepherd

We don't know how to be alone

So we wander 'round this desert

Wind up following the wrong gods home

But the flock calls out for another

And they keep answering that bell

One more starry-eyed Messiah

Meets a violent farewell"

Mark Slattery's avatar

Since we have all of these socialist money-giveaways proposed by republicans, how about adding refunds for the illegal tariffs we paid thanks to the Pedophile-in-Chief

Mark Slattery's avatar

The media (and we) need to keep reminding folks that trump didn't inherit a bad economy. When he came into office, inflation was 3% and gas was about $3.10. Those are the parameters for comparison.

HI2thDoc's avatar

You're 100% right. Because the MSM doesn't do this enough, the MAGA lie machine (Fox, OANN, Newsmax) and the White Trash House get away with their blatant lies, and of course people have incredibly short memories.

SethTriggs's avatar

Murc's Law casts a long shadow in protecting this vanglorious muppet. He's free to just have anything tumble out of his mouth, and MSM outlets will simply repeat what he says uncritically, and the balance of the rightwing media human centipede will cast it everywhere. And so we'll have the SIsyphean task of combatting his delusions.

The whole notion of a midterm convention is bonkers, but hey it makes sense when you consider it another grift opportunity (on top of the attention).

Joe Witkowski's avatar

Why did we never, quite simply like him, dub him as *DONALD CHUMP”?

Joel S's avatar

Lying scumbag, Putin's Puppet, fascist, criminal, piece-of-shit Donald J Trump, the reincarnation of Nazi-scum Adolf Hitler. Asks his cult to pledge allegiance to HIM. Tells his cult to cheat like hell.

Make damn sure that everyone in your family and that all of your friends and associates register to vote..... and that they GET OUT TO VOTE. Our country's future depends on a massive voter turnout.

Ginny Hall's avatar

The Oct 17 No Kings is not just another protest with signs. The events are to be in support of voting, so voter registration events, get out the vote events. Some places start early voting on Oct 17, so the idea is to get people voting early. Where I am, early voting starts Oct 24, so our Oct 17 event will be going door-to-door in low-turnout areas to get people registered and make sure they have a plan to vote.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

We start early voting in Ohio October 6. Lots of events are planned for that day. Everyone is planning to be there; my congresswoman is going to be there.
