"Trump on Greenland: 'That's what hurt my relationship with NATO...it's an important part for the United States. It's surrounded by China ships & Russian ships. Greenland should be controlled by the United States, not by Denmark. We could remove all our soldiers out of Europe. They better be careful.'"
We are still going after fucking Greenland? Why the fuck.
Greenland is "surrounded by China ships and Russian ships" — a thing the actual experts on Greenland have looked at and gone, no it fucking isn't. But sure, Donny. And it "should be controlled by the United States, not by Denmark," because the guy who bankrupted a casino has cracked the code on Arctic geostrategy that eluded Harry Truman, who at least had the decency to offer a hundred million bucks for it in 1946 before Denmark told him to pound fucking sand.
How about we ship Drumpf out to an island somewhere? An island where he has no phone, no internet, no sycophants... and is left all by his lonely self to eat coconuts and chase wild boars for the next hundred years.
This is literally what I pray for every night! Except in my prayers, he takes his entire administration & all his lunkhead maga supporters with him! Or they all end up in prison for a good, long time! And don’t forget the billionaire pedophiles! Take them, too!
Yeah , let’s send him out to the Dry Tortugas like they did Napoleon.This guy is beyond embarrassing and I am so sick of it every fucking day.I guess that is the point of all of this daily fuckery.He is toxic and anyone associated with him will be slimed by his filth.My friend texts me daily that he needs to fucking die.
Sorry, Wendy. You are wrong. It was TWO casinos. He opened one in Atlantic City and, because it was a big success, he decided to open another one just down the road, where it could compete with the first one. Genius businessman.
Bankrupted a casino. A CASINO. A place where the business model is where people walk in and hand you all their money and you say "thank you, have a complimentary cocktail".
Oh, puke! I never thought of that. Why did I not think of that? It's so obvious! (I think I just can't get deep enough into that degree of narcissism to think that naming a country after myself is a good idea.)
Someone on TV today—Tim Miller maybe?—reminded that donald has never BUILT anything, he just takes what someone else built and slaps his name on it. Kennedy Center, Greenland, etc. His signature is now on the $100 bill, on passports, on National Park passes, “Trump Savings Accounts”, none of which he actually has anything to do with “building.”
Figuratively & literally. He's sitting down, so they had to stuff his hip stabilizers (like cushions) in his pants so he can sit upright. Yes, he literally has junk in his trunk.
I’m thinking the rest of the world might say back “oh, dictator donny, you can’t control a stream of your own piss. WTF are you talking about? Go back to your golden bordello…” or something like that. 🤷🏻♀️
You can also run it by him in German or Spanish. Unlike the dweeb who allegedly runs our country, who lacks even a basic ability to communicate in English.
Greenland, the largest island in the world, has a total population of about 57,000 people. There’s a reason for that. And probably more than one reason.
How about somebody focus on obtaining what’s left of the Epstein files. Oh wait…..we’d rather talk about Greenland.
I got a money begging email from Democrats.com this morning. The "compelling pitch" to ask for $10 from me is Trump's attack on history at the Smithsonian. The Dems can't find their butts with both hands.
Donny and his boys are stealing Billions from American citizens. Spending Billions on ICE cruelty to women and children. Pushing the SAVE act (and other scams) to tamper with the elections. Blowing up Billions of our munitions in Iran for zero value to the US.
Yes, Trump's attempted re-writing of history, and his current alt reality, are campaign issues. But please, Democrats, get your message straight and attack. The mealy mouthed shit is getting old. Can you just tell the truth about the Trump Family organized crime ring inside our government? Maybe you might convince few independent voters to vote out the Trump gang.
No kidding! Maybe if they showed some awareness of the dire situation we are truly up against, I and others might be somewhat more inclined to chip in $10. Instead, business as usual = Delete!

Does it seem like he starts talking about Greenland after every long phone call with his bestie and role model Putin? Who wants him focusing on empire-growing pursuits like his own in Ukraine and beyond? All those untouched natural resources for the taking.
Responsible people who swore an oath to our Constitution should remove him from office either through impeachment and conviction or the 25th but it is now clear we have too few of those: an AF officer and a few Democratic office holders.
He's been successfully gaming Wall Street with his blundering tariffs and Strait of Hormuz rising/falling oil prices for so long, they might as well let him keep the fucking bell and add it to his stolen awards and trophies stash. The needle on my "Give-a-Shitometer" is broken.
And having people boo him. I worked at both the Board of Trade and the Mercantile Exchange in Chicago when I was a kid and they had no respect for assholes who wanted to show off.
Jeff, I really felt the muse of your writing this morning. So let me see if I get this fuckin right.
So let's review. donald "packed to the brim with shitty pants" trump promised a 250th blowout and served a half-empty fairground so goddamn shoddy his OWN cultists were grumbling in the heat — one told a reporter, and I swear this is real, "I'm mad at Trump." at Trump's own heated fuck fair.
The stage literally tried to MURDER its dancers when a panel dropped. eleven people hauled off with heatstroke. MAGA sheltering from the storm inside the National Museum of African American History. you can't write this shit (and I just did).
The real crime? sixty-eight million taxpayer dollars laundered through a shady "non-profit" with ZERO oversight. a slush fund. a cool mil bought face time with the fat orange grifter, whose family shitcoin helped pocket the TWO BILLION he's grabbed since crawling back in. Reminder: the founders fought a war over a king who did EXACTLY this kind of bullsht.
Donny is that kid who came over to play with your Playskool Busy Garage and got it all sticky with poop and melted candy, breaking the elevator and then pitching a huge tantrum when you caught him stealing your hot wheels until your mom MADE you give it to him.
In short, the worst person in the world continues to revert to his eight-year-old spoiled brat (not that it was ever that far).
I learned that Natalie Harpie is tasked with carrying his oversized diaper bag for the many occasions when he shits himself because they don't want him to have a rash. I tell you, the sickness is absolute.
Meanwhile the GOP refuses to confirm the brain-dead McConnell is being kept alive for the sole purpose of retaining their razor-thin "majority."
The DNC again was handed a grenade in the form of Plotner, but I guess they only pressure candidates like Al Franken. Pull that pin, assholes. You know you will.
What a shit show. I am so stressed out even typing this. I grew up in Tucson during the 80s dreading nuclear annihilation. Now I'm getting kinda eager for it. At least it would end this eternity of dumb.
I think its funny (as not at all funny) that every really good, populist Democrat has some indiscretion that gets pulled up when they are proving their popularity and effectiveness. They can't afford to lose Collins' seat so there has been a bulls eye on Platner's back. And the Democrats are falling all over themselves to distance themselves from one of the best candidates they have to beat Collins. The Republicans do this to every popular Democratic candidate. Meanwhile, their President has been credibly accused of screwing underage girls, and no one cares in Republican world. Not one demand for resignation or even the files that could disprove it if it isn't true.
They should also be checking in on Mitch McConnell. They have to replace him if he dies or resigns by August 4. Is he dead? His (devoted) wife just left the country.
Restoring the White House is going to be high on the "to do" list. Stripping the tacky gold paint. Ripping up the concrete patio and replanting the rose garden. Rebuilding the East Wing. And if they must have a portrait of Trump it should be hung by the White House dumpsters.
Zero respect where Zero respect is due! Fuck respect for "the office" that he stole and corrupted beyond recognition! Rebuild it stronger and better so that this can never happen again!
Whoever the First Lady/First Gentleman is will probably have to make restoring the White House their cause. And if we're lucky, we'll get someone whose taste is far more along the lines of a Jackie Kennedy.
True story: I once posted on Facebook that when they do the portraits of Trump and Melania they should be hung by the dumpsters. That got me a month in Facebook Jail because their illiterate algorithm didn't get "they" referred to the portraits.
J Hardy, you're giving him way too much credit as an eight year old spoiled brat. He's more like a 2-4 year old toddler that has morphed into a dementia ridden kleptomaniac. Shut up Donnie, here's your big, new, shiny bell. Go ring it. Ding, ding, ding. Choo choo train.
Honestly, Jeff: I know you are grieving Claudia's death, but I want to thank you for showing us photos of Real Claudia in her real life, during her elder years. I am so sorry for your loss, but very grateful for your truth-telling, via photos from your treasured home life.
Our culture often wants older women to hide our wrinkles and white hair instead of celebrating our elder years. But there is joy in being an elder. Optimally, there's satisfaction at a life well-led.
Always, sorrow stalks us elders. The mists of time and illness cloud our partners and eventually, take our partners to a land where we cannot follow, no matter how much we long for the comfort of that particularly beloved person and our former relationship with them.
I am losing my husband now. He has Parksinon's. I am currently organizing his nursing home room in an excellent facility. His dementia is too far gone to live outside an institution at this time.
My heart goes out to you in your grief. Thank you for sharing Real Claudia with people who deeply support your work. Sincere admiration.
I'm sorry that you're going through this. I went through the same thing with my mother, Parkinson's Disease with the associated dementia. When she passed in 2016 I had already mourned her loss for several years. I put my mother in a group home because my rat bastard brother was her fiduciary and medical POA and he stopped paying on her long term care policy, ran up her credit cards and caused an 86 year old lady with dementia to be evicted from her assisted living facility. But I spent time decorating her room with pictures of her siblings, parents and landscapes she liked. My siblings nowhere to be found.
I’m so sorry for that your mom went like that . And how horrifying for your mom and you! WTF is wrong with your brother? I don’t suppose there is any relationship with him now…not that there should be…
I'm in charge of my Mom's finances. My sibs aren't evil like that, but they are indifferent managers. What a horrible experience for you and your mother. How can someone be so callous?
My mother didn't really know what was happening. Her dementia was too far advanced. While she was lucid she had the foresight to place herself in hospice care. My brother fought me on that. I haven't spoken to him in almost 10 years. He has screwed over every woman in his life including his own mother. 😡
You will be in my thoughts for the strength it will take to get you through this walk with inevitability. So many of us have found ourselves at various stages on this path. Jeff’s sharing of his memories is a good move and it says a lot about this readership he has, that we are here with him. I’m four and a half years out and I still remember all the years we had thanks to my photographs. You will likely do the same as you heal. Hold tight to those memories. Your husband, Claudia and my husband are still alive in those who remember.
Such a big baby……..“grievance-pickled asshole” for the win. Yikes-when will he get over himself??? I know-never…so disgusting. Trump curse works again…congrats to Belgium! Can’t wait to see who ignores him at NATO today…..hmmm.
Oh yes, the sound of his voice is annoying, but I was mainly talking about what he says. It's all so stupid that I can hardly bear it. I'm no genius, but he makes me look like a member of MENSA.
Well said. He makes the majority of our nation rise to eloquence beyond description, intelligent defying all words. The stupidity of his utterances peel off in ragged pieces. They float to the top of the Epstein Reflecting Pool to join the green detritus and scum.
I would like to know whose idea it was to cancel all the gun safety rules we've fought so hard to put in place especially allowing the mentally ill to buy guns. Who specifically introduced this very, very bad idea followed with who specifically agreed to support it.
And these are the first fucksticks that scream "mEnTaL iLLNeSs" when some jitbag with access to an AR-15 shoots holes thru elementary school kids. It's beyond infuriating hypocrisy.
They just did it because they hate every sane thing the Democrats do. Like the bratty kid who breaks your stuff just because he doesn't like that you have anything he doesnt have.
I do want to know how Infantino seems to have oiled out of responsibility for this whole mess. Yes, Needy Amin was the one who called for the red card to be overturned. But Infantino was the one who actually did it.
Also: seems like heads of state call him up all the time for favors, they just don't advertise it. Kier Starmer intervened to get England's start time vs. Mexico moved to buy the team more time to acclimate. I'm sure there are others we don't know about. It's just Trump who has to crow about it.
Not WONT he get over himself, he CANT get over himself. That’s the piece congenitally absent in a narcissistic/sociopath. Add advanced dementia with his virtually nonexistent filters now gone………
Episodes, more frequent and severe, dementia rapidly progressing. How does this play out ? The fate of all humanity could hang in in the balance
Only because he had instant access to all the best FREE medical treatments some of which weren't even approved for Covid yet. That and his lizard-like ability to keep regrowing damaged tissues (lung...heel spurs...ear...teeth...hair...brainstem...).
“the one thing I know about Republicans — when we had a very bad candidate and found out, we didn’t vote for that person. we walked away.”
That's true Kevin - look how quickly you cut George Santos loose. Just like that! He was elected in November 2022 and just THIRTEEN MONTHS later - in December 2023 he was gone!! He even admitted to the lies after the election but you allowed him to be sworn in that January. Great work, Kevvie . . . You really smoked on that one!
Any goddamn Republican that brings up Platner should be told to shut the fuck up. You fucking sacks of shit are A-OK with degenerates like Trump and Paxton. Fuck Off!
Personally, I was so hoping Belgium would kick our ass... we dont deserve to win anything with a "president" like this. What a genuine piece of shit he is. 🙄
The minute I heard dumpy had a fabulous phone call with FIFA head, I said we are going to lose the game. dumpy insisted on putting his kiss of death imprimatur on the US team. he assembled his henchmen in his office for a week trying to figure out how to put his fat short thumb on the scale. The coach and Balogon should have said, "nah, we're good. We'll respect the ref's decision." We had a better chance of playing/winning without dumpy inserting himself/attending/watching the game, as always. We lose any game the minute dumpy takes an interest in it!
It’s not the players fault though. They didn’t ask for that dumb pumpkin head to put his thumb on the scales. Maybe they knew that just like in the Knicks game ETTD.
It turns out Balogun was pretty much a non factor. Any other player could look as bad as him or the other players on the team. I would have dared the coach to not start him- but he would be out of a job today!
For everyone hoping for Massie to be Senator let me remind them that he is the same antisemitic right wing nutcase he has always been. Remember the Christmas card he sent out a few years back which showed him and his entire family holding AR-15 rifles and smiling broadly? He is no more an ally than other Trump haters like MTG, Tucker Carlson, and Megyn Kelly. I’d just as soon have Moscow Mitch remain in a coma than have the POS in office despite his efforts to release the Epstein files.
I don't get the Massie theory. IF there WAS a special election, Andy Barr, who is already the GOP candidate for Mitch's seat on November (Mitch declined to run again), would enter it. He has the advantage of campaigning for almost a year, raising money etc, as well as winning his Congressional district in his last election. What makes anyone think that if Massie couldn't win as the incumbent in his own district, he could win the entire state? Barr would win and get the benefit of incumbency for November so it would actually be to the GOP's advantage to have a special election.
Another reason Chow-chow was so eager to leave the U.S.: she, as next of kin, is the only person allowed to permit life support to be removed. She'll come back as soon as the deadline passes. (Oh, how I'd LOVE to see Massie take his place!!)
And of course we have Laura Ingraham suggesting that she went to China and gave them any secrets El Caudillo hadn't already babbled on his Temu Twitter because of course she did, Laura Ingraham is a fucking horrible racist.
With laura being so devoutly maggot, why do you think she chose this time to attack itch MacDonald's wife? Or is it because she's a racist through-and-through?
After three weeks he should be trached by now. Twenty years in critical care taught me that any 80 plus year old that goes on a ventilator doesn't come off. You can be trached, on a ventilator and be comatose too.
There is a deadline of August 3 (I think) in Kentucky to hold a special election. That’s what I was referring to. Massie is indeed a Republican whose only decent stance was the Epstein Files.
He’s stiff as a board. The Repubs aren’t letting anyone know he’s gone and buried because they don’t want Thomas Massie to be elected in a Special Election to replace Mitch.
And his wife, who is the only person who can give permission to take him off life support, suddenly had to take a trip to China. That's is not normally what a wife does when her husband is in Intensive care on life support.
I think he's either in a coma or on ice. They gave him CPR, which they don't do unless you aren't breathing and your heart is beating very weakly or not at all.
And remember dismember these least favorite things
And then you won’t feel so sad!
If you like what you just read, please feel free to subscribe to my Substack for a daily or near-daily dose of limericks, songs and poems that hopefully eviscerate the current regime with some humor....
Everyone who overlooked all of the awful things about Graham Platner should punch themselves repeatedly in the head until they pass out. We already know what happens when people support a Nazi sexual abuser, no matter what side of the aisle.
You don't know any of this. This is Republican hit job. Why do the Democrats let them do this. Platner should run as a Republican and every Republican would vote for him.
I wish I could find all of those commenters on Substack who gave me hell about stopping the “vote blue no matter who” bullshit regarding Platner and anyone else. It’s a stupid saying that needs to to die and now they know why. Told ‘em so!
I hope Maine doesn't do a RBG and Platner stops his beleaguered campaign by Monday. If he truly believes what he has professed at all his town halls he will show his love for the people of Maine by stopping his campaign.
Staying in would be a gift to Collins. Polls were already closing in. One in the last two weeks showed a tie; another showed that Platner's glossy 8-10 point lead had shrunk to two points. These charges would've killed him. Maine's a kind of rock-bound state; they'll go with t he devil they know in a pinch. Platner was already in trouble before this came out.
I subscribe to HCR and watch her video chats. I've never heard her say that, so am surprised. I'd hate to see her do it under these tense circumstances and short timeline, though. And, I think we need her elsewhere. JMO.
I can't find any indication that she's said that. That is a progressive fantasy. Also keep in mind that Maine isn't necessarily looking for a progressive. They adore Angus King who is the fourth most conservative member of the Democratic caucus.
She has never indicated interest and has lived in Massachusetts her entire adult life so she'd have to reestablish residency quickly. From what I know of Maine, that wouldn't be taken kindly.
FYI, she lives in a coastal town in Maine - has talked about how she bought back the land that her ancestors owned. Her husband is a genuine Maine lobsterman, too.
today in Shit That Happened While I Was Busy Writing This Shit—
Donny's at a NATO meeting in Turkey right now, making a ginormous ass of himself.

Put him in a circular room and tell him to go piss in the corner
Make that a revolving room with the switch stuck on maximum speed.
Noel 😆
LOVE it!
😂
😂😂😂
This is literally what I pray for every night! Except in my prayers, he takes his entire administration & all his lunkhead maga supporters with him! Or they all end up in prison for a good, long time! And don’t forget the billionaire pedophiles! Take them, too!
I hear St Helena's available.
Elba, perhaps . . .
I'm all for the wild boars chasing him.
Boars chasing a boor!
Yeah , let’s send him out to the Dry Tortugas like they did Napoleon.This guy is beyond embarrassing and I am so sick of it every fucking day.I guess that is the point of all of this daily fuckery.He is toxic and anyone associated with him will be slimed by his filth.My friend texts me daily that he needs to fucking die.
I’d like to designate myself the head of his going away party 🎉 🥳🎊🍾
Aah, be kind.
Let him have a basketball with Scott Bessent's face drawn on it to talk to. . .
I am still advocating for relocation of the fluorescent orange object to Bikini Atoll.
It's already been poisoned for the half life of plutonium. What's a few more years from housing Drumpf?
No island wants "it". I'm afraid you are stuck with "it" until "it" dies.
Pleeeeease... 🙏🏿
We'll donate miles for the (one-way!) flight!
There's a lot of wild bores chasing him in the Senate.
we can send ivanka and jerrod out on a mission to "find an island"....
Sorry, Wendy. You are wrong. It was TWO casinos. He opened one in Atlantic City and, because it was a big success, he decided to open another one just down the road, where it could compete with the first one. Genius businessman.
It was Trump Plaza, Trump Marina, and Trump Taj Mahal. So it was actually three casinos.
He had a lot of Russian $$$ to launder!
I mean....that does make it worse.
Mah bad. :)
Awww Wendy
..we forgive you. That's the royal we. Who normal and sane can keep track of that guy's shit?
LOL!!
King of Debt 👑
Bankrupted a casino. A CASINO. A place where the business model is where people walk in and hand you all their money and you say "thank you, have a complimentary cocktail".
Six times!
It was probably just a money laundering operation.
It was, first the regular mafia then the Russian Mafiya.
Pretty sure it was just money laundering
A "China ship" should be easy to chip
It could be sunk in Donny’s bathtub (along with America’s social safety net) by Donny’s Golden Gravy Boat
Are China ships ship shape if chipped? Did you charter the ship shape China ship that you chose to chop a chip off?
Say that 3x fast!!
And a biscuit mixer.
😂😂‼️🍊🤡🐖y stable genius
I think we can safely assume, on any given day, he’s making a complete ass of himself. It’s just the location that changes.
FFS. You just know he wants it so he can rename it Trumpland. 🙄
Algaeland.
Oh, puke! I never thought of that. Why did I not think of that? It's so obvious! (I think I just can't get deep enough into that degree of narcissism to think that naming a country after myself is a good idea.)
They'd need a big bell for Trumpland because that's why.
Sounds about right😡
Someone on TV today—Tim Miller maybe?—reminded that donald has never BUILT anything, he just takes what someone else built and slaps his name on it. Kennedy Center, Greenland, etc. His signature is now on the $100 bill, on passports, on National Park passes, “Trump Savings Accounts”, none of which he actually has anything to do with “building.”
Epsteinland.
Figuratively & literally. He's sitting down, so they had to stuff his hip stabilizers (like cushions) in his pants so he can sit upright. Yes, he literally has junk in his trunk.
And null in his skull
I think he "should be careful". Jeff might insert Judy Tenuta's gold accordian between dump's hands and give us the laugh we crave.
Hooray for Belgium! Doing the dance, Trump’s signature move. lol.
I’m thinking the rest of the world might say back “oh, dictator donny, you can’t control a stream of your own piss. WTF are you talking about? Go back to your golden bordello…” or something like that. 🤷🏻♀️
Do not tempt Emmanuel Macron this way.
I would slip it to him in a note, even translated into French for ease!!!!
You can also run it by him in German or Spanish. Unlike the dweeb who allegedly runs our country, who lacks even a basic ability to communicate in English.
I'm sure Melania can translate it for him.
LOL!!!
Good luck operating the eleventeen foreign wars Blotto von Bismarck wants to start without Euro bases.
Also have they determined the status of the Straits of Schrödinger yet?
Is he still whining about Greenland?
Greenland, the largest island in the world, has a total population of about 57,000 people. There’s a reason for that. And probably more than one reason.
How about somebody focus on obtaining what’s left of the Epstein files. Oh wait…..we’d rather talk about Greenland.
Thank you. I was too busy gawping at the "part of the United States" part to type fast enough to beat you posting that "GEM" to substack.
I got a money begging email from Democrats.com this morning. The "compelling pitch" to ask for $10 from me is Trump's attack on history at the Smithsonian. The Dems can't find their butts with both hands.

Someone should just slap him with a big golden pacifier already. Back to the crib for you Baby Goldmember
The Big Boy Golden Binky Award.
If the brat stays busy with new toys, that keeps him away from other dangerous toys he hasn’t played with yet.
Responsible people who swore an oath to our Constitution should remove him from office either through impeachment and conviction or the 25th but it is now clear we have too few of those: an AF officer and a few Democratic office holders.
I got kicked off Xitter instantly for posting, "can't somebody slap this guy?" BOOM.
"After careful consideration we have determined that your post violates the terms of blah blah blah."
The suspension appeared within 1/4 second of my posting. "Careful consideration." (‾◡◝)
in 2016, he rang the bell AT the NYSE. Today, the felon is so old & decrepit, they had to bring the bell to the WH.
He's been successfully gaming Wall Street with his blundering tariffs and Strait of Hormuz rising/falling oil prices for so long, they might as well let him keep the fucking bell and add it to his stolen awards and trophies stash. The needle on my "Give-a-Shitometer" is broken.
If you have insider info, like Trump and his croniesyou can make a bundle.
Well, better than the small fortune spent and disruption of taking him to Wall Street....
And having people boo him. I worked at both the Board of Trade and the Mercantile Exchange in Chicago when I was a kid and they had no respect for assholes who wanted to show off.
Trump is scheduled to give the trophy to the winner of the World Cup. Looking forward to a stadium of soccer fans booing him.
You know that trophy is going back to the Shite House with King Baby, right?
He'll embarrass us yet again.
Count on it!
🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
Oh, God. NO. Just no. What an insult to the winning team. If he hands it over, then they should do the Giraffe dance in celebration.
Just saw meme of Trump on the phone saying, "I need you to find me 4 goals."
C’mon fellas just a little gold would be so special to me.
Oh, yeah, Daniel, I will watch that!! lol !!!
BRAVO!!
So he could steal it
Jeff, I really felt the muse of your writing this morning. So let me see if I get this fuckin right.
So let's review. donald "packed to the brim with shitty pants" trump promised a 250th blowout and served a half-empty fairground so goddamn shoddy his OWN cultists were grumbling in the heat — one told a reporter, and I swear this is real, "I'm mad at Trump." at Trump's own heated fuck fair.
The stage literally tried to MURDER its dancers when a panel dropped. eleven people hauled off with heatstroke. MAGA sheltering from the storm inside the National Museum of African American History. you can't write this shit (and I just did).
The real crime? sixty-eight million taxpayer dollars laundered through a shady "non-profit" with ZERO oversight. a slush fund. a cool mil bought face time with the fat orange grifter, whose family shitcoin helped pocket the TWO BILLION he's grabbed since crawling back in. Reminder: the founders fought a war over a king who did EXACTLY this kind of bullsht.

Exactly!! And that's a tiny portion of the IMPEACHABLE affronts that fuckwad has perpetrated!
We need to keep the pressure on our elected officials to DO WHAT WE THE PEOPLE WANT.
IMPEACH the fucker!
Yep, sums it up.
"the founders fought a war over a king who did EXACTLY this kind of bullsht" George III libel!
Donny is that kid who came over to play with your Playskool Busy Garage and got it all sticky with poop and melted candy, breaking the elevator and then pitching a huge tantrum when you caught him stealing your hot wheels until your mom MADE you give it to him.
In short, the worst person in the world continues to revert to his eight-year-old spoiled brat (not that it was ever that far).
I learned that Natalie Harpie is tasked with carrying his oversized diaper bag for the many occasions when he shits himself because they don't want him to have a rash. I tell you, the sickness is absolute.
Meanwhile the GOP refuses to confirm the brain-dead McConnell is being kept alive for the sole purpose of retaining their razor-thin "majority."
The DNC again was handed a grenade in the form of Plotner, but I guess they only pressure candidates like Al Franken. Pull that pin, assholes. You know you will.
What a shit show. I am so stressed out even typing this. I grew up in Tucson during the 80s dreading nuclear annihilation. Now I'm getting kinda eager for it. At least it would end this eternity of dumb.
I think its funny (as not at all funny) that every really good, populist Democrat has some indiscretion that gets pulled up when they are proving their popularity and effectiveness. They can't afford to lose Collins' seat so there has been a bulls eye on Platner's back. And the Democrats are falling all over themselves to distance themselves from one of the best candidates they have to beat Collins. The Republicans do this to every popular Democratic candidate. Meanwhile, their President has been credibly accused of screwing underage girls, and no one cares in Republican world. Not one demand for resignation or even the files that could disprove it if it isn't true.
They should also be checking in on Mitch McConnell. They have to replace him if he dies or resigns by August 4. Is he dead? His (devoted) wife just left the country.
J Hardy--your very apt comment is how I feel.
Ditto
What the heck is going on with the oval office??? Is there any inch of the room that isn't badly decorated?? How much more stuff can they fit in??
Restoring the White House is going to be high on the "to do" list. Stripping the tacky gold paint. Ripping up the concrete patio and replanting the rose garden. Rebuilding the East Wing. And if they must have a portrait of Trump it should be hung by the White House dumpsters.
I also hope the Dems are long over on “ doing the right thing”. FUCK THAT. It is going to be all out BARE BONES CHARGE AHEAD.
WE HAVE SO MUCH SHIT CLEAN UP TO DO.
CLEAN UP, THROW THE TRASH OUT, RECONSTRUCT THE HUMAN WAY.
AND GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM US FOREVER.
Zero respect where Zero respect is due! Fuck respect for "the office" that he stole and corrupted beyond recognition! Rebuild it stronger and better so that this can never happen again!
Indeed. All the "norms" we assumed everyone would follow now need to be enacted into law.
Whoever the First Lady/First Gentleman is will probably have to make restoring the White House their cause. And if we're lucky, we'll get someone whose taste is far more along the lines of a Jackie Kennedy.
It would be cheaper for the taxpayers to bulldoze the whole thing. We'll never get the stench of him outta there!
Throw it IN the dumpster!!
True story: I once posted on Facebook that when they do the portraits of Trump and Melania they should be hung by the dumpsters. That got me a month in Facebook Jail because their illiterate algorithm didn't get "they" referred to the portraits.
Hah! Saying “hung” and Drumpf/ Melania in same sentence got you in trouble.
One reason I never FB anymore
Well, at least you didn't say, "hung by their heels.". That would have been very terrible indeed.
It is grotesque.
J Hardy, you're giving him way too much credit as an eight year old spoiled brat. He's more like a 2-4 year old toddler that has morphed into a dementia ridden kleptomaniac. Shut up Donnie, here's your big, new, shiny bell. Go ring it. Ding, ding, ding. Choo choo train.
True!
sp: Harpy. But otherwise, brilliant. 👏🏼
Honestly, Jeff: I know you are grieving Claudia's death, but I want to thank you for showing us photos of Real Claudia in her real life, during her elder years. I am so sorry for your loss, but very grateful for your truth-telling, via photos from your treasured home life.
Our culture often wants older women to hide our wrinkles and white hair instead of celebrating our elder years. But there is joy in being an elder. Optimally, there's satisfaction at a life well-led.
Always, sorrow stalks us elders. The mists of time and illness cloud our partners and eventually, take our partners to a land where we cannot follow, no matter how much we long for the comfort of that particularly beloved person and our former relationship with them.
I am losing my husband now. He has Parksinon's. I am currently organizing his nursing home room in an excellent facility. His dementia is too far gone to live outside an institution at this time.
My heart goes out to you in your grief. Thank you for sharing Real Claudia with people who deeply support your work. Sincere admiration.
Blessings to all who mourn.
I am so sorry. Parkinson's is a horrible disease.
That is beautifully written.
I'm sorry that you're going through this. I went through the same thing with my mother, Parkinson's Disease with the associated dementia. When she passed in 2016 I had already mourned her loss for several years. I put my mother in a group home because my rat bastard brother was her fiduciary and medical POA and he stopped paying on her long term care policy, ran up her credit cards and caused an 86 year old lady with dementia to be evicted from her assisted living facility. But I spent time decorating her room with pictures of her siblings, parents and landscapes she liked. My siblings nowhere to be found.
I’m so sorry for that your mom went like that . And how horrifying for your mom and you! WTF is wrong with your brother? I don’t suppose there is any relationship with him now…not that there should be…
Karma is a great equalizer, indeed
Nope not at all.
I'm in charge of my Mom's finances. My sibs aren't evil like that, but they are indifferent managers. What a horrible experience for you and your mother. How can someone be so callous?
My mother didn't really know what was happening. Her dementia was too far advanced. While she was lucid she had the foresight to place herself in hospice care. My brother fought me on that. I haven't spoken to him in almost 10 years. He has screwed over every woman in his life including his own mother. 😡
Wishing you strength.
That’s a terrible disease along with dementia too…it must be so hard to watch. My heart goes out to you…
Thank you for sharing your experience, Blue Witch. I hope you have enough support for yourself, and some respite.
🫂
You will be in my thoughts for the strength it will take to get you through this walk with inevitability. So many of us have found ourselves at various stages on this path. Jeff’s sharing of his memories is a good move and it says a lot about this readership he has, that we are here with him. I’m four and a half years out and I still remember all the years we had thanks to my photographs. You will likely do the same as you heal. Hold tight to those memories. Your husband, Claudia and my husband are still alive in those who remember.
Such a big baby……..“grievance-pickled asshole” for the win. Yikes-when will he get over himself??? I know-never…so disgusting. Trump curse works again…congrats to Belgium! Can’t wait to see who ignores him at NATO today…..hmmm.
Listening to him talk makes me want to just put a gun to my head and pull the trigger. But then, no, I'm not going to let him do that to me.
The sound of his voice makes me want to clean my ears with a drill press.
I never listen to it.
Cannot bear the sound of his voice or pics of his face, and do everything humanly possible to block them both. So I understand.
Oh yes, the sound of his voice is annoying, but I was mainly talking about what he says. It's all so stupid that I can hardly bear it. I'm no genius, but he makes me look like a member of MENSA.
I hear ya. It’s not so much the sound, it’s the fact that it’s mostly nonsense.
Well said. He makes the majority of our nation rise to eloquence beyond description, intelligent defying all words. The stupidity of his utterances peel off in ragged pieces. They float to the top of the Epstein Reflecting Pool to join the green detritus and scum.
😂😂
And he just made that easier
I would like to know whose idea it was to cancel all the gun safety rules we've fought so hard to put in place especially allowing the mentally ill to buy guns. Who specifically introduced this very, very bad idea followed with who specifically agreed to support it.
And these are the first fucksticks that scream "mEnTaL iLLNeSs" when some jitbag with access to an AR-15 shoots holes thru elementary school kids. It's beyond infuriating hypocrisy.
Excellent point.
They just did it because they hate every sane thing the Democrats do. Like the bratty kid who breaks your stuff just because he doesn't like that you have anything he doesnt have.
His son's own stock in an online gun company
His sons are invested in a military drone company also using Ukrainian technology.
They have their grubby little fingers in a lot of pies
Yes, don't let him do that to you. Let him do that to himself.
I bet they all eventually meet without Trump to discuss a world where the USA is no longer important to them.
Pretty sure that’s already happening.
Out of necessity they've already had that meeting.
I’m thinking those conversations are already taking place with action plans being put in place
It's difficult with someone who changes his mind like a 4 year old with dangerous toys.
rlritt, that discussion might be taking place right now. Drumpf continues to make the US more irrelevant and unimportant to them every single day.
(Personal to DJT: Meloni does *not* have the hots for you. Give it up, already.)
😂😂😂😂😂
The honeymoon is over if that was ever the case.
That's what he does. I was rooting for Belgium!
I do want to know how Infantino seems to have oiled out of responsibility for this whole mess. Yes, Needy Amin was the one who called for the red card to be overturned. But Infantino was the one who actually did it.
Also: seems like heads of state call him up all the time for favors, they just don't advertise it. Kier Starmer intervened to get England's start time vs. Mexico moved to buy the team more time to acclimate. I'm sure there are others we don't know about. It's just Trump who has to crow about it.
Right, because Drumpfs dumber than a bag of hammers. He ruins everything he touches - like our chances to beat Belgium.
Not WONT he get over himself, he CANT get over himself. That’s the piece congenitally absent in a narcissistic/sociopath. Add advanced dementia with his virtually nonexistent filters now gone………
Episodes, more frequent and severe, dementia rapidly progressing. How does this play out ? The fate of all humanity could hang in in the balance
Why couldn't Covid have done us a solid six years ago?
Only because he had instant access to all the best FREE medical treatments some of which weren't even approved for Covid yet. That and his lizard-like ability to keep regrowing damaged tissues (lung...heel spurs...ear...teeth...hair...brainstem...).
Let that bell be rung loud and long when he croaks.
Ding ding 🛎️
OMG! That will be biggest partay ever! It will go on for days. Maybe we'll even do the giraffe jerking dance in his honor.
Take that bell to the Reflecting Pool and have it ring out every 5 minutes!!!
😂
“the one thing I know about Republicans — when we had a very bad candidate and found out, we didn’t vote for that person. we walked away.”
That's true Kevin - look how quickly you cut George Santos loose. Just like that! He was elected in November 2022 and just THIRTEEN MONTHS later - in December 2023 he was gone!! He even admitted to the lies after the election but you allowed him to be sworn in that January. Great work, Kevvie . . . You really smoked on that one!
Thats exactly the opposite of what Republicans do. They defend their deviates to the very end.
Any goddamn Republican that brings up Platner should be told to shut the fuck up. You fucking sacks of shit are A-OK with degenerates like Trump and Paxton. Fuck Off!
The Daily Claudia shows a great love story. You are fortunate, Uncle Jeff, to have been part of it.
Yes. Your love story is the most beautiful thing I’ve witnessed in decades. ☺️❤️
Personally, I was so hoping Belgium would kick our ass... we dont deserve to win anything with a "president" like this. What a genuine piece of shit he is. 🙄
I'm exhausted.
The minute I heard dumpy had a fabulous phone call with FIFA head, I said we are going to lose the game. dumpy insisted on putting his kiss of death imprimatur on the US team. he assembled his henchmen in his office for a week trying to figure out how to put his fat short thumb on the scale. The coach and Balogon should have said, "nah, we're good. We'll respect the ref's decision." We had a better chance of playing/winning without dumpy inserting himself/attending/watching the game, as always. We lose any game the minute dumpy takes an interest in it!
It’s not the players fault though. They didn’t ask for that dumb pumpkin head to put his thumb on the scales. Maybe they knew that just like in the Knicks game ETTD.
Yeah, but the coach, or the player could have refused to play. At least the team could retain its dignity.🤬
I don't know if the coach has a choice. He is an employee after all. Has to do what the boss wants done.
It turns out Balogun was pretty much a non factor. Any other player could look as bad as him or the other players on the team. I would have dared the coach to not start him- but he would be out of a job today!
I think they just really wanted to win.🤷♀️
Where’s Mitch?
I'm betting Mitch is brain dead and they're keeping alive just long enough so Massie cant swoop in and try to grab the seat.
For everyone hoping for Massie to be Senator let me remind them that he is the same antisemitic right wing nutcase he has always been. Remember the Christmas card he sent out a few years back which showed him and his entire family holding AR-15 rifles and smiling broadly? He is no more an ally than other Trump haters like MTG, Tucker Carlson, and Megyn Kelly. I’d just as soon have Moscow Mitch remain in a coma than have the POS in office despite his efforts to release the Epstein files.
I remember that and agree-I wasn’t hoping for Massie to be a senator. He’s only shown a smattering of decency with the E Files.
No, I didn't remember that. Thanks for the memories.
There was also an M-60 machine gun, an Uzi and a Thompson M1.
I don't get the Massie theory. IF there WAS a special election, Andy Barr, who is already the GOP candidate for Mitch's seat on November (Mitch declined to run again), would enter it. He has the advantage of campaigning for almost a year, raising money etc, as well as winning his Congressional district in his last election. What makes anyone think that if Massie couldn't win as the incumbent in his own district, he could win the entire state? Barr would win and get the benefit of incumbency for November so it would actually be to the GOP's advantage to have a special election.
Massie does have a wicked sense of humor. Love his "Three Strokes and You're Out" term limits legislation.
Another reason Chow-chow was so eager to leave the U.S.: she, as next of kin, is the only person allowed to permit life support to be removed. She'll come back as soon as the deadline passes. (Oh, how I'd LOVE to see Massie take his place!!)
And of course we have Laura Ingraham suggesting that she went to China and gave them any secrets El Caudillo hadn't already babbled on his Temu Twitter because of course she did, Laura Ingraham is a fucking horrible racist.
With laura being so devoutly maggot, why do you think she chose this time to attack itch MacDonald's wife? Or is it because she's a racist through-and-through?
She certainly is. Horrible woman.
I agree completely, Susan. If I were a gambler, I’d bet a large amount that they will announce it the day after the deadline.
Hmm... Maybe we could go on one of those gambling things, like Kalshi, and make a bet and win BIG!
After three weeks he should be trached by now. Twenty years in critical care taught me that any 80 plus year old that goes on a ventilator doesn't come off. You can be trached, on a ventilator and be comatose too.
That doesn't make sense. Massie is a republican and will jump right back into the fold if he's still in office.
There is a deadline of August 3 (I think) in Kentucky to hold a special election. That’s what I was referring to. Massie is indeed a Republican whose only decent stance was the Epstein Files.
I suppose that is enough for team Trump to screw Massie's chances.
Barr would crush Massie and win easily.
True!!
He’s stiff as a board. The Repubs aren’t letting anyone know he’s gone and buried because they don’t want Thomas Massie to be elected in a Special Election to replace Mitch.
And his wife, who is the only person who can give permission to take him off life support, suddenly had to take a trip to China. That's is not normally what a wife does when her husband is in Intensive care on life support.
You should know by now that these are not normal people riritt.
Yes. And she probably got a load of $ for her troubles.
We need a sleuth reporter on this one.
She's already filthy rich, with her father being an uber-wealthy shipping magnate.
Well having that in her life, she probably did it for free.
But also, it is nice to have your own $.
I think he's either in a coma or on ice. They gave him CPR, which they don't do unless you aren't breathing and your heart is beating very weakly or not at all.
His heart never beat.
Weekend at Mitchie's.

Dead.
NYT just published a whole investigative article that basically says, "We don't know, and nobody will tell us."
To the tune of MY FAVORITE THINGS...
Every time Drumpf shoots his yap off I’m nauseous
Have to stop looking at news and be cautious
Junior’s a coke fiend, Eric’s mind’s moldstring
These are a few of my least favorite things.
Jared’s incapable, ‘Vanka’s a dummy
Drumpf wants to bone his own daughter, how scummy
Blanche and Patel smell like month-old herring
These are a few of my least favorite things.
Melania sounds just like Borat but dumber
She’d rather give donkeys a nice juicy hummer
Rich greedy assholes who hold the purse strings
These are a few of my least favorite things
Turn the news off! Get some sunshine!
When you’re feeling bad
And remember dismember these least favorite things
And then you won’t feel so sad!
If you like what you just read, please feel free to subscribe to my Substack for a daily or near-daily dose of limericks, songs and poems that hopefully eviscerate the current regime with some humor....
Good one! Here is one from earlier, to the tune of the Police's King of Pain:
🎶There are lotsa blue chips in the Pool today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
The water turned green just like split pea soup
I've made it a crime just to look or scoop
I've left Mel before out in the pouring rain
There are rats running 'round up inside my brain
Spent my whole life chasing wealth and fame
But it's my destiny to be the King of Blame
I'm a king who squats on a gold commode
Think I'm hot but I'm a disgusting toad
Boast I'm rich but I'm low and crass
And will never possess an ounce of...classss
I have lied every day that I've been alive
Even I have begun to believe my jive
None of my many crimes cause me any shame
'Cuz it's my destiny to be the King of Blame
King of Blame, I'll always be
King of Blame, I'll always be
King of Blame. . .🎶
Doc, another song that will be on my brain all day. Sting would approve.
Okay, okay, you finally got to me with this one. 👏
Excellent, Doc!
Someone on the internet said the Trump and Lutnick families are the only families with two Fredo's.
🏆
Yes, Belgium was mocking US because of HIM 😡
Thank god he doesn't care about women's sports because we still have an honorable Women's Soccer Team.
Everyone who overlooked all of the awful things about Graham Platner should punch themselves repeatedly in the head until they pass out. We already know what happens when people support a Nazi sexual abuser, no matter what side of the aisle.
You don't know any of this. This is Republican hit job. Why do the Democrats let them do this. Platner should run as a Republican and every Republican would vote for him.
No, it's not. The level of misogyny that has emerged on the left in the last day or two is stunning.
I wish I could find all of those commenters on Substack who gave me hell about stopping the “vote blue no matter who” bullshit regarding Platner and anyone else. It’s a stupid saying that needs to to die and now they know why. Told ‘em so!
AMEN!!!!
I hope Maine doesn't do a RBG and Platner stops his beleaguered campaign by Monday. If he truly believes what he has professed at all his town halls he will show his love for the people of Maine by stopping his campaign.
And letting the Republicans win. As they always do because winning is the only thing that matters to them. Democrats demand perfection.
Staying in would be a gift to Collins. Polls were already closing in. One in the last two weeks showed a tie; another showed that Platner's glossy 8-10 point lead had shrunk to two points. These charges would've killed him. Maine's a kind of rock-bound state; they'll go with t he devil they know in a pinch. Platner was already in trouble before this came out.
He and Greasy Pete should have a bro date.
Maybe a hellish threesome including KavaNO? 🤮
If Donny's a good boy, I'll take him to the corner where he can press the crosswalk button as much as he wants.
Maine Dems, get your shit together and nominate Heather Cox Richardson.
She's too intelligent to enter politics.
She's said she's open to it.
I subscribe to HCR and watch her video chats. I've never heard her say that, so am surprised. I'd hate to see her do it under these tense circumstances and short timeline, though. And, I think we need her elsewhere. JMO.
She hasn't said that. She's expressed no interest in running for office, certainly not in a state where she hasn't live for 45 years.
I can't find any indication that she's said that. That is a progressive fantasy. Also keep in mind that Maine isn't necessarily looking for a progressive. They adore Angus King who is the fourth most conservative member of the Democratic caucus.
Quite the opposite. She stated a couple of months ago political life is a poor fit and she wouldn't do it.
She said the same on her live video that ended a few minutes ago - not cut out for politics.
She has never indicated interest and has lived in Massachusetts her entire adult life so she'd have to reestablish residency quickly. From what I know of Maine, that wouldn't be taken kindly.
FYI, she lives in a coastal town in Maine - has talked about how she bought back the land that her ancestors owned. Her husband is a genuine Maine lobsterman, too.
Great idea! Do it quick.
