tRump and Loomer believe the Panamanians are not issuing strong-enough orders for the water levels to rise... The Orange Odium will go in (order our troops in), bash a few heads, and order the water levels to rise. Sure - that'll work. It will also allow him to get ahold of the Panamanian banks which were running tax havens before someone gets his records.
The downside is we may end up at war with Panama over a canal that is failing due to climate change. He does need to work on his GOP legacy, though -- he hasn't gotten us into any wars in a third-world country yet...
HCR says that "the original agreement had an “outbound investment” provision that restricted the ability of Americans to invest in technology factories in China. Senators John Cornyn (R-TX) and Bob Casey (D-PA) had collaborated on the measure, hoping to keep cutting-edge technologies including artificial intelligence and quantum computing, as well as the jobs they would create, in America rather than let companies move them to China." That would hurt Musk's ability to expand regardless of the danger to American industry. Musk is afterall not an American, he just has an American passport, and citizenship, but he has citizenship in other countries as well, and clearly feels no loyalty to any of them.
HCR goes on to tell us that, "As Representative Jim McGovern (D-MA) explained, Musk is building big factories in China and wants to build an AI data center there, even though it could endanger U.S. security. McGovern charged that Musk’s complaints about the spending in the bill were cover for his determination to tank the provision that would limit his ability to move technology and business to China. And, he noted, it worked. The outbound investment provision was stripped out of the bill before it passed."
So, look out Panama, His Majesty King Musk who is ruling they USA through his proxy President Donald Trump, gets his way. He has his fingers in the pie all over the world. However, I do agree that Musk cannot alter nature, but he can pay to have water piped from the nearest sources of water, even if those sources provide water and food to people.
If your VPN is based in Panama, I would switch now.
King Canute in legend tried to order the sea to roll back. Trump thinks: Well, if he can roll it back, I can make it rise. Guess trump hasn't got to the part where it didn't work.
I think it's even more basic business than that -- apparently the Trump hotel in Panama isn't owned by Trump -- they were just running it. Don't know details, but the Trump org was fired and fought against giving up the contract until just recently. I'm betting all the bloviating is more about Trump threatening revenge. (And yes, of course records are involved -- Trump's org apparently destroyed some of those before they vacated the premises, because that's not suspicious at all.)
I see that Loomer starts in on the subject of the canal and "illegal aliens." How in the world does taking back the canal have anything to do with stopping illegal border crossings? Not that any confirmation is needed, but more evidence that anyone who supports mango man isn’t logical or rational.
Aside from sitting back and watching an amazement, there’s one other thing we can do as individuals. We can look very seriously at how we spend our money and where. I’m not gonna knowingly spend a dollar that will go to Musk, Disney, Apple or Bezos in 2025. Will they notice? Probably not. But if a significant number of us boycott the bastards, it could have an impact on their bottom line. And that is all they care about it.
Amazon workers are striking for better pay and Bozo is having a $600 MILLION wedding in Aspen next week. It's just too much to wrap a head around. JC these assholes make me sick.
JFC, that is obscene. Flaunting your oligarchy-ness makes me sick. Just think what a $599 million donation to poverty, food, education, affordable housing could achieve. Blowing $1 million on a wedding still is so absurd.
I didn’t realized old Cueball was getting hitched. Honestly, she looks exactly like what an oligarch would choose for a trophy wife. She leans toward trashy but not as tacky as Kimberly “I’m Going to Greece.”
Are they buying the Hotel Jerome? The Caribou Club?
I've been to Aspen, know how expensive it is, and can't imagine how anyone could spend $600 mil on anything there, short of a major real estate purchase.
It is unconscionable to spend that much, or even far, far less on over the top, ostentatious, vapid displays of offensive waste when so many people lack the basic necessities
I think that cancelling a (my) WAPO subscription is/was a more quantifiable fuck-you to Bezos. OTOH, I'd probably be enormously wealthy if I stopped impulse-shopping on Amazon.
I've been doing this since Amazon came into being. Come on, guys, cheap prices aren't everything! Or high prices in the case of Apple (ok, I own a Mac.) And Disney is awful.
Yes, I started making my list (including early stockpiling) today because the ding-bat husband said we'd probably better go shopping on Monday. Since the alternative is Christmas Eve, he was actually right. Now if only I can get him out of the house by 10, it might not be too bad. 10 AM is usually defined as 2PM by him. Or 3 or 4. When you live on rock'n'roll time, you waste incredible amounts of time doing stuff when traffic and stores are packed, and you know, he's never figured this out. (I've explained it to him, but his hearing fails right about then.) When I was still driving, I would leave at 9, park in the lot across the street, and whiz into the store with my list, and be home by 10:30. For all three of you who know Berkeley Bowl West, you know why timing is critical, because tomorrow half the Bay Area will be there, and the other half will be there on Christmas Eve. Whine, whine, whine. Teri, sympathize with me...
What burns me is both Ron and his shitty son claim the Libertarian mantle when all they are is fucking assholes pushing the hackneyed conservative tropes like racism, misogyny, and discriminatory fiscal policies.
I detest that Rand Paul is going to be one of the repugnicans behind the next attack on Dr. Anthony Fauci, someone Rand Paul smeared and lied about so Fauci could be used to goad fundraising efforts for Paul's reelection campaign. Fauci is retired. He was an important doctor and is a great man. Something Rand Paul can never ever claim.
Ron Paul is at least somewhat brighter than his idiot child; he of the ridiculous curly hair. Did someone drop Rand on his head when he was a kid, or what?
If anything, it is another fine example from the right that some of these idiots have bewildering credentials but are still pieces of shit. Rand has an MD from Duke University, which I'm sure vexes Duke no end whenever Paul votes against pediatric cancer research
Considering he's an ophthalmologist which you would think scares the living hell out of his patients. Why does a doctor continue to propose hurtful shit like raising the age of Social Security and vote against funding research for pediatric cancer? Also, he must be a real peach to live next door to. Just ask his neighbor.
They say he’s an ophthalmologist but didn’t practice for very long. I guess he figured he could screw over more people by being a conservative politician
wtf is it with these failed practitioners being in our government? Paul now Oz and some others. The true quacks (ducks) have more brains than they do. Imagine being a patient of theirs “Hmm irregular heartbeat” while the stethoscope is on your butt. More like Three Stooges rejects. As for VP elect…bring on the dementia!
I heard a guy on the radio refer to President Jimmy "Stewart" when he meant to say "Carter" and once he had said the wrong thing he just couldn't think of the right name (his partner was laughing at him)
Yes he is. Look it up. He was also a flight surgeon in the Air Force. Paul and his wife then relocated to Texas where he began a private practice that also included obstetrics.
1000%!!....I won't wish it on him (at least not here) but I will rejoice when it happens!!...along with a bunch of others...like the deranged turtle for instance...
and don't forget the biggest Senate spider, trailing sticky strings of money and influence--ol' Turtleface McConnell, also from (ta-da!) Kentucky. WTH is in the water in that benighted state?
Musk owns Trump. He's doing what anyone would do with a valuable asset - keeping a close eye on it. Trump may not like being called Vice-President, but that's like a puppet complaining about the controlling hand up its ass. There aren't enough spokesppl in the world to change the perception. I don't know about you, but I don't see Trump 2.0 turning into a glorious reich. The GOP is weak, and Dems need to go on offense every day.
Nancy Pelosi is not in the way. She taught them how to lead and has stepped down. No dissin Pelosi, she was the strongest Speaker of the House that Congress has ever seen. Pres. Obama would have gotten nothing done without her.
THANK YOU. And if it weren’t for Pelosi’s seasoned expertise in getting nearly-impossible things done, the Jan. 6 insurrection would have succeeded, Biden would not have been certified as President, and we would already be living in Trump’s dystopia rather than just dreading it now.
It’s kind of sickening to see how quickly our pioneers and warriors get thrown under the bus by those addicted to our youth-worshipping, instant-gratification culture.
MzNicky, Nancy kept the Titanic from sinking during 1.0 FOR SURE! I am 68 yrs old, no ageism in my stmt. I have purchased multiple books about Speaker Emeritus Pelosi for my thin "keep forever" shelf. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the pic of a big conference table full of men, turd with lips pursed, arms crossed tight around his chest. Nancy is standing up, across the table from turd with a stern look and IIRC is pointing a finger at him. I think this is when she asked him "why is it with you, all roads lead to Russia?"
I know the photo you’re talking about and I love it too. That big-ass conference table and all the president’s men seated around it, staring shamefacedly into their folded hands, and Pelosi is the only one in the room who has the “balls” to stand up to the Orange Monster and point a finger at his fugly face. Pelosi is a fucking rock star, and I will not hear any whippersnapper armchair quarterbacks trashing her. And while I’m at it, the same goes for the godalmighty Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Teri, Nancy was a force.....but since D assumed prominence its been all just performative. She hamstrung efforts to impeach D by narrowing the scope of the investigation
🫂❤️ The ACA saved us, too. Back in the day, we couldn’t get health insurance anywhere at any price because of preexisting conditions. ObamaCare saved probably millions of lives.
I hold Nancy Pelosi is the highest esteem. But she just had hip replacement surgery in Germany after an injury. I've been emailing and calling her CA offices asking her to retire. Post-surgery rehab is difficult, and now she's in her '80s. Dems must hold the strongest line, all hands on deck. She had served us brilliantly. Unless she's in the House on a hospital bed for the resistance, time for Nancy to step down.
Nancy is another Feinstein....gonna be a burden to the effort vs. fascism. Dems spend alot of time coddling the octagenarian codgers much to the detriment to America. IMHO.
Teri, if she can show up and vote, I say let her have the rest of her term. If not, can Gavin appoint Barbara Lee to replace her for the rest of her term? Is it snowing in Paradise? The sun came out this morning.
Ellen, that sounds right. I've seen elderly folks close up go thru at-home rehab for hips -- it's difficult and takes 2 months plus. With the House divide so close now, we can't be missing anyone! Barbara Lee would be excellent! No snow, major fog. I'm at 2,000 feet. Saw two snowplows yesterday probably moving to our higher elevations.
So she had her time-but she made it so AOC couldn't be a committee head-and she's great at messaging and speaking, creating momentum for the working class-unlike the guy who was appointed that nobody knows, 74 yrs old with cancer (no offense meant towards him, and i hope he gets through his health troubles but he shouldn't have accepted!!!). The old guard needs to mentor younger candidates and step aside (imo by 68, then consult and advise if they want to stay in, or just fucking enjoy some retirement). And by doing this gatekeeping, Pelosi makes it so there is absolutely no female committee leaders-just older white men!!!! Wtf!!! This infuriates me-step aside already, you've had your time!!!!
As we Californians like to say, no committee head who can't count. Okay, I just made that up. But as we all know, the counter in chief has always been Nancy.
Pelosi is doing everything in her POWER to stop AOC from moving ahead, and bad-mouths Bernie Sanders at every turn.
She's dead to me, just like The Unpunished Traitor Hillary Rodham Clinton, may they both BERN in Hell. Honestly, I'd rather have an enemy I can see coming, rather than one that'll stab me in the back like those two....
Spoken like a true Hillaryinsta—Gods Damn her and P-Lousy!
You should be ashamed of yourself for supporting NeoLiberal Scum like those two and Schmuck Schumer over the only politician I consider WORTH supporting, Bernie Sanders.
As it turns out, many Founding Fathers were less than 40 years old in 1776 with several qualifying as Founding Teenagers and Twentysomethings. And though the average age of the signers of the Declaration of Independence was 44, more than a dozen of them were 35 or younger!
You just know that when they're in the cloak room, those old bastards talk about "the uppity colored girl." Hell, I'm surprised they don't just say it out loud, in front of a microphone.
I don't know what goes through the so-called minds of the younger right wing members of Congress, but the old ones are the same ones who lose their shit when Confederate generals' statues are removed, and military bases and schools are renamed. They don't bother to hide their sexism and racism, even in public. Behind closed doors? There have been plenty of examples of secretly recorded conversations at fund-raisers and other events.
Oh, nothing short of dynamite is going to lodge Notorious P-Lousy from the House!
I have been sick of her ever since she started bending over for Bush in the 1980s, rather than fighting the Right Wing tooth and nail. Worse, she's made political moves, like opposing Congress insider trading legislation, that really smell bad....
I'm in Minnesota, and please believe me when I say Klobs is just another centrist whose only core values seem to be those which are exhaustingly poll tested and completely inoffensive. She'll never do anything that's difficult, despite tossing off a few quips.
Rooting for Dems is like rooting for the Jets....its bound sooner or later to end in failure, incompetence & frustration (& the Giants wanna join the club)
I’d like to extend a magnanimous gesture of my middle finger to a certain selfish billionaire who manipulated Congress into removing a certain China business investment regulation that would have adversely impacted his AI business plans—up yours you South African traitor!
A lovers quarrel and breakup between the Loathsome Creature and the Musk-Rat would be a delightful spectacle for us. And then would the space Nazi seek revenge? Aim a rocket at Mar-a-Playpen ? The clash of toddler-titans…
I'm furious about that!!! Come March, when we are faced with this debacle again, Dems better not capitulate (esp on raising debt ceiling, hell no!!!!!!).
Good! No one expected the love affair between dump and Elonia to last! Didnt Dump post some long diatribe on his shitty app about who is really in charge? HA NO ONE.... thats the answer. NO ONE! And It’s great that Congress said Fuck You on the CR. I'd like to slap the hell outta Rand Paul, too. Why is he such a prick?
that long diatribe about Donny being in charge is fake. there are so many fake posts going around that one really need to check Donny's truth social feed before passing along any posts attributed to him
Take umbrage to the one who did his own research but there is a magnanimous lesson in this: it’s all manipulation or gaslighting. You took a good swing at it but it was a miss is the word, we could maybe due one as good after all spectacular lies sell.
Yeah, but Representative Massie is going to be square in Muck and Trumpy's pay-to-primary-out list. Not that that bothers any Dem, but yikes, who will they find that's even more extreme?!
The Space Nazi bought the gig for Donny so Donny would give him ALL the money he needs to put a colony on Mars. But here’s a thought, how about Elon and Donny put themselves on Mars and leave the rest of us the hell alone.
Jeff, I can’t take the insanity much longer.. when will president Leon just come out and say what he really wants..like no tax on billionaires, no enforcement of the rule of law, more subsidies for his shitty space x or his shitty cars, no social security, no Medicare, no subsidies to farmers, no SNAP programs, no healthcare… and finally, nominate Miss Laura for her interpretation of “I won’t back Down” 🤮🤮🤮🤮 her sound much like a group of cats in a big burlap bag.. OYOYOY.. 4 years of this shit…. Thanks for what you do for us to keep what’s left of our sanity.
We are watching the end of western civilization jacked up on amphetamines hurling us into oblivion. It’s definitely rough on those of us in the front seat with the best view. Remember when we were singing “This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius?” That sure ain’t happening.
....according to astrology the Age of Aquarius came in 2021 or 2022 or it won't begin for 600 years. I'm betting on the 600 years it will take mankind to come around to the truth of existence. Sad that love and understanding that we are actually one are out the window for eons, and peace and good will to all men is being choked on like someone jamming it down your throat. Some men/women are unforgivable, unredeemable. But one thing for sure, the age of Pisces is getting over real quick. The church has lost its Savior in following the golden calf. The Ten Commandments direct from the hand of Moses broken into shards like the big bang that humans are commissioned to mend but have forgotten how to put the pieces together and each generation has to learn the hard way again. Our State to be sold to the highest bidder. Even if another avatar came to light on earth, landing in the USA the proles and rubes stuck in Plato's cave watching shadows on the wall, won't come out even when Messengers tell them there is a real world outside...remember the last words of 1984, "He loved Big Brother"? My MAGA brother told me he really liked Elon Musk. WTF. He was raised as a Democrat. The Age of Aquarius is surely taking its time in arriving...
Right...as I read somewhere, DeSatan hates Dump and wasn't going to appoint her...maybe Lara will be free now to pursue her god awful singing career. 😂 She says she has a big announcement to make in January. Oooooh... I can hardly wait.
Fredo, I googled to see if Lara Trump got an ok from Tom Petty's estate. The family sent convict a cease-and-desist when the campaign used it. Seems her "acoustic" version cleared Lara to use it (?).
She is a cover singer🤮 Nails on a chalkboard… with all that screeching I think she might lose some of those fillers in her head, her face and wherever else😱😱
Let’s set up a Go Fund Me account in advance for Rand Paul’s neighbor. Let him know we support him. His last action set him back quite a bit financially.
Donny couldn't spell the word injudicious let alone pronounce it. Doesn't he understand when a gift is given, the recipient can do with the gift as they please. But of course he's never made a magnanimous gesture.
I read that Musk isn't authorized to enter many of his own Space X buildings even as CEO because he can't get a security clearance higher than Top Secret due to his known drug abuse. He was videotaped smoking weed in public with Joe Rogan and made statements about using ketamine and LSD. The boy ain't quite right ...
Wow. Do you remember where you read that, @Sharon? He seems like many who are young, appear to be very smart, and coming from a place of white privilege, assuming privilege. Unless I missed it, Warren Buffet - a different generation - and Bill Gates seem to have not exhibited similar behaviors.
So THAT'S why President Musk has so much free time to play POTUS and wanna-be King of Congress! Tesla just recalled 700,000 vehicles. For some sick reason musk and Tesla are high on my Google News feed. He .... ???? bc drug abuse?????? JFC JFC
100% that’s the biggest secret of all that Donny has given out. I’m sure Elmo also nos possesses it. There are no secrets when it comes to Trump. He always plays cards with them facing out rather than close to his chest.
And Puppet like to brag about what & who he knows and to “tell” in the belief it’s going to be made public so everyone sees how amazing he is.
Exception: recent photos of him on various Substacks in which he’s makeup-less, his hair not elaborately “styled”, and not wearing his Spanx or like brand of tummy control. The release of those photos greatly surprised me. It’s far beyond the brand & image he wants projected. It caused me to be more suspicious of what deals have been made and/or of worsening dementia.
for what it's worth, I just saw a post where Laura Loomer is claiming credit for giving Donny the idea to take the Panama Canal https://www.threads.net/@ronaldfilipkowski/post/DD4ZqunRRPv?xmt=AQGzXDDUnKNk9pJVs2JLZlX8HYRRmZ5zUMQqeauUL0prAA
I guess after he (possibly allegedly maybe) took her vaginal canal, the Panama Canal was the logical next step.
Winner!!!! Although, I'd be surprised if he can get it up
but he can still look, and - perhaps this is a stretch- remember. . .
If he did, would anyone be able to tell?
Kevin / Bingo! Tiny mushroom stays tiny!😬
there's not enough Viagra in the world
You slayed me on this Alison, touché!!
Eewww. I just can't.
WTG Allison!
Alison wins the Intertoobz!
:D :D :D
😂😞
Oh Allison...behave! 😂
LOL!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣. Priceless comment.
Damnit Alison!! Please remove that image from my brain please!!
tRump and Loomer believe the Panamanians are not issuing strong-enough orders for the water levels to rise... The Orange Odium will go in (order our troops in), bash a few heads, and order the water levels to rise. Sure - that'll work. It will also allow him to get ahold of the Panamanian banks which were running tax havens before someone gets his records.
Fun fact, there is a big faucet in Panama that needs to be turned on, like the one in Canada. Go find it, Donny!
oh god I wish I'd thought to make that joke in my post
The faucet! That’s the answer!!!!
Trump actually I imagine,as president-elect, is receiving daily intelligence briefings now...wonder how that's going??
If only Canada would turn on that damn faucet
No, he’s not getting any, not a drop of our water.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that's right! Get that Faucet a 24/7 sniper, razor wire 12 feet high! 🇨🇦
!!! Tax havens? Who would ever suspect such a thing?
I see it this way....if his attention is on stuff like this, it's less damage he'll do to important stuff...no?
The downside is we may end up at war with Panama over a canal that is failing due to climate change. He does need to work on his GOP legacy, though -- he hasn't gotten us into any wars in a third-world country yet...
Destroying the Canal would be an important blow to the economy.
Like he cares. He will just blame Biden.
However, according to HCR, Musk is the only one of the two that got what he wanted out of the Budget bill, so he seems to get what he wants.
https://open.substack.com/pub/heathercoxrichardson/p/december-21-2024?r=f0qfn&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

They took the name off the building soon after he blundered into office the first time.
LOL, still trying to stay relevant, isn't she?
:D
She's a shameless-self-promoting attention-whore.
Laura Lumphead. Ya, she's a real good resource for him.
My first clue was the absence of ALL CAPITAL LETTERS WHEN WRITING and the cognitive display of sentences. President Musk wrote it, for sure.
See also: correct usage of 'its' the word 'injudicious', lack of misspellings and improper capitalizations.
Yup. Big Orange did not write these posts.
Illegal aliens must first travel through the canal before getting to the U.S.?? Sersely??
jhfc, are all Republicans geographically challenged?
Intellectually and geographically challenged are prerequisites.
You know I expected this sort of precise analysis from Nancy Mace.
I see that Loomer starts in on the subject of the canal and "illegal aliens." How in the world does taking back the canal have anything to do with stopping illegal border crossings? Not that any confirmation is needed, but more evidence that anyone who supports mango man isn’t logical or rational.
Well I feels whole lot better-not
well, that explains a lot.
Rand Paul is such a fucking asshole.
Aside from sitting back and watching an amazement, there’s one other thing we can do as individuals. We can look very seriously at how we spend our money and where. I’m not gonna knowingly spend a dollar that will go to Musk, Disney, Apple or Bezos in 2025. Will they notice? Probably not. But if a significant number of us boycott the bastards, it could have an impact on their bottom line. And that is all they care about it.
Amazon workers are striking for better pay and Bozo is having a $600 MILLION wedding in Aspen next week. It's just too much to wrap a head around. JC these assholes make me sick.
JFC, that is obscene. Flaunting your oligarchy-ness makes me sick. Just think what a $599 million donation to poverty, food, education, affordable housing could achieve. Blowing $1 million on a wedding still is so absurd.
His ex-wife is the charitable one.
He cheated on her with that disgusting looking creature he's now marrying.
She is scary looking, isn’t she. A bit lycanthropic in the face.
Hope she goes off on Bezos one Full Moon when she turns into a werewolf.
I didn’t realized old Cueball was getting hitched. Honestly, she looks exactly like what an oligarch would choose for a trophy wife. She leans toward trashy but not as tacky as Kimberly “I’m Going to Greece.”
Eww, he's marrying that hideous, plastic-surgery addicted creature that looks like a bargain-basement Kimmy Gargoyle?
What could possibly cost $600 million at a wedding? are they having a Hollywood production? Is everyone in Aspen invited? How obnoxious and thoroughly
ostentatious is that?
Are they buying the Hotel Jerome? The Caribou Club?
I've been to Aspen, know how expensive it is, and can't imagine how anyone could spend $600 mil on anything there, short of a major real estate purchase.
It is unconscionable to spend that much, or even far, far less on over the top, ostentatious, vapid displays of offensive waste when so many people lack the basic necessities
Is he getting married??? Who's the lucky girl? 🙄
That trout-pout mouthed woman, with all the awful plastic surgery work who looks like she could be an entire season of "botched" plastic surgery.
Oh Susan, you didn’t know that Bezos’s longtime girlfriend, a subscriber of Kimberly Guilfoyle’s plastic surgeon, is the one he is marrying? Lauren Sánchez! https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14217859/amp/Jeff-Bezos-Lauren-Sanchez-wedding-plan-Aspen-date-is.html
600M wedding? Gross.
The only boycotting Musk would notice is losing American govt contracts and subsidies. Our piddly purchases mean nothing.
He’s got 50,000 Tesla’s in inventory. If nobody bought one he would soon be in trouble as the stock plummets back from its highly inflated value now.
And I don’t think many of the average Maggats can afford one so they won’t be bailing him out.
I will miss Amazon Prime but I agree with Kim- let’s not give the bastards a $$
Lynn, I read that Bezos only has a 10 percent stake in Amazon. AWS Amazon Cloud Service is his prize cash cow. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/05/20/why-jeff-bezos-keeps-a-reminder-that-aws-was-once-just-a-risky-bet.html
I think that cancelling a (my) WAPO subscription is/was a more quantifiable fuck-you to Bezos. OTOH, I'd probably be enormously wealthy if I stopped impulse-shopping on Amazon.
Haven’t bought a single thing from Amazon in over 6 years now.
It is possible to live without it and not suffer
Excellent idea Kim!!
Let's remember, cheap prices are hurting someone.
I've been doing this since Amazon came into being. Come on, guys, cheap prices aren't everything! Or high prices in the case of Apple (ok, I own a Mac.) And Disney is awful.
Agree! Also stockpiling & pre- buying by 12/31, or pre-J20.
Yes, I started making my list (including early stockpiling) today because the ding-bat husband said we'd probably better go shopping on Monday. Since the alternative is Christmas Eve, he was actually right. Now if only I can get him out of the house by 10, it might not be too bad. 10 AM is usually defined as 2PM by him. Or 3 or 4. When you live on rock'n'roll time, you waste incredible amounts of time doing stuff when traffic and stores are packed, and you know, he's never figured this out. (I've explained it to him, but his hearing fails right about then.) When I was still driving, I would leave at 9, park in the lot across the street, and whiz into the store with my list, and be home by 10:30. For all three of you who know Berkeley Bowl West, you know why timing is critical, because tomorrow half the Bay Area will be there, and the other half will be there on Christmas Eve. Whine, whine, whine. Teri, sympathize with me...
How about we start with the DoD budget? Cutting it in half would be a good start.
Those republicans getting their kick-backs would never allow that. But you are right, we should.
I like your thinking and you are right their bottom line will not be affected but we will feel better.
His neighbor should have finished the job!
The guy lost a lot of money and went to jail. But he may still think it was worth it.
Yep, another failure to rid us of these noxious bastards.
Maybe we could start a GFM for that!
A second generation asshole
What burns me is both Ron and his shitty son claim the Libertarian mantle when all they are is fucking assholes pushing the hackneyed conservative tropes like racism, misogyny, and discriminatory fiscal policies.
You've got have something to attract supporters. "Hey, I'm a self-serving asshole" doesn't do it.
It worked for Trump. Just saying.
Unfortunately, most people who SAY "I'm a Libertarian" these days MEAN "I'm a bigoted, self-serving asshole!".
I remember when being a Libertarian stood for something....
...In fact, it stood for plenty!
https://youtu.be/PUV_2cqbrbo?si=XuRZ4HKFjbqmCtUF
Sounds like that is the perfect bait for the modern GQP.
That made me laugh--in wry way, but still a laugh is a laugh and still good for the soul. Thanks, Susan!
I detest that Rand Paul is going to be one of the repugnicans behind the next attack on Dr. Anthony Fauci, someone Rand Paul smeared and lied about so Fauci could be used to goad fundraising efforts for Paul's reelection campaign. Fauci is retired. He was an important doctor and is a great man. Something Rand Paul can never ever claim.
ExactlyHI2!!
At bottom, Libertarians are just Republicans who want to do drugs without govt interference.
Ron Paul is at least somewhat brighter than his idiot child; he of the ridiculous curly hair. Did someone drop Rand on his head when he was a kid, or what?
I ain’t no senator’s son
If anything, it is another fine example from the right that some of these idiots have bewildering credentials but are still pieces of shit. Rand has an MD from Duke University, which I'm sure vexes Duke no end whenever Paul votes against pediatric cancer research
Rand is a former practicing ophthamologist from Bowling Green, Kentucky with an impaired vision for the U.S. on every issue that goes to the Senate.
Yeah, but he was certified to practice by a group he himself started and which contains something like five people.
Grace, thanks, I couldn't remember why Tand Paul's "opthalmologist degree" was fishy.
Only because he couldn't pass state boards like a normal person.
They should rescind his diploma.
Obviously, or oxygen was caught off in the birth canal, since we’re on the subject T. L.!!
The 'hair' is just a squirrel that's taken up residence on Randy's head.
That's some funny shit!
🤭💩😏
Considering he's an ophthalmologist which you would think scares the living hell out of his patients. Why does a doctor continue to propose hurtful shit like raising the age of Social Security and vote against funding research for pediatric cancer? Also, he must be a real peach to live next door to. Just ask his neighbor.
They say he’s an ophthalmologist but didn’t practice for very long. I guess he figured he could screw over more people by being a conservative politician
And no malpractice premiums.
Note: Rand was a FAILED opthalmologist!
wtf is it with these failed practitioners being in our government? Paul now Oz and some others. The true quacks (ducks) have more brains than they do. Imagine being a patient of theirs “Hmm irregular heartbeat” while the stethoscope is on your butt. More like Three Stooges rejects. As for VP elect…bring on the dementia!
Picturing masses of blinded former patients as his biggest fans.
Probably refused to sterilize the instruments or something.
He’s not a gynecologist. He’s barely an optometrist, which is bad enough.
My mistake and apology MzNicky. Ron Paul was the OBYGN. Coffee hasn't kicked in yet.
LOL, it happens. Yesterday I mistakenly called Scott Jennings “Peter Jennings.” Unfortunately, you can’t go back and edit your errors on BlueSky 😑
I heard a guy on the radio refer to President Jimmy "Stewart" when he meant to say "Carter" and once he had said the wrong thing he just couldn't think of the right name (his partner was laughing at him)
Like
Yes he is. Look it up. He was also a flight surgeon in the Air Force. Paul and his wife then relocated to Texas where he began a private practice that also included obstetrics.
I so wish the neighbor had concussed him!
another republiKKKan death - on a LONG list - I can't wait to read about!
I think a lot of people think that way. We don’t waste energy wishing anyone ill, but when they are gone, the world is better off without them in it.
1000%!!....I won't wish it on him (at least not here) but I will rejoice when it happens!!...along with a bunch of others...like the deranged turtle for instance...
You and me both.
His father apparently has become one as well HI2
Sorry, but his father always has been a fucking asshole. Where do you think little Rando learned it?
One half of the Pride of Kentucky. Hard to decide which is worse.
Massie is also from KY. A coincidence? Nah
and don't forget the biggest Senate spider, trailing sticky strings of money and influence--ol' Turtleface McConnell, also from (ta-da!) Kentucky. WTH is in the water in that benighted state?
If Gregg Abbutt could walk, he'd be Rand Paul.
If Rand Paul had a wheelchair, an army, and a shit-ton of razor wire at his disposal, he'd be Gov Dr Evil himself.
I still want to buy his neighbor a drink.
You probably have to get in line
😁
Musk owns Trump. He's doing what anyone would do with a valuable asset - keeping a close eye on it. Trump may not like being called Vice-President, but that's like a puppet complaining about the controlling hand up its ass. There aren't enough spokesppl in the world to change the perception. I don't know about you, but I don't see Trump 2.0 turning into a glorious reich. The GOP is weak, and Dems need to go on offense every day.
The Dems. Sheesh. I’ve lost faith in the Dems. Too fucking polite except for Rep. Jasmine Crockett—the wonderful hot shot from Texas! She’s the bomb!
AOC Iis also up there. Nancy Pelosi needs to get out of the way and let the “young guns” take leadership roles!
Nancy Pelosi is not in the way. She taught them how to lead and has stepped down. No dissin Pelosi, she was the strongest Speaker of the House that Congress has ever seen. Pres. Obama would have gotten nothing done without her.
THANK YOU. And if it weren’t for Pelosi’s seasoned expertise in getting nearly-impossible things done, the Jan. 6 insurrection would have succeeded, Biden would not have been certified as President, and we would already be living in Trump’s dystopia rather than just dreading it now.
It’s kind of sickening to see how quickly our pioneers and warriors get thrown under the bus by those addicted to our youth-worshipping, instant-gratification culture.
MzNicky, Nancy kept the Titanic from sinking during 1.0 FOR SURE! I am 68 yrs old, no ageism in my stmt. I have purchased multiple books about Speaker Emeritus Pelosi for my thin "keep forever" shelf. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the pic of a big conference table full of men, turd with lips pursed, arms crossed tight around his chest. Nancy is standing up, across the table from turd with a stern look and IIRC is pointing a finger at him. I think this is when she asked him "why is it with you, all roads lead to Russia?"
Mancy
Nacy
I know the photo you’re talking about and I love it too. That big-ass conference table and all the president’s men seated around it, staring shamefacedly into their folded hands, and Pelosi is the only one in the room who has the “balls” to stand up to the Orange Monster and point a finger at his fugly face. Pelosi is a fucking rock star, and I will not hear any whippersnapper armchair quarterbacks trashing her. And while I’m at it, the same goes for the godalmighty Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Teri, Nancy was a force.....but since D assumed prominence its been all just performative. She hamstrung efforts to impeach D by narrowing the scope of the investigation
My husband is alive because of her hard work passing the ACA.
🫂❤️ The ACA saved us, too. Back in the day, we couldn’t get health insurance anywhere at any price because of preexisting conditions. ObamaCare saved probably millions of lives.
I hold Nancy Pelosi is the highest esteem. But she just had hip replacement surgery in Germany after an injury. I've been emailing and calling her CA offices asking her to retire. Post-surgery rehab is difficult, and now she's in her '80s. Dems must hold the strongest line, all hands on deck. She had served us brilliantly. Unless she's in the House on a hospital bed for the resistance, time for Nancy to step down.
Nancy is another Feinstein....gonna be a burden to the effort vs. fascism. Dems spend alot of time coddling the octagenarian codgers much to the detriment to America. IMHO.
I sure hope not. I hope she announces her retirement at the end of this term. So how do you feel about Bernie? It's not the age, it's the condition.
Teri, if she can show up and vote, I say let her have the rest of her term. If not, can Gavin appoint Barbara Lee to replace her for the rest of her term? Is it snowing in Paradise? The sun came out this morning.
Ellen, that sounds right. I've seen elderly folks close up go thru at-home rehab for hips -- it's difficult and takes 2 months plus. With the House divide so close now, we can't be missing anyone! Barbara Lee would be excellent! No snow, major fog. I'm at 2,000 feet. Saw two snowplows yesterday probably moving to our higher elevations.
Governors can nominate temp replacements for Senators, but Representatives are only replaced by special election.
I would rather have Katie Porter replace her. She is another force to be reckoned with.
She just lost a close primary against Adam Schiff this election so no longer has a seat in the House.
She would scare the living Shit out of bad actors with her whiteboard , grilling them intelligently and strongly about their transgressions.
So she had her time-but she made it so AOC couldn't be a committee head-and she's great at messaging and speaking, creating momentum for the working class-unlike the guy who was appointed that nobody knows, 74 yrs old with cancer (no offense meant towards him, and i hope he gets through his health troubles but he shouldn't have accepted!!!). The old guard needs to mentor younger candidates and step aside (imo by 68, then consult and advise if they want to stay in, or just fucking enjoy some retirement). And by doing this gatekeeping, Pelosi makes it so there is absolutely no female committee leaders-just older white men!!!! Wtf!!! This infuriates me-step aside already, you've had your time!!!!
WTF wouldn't Nancy give AOC a committee chair. 😡
As we Californians like to say, no committee head who can't count. Okay, I just made that up. But as we all know, the counter in chief has always been Nancy.
Nancy stood in the way of AOC getting the committee Leadership. She wanted her old friend, as in old, to get it.
Pelosi is doing everything in her POWER to stop AOC from moving ahead, and bad-mouths Bernie Sanders at every turn.
She's dead to me, just like The Unpunished Traitor Hillary Rodham Clinton, may they both BERN in Hell. Honestly, I'd rather have an enemy I can see coming, rather than one that'll stab me in the back like those two....
Bernie Sanders has always been a saboteur.
Spoken like a true Hillaryinsta—Gods Damn her and P-Lousy!
You should be ashamed of yourself for supporting NeoLiberal Scum like those two and Schmuck Schumer over the only politician I consider WORTH supporting, Bernie Sanders.
US lawmakers older than 70 now outnumber those under age 40 by more than 3-to-1. WTF? A gerontocracy abhors real change.
When has older representatives outnumbering those under age 40 not been the case? This is nothing new.
As it turns out, many Founding Fathers were less than 40 years old in 1776 with several qualifying as Founding Teenagers and Twentysomethings. And though the average age of the signers of the Declaration of Independence was 44, more than a dozen of them were 35 or younger!
Back in the days when life expectancy was around 60 years or less?
You just know that when they're in the cloak room, those old bastards talk about "the uppity colored girl." Hell, I'm surprised they don't just say it out loud, in front of a microphone.
I don't think that is the case at all!
I don't know what goes through the so-called minds of the younger right wing members of Congress, but the old ones are the same ones who lose their shit when Confederate generals' statues are removed, and military bases and schools are renamed. They don't bother to hide their sexism and racism, even in public. Behind closed doors? There have been plenty of examples of secretly recorded conversations at fund-raisers and other events.
who isnthe uppity colored girl?? AOC? She's Latina
Jasmine Crockett. Yes, she IS wonderfully uppity! Texas needs 100 more like her.
Oh, nothing short of dynamite is going to lodge Notorious P-Lousy from the House!
I have been sick of her ever since she started bending over for Bush in the 1980s, rather than fighting the Right Wing tooth and nail. Worse, she's made political moves, like opposing Congress insider trading legislation, that really smell bad....
Love me some Ms. Jasmine... she ROCKS! \m/
AOC is pretty good, too.
Hakeem Jeffries, Amy Klobuchar, Jaime Raskin, Tammy Baldwin, Adam Schiff are great too.
Teri, what Adam Shiff did in the primary was terrible. Attacking Katie Porter...
Ooh, I hadn't seen that, thanks. I donated to Katie Porter alot. So sorry she had to give up her House seat to run for Senate.
Agree with you there. Lost a lot of respect for Schiff over that.
Porter needs to be in government in some capacity. She is a bulldog against corruption and evil doing.
I'm in Minnesota, and please believe me when I say Klobs is just another centrist whose only core values seem to be those which are exhaustingly poll tested and completely inoffensive. She'll never do anything that's difficult, despite tossing off a few quips.
Never liked her - too traditional
Thank you fellow traveler.
Add Jared Moskowitz
Crockett rocks!!
The young ones. I have faith in them.
Rooting for Dems is like rooting for the Jets....its bound sooner or later to end in failure, incompetence & frustration (& the Giants wanna join the club)
She is firebrand & adorable at the same time! Tho her targets would probably disagree with the second adjective..hehehe
::Trump may not like being called Vice-President, but that's like a puppet complaining about the controlling hand up its ass.::
Funny, Trump didn't complain when it was PUTIN's hand up his ass!
Hey, Fuck-America-Up Elmo? You want to be a Despot, move back to your native country of South Africa and try conquering it!
...I dare you—I double-dog dare you to try.... 😈
Putin owns both of them Ann, good post!!
I wonder about that - who owns who. Some days it looks like Putin sold Trump to Elmo.
I'm envisioning Putin quietly and surreptitiously pitting #PresidentMusk and convict vp against each other for pootie's 3 level chess game.
🎯👆👆👆👆
He owns them both (Putin that is.)
Very true and we should harass DJT about being co-prez with Elon. Prof. Timothy Snyder has dubbed them as the “Mumps Regime”!
I’d like to extend a magnanimous gesture of my middle finger to a certain selfish billionaire who manipulated Congress into removing a certain China business investment regulation that would have adversely impacted his AI business plans—up yours you South African traitor!
A lovers quarrel and breakup between the Loathsome Creature and the Musk-Rat would be a delightful spectacle for us. And then would the space Nazi seek revenge? Aim a rocket at Mar-a-Playpen ? The clash of toddler-titans…
I’ll second that, and properly salute your post Diane!!
I'm furious about that!!! Come March, when we are faced with this debacle again, Dems better not capitulate (esp on raising debt ceiling, hell no!!!!!!).
Good! No one expected the love affair between dump and Elonia to last! Didnt Dump post some long diatribe on his shitty app about who is really in charge? HA NO ONE.... thats the answer. NO ONE! And It’s great that Congress said Fuck You on the CR. I'd like to slap the hell outta Rand Paul, too. Why is he such a prick?
that long diatribe about Donny being in charge is fake. there are so many fake posts going around that one really need to check Donny's truth social feed before passing along any posts attributed to him
Well, crap. Thanks for the heads up.
Take umbrage to the one who did his own research but there is a magnanimous lesson in this: it’s all manipulation or gaslighting. You took a good swing at it but it was a miss is the word, we could maybe due one as good after all spectacular lies sell.
It is good news. Skippy the Dipshit and Beefy the Dancing Steer burned up a good deal of “mandate” political capital.
Good one.
Yeah, but Representative Massie is going to be square in Muck and Trumpy's pay-to-primary-out list. Not that that bothers any Dem, but yikes, who will they find that's even more extreme?!
And maybe whoever that is wont win. The more extreme they are, the dumber they are!
Assholes are created by fellow assholes Susan, look at his history!!
His neighbor had the right idea.😆😆
The Space Nazi bought the gig for Donny so Donny would give him ALL the money he needs to put a colony on Mars. But here’s a thought, how about Elon and Donny put themselves on Mars and leave the rest of us the hell alone.
Trump would never survive the trip and if he did...how are they going to transport McDonalds and KFC to Mars???
"Open the pod bay doors, Elon."
"Sorry, I can't do that, Donald."
LOL😂😂
He wouldn't fit through the pod bay doors anyhow
Hah!!
In a tube which he would never accept or understand.
Now you’re talking! That’s the ticket!
One way to Mars
This Chris!!
I'd be rooting for another SpaceX rapid unscheduled disassembly.
Oooh, I like the way you think
😇
Oooooo, yes. Now that would be a blast worth watching
Hey, Elmo—If you want to pretend to be Donny behind the keyboard, I have two words for you: CAPS LOCK.
＼(￣▽￣)／
𝕊ℙ𝕆𝕋 𝕆ℕ
That’s impressive!
!00% that tRump did not write those posts. They contain vocabulary words he has never encountered, and they contain actual punctuation.
And far fewer ALL CAPS words.
Yeah, he’s an illiterate fuck.
So are half of Americans, according to statistics.
I wonder who that half voted for...
Considering that 90 million eligible voters didn't cast a ballot, we'll never know which ones are illiterate.
Jeff, I can’t take the insanity much longer.. when will president Leon just come out and say what he really wants..like no tax on billionaires, no enforcement of the rule of law, more subsidies for his shitty space x or his shitty cars, no social security, no Medicare, no subsidies to farmers, no SNAP programs, no healthcare… and finally, nominate Miss Laura for her interpretation of “I won’t back Down” 🤮🤮🤮🤮 her sound much like a group of cats in a big burlap bag.. OYOYOY.. 4 years of this shit…. Thanks for what you do for us to keep what’s left of our sanity.
We are watching the end of western civilization jacked up on amphetamines hurling us into oblivion. It’s definitely rough on those of us in the front seat with the best view. Remember when we were singing “This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius?” That sure ain’t happening.
....according to astrology the Age of Aquarius came in 2021 or 2022 or it won't begin for 600 years. I'm betting on the 600 years it will take mankind to come around to the truth of existence. Sad that love and understanding that we are actually one are out the window for eons, and peace and good will to all men is being choked on like someone jamming it down your throat. Some men/women are unforgivable, unredeemable. But one thing for sure, the age of Pisces is getting over real quick. The church has lost its Savior in following the golden calf. The Ten Commandments direct from the hand of Moses broken into shards like the big bang that humans are commissioned to mend but have forgotten how to put the pieces together and each generation has to learn the hard way again. Our State to be sold to the highest bidder. Even if another avatar came to light on earth, landing in the USA the proles and rubes stuck in Plato's cave watching shadows on the wall, won't come out even when Messengers tell them there is a real world outside...remember the last words of 1984, "He loved Big Brother"? My MAGA brother told me he really liked Elon Musk. WTF. He was raised as a Democrat. The Age of Aquarius is surely taking its time in arriving...
Is it true that Lara Trump has "decided" the offer for the Senate? I thought I read that somewhere, that DeSatan wasnt going to appoint her?
She has pulled her name out for consideration.
Right...as I read somewhere, DeSatan hates Dump and wasn't going to appoint her...maybe Lara will be free now to pursue her god awful singing career. 😂 She says she has a big announcement to make in January. Oooooh... I can hardly wait.
Oh Dear Santa, Karma, Buddha, DON'T let Lara Trump's Jan surprise be that she's singing the Inaugural
National anthem. 🤢🤢
😂
Sweet Jesus on a tire iron to the head of The phallus phucker Fastball!!
Fredo, I googled to see if Lara Trump got an ok from Tom Petty's estate. The family sent convict a cease-and-desist when the campaign used it. Seems her "acoustic" version cleared Lara to use it (?).
She is a cover singer🤮 Nails on a chalkboard… with all that screeching I think she might lose some of those fillers in her head, her face and wherever else😱😱
I refer to Trump as PINO Trump: President In Name Only.
Thanks. We need to compile a list of alt-names.
There's an El PINO joke to be made here somewhere but I'm too distracted by current events to find it.
Thought Augusto might have been the inspiration Judy
You know you're in a shitstorm of unseen proportions when Thomas Massie when did the correct, sane thing. Holy cow.
That surprised me too considering he’s normally such a jackass.
One of the worst. He single handedly delayed the vote on the $2 trillion COVID relief bill. Even tRump was pissed at him.
Fine analogy on the mad lad toy breaking impulse.
Mad lad's mommy is a piece of work. Every mommy thinks their kid is a genius. But, wow..
She's a racist like her asshole son
Didn’t I read that there was a hardcore Nazi sympathizer in that family back in the days of brown shirts in Germany?
lest not us forget Preston Bush the father/granddad of the Bush regime selling weapons to the Nazis in the 30's......
I would not be surprised. At all.
Let’s please don’t do the “It’s all mommy’s fault” thing.
She calls Elon "Musky." Air sick bag, anyone?
Rand is begging for another ass whipping. I hope his neighbor heeds the call.
Ditto, he already paid the consequences for the first assault on that connard Brad!!
Let’s set up a Go Fund Me account in advance for Rand Paul’s neighbor. Let him know we support him. His last action set him back quite a bit financially.
Donny couldn't spell the word injudicious let alone pronounce it. Doesn't he understand when a gift is given, the recipient can do with the gift as they please. But of course he's never made a magnanimous gesture.
Wouldn’t it be interesting to have the “don” read his tweet aloud. Omg it would be torturous
Correction: he’s going to pardon all the Jan6 traitors. Is that not a magnanimous
gesture?
J'ne quois pas. A magnanimous gesture would be to pardon his enemies, not his friends.
I’m sure you meant to say je ne crois pas. Quois (with an s) does’t exist in French.
Native speaker with an Irish name (only in Quebec and Ontario).
Merci vachement. My spelling in French is truly awful
That would be a malevolent gesture. I shudder at the thought of him doing that.
A MAGAnimous gesture
Mingo, where does the restaurant server put your food? Injudicious
I had to read this three times before I got the humor. LOL.
Why didn’t the Orange Fuckwit offer to buy the Canal as he did Greenland? I guess stealing other kids toys was his modus operandi s as a child.
Probably since he enjoyed throwing rocks at kids in their playpens.
What are the chances Musk has all the passwords to DJT’s devices and can post at will? Will he too have the nuclear code? Live in the WH?
I read that Musk isn't authorized to enter many of his own Space X buildings even as CEO because he can't get a security clearance higher than Top Secret due to his known drug abuse. He was videotaped smoking weed in public with Joe Rogan and made statements about using ketamine and LSD. The boy ain't quite right ...
Wow. Do you remember where you read that, @Sharon? He seems like many who are young, appear to be very smart, and coming from a place of white privilege, assuming privilege. Unless I missed it, Warren Buffet - a different generation - and Bill Gates seem to have not exhibited similar behaviors.

So THAT'S why President Musk has so much free time to play POTUS and wanna-be King of Congress! Tesla just recalled 700,000 vehicles. For some sick reason musk and Tesla are high on my Google News feed. He .... ???? bc drug abuse?????? JFC JFC
100% that’s the biggest secret of all that Donny has given out. I’m sure Elmo also nos possesses it. There are no secrets when it comes to Trump. He always plays cards with them facing out rather than close to his chest.
And Puppet like to brag about what & who he knows and to “tell” in the belief it’s going to be made public so everyone sees how amazing he is.
Exception: recent photos of him on various Substacks in which he’s makeup-less, his hair not elaborately “styled”, and not wearing his Spanx or like brand of tummy control. The release of those photos greatly surprised me. It’s far beyond the brand & image he wants projected. It caused me to be more suspicious of what deals have been made and/or of worsening dementia.
