this is the kind of post where, while I'm writing it, I'm checking my phone every five minutes to make sure that Mitch McConnell didn't just release a 'proof of life' video
So our very stable genius woke up at 6 a.m., cracked his knuckles, and declared the Iran ceasefire he personally brokered in April to be "over" — because nothing says master gigolo dealmaker like torching your own signature achievement before the coffee's even brewed.
Then the doddering old man erupted at NATO in Ankara,promptly shit his pants, pissed himself, and then disoriented and confused, began whining that he was "very disappointed" in the allies, "testing" whether they'd show up for him — a rambling, unmoored performance from a guy who couldn't tell you what day it was.
Oil promptly jumped more than 6 fucking percent. Brent's back at $76. sanctions he lifted as the whole point of the deal? slammed right back on. three ships hit in the Strait of Hormuz. So gas already up a buck-sixteen a gallon since this genius started his little war, jet fuel up 95%, and the fertilizer that grows your goddamn groceries runs straight through that same strait.
The war he ended in April is, this morning, extremely unfinished. again, and the bill lands on us — every single goddamned time.
I wrote all this bullshit here. I was not happy about it. I had to force myself in places. And I am just NOT that much into BDSM and masochism (not kink shaming anyone btw).
I'ma waiting for Demented DonOld to jump on the I-talked-to-Mitch-for-20-minutes wagon: "I uh, spoke to Senaturr McDonald's, uh, and he, he, told me what a great, wonderful things I said to those, those NATO freeloaders, and he, uh, said it's like no one has ever seen before, uh. . ."
Oh, what a wonderful timeline we inhabit. They loaded Donnie Demento aboard Whorehouse 1 and flew him 7 time zones East… and low and behold, he is confused… who could have ever guessed?
He's IN the wrong 'home' unfortunately, and tearing it down...the nasty fuckwit. Does anyone think 'obuma or biden would've noticed those columns' he spewed? WHAT a stupid fucking prick. Excuse my venom, but both THOSE good men and FAR better Presidents on their worst days were too fucking busy concerning themselves with US, We the People instead of the utter stupidity that pumpkin head thinks is 'all important': 'We scraped 150 years of paint off those columns' blabbity blah blah....NO he didn't! He's actually having his latest NO-bid asses put in HIS choice of far more gaudy columns which do NOT fit the period of time when the White House was built. Who cares, not demento. HE thinks he's Caesar. And while President Barack Obama assuredly lives rent-free in his big, dumb pumpkin head, Joe Biden is a frequent visitor there as well. I agree with you...he needs to be in THE very worst, most abusive nursing home/mental institution in the entire world where the 'caretakers' will leave him in his own filth. NO Mr. wet wipes to the rescue.
Back in the late 90s and early 2000s I went to Hawaii every Fall for a conference. The trip West was easy. The return trip - 5 time zones East was bad. I traveled with an old friend who had had several small strokes… he was a mess much of the trip.
Yes, heading east was tougher for me. My journey was the opposite of yours-from Hawaii to the midwest for school. Luckily I was in my 20s then. Don't like to do it now.
Like he chatted with an AI hologram of Teddy Roosevelt in South Dakota. Scott Jennings and the other empty ballsack who discussed events and policies in the morgue with Mitch are craven ghouls.
Dear gods and goddesses, how I would LOVE to see that! Donny, Hegseth, Bessent, Hassett, Nutlick (or whatever his name is), Rubio, Vance, McMahon, Rollins....all of them. If ever their pants do spontaneously burn, I hope someone catches it on their phone!!! If the vid was put on pay-per-view, it would probably resolve the national debt.
Yeah, but will he RECORD it? Scott Jennings and John Thune both forgot to record their 20-minute, simulating conversations about national and international affairs. Oops!
No he has not done that yet. I think the powers that be are trying to keep him out of sight. I also think that someone needs to push to have him show proof of life or get someone into the race to replace him.
Meanwhile while Mitch is showing that rumors of him being brain dead are not disproven. Trump goes back to making war on Iran, although like Putin, he does not really call it a war. Let us see what the War Crimes tribunal will call it.
Greenland needs to get a soccer team, or join the Belgian one.
I have read theories that she is the only person who can make medical decisions, like removing life support. That's why I think McConnell is brain dead while the party waits out a chance to replace him. Which is horrendous and ghoulish but so was Mitch.
One might think that, but know that she does not need to leave to do that. The look is not good. Wife leaves dying husband's side. Or, was she sent there to get her out of the way fearing she could not play her role properly.
That reminds me of an old SNL when a young boy (Baluchi) was lying in a hospital bed in a coma after getting hit in the head with a baseball. His parents decide to finally pull the plug when he wakes up:and sees them struggling along with the doctor to yank the plug from the wall.
😂 John and Jim were classic SNL players. Jim later on had a rib place called Jimmie B's, in a little plaza on North Halsted Street in Chicago, next to Uncle Franks Hotdog Stand. I worked in the coffeehouse next door, so I did see him on a few occasions.
We are celebrating the 250th birthday of the declaration of independence. Practically the only thing most of us know about it is that the founders didn't want taxation without representation. Someone should remind the people of Kentucky that without Mitch they lack 1/2 of their representation in the senate.
dop, while I agree that it is worth a try, I also see Kentucky as a state were people have been willing to have no representation in Congress as long as they were MAGAs. I don't think they understand what representation means. My book club is reading The Conspiracists by Noelle Cook. We will finish up for next week.
It has been eye opening to understanding what people believe, but still less clear on why. It certainly suggests several areas of research. One would be on the post covid effects of people socially in the US and elsewhere in the world. We have been discussing what a hugely traumatic event it was and still is and how little it is brought up except amongst parents and teachers like myself who see the huge repercussions of Covid on students and our own children's development.
We have read Katherine Stewart's "Money, Lies and God" so we have an understanding of the Christian Nationalists, as well as from Andra Watkins. This is giving a different perspective of the world of MAGA, of the women who embrace the conspiracies like Marjorie Taylor Greene. I cannot imagine how many ill informed traumatized people are living in states that elect these people to office. It is stultifying. Each day I know to be grateful that it is not me living with such poor information in the world. This book has added another piece. We are about to read a German book,
"The Global Right: History, Conditions for Success and Impact" by Marcel Lewandowsky.
Schumer endorsed MILLS. Elizabeth Warren endorsed Platner. I have not heard nor read word one from Elizabeth Warren! Bernie is finally pulling back. Bunch of old guys mad at Susie from Maine. Looks like Susie is getting the last laugh. Democrats are too stupid to vet a candidate.
because women who speak up get treated like crap; their lives get analyzed; they get turned into the villain. Maybe she thought the earlier revelations were sufficient and she didn't have to stick her neck out. I mean, I don't know. Neither do you.
Millions of women would crawl over glass to get Project 2025 tossed to the shitpile of bad ideas. I'm disappointed one single woman couldn't dare to speak up sooner if she thought it fucking mattered. Grow a spine, women.
Why indeed. Its almost seems like she was urged by some unknown party to come forward. And all the media got the story almost immediately.
This pisses me off because Trump gets a free pass for attacking a woman and getting the courts to agree he did and told him he has to pay her reparations. His supporters are mad at her because she should consider herself lucky that Trump chose her, not a pretty woman, to molest. As should the teenage girls Trump molested. Lucky for them to be good enough for him and his pal Jeff.
But Platner has an altercation with a girl friend and its in every paper condemning him in less that 24 hours. The Republicans are probably peeing in their pants laughing about this.
Right? 77 million people voted for an adjudicated rapist sitting on 34 felonies. Platner was accused of inappropriate behavior 5 years after the fact with no charges filed and he's OUT. ffs
At the same time, just stop with the "ooh, he was inappropriate... he patted my butt... he didn't want to let me get out of his car, but I did and everything was fine..." accusations. No fucking man will ever live up to your expectations if these are the hairs we're going to split. It's life in Boomer/GenX land, which is where these guys are from. Demand they do better, but FFS stop crucifying people for far, FAR less than what we have going on in DC right now.
If women want to make sure assholes aren't running the country, then they need to put up or shut up. Speak up FIRST. Take the goddamn risk. You're not helping by Fording your way against fucking people like Kavanaugh. I'm a woman and I was cringing at her squeaky mouse-voice testimony. Holy shit. Grow a SPINE. HELP US.
She spoke up about it to several people when it happened; the therapist still has the notes. At that time he wasn't anybody prominent, but still, nothing happened to him in consequence.
In the current campaign, she says she felt conflicted because she despises Susan Collins and agreed with Platner on policy positions, and she hoped that the others who spoke up would suffice.
Of course she knew that speaking up would expose her to accusations from the like of you and rlritt.
I wondered that too. Read today that she thought her interview with the Times was sufficient and was stunned when people continued to make excuses for him.
I'm not making excuses. If he did what he did, it was wrong. If nothing was done about it, it was wrong. But making it a goddamn blinking red light vapors fainting couch issue about it NOW is also wrong. WTF, do women really think he's going to legalize rape or something? Wake TF up, ladies. You're ALREADY BEING RAPED. His dick will never touch you, but his stances against the fascist pigs in control right now will could maybe save you from worse. And yeah, we're at the "could maybe" point, because shit's off the rails for all of us.
You're right, heads in the clouds. Its too bad we have no power in a Republican controlled government. But we hold our heads up proudly as people with no health care die and immigrants sit in concentration camps.
Shouldn't that be left up to the residents of Maine? Elizabeth Warren does not live in or represent Maine voters. Why are you expecting **her** to come up with who his replacement should be?
I don't have time to read all of these comments, but it's definitely tiring to hear the, "Democrats are at fault for Republicans" narratives. So don't vote for Democrats, because they're why we have Republicans. I realize it's just trolling, but it's tiring, and I also realize that's exactly their goal. But I'm still voting.
If he is dead, how will we tell the difference from when he’s “alive”? 😁 I love the top photo of the dead sack of trash held up by more trash. And the 20 minute talk (to himself, no doubt) by Scott Jennings 🤣🤣 Yes, let’s go to the hospital and film Mitch since he’s such a chatterbox about all things worldly! 🙄
Then there are people who automatically go in the Good Category when there is a picture of them sleeping soundly next to their pet! 🩷
You know, it suddenly occurred to me--why in the world would the Republicans hesitate to admit Moscow Mitch is brain dead? That describes 90% of the party and its voters, so who would notice a difference?
These people talk to Glitch but they don’t say that he talked back to them. They’re so weird. The republican people have fallen below having a sense of pride in themselves
That was the best Donnie temper tantrum meme ever
Thank you for sharing Daily Claudia. She’s always soothing to the soul. Her facial expressions say everything’s going to be alright 💕
Jeff, I think the skeleton crew at what’s left of the NYT reads your posts before they decide, “Hey, that Jeff wise guy got away with writing about Glitch, maybe we should?” You posted about it Monday, and then they did Tuesday. I don’t give them my money, but I get their clickbait in my email.
Scott Jennings: "What a joy it is to live in the world of Bad Faith. Where I can lie and say whatever I want and the Good Faith guys can't keep up. CNN keeps me on the screen so I can represent the Liars Audience. Love the money flowing in! Hey Trump Family, what do you want me to say next?"
speaking of which, I got a SHITLOAD of canceled paid subscriptions yesterday. now, canceled subscriptions are a part of life. I get two or three every day. it happens. but yesterday it was like twenty. and I have to wonder, was it because I called for Platner to drop out?
I'm beginning to seriously doubt that Shitler will make it to the November midterms. At least he won't get his bunker-hospital wing of the WH completed in time. Iran and the Islamic Republic of Japan will be celebrating together.
I can’t imagine why people would leave you and this space but who knows? Trump-o-nomics is really hitting some folks hard. 20 all at once on one day is strange.
But, Platner, like Swalwell, or any other discovered to be cheating/abusing candidate (Paxton GoP in Texas) needs to drop out.
Swallwell did but his delay was damaging. Platner’s could be fatal. The clock is ticking. We know what happens when we have last minute campaigns.
Trump leads by example so Paxton won’t drop, but that could be to Talarico’s advantage. Just thinking out loud here.
But bottom line, Dems/Dem Socialists should take a higher ethics stance IMHO.
Why should Paxton drop out? They don't care if he was impeached on 15 counts of abuse. (Not convicted). And he's in the lead in Texas against Telerico, who is boy scout.
Actually, the newest polls have them tied, or Talarico slightly ahead. I live in Texas and everyone I’ve spoken with, including republicans and independents are sick of Paxton.
Do you pay attention? How often do women tell the police and nothing happens? Going to the cops - it's hard. Rape kit exams (if done) are intrusive and often never analyzed. Cops don't believe women.
And especially if the woman was in a relationship with the rapist--because, y'know, if she was already having sex with him before, then what's the difference this time? And, if they weren't having sex, then obviously this is just a case of her changing her mind after the fact. Or maybe they had a fight and she's just mad.
Of course, if the rapist was a stranger, then she was where she shouldn't have been, dressed to ask for it, doing something she shouldn't have been doing, etc., etc.
Brother Jeff, I think it’s a good indication of where our economy is at. People tightening up financially. Especially with the daily bruising we see of things getting worse and nothing getting better. We’ve been hit by the Trumplestiltskein asteroid here.
I would never cancel you because I disagree about Platner. I personally think its a republican hit job, but I see your point. If enough people dont vote for him, susan Collins stays. She'll probably win now but occasionally, when not important, she'll vote with the Democrats.
You still write my favorite column above all. You're hysterical. And your marriage sounds like it was wonderful.
I just started my subscription! I've followed you forever. I think your "Daily Claudia" is a great idea. For you, as well as for us. It reminds us to love our favorite people, and to hang on...just a bit longer. I look forward to seeing you every day. It's nice to know im not the only one to see the insanity going on. Now if only someone would actually DO something about it.
Nowadays, holding the moral high ground (the real high ground, not the lip-service bullshit conservative version), can be a lonely and precarious perch
Well I am not dropping out. I never liked the Maine Nazi boy and I also believe the women. I may not have a right to say this as I was only an American Per resident for 11 years in NH and am now back in Canada for good but seriously - the man was scum from day 1. If people dropped you for saying the truth - then they do not know you at all. Neither do I really but I like your truth talking and love your Mrs Spouse pics and stories. Hopefully more people will find you. Of course they might be Mitch lovers too.......
No, Uncle Jeff. A lot of misogynists are upset that anyone has a problem with men sexually abusing women. You know, it’s the “boys will be boys” assholes and their female apologists who are spitting mad that this guy is being held accountable.
How arrogant of Platner to think this wouldn’t come out and no one would care.
Lawrence did a great piece on Planter last night. It was a master class in journalism. I’m pissed as fuck at his arrogant ass thinking no one would find out about his abhorrent behavior! And the working class hero shit he was peddling was a lie also. He came from money. His grandfather designed the dinning room at the Windows on The World restaurant and his father was a successful lawyer. He possibly blew our chance to take back the Senate. So six fucking more years of being concerned 🤨🙄
I wouldn't say that. There are enough angry Dems in southern Maine to outvote those ignorant MAGA in northern Maine. I just wish I didn't have to live among those ignorant fucks.
The thing was, Platner was a questionable sort from the beginning....but he seemed to be offering the platform voters wanted, and it also seemed that he had a redemption story. It's a fucking mess.
I loved platner's message but my question is why is there a double standard for dems vs Republicons? I know the dem establishment will love him dropping out and sure they will replace him with another wall street, neoliberal lackey that will lose.
Because it is not a moral or good thing to normalize rape as an okay thing for someone to hold office. Jesus, when will you men get it into your fucking heads that it is a GOD DAMNED TRAUMATIC CRIME?!
So what the fuck? You want to sleaze down to their level? It is highly disturbing that you keep what abouting about Fucking RAPE! Dude, you are a complete misogynist and it’s disgusting. Join MAGA — you’ll fit in much better.
ur comment is out of line and you don't know me....my comment is an observation....as I said, the neoliberal dem establishment hates any candidate that challenges the current rigged system so his past alleged rapes, etc. is very convenient for the ruling class side of the dem party
Trump is NOT a "convicted rapist." He was held LIABLE for sexual assault in a civil trial, which has a lower burden of proof and carries no criminal penalties. The judge in the trial likened it to rape, but said it wasn't so under NY law. Some people have thus been calling Trump an "adjudicated rapist," which is factually correct if legally meaningless.
Maybe people are struggling financially, Jeff, and cutting back where they can. I'm keeping all my independent journalism subscriptions, but I've cut way back on non-essentials. We even stopped buying alcohol! Now that's devotion to fiduciary responsibility. ;-)
People like me are really coming to terms with the new economy and the drop of the dollar, if you are living ing another country or just visiting it is a big hit
If people unsubscribe because of your views on Platner then they weren’t worth having. Oh, and your picture of Weekend at Mitch’s is priceless!!! Copied and sent to all my friends! Thanks!!
Good. He never should have run to begin with, since he basically handed Collins a win on a silver platter, but at least he'll be gone until next election cycle when he runs as a Republican.
Alex Wagner had a great rant with Tim Miller on his podcast yesterday. Toxic masculinity thinking he can not only get through this while lying about everything but then taking time to badger the state Dem Chair about who they should select in his place. Unbelievable. What an asshole.
Jeff, you forgot to mention the “very long conversation” Donald had with Putin the night before the NATO conference.. It seems he received his orders and employee review all at the same time.. 🤮🫨
U do a great job covering the latest.. it’s just that fire hose of disinformation that keeps all of us wide eyed.. can’t cover everything.. Best to You.
Trying to keep up with breaking news will make you like Lucy and Ethyl in the chocolate factory. It's the bitingly piquant wit and wry point of view that keep us coming back -- it's not your job to be CNN or whatever news source we dare to trust these days.
Dating back to the 80’s.. it’s hard to think that whatever he did in Russia, he did not stop to think everything is recorded… and no one told him? How dumb can you be?
I bet every Republican who is covering for him is being blackmailed in some way. Or maybe they’re all a bunch of immoral assholes. Maybe a bit of both. 🤦♀️. Maybe he and Mitch can go out together.
I bet they are immoral assholes. Is there anyone in the republican party willing to admit that democrats have just as much right to make there case and win voters? Not that I can tell.
Oh, he's stuck on his back alright. I just cannot believe his wife would have dashed to China if he were actually recovering and not definitively brain dead or dead.
YES! He creeped me out from the beginning. His blind followers are no different than the mindless MAGA. Why does everyone want to play victim? Why can’t we just make this country what we want it to be?
“Weekend at Mitch’s” is funny until you remember this is how a dying empire handles power: no proof, no accountability, just three Republicans swearing they had a lovely twenty-minute chat with the hospital fog machine. Meanwhile Trump waddles into NATO, whines that nobody helped with his don’t-call-it-a-war war, threatens Greenland like a drunk pirate with dementia, insults allies, then falls asleep in public while Belgium does his YMCA jerk-dance over America’s World Cup corpse. This is not leadership. It is a nursing home coup with international roaming charges.
Yes it's true. I went to the Iceland Phallological Museum in Reykjavik. There's a whole wall devoted to LBJ. Raucous stories. I took pictures. I'm thinking that's where the euphemism Johnson originates.
this is the kind of post where, while I'm writing it, I'm checking my phone every five minutes to make sure that Mitch McConnell didn't just release a 'proof of life' video
Well here, Ill cheer you the fuck up Jeff.
So our very stable genius woke up at 6 a.m., cracked his knuckles, and declared the Iran ceasefire he personally brokered in April to be "over" — because nothing says master gigolo dealmaker like torching your own signature achievement before the coffee's even brewed.
Then the doddering old man erupted at NATO in Ankara,promptly shit his pants, pissed himself, and then disoriented and confused, began whining that he was "very disappointed" in the allies, "testing" whether they'd show up for him — a rambling, unmoored performance from a guy who couldn't tell you what day it was.
Oil promptly jumped more than 6 fucking percent. Brent's back at $76. sanctions he lifted as the whole point of the deal? slammed right back on. three ships hit in the Strait of Hormuz. So gas already up a buck-sixteen a gallon since this genius started his little war, jet fuel up 95%, and the fertilizer that grows your goddamn groceries runs straight through that same strait.
The war he ended in April is, this morning, extremely unfinished. again, and the bill lands on us — every single goddamned time.

I'ma waiting for Demented DonOld to jump on the I-talked-to-Mitch-for-20-minutes wagon: "I uh, spoke to Senaturr McDonald's, uh, and he, he, told me what a great, wonderful things I said to those, those NATO freeloaders, and he, uh, said it's like no one has ever seen before, uh. . ."
Oh, what a wonderful timeline we inhabit. They loaded Donnie Demento aboard Whorehouse 1 and flew him 7 time zones East… and low and behold, he is confused… who could have ever guessed?
Isn't this elder abuse? He should be in a home.
I kind of like that he’s getting abused - he deserves every fucking bad thing to happen to him.
I was kidding. He does need abuse
I think perhaps you mean WE’RE being abused. Abused BY an elderly 🍊🤡🐖y
yes, I was joking. ; )
Love it!
He's IN the wrong 'home' unfortunately, and tearing it down...the nasty fuckwit. Does anyone think 'obuma or biden would've noticed those columns' he spewed? WHAT a stupid fucking prick. Excuse my venom, but both THOSE good men and FAR better Presidents on their worst days were too fucking busy concerning themselves with US, We the People instead of the utter stupidity that pumpkin head thinks is 'all important': 'We scraped 150 years of paint off those columns' blabbity blah blah....NO he didn't! He's actually having his latest NO-bid asses put in HIS choice of far more gaudy columns which do NOT fit the period of time when the White House was built. Who cares, not demento. HE thinks he's Caesar. And while President Barack Obama assuredly lives rent-free in his big, dumb pumpkin head, Joe Biden is a frequent visitor there as well. I agree with you...he needs to be in THE very worst, most abusive nursing home/mental institution in the entire world where the 'caretakers' will leave him in his own filth. NO Mr. wet wipes to the rescue.
I agree with you, Maui!!! Well stated!!💙
I only went from Hawaii time to Eastern and it took me days to get my internal clock reset — 71 years old here.
That's true, but he does this all the time even in meetings in the US, so I don't think that's the problem.
He even fell asleep during the yooge Biggest Ever Fireworks Show Like No One Has Ever Seen Before
Back in the late 90s and early 2000s I went to Hawaii every Fall for a conference. The trip West was easy. The return trip - 5 time zones East was bad. I traveled with an old friend who had had several small strokes… he was a mess much of the trip.
Yes, heading east was tougher for me. My journey was the opposite of yours-from Hawaii to the midwest for school. Luckily I was in my 20s then. Don't like to do it now.
I'll be flying to Barcelona from the west coast. I'm old and not really looking forward to it.
Like he chatted with an AI hologram of Teddy Roosevelt in South Dakota. Scott Jennings and the other empty ballsack who discussed events and policies in the morgue with Mitch are craven ghouls.
Maybe that's what's going on: they're working on AI Moscow Mitch and it's taking a while to make sure he doesn't have six fingers on each hand.
Hasn't he got six in real life?
He has flippers
Oh! Excellent point! I hadn't thought of that.
Jennings sliding eyes were the “tell”…. liar liar pants on fire.
Just once I wanna see these useless shits really have their pants catch on fire! 😡🔥🔥
Dear gods and goddesses, how I would LOVE to see that! Donny, Hegseth, Bessent, Hassett, Nutlick (or whatever his name is), Rubio, Vance, McMahon, Rollins....all of them. If ever their pants do spontaneously burn, I hope someone catches it on their phone!!! If the vid was put on pay-per-view, it would probably resolve the national debt.
He has always been a pos
Nah. They're just liars.
＼(￣▽￣)／
This, exactly!
🤣🤣
That's perfect.
Yeah, but will he RECORD it? Scott Jennings and John Thune both forgot to record their 20-minute, simulating conversations about national and international affairs. Oops!
...with tears in his eyes, big strong manly tears...
The tab is now over 100 billion, and of course, growing daily
… and you mention the Alberta separatists…. Wtf? Very interesting Demark/scientist story! Thanks for the tips at the end also!
Always welcome Tess.
This is also copraphelia. I won't explain to the crowd, but look up "hot Carl" and "dirty Sanchez" to get an idea.
No he has not done that yet. I think the powers that be are trying to keep him out of sight. I also think that someone needs to push to have him show proof of life or get someone into the race to replace him.
Meanwhile while Mitch is showing that rumors of him being brain dead are not disproven. Trump goes back to making war on Iran, although like Putin, he does not really call it a war. Let us see what the War Crimes tribunal will call it.
Greenland needs to get a soccer team, or join the Belgian one.
What I find mysterious is that within days McConnell's wife took off for China. What's that all about?
That is what made me think he has already died. Who would leave their seriously ill husband to go abroad on such a trip otherwise?
I have read theories that she is the only person who can make medical decisions, like removing life support. That's why I think McConnell is brain dead while the party waits out a chance to replace him. Which is horrendous and ghoulish but so was Mitch.
That is again, why I suspect he might be already dead, because she is gone.
She went for instructions from her handlers
One might think that, but know that she does not need to leave to do that. The look is not good. Wife leaves dying husband's side. Or, was she sent there to get her out of the way fearing she could not play her role properly.
Exactly
We don't know what is going on, but the look of her leaving is not good.
I think Mitch is dead and she’s having him cremated . She will pick him up when she gets back or the ashes were sent to China.
Yup! The secrecy certainly leads to speculation. Especially because the Republicans are the party of the lying liars.
Same.
Just all so corrupt and dishonest.
That reminds me of an old SNL when a young boy (Baluchi) was lying in a hospital bed in a coma after getting hit in the head with a baseball. His parents decide to finally pull the plug when he wakes up:and sees them struggling along with the doctor to yank the plug from the wall.
😂 John and Jim were classic SNL players. Jim later on had a rib place called Jimmie B's, in a little plaza on North Halsted Street in Chicago, next to Uncle Franks Hotdog Stand. I worked in the coffeehouse next door, so I did see him on a few occasions.
We are celebrating the 250th birthday of the declaration of independence. Practically the only thing most of us know about it is that the founders didn't want taxation without representation. Someone should remind the people of Kentucky that without Mitch they lack 1/2 of their representation in the senate.
dop, while I agree that it is worth a try, I also see Kentucky as a state were people have been willing to have no representation in Congress as long as they were MAGAs.

It has been eye opening to understanding what people believe, but still less clear on why. It certainly suggests several areas of research. One would be on the post covid effects of people socially in the US and elsewhere in the world. We have been discussing what a hugely traumatic event it was and still is and how little it is brought up except amongst parents and teachers like myself who see the huge repercussions of Covid on students and our own children's development.
Beshear should go in person to McConnell’s hospital room and take TMZ with him.
- Ginuts
Yes.
That book looks super interesting.
It is.
We have read Katherine Stewart's "Money, Lies and God" so we have an understanding of the Christian Nationalists, as well as from Andra Watkins. This is giving a different perspective of the world of MAGA, of the women who embrace the conspiracies like Marjorie Taylor Greene. I cannot imagine how many ill informed traumatized people are living in states that elect these people to office. It is stultifying. Each day I know to be grateful that it is not me living with such poor information in the world. This book has added another piece. We are about to read a German book,
"The Global Right: History, Conditions for Success and Impact" by Marcel Lewandowsky.
I have Stewart's book next to my bed. I just can't get through it. It's too depressing. What kind of book club are you in? That is some heavy stuff.
Schumer kinda quiet?…😒
Good. He brings nothing to the table.
Schumer endorsed MILLS. Elizabeth Warren endorsed Platner. I have not heard nor read word one from Elizabeth Warren! Bernie is finally pulling back. Bunch of old guys mad at Susie from Maine. Looks like Susie is getting the last laugh. Democrats are too stupid to vet a candidate.
You are uninformed.
Warren and Sanders immediately withdrew their endorsements,
days ago.
The Democratic Party should be proud that we stand for decency,
even when it’s a tough call politically!
Meanwhile the GOP is all in on Paxton and still covering up the
Epstein files for Donnie.
The contrast couldn’t be more obvious!
We are the real moral majority!
Why didn’t this lady come forward when the initial brouhaha was happening? Just asking questions
because women who speak up get treated like crap; their lives get analyzed; they get turned into the villain. Maybe she thought the earlier revelations were sufficient and she didn't have to stick her neck out. I mean, I don't know. Neither do you.
Anita Hill
Christine Blasey Ford
Virginia Giuffre
True that
Millions of women would crawl over glass to get Project 2025 tossed to the shitpile of bad ideas. I'm disappointed one single woman couldn't dare to speak up sooner if she thought it fucking mattered. Grow a spine, women.
Thank you, Anne.
Why indeed. Its almost seems like she was urged by some unknown party to come forward. And all the media got the story almost immediately.
This pisses me off because Trump gets a free pass for attacking a woman and getting the courts to agree he did and told him he has to pay her reparations. His supporters are mad at her because she should consider herself lucky that Trump chose her, not a pretty woman, to molest. As should the teenage girls Trump molested. Lucky for them to be good enough for him and his pal Jeff.
But Platner has an altercation with a girl friend and its in every paper condemning him in less that 24 hours. The Republicans are probably peeing in their pants laughing about this.
Right? 77 million people voted for an adjudicated rapist sitting on 34 felonies. Platner was accused of inappropriate behavior 5 years after the fact with no charges filed and he's OUT. ffs
What a stroke of luck… almost exactly like the Biden push out with 100 days to go… makes D’s look like they keep making the same mistakes.
I am wondering the same thing, seemed to me she "released" her story then next she was being interviewed by Jake Tapper? How is that posible?
At the same time, just stop with the "ooh, he was inappropriate... he patted my butt... he didn't want to let me get out of his car, but I did and everything was fine..." accusations. No fucking man will ever live up to your expectations if these are the hairs we're going to split. It's life in Boomer/GenX land, which is where these guys are from. Demand they do better, but FFS stop crucifying people for far, FAR less than what we have going on in DC right now.
If women want to make sure assholes aren't running the country, then they need to put up or shut up. Speak up FIRST. Take the goddamn risk. You're not helping by Fording your way against fucking people like Kavanaugh. I'm a woman and I was cringing at her squeaky mouse-voice testimony. Holy shit. Grow a SPINE. HELP US.
Agree. Was this timing planned? Not saying she's lying, but did someone encourage her to wait?
She spoke up about it to several people when it happened; the therapist still has the notes. At that time he wasn't anybody prominent, but still, nothing happened to him in consequence.
In the current campaign, she says she felt conflicted because she despises Susan Collins and agreed with Platner on policy positions, and she hoped that the others who spoke up would suffice.
Of course she knew that speaking up would expose her to accusations from the like of you and rlritt.
👆
I wondered that too. Read today that she thought her interview with the Times was sufficient and was stunned when people continued to make excuses for him.
I'm not making excuses. If he did what he did, it was wrong. If nothing was done about it, it was wrong. But making it a goddamn blinking red light vapors fainting couch issue about it NOW is also wrong. WTF, do women really think he's going to legalize rape or something? Wake TF up, ladies. You're ALREADY BEING RAPED. His dick will never touch you, but his stances against the fascist pigs in control right now will could maybe save you from worse. And yeah, we're at the "could maybe" point, because shit's off the rails for all of us.
You're right, heads in the clouds. Its too bad we have no power in a Republican controlled government. But we hold our heads up proudly as people with no health care die and immigrants sit in concentration camps.
Mary pointed out, correctly, that Warren was one of Platner's endorsers and has not said anything about who should replace him.
Shouldn't that be left up to the residents of Maine? Elizabeth Warren does not live in or represent Maine voters. Why are you expecting **her** to come up with who his replacement should be?
Why did **she** endorse him in the first place, then?
"Democrats are too stupid to vet a candidate."
Have you SEEN trump lately?
I don't have time to read all of these comments, but it's definitely tiring to hear the, "Democrats are at fault for Republicans" narratives. So don't vote for Democrats, because they're why we have Republicans. I realize it's just trolling, but it's tiring, and I also realize that's exactly their goal. But I'm still voting.
Or the Republicans are good at digging up and amplifying dirt.
I meant are there LEGAL RULES to declaring if a Senator is unable to do their job.
I heard Warren withdrew her endorsement asap.
Likely why Schumer supported Mills - a more even swap with experienced, older Collins? I did not think that was crazy at all.
(Same with Biden running on the incumbent card. These old guys sometimes have instincts that come with marinating in this shyte for decades, idk)
Mills already faced the voters and did not perform well. Resurrecting her campaign now looks really suicidal.
Understood - I just meant initially (I mean na zi tattoos are unnerving)…

Wow. You really added to the conversation with your uniformed opinion.
Jenny Racicot did come forward anonymously months ago but nobody believed her until she publicly stated her name.
Maybe he's dead as well?
If he is dead, how will we tell the difference from when he’s “alive”? 😁 I love the top photo of the dead sack of trash held up by more trash. And the 20 minute talk (to himself, no doubt) by Scott Jennings 🤣🤣 Yes, let’s go to the hospital and film Mitch since he’s such a chatterbox about all things worldly! 🙄
Then there are people who automatically go in the Good Category when there is a picture of them sleeping soundly next to their pet! 🩷
- - -
Not his caucus. & the Rs have the majority even if Mitch's seat is empty.
Those 20 minute conversations with Mitch were mostly one sided with an occasional interruption from his ventilator.
You know, it suddenly occurred to me--why in the world would the Republicans hesitate to admit Moscow Mitch is brain dead? That describes 90% of the party and its voters, so who would notice a difference?
😂
And his wife who would have to be the one to take him off life support just had an urgent need to skiddadle to China.
These people talk to Glitch but they don’t say that he talked back to them. They’re so weird. The republican people have fallen below having a sense of pride in themselves
That was the best Donnie temper tantrum meme ever
Thank you for sharing Daily Claudia. She’s always soothing to the soul. Her facial expressions say everything’s going to be alright 💕
Jeff, I think the skeleton crew at what’s left of the NYT reads your posts before they decide, “Hey, that Jeff wise guy got away with writing about Glitch, maybe we should?” You posted about it Monday, and then they did Tuesday. I don’t give them my money, but I get their clickbait in my email.
https://bsky.app/profile/gtconway.bsky.social/post/3mq56hjp5is2y
Conway got in on it.
Scott Jennings: "What a joy it is to live in the world of Bad Faith. Where I can lie and say whatever I want and the Good Faith guys can't keep up. CNN keeps me on the screen so I can represent the Liars Audience. Love the money flowing in! Hey Trump Family, what do you want me to say next?"
good ol Scott Jennings eyes were shifting around everywhere as he was talking. Not the entire truth there, was it Scott
🤣🤣🤣
You know that’ll be AI slop, right?
today in Shit That Happened While I Was Busy Writing This Shit—
it looks like Planter's going to drop out
https://www.cnn.com/2026/07/08/politics/graham-platner-campaign-strategy?cid=android_app
speaking of which, I got a SHITLOAD of canceled paid subscriptions yesterday. now, canceled subscriptions are a part of life. I get two or three every day. it happens. but yesterday it was like twenty. and I have to wonder, was it because I called for Platner to drop out?
oh well, c'est la vie.
I'm not whining, I'm just wondering
I guess the Let's-Normalize-Rape crowd is really disappointed in you Uncle Jeff. I'm sorry you lost subscribers, but GOOD GOING!
Just think where we would be had our fine white Christian male senators listened to Anita Hill and Christine Blasey Ford.
Or Jean Carroll. Oh wait, they did believe her. They just prefer winning.
Get this shit Jeff https://youtube.com/shorts/Js9ikzjR9ow?si=QxpiEKNpFbzsY2xD
Yes, it burns.
Also, it’s 10:15 CDST and so far, Platner hasn’t made a move to go away yet. Apparently he wants to name his successor.
I’m just sorry that trump didn’t fall out of his chair in front of the world. Maybe today?
I'm beginning to seriously doubt that Shitler will make it to the November midterms. At least he won't get his bunker-hospital wing of the WH completed in time. Iran and the Islamic Republic of Japan will be celebrating together.
From your comment go god’s ears.
I can’t imagine why people would leave you and this space but who knows? Trump-o-nomics is really hitting some folks hard. 20 all at once on one day is strange.
But, Platner, like Swalwell, or any other discovered to be cheating/abusing candidate (Paxton GoP in Texas) needs to drop out.
Swallwell did but his delay was damaging. Platner’s could be fatal. The clock is ticking. We know what happens when we have last minute campaigns.
Trump leads by example so Paxton won’t drop, but that could be to Talarico’s advantage. Just thinking out loud here.
But bottom line, Dems/Dem Socialists should take a higher ethics stance IMHO.
Why should Paxton drop out? They don't care if he was impeached on 15 counts of abuse. (Not convicted). And he's in the lead in Texas against Telerico, who is boy scout.
No, Paxton isn't. I just looked up the latest polls. One has them tied. The other Talarico with a slight lead.
Meanwhile Paxton is in the news for spending our 250th in London with his mistress, and also for apparenly voting from the wrong address repeatedly.
Actually, the newest polls have them tied, or Talarico slightly ahead. I live in Texas and everyone I’ve spoken with, including republicans and independents are sick of Paxton.
I was suspicious of Platner from the beginning, the tattoo and all.
But I was keeping my fingers crossed that he was being truthful.
That all fell apart when I heard the lastest from this woman.
She was telling friends about it years before he was even running.
Contemporaneous evidence sealed the deal.
You were right to call for his calling off of the campaign.
She told friends? Why not the police?
Do you pay attention? How often do women tell the police and nothing happens? Going to the cops - it's hard. Rape kit exams (if done) are intrusive and often never analyzed. Cops don't believe women.
And especially if the woman was in a relationship with the rapist--because, y'know, if she was already having sex with him before, then what's the difference this time? And, if they weren't having sex, then obviously this is just a case of her changing her mind after the fact. Or maybe they had a fight and she's just mad.
Of course, if the rapist was a stranger, then she was where she shouldn't have been, dressed to ask for it, doing something she shouldn't have been doing, etc., etc.
We live in the weirdest of times.
I’m in Maine, I knew he was an asshole and would have voted for him but after this, I’m out.
Brother Jeff, I think it’s a good indication of where our economy is at. People tightening up financially. Especially with the daily bruising we see of things getting worse and nothing getting better. We’ve been hit by the Trumplestiltskein asteroid here.
Hopefully you get 4-5 new converts everyday to make up with the few that leave you.
Troubled economic times can lead to people cutting back.
I would never cancel you because I disagree about Platner. I personally think its a republican hit job, but I see your point. If enough people dont vote for him, susan Collins stays. She'll probably win now but occasionally, when not important, she'll vote with the Democrats.
You still write my favorite column above all. You're hysterical. And your marriage sounds like it was wonderful.
I just started my subscription! I've followed you forever. I think your "Daily Claudia" is a great idea. For you, as well as for us. It reminds us to love our favorite people, and to hang on...just a bit longer. I look forward to seeing you every day. It's nice to know im not the only one to see the insanity going on. Now if only someone would actually DO something about it.
Thank you, Jeff.
Nowadays, holding the moral high ground (the real high ground, not the lip-service bullshit conservative version), can be a lonely and precarious perch
To bad that lip service works.
FUCK RUMP!!!! THEY'RE ISOLATING AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!!!FUCK RUMP!!!!!
Yeah, probably. But if they really can't handle the truth, then I guess hope the door didn't hit them in the ass on the way out
Well I am not dropping out. I never liked the Maine Nazi boy and I also believe the women. I may not have a right to say this as I was only an American Per resident for 11 years in NH and am now back in Canada for good but seriously - the man was scum from day 1. If people dropped you for saying the truth - then they do not know you at all. Neither do I really but I like your truth talking and love your Mrs Spouse pics and stories. Hopefully more people will find you. Of course they might be Mitch lovers too.......
I will re-up! Platner was a bad choice from the beginning. I also had comments made about my dislike of Platner. Looks like you and I were right!
No, Uncle Jeff. A lot of misogynists are upset that anyone has a problem with men sexually abusing women. You know, it’s the “boys will be boys” assholes and their female apologists who are spitting mad that this guy is being held accountable.
How arrogant of Platner to think this wouldn’t come out and no one would care.
Major Hubris.
Lawrence did a great piece on Planter last night. It was a master class in journalism. I’m pissed as fuck at his arrogant ass thinking no one would find out about his abhorrent behavior! And the working class hero shit he was peddling was a lie also. He came from money. His grandfather designed the dinning room at the Windows on The World restaurant and his father was a successful lawyer. He possibly blew our chance to take back the Senate. So six fucking more years of being concerned 🤨🙄
I wouldn't say that. There are enough angry Dems in southern Maine to outvote those ignorant MAGA in northern Maine. I just wish I didn't have to live among those ignorant fucks.
In 6 more years of Republicans there wont be another election.
The thing was, Platner was a questionable sort from the beginning....but he seemed to be offering the platform voters wanted, and it also seemed that he had a redemption story. It's a fucking mess.
You're in good company, as everyone but MAGA chuds was saying the same thing
I loved platner's message but my question is why is there a double standard for dems vs Republicons? I know the dem establishment will love him dropping out and sure they will replace him with another wall street, neoliberal lackey that will lose.
Because it is not a moral or good thing to normalize rape as an okay thing for someone to hold office. Jesus, when will you men get it into your fucking heads that it is a GOD DAMNED TRAUMATIC CRIME?!
but only for dems, right? the Rs continue to win regardless as evidenced by a convicted rapist in white house
it is just as bad for republicans. But they don't care. I'm glad I belong to a party that cares about right and wrong.
look where that has gotten the dems today
So what the fuck? You want to sleaze down to their level? It is highly disturbing that you keep what abouting about Fucking RAPE! Dude, you are a complete misogynist and it’s disgusting. Join MAGA — you’ll fit in much better.
ur comment is out of line and you don't know me....my comment is an observation....as I said, the neoliberal dem establishment hates any candidate that challenges the current rigged system so his past alleged rapes, etc. is very convenient for the ruling class side of the dem party
Trump is NOT a "convicted rapist." He was held LIABLE for sexual assault in a civil trial, which has a lower burden of proof and carries no criminal penalties. The judge in the trial likened it to rape, but said it wasn't so under NY law. Some people have thus been calling Trump an "adjudicated rapist," which is factually correct if legally meaningless.
I stand corrected but if he wasn't convicted why was there millions in the judgement which is a penalty?
Still a crime
Why indeed.
Maybe people are struggling financially, Jeff, and cutting back where they can. I'm keeping all my independent journalism subscriptions, but I've cut way back on non-essentials. We even stopped buying alcohol! Now that's devotion to fiduciary responsibility. ;-)
Uncle Jeff, calling for Platner to drop out was the right move. Thank you for taking a stand!
People like me are really coming to terms with the new economy and the drop of the dollar, if you are living ing another country or just visiting it is a big hit
I find it very disturbing that people can no longer have an opinion that differs from your own! WTF, nothing wrong with thinking differently!
If people unsubscribe because of your views on Platner then they weren’t worth having. Oh, and your picture of Weekend at Mitch’s is priceless!!! Copied and sent to all my friends! Thanks!!
https://www.levernews.com/corporate-dems-are-weaponizing-graham-platners-demise/?utm_medium=newsletter-email&utm_campaign=newsletter-article&ref=lever-reports-newsletter
NO!!! THEY'VE HACKED SUBSTACK!
he should have dropped out already. But Bernie calling on him to drop out yesterday was the last nail in the coffin.
Good. He never should have run to begin with, since he basically handed Collins a win on a silver platter, but at least he'll be gone until next election cycle when he runs as a Republican.
I thought the same thing Lucius.
Alex Wagner had a great rant with Tim Miller on his podcast yesterday. Toxic masculinity thinking he can not only get through this while lying about everything but then taking time to badger the state Dem Chair about who they should select in his place. Unbelievable. What an asshole.
Sociopathic narcissist behavior.
He can always run for president - as a Republican.
He should run as a Republican. He would be welcomed with open arms.
Maybe 20 minutes is all the AI bot response that can be generated. Chances are an AI 'proof of life' video is being created as we speak.

Thank goodness!
Jeff, you forgot to mention the “very long conversation” Donald had with Putin the night before the NATO conference.. It seems he received his orders and employee review all at the same time.. 🤮🫨
I know. everyday is such a firehose of fuckery that the question is always 'do I leave this out, or do I keep writing until noon?'
U do a great job covering the latest.. it’s just that fire hose of disinformation that keeps all of us wide eyed.. can’t cover everything.. Best to You.
Trying to keep up with breaking news will make you like Lucy and Ethyl in the chocolate factory. It's the bitingly piquant wit and wry point of view that keep us coming back -- it's not your job to be CNN or whatever news source we dare to trust these days.
Noon the following day, if you tried to get it all posted......
Golden shower blackmail very effective
Dating back to the 80’s.. it’s hard to think that whatever he did in Russia, he did not stop to think everything is recorded… and no one told him? How dumb can you be?
Think? Him? Shallow, ignorant, impulsive, infantile narcissists with no self-control don't stop to think. They just do as they please.
Sounds like him and his cabinet🤮
The Pee Pee Tapes!? Maybe one day…
I am not a conspiracy theorist by any means, but did you ever hear the expression, where there's smoke there's fire?
My thoughts precisely. Although to be more specific, where there's Trump, it's going to be bad...very bad.
President Trump: Would you go to Moscow?
It’s difficult. There are a lot of Ukrainian drones there. It's dangerous…
yeah, I imagine that will be in tomorrow's post. it's too juicy to leave out
Deserves above-the-fold
Grace in front of the cameras indeed…
Beautiful humble brag burn.
🏆
Who wants Zelensky to go to Moscow ???? He’d never return… believe me… never!
I heard that Trump kept calling Zelenskyy "Putin." Damn Shitler's lost his effing mind.
Yeah, donnycon’s had his nose up Putin’s ass for years yet DSA candidates calling for things most Americans want are COMMUNISTS!
“Or you’re not going to have a Europe anymore “
Fuck this demented old coot!!!
I bet every Republican who is covering for him is being blackmailed in some way. Or maybe they’re all a bunch of immoral assholes. Maybe a bit of both. 🤦♀️. Maybe he and Mitch can go out together.
When Trump thinks of Europe at all, it’s as the place where white people and Hitler came from.
Oh please, oh please, oh please, let this come true. We need a two-fer with Mitch and Donny.
I bet they are immoral assholes. Is there anyone in the republican party willing to admit that democrats have just as much right to make there case and win voters? Not that I can tell.
2 too many "maybe"s.
About Meloni, I'm shocked he didn't say "I moved on her like a bitch".
I almost added that part in my head while I was reading the transcript (can't listen to him at all anymore). What a pig.
Exactly!
LOL - good one Marian!
Maybe he’s stuck on his back and can’t turn over. Somebody help that MF.
Oh, he's stuck on his back alright. I just cannot believe his wife would have dashed to China if he were actually recovering and not definitively brain dead or dead.
She is the only one who can take him off life support, assuming that's his condition. She could keep him on it indefinitely.
He's so young! They commonly live to 150 or more.
150? Never mind. Leave him there.
🤣🤣🤣🐢
😂This🤣
How big are those china ships? Are they breakable? Are they fine china or just some thick white junk?
Who doesn't long for the romantic days in the age of sail, and those China chippers
L to the O to the L!
I enjoyed that gem from Donnie Demento: there are Russian ships around Greenland, along with China ships--wouldn't they sink??
🤣🤣🤣
To the tune of Ruby Tuesday 🎶
He has done so much to harm this land
The voters in his state don't understand
Fed Fox right wing crap
Turned into MAGA saps
They won't believe
They've been deceived
Goodbye, Mitch McConnell
You played your crooked games so well
When you finally croak we hope you
Go straight to hell
He spent his many years in Washington
Trying to stop good from being done
He did his corrupt best
To grow this MAGA mess
Progress subdued and now we're screwed
Goodbye, Mitch McConnell
Heard you're just a veggie now
When you croak it's overdue
And take trump with you
👏👏👏😆
Mick Jagger wants a word with you!
Mick: “Not funny!”
I think Mitch the Glitch Bitch is gone
To goat fucking heaven beyond
The Supreme Court Old Thief
Eating grits and skank beef
Hey Turtleneck! It's your Black Swan!
Hey Tiedrich followers! Would you please subscribe to my Substack if you like what you see? I finally over 100 new friends!
I talked to ol' Mitch
For about 20 minutes
And yes, he was dead
He has a new phone
It connects to the Beyond
Mitch says it's hot there
Many years ago
He used to be a good guy
Got rid of Packwood
Getting rid of him
Does not qualify to me
Mitch as a good guy
It used to be called
"The loyal opposition"
It's all relative
Good use of haiku!
Jeff
I read Robert Reich call for Platner to drop out and a lot of comments were they were going to cancel/ unfollow Mr Reich due to his opinion.
So the answer to your question is probably yes.
Platner has been giving me the “icks” from my spidey senses from the beginning.
My spidey senses are my super power.
Just love the Claudia photos. Such deep love you two had between you.
Ps
I have not nor am I unsubscribing.
YES! He creeped me out from the beginning. His blind followers are no different than the mindless MAGA. Why does everyone want to play victim? Why can’t we just make this country what we want it to be?
“Weekend at Mitch’s” is funny until you remember this is how a dying empire handles power: no proof, no accountability, just three Republicans swearing they had a lovely twenty-minute chat with the hospital fog machine. Meanwhile Trump waddles into NATO, whines that nobody helped with his don’t-call-it-a-war war, threatens Greenland like a drunk pirate with dementia, insults allies, then falls asleep in public while Belgium does his YMCA jerk-dance over America’s World Cup corpse. This is not leadership. It is a nursing home coup with international roaming charges.
Get used to it. He'll stay in power until he dies. The Republican Congress will probably cancel or figure out how to fix it so he gets a 3rd term.
I am so tired of this fucking idiot
I thought it was just me 😉
Which fucking idiot? Mitch or donOLD?
Yes.
I need clarification on Mitch's condition so at the proper moment I can burst into song. I'm working on a version of Ding Dong the Mitch is Dead.
LBJ was reportedly also fond of showing off his enormous Johnson
I don’t know if I should laugh or cry at the thought of that! 🤣
It's true. He used his, ahem, impressive attribute to intimidate others, hopefully men
Oh god- ya know these Presidents admiring their schlongs- truly repulsive.
Throw up in your mouth a little maybe?
Ha!!
You just don’t get enormous Johnsons in high places anymore. Look at us now, with Wholly Inadequate Mike and Dim Don the Button Mushroom.
Yes it's true. I went to the Iceland Phallological Museum in Reykjavik. There's a whole wall devoted to LBJ. Raucous stories. I took pictures. I'm thinking that's where the euphemism Johnson originates.
It is.
And having meetings whilst taking a crap
Well, I saw the gallbladder scar, and I saw him holding his dog up by the ears, but I totally missed that last one. Hunh.
🫣🫣
Trump is exactly as you called him… a big fat baby! He needs to go with Mitch in never never land! Thanks Jeff! Love the Claudia photos- beautiful ❤️
