you’re sick of Donny’s shit. so am I.
everything about him is repugnance turned all the way up to eleven. the greed. the corruption. the preening vanity. the wanton cruelty. the infantile tantrums.
the impulsiveness. the incompetence. the pig-headed stubbornness and the inability to learn from his mistakes.
his childish obsession with gold, and the endless vulgar monuments to himself.
the misogyny, transphobia and racism.
the narcolepsy. the dementia. the rotting hands, the cankles, and the neckgina. the beady little pig eyes. the fluorescent tangerine skin. that fucked-up rat’s nest of cotton-candy bullshit he hot-glues the top of his big, dumb pumpkin head.
yeah, we’ve all had it up to here with Donny. but you know who else is fed up with Dear Leader’s shit?
reporter: “didn’t Trump promise to bring down prices? you voted for him three times. are you disappointed?”
MAGA: “disappointed. very disappointed. prices aren’t down. I don’t know. I don’t know. I’m over it, I think. I’m over the Trump thing. the Trump wagon, we’ll call it.”
reporter: “if you could talk directly to the president, about the war, about the prices, about the economy, what would you tell him?”
MAGA: “stop the bullshit.”
now, as you watched that clip, you had one of two possible reactions.
the first would be, ‘fuck you, you fucking fuck. you were totally down with all of Donny’s fuckery, right up until the moment it affected you personally. boo fucking hoo.’
the second would be, ‘welcome to the Dark Side, bro.’
both reactions are legitimate, but that’s not really important. what’s important is that MAGA is sick of Donny’s shit — and that helps us in November.
tell me, is it a bad thing for your political party when a top election analyst tells you that you should ‘brace yourself’ for an electoral disaster?
With 64 days before Election Day, Republicans should brace themselves: The three most plausible outcomes are that it will be bad, really bad, or truly horrible.
dude — shoot that shit straight into my veins.
now, let’s get real. we can’t expect our pissed-off cultist in that clip to vote for a Dem. Democrats, after all, are communists who will force everyone to be mutilized transgenderly once they get back into power. that shit’s a bridge too far for MAGA — but it’s very likely that he’ll stay home and sit out the midterms.
and he’s not alone.
Q: If you could say something to President Trump, what would it be?
Three-time Trump voter: Get a more of a reality of what people are living like. Go live with a senior citizen living on $1,500 a month in social security. See how we have to live.
Q: So you’re feeling it?
Trump voter: Yeah
that’s one more cultist who’s likely to stay at home on election day.
at long last, Dear Leader is losing his mojo. everything he does just makes him more unpopular.
President Donald Trump has dropped another clunker in the laps of his fellow Republicans in the run-up to the 2026 midterm elections.
His new trade war with Canada and his related move to change the name of Lake Ontario to “Lake America” are the latest in a series of unpopular actions.
In fact, new polling suggests they’re even more unpopular than Trump’s previous tariffs and efforts to rename things.
and the bad news for the Donnyverse just keeps piling up.
The global sell-off in the bond market is hitting the housing market, with US mortgage rates surging to their highest level of the year. That’s putting fresh pressure on home shoppers and homeowners hoping to refinance.
The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate rose to 6.71% this week, according to Freddie Mac. That’s the highest level since July 2025.
Donny likes to whine about how ‘affordability’ is just some word that commie Democrats made up, but try explaining that to anyone who’s trying to fill the tank of their truck.
CHICAGO (AP) — Diesel hit a record price in the U.S. on Friday, soaring to an average of $5.85 a gallon for the first time as the six-month war with Iran disrupts the world’s flow of fuel.
Because diesel is used for many freight and delivery networks, higher diesel prices mean higher transportation costs for a long list of everyday goods.
don’t look to Dear Leader — or any of his Republicans enablers — to fix any of this shit. they have no solutions. all they have are gaslighting and lies.
Fox News yammering yutz: “consumer confidence fell in August. Americans are worried about gas prices, what they're seeing at the grocery store, healthcare prices.”
House Majority Whip Tom Emmer: “what do you expect the public to feel when the left-wing media is telling American it’s not good out there? it is!”
ohhhh. well, now that Tom Emmer was nice enough to explain it to us— HOLD ON THERE. WAIT JUST ONE GODDAMNED MINUTE. WHAT LEFT-WING MEDIA? there is no left-wing media. the oligarchy has bought it all up and fired anyone not loyal to Dear Leader.
find me some left-wing media that’s not MSNOW. I dare you.
you’ll find Bigfoot fucking a unicorn while the Loch Ness Monster watches, before you find any left-wing media.
Donny’s a fucking moron, but he is a bit of an idiot savant when it comes to self-preservation.
he knows that his party is facing electoral Armageddon, so it’s no wonder he’s gone running to his six corrupt, bought-and-paid-for SCOTUS hacks to once again bail him out.
The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on Thursday to immediately allow new restrictions on mail-in balloting, potentially setting up a major legal clash that could affect millions of voters for November’s midterm elections.
The fight could possibly upend election procedures just as states begin to send out mail-in ballots in pivotal contests that will determine control of the U.S. House and Senate.
fucking with mail-in balloting this close to the election would throw the whole process into chaos. human sacrifice! dogs and cats living together! mass hysteria!
but that’s the whole point. chaos always works in Donny’s favor.
in any sane world, all nine SCOTUS justices would tell Donny to fuck himself to Mars. this one’s a no-brainer, or at least it should be. the executive branch has no role in local elections.
hands off, fuckface.
but of course we don’t live in a sane world. we live in a world where Fishin’ Trip Sammy, Luxury RV Clarence, and Nihilist Neil all rule the way their oligarch overlords tell them to, so they’re going to tie themselves into rhetorical pretzels in order to come up with a justification for why Dear Leader is a Very Special Boy Who Gets To Meddle In Any Election He Wants To — even though the Constitution expressly forbids the federal government from interfering with state-run elections.
the question is, will John Roberts, Amy Coney Barrett and Blackout Brett Kavanaugh join them?
as always, it’s fucking maddening.
now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to glue all the pieces of my exploded head back together.
everything totally fucking sucks right now, but at least we can laugh at Donny’s eternally clownish incompetence.
In a months-long summer saga that does not appear to want to end, the Trump administration has hired yet another new company to help clean and maintain the Lincoln Reflecting Pool — adding more cost and more questions to the renovation project that was meant to be a showcase of the country’s 250th birthday.
you know, I’m beginning to suspect that Donny is an imbecile who has no fucking clue what he’s doing. how did he ever manage to successfully run six casinos?
oh wait — he didn’t.
I can’t wait to hear his explanation about how the need to hire a third contractor to fix the shit that was never broken in the first place is the fault of some Amphifa frog doing Grand Theft Paint Chips.
in two weeks, workers are going to begin construction on Donny’s 250-foot tall Epstein Arch — despite having no approval to do so.
given Dear Leader’s track record, how badly is he going to fuck this up? how many times will it need to be redone?
I guess we’re going to find out.
lucky us.
well, it’s Friday. we made it through another week in one piece. let’s reward ourselves with some Daily Claudia and get out of here.
today, lets celebrate dinner with friends. here’s Scott, Jim, Rich, Kathy, Jeanny, Dara, yours truly, and Ms Spouse at our favorite table at Peter Pratt’s Inn in Yorktown Heights, NY on February 8, 2025.
again at our favorite table at Peter Pratt’s, on March 15, 2024, it’s Kathy, Ms Spouse, Scott, yours truly, PJ and Alex.
and, finally, at I don’t remember where, it’s Jeanny, Kathy, Ms Spouse, Scott, Rich and some guy, on January 13, 2024.
have a great Friday, everyone.
here’s your daily reminder that I can be found on Blue Sky at this link.
this is going to be my closing message for the foreseeable future:
practice self-care. do what you need to do to keep sane. if that means you need to disengage with my daily posts for a while, I get it. this community of ours will still be here when you return.
to all the people who have signed on in the days since the election, welcome aboard. settle in as we all try to deal with the shitfuckery that’s ahead of us.
we are all in this together, and we are all here for each other.
today in Shit That Happened While I Was Busy Writing This Shit—
I got nuthin', except for some knife-wielding dimwit who got shot to death by cops after climbing the cables of the Brooklyn Bridge

I guess that's that epitome of a 'slow news Friday' before Labor Day.
To make sure the Republicans face that electoral Armageddon, make sure your registration is still intact. Some unreconstructed state-based regimes of terror are indeed purging registrations. Some are also purging polling places.
Is your voting plan together? Vote as early as possible in person. Do not rely on the USPS to deliver your ballot, especially late. Official dropboxes only.
Because these MAGA cultists may SAY they're upset. But I don't care what they say. I care what they DO. And they always need some little excuse—any tiny one will do—to vote for the unreconstructed party that services their conservative-coded bigotries. So our job is to outnumber them at the only poll that counts...the ballot. The only semblance of a check on Maladministration 2.0 is a Democratic impeachment+removal-sized majority.
