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

"Consumer prices rose 4.2% annually in May, highest in three years"

https://www.cnbc.com/2026/06/10/cpi-inflation-report-may-2026.html

ace job, Donny.

Unity In Defiance's avatar

And Donnie Dumbfuck says: “Prices aren’t that high.”

Sure asshole.

HI2thDoc's avatar

This from a guy who never had encountered the term groceries until a few months ago

arne link's avatar

Or the term dum(b).

Pam Humphrey's avatar

Most people don’t know there’s a “b” on it…most stupid people like Donnie Dimwit, that is.

HI2thDoc's avatar

"Most people?" Mebbe the non-English speakers, like him

Martha Howell's avatar

That was a word we Hermione Graingers would challenge the boys in 2nd grade to spell so we could laugh at the ones who didn't know about the silent B. Little did we know we were separating the future presidential timber from the chaff.

Bonnie Council's avatar

What there isn't a "b" in is dummy. And he is absolutely the dumbest (with a b) dummy ever to assume (with an ass in it) the role of president of this once great country. I hate him so much.

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

call him presiDUNCE so it doesn't hurt as much to admit that a bunch of dumbasses in our Country (aided and abetted by Putin) put him into OUR White House). I LOATHE him. Here's a wee something by David Pakman which might cheer you up a bit:

Lady Emsworth's avatar

I looked it up on "Etymonline" - it comes from the Old German word "dumbaz" - which is quite a coincidence, because that's exactly what Donnie is!

Rick's avatar

toan deff to!

Mombeka's avatar

My husband says that people here on O’ahu are literally engraving “Fuck Trump” onto the gasoline pump windows where the prices are shown.

HI2thDoc's avatar

Good! I wager trump has never been to a gas station or seen a gas pump up close. Some "man of the people."

He’s so lazy he drives his cart onto the green, which is not allowed. He doesn’t care

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

"Nobody knows that word but me. No one has ever used it before."

HI2thDoc's avatar

What the living fuck

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

He thinks he invented 'groceries' and 'affordability', both words he'd never heard before. It's beyond astonishing that this mindless moron has control of the NUCLEAR BUTTON!

Lisa Altman's avatar

True and he would get lost if you told him to go to the corner-store

Lady Emsworth's avatar

He could get lost in a Porta Potty. . .

KP Johnson Austin, TX's avatar

it's such an old-fashioned word.

Jane's avatar

Yeah groceries imagine a new word like that! 🤓

devourerofpancakes's avatar

But Trump told farmers in Northern Wisconsin that prices were falling.

Suel J's avatar

I'm betting farmers have wised up to the scam.

devourerofpancakes's avatar

Meh. They know prices aren't falling but they also *know* that lazy black people in Milwaukee are getting taking their hard earned money somehow.

HI2thDoc's avatar

Farmers for trump is like Chickens for McNuggets

DJ Headthrob's avatar

Or, like Barbara Stanwyck says in The Lady Eve, "I need him like the axe needs the chicken."

Leigh Hamilton's avatar

And slugs for salt.

Lynn Horsky's avatar

The Republican senate hasn't raised the Milwaukee city budget since the mid 90's. During the pandemic they saved money by not sending the city street sweepers into the black section of town and then blamed the trash on the "lazy blacks" as it got buried and rotted under snow and ice....

HI2thDoc's avatar

Racism is the main pillar of the conservatives. I don't refer to them as the Republican party anymore. They are the party of Putin, the party of treason, the party of pedophile protectors.

Martha Howell's avatar

And the libs in Madison are transitioning their children by force.

devourerofpancakes's avatar

Obviously, it was on FOX news. I was gobsmacked once when talking to relatives who genuinely thought all Portland OR was unsafe because of protestors.

Maui Wahine's avatar

This is why the Dems need to plaster rural America with billboards about the grifting Trump family and also send good candidate reps there to talk to the people (Like Pete Buttigeg, a great communicator).

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

Buttigieg recently did a town hall in Montana.

HH Mohr's avatar

Billboards in rural areas, good idea. What should they say, though? Some people think the "orange one" is part of their religion. There are good folks who really believe that if they stray from what their old white preacher-man says, they will literally burn in hell.

Sharon Hudnall's avatar

I had to laugh when Krugman referred to "Kevin Hassett, the administration’s top economist." So gleeful Colin Robinson is the big brain deciphering war-driven inflation for Trump & Co.

Rick's avatar

call me cheap, but krugman and jeff are my two paid subscriptions --

MmeRose's avatar

I know that appearances may deceive, but Kevin Hassett has the silliest face I’ve ever seen.

arne link's avatar

I don't know about that. I certainly hope that you are right. What does the Magic Eight Ball say?

KP Johnson Austin, TX's avatar

Yeah--Too bad they elected him before they figured this out.

SPW's avatar

Trump says a lot of shit. One would finally figure out that he was full of it but there still is that foolish 30 or so % that still thinks his shit doesn’t stink. Go figure. But they aren’t in a cult 🙄.

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

Nah, even AS they gulp down the poisoned kool-aid and ask: 'please sir, can I have some more'?

Suel J's avatar

He has never bought anything in his life. He has zero idea about balancing a budget

HI2thDoc's avatar

Victoria Wilson's avatar

Yeah just like he has never pumped a dollar in gas into any vehicle.He is such a butthole!

wisewebwoman's avatar

I believe he's never had a driver's licence. Never needed one with cheap chauffeurs driving everyone around. Anyone ever see him behind the wheel of a car?

Rick's avatar

nope -- but he posed behind the wheel of a garbage truck -- thrilled like a four year old

Leigh Hamilton's avatar

It was the vest he liked.

DebJS's avatar

There was that red Tesla in front of the White House that one time.

wisewebwoman's avatar

He just sat in it right? I don't think he knew how to operate it. 🤣

Polly Sears's avatar

Except the Presidency and hookers!

MmeRose's avatar

Why would he pay hookers? He doesn't pay anybody else.

Leigh Hamilton's avatar

Because hookers are smart. They want the cash on the table BEFORE services are rendered. Can you imagine otherwise? LOL. And pimps don't care who the john is as long as the cash flows.

Hey, I watch TV!

Kim Steeves's avatar

So true....still made me laugh out loud!!! Thank you!

MmeRose's avatar

What i wanted to write was something like he would stiff them, like other employees. But I lost my nerve because I'm suspended from Reddit.

HI2thDoc's avatar

From Honeymoon in Vegas, where Nick Cage's character is about to skydive with the Flying Elvises, the leader of the group tells Cage's Jack when asked if parachutes are foolproof, "As the king himself said, there ain't nothing foolproof 'cept Coup DeVilles and hookers!"

SethTriggs's avatar

Just has to win the moment; Democrats are the only ones required to be attached to reality.

Bob Bowden's avatar

77 million Americans stepped into the 2024 voting booth and pressed the Wheel Of Moron. Now they drive to the gas station, fill up their tanks paying $4 per gallon, then go to the grocery (what a quaint word!) store - and Holy Shit, their eyes pop out when they see the grand total of what they purchased.

When ignorant voters spin the Wheel Of Moron, “what goes around comes around” (to bite them in the ass)

DJ Headthrob's avatar

They also believed he was a brilliant businessman, despite any and all evidence to the contrary.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

Where is this $4 a gallon gas? Here in Cleveland, you might find $4.29 if you drive around, but mostly much higher.

Cyndi's avatar

Here in SF East Bay the Costco I go to is nearing $7.

MmeRose's avatar

It was $7+ when I was in San Diego a couple of weeks ago.

Robert Eckert's avatar

California is exceptional because of its emission standards. Here in Michigan it's been over $4 for quite some time, but hasn't gotten to $5 even in the worst weeks.

Anna B's avatar

Yes! I paid $5.59 at local Costco yesterday. San Diego County. Haven't seen gas under $5 for several months.

Sara Toye's avatar

He never spends any of his money on room or board and you know he manages never to pay for his McDonald’s deliveries. At the same time, he, his family, his cronies, and minions are making billions.

DebJS's avatar

Did you know he (Trump Organization) also charges premium rates for rooms for secret service that accompany him on his visits to his properties? That is part of the reason he goes there so often, just like he did in his first term.

MmeRose's avatar

Who pays for his McDonalds? Is it given away for free advertising?

More likely that we pay for it. Like everything else.

Christine's avatar

He actually said he likes inflation because when the war ends then prices will come down. The idiot clown.

Cheryl Ramette's avatar

And he loves this inflation! It proves his plan is working!

SethTriggs's avatar

That reminds me about those supposed "tariff rebate/refund checks." Have any companies actually received one? Nevertheless, us regular folks aren't going to be seeing that money back. The money we've lost to higher prices (whether by the random tariffs or the Straits of Schrödinger) has either been lost forever to us, or been hoovered up into the griftpockets of America's Pilonidal Cyst.

Dave Drell's avatar

Costco came out and said they would seek some way to give back money to their customers - but how are they going to do that? Seems like a very complicated process IF and when they get money from the feds.

William's avatar

Actually, Costco credits members annually with a rebate based on a percentage of their purchases and their membership tier, so it seems they already have a mechanism in place to directly give money to customers based on how much they spent there?

Martha Howell's avatar

15 years ago I bought a sectional for our finished basement at Costco, at what I thought was a very reasonable price for a large piece of furniture. Two months later I got a letter from them in the mail with a merchandise credit of $250. They had been able to get the product at a lower price and were passing that along to me. I'm still shopping there!

rlritt's avatar

I like Costco.

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

Lowered prices are the only way that could happen…dubious of that Dave.

Robert Eckert's avatar

No, they do send out rebates.

rlritt's avatar

He just says people are going to receive rebates without understanding what that even means. Or he is talking about rebates to companies, who, absolutely, of course, will pass them on to the consumer.

DebJS's avatar

Some companies are selling their rights to refunds so they get money now instead of later--

tax.thomsonreuters.com

https://tax.thomsonreuters.com/news/companies-are-selling-their-tariff-refund-rights-accountants-say-not-so-fast/

Companies Are Selling Their Tariff Refund Rights. Accountants Say Not ...

Mar 19, 2026Some companies hoping to claw back money from disputed tariffs aren't waiting around for Washington. Instead, they're selling their rights to possible future refunds to outside investors — often at a steep discount — in a risky new twist that accountants say opens up a messy set of financial reporting questions.

SethTriggs's avatar

That is fascinating!

J Hardy Carroll's avatar

No man, prices are going down. Fake news. Also, what's more important, medication or food? Asking for a friend.

Would anyone really vote for Bovino (who views himself as an SS Officer only in modern times)?

I mean, who in their right fucking mind.

So here is what we have to face today:

▪ Iran answers U.S. strikes with twenty-one of its own across the Gulf ▪ The ICE money bill clears the House by two votes, heads to the desk ▪ Bali's fireflies bred back from the dark, one larva at a time ▪ New York Republicans lose their minds over the word "parentage" ▪ Rose for the heart that's been clenched since Monday ▪ Cherríe Moraga, Maggie Nelson, and the long art of making family anyway

Tess's avatar

Once again-leave nature alone for crying out loud! AND let people who want to be parents alone! Who gives a shit if they are straight, gay, trans…so sick of people today! Good info Wendy….(deep breath!).

devourerofpancakes's avatar

Aww man, is the slush fund and Epstein ballroom still in the bill? I bet it is. Republicans are such terrible cowards.

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

IIRC they didn't pass an amendment that would ban the slush fund but they did vote down the money he wanted for the ballroom.

barb's avatar

I'm sure that nazi Bovino is very appealing to the white supremacist crowd as well as to many of the stupid, racist people who voted for the felon in the white house, sigh.

arne link's avatar

IDK, they would prefer a tall, blond and Nordic type, I'm sure. I guess you take what you can get if there is so little to choose from.

Sharon Hudnall's avatar

Well, the preference for a tall, blond and Nordic type eliminates Mr. Big Shoes Rubio (as well as Hillbilly Makeover Vance). But there's always orange makeup and hair bleach to fall back on.

AuntTeeFa's avatar

“ so little to choose from” I see what you did there

Pam Humphrey's avatar

Me, too. That was a little bit sneaky.

Tina Zep's avatar

Slush fund yes, ballroom no.

serenity's avatar

Most people thought that trump would lose in 2024 but here we are. I wouldn't put my trust in the average American voter at this point to NOT elect bovino.

Highest in 3 years? Who was President 3 years ago? President Biden…. and that is possible to prove

Gloria J. Maloney's avatar

Warxh plans to change the Central Bank's focus from the CPI to a "trimmed mean inflation."

If you don't like the results of the measure, change the measure. What do you think Warsh is trimming? I can't think of anything funny about that. I'm all laughed out.

Thanks for making me laugh every day.

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

Can we start calling it Trumpflation or is this still the Biden economy he inherited? :)

AuntTeeFa's avatar

If Ronnie Raygun hadn’t put his thumb on the CPI back when the real inflation rate would be more like 12% today. Let’s hope they don’t try that chained CPI shit that they threatened to do several years ago where each Social Security check shrinks progressively

Mary Hall's avatar

St. Raygun is also responsible for our meager Social Security checks being taxable income. Fker did it to pay for <drum roll, please> tax cuts for the rich!

Bovino is an attention whore with a little man complex. Pocket Nazi is so appropriate -and hilarious.

South Carolina must be dumber than Missouri. He's hoping the doctor beats Lindsey.

And if they cut social security, I hope that'll be the final straw to bury the GOP once and for all.

These people are so evil.

I've turned into my mother circa 2002 when Dubya flirted with privatizing Social Security. She was hollering "they're not entitlements but earned benefits and the GOP needs to keep their fucking hands off my Social Security." Now as a SS recipient I feel the same way. You're not cutting my benefits for ICE.

Robert Eckert's avatar

That's what the word "entitlement" means: you get "title" to something when you have paid for it, like when you finish the mortgage or auto loan you are "entitled" to the house or car, they send you the title. How it came to be used to imply the opposite I do not understand.

Oh, I'm just dying to see him doing the rounds without his cadre of armed goons to protect him.

If he wants to do the whole New Hampshire thing, he's going to have to contend with people who were pissed off that they tried to put concentration camps there on the sly. And he won't be able to keep out the non-Republicans who decide to show up and question him.

I may have to schedule a visit to my brother just to see if I can go see him in the wild.

Fastball Fredo's avatar

Jeff, from the behavior of MAGAS and super MAGAs this weekend we are witnessing something rather extraordinary. First, this meeting in the Skiff by members of the administration last summer ostensibly to plan out and protect Dear Leader in the Epstein saga. Second, Holy Moses Mike stating we must cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, a goal of the GOP since the inception of these programs, putting a significant portion of seniors at a higher risk of disease and death. Thirdly, I’m getting the vibes that even though Dems will be elected to the House, I don’t trust the MAGAS to swear in those duly elected new members. There seems to be an unlimited supply of schemes to purposely cause mayhem and uncertainty in the general a few months away… We have seen the lengths MAGAs will go to retain their power and leadership so nothing should surprise us anymore. Best to All fellow travelers.

serenity's avatar

It was so irritating to read johnson say that we're up to our eyeballs in debt so we have to cut social security, medicare and medicaid, but we find billions and trillions of dollars for ice and weaponry for the military. No one can have nice things in this country anymore.

Mary Hall's avatar

T💩p is responsible for fully 1/3 of our national debt which is currently ~$40T. Dafuq do we have to show for that debt? It's been a long con for the rich to steal everything.

Robert Eckert's avatar

No, Trump is responsible for more than 1/2 of the debt, when you include what he did the first time around.

Major Kong's avatar

Trump's and Holy Mike's dark rumblings about the California vote count are a dress rehearsal for November.

Robert Eckert's avatar

"I don’t trust the MAGAS to swear in those duly elected new members" They won't have anything to do with it. The swearing in of a new Congress is conducted by professional clerks, since none of the members of the previous Congress, even if re-elected, have any role until sworn in. Remember the debacle when the House could not begin its work without electing a Speaker and took 15 ballots to put Whathisface in the job? Remember those ladies who presided over those ballots?

Cyndi's avatar

If those Republicans who lose don't show up and re-elected Democrats do, Mikey won't have the votes to make it happen.

Robert Eckert's avatar

There can be no votes in the House until the new Congress is sworn in, at which point they will choose a Speaker, since Mike's role as Speaker will have expired.

I agree Sharon but remember the Trump. We didn’t think that idiot had a chance either — ask Lyndsey.

Thanks, Jeff. It’s Groundhog Day for this stuff. The same little men with the same big fantasies, mistaking logistics for destiny and then faceplanting in real time.

Bovino going straight to wardrobe is authoritarianism as a costuming exercise, all epaulettes and no state capacity. Batista was fond of giant hats, I recall. Lots of gold braid.

We're seeing how small these people are up close. Bovino is a guy who thinks history is about to anoint him, and he’s out there preordering uniforms like a Comic-Con attendee looking forward to next year's big event.

Odds are he is sexting Noem like a drunk regional manager with no impulse control. There is such a huge gapbwteen how they see themselves and what they actually are, deeply unserious men who keep proving over and over, that they’re better at embarrassing themselves than running anything.

Orban learned that if you don't deliver, you get the boot no matter how hard they try to rig it into permanence. Fox may tell you that prices are down, but spending half your paycheck filling your tank says otherwise. And five dollar gas will seem like the good old days come August. Their incompetence and greed will be their undoing. I hope, anyway.

So many of these turds, from the predator in chief on down through Piss drunk Pete, this guy the mini storm trooper, Vampire Miller, Macho Markwayne, even Gym Jordan, are all deeply insecure, so they inflict their overcompensating dominion on the lesser. MAGA is defined by soulless bullies, always punching down. Racist, misogynist cowards.

The same way I think polling companies are rigged toward Republicans, I suspect whoever the powers that be who are running the stock market are selectively favoring Republicans and rigging the markets accordingly. For example, during COVID the economy went to shit but the stock market stayed high, and it's doing the same damn thing now.

But compare to what happened right when the first Black president (a Democrat) took office inheriting an already sinking economy from a Republican deregulation-idiot. 401(k) accounts halved, people lost their homes that dropped in value through no fault of their own, the banks had to be bailed out (because too big to fail), etc.

Wealthy people own the mechanisms to ensure they stay wealthy and to hell with everyone else. And that includes voting equipment and systems!

Note that the stock market reflects corporate profits, which are steadily rising, thanks to price gouging, wage stagnation, benefit cuts, and monopolistic practices, among other tactics.

The situation can be dire for the 99%, but still good for the vulture capitalists. That's why the stock market is still high.

The entire system is rigged to make it seem like we can change things, from the horse-race polling instead of discussion about issues to the tsunamis of money and false information. It is designed to keep us at one another's throats. The polling companies, the media companies, the Supreme Court, the slave-legacy Electoral college...all of it is an anvil on our backs to make sure there is never an actual democracy. It is working as designed.

“Pocket Nazi” is yet another great name your brain came up with. That lil’ schmuck has nothing better to do but to announce a run for Prez after going to Portugal. He spoke there about “reimigration”. You know, getting rid of immigrants. Well, JFC! That’s all of us!

Lindsay must have massaged quite a few dicks to win again but he has a strong opponent, so let’s see what happens.

Then the evil Repubs massaged their own diicks and are coming after Social Security and Medicare. Honestly, they are the biggest fuckers that money and threats have bought.

When bovino says he wants to deport almost a third of the US population, calling them illegal, he's not talking about immigrants per se. Take a look at the demographics for the US - that's basically the non-white percentage. He's taking about ethnic cleansing.

He just said the quiet part out loud. And he's not the only one. If it's not him, it will be someone like him running in 2028. Look at what Elon is spewing on Twitter and Vance is telling Europeans.

The far right is emboldened right now and I don't see things improving any time soon.

The Republican Party can't really believe it can hoodwink the public into believing there is no other solution to fixing Social Security other than cutting benefits. Congress has known for years that simply increasing the cap on Social Security taxes being collected to $400,000-$500,000 solves the trust fund issue for possibly ever. Should they choose to cut benefits for Social Security and Medicare, it will be the last time they have a majority in Congress and a Republican president for decades. A reliable block of voters for the Repubs is those voters over 65 years old who vote out of habit for Repubs, even though Repubs do very little to actually help retirees. Because Congress lacks the political will to address the issue responsibly and act like a governing legislative body, we find ourselves in crisis mode.

The people who make their money by investing instead of being paid for their labor should be paying into Social Security and Medicare. Or do they? I am no expert but if they are exempt then that is a big problem.

In any other corner of the known universe, and in any other dimensions that may exist through cosmic strings or quantum realms, stupid and clever occupy entirely different spaces. Only in the cult of MAGA, the most idiotic province in existence, are stupid and clever even adjacent, let alone separated by a fine line
