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

looks like the peace talking are going just swimmingly.

"BREAKING: Iranian forces have informed the Iranian negotiating delegation that a U.S. destroyer is moving from Fujairah Port toward the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran has informed the Pakistani mediator that if the American destroyer continues its movement, it will be targeted within 30 minutes."

There are no peace talks but there sure is a lot of Trump shit talking.

Leu2500's avatar

Couchman is on his way to the talks.

Like that will help.

djw's avatar

I want the Iranians to tell Trump they want him, face to face, in Tehran. Nobody else.

Denise Donaldson's avatar

And then, in a flash, the ICC can issue a warrant for his arrest and then swoop down and pick him up.

Hey, I have fantasies, too....

djw's avatar

Yeah, I was secretly going there, too!

Linda Weide's avatar

Yup! Well, he can bring Barron with him.

Joe Witkowski's avatar

Couchfuck couldn’t close an outhouse door in rural Appalachia

counterlife's avatar

Couchman, Waxworks Slenderman, and the NYC Real Estate guy who is just as dumb as Trump. I feel like this thing is in good hands, don't you?

Kay-El's avatar

Lol, he’ll say something incredibly stupid and/or insulting.

P123Sunny's avatar

(Hell why not it’s worked up til now😒)

HI2thDoc's avatar

WTF? Does Hegseth think one destroyer is gonna open the strait? It's just target practice for the Iranians. It would be ludicrous if it wasn't risking life and limb of our personnel.

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

Supposedly the destroyer went from one side to the other to prove there were no mines previously… everything this Dept. of War does is lunacy Doc!

HI2thDoc's avatar

Risking the ship and all hands to strut and brag is stupid, pointless, and dangerous. Just like this whole regime

Zija Pulp's avatar

They’re acting like eighth graders. But in this case, in a dangerous situation.

HI2thDoc's avatar

I would say pre-schoolers

Abby From Maine's avatar

Agreed Doc! I taught special ed 4th graders, and they would have known this was a bad idea!

Linda Weide's avatar

How about the fact that Trump is now going to automatically register all 18-25 year old males in the draft. Normally the states do that, so is this a back door way to try to get at voter rolls in the Blue States? Before I wrote a piece about how family's should send their daughters abroad, but now I am going to say send your son abroad to university. I think this one applies to both.

Marlene Lerner-Bigley (CA)'s avatar

Yes, and our precious men and women are on board. No thoughts and fucking prayers will help them. So worrisome! Now would be a good time for TACO to taco outta there.

Jan Moon's avatar

And isn't THAT a gesture of peace right there. Send a destroyer down the strait. Works for me. Plus . . . is it true in a world of lies?

Linda Weide's avatar

Target, or detonate some water mines.

HI2thDoc's avatar

Neither one is a good use of a destroyer and her crew

Linda Weide's avatar

It is all batshit crazy!

Punkette's avatar

Whoa, Jeff. This aggressive posturing proves once again that the U.S. regime cannot be trusted. Ever. Dump, Hegseth and Bibi are not serious about ending this war. The Iranian negotiators should just get up and walk out.

Outdoorluvr's avatar

Except it's not them doing the "negotiating". It's Kushner, Witkoff, and (theoretically) Vance. What could possibly go wrong? 🫤

rlritt's avatar

The only thing Kushner is negotiating is how much money can he get out of the deal.

Zija Pulp's avatar

Exactly. I wouldn’t trust those three to negotiate in a Turkish market.

P123Sunny's avatar

Yet maga is like: 🦗🦗🦗❓

Joan Serkin's avatar

Last week the Iranians wouldn’t even be in the same room with Shitkof and Jared. Now the master of negotiations Jd Vance joins in, the Three Musketeers. JD got along in Hungary 🇭🇺 but I hope he doesn’t ask the Iranians why they haven’t thanked Donald Trump. He usually doesn’t play well with others.

Outdoorluvr's avatar

True, but it's been widely reported that Vance wasn't in agreement with the strikes on Iran. Maybe that's more comfortable for Iran's side of the negotiating?

Gail Dragoo's avatar

They all belong in jail.

Outdoorluvr's avatar

One of the best things that could happen in this country, is an overview of the entire real estate business itself - the legalities and tax structure for them is insane, and most people don't know how little oversight they're subjected to.

AuntTeeFa's avatar

NO it ait ogen!

Backwards, just like the idiots to represent as diplomats.

More like dipshits

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

There is no discussion until Israel ceases its bombing on Lebanon…

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

Which Bibi won't do. He will have to stand trial in his corruption cases if the war is over.

Denise Donaldson's avatar

I read that the trial was supposed to begin today (on Shabbas??), but haven't seen an update.

djw's avatar

Bibi is serious about keeping it going until he takes over the whole Middle East.

Pauline Barraza's avatar

Yeah, he really means it too. Fuck Israel.

Anna Bolique's avatar

Or as long as he needs to avoid criminal prosecution. His trial will be held up as long as Israel is at war.

Leigh Hamilton's avatar

On the one hand, I'm kinda-sorta rooting for Iran, but on the other hand, those troops could be dead by lunchtime and that is unacceptable, tragic. But it will keep the war going full steam if Iran destroys a destroyer. Putin makes bank, Bibi delays corruption charges and commits more genocide, and Trump manipulates the stock market.

And all only at a cost of thousand or so of our military.

rlritt's avatar

Its so sick, but I've seen it time and again. They should never give power over weapons to stupid, vain men.

Mary Hall's avatar

After GeeDumbya Bush and his BS wars, can we all agree that we should never let sociopaths with daddy issues in our White House ever again? Thank you.

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

Silly me, I thought "W" would be the worst president of my lifetime.

Denise Donaldson's avatar

AMEN to that! Man, did we underestimate the potential for insanity and stupidity!

Susie's avatar

So fucking sadly true. 💔🇺🇸

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

I wish the right had your perception, but they are too busy flag-humping.

Leigh Hamilton's avatar

This is not good. If I were in the military, I'd refuse the orders.

SeekingReason's avatar

Meantime, our hard earned money is being used for war crimes and flushed down the toilet.

Mary Hall's avatar

And we are $39T in debt, largely thanks to tax cuts for billionaires and other assorted Rethuglican BS.

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

But we can't afford healthcare!

P123Sunny's avatar

where’s maga on the debt:

🦗🦗🦗❓

Brad Yazell's avatar

No mention of Melanoma's presser on Thursday?

Jeff Tiedrich's avatar

didn't I write a whole post about it yesterday?

BigDaddy52's avatar

Wish more people would mention the ludicrousity (new word!) of her blithering from behind a podium with the Presidential Seal. WTAF.

Mike Basile's avatar

Yes, you did! And, by God, it was a doozy!

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

The headline on it was absolute genius!

Nora's avatar

Yes, because you pointed out her use of "trival????" instead of the normal usage of "trivial". I'm thinking her Einstein Visa was a HOAX!

P123Sunny's avatar

(Wayne voice): “Now Jeff… your pills…” 😆😬

Brad Yazell's avatar

Yes. But Saturdays are special.

HI2thDoc's avatar

Why is Melania crashing out?

Is she afraid Amanda might spout

come clean and confess

About the whole Epstein mess

Could that be what this is about?

DJ Headthrob's avatar

She could confess to a veritable Circus Maximus with Donnie, Melania and an assorted menagerie of barnyard animals and it wouldn't make an iota of difference.

HI2thDoc's avatar

It may someday, when there is an actual functioning DOJ

Richard's avatar

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Leigh Hamilton's avatar

There is all kinds of speculation about why the first hooker of the united states held that presser. Melania can be subpoenaed to testify regarding her own involvement and knowledge of Epstein-Trump-Russia, and she's trying to get out in front of the story. OR - she's seen Pam Bondi willingly make statements and the Republicans circle the wagons around her with "But she's already told you everything; she doesn't need to be under oath". Melania is hoping for the same treatment.

Joe Witkowski's avatar

She’s afraid JizBrain Maxwell will spout

Mr Mild - BlueVotingBastard💙's avatar

That distraction only lasted a nano-Scaramucci. A femto-Liz Truss.

HI2thDoc's avatar

Wow, you skipped pico and went straight to femto.

Mr Mild - BlueVotingBastard💙's avatar

Nuts, I knew I took a wrong turn at Pico and Alverado.

Or maybe a wrong turn at Albequerque.

HI2thDoc's avatar

Bugs Bunny always did at Albukoikee

Mary Hall's avatar

That's right, Doc!

Ole Anderson's avatar

No mention of Melanoma’s presser on National news last night.

That’s strange.

Brian Riley's avatar

According to Trump we are now "clearing" the straight, I would point out that Ukraine doesn't have a navy either and Russia is missing a couple of capital ships.

That video of Trump as a Teletubby was pretty much on point.

Joan Serkin's avatar

Shouldn’t we be talking to someone in the Israeli government besides Netanyahu? He doesn’t want be in prison so he will keep on killing and destroying everything he can. The International Criminal Court has a warrant for him for war crimes.

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

They should spike his drink, and drop him off at the Hague.

Linda Weide's avatar

I missed a live following of the peace talks by Iran War Dispatches with Tim Mak. I any case, Malcolm Nance was saying yesterday that the US might try to do a stupid move like power through the Straight with a line of ships, which means that some of them might get blown up by land mines. We shall see what happens.

Meanwhile, I think that Trump should give Hungary our National debt. We owe 39 trillion. Since Orbán is such a whiz with the economy, let him take that on.

Wendymae's avatar

Axios is the only news outlet saying the US destroyer went through. Guessing not true?

Abby From Maine's avatar

Sounds about right. I know you were already thinking this!

If only Congress was alive and could see what is happening.

NEAL O'CONNOR's avatar

Time for a strongly worded letter to President Fumbledick!

HI2thDoc's avatar

aka The Schumer Strategy

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

And what do you propose he do in the MINORITY? He's held the line on not funding DHS.

HI2thDoc's avatar

I'm glad he did that. But to me he and Jeffries have not resisted forcefully enough. I agree with the House Dems who file for impeachment even though it will fail, that sort of thing

Diana's avatar

I think they’re all wearing those horse glasses so they can’t see on the sides- there’s a word for what I mean….hoping for Novembers midterm elections 🤞

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

I compare Squeaker Johnson to Sgt. Schultz on "Hogan's Heroes."

"I see nothing! I know nothing!"

rlritt's avatar

As of April 2026, House Democrats have filed new articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump (who took office Jan 20, 2025), citing actions in Iran, Gaza, and domestic use of the National Guard. The resolution, introduced by Rep. John Larson, faces long odds in the Republican-controlled House.

If only there was tech to have the Flippy McCrushnuts display as a GIF on the shirt.

Flo Plazo's avatar

or digital billboards across the nation

Diana's avatar

I say that about Dump- all his rally antics on billboards - making fun of disabled people etc. with some of his stupid phrases that makes no sense at all- long blinkes when he’s not the center of attention- the list goes on Flo….

HI2thDoc's avatar

Someone's gonna do it

Marc R Hapke's avatar

You could do it with a QR code.

Martha Howell's avatar

And he sent JD Vance, the Jesse Watters of tge Executive Branch, as chief negotiator. Look for Vance to say something so stupid a clueless middle school bully would have too much shame to utter it, then stand there waiting forever for Persian Daddy's love. We're doomed

Sharon Hudnall's avatar

Envision Vance braying at the Iranians "You never once thanked us! You never said thank you!"

Martha Howell's avatar

Tbf, they probably should. Never in their wildest dreams did they think they'd walk out of this with the US humiliated to this extent, a giant revenue stream from the Strait, and leverage to prevent attacks on their allies. Never bet against Trump's vanity, or his track record of breaking everything he touches.

Mr Mild - BlueVotingBastard💙's avatar

Best-selling author (it pains me to write that) JD Vance Iranian Negotiation BINGO:

- He makes an Aladdin joke,

- He tries to make a “Persian Golf” joke

- He tries to lighten the mood by wearing a Burqa

- He makes sure not to cover his eyes in the Burqa so they can see his eyeliner

- He claims he buys his eyeliner from the Iranian guy who owns the Bodega down the street.

- He tries to show how much empathy he has for the “Brown” people because he married one

DJ Headthrob's avatar

He shows his willingness to initiate sexual congress with the random ottoman and Persian rug.

HI2thDoc's avatar

He has femto charisma

myhoopbabies's avatar

And Vance is over there warning them, "Don't try to play me!" Yeah, hon, they won't have to try, you fuckers are doing a stellar job of playing yourselves and taking all of us down in the process. Vance is a joke.

Betsy L's avatar

I think the Iranians requested him. They didn't want Kushner or Witkoff because that's who they were negotiating with when America started bombing Iran. They hate Trump. Vance was the highest ranking guy they kinda-sorta trusted.

rlritt's avatar
3hEdited

And all Kushner wanted to know was how much was any agreement going to personally enrich him.

BigDaddy52's avatar

Trust. Right. Pretty sure the Iranians don't trust ANYONE in this regime. Guessing.trump sent him to have a scapegoat when shit hits the fan. Damaging vance helps rubio, who trump seems to be mildly boosting.

Susie's avatar

Interesting. And terrifying.

Joan Serkin's avatar

If they trust him at all they are crazy!

Mike Hammer's avatar

Did anyone else hear Hegseth say “Straight of Vermouth” instead of “Strait of Hormuz?”

Joyce's avatar

Kegseth thinks it's the Straight Up Vermouth.

HI2thDoc's avatar

After propping up the Argentine peso, lifting sanctions on Iranian oil and enabling them to now ransom the Strait, no surprise that he spends our national treasure helping dictator Orban. But okay, our own people don't need food, housing or healthcare. No wonder he's a rethuglican

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

Should Orban lose -- a distinct possibility -- look for Trump to start talking about how the election was "rigged."

Mr Mild - BlueVotingBastard💙's avatar

Just wait until the crew of Artemis II sees their share of the bill for plucking then out of the Pacific last night.

john augustine's avatar

I loved the fact that the NASA operations manager is from country of Columbia, one of the astronauts is a woman and the communications person is from Asia....wonder if ICE will target them.

Mr Mild - BlueVotingBastard💙's avatar

I saw that. Our son was adopted from Colombia. Unfortunately, didn’t catch her last name, her first name is Lily. I guess I’ll have to look it up.

Mr Mild - BlueVotingBastard💙's avatar

Thank you, I’ll let Mild Jr know.

Wendymae's avatar

Oops I just googled and it's actually got 2 Rs...and not to be a pedant but she uses Lili (saw it on her jacket last night) short for Liliana.

With as much aspirin as he's consuming on a daily basis, he probably has no blood clots.

George A. Polisner's avatar

Thank you Jeff.

I hope State AG's and local DA's are already looking at indictments and prosecutions of any member of Trump's criminal organization that has committed, directed, or aided state and local crimes such that the federal pardoning of a criminal act does not apply.

Trump. Patel. Noem. Bovino. Homan. Bondi. Vaught. Musk. Gabbard. Rubio. Vance. Election deniers. -all of them need to enjoy years of Zen time in orange jumpsuits.

I'm satisfied if it is served in a State prison.

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

Althought there would be a certain rough justice if it was served in El Salvador.

George A. Polisner's avatar

I would welcome any form of justice applied to this group of criminally corrupt sociopaths for their self-dealing, cruelty, and depraved indifference.

rlritt's avatar

The thing is knowing they might go to jail, will probably make them do whatever they can to stay in office. Even canceling elections. Trump has already warned that if Democrats take Congress in Nov, he will be impeached. We should expect all possible ways they can prevent or steal the elections including violence.

George A. Polisner's avatar

Very true. The deranged criminal elect is a cornered animal and is doing everything he can to misdirect from the crimes and corruption of this administration (and his previous administration). While he continues to destroy, test, and probe any remaining societal guardrails -the GOP is complicit in the supportive actions and/or silence.

rlritt's avatar

Absolutely correct. We need to take this very seriously.

He has so far crashed every guardrail, disregarded every norm, and broken any laws he found inconvenient.

djw's avatar

Or Alligator Alcatraz

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

Only if Ron DeSantis was sent there as well.

Mary Hall's avatar

100% -- T💩p said he was going to pardon everyone in his maladministration, but that won't work with state charges.

Anna Bolique's avatar

State prosecutions will be the only way, since President Pedo plans to issue a blanket pardon to his entire administration.

The entire planet won’t be forgetting how a sadist, wicked 5 year old and his cruel enablers caused enough anxiety and mistrust by the former “great power” that used to be the United States to nearly move the earth out of orbit.
