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!

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

Denise: wouldn't THAT be 'loverly'? We could 'negotiate' for his release - take lots of time, one of the conditions being that he never hold office in ANY capacity...AND be put in prison for his 34 convictions PLUS tried at The Hague for war crimes. Sigh - I can dream too, can't I?

Denise Donaldson's avatar

I don't think we should even make a pretense of negotiating for his release. Just let them keep him forever.

Gets us off the hook for the expense. Let them try him, convict him, and dump him in an oubliette.

Linda Weide's avatar

Yup! Well, he can bring Barron with him.

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

his entire wastrel LIFE has been one of utter bullshittery. He's never physically worked a single day in his life, never actually 'built' anything BUT sticks his fake family name onto everything someone ELSE designed and built (while he borrowed the money which he never paid back in full - as always). His entire life has been one of living on Banks' monies. I remember his daughter telling what she thought was a cute story of going out in NY with him, seeing a homeless guy and her 'daddy' telling her that that homeless man 'had more money' than he did. She responded with her 'oh, c'mon' giggles, but he was serious. I doubt she got the point. But he was telling the truth: the homeless guy was flat broke, living on the streets, no job, no income BUT wasn't living on borrowed money in a rented building someone ELSE was paying for - like her dada. That's how he's conned the entire country - pretending to be 'richy rich'. In fact he LOST all the money his own dada gave him so got by with loans AND scam after scam after scam (such as his fake 'University', copying Omaha steaks and selling bottled water even Sylvester Stallone (after doing a taste test) said he wouldn't wash his socks in. Sly had his own water - which despite no identifying labels, he recognized and loved BY its taste (I think it was on the Letterman show). Every single one of frump's scams failed - and failed BIGLY as in the case of the Casinos. His latest scams are in OUR White House and now Iran. It needs to end. He's desperately trying to criminalize Letitia James who was able to FIND HIM GUILTY with a New York Jury of his peers! Put on hold because Jack Smith felt he couldn't proceed since frump was now 'president', but there's NO reason it can't be continued once he's out (either by impeachment OR us tossing him the fuck out as the warmonger he is).

Hollie Rood's avatar

Just bc a POTUS has never spent any time in jail after being FOUND GUILTY of FELONY charges, doesn’t mean he can’t/shouldn’t 🤬You described tRUMP and his disgusting, cheating, lying life to a tee Elizabeth.The precedents set by “we can’t do such and such bc he’s now POTUS” is SICKENING and IMMORALLY REPUGNANT Laws NEED to change despite the Constitution still being the same Constitution. The 🍊🤡🐖has taught us, “It’s not failure, it’s feedback” and we MUST take that feedback and make impactful, MEANINGFUL changes and see his ass in prison, not to mention, make or try to make any copycat trying to follow in his footsteps, truly stop and think TWICE before doing the same thing.

P.S. Who, out there, are THEE one(s) to file charges that will have tRUMP stand before the International Criminal Court in The Hague?? Are they taking notes and thinking, if not I/we, then who? I sure as HELL know the Repugnants in office, don’t have the balls to do something. I also am keenly aware it isn’t an easy undertaking, but the evil narcissistic warmonger In Chief, needs to be held responsible for his actions and his behavior.

P123Sunny's avatar

Funny how the feds all HONOR a frk’n MEMO abt not indicting a sitting president… meanwhile in other news, the Constituiition(?!?!?)

Morgan's avatar

Yup that’s all that Orange Shitstain does 🙄 Weasel Dick MFKR

Frank Nuts's avatar

I like your style Morgan!

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.

https://lindaweide.substack.com/p/study-abroad?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web

Abby From Maine's avatar

I will advise my 23 year old grandson to sign up right after Barron signs up.

Linda Weide's avatar

Abby, several of my friend's son's have to register for the draft in the US and another country. A country in the EU that the US may be fighting against. It is not a good situation.

Abby From Maine's avatar

Awful! This grandson was born in England, but his parents were expats, so he's now a US citizen. I will fight not to have anyone I know not go fight the orange maniac's crazy wars!

Bonnie Council's avatar

The problem with that idea as I see it is that all the wealthy people will actually do that, so only the poor and uneducated will be left to fight trump's war. But then I believe that's been his (and the Heritage Foundation's) plan all along.

Linda Weide's avatar

I don't see all the wealthy people doing it. Americans hardly go to University abroad for more than a semester. They pay tons of money for an education that they could get for free elsewhere because they are marketed to by the universities. So, No! I don't see a big wave of wealthy Americans studying abroad except for a semester, because no one thinks of it. It is the other way around, where others come to the US, although 2025 saw a negative immigration. That is more left than came. We shall see.

I will point out that poor people come from African and study here in Germany because the tuition is free. There are also lots of people from India. So, why can they manage this, but poor Americans cannot? It is the idea of what you can do that is missing. The poor mostly think everything American is the best, and do not question their lot, or whether it could be better somewhere else. A lot of wealthy people do not do that either.

Bonnie Council's avatar

Interesting. Food for thought. Thanks.

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?

Robert Eckert's avatar

The Iranian negotiator in Pakistan reportedly called it a violation of the ceasefire.

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!

Vicki Greene's avatar

He'll say he didn't think they would really do it. Just bluffing.

Bonnie Council's avatar

Risking the actual lives and limbs of our military personnel is the hegseth version of a video game. I really, really, really hope he stands trial for war crimes.

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.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

I desperately want Jared, Eric and Donnie Jr grilled for weeks in Congress once the Democrats take over. They hectored Hunter Biden for borrowing a few thousand dollars from his dad for a car — which had nothing to do with our government or getting rich from it. Now it's their turn.

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?

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

Vance wanted quick, total destructive strikes, I’m not sure why they want him in there, unless they want to watch a stunod on a couch!

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.

Carthago Delenda Est's avatar

Back in the day, the French used a form of imprisonment known as an oubliette. Once you were thrown down in one, there was literally no way out of it. Thrown down and forgotten about for eternity.

I could see that for them.

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

Lèse-majesté! Love oubliette’s, guillotines and the basket displaying the cretinous wastrels heads. The French certainly had a way with punishment!

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.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

Bibi and Donny should be sharing a prison cell. I wouldn't mind if they stuffed Vladi in there too.

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

Sounds like a great drama, one shiv, three evil men.

Robert Eckert's avatar

I'd settle for them sharing a grave plot

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

You’re so very correct again Natalie.

SPW's avatar

And BiBi isn’t likely to do that because he would have to go back on trial. As long as a state of “war” continues, he can stay out of court.

Robert Eckert's avatar

Apparently this is not the case. The court is determined to keep going.

Robert Eckert's avatar

They won't talk to Israel anyway.

Frank Nuts's avatar

You’re right Patrick. And Boom Boom Bibi will never stop bombing unless Trump threatened to stop funding Bibi’s war machine. But that ain’t gonna happen.

AuntTeeFa's avatar

NO it ait ogen!

Backwards, just like the idiots to represent as diplomats.

More like dipshits

djw's avatar

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

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.

Pauline Barraza's avatar

Yeah, he really means it too. Fuck Israel.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

He's going to keep going as long as he needs to in order to keep his sorry ass out of prison.

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

He requires space for all Israelis to return for the eschatological process to happen.

djw's avatar

Well, Pete seems to think he can bring about Armageddon. Think that'll do it?

Frank Nuts's avatar

You’re right Punkette. Bibi doesn’t want to go anywhere near peace. The more war fronts the better. He really does deserve the Nobel War Prize; although, Dumpy Trump could give him a run for his money.

Punkette's avatar

Haha, Frank! Nobel War Prize! I love that 😆

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.

arne link's avatar

I know, right? How naive we were. Dear God, I hope that Drumpf will be the worst president ever. It is sickening to imagine someone worse being in charge.

Denise Donaldson's avatar

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

Robert Eckert's avatar

I'm so old I remember thinking Nixon would be the worst President of my lifetime.

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

Me too, but I was a cocky teenager convinced we would get better. I figured we would legalize marijuana within a decade, because it made no sense to use a euphoric plant to put people in jail. Not when alcohol was legal.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

I know. I sometimes still shake my head. I remember how much I despised Cheney and now ... I don't know, he doesn't seem as bad as what's happening now.

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!

arne link's avatar

It was hard for her to read the notes in English.

Carthago Delenda Est's avatar

Just now, you're thinking of this?

The claim that she has a degree in architecture?

The claim that she speaks 7 languages?

Was any of the above a clue, maybe?

Nora's avatar

I was being sarcastic. I think anyone with a quarter of a brain knew what she was and was not from the get go.

Robert Eckert's avatar

she actually meant to say it was "drivel"

Brad Yazell's avatar

Yes. But Saturdays are special.

P123Sunny's avatar

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

DJ Headthrob's avatar

I hope you're right. But the next two plus years will be a total waste.

HI2thDoc's avatar

The time since 1/20/25 has been, so why expect anything different

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.

HI2thDoc's avatar

And that idiot Comer set a precedent of having subpoenaed a former First Lady. Maybe M will beg off saying she’s no lady, as you suggested

Carthago Delenda Est's avatar

And Pammie Jo is no longer AG. Note Hillary Clinton here.

Richard'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.

STRAIT, people… please…

Robert Eckert's avatar

We could start calling it the Queer of Hormuz

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.

Wendymae's avatar

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

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.

kathiallyson's avatar

[encore] STRAIT, people… please… 🙄

Brian Riley's avatar

Oops :P And it's not even a straight strait, it sorta bends...

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

To ME, that uncaring fuckwit WANTS one of our ships taken out just so he can claim Iran 'deserves' to be 'bombed back into the Stone Age' (a line probably given to him by goebbels/miller). I wouldn't put ANYTHING past either of those 2 beyond-evil bastids. The lives of our military mean NOTHING to them anymore than a plastic figurine of a toy soldier would. Now they want to DRAFT American boys on their 18th birthdays - except Barron of course - who's turning 20. NO frump has ever served in any military - y'know, the suckers and losers as he described them to John Kelly, himself a GOLD STAR Father!

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.

At least the attempt is out there signaling that there is resistance.

Where are the REPUBLICAN Congress critters whose JOB it is to hold him accountable?! ALL the Democratic lawmakers save a couple) are doing THEIR jobs, we need to remind ourselves of that fact.

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

Frank Nuts's avatar

Doc, I searched through two pages of comments on Femto till someone finally said what it was and have come to the conclusion that is a very good, accurate and precise description! I’m afraid if I delve into Femto any more I might get sucked into a black hole.

HI2thDoc's avatar

It was covered back in college physics. The prefixes denoting metric units have in the 40+ ensuing years become much more common-knowledge but back then nano, pico, femto, giga, tera, and peta were very obscure

Frank Nuts's avatar

Doc, I guess I blew it in how you were using Femto. I guess I stumbled onto a modern day usage that is totally different. I’ll do some more digging

HI2thDoc's avatar

Don't feel badly, Frank. It was sort of an inside joke, I think aimed at Mr Blue Voting Bastard, who referenced femto earlier. Scroll up and look for his posts.

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

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

Frank Nuts's avatar

Isn’t that the sad sick truth, rlritt?

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.

I know you’re right Betsy; but jeez, if Vance is the best we got, only couches will be thrilled (or terrified)

Betsy L's avatar

You're so right. Sigh.

Carthago Delenda Est's avatar

IMO, he sent Couchfuck on a suicide mission. Vance has absolutely zero chance of success. especially with Thing One and Thing Two accompanying him. I doubt that the Orange Pustule is that strategic. Most likely, Stephen Miller dripped poison in his ear. But still.

The person who should be negotiating with the Iranians is the Secretary of State--Marco Rubio. He has the gravitas (such as it is) and the experience; while the 3 Bears have neither.

Orange has already decided he wants Rubio to succeed him and not Vance.

Things can only get more interesting from here on out.

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

Kegseth thinks it's the Straight Up Vermouth.

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."

I wish that our last election had not been rigged. It most certainly was, though.

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

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.

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.

No “Por” but rather “Spot on” Doc. My fat thumbs do me no favors.

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

A massive brain or gastric bleed, thanks to all that aspirin-thinned blood, might do the honor instead.

If South Crackerlina Dems don't use that, the Little Mermaid bubble wand pic, and the video of his drunken cackling and blither on Air Force 1 in oppo advertising this year, they don't deserve to win. Every public utterance from him is opposition gold.

South Crackerlina Dems 😂🤣

Frank Nuts's avatar

Big Daddy, I think you need to offer your services to the Dems. We need all the help we can get. What’s obvious to you and the rest of us often seems to slip through the cracks.

BigDaddy52's avatar

Usually get a response of 'okay, old man. Thanks for your input.' Much like when I reach out to the red menaces repping SC.

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.

Dave Drell's avatar

He’s a cornered “extreme narcissist” - nothing worse than that.

Frank Nuts's avatar

With you all the way George, to all your posts

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.

I'd rather eat spam, peas and liver

Or live in a van by the river

Than be a soulless jackflunky

Scratchin' pits like a monkey

Than to take take and take, never givers.

Their bottomless pit of ill need

Will never be filled with their greed

They're wretched and foul

They don't smile, only scowl

If you prick them, they never will bleed.

I was trying to remember whether I had bought new tires for the car I sold to my sister last year.

I told her that last year was a decade ago.

I long for the leadership of the Democratic presidencies when I was not reading social media posts of an angry, old grievance-hoarder in the morning, wondering if today is the day he will destroy the world. It is like a kick in the groin every day! Thanks, Trump voters! He's wandering around with his mental illness and our nuclear codes!

A week for the records. And still no journalist steadfast enough to win the JeffTiedrichChallenge™️

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.

With their big losing loser negotiated retreat, at least we’re all still here.

Except for those murdered by the bloodthirsty Netanyahooo whose trial should have started today.
