You look at dementia centers, the better of them are well aware of the nocturnal sundowning that takes place in late-stage patients, and they design around it instead of fighting it. I read about one facility that’s basically a looping night-walk: a wide corridor in a circle, with way stations every few yards where residents can pause in settings their brains still recognize. There’s a 1950s-style diner nook that always has two tiny pancakes and coffee, a TV room permanently tuned to late TCM and old variety shows, a “front porch” with fake twilight and crickets on a loop, even a little newsstand with yesterday’s papers.
The idea is not to drag them back into our clock, but to give shape and comfort to theirs: let them walk, pause, remember for a second who they were, then keep orbiting until their bodies finally agree to rest.
Anyone who has dealt with a parent of grandparent with dementia sees this for what it is. Complicating this is the fact Trump is and always was a truly horrible person with severe narcissistic personality disorders that may include ASPD (common with serial killers, war criminals, and CEOS) and surround him with complete complicity, and here we are.
I've posted this on other forums, and the content has been misunderstood and thus I"ve been chastised for it, SOOOO....let me start by saying I absolutely DO not like tRump, at all. PERIOD.
That being said, AS A HUMAN BEING, I feel badly that another human can so obviously be in cognitive decline and truly (imho) have absolutely ZERO persons who love them enough to care for them. I firmly believe that not a single one of his KIDS, current or former WIVES, or any single person at Mar-a-Lago, in the Cabinet, or in MAGAland loves him---he is all just a conduit for money and/or power.
IF anyone loved him, they'd have him in a residential community where there was low stressors, a constant routine, AND (since he seems to be developing the aphasia that my late Alzheimer's impacted brother had) in speech therapy to try to maintain what he has left.
People told me he is reaping what he sowed. Yup, I agree. My point is when looking at him abstractedly, I find it sad to be THAT alone in the world. In an ideal world, nobody would be that alone, yet also in my ideal world, a "Trump" would never exist.
I've seen dementia up close in both sides of our family. What is coming isn't going to be very dignified at all--and if his family loved him, they'd not let his decline be on full view to the world. IF not happening already, a hallmark of EVERY family member that has had cognitive decline has been incontinence of bladder (first) and then bowel (in the middle/late stages).
If this is hell, it is not hell enough. The man has caused immense suffering to an ever-widening circle, starting with his family and school mates and growing to include the entire world. Is he at fault? Certainly, but the true blame rests with the enablers who use the screen of his apeshit tyranny to achieve their own sadistic ends (and enrich themselves). The Democrats are also complicit. They have an enormous amount of power, but their corporate masters enjoy this chaos and are getting richer and more powerful. The rotten, corrupt system is at fault, and we’re still so smitten with the Myth of America we won’t address it.
J Hardy, I'd visit my brother and have to sit in my car sobbing before I was able to drive home. He became very fearful of the staff, and so would fight being bathed. When he was about a year from dying, the aphasia took over and his frustration at trying to communicate his thoughts, or understand what was being said to him was horrible. I don't know if he gave up or the aphasia took over so at the end, his vocabulary was limited to a few single words. He had a haunted look in his eyes that I didn't know how to bridge the abyss to reach him. The last half dozen visits--he had forgotten who I was--I'd simply sit holding his hand and gently massaging it, as I could see him visibly relax, and he'd fall asleep.
I think this is what is coming for him, but who will attempt to calm him?
I don't know what punishment would be enough for tRump--I'd like to see him rot in prison and his grifting family reduced to poverty.
I'm not quite as bitter as you seem to be (and you might have good reason to be so) but I am hoping that we will flip the government and real change which will benefit "we the people" and not the billionaires, will come. It will take time.
Thanks. I am sorry you had to experience that sort of suffering. It is a cruel affliction for a family to witness. I am not so much bitter as I am angry. I want to not only flip the government, but remake it so it serves the common people. Laws that apply to wealthy as well as poor. Address the wrongs of the past and remake this so the actions match the oratory. The system has failed the people by functioning exactly as the Federalist slaveowners designed it to function.
I agree, Sharon. My point in all this is it is a shame that a human could exist without a single person who truly loves him--not this cult worship. I have no sympathy for Trump the man.
Sometimes, mercy to a person who doesn't deserve it, and has been cruel his whole life, isn't about him, it's about us. I think he knows that everybody around him now, including his kids, is only using him. If he has cognition left, yes, prison. If he's deeper in dementia, he can go to a memory care, and we'll see how many people, even his kids, will bother to visit him.
I personally feel like we, and the whole world, are witnessing his "punishment" in real time. He has chosen a life centralized around greed, pursuit of power over others, misogyny, racism, bigotry etc... He is weakness personified. He is every bad choice any of us have every made, personified. We are watching the devolution of a person who chooses all of that destructiveness. If he were sitting in a prison cell, we wouldn't be able to see it.
Please, what is this "enormous amount of power" the Democrats have which they are declining to use? And don't say "impeachment" unless you explain how they get to 67 votes to convict in THIS Senate.
I could not agree more. Saying stuff like that is kneecapping ourselves. I see great Democrats standing up and speaking out every day. When we retake the House (and hopefully the Senate) these heroes WILL fight for us. But we make that less likely when we tell people how useless Democrats are for not doing things they currently have no power to do.
Because they voted for the bigot king and moved on with their lives. I keep saying this because I have MAGA fam and friends. They Do. Not. Watch. his derranged Oval Bordello clown shows. They Do. Not. See. the fucktastically idiotic congressional inquiries. They Do. Not. Watch. his official primetime pre-empting grievance monologues.
The rallies are over. They have no bandwidth to stay tuned. He's hating on non-white people and that's enough. Everything else is just blah blah blah.
No, the Democrats do NOT "have an enormous amount of power" and the people who say this are grabbing their coattails and trying to pull them back into even less power. We cannot retake ANY power if we become a circular firing squad. I get the frustration, but our own side shouldn't be the target (especially when we degrade our most effective people and lavish praise on bright shiny objects on our side. I won't name names but it happens constantly.)
It had to be locked out of a cabinet meeting because it wouldn’t stop ranting about a U.S. plane being shot down in Iran. Apparently it went on for hours and would not shut the fuck up. It is losing control of its impulses (what little control it had). One of these episodes is going to be in full view of the world. Frankly, I’m looking forward to that moment. Speaking of losing bowel control, its Oval Office thing with Joe Rogan last week was cut short with security suddenly rushing everyone out while it just sat there like an idiot. Apparently, it shit itself. Again. It hasn’t had bowel control for years, according to Noel Casler who produced its stupid game show. It’s from decades of cocaine and stimulant abuse. orange anus face is a very unwell thing.
Dave, based on family history, I can expect to see him spontaneously remove all clothing and walk in public areas fully nude; forget how to use cutlery and make every food a finger food; on the rare occasion of using the bathroom smear feces on the wall and about the toilet; start to steal from others and hoard objects in odd places. (he's probably doing that last onealready....)
You exemplify what I HATE about this administration: the cruelty of MAGA to anyone they consider "other" makes me so angry! I am angry that they make me really, really have intolerance towards Republicans, and I DO NOT want to allow them to strip my humanity from me!! Referring to Trump as "it" is certainly your right--and I bet many people agree with you!--but again, as much as I dislike him and hate what he is doing to the world, I will fight the urge to become what they are. II would not be surprised if many in his orbit think of him as an "It" and if you deal by calling him "it" and it helps you, so be it. As for me, I honestly look for the Big, Beautiful Obituary first each morning.
I hate also how he has degraded the position AND the office of the POTUS (I think the gold geegaws are a sign.)
I would not call anyone an "it" but I have stopped capitalizing trump for years now. Others deserve that as well, but I decided he is the worst of the worst and does not deserve the respect that capitalizing a name implies to me.
I've had that thought that since he likes to constantly refer to Obama by using his full name, emphasis on the middle one, perhaps people should start using the REAL surname: Drumpf
I won’t use its name. It has earned my hatred for what it’s done to my country, to my fellow citizens, to people I would otherwise like and respect. The “it” thing is new for me. I previously only referred to it by monikers like “orange anus mouth” or “butthole mouth.” It deserves no respect of any kind. “Hate” has become a very loaded word. Hating others for the color of their skin or their heritage or any number of other traits they have no control over is not the same as hating an individual for specific harmful acts they have committed. Raping a child (or an adult) reduces a person to subhuman status, in my opinion.
Plastering his ugly name on every federal building is a form of hoarding, like a senile dog marking every piece of furniture in. the house. Put him down.
And each and every one of those self-righteous sickophants(sic) deserves the foul stench of bowel that will, hopefully, permeate their memories until they join this foul man in one of Dante's Eight Circles of Hell. And yet we all know that he could drop a deuce on the Resolute Desk and not lose a single vote.
I'm sorry for you and your mom, Linda. My late sister in law suffered from THREE different cancers over nearly 3 decades and fought them all, but each one reduced her further and further to the point it was will only that simple will to live that kept her going. Her daughter told me that between the suffering from cancer, or the decline of dementia, the dementia was harder to watch.
The bar for the 25th is too high. It won't happen. But impeachment and removal certainly can. Another constitutional crisis for us! Yay!
Maybe at some point we'll realize that the foundational document isn't gospel so much as a series of compromises that allowed slave-owners to keep their property while adhering to the freedom rhetoric.
"We" don't get to do anything with the 25th Amendment. It has to be invoked by Vance and a majority of the Cabinet, and that isn't going to be happening.
My dear dad battled dementia for 7 years. He was not satanic like Orange Hitler. *FUCK DONALD TRUMP* - Satan in John of Patmos’ vision in the Book of Revelation.
As someone who lost both parents to different forms of dementia, I have not heard of this, but would have loved to have been able to place my parents in a facility like this.
He was placed in assisted living when he was in moderate stages. He received P/T and speech therapy. (I sat outside and listened. It was painful. They handed him a fork and asked the name, and he couldn't bring it up. I can still hear the anguish in his voice telling them "I KNOW what it's used for, I just can't remember what it's called!"
Then COVID hit, and the care stopped, and he couldn't understand what was going on. I really can't write anymore about that. Year from hell for the entire world, and Trump the jerk helped make it worse. So, again, no love lost between me and Trump.
ADP (auditory processing disorder) is something I am unfamiliar with and I was unaware that it was suggested that Trump had it. I may have seen it in the past but glibly read past it because I didn’t know what it meant. Thanks J Hardy for bringing that up.
Trump has so many serious mental disorders that it’s hard to keep track of them. He moves from one disorder to the next with such speed that it’s hard to keep from getting vertigo; and, sometimes, he combines two or more of them at once making one’s head spin uncontrollably. And while you’re trying to digest what just happened he races off to the next clusterfuck of a spectacle.
It’s like his lies — he fires them off in such rapid succession that by the time you fact check the first one he had spit out four more.
He’s like “Pigpen” only the cloud that follows him is cloud of confusion and disinformation spiced with false certainty and (I am told) with an aroma of ass music.
He should be put in a cage in a traveling circus with a sign saying “Modern World Biological Oddity”
That would be more accurate than “President of the United States”.
As an alternative, I suppose, his title could be “Donald j Trump, placeholder”
Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) is a mental health condition marked by a long‑term pattern of violating the rights of others, ignoring social norms and laws, and showing little or no remorse for harmful behavior.
Funny how the clouds are all in exactly the same positions in both pictures. Comments pointed out that the ducks and the joggers are also in the positions. What the hell was he even trying to accomplish with these two pictures? I don't get the point.
it's been painted blue. someone posted a comparison of it while Obama was prez & now on his SM account (most of those posts aren't by him)
Let's see how it looks in August
kind of low on the to-do list after restoring democracy, etc. but we need to figure out how to prevent a future prez from desecrating federal property like the felon is. that's OUR property, not the president's.
Your term "sundowning" is why Trump should be kept off of social media all night long. There can be no end to this war as long as he is allowed to post, because he will just piss off Iran again.
Meanwhile, how is it an insult to Obama to have vegetables on his plate while Trump has what looks like mush.
I loved this! I remember intently staring at the back of our hands (biology majors) and believing we could see the blood cells traveling through the veins, 😂🤣😂! Very dangerous behavior!
Can’t the Iranians or some clever kid in their basement hack Truth Social and lock him out of it? The world would instantly be a finer and nobler place again
The Iranians, Russkis, Chinese, Macedonians, etc. who are accomplished hackers are too smart to limit him. They know he is the best tool to divide and weaken America. And is he ever a tool
Yeah, and do it in such a way that he would not notice. He would see posts, but in reality they are not public and on the real site. I'm sure there is a way do that.
BUT then how would we know how messed up he really is?
A serious question: there are plenty of pictures of Trump with Epstein surrounded by others - including several of Trump grabbing the women. Why have those individuals not been identified by the press and interviewed about the circumstances of their contact with him?
Oh they have been. Women have given testimony under oath. He has been accused of horrible things, but the proof is in the unredacted Epstein files, which, honestly, have probably been burned by now.
I wonder if anyone has suggested to Donny that if slept at night instead of tweeting from his golden toilet, he might be able to keep his eyes open during daytime meetings.
I don't know if he actually writes this stuff or he has someone else do it while he sleeps. He is certainly sleeping during the day. If Jeebus is sparking a fat one I suppose he is too mellow to help us get rid of this fool.
I doubt that sleep is possible. I read that he drinks 12-14 Diet Cokes in a day... that is a whopping big load of caffeine. Add to that the powdered Adderall tablets he is accused of snorting...
So much stupid shit this week…it never ends does it??? End soon please…my bottle of champagne stares me in the face every time I open the refrigerator…OPEN ME! lol
I made the huge mistake of buying a bottle of champagne for celebrating the expected eviseration of the Don-Old during the debate between him and Biden. I drank it down during the debate instead, and then contemplated suicide.
Never again will I buy champagne in advance of any event that includes trump.
I bought a bottle of champagne in 2016 to celebrate our first woman president. Instead, I had a panic attack, called my stepmother crying and drank the whole bottle with tears streaming down my eyes. I haven’t touched champagne since.
I've heard that there's a pair of breweries in Wisconsin that are going to be pouring free beer on that glad day. While you're waiting, you can get a t-shirt from them that says "I Wish Today Was Free Beer Day" in red, white and blue letters.
My husband goes to a coffee shop religiously every day at 7am and when we still had a sliver of hope that the pilonidal cyst (thank you Seth for coming up with this) would serve jail time, he promised to bring grappa in for everyone there should this ever happen. Bottle of grappa still sits unopened, sigh.
I watch her YouTubes as well, as well as "Belle of the Ranch" and sometimes, Michael Cohen.
Just sayin' that the comments discussions on HCR's forum get very deep, and a little humor would be a nice palate chaser. And your comments actually DO make me LOL!
I have changed my opinion of Cohen. I bought his book, Disloyal, and he seemed genuinely contrite about all the shit he did for drumpf, but now I wonder if he wasn't faking it for money. And surely he must know things about the Epstein trafficking ring. Subpoena his ass
I agree. He's actually a good writer and I used to read his stuff once in a while, but I can't get past his complicity in so much of Trump's hideous behavior. You know he knows where the bodies are buried and he probably dug the holes. Subpoena his ass, indeed.
You know what, Doc--that thought seems to be behind his fight with the MidasTouch network.
This is my honest opinion--I don't think he knew about Epstein, and this is why I think it: Cohen was an underling tool for Trump. Cohen wasn't rich (he had to take a loan, I believe, to pay off Stormy) and had no particular reason for Trump to include him in the elites. Just a mudsill to him. I have this feeling that Trump thought he was better than Cohen, so he wasn't worthy. Cohen appears to truly despise Trump and I think if he had goods on him, he'd be dumping.
I don't blame him for writing the book, as I don't know how he would have made a living for himself. Who would hire him? The stink of Trump on him can't be washed off, and MAGA sure wouldn't hire him. He does have his podcasts which I enjoy because I think he has a better take on him than most of the pundits out there, having observed him for about 15 years.
Who else thinks that he will come up with a last minute excuse to NOT attend the White House Correspondents Dinner? WTF. He's supposed to be "headlining" his meme coin Gala this evening at Mar-a-Lardo. Is he going to phone it in? I'm confused.
Oh and Kkkarolyin is off to give birth, hopefully we will never see her darken the doorway of the Press Room again.
Then I saw a beast come out of the sea with ten horns and seven heads; on its horns were ten diadems, and on its heads blasphemous name[s].a
2
The beast I saw was like a leopard, but it had feet like a bear’s, and its mouth was like the mouth of a lion.* b To it the dragon gave its own power and throne, along with great authority.
3
I saw that one of its heads seemed to have been mortally wounded, but this mortal wound was healed.* Fascinated, the whole world followed after the beast.
4
They worshiped the dragon because it gave its authority to the beast; they also worshiped the beast* and said, “Who can compare with the beast or who can fight against it?”
5
* The beast was given a mouth uttering proud boasts and blasphemies,c and it was given authority to act for forty-two months.*
6
It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling and those who dwell in heaven.
7
It was also allowed to wage war against the holy ones and conquer them, and it was granted authority over every tribe, people, tongue, and nation.d
8
All the inhabitants of the earth will worship it, all whose names were not written from the foundation of the world in the book of life, which belongs to the Lamb who was slain.e
9
Whoever has ears ought to hear these words.f
10
Anyone destined for captivity goes into captivity.
Anyone destined to be slain by the sword shall be slain by the sword.g
Then I saw another beast come up out of the earth; it had two horns like a lamb’s but spoke like a dragon.
12
It wielded all the authority of the first beast in its sight and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound had been healed.
13
It performed great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in the sight of everyone.h
14
It deceived the inhabitants of the earth with the signs it was allowed to perform in the sight of the first beast, telling them to make an image for the beast who had been wounded by the sword and revived.
15
It was then permitted to breathe life into the beast’s image, so that the beast’s image could speak and [could] have anyone who did not worship it put to death.i
16
It forced all the people, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to be given a stamped image on their right hands or their foreheads,j
17
so that no one could buy or sell except one who had the stamped image of the beast’s name or the number that stood for its name.
18
* k Wisdom is needed here; one who understands can calculate the number of the beast, for it is a number that stands for a person. His number is six hundred and sixty-six.
Thanks for the pot reference. Reminds me of a favorite saying of mine. Four guys getting drunk will start a fight. Four guys getting high will start a band.
Speaking of shitting, Trump’s whole persona is late-stage bodily-failure authoritarian chic. A sweaty, rambling, barely coherent old man rage-typing deranged TruthSocial posts that are treated by the mainstream press as something between a Supreme Court ruling and Papal Bull.
This morning we learned of Kash's TWO public urination arrests "when he was younger." Trump would see this as JV-level public tinkling when he clearly expects the full MAGA blowout of pants-shitting in public like a real man of history, preferably into a monogrammed adult diaper with an eagle on it (available at the MAGA store for only 39.95)
If you’re on Team Retribution and your big flex is public urination, that’s not exactly the stuff of strongman myth. You’re basically the Proud Boys’ junior-varsity hydration issue.
It fits. Trump’s whole aesthetic has always been about escalation: from “I barely know the guy” to “I only hired the best people” to “that never happened” in three sentences, so you know somewhere in his withered brain he’s thinking, “Why are my guys just peeing in public when they could be soiling themselves for the cause?”
His lieutenants aspire to full trouser catastrophe. Shitting is where True Policy is born!
Maybe a return to MAGA diaper era: of rallies where people showed up in giant diapers and “Baby Trump” cosplay to own the libs and somehow also own their own dignity.
In that context, Kash’s little puddle feels off-brand; if you’re not willing to go full Depends Patriot, are you even committed to the movement.
Wait a few days for Hannity segment earnestly explaining how Real Men don’t take bathroom breaks because that’s what communists do.
Can you believe that?!? He is selling gold coins with his face on it and asking for money. Isn't there some law against president's profiting from a scam while in office?
This is how broken I am: I can't laugh at the idiot maga-verse anymore, the best I can do is cringe. This past week has been PTSD inducing. I no longer open my emails with any hope of 'good news'. It's not Jeff's fault! His posts are still the highpoint of my mornings. It's just that I wake up early these days, so by the time Jeff's posts drop I've already seen the horrors of the day and I'm too depressed to laugh at anything.
I go on news fasts if it gets too overwhelming (and it gets too overwhelming a lot). Spend that time outdoors instead. You won't miss anything earth shattering in the news and you'll get a dose of vitamin D. Also, hugging dogs really helps my mental health. And gazing at beautiful art. Or shitty art. Just something that isn't around the clock doom and gloom. ❤️
today in Shit That Happened While I Was Busy Writing This Shit —
our mentally ill preznit is still shitting out dozens of batship posts on his crappy app

You look at dementia centers, the better of them are well aware of the nocturnal sundowning that takes place in late-stage patients, and they design around it instead of fighting it. I read about one facility that’s basically a looping night-walk: a wide corridor in a circle, with way stations every few yards where residents can pause in settings their brains still recognize. There’s a 1950s-style diner nook that always has two tiny pancakes and coffee, a TV room permanently tuned to late TCM and old variety shows, a “front porch” with fake twilight and crickets on a loop, even a little newsstand with yesterday’s papers.
The idea is not to drag them back into our clock, but to give shape and comfort to theirs: let them walk, pause, remember for a second who they were, then keep orbiting until their bodies finally agree to rest.
Anyone who has dealt with a parent of grandparent with dementia sees this for what it is.

J Hardy, I'd visit my brother and have to sit in my car sobbing before I was able to drive home. He became very fearful of the staff, and so would fight being bathed. When he was about a year from dying, the aphasia took over and his frustration at trying to communicate his thoughts, or understand what was being said to him was horrible. I don't know if he gave up or the aphasia took over so at the end, his vocabulary was limited to a few single words.

I'm not quite as bitter as you seem to be (and you might have good reason to be so) but I am hoping that we will flip the government and real change which will benefit "we the people" and not the billionaires, will come. It will take time.
Thanks. I am sorry you had to experience that sort of suffering. It is a cruel affliction for a family to witness. I am not so much bitter as I am angry. I want to not only flip the government, but remake it so it serves the common people. Laws that apply to wealthy as well as poor. Address the wrongs of the past and remake this so the actions match the oratory. The system has failed the people by functioning exactly as the Federalist slaveowners designed it to function.
Me, too, J Hardy. Me, too.
Mercy to the criminal is cruelty to society in this case.
I agree, Sharon. My point in all this is it is a shame that a human could exist without a single person who truly loves him--not this cult worship. I have no sympathy for Trump the man.
Sometimes, mercy to a person who doesn't deserve it, and has been cruel his whole life, isn't about him, it's about us. I think he knows that everybody around him now, including his kids, is only using him. If he has cognition left, yes, prison. If he's deeper in dementia, he can go to a memory care, and we'll see how many people, even his kids, will bother to visit him.
If that is true, then we had better take a long look in the mirror at how much we have become like that which we abhor.
if the entire current system doesn't change and just goes back to status quo, I'm afraid there will be more trumps vomited up in future
I personally feel like we, and the whole world, are witnessing his "punishment" in real time. He has chosen a life centralized around greed, pursuit of power over others, misogyny, racism, bigotry etc... He is weakness personified. He is every bad choice any of us have every made, personified. We are watching the devolution of a person who chooses all of that destructiveness. If he were sitting in a prison cell, we wouldn't be able to see it.
You do have a point there.
Please, what is this "enormous amount of power" the Democrats have which they are declining to use? And don't say "impeachment" unless you explain how they get to 67 votes to convict in THIS Senate.
Yes, thank you. People keep blaming the Democrats, but THEY HAVE NO POWER at the moment. It's ridiculous.
I could not agree more. Saying stuff like that is kneecapping ourselves. I see great Democrats standing up and speaking out every day. When we retake the House (and hopefully the Senate) these heroes WILL fight for us. But we make that less likely when we tell people how useless Democrats are for not doing things they currently have no power to do.
The entire world, except Hungary, who probably benefitted from him calling in, and sending JD Vance to getting rid of Orbán. Let us be so lucky too.
and it seems other than the 8 million at no kings, nobody gives a shit and keep on living lives with eyes wide shut
Because they voted for the bigot king and moved on with their lives. I keep saying this because I have MAGA fam and friends. They Do. Not. Watch. his derranged Oval Bordello clown shows. They Do. Not. See. the fucktastically idiotic congressional inquiries. They Do. Not. Watch. his official primetime pre-empting grievance monologues.
The rallies are over. They have no bandwidth to stay tuned. He's hating on non-white people and that's enough. Everything else is just blah blah blah.
I too have friends/relatives that live with eyes wide shut
Harsh.
Not harsh enough for this asshole. But at least we don't need to worry for his loved ones because he hasn't any.
⬆️🎯🎯
However, I would like to see all this corruptly attained wealth of the Trump family to be removed.
No, the Democrats do NOT "have an enormous amount of power" and the people who say this are grabbing their coattails and trying to pull them back into even less power. We cannot retake ANY power if we become a circular firing squad. I get the frustration, but our own side shouldn't be the target (especially when we degrade our most effective people and lavish praise on bright shiny objects on our side. I won't name names but it happens constantly.)
It had to be locked out of a cabinet meeting because it wouldn’t stop ranting about a U.S. plane being shot down in Iran. Apparently it went on for hours and would not shut the fuck up. It is losing control of its impulses (what little control it had). One of these episodes is going to be in full view of the world. Frankly, I’m looking forward to that moment. Speaking of losing bowel control, its Oval Office thing with Joe Rogan last week was cut short with security suddenly rushing everyone out while it just sat there like an idiot. Apparently, it shit itself. Again. It hasn’t had bowel control for years, according to Noel Casler who produced its stupid game show. It’s from decades of cocaine and stimulant abuse. orange anus face is a very unwell thing.
Dave, based on family history, I can expect to see him spontaneously remove all clothing and walk in public areas fully nude; forget how to use cutlery and make every food a finger food; on the rare occasion of using the bathroom smear feces on the wall and about the toilet; start to steal from others and hoard objects in odd places. (he's probably doing that last onealready....)
You exemplify what I HATE about this administration: the cruelty of MAGA to anyone they consider "other" makes me so angry! I am angry that they make me really, really have intolerance towards Republicans, and I DO NOT want to allow them to strip my humanity from me!! Referring to Trump as "it" is certainly your right--and I bet many people agree with you!--but again, as much as I dislike him and hate what he is doing to the world, I will fight the urge to become what they are. II would not be surprised if many in his orbit think of him as an "It" and if you deal by calling him "it" and it helps you, so be it. As for me, I honestly look for the Big, Beautiful Obituary first each morning.
I hate also how he has degraded the position AND the office of the POTUS (I think the gold geegaws are a sign.)
I would not call anyone an "it" but I have stopped capitalizing trump for years now. Others deserve that as well, but I decided he is the worst of the worst and does not deserve the respect that capitalizing a name implies to me.
I've had that thought that since he likes to constantly refer to Obama by using his full name, emphasis on the middle one, perhaps people should start using the REAL surname: Drumpf
I won’t use its name. It has earned my hatred for what it’s done to my country, to my fellow citizens, to people I would otherwise like and respect. The “it” thing is new for me. I previously only referred to it by monikers like “orange anus mouth” or “butthole mouth.” It deserves no respect of any kind. “Hate” has become a very loaded word. Hating others for the color of their skin or their heritage or any number of other traits they have no control over is not the same as hating an individual for specific harmful acts they have committed. Raping a child (or an adult) reduces a person to subhuman status, in my opinion.
If I have to mention him, I use his real name, Drumpf. Will never call that arsehole 'President'; never!
"and hoard objects in odd places. (he's probably doing that last onealready....)"
It's how he got the FIFA trophy, the Nobel Peace Prize and other assorted keepsakes.
Plastering his ugly name on every federal building is a form of hoarding, like a senile dog marking every piece of furniture in. the house. Put him down.
⬆️🎯
Hence hamburgers, KFC, etc?
Sue, I have thought that.
And each and every one of those self-righteous sickophants(sic) deserves the foul stench of bowel that will, hopefully, permeate their memories until they join this foul man in one of Dante's Eight Circles of Hell. And yet we all know that he could drop a deuce on the Resolute Desk and not lose a single vote.
I get it. I have a mom with dementia and I keep saying Trump probably is not cognitively capable of reading the laws let alone the constitution.
It is why we need to article 25 him, not just keep hiding the laptop and his phone, and the red button.
Agreed about the 25th.
I'm sorry for you and your mom, Linda. My late sister in law suffered from THREE different cancers over nearly 3 decades and fought them all, but each one reduced her further and further to the point it was will only that simple will to live that kept her going. Her daughter told me that between the suffering from cancer, or the decline of dementia, the dementia was harder to watch.
The bar for the 25th is too high. It won't happen. But impeachment and removal certainly can. Another constitutional crisis for us! Yay!
Maybe at some point we'll realize that the foundational document isn't gospel so much as a series of compromises that allowed slave-owners to keep their property while adhering to the freedom rhetoric.
never happen with his sycophants in congress
"We" don't get to do anything with the 25th Amendment. It has to be invoked by Vance and a majority of the Cabinet, and that isn't going to be happening.
I read a serious article in the Hill cataloging all the ways Trump is showing signs of age related dementia.
Beautifully said.
My dear dad battled dementia for 7 years. He was not satanic like Orange Hitler. *FUCK DONALD TRUMP* - Satan in John of Patmos’ vision in the Book of Revelation.
My m.i.l. was pretty awful, but my brother was a sweet. lost soul.
Medical aphorism: dementia makes personality disorders worse.
As someone who lost both parents to different forms of dementia, I have not heard of this, but would have loved to have been able to place my parents in a facility like this.
He was placed in assisted living when he was in moderate stages. He received P/T and speech therapy. (I sat outside and listened. It was painful. They handed him a fork and asked the name, and he couldn't bring it up. I can still hear the anguish in his voice telling them "I KNOW what it's used for, I just can't remember what it's called!"
Then COVID hit, and the care stopped, and he couldn't understand what was going on. I really can't write anymore about that. Year from hell for the entire world, and Trump the jerk helped make it worse. So, again, no love lost between me and Trump.
I’m so sorry.
My mom passed during COVID but was thankfully in a place that took great care of her. And we were allowed to see her just before she passed.
That is a true blessing for you and your mom.
I'm so sorry.
I have a deep and abiding hatred for Trump that started with COVID. I disliked him before, but the COVID lies and stuff he pulled....
NEVER should have been able to run in 2024.
They need a way station for the 2020 election for Mental Mendicant 45 & 47
When you look at the rankings of American presidents Trump is not only the worst, he's also the second-worst.
WOW, excellent point, J Hardy!
"People are saying" James Buchanan was worse.
ADP (auditory processing disorder) is something I am unfamiliar with and I was unaware that it was suggested that Trump had it. I may have seen it in the past but glibly read past it because I didn’t know what it meant. Thanks J Hardy for bringing that up.
Trump has so many serious mental disorders that it’s hard to keep track of them. He moves from one disorder to the next with such speed that it’s hard to keep from getting vertigo; and, sometimes, he combines two or more of them at once making one’s head spin uncontrollably. And while you’re trying to digest what just happened he races off to the next clusterfuck of a spectacle.
It’s like his lies — he fires them off in such rapid succession that by the time you fact check the first one he had spit out four more.
He’s like “Pigpen” only the cloud that follows him is cloud of confusion and disinformation spiced with false certainty and (I am told) with an aroma of ass music.
He should be put in a cage in a traveling circus with a sign saying “Modern World Biological Oddity”
That would be more accurate than “President of the United States”.
As an alternative, I suppose, his title could be “Donald j Trump, placeholder”
Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) is a mental health condition marked by a long‑term pattern of violating the rights of others, ignoring social norms and laws, and showing little or no remorse for harmful behavior.
Thanks for the definition. I didn’t know what it was … 👍
Really well explained. Thank you.
What is APD?
Auditory processing disorder
WTF? That post makes zero sense, except for the racism. 🙄
That’s sadly the Only reason Kay. He’s a Racist,Jealous, Hateful Gobshite.
That photo was like looking at your naked grandma. Once you see it you can never get it out of your head. - James Carville.
Funny how the clouds are all in exactly the same positions in both pictures. Comments pointed out that the ducks and the joggers are also in the positions. What the hell was he even trying to accomplish with these two pictures? I don't get the point.
On his updated bucket list of destruction is to tear up the reflecting pool and make it suitable for swimming,
it's been painted blue. someone posted a comparison of it while Obama was prez & now on his SM account (most of those posts aren't by him)
Let's see how it looks in August
kind of low on the to-do list after restoring democracy, etc. but we need to figure out how to prevent a future prez from desecrating federal property like the felon is. that's OUR property, not the president's.
I was expecting him to include turtle inlays on the bottom to make it look like a Mar A Lardo pool. He needs to be in his comfort zone.
Your term "sundowning" is why Trump should be kept off of social media all night long. There can be no end to this war as long as he is allowed to post, because he will just piss off Iran again.
Meanwhile, how is it an insult to Obama to have vegetables on his plate while Trump has what looks like mush.
I do remember Smoking Jesus and was a devout follower on MySpace.
OMFG! Jesus sparking a fat one is in the bible? Who knew? So that's what all the people going to "bible study" are up to? Hah.
If only. The world would be a chiller place
Right? ✌🏽
It's right there in the Book of Spleefs
🤣
😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
They'll be OK as long as they avoid the "youth ministers."
I loved this! I remember intently staring at the back of our hands (biology majors) and believing we could see the blood cells traveling through the veins, 😂🤣😂! Very dangerous behavior!
Watch the inevitable howls of indignation from MAGA about that, while orange pedophile portraying himself AS Jesus was okay with many of 'em.
Hmmmm......bet Jesus doesn't even need to use a lighter or a match. Cool.
That really made me laugh and in eeded that!
😆
Can’t the Iranians or some clever kid in their basement hack Truth Social and lock him out of it? The world would instantly be a finer and nobler place again
The Iranians, Russkis, Chinese, Macedonians, etc. who are accomplished hackers are too smart to limit him. They know he is the best tool to divide and weaken America. And is he ever a tool
Yeah, and do it in such a way that he would not notice. He would see posts, but in reality they are not public and on the real site. I'm sure there is a way do that.
BUT then how would we know how messed up he really is?
Oh, it'll still be readily apparent....
Honestly, I'd rather see them hack his graduate school and release his transcipt.
he didn't go to grad school.
Better yet, just take the whole platform down and lock everyone out, even admins.
He only ‘went to’ undergrad at Wharton School for Business. A professor said he was the worst student he’d ever had.
I think “dumbest student,” was his assessment. I don’t doubt either dumbest nor worst.
A serious question: there are plenty of pictures of Trump with Epstein surrounded by others - including several of Trump grabbing the women. Why have those individuals not been identified by the press and interviewed about the circumstances of their contact with him?
I've been asking that for years. Who is that guy with the mustache in the Trump/Epstein whispering/laughing video??
Uncle Pervy
https://youtu.be/xhESJCDS0V0?si=6FjGlZX0o7th4sfr
And how about a certified lip-reader? "Hey, Jeff, check-out the rack on that broad!"
Oh they have been. Women have given testimony under oath. He has been accused of horrible things, but the proof is in the unredacted Epstein files, which, honestly, have probably been burned by now.
I would hope they would come forward - again - to tell what they know (assuming that they don’t need to worry about being targeted).
not all of them. especially given how Bondi's DoJ & Patel's FBI let everyone access to them when they were scrubbing the felon's name
What a shame. Its like they're molested all over again.
I wonder if anyone has suggested to Donny that if slept at night instead of tweeting from his golden toilet, he might be able to keep his eyes open during daytime meetings.
I don't know if he actually writes this stuff or he has someone else do it while he sleeps. He is certainly sleeping during the day. If Jeebus is sparking a fat one I suppose he is too mellow to help us get rid of this fool.
Im thinking he either has some stupid intern typing what Trump wants or its voice activated. Is that possible?
Anus-mouth-activated
🤮 Bad visual.
True, it's a nasty mouth.
Every Alzheimer's patient in our family eventually switched hours--up all night, drowsy or sleeping all day long.
And yes, I know he’s not really tweeting. He’s truthing. Or whatever the fuck you call it on his shitty app.
I still say Tweeting. They're not getting me to use "truth" as a verb. Not today, Satan.
I doubt that sleep is possible. I read that he drinks 12-14 Diet Cokes in a day... that is a whopping big load of caffeine. Add to that the powdered Adderall tablets he is accused of snorting...
So much stupid shit this week…it never ends does it??? End soon please…my bottle of champagne stares me in the face every time I open the refrigerator…OPEN ME! lol
I made the huge mistake of buying a bottle of champagne for celebrating the expected eviseration of the Don-Old during the debate between him and Biden. I drank it down during the debate instead, and then contemplated suicide.
Never again will I buy champagne in advance of any event that includes trump.
I feel that way about bananas. Even more so with a head of lettuce.
HAHA!
😆
I bought a bottle of champagne in 2016 to celebrate our first woman president. Instead, I had a panic attack, called my stepmother crying and drank the whole bottle with tears streaming down my eyes. I haven’t touched champagne since.
Unless it's when he croaks
Paula, he’s not worth it .
Put a aubergine in your fridge !
I've heard that there's a pair of breweries in Wisconsin that are going to be pouring free beer on that glad day. While you're waiting, you can get a t-shirt from them that says "I Wish Today Was Free Beer Day" in red, white and blue letters.
I bet Minoqua Brewing is one of them. The owner has been trolling tRump since 2015
Just drink it now. You'll feel better.
Irish wake for a Nazi death
My husband goes to a coffee shop religiously every day at 7am and when we still had a sliver of hope that the pilonidal cyst (thank you Seth for coming up with this) would serve jail time, he promised to bring grappa in for everyone there should this ever happen. Bottle of grappa still sits unopened, sigh.
Oh man, I just made the mistake of googling "pilonidal cyst". It's a great and apt moniker but....gross!
During breakfast this very morning- hubby and I talked about what we’ll do to celebrate his leaving the golden office …. Includes a drink or two‼️
Mine's been in there so long it's probably flat.
‘and Jesus did mightily spark up a fat one…’
😂😂😂😂
Thats all I needed. Thank you and wake me up when this is over.

Doc, out of all those many substacks you subscribe to, why not Heather Cox Richardson's "Letter from an American"??
I'd love to see your doses of humor in there. Tons of good people, and the occasional resident troll.
I do subscribe but usually watch her on YouTube. She has so much deep information
I watch her YouTubes as well, as well as "Belle of the Ranch" and sometimes, Michael Cohen.
Just sayin' that the comments discussions on HCR's forum get very deep, and a little humor would be a nice palate chaser. And your comments actually DO make me LOL!
I have changed my opinion of Cohen. I bought his book, Disloyal, and he seemed genuinely contrite about all the shit he did for drumpf, but now I wonder if he wasn't faking it for money. And surely he must know things about the Epstein trafficking ring. Subpoena his ass
I agree. He's actually a good writer and I used to read his stuff once in a while, but I can't get past his complicity in so much of Trump's hideous behavior. You know he knows where the bodies are buried and he probably dug the holes. Subpoena his ass, indeed.
You know what, Doc--that thought seems to be behind his fight with the MidasTouch network.
This is my honest opinion--I don't think he knew about Epstein, and this is why I think it: Cohen was an underling tool for Trump. Cohen wasn't rich (he had to take a loan, I believe, to pay off Stormy) and had no particular reason for Trump to include him in the elites. Just a mudsill to him. I have this feeling that Trump thought he was better than Cohen, so he wasn't worthy. Cohen appears to truly despise Trump and I think if he had goods on him, he'd be dumping.
I don't blame him for writing the book, as I don't know how he would have made a living for himself. Who would hire him? The stink of Trump on him can't be washed off, and MAGA sure wouldn't hire him. He does have his podcasts which I enjoy because I think he has a better take on him than most of the pundits out there, having observed him for about 15 years.
LOL
😂😂😂😂
You ‘ll be sleeping for a long long time…
I try to have hope.
Cheech & Chong “Up in Smoke” reference made me think of *UNCLE PERVY* with Orange Hitler & Ep-STAIN
Agree wholeheartedly, Susan!
That was truly vintage Jeff. Wonderful.
Who else thinks that he will come up with a last minute excuse to NOT attend the White House Correspondents Dinner? WTF. He's supposed to be "headlining" his meme coin Gala this evening at Mar-a-Lardo. Is he going to phone it in? I'm confused.
Oh and Kkkarolyin is off to give birth, hopefully we will never see her darken the doorway of the Press Room again.

The movie Rosemary's Baby comes to mind.
OMG, I immediately pictured Damien when I read that she was giving birth! 😂
1
Then I saw a beast come out of the sea with ten horns and seven heads; on its horns were ten diadems, and on its heads blasphemous name[s].a
2
The beast I saw was like a leopard, but it had feet like a bear’s, and its mouth was like the mouth of a lion.* b To it the dragon gave its own power and throne, along with great authority.
3
I saw that one of its heads seemed to have been mortally wounded, but this mortal wound was healed.* Fascinated, the whole world followed after the beast.
4
They worshiped the dragon because it gave its authority to the beast; they also worshiped the beast* and said, “Who can compare with the beast or who can fight against it?”
5
* The beast was given a mouth uttering proud boasts and blasphemies,c and it was given authority to act for forty-two months.*
6
It opened its mouth to utter blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name and his dwelling and those who dwell in heaven.
7
It was also allowed to wage war against the holy ones and conquer them, and it was granted authority over every tribe, people, tongue, and nation.d
8
All the inhabitants of the earth will worship it, all whose names were not written from the foundation of the world in the book of life, which belongs to the Lamb who was slain.e
9
Whoever has ears ought to hear these words.f
10
Anyone destined for captivity goes into captivity.
Anyone destined to be slain by the sword shall be slain by the sword.g
Such is the faithful endurance of the holy ones.
VD Jance’s 2nd child on the way:
11
Then I saw another beast come up out of the earth; it had two horns like a lamb’s but spoke like a dragon.
12
It wielded all the authority of the first beast in its sight and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound had been healed.
13
It performed great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in the sight of everyone.h
14
It deceived the inhabitants of the earth with the signs it was allowed to perform in the sight of the first beast, telling them to make an image for the beast who had been wounded by the sword and revived.
15
It was then permitted to breathe life into the beast’s image, so that the beast’s image could speak and [could] have anyone who did not worship it put to death.i
16
It forced all the people, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to be given a stamped image on their right hands or their foreheads,j
17
so that no one could buy or sell except one who had the stamped image of the beast’s name or the number that stood for its name.
18
* k Wisdom is needed here; one who understands can calculate the number of the beast, for it is a number that stands for a person. His number is six hundred and sixty-six.
Thanks for the pot reference. Reminds me of a favorite saying of mine. Four guys getting drunk will start a fight. Four guys getting high will start a band.
Diana, good one!!

Awesome, Jeff. Well-summed.
Speaking of shitting, Trump’s whole persona is late-stage bodily-failure authoritarian chic. A sweaty, rambling, barely coherent old man rage-typing deranged TruthSocial posts that are treated by the mainstream press as something between a Supreme Court ruling and Papal Bull.
This morning we learned of Kash's TWO public urination arrests "when he was younger." Trump would see this as JV-level public tinkling when he clearly expects the full MAGA blowout of pants-shitting in public like a real man of history, preferably into a monogrammed adult diaper with an eagle on it (available at the MAGA store for only 39.95)
If you’re on Team Retribution and your big flex is public urination, that’s not exactly the stuff of strongman myth. You’re basically the Proud Boys’ junior-varsity hydration issue.
It fits. Trump’s whole aesthetic has always been about escalation: from “I barely know the guy” to “I only hired the best people” to “that never happened” in three sentences, so you know somewhere in his withered brain he’s thinking, “Why are my guys just peeing in public when they could be soiling themselves for the cause?”
His lieutenants aspire to full trouser catastrophe. Shitting is where True Policy is born!
Maybe a return to MAGA diaper era: of rallies where people showed up in giant diapers and “Baby Trump” cosplay to own the libs and somehow also own their own dignity.
In that context, Kash’s little puddle feels off-brand; if you’re not willing to go full Depends Patriot, are you even committed to the movement.
Wait a few days for Hannity segment earnestly explaining how Real Men don’t take bathroom breaks because that’s what communists do.
hahaha!!
Wait, the old fatburg has to go to the correspondents' dinner, doesn't he? What's he doing in Florida? Is he going to show up or what?
he didn't go to Motel-a-Lago yesterday, he was at some Republican retreat.
because I'm a Responsible Journalist And Everything™, once of the first things I do every morning is check Donny's official schedule.
https://rollcall.com/factbase/trump/calendar/
I appreciate your being on top of this. I couldnt do it.
His official schedule looks like he spends 80% of his time commuting.
probably sleeping the whole time while commuting given that he's up all night spewing nonsensical, delusional messages on UNtruth Soc(iopathic)ial.
But he has his Meme Coin Gala at Mar-a-lardo tonight, no? He's the "headliner' ffs
Can you believe that?!? He is selling gold coins with his face on it and asking for money. Isn't there some law against president's profiting from a scam while in office?
There's the Emoluments clause with the Constitution, which he treats like TP anyhow
He just doesnt think laws apply and everybody just shrugs because owns the court.
You mean they didn’t just relocate it to his venue in FL? 😒
Jeff, I plan to reduce my subscription by 600% over this! 😁
🤣
This is how broken I am: I can't laugh at the idiot maga-verse anymore, the best I can do is cringe. This past week has been PTSD inducing. I no longer open my emails with any hope of 'good news'. It's not Jeff's fault! His posts are still the highpoint of my mornings. It's just that I wake up early these days, so by the time Jeff's posts drop I've already seen the horrors of the day and I'm too depressed to laugh at anything.
I go on news fasts if it gets too overwhelming (and it gets too overwhelming a lot). Spend that time outdoors instead. You won't miss anything earth shattering in the news and you'll get a dose of vitamin D. Also, hugging dogs really helps my mental health. And gazing at beautiful art. Or shitty art. Just something that isn't around the clock doom and gloom. ❤️
Well, we are your Peeps and are happy to talk you down if needed.

Nice one, Jeff!
