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

I ain't got one. imagine, a slow news Saturday in the middle of August — just like the good old days!

okay, folks, what news item have I missed?

Tess's avatar

Well…Aaron Parnas is reporting that trump has opened his own “federally chartered bank”…more money for his poor grown children to screw the American people!

DeBurgh's avatar

This will be interesting. Unlike the directors of the Kennedy Center, this board will be responsible for the owners' misdeeds, personally. The FBI and the Federal Reserve might look away from criminal money laundering by the Family, but the FDIC won't.

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

Aaron and others Tess, isn’t corruption, capitalism and accelerationism grand? I keep a watchful eye for Charon to appear in Trumps case, any time now!

Ooh, I’ve got one. Donnie is demanding a redesign of aircraft carriers already under construction to meet his “aesthetic preferences,” which would cost billions more in taxpayer dollars.

WaPo gift linky:

Thanks to the unbelievably stupid and self-aggrandizing decision making by drumpf and Pissdrunk Pete, we are wasting billions of dollars on "trump class" battleships and now redecorating our aircraft carriers, while Iran and the rest of the world improves their drone capabilities that cost a few thou apiece. A war of attrition that even the world's largest economy will lose, badly. We already have lost.

Richard Dorset's avatar

I just read that the military is starting a crash program to design and manufacture drones. Not so coincidentally, Trump's 2 malignant male spawn own a big stake in a new drone company. Just once, I would like to see a consequential decision made by this diaper loading mother fucker that doesn't directly benefit the Trump Crime Family

HI2thDoc's avatar

That's the only mechanism that may somewhat redirect the grandiose illusory ideas-the chance to make money

Martha Howell's avatar

We have a supposed ally ("supposed" because we're not holding up our end of the ally-ship) that has become, by necessity, the world leader in drone warfare. What could we have been learning from them all these years? Instead, we focus on his outfit and our called with Putin. We heartily deserve our comeuppance, but our kids don't.

Donny wants to decorate the WH with real gold now. He HAS said that he wants to inspect Fort Knox, to see if the gold is all there because, "They steal a lot."

So Whisky Pete said he hasn’t washed his hands in 10 years (Aryan’s have great genes) and RFucK Jr boasts about having snorted cocaine off toilet seats. I’d say kibosh on the testosterone you freak shows.

What is it with MAGA that they're stuck in 90's movie genre. Although they were some very good movies made in the 90's. I know I watched most of them in the theater, no streaming or on DVD.

What is greatly aggravating to me is that the mainstream press is not devoting sufficient time to airing-out Trump’s frauds on America, his constant lying, his cover-ups, his grifts, his cons, his racism, and his lack of concern for the well-being of the majority of Americans.

We are witnessing - in real time - every single day - the greatest threat to democracy since the founding of our nation, the most criminal and corrupt administration the U.S. has ever had - and we should be screaming out about his actions all day, every single day. Relentlessly.

One could easily list 20 matters that we should be screaming out about every single day.

I do realize that Trump, himself, is not on the ballot in the mid-terms, but votes cast in the mid-terms will determine whether Americans will let him have his way for 2 1/4 more years or whether we will make it very difficult, if not block him, from having his way.

Every Substack author, every TV newsperson, every reporter working for a newspaper, every social media blogger, every podcaster should be putting those 20 matters before the American people EVERY SINGLE DAY,

ALL THROUGHOUT EACH DAY.

REPEAT,

REPEAT,

REPEAT.

ORGANIZED.

ANGRY.

LOUD.

rlritt's avatar

90 % of all media is now owned by a few oligharchs for the purpose of making this kleptocracy ever more profitable to them. They, in turn, sanitize the news and sane wash Trump.

barb's avatar

Absolutely! The media is complicit in all of it!! It makes me want to tear my hair out.

DeBurgh's avatar

The editors should mark up every story to delete "Republican Party" and replace with "Trump Party". The Republican Party is gone. Calling a Trumper "a Republican" implies that their duty is to their constituents. That is not accurate. The Trump Party members work for the Trump Family now.

rlritt's avatar

His supporters would love it. They think Trump is the greatest thing and would prefer ther "Trump" Party." They love being in a dictatorship. Now if he only had ICE arrest anyone who says anything bad about him and/or Black people they would be overjoyed. They probably would approve of him mass murdering them. These are not good people.

Thanks for always including Claudia at the end! It helps! :). Fuckadoodle-doos…great term! This needs to end soon or I’m gonna go crazier than I am!! C’mon DEMS!!!

One thing at least is trump never kicked butt on the vote.

He barely won.

HI2thDoc's avatar

Lone Smuk posted that himself? I woulda thought some wag was trolling him. Does he know that Austin Powers was a buffoonish parody of the 60s spy genre?

Lynn Horsky's avatar

I thought it was an Onion spoof

HI2thDoc's avatar

He's too zonked out and egotistical to know that he is a parody of a normal person

The Honorable Emmet G. Sullivan

U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia

E. Barrett Prettyman U.S. Courthouse

333 Constitution Avenue, N.W.,

Washington, D.C. 20001

Dear Judge Sullivan,

One of the greatest aggravations there is for Americans is the pace at which justice moves forward.

Slower than a pack of snails.

By now, it should be BLATANTLY OBVIOUS TO YOU that the DOJ, fueled by Trump’s direction to do so, is doing everything it can possibly do to prevent the administration of justice from moving forward – is doing everything it can possibly do to not fully comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, a law overwhelmingly passed by both houses of Congress, an Act signed into by Trump himself. (The fact that Trump was forced into signing the Act into law isn’t important.)

Judge, the DOJ is playing you like a fool.

There are, reportedly, FBI interviews in the Epstein Files of a 13 year old female child, who, in those interviews alleges that Trump forced her to give him a blow job. Trump has denied those allegations. By now, the vast majority of Americans know that Trump is a blatant serial liar. That said, I encourage you to order the release of the 13 year old female child’s allegations against Trump. A release that is completely unredacted expect for the name of the 13 year old child. The Epstein Files Transparency Act requires the release of the interview, unredacted. Let the American People judge for themselves whether the 13 year old child was lying about Trump or whether it is Trump who is the liar.

Thank you for taking the time to read my letter.

Respectfully yours

Susan Niemann's avatar

If we can't take him down for these heinous crimes, maybe Europe can? I mean, someone MUST HAVE these files. Nothing can be a secret for long, can it? And the people in these files... Trump yes, but even beyond him... when it does finally come out, I think we're going to see a lot of famous names.

HI2thDoc's avatar

I'm hoping the Iranians do it

rlritt's avatar

There are probably Iranians in the files as well. And Iranians care about young girls even LESS than American men. They cover and protect young women because they dont want to embarrass their fathers not because they care about their health and welfare. There is no enlightenment here. Poor, young women are chattel. The civilized world just hides their disdain for them better.

Cathy Wray's avatar

I'm hoping for more that that.

If I were a trillionare, or hell a billionaire, I'd be high all the time too.

barb's avatar

If i were a billionaire i'd be looking for ways to use my $$ to try to make a positive difference in the world, hopefully following in MacKenzie Bezos's footsteps.

rlritt's avatar

I probably would too because I'd be high. I'd also adopt a lot homeless dogs and cats.

I really admire MacKenzie Scott too. Equal partner in Amazon's creation and a very generous and kind person.

Jeff, it seems Donald has cemented his legacy concerning our military… “losers and suckers” and now cannot accept the fact that our sailors and soldiers are suffering under his watch…he just doesn’t care, makes me so pissed 😡. Next up KKK Leavitt. We understand she quit her job to spend more time changing diapers of her children and grandpa baby daddy. So will she have some kind of job to pay back the $300,000 she owes her failed campaign for Congress a few years ago… I guess grandpa sugar daddy doesn’t want to clear the debt… typical MAGAs, never admit a wrongdoing and never pay back loans… Best to All fellow travelers.

HI2thDoc's avatar

Leavitt abandons her mouthpiece role

And finally gets off our taxpayer dole

She goes back to her life

As a fake Xtian trad wife

But the paid lying has destroyed her soul (if she even had one)

rlritt's avatar

And if doesnt care, his voters dont care or don't even hear about it.

Drunkle Pete is EXTREME, man. He isn't satisfied with popping the candy bowl of Adderall like a normal addict. No, he takes a handful of the little blue pills and CRUSHES THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS under his BOOTS and SNORTS THAT SHIT OFF THE FLOOR!! HOOOAH! After that, he swigs a mighty slug of Kash's special FBI Crimefighter Bonded 100 proof Whiskey and then THAT MOTHERFUCKER GOES ON TV! HOOOAH! We're going to WAR!

NOW LET ME TELL YOU SOME FUCKING LIES! HOOOAH!

Earlier this week, it was announced that Pirro is still trying to placate the orange dipshit with more doomed to fail shenanigans

Plowed Pirro convened another special grand jury

In response to drumpf's Reflecting Pool fury

He's never had any shame

So he'll deflect the blame

By using Pirro's legal knowledge penury

Joanne's avatar

She clearly learned nothing from the reflecting pool fiasco. She's already loudly denigrating the person who defaced the WWII memorial, trying her in the press, and making it personal by talking about her (Pirro's) father and grandfather serving in the military. Incidentally, from the little I've read it sounds like the person they arrested might have mental health issues (not confirmed as far as I know).

2Cats2Furious's avatar

At least there was actual vandalism at the WWII memorial fountain, as the woman who did it - who identified herself as having autism and ADHD, and apparently some mental health issues - filmed herself.

Unlike the Reflecting Pool, where there was NO evidence of vandalism.

Joanne's avatar

I'm not defending the vandalism at all. The two cases are very different, as you indicated. I'm just saying that Pirro keeps demonstrating that she's "performing" her job for Trump and for her own time in the spotlight rather than doing the job responsibly and professionally.

HI2thDoc's avatar

So she approves of fatfuck calling veterans suckers and losers. Huh.

Leu2500's avatar

I didn't listen to the felon's emotional support rally yesterday. Just a quick look to verify "damn, he's still alive." & to notice that (1) he was practically gargling from the beginning, there's so much saliva in his mouth from his dementia-degraded swallowing reflex & (2) that the color around his eyes is still putrid mud/cement. kidneys. (3) I did go back & check the duration. ~30 minutes. Shorter than recently. And the stills you share show that he was in really bad shape during the event. being out of breath due to CHF will do that. His 2 days hiding didn't help him much.

AuntTeeFa's avatar

C’mon little clot that could..

rlritt's avatar

They would just stuff him and prop him up.

Has anyone watched Star Trek, TOS? The episode when KIrk's friend John Gill becomes the furor on an alien planet and the people are NAZIs. Turns out John Gill was in a heavily drugged state and the bad guys kept playing tapes of his greatest fascist hits? Thats what I imagine happens when Trump can longer function.

Just when I think we've scraped the bottom of the septic tank, along comes Elmo, stealing from Mike Myers and looking like an actual clown. There is no amount of money in this world or any other that can glow up an ugly motherfucker like Elmo Mush. Ugly, ugly, ugly inside and out. Anyone who lives through this insane period of time without doing something stabby deserves a fucking medal.
