I don’t know about you guys, but I am seriously bummed the Monday press conference is cancelled. I had the popcorn and bourbon ready to go (yes, 11 am is a bit early for bourbon, but with a coked up squirrel, needs must. Thanks for that perfect description, JT). Damn. Who knew that the orange menace would listen to a mere attorney??

I'm with you, I was really looking forward to watching a five-alarm technicolor disaster

It would definitely be amusing to watch Trump eat shit and howl at the moon.

There won't be any shortage of that in the coming months. No worries!

He still might do it in the interview with Tucker Carlson. Save the popcorn and the bourbon.

Where can this fiasco be seen? For entertainment value, it will certainly be preferable to a bunch of hyenas trading market tested slogans on a debate stage.

I'm not sure. Probably on the Musk shithole.

I wanted so badly to record that disaster. That plane crash. I was wondering if he was going to use the same pile of papers, files, he had piled on that table from his last ‘big reveal’ presser that was nothing more than a hoax, to say the least. With Mike Pence standing ti his side like a Bobble-head Doll. His head constantly bobbling up and down as he’s loving everything his wife is telling him. What an idiot he was!

I was looking forward to having something really stupid to write about

Expand full comment

And I was so looking forward to reading it! Damn! Don’t worry, Jeff. The new week is young. Frumpy’s bound to make the “Stupid” list a tune or two this week. He’s going to be with Tucker Carlson Wednesday night, and SUPPOSEDLY is turning himself in to Fulton County Jail Thursday. We shall see!

He might go right from Tucker to a flight to the UAE.

It was reported this afternoon that he’s already recorded the sit-down interview with Tucker Carlson, but he’s said he’s not going to attend the Republican Debate which is MC’d by FOX News hosts.

Now, I’m not an intelligent old man, by any means, but isn’t FOX News Network his favorite ‘go-to’ “let me run my mouth and spew a bunch of lies” network?

Plus, do you actually believe he’s going to pass up the opportunity to slice DeStupid to bits on National network, prime time?

He has until close of business Monday to let the RNC know if he will be there or not.

I d know if his ass isn’t in that Fulton County Jail by noon Friday, he’s most likely going to have a new mailing address by sundown Friday night.

I think he'll try to run.

Under today's circumstances and the prospect of such a press conference, 11am is a perfectly good time for bourbon. Whatever helps, but make it a good one.

"it’s hard to fathom why the man who makes cars that randomly crash and burst into flames is so hell-bent on making a social app that randomly crashes and bursts into flames, but hey, it’s his 44 billion dollars to piss on as he sees fit."

A bunch of that $44 billion came from the Saudis, so my chips are on "MBS paid Musk to take a bone saw to the app."

Is anybody concerned about the egomaniacal twitter destroyer owning thousands of satellites? I can’t get it off my mind that Musk has his huge Starlink system TOY. He’s another narcissistic megalomaniac that has little interest or concern for others even if his ‘products’ appear to be sustainable. I hate his stupid car, basically a hostage system, if you buy it then you’re stuck with his upgrades and control for the rest of your ownership...just like what has happened to twitter.

Starlink doesn't work so far for most of the users in the US. I know many who pulled the entire shitnetwork together on their remote properties and it just never worked, and they have never paid after the first 2 months.

NASA needs to take back the space program, including Starlink.

Too much power for one man. Here, in the US I think he doesn't have much of the market but Ukraine is covered and has relied upon it for military communications and he was Fing around with that as reported recently. THAT angers me. Twitter was an option that I enjoyed but can live without. This billionaire crybaby has way too much control and influence. For all those shmucks in the cult of Trump just a clue of what a kleptocracy is like Russian style if we had more Trump & Friends running the country.

Bad enough as is but it could get so much worse.

What he hell! This bastard doesn’t pay taxes anyway. He bought Twitter for $44 BILLION. It’s worth less than what, $15 BILLION now? He’s taking a huge tax write off every year until he recoups his money he spent in it. This idiot isn’t stupid. He’s a moron that has way to much time to think on his hands, and WAY to much money to throw around!

Hey ELON, throw some if your money my way. I can damn well use it to survive, but much needed medication and medical equipment I desperately need!

Hi Jeff, I see today one of your low lights is a dining partner of the Orange Cheeto, Nick the Nazi.....the star of “My Favorite Nazi” had more comments about Jews the other day you forgot to include.... “Jews should just leave our country because we are a Christian country” Warm and fuzzy to say the least. If you wish to distill all these conspiracy theories they seem to evolve or devolve into Jew hatred. All of us knew Q would devolve into Jew hatred among their other hatred’s. So I will give Nick the Nazi one chicken fried fuck cause I don’t have too many left in my chicken fried fuck bag... Happy Indictment Week to all fellow travelers.

Seeing it all in one place like this kinda takes your breath away.

I thought I’d come back with some positive tidbits, you know, balance it a bit - but it’s time for my medication so I’ll have to get back to it later. Meanwhile, point your finger and laugh at them. Keep any guns firmly under lock and key.

Get your friends, neighbors and colleagues registered to vote and drag them to the polls every time they open. Write coherent, well edited letters to your local newspaper about local things. Keep sane. Only punch someone if you absolutely have to do it.

Letters are a good idea. Lots of letters to everyone. They do make a difference. They did in Texas when they wanted to dig under the rivers to install their Canada to nowhere pipeline.

Why does Trump have so many college dropout Incels working for him? And how can his top racist Incel, Nick Fuentes be White Supremacist when he’s Hispanic? Is Charlie Kirk still living in his parents basement? So many questions. Trump has “Only the best people.” 😳

Expand full comment

I’m trying to figure out where this guy gets off talking about ‘immigrants’. He’s friggjng Hispanic. His heritage isn’t from this country. Somebody needs to sit this young, stupid, idiot down and explain to him that everyone in this great nation is immigrants. Including him, and his damn “king”. I thought that was so special. Referring to Frumpy the 🍊 headed 🤡 as “the king”!

I suspect Elon's main reason for removing "block" was finding out he was by far the most blocked person on X-lax.

I wouldn’t be surprised. I had him blocked even before he bought Twitter.

Thanks a lot, Jeff, now I have to come face to face with myself over a question I can’t answer. “If you saw Nick Fuentes walking toward you on the street, should you, unprovoked at that moment, smash him in the face with your fist, just because, or should you breathe deeply, recover your pacifist karma, and simply keep striding onward, secure in the knowledge that the universe itself will certainly shit on his miserable soul?”

It’s 9:22 here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, too early for cannabis (who makes these rules anyhow?). But I have my adorable Baby Yoda bong at the ready, waiting for Fuckface to say something stupid. (Clearly, there’s cannabis in my future.) On a high note (see what I did there?), I can’t wait for the debates. Fuckface won’t be there because he’s demented but he’s not stupid; he’s got a gazillion point lead and he won’t (and shouldn’t) debate. But his challengers will talk about him, things they wouldn’t dare say to his face - so I suggest a drinking (or sparking) game: Whenever the other Republicunts mentions Fuckface, have a drink (or a hit). But make sure you have a designated driver because ten minutes after the debate starts, you’ll be too fucked up to drive.

I’m torn. I don’t want to see Fuckface’s orange meathead and his hand gestures should be illegal, but I don’t wanna miss indictment news. Last time I chatted with Victoria Gotti, we had a mind blowing conversation about her daddy, but I’m pretty sure John G. never faced 91 felony charges. Sure, he killed people, but Fuckface owns hundreds of thousands of Covid deaths so who’s the bigger killer?

Here’s my outrage du jour: Predictive texts. I use profanity. A whole lot. So why doesn’t predictive text predict FUCK? Or cunt or asshole? And who decides what’s profane anyway? Some little church lady who says sugar-honey-ice-tea?

It’s not even 10:00 yet and I’m already pissed off. Typical Monday.

I've never bothered to look up who Nick Fuentes actually is. To be honest, I don't care. I know that shouty, racist people follow him on social media somewhere. I didn't bother to play his shouty-asshole clip. I know that Trump had dinner with him. I am assuming that Joe Biden has not and is not planning on having dinner with him. All I need to know.

You aren’t missing much, Donald. He’s just another narcissistic sociopathic entertainer like his “king” who’s looking for points to score by insulting hard working citizens, Americans, who actually give a damn about our Democracy and Constitution.

I believe that the message needs amplification in the mainstream. ”These people are only trying to entertain you into voting for them.” Because that is the truth - they offer entertainment as opposed to leadership and governance. And a lot of people blithely, simply do not understand that.

I never heard of that Nick guy before but I’ve had a blessed life, just lucky like that. He looks young but he’s going to have a very hard and very short future with a mouth like that and such low intelligence. As for the other emotional Trump worshippers they’re in for even more bitter disappointment and tears. And they call us the snow flakes. I could hear the emotion in that woman’s voice on how “trump cares for us -he won’t back down blah blah blah” Sure ok, all the MaGATs will be reduced to a blubbering mob of red-faced infants. Oh that reminds me- my mace was delivered from Amazon yesterday. I hope all their blustering comes to nothing but I’m also bracing myself for any first strikes that may come my way.
