Good Lord, that fucking hat. A grown ass old man wearing a hat saying "[My name] was right about everything" has got to be peak fucking cringe. I once had a t-shirt with my first name on it but I STOPPED WEARING IT WHEN I WAS TEN for the love of fuck. He is such a fucking child. Like how on Earth are people not embarrassed to align themselves with this toddler-brained idiot.

I believe when he wears those stupid hats at a formal event, it's because his hair is having none of that shit he makes it do.

Underneath that hat and hair lies a brain filled with plastic. Plastic in the brain is coming for us all but that idiot has the most, by far. He was voted back into office by the 77MM Americans with the highest plastic content. And here I thought plastic had no magnetic properties

Can you imagine. You're approaching people wearing your hat, they all start walking away in the opposite direction, muttering. "God, here she comes...she thinks she knows everything. Such a know-it-all."

That is how real life should work but the cult members eat it up. Soon, they'll all have their hats. OMG

Notice how tRump's face looks super-smooth and weirdly tight?

There's a secret hiding under that stupid red cap: An elastic band pulling his entire facial skin up and back, à la a too-tight ponytail.

bruce klassen's avatar

When you feel the hate and anger coming on, bundle it in your hands (in your minds) rejecting it and pushing it back to Donnie...saying here this is yours, this is not mine. Maybe if we can all do that, we will be healthier for it and Donnie will shrivel up like the wicked witch of the West (in the Original).

The Switzerland Project in one study came up with some very interesting findings on a phenomenon called neuroplasticity—when we adopt new habitual responses to recurring triggers, including anger and rejection. How we process, reflect on, or deflect anger can indeed influence neural pathways over time, which may restructure certain brain circuits. I use this in Meditation frequently.

It will make you sick if you don't!

And I will be HONORED to stand next to you, Sharon! (Well, ok....SIT, as I'm in a wheelchair. But you can reach a LOT of vulnerable body parts from a chair! 🤣)

LINDA: I am completely LIVID about what is happening in this country under #Bumblefuck's Reign of Terror!! My Dad called a black man his brother, from infancy until their deaths (my Uncle Myron). My skinny little white Dad from Ohio joined the USAF, & was living happily in Alaska, along w/ my skinny little white Mom from Ohio, & their infant son (my older brother), when the USAF decided to send him to Georgia....in 1954....when racism was LEGAL. My folks WERE NOT going to put up w/ that! So they became (mostly 😉) non-violent protesters. They took little kids into White Only public bathrooms, drinking fountains, waiting rooms, & lunch counters. They used the Colored Only spaces & facilities mentioned above, when they didn't have anyone to take w/ them to the White ones. They only stood in Colored Only checkout lines. My Mom got into the habit of taking & serving lemonade to black chain gang members (refusing to give any to their white guards 🤣). Sometimes, if Dad saw a black man being abused by some idiot - even COPS - he'd step between the two & say, "You'll have to go through ME FIRST". (They couldn't do ANYTHING against my folks - they were under the auspices of the USAF, & the cops wouldn't EVEN challenge that....& all his CO said was, "Don't let me hear that you threw the FIRST punch". 🤣 Dad was a tough, wirey little dude w/ a big mouth!)

I wasn't born until Dad left the USAF & they moved back to Ohio. But BOTH MY PARENTS MADE *DAMNED SURE* I KNEW WHAT HAPPENED, & WHAT IT MEANT. " If we EVER hear of you treating ANYONE less than YOU expect to be treated, you'll have HELL TO PAY when you get home!" And I wasn't to stand idly by if I saw that happen to anyone ELSE, either. That's how I was taught, & raised, & STILL BELIEVE.

What's happening in this country, at #Bumblefuck's behest, is DISGUSTING, VILE, & UNACCEPTABLE. And, even at 69 & in a wheelchair, I have ALWAYS VOWED TO NEVER STAND BY WHILE *ANYONE* IS MISTREATED!

A LOT OF US HAVE YOUR BACKS, & ALWAYS WILL!!! 👊❤️

In fact, our police department union president is a big fascist Trumper himself. He is not the infamous John Burge, but still has received more than his share of complaints. Under him cops have been helping ICE.

She should read all of the fliers on what her rights are, as well as carry an immigration lawyer's phone number on her.

Very likely. Cuz drunken, stupid, low brow debauchery is much more relevant to MAGA ‘Murikkka today than the noble struggle for human rights and dignity.

Doc - you apparently don’t agree there’s too much talk about that “slavery” stuff?

HI2thDoc's avatar

No, the idea of owning another human being as property, confining them, abusing them in every way possible, systemically separating families, forced breeding for profit, denying them the most basic human dignity, and then to obscure and minimize its abhorrent nature needs to be stated explicitly so we never lose our humanity. But that's to folks like you and me and Walt. The racists in our nation would just as soon have everyone forget it ever happened. They paint this terrible legacy as being used for white guilt. which is not the point of remembrance. No one alive today was a slave owner. There is a huge fucking difference between acknowledging past wrongs and assigning blame to contemporaries. Sorry to rant--I know you were being sarcastic.

None of those people were actually from NJ. I live here and that show was a stain on our beautiful state.

Okay, Sharon, I’ve never seen the “show,” but my research shows that there were 2 cast members that actually were from New Jersey. That would be;

Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola, from Hazlet.

And -

Deena Cortez (no nickname!) from New Egypt.

Snooki Polizzi was born in Chile, but was raised in Marlboro, NJ.

NJ has some interesting names for cities.

I have no idea who these people are, what they do or if they’re still alive. Still, I’m sure you and your fellow residents of NJ cringe whenever the show is brought up…and so, I’m sorry. It won’t happen again.

I hadn’t done that research, I just was in Seaside when half of the boardwalk was shut down due to them filming that nasty show. It really didn’t represent the NJ in which I live.

Yes, and three years later, when I became a birdwatcher, my parents took me to the bird sanctuary every night to see the egrets and herons go to their nests. I can still see them in my mind. Then we went to the ice cream shop...

The best, until I turned 13. I saved my babysitting money and moved into my own apartment two days after I graduated from high school. From 13 to 28 we barely spoke, except for holidays and birthdays. Then I finally grew up and moved into adulthood. These days, I miss them every day. I'm within a year of the age my mother died, and I don't expect to outlive her.

WHEN did he go downstairs at the Kennedy Center to see these things? He hasn’t been able to do stairs safely since his 1st term (see West Point ramp & more).

Does he have this mixed up with going into the dressing rooms of his pageants? (Dementia patients do mix stories up). Or maybe the dressing room at Bergdorf’s or wherever. Is he regretting that he hasn’t assaulted any women at the Kennedy Center?

Which brings me to: hey, where are the Epstein files? & Maxwell is a GD liar. Gentleman my foot. Forget the pussy grabber tape. He doesn’t even hold the door for Melania (but Obama did.)

The longer this administration goes on and the stupider his yammering gets, the lower the IQs of MAGATs will go and the stronger their loyalty. This includes the GOP politicians and religious right.

So there WERE actual bullets, because someone was killed. And Trump DID seem genuinely surprised at the time. And there was blood on him. I just don't think that he's a good enough actor to pull that off if it was a scam and he was in on it. And yet I agree that it doesn't add up, at all.

#Bumblefuck was never "hit by a bullet". There was NO "BLOOD" ON HIS FACE UNTIL *AFTER* HE'D DUCKED DOWN BEGIND THAT PODIUM. The only reason he "bled" THAT MUCH in such a SHORT TIME, is because he had a THEATRICAL BLOOD PACKET IN HIS POCKET, which he SLAPPED AGAINST HIS HEAD before re-emerging.

Oh....& his "miracle ear"? <snort!> I grew up watching MY BROTHER HAVING HIS DEFORMED EARS SURGICALLY CORRECTED. Even if #Bumblefuck had only been NICKED by a bullet of ANY caliber, there is NO WAY MEDICALLY POSSIBLE he could have had the CARTILAGE TRIMMED & RESHAPED, the SKIN OVER IT TREATED THE SAME WAY, & DISCHARGED FROM THE ER IN LESS THAN ONE HR! As a "high profile" person, *especially*, that surgery would have involved ANESTHESIA, DRAINS, SEVERAL DAYS IN THE HOSPITAL, & HIS HEAD WRAPPED, to hold the ear securely in place while it healed (so he wouldn't roll over on it in his sleep, etc) - NOT a weenie chunk of gauze that he took off a couple days later while he golfed. Additionally? THAT EAR WOULD NOW BE SHAPED DIFFERENTLY THAN HIS *OTHER* EAR.

The entire incident was PLANNED IN ADVANCE.

To hit the teleprompter, a bullet would have had to SHATTER THE BULLETPROOF PLASTIC SURROUNDING HIM - which, as you can see on the video, WAS NOT BROKEN.

And, even if that HAD happened that way, #Bumblefuck is STILL A LYING SACK OF SHIT, because he's CONTINUALLY SAID HE WAS "SHOT".

Meant to add: Continually said he was "SHOT"....that HIS EAR WAS BLOWN APART, *AND* that, had the "bullet" hit him A QUARTER OF AN INCH CLOSER, HE'D HAVE BEEN KILLED.

"Thomas Matthew Crooks

American perpetrator of the 2024 shooting of former president Donald Trump (2003-2024)

Thomas Matthew Crooks was an American man who attempted to assassinate then-former U.S. president Donald Trump, who at the time was the presumptive Republican Party nominee for the 2024 presidential election. On July 13, 2024, at a rally near Butler, Pennsylvania, Crooks shot at Trump with an AR-15–style rifle from a nearby rooftop while Trump was giving a speech. Crooks wounded Trump's ear and killed one attendee while critically injuring two others before being killed by a Secret Service counter sniper team. Wikipedia"

Trump is delusional about his relationship with Putin. Trump said this to Macron when the European leaders came to Washington.

“I think he wants to make a deal *for me,* you understand, as crazy as it sounds,” Mr. Trump told President Emmanuel Macron of France on Monday, in a moment caught on a hot mic.

If Putin wanted to do a deal FOR TRUMP, he would have done it on January 21, 2025.

Props to the Interwebs for stepping up and stepping on Donald's TikTok. He was well and truly ratioed.

If Biden had said or done a fraction of Cankles McGoobrain's shit, they would have hustled him out of the WH before you can say ketchup on the wall.
