"blessed are the dipshits, for they will crap their dumbfuckery all over social media."

HA! Thats the damned truth.

And I love it when the felon makes some dumb ass announcement like the "Tiny Cars" and then says: ENJOY! WHAT???

The whole FIFA award bullshit is beyond embarrassing-he's off his rocker and everybody knows it. How much longer must we put up with all this shit??? There are no Big Strong Republicans (even with tears in their eyes) who will stand up and save the country???

Sharon Hudnall's avatar

By Tiny Cars he must be thinking of his own presidential golf carts that haul his ass right up to each hole on the green.

Marlene Lerner-Bigley (CA)'s avatar

Maybe, just maybe, those tiny cars are teensy enough to be shoved UP his fat ass!

Joe Witkowski's avatar

He’s thinking of the infinitesimal length dicks of every male member of his family - both living and deceased ( aka his Nazi dad Fred and his brother who drank himself to death.) spawns of Satan envisioned in the Book of Revelation. 👿 👿 😈

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

His brother drank himself to death BECAUSE of the Nazi sociopath father, who is also the reason why Trump is a black hole of need.

Leigh Hamilton's avatar

If Donnie Down-Low were my son, I'd drink myself to death, too.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

Except Fred Sr. made Donnie what he is today. Read Mary Trump's book. Donnie is the child of a father who told him he cannot ever lose or he is completely worthless and that he must always succeed at someone else's expense. His mother was emotionally absent.

Leigh Hamilton's avatar

Lots of us have rotten childhoods and it's a tiny fraction, a miniscule fraction of us, who turn out like Trump. Don't doubt what you're saying, just saying most of us overcome that shit.

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

YUP! My mother was SO fucking abusive and singled me out (as the last one not in school - yet, so she could indulge her rages It never stopped until I left. My sister became like her in her older age and when I saw my brother backhand his wife across the face in their car while I was in the backseat behind him (it was late, dark and I suspect he'd entirely forgotten I was there), I screamed like a banshee reaching over the headrest to smack as much of him as I could. SHE sat there stunned - embarrassed that I'd witnessed it - unsurprisingly (later on, I realized) she took it out on me for actually standing up for her. I never forgave him for becoming our mother. If 'I' could refuse to turn out like her, why couldn't they?

Linda Weide's avatar

So, Trump married his mother with Melania.

Ellen McKenzie's avatar

We go to counseling and figure out that not everything our parents say to us is true or kind.

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

Some of us don't (didn't) go to counseling to find that out, lol. We KNOW what's going on and what's wrong from right. It's simple. Figuring out HOW to grow up as a 'motherless child' is a whole lot harder but some of us had to manage without help. My best friend was my sounding board - and willing to be. I didn't need a counselor. I wish everyone as long and as loving a friend like her.

Linda Weide's avatar

The tiny car is the one driving around in his brain, noticing the growing holes where gray matter is supposed to be. Perhaps Putin planted an electrode in it as well. People who voted for this kaka-kakistocracy got what they wanted. The rest of us did not.

Of all the infuriating things that happened this week, I think the FIFA Peace Award might be the one that put me over the edge.

Joe Witkowski's avatar

Next week he’ll get one from the WWE and Evelyn Harper who is dismantling the Department of Education.

MAGA must have a covert mining operation to find all of these fucking demented knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing cretins under large rocks.

KP Johnson Austin, TX's avatar

We MUST laugh or we will die of an aneurysm. What else can we do here?

Cats 🐈🐈‍⬛'s avatar

Hi KP! It’s a beautiful day in Austin today. I don’t know about you, but I was seriously pissed off about wheels and Patrick’s redistricting win at SCROTUS. They all suck! I don’t know how much longer I will live (I’m 70), but I hope to make it past the time this regime is either dead or all in prison. What about you? Hope you are well!

Marguerite Foster's avatar

Hi Cats, I live outside Austin and am 76 and feel the exact same way. Wheels and Dannieboy (and a few others) are rotten to the core. I believe it started when all those idjit republicons moved here from California. The republicons have turned Austin and the surrounding areas into a shitehole and that p*sses me off. Don't get me started on that nutjob Muskrat and his factory in SE Austin that was caught dumping wastewater in the Texas Colorado River.

I sure do miss Ann Richards.

Cats 🐈🐈‍⬛'s avatar

Yeah, I agree with you. Ann Richards was amazing!

MzNicky in East Jesus, TN's avatar

It’s all performative infotainment. Donny is now the distraction from the Fascists who are destroying our democracy. And are we not entertained?

Bonnie Council's avatar

Yep. While he's busy typing nonsense onto Lies Social who knows what Miller, Vought, Thiel, Thune and other "trump managers" are up to? They prefer us distracted, so of course they're happy when he does just that.

Joyce's avatar

It was so thoroughly cringe-inducing--on the part of the recipient AND the toadie handing out the Party City "medal" (did anyone check? I suspect it's one of those gold plastic ones that says "No. 1" on the back).

I saw it referred to as "Fucking Idiots Fake Award" and that made me feel better.

But I think the Crazy Eyes Patel saying anyone who attacks our Capitol will be prosecuted and drawn and quartered, or whatever he spewed, wins the Most Stupid prize. It’s hard to decide though, so many to cringe through!

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

Plastic plated participation trophies are all he wants out of something he knows nothing about Stephanie!

Linda Weide's avatar

Not me. In fact FIFA is known to be corrupt, and maybe this move might address some of that. It makes a mockery of Trump so it is funny. It does not harm anyone, and no one on the planet except for MAGAs would take it seriously.

Meanwhile Trump has made the US a client state of Russia, or as Olga Lautman put it a Satellite state of Russia.

https://open.substack.com/pub/olgalautman/p/trump-has-turned-the-us-into-moscows?r=f0qfn&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

One irony is that we were going to take Canada, one much smaller country, but still with 13 provinces and territories, and reduce it to a single state absorbed by us, but now we with 50 states became a single State of Russia. One of their overseas territories connected to them through some water and Alaska.

Stephen Schiff's avatar

Readers should be aware that the FIFA leadership is a hotbed of corruption, so it is fitting that the infant in charge should award a pseudo prize another corrupt infant.

I mean, like how the fuck is the US, with its fourth rate men's squad, worthy of hosting the tournament? Same way that Qatar got it in 2022: payola.

Hats off to the women for building the sport without the sleeeeze.

Thomas Massie? Rand Paul?

Dr J's Sanity Space's avatar

Rand Paul is a surprise; Massie is the closest to it

Joe Witkowski's avatar

Rand Paul is dying of terminal FAFO. FH — Fuck Him

Susan Niemann's avatar

Oh hell yes he is. 👏👏👏

Karen Livolsi's avatar

Agree with agreeing! Every morning this week I woke up, did my morning routine and sat down with a cuppa to realize that yes, yes, you found the words coming outta Rand Paul’s mouth to be sane, honest (mostly), the entire Senate should fall in line with Paul on the Epstein files and do a deep dive into the allegations of war crimes against alleged drug traffickers from Venezuela by the Department of War Crimes. Attacking boats in international waters while lacking the protection of a declaration of war, or the lack of any evidence that the boats were heading to the USA, has the stench of burning sulfur and brimstone.

“Did the ass whooping Paul’s neighbor gave him on November 3rd 2017 actually beat some sense into Rand?”

Also, Thomas Massie has a conscience. Like Senator Paul, I believe the two of them haven’t lost the ability to determine the difference between right and wrong and remaining connected to reality.

Defending and demanding justice for the survivors of Epstein, demanding names of what appears to be by the hundreds (if not thousands) in a network of corrupt billionaires.

The growing numbers of concerned members of the House and Senate are finding the bottom of the abyss. They found the line they cannot bring themselves to cross.

All the darkness and cover given to Jeffery Epstein over the decades of a deeply depraved pedophile ring “protected” by a network of blackmailers. Banks, like J.P. Morgan/Chase, allegedly turning a blind eye to the crimes being committed against children. Massive amounts of money being openly laundered, then being moved and deposited in illegal and corrupt hands with no accountability. Questions anyone?

P.S. Thank you for your patience. I stopped posting November 4th, 2024. I’ve tried to make a few efforts as of lately, half-heartedly and low energy. This one flowed out easily and I’m getting confident my posts are not irrelevant. I often read what Susan Niemann restacks and I enjoy her restacked podcasts. They hold my interest.

Thanks to all my fellow Substack members. We don’t always agree, and we don’t have to, I still like to read your views.

arne link's avatar

The most important thing about Epstein is all the hidden money. That's the real thing they do not wish to have exposed. The raping of young teens they can live with.

Susan Niemann's avatar

Hey Karen..Maybe Rand Pauls neighbor needs a Thank You Card? 😂 Seriously, will the Senate realize that if they DONT do something, their jobs will be over anyway...after that National Security Strategy paper they sent out in the middle of last night, it might as well have said... we're aligning with Russia and you all need to learn to speak the language. Once authoritarianism takes hold, we'll have no need for a congress or a senate or anything else. The Dems need to get rid of Schumer and Jeffries too, IMO.

AND.... your posts are never irrelevant. The sharing of thoughts and ideas is what brings us to solidarity and solutions. It's all so depressing, we need each other now more than ever. 💙✌️

arne link's avatar

True. who the heck woke Rand Paul up?

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

Rand Paul is just a professional contrarian. That's why he's ranked one of the mot "progressive" GOP members of the Senate: because he votes his own way for his own reason no one else understands. And occasionally that finds confluence with Democrats.

Kevin Rice's avatar

From Larry Wilmore's I'd Rather We Got the Casinos, specifically the "In Search of Black Jesus" chapter where he provides clues that he says mean Jesus was black:

"CLUE #8: He fed five thousand with two loaves and five fish. There is only one way to do this: make gumbo. I’ve seen brothas who started with less feed more than five thousand."

arne link's avatar

Did you see how he grabbed the shiny object? Like a greedy child. I wish it had caught on his nose and pulled off his wig. That would have been newsworthy.

Susan Niemann's avatar

I dunno, Arne…I’m very down about it all. I’m trying to see a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel…That National Security Strategy crap (written by Russia) they put out last night is F’ed up…we’ll all have to learn to speak Russian. And the damn Democrats need to pull their heads out of their asses and get assertive or I think we’re done. Maybe I just need a good nights sleep. 😂😂

The whole racist crazed national security plan drafted by Russia and handed to Trump by Witkoff and Kushner is also bullshit, but people are not laughing their asses off, Europe is fed up. See what The West Point Prof has to say.

I will enjoy Ukraine and Europe thwarting Putin's plans that Trump is charged with carrying out. No vacation on the golf course for Trump as long as Putin wants something from him, which he is going to do until one of them dies. We get thrown under the bus.

Wendy The Druid 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🌈's avatar

There's a particular stench that rises from documents written by fascists who've convinced themselves they're statesmen. It's the smell of old leather briefcases mixing with fresh bullshit, the acrid tang of policy papers that treat brown and Black bodies as either resources to extract or threats to contain. The 2025 National Security Strategy—quietly dropped by the Donny Caligulump administration late Thursday night like a turd in a punchbowl—reeks of exactly this combination: expensive cologne spritzed over centuries-old colonial rot.

I read Heather Cox Richardson's assessment of this mess and wanted to regurgitate. We're heading down a really dark road.

T L Mills's avatar

yep, me too. I wanted to go kick something--or somebody (Trump, specifically)--but instead I'm going to go to Graham Platner's town hall in tiny Oxford, Maine and get a breath of enthusiasm and "let's roll up the sleeves and get to work" fresh air.

arne link's avatar

I hope that he has a chance. It's time that Main shed Susan Collins. I don't know if Platner is the guy but Susie needs to go.

I read it during breakfast. A really horrible way to start the day, even though we sort of knew that’s what they wanted to do.

Jodi Richard's avatar

Did the same, I’ve been sick with some flu like thing so this morning was the first morning I had an appetite and then I read Heather’s and Wendy’s columns and that appetite went “fuckity bye”.

Mary Hall's avatar

Hubs and I have had a horrible fking flu for a week now (we are fully vaxxed and tested negative for Covid). Apparently, scientists used the wrong flu strain when creating this year's vaccine. Gawdfkingdamnit! I have had to turn down three awesome invites because of this sh!t. FUCK!!!

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

OH my, Mary - thank you for posting this! I'VE been SO sick since last Saturday (a week today) - 2 days after Thanksgiving, so wasn't sure IF I could have caught 'something' from two of the new people I met at my neighbour's Thanksgiving repast. My throat began hurting first, then the awful headache (I already get migraines) and my lungs just feel fucking WEIRD today - I can't seem to shake this off the way I do most of these things. I too got my flu shot AND Covid Booster just recently and have been seriously wondering WTF is going ON. I can't go TO the doctor if I'm sick (so hate the irony of carrying 'something' into her office to infect others) but hubby's going to have another toe amputation: same toe, just the whole thing this time so I HAVE to get better although the surgeon bought us a week (instead of this Tuesday), now scheduled for the 11th. Geez. I've no idea IF I'll be any better by then. I've never felt this fatigued. Was beginning to wonder IF I could outlive the orange fuckwit - I desperately want/need to do THAT, at least - and I still have MILES to go...

She was discussing we're at the end of a cycle? A corruption cycle? What did she mean?

She also discussed Hegseth is all-brawn and no brains which I 100% agree with.

You need a mix of both to be successful in obtaining secrets.

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

'brawn'? he looks like pee-wee herman in his teeny-weeny too short suits. gah. Maybe she meant his head is solid rock?

🌷IntheHalloftheMtnKing's avatar

Haha no, not him.

I'm saying it's not one or the other.

You need both to be successful.

He has no brains or brawn, but does seem to excel at being awful.

Elizabeth Schulz's avatar

I was agreeing with your agreement with her - being 'funny' about him not having either (since his head is solid rock?) whom I think Jeff calls 'pee-wee german'. Ah well. Couldn't sleep because of this miserable flu (or whatever the heck it is) so trying to catch up with posts in the middle of the night).

In the UK of the 1970s similar corrupt government documents smelt not of leather briefcases but nicotine stained walls and rusting tea urns. Post 1979/80 those buildings were torn down, many central locations sold off for development at vast profits and replaced with new steel and cement boxes wherein those who smoked and often turned up to work in their carpet slippers were replaced with those carrying high end leather briefcases. Now here we all are: ‘eyeless in Gaza and amongst our foes’.

Has the Muskrat decided to enter a Benedictine monastery that has a rule of silence, and donated all his money to the top 10 charities that have sterling reputations and cover food, shelter, education, health care and health research, and the arts, among other endeavors?

Jimmy Kimmel said Trump’s approval ratings are so bad, gas station bathrooms have better reviews on Yelp. That seems legit.

If you haven’t seen it, there’s a post on social media of Gavin receiving the inaugural Kohl’s Peace Prize (which comes with $50 in Kohl’s cash). I fucking love Gavin! 😂😂😂

Love him, love his staff: Do they sit around a writers' table, developing the new way to troll Donnie Demento?

Do you think they might be high?

Obviously way more valuable than the FIFA prize.

Laughed long and hard about the Joe-Rogan-and-guys-with-older-brothers post. As another person who came of age in the 1970s . . . spot on!

Thanks, Jeff!

I spent many years of my life smoking shitloads of pot and saying all kinds of stupid shit, but fortunately none of it happened in front of a camera

Me too Jeff. It's amazing I graduated from HS and college. Thanks for the encouraging words from the white christian misogynist Joel Webbon, telling us gals to lose 20-30 pounds. We know their type. No matter how bald, fat, ugly or toothless they themselves are, they always think women find them irresistible. As you say, they can fuck all the way off.

And all men, no matter how old or physically repulsive, seem to feel like they are owed a supermodel.

I am lucky AF that Facebook, et. al. didn't exist in the 1970s.

My crew of 8-20 people was under the radar “cool” and intelligent, neo-hippy, within the ages 14-19. Somebody always had plenty of pot, beer or wine to share in the daylight basements of one of our homes. We wouldn’t have exposed ourselves to public media. One crazy mom reported all our names to the police but nothing came of it, because she sounded crazy. She had boarded up all the windows inside of her home, while the outside looked perfectly respectable in the neighborhood. Cops stopped us hotboxing inside a car, filled with potsmoke. They knocked on the windows, let my bestie & I get out in front of her house and told the rest to drive off and go home 😜😇 Most of us turned out just fine.

Pot isn't like alcohol. Nobody gets high and wants to fight. My sister toured in Europe with musicians, including Freddy Fender. She said that Freddy would get drunk and want to fight and he wasn't that big, not big at all. They would have to drag him to his room because they needed him to appear the next night. Ah, the enviable life of musicians.

Ask any cop if they'd rather deal with a drunk or a stoner.

Ha, ha, ha. Aren't we all? I do wish there were more photos of me during my slim phase...

Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) coined, I think, by Kellyanne Conway during Trump 1 is a real 1984ish tactic used by fascists to demoralize and exhaust their opponents. "Flood the zone" with extreme comments, policies and actions, the consequences for which have a long path to future accountability.

As an ALPHA leader you excite your supporters and depress your opponents by making them "see" the darkness of your world view.

We must not become discouraged or depressed by TDS.

We must not give up hope for bringing back Freedom, Equality and Humanity, the ideals on which America was conceived and founded.

Reread the Declaration of Independence, a doctrine still worth fighting for.

RESIST! ORGANIZE! TAKE AMERICA BACK!

Kay-El's avatar

As I’ve stated eleventy zillion times to various kooks and crackpots TDS belongs to the idiots who think Trump is fit for office.

Cheryl Seybert's avatar

I agree with you wholeheartedly!!!

FTrump And FPutin Too's avatar

Absolutely, they always project their own character flaws and bad actions.

Lin Talbot-Koehl's avatar

Exactly! TDS is a SYNDROME exhibited by DERANGED people who think 🚽RUMP is sane.

It's gaslighting on a national level. We must constantly work to maintain our clear sight.

Another absolutely hysterical post. 🥂.

Couldn’t agree more with everything you’ve penned.

Cmon blood clot and amyloid proteins on overdrive ! Get the job done already . Deliver us from …..dumb fuckery.

Jeff, these are very unserious people leading our government. Take Kash(please) ordering his security team for his girlfriend to take his girlfriend’s girlfriend home after drinking too much. Kash’ girlfriend, the country western singer who sings at rasseling events and as Kash says she is more patriotic than 10 Americans, whatever the fuck that means.. OK another episode of “Golf with MAGAs”.. Golf was fun, took money and scored well. Lunch was decidedly different. One mega MAGAs said at his TDay dinner a green haired single woman, over 55, began to ranting what a horrible person Donald is.. and this guy walked out to the backyard.. Highly unusual for him not to argue. Another mentioned blowing those boats out of the water off Venezuela… I said it’s only a matter of time some randos will do the same to American vessels. I then spoke about the pardon to the cocaine trafficker x Honduran prez, who brought in over 400 tons of cocaine… I then asked the question why was he given a pardon? How much $$ did he give Donald through Bondi’s brother, who is an attorney… Dead silence… My work was done, no push back at all… Best to all Fellow Travelers.

Thank you for your service.

Ahhh Thanksgiving with MAGA…- turns a nice dinner into a hostile environment.

How does one measure “Patriotism” anyway. Do you have to have a flag sewn into your denim jacket? Seems like a stupid right wing idea.

Jeff thanks for another outstanding week. We need to get Trump some weed, he might actually become coherent. FIFA, is going out of its way to kiss ass. They rented space in Trump Tower and gave him a replica of The FIFA CUP, so this fake medal is just another sign that they know what most of us know, give him something, anything and he will set you up with anything (I mean) anything you want. He is master transaction.

FYI the Resolute desk he is using in the WH is not the original one. He moved it, are you ready to Mara-shit-Hole and its on display roped and stations and an American flag. We will never see it again. First it was files now its furniture. (my source a friend event planner) Unfortunately I have been inside the bat cave long ago.

He's the world's most malevolent bowerbird.

I don’t care one pricktator bitcoin about the presidential furniture. i DO care that he illegally took dozens of file boxes of top secret information to an off site location AND NEVER GOT TRIED & CONVICTED for such a theft!

CA Productions/Carol Ann's avatar

Actually that’s my point. He does what the fuck he wants and walks away

A completely STUPID week Jeff! It fucking never ends. Thanks for adding humor to it-it’s pretty much all we can do right now it seems. But—-I will continue to protest!!!

Jeff, sometime soon, we need a new word for “stupid” as all of this dumbfuckery exceeds the week’s levels.

I use 'stoopid', which I stole from the hysterical cartoon 'Invader Zim' - created by Jhonan Vasquez. He likes to decorate his scenes with trash on the ground, including cans labeled 'poop cola' and 'stoopid snacks'.
