Oh, and a little tidbit that floated across my screen yesterday, when Trump arrived at Mar a Crapo, he had to be calmed and talked down. Yep, he is freakin', and at least he's got just that much awareness. If he had half a brain, he wouldn't keep baiting the Hague criminal hunter. That guy is really good at his job and who knows, maybe he doesn't appreciate having his faimly put in danger constantly and maybe Donald Dumb is missing that every time he escalates his threats, namecalling and hatefulness, Smith goes and digs a little deeper and lo and behold, this time he comes up with another piece of overwhelming evidence attached to another live human who is now also in serious trouble.
This is a pretty wonderful thing you've done here. I started laughing at the beginning and all the way to the end. If anyone can make us laugh through the horror of all this, it's a saving feat. More, please. hahahahahahaha
Exactly! I saved this for this quiet moment on Saturday and huzzah! It was worth waiting for. Belly laughs at every paragraph. My gratitude to you Jeff.
To further add to the X comedy of errors, Elon can't change the name in the Apple store because Apple requires apps to have a minimum of 2 characters. The app's icon has changed to an X, but the name of the app is still Twitter.
The best way for Donald Trump to get out of all his legal problems would be to get on his private jet with the solid gold toilets and tell the pilot to take him to Saudi Arabia, or any country without an extradition treaty with the US. But he better act fast. The indictments are still coming and at some point they're going to make him turn over this passport to the authorities.
I hear they have some lovely golf courses on the Arabian peninsula. And a few gold plated toilets and any number of high priced hookers who would be thrilled to pee on him. Perfect.
I’ve been saying this for years. He should wrap up the whole family and flee to Brazil. They could live fabulous lives beyond the reach of law enforcement because there’s no extradition treaty.
What’s going to do him in is his belief that he can get away with everything, as he’s gotten away with everything for decades. But Jack Smith can’t be intimidated, bribed or pressured; HE’S the 800 pound gorilla now, not Cheetoh Jesus. But my concern is that he’ll be sentenced to house arrest, not prison. What I’d prefer is the Mussolini treatment: Hang him by his feet and beat him to death. I’d SETTLE for a lengthy prison sentence but I don’t think the Justice Department is ready to put him in prison. And that worries me.
My feeling is that if I’D be sent to prison for doing the same thing,.why should HE get a pass?I get that house arrest would be some existential punishment but anyone else would be jailed for espionage so why not him? House arrest still allows for a luxurious confinement.
If OBAMA had done this, would HE get house arrest? OF COURSE NOT.
Donald Trump is dumb but not dumb enough to throw himself on the mercy of M bin SAS although he did seem to think he could just tell Kim Jung Un what was what. So, not totally sure, but Trump is more likely to trust men that eat rice than men who wear cloths on their heads, given the comments he has made about muslims over the years.
Perhaps he would be better off with North Korea, or Russia. Russia loves to parade around their defectors, and Trump is probably on their payroll. Perhaps Biden could trade an incarcerated Trump to Russia for Paul Whelan and Evan Gershkovich. His people should consider making the offer. Trump can of course then help Putin destablize EU countries like Germany, particularly the former Eastern States, Hungary, Poland, Sweden, Denmark, France, Italy, and return-to-the-EU-wannabe, Great Britain.
I did too, until about 30 years ago, when I ran into a couple of Mensans who were holocaust deniers. Had no clue that was even a thing. The scary part is that what was the nutjob fringe back then seems to be taking over most of a major political party and a whole bunch of media.
In my youth, and I'm 79, these people were pretty much shunned, the dimwits, the Evangelicals who support Trump and since I'm from the South and they've always had that "you look like a carpetbagger if you're above the Mason/Dixon Line", so imagine my shock they're all in love with the biggest carpetbagger flimflam corrupt jackass of all.
Kari filtered face. Did she not get the memo that Trump now finds her tedious and headline grabbing? How did she not know those things wouldn't be likable to him.
Oh, Jeff, as I said before night's worth repeating? I love you and I love what you do in print. It's like you go into my mind. You read all my thoughts, you get it them up, and you lay them out for everybody to read. And you do it so much better than I could. You're stil articulate and I appreciate your honesty you're the best.
This is one of your funniest weekly recaps. The Kari Lake fork eye poke put me on the floor. Your lens of humor filters the BS that keeps me from murderous rage at Republican idiocy.
these things are only as good as how stupid the wingnuts are on any particular week. my own personal favorite is the week that someone said that Mount Rushmore was a demonic portal that leaked communists. you literally can't make this stuff up

The great business man that keeps 2 sets of books and then runs for president, that guy? Because who would ever know right?
I began my day with an excellent chuckle and you just assured I end it with an excellent chuckle.

I did it in the morning so now it's late afternoon and it made my day!

Elon loves being a dick. It's nice when his dickishness gets smashed.
Stomping..
Talk about a guy who can't quit stepping on his dick!
The website is still Twitter.com also !
I’m still waiting for the GOP to claim running for their lives is what prepared Blacks to be so good at sports.
They're not clever enough. This is clever.
GAWD I LOVED hearing that about “X” belonging to Zuck. Holy cow that Musk idiot can’t get out of his own way.
Isn't that great! Now let's have that cage match or whatever they plan to make themselves look more foolish.
If he ran for president, the rubes would vote for him.
My fave, Jeff:
“...my god, how does this woman get the fork to her mouth without stabbing herself in the eye...”
All I could think of was Steve Martin in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels with the cork on his fork🤣🤣
Perhaps we could all send her one...or two?🍴
Ruprecht!
YES!! LOL!
LOL!!!
Yes! That one had me howling!!

I do not believe anything Trump has is solid gold, fake plate, yes. Not solid gold. Sold gold jackass, yeah, I would believe that.
I’ve been saying this for years. He should wrap up the whole family and flee to Brazil. They could live fabulous lives beyond the reach of law enforcement because there’s no extradition treaty.

I’d SETTLE for a lengthy prison sentence but I don’t think the Justice Department is ready to put him in prison. And that worries me.
Actually, house arrest and no media connection might be more punishing for him than death.
Yes it would. Keep him confined, keep his mouth shut. That would be prison for him.
No hamberders. No KFC.
And no ketchup.
My feeling is that if I’D be sent to prison for doing the same thing,.why should HE get a pass?I get that house arrest would be some existential punishment but anyone else would be jailed for espionage so why not him? House arrest still allows for a luxurious confinement.
If OBAMA had done this, would HE get house arrest? OF COURSE NOT.
Yes
Him and 20 secret service guys?
If he’s not allowed to leave, he wouldn’t need Secret Service protection, would he?
Lifetime appointment.
Then again maybe being a convicted felon?
Me too

Per Steven Beschloss: "Jack Smith might be simply described as a badass."
Mine is the "Fuck around...meet Find Out" meme.
Serious question... who watches Ben Shapiro?
I grew up thinking all humans believed the Holocaust was bad. How did we get here?

Shouldn’t the caption describing Kari Lake read:
Current Governor of Arizona ... in her own mind.
Kari filtered face. Did she not get the memo that Trump now finds her tedious and headline grabbing? How did she not know those things wouldn't be likable to him.
Well done as usual! Great Wrap Up!
Is it just me or are the weeks getting stupider?
They're like later entries in a long running movie franchise. Each has to be bigger, better, louder and stupider than the last.
It's not just you! Every week seems to outdo itself!
But funnier!
They seem to be.
Oh, Jeff, as I said before night's worth repeating? I love you and I love what you do in print. It's like you go into my mind.

And you know what I say, f*** Twitter?
It is guaranteed some fucking stupid dipshit will do something stupid by the time you have lunch

You have to admit they are creative. Stupid but creative in their conspiracies. Then there is the link between madness and creativity ...
Maybe I should go to South Dakota. I've always wanted a pet Trotsky.
We come here to stay sane.
