This Week in LOSING: CEOs won't clap for Trump--on HIS BIRTHDAY!!
CEOs who attended a meeting with Trump in Washington 6/13/2024 told reporters they found him uninformed and unfocused. Christina Wilkie and Brian Schwartz of CNBC noted that the attendees dislike the Biden administration’s enforcement of antitrust laws, its price caps on drugs and medical products, and its promise of progressive tax policy and like Trump’s promise to slash regulations and cut taxes, so they went into the meeting hoping to support him.
One CEO left the meeting with the takeaway that “Trump doesn’t know what he’s talking about,” and several, Andrew Ross Sorkin of CNBC reported, said that he “was remarkably meandering, could not keep a straight thought [and] was all over the map.” He could not explain how he planned to accomplish any of the policies he was proposing. When asked why he had chosen a policy of bringing the corporate tax rate down to 20% [from 21%], he allegedly answered: “Well, it’s a round number.”
Trump also excitedly detailed to the corporate juggernauts his promise to eliminate taxes on worker tips—a questionable offer he stole from a Republican nominee for Senate and which, darkly, provoked LAUGHTER from the room full of CEOs.
No one applauded Trump, attendees reported, in striking contrast to reports of the enthusiasm of Republican lawmakers.
Jeff, I’m doing what we all should do. Copy ReScumliCon tactics. I’m releasing my very own polling information.. Biden has 80% of the vote, trump has 12%, 8% undecided. Apparently there is absolutely no requirements to fact check, find out which people they polled etc. But I must add, I haven’t met a Democrat who has been polled yet. 🤫
No kidding. Ask a Democrat in San Francisco about Biden? No, no, no! The diners in remote Michigan are too representative of how the REAL Americans feel!
Notice how Fox so called News always refers to the polls whenever Biden has done something that makes him look like he’s doing good things for Americans-or if old Cheeto does something stupid. If they didn’t have polls to refer to then they would have nothing to come back with
That’s why I like Sara Longwells focus groups. Even though it’s a small sampling, she does them frequently and asks specific questions. I agree about polling. I also don’t know anyone who has ever been polled. We know they aren’t an accurate representation this far out. Donny is deteriorating before everyone’s eyes. Polls are worthless, especially now.
I hope these CEO’s finally realized they’ve hooked their star to an anvil instead. It would serve them all right; grasping, greedy, self-serving takers. Every. Last. One!
But can guarantee you when Biden wins in November and the stock market takes off because of the stability in the economy with the steady hand of Biden continuing, those CEO’s will be all in for Biden! Just watch. Such loyalty!
Can’t predict the future but SM is up overall with Biden despite what MAGA says. If price of their stock goes up , company is more valuable. More $ in their bank accounts. If that’s their bottom line then that’s their motivation. They do play every angle but profit is king.
We’ll see I guess. It’s my opinion that those guys play in a whole different ballpark and certainly by their own rules. The “greed is good” gene is strong so will keep their powder dry for more advantageous times. The stock mkt is but one game they play.
I've gone back to X after three years so I could keep an eye on what's shakin' for MAGA. Right now these economic illiterates are all agog over Trump's musings about eliminating the income tax. I guess they don't realize if the Govt goes broke the citizenry will have to pony up for every service that it will no longer be able to provide. Think of the howls of anguish every time the Republicans shut down the govt for a few days. It would be something to see.
Wait until they gut Medicare and social security… and the parents move back in with YOU. But not to worry, every year lots of them will die from the newest flu version that the CDC doesn’t have the funds to research and create a vaccine to prevent nor distribute. So the bedrooms will be empty for the kids and their kids to come back because the economy is so bad that only one job in each family, which won’t support the whole family. Buy a house? 😝😜🤪
I had a convo with some dumbfuck on a different platform years ago who complained about taxes. I asked him who’ll fix the bridges, roads, etc. and do you live with your folks who pay for it, not you? Radio silence after that.
Yea, D-Day was a colossal failure...wait, what the actual fuck? Tell that to the few remaining heroes who were there to commemorate the 80th anniversary. Better yet, tell that to the thousands of Americans who didn't make it off that beach. Sit down, Lindsey.
1. “the right-wing noise machine can sense a disaster brewing” It’s their own fault for drinking Rudy’s swill
2. “Junk fees! I live for paying them. I purposely pay late so I can get hit with them”, said no one ever. Tim Scott doesn’t know what junk fees are apparently: “they can increase costs, obscure the true price, and make a profit off of "gotchas". I just love surprises, don’t you?
Tim Scott says he’s been pulled over by the police for “driving while black” and then says there’s no racism in the US. He also says black people love the orange fart maker
Had to read this several times to get a grip on how utterly fascinating the trumpanzee strategy is. Through each scan, I kept coming back to something I read during Shitler’s last nightmare run. It has stuck with me ever since.
Why would anyone buy food in a place where people don’t wear clothes? Eewwwwww. That said, I nearly snorted coffee (not Rudy’s) with: Hair Dye Decaf and Mocha Covid Fart
Back in the Publisher Clearinghouse days of the 80s, I had a couple of magazine subscriptions. Two that I recall were Rolling Stone (before they went to absolute sh*t) and Playboy. I won't lie, but at least back then Playboy DID have some pretty good interviews.
A caller on a talk radio show I was listening to a while back said that he was delivering pizzas in SC and Mz. Lindsey opened the door wearing only a bathrobe. Another man was in the background wearing a matching robe. The pizza guy says, "Hey, aren't you a senator?" Mz. Lindsey replied, "Yeah, I'm Bernie Sanders."
By now if someone outed Lindsay Graham, it would become a big yawn-fest, “no shit Sherlock” after a day of media blitz. If true, it is surprising that no one has come forward to out him in all this time he’s been in the Senate.
I'd certainly believe that Putin supplied some or all of the information Fuckface used to get Lindsey under control. Seeing Graham go on the Daily Show in 2016 and totally lose his shit over how awful Trump was, then become Trump's biggest cheerleader, seemed extreme enough that it was difficult to imagine it was just that Lindsey was gay.
Then again, I guess I'm not the target audience here: Graham would probably have to resign his Senate seat if that information was officially out in the open. While the people who would a) believe Trump *and* b) condemn Graham for it would hardly be a large majority, they would mostly be Republiscum.
So if that's what he's using to keep LIndsey under control, the Orange Jenius must have something more substantial than rumors... so yeah, maybe more-explicit kompromat supplied by Vlad.
Trump’s given more secrets away to foreign enemies than any spy we ever gave the death penalty to. But the ELDERLY, FELON-RAPIST-Seditionist-liar gets treated like a prince waiting to ascend t the thrown.
Jeff, this is a perfect collection this week! You nailed the ‘Graham Cracker’ perfectly! As for ‘Dye sided Guggliani’ I don’t drink coffee. If I did, I damn sure wouldn’t drink anything that had his name, or picture, on it!
I would like to say something about the living out of a box under a bridge. From January through the first week of April 2023 I lived under a bridge here in Georgia. It was colder than hell, and extremely uncomfortable. Actually, if it wasn’t for the other homeless folks there I’d probably have died. I had no medications, my oxygen, none of my medical equipment, nothing. I had no food, nor money when I hit there. The others helped me out for three weeks keeping me alive. So, I have them to thank for my life.
Ohhh yes, Teri! I’m in a good situation now. I’m living in a home with my caregiver. I’m paying all the household bills, but what the hell. You can’t take any of it with you!!!
My youngest stepson came to Albany and found me after he and his wife couldn’t get hold of me. He put me in a motel for three days, contacted my doctor who had nurses come and check me over, got me my medications, while he and his wife contacted the old landlady and retrieved what medical equipment hadn’t been toted to the dump of given away. He then set me up in an apartment here.
Hi Jeff. I’m wishing you an early happy Father’s Day. It’s okay to take a day off if you need to. We’ll be here waiting for your next post. Enjoy your family
You can’t love this country and vote for Republicans. At least trump is honest about being a prick and hating America, veterans, the law, decency, intelligence, honesty, goodness, kindness, truth and just about anything else we hold dear. Republicans love trump. That says it all.
You are right. Trump's only strength is that he is an asshole "on purpose" & so many want to emulate that. There is no love for country or anything of value in that.
Lindsey Graham looks at Donald Trump like teenage girls looked at David Cassidy back in my day. If he had any shame, he’d be embarrassed by how stupid he appears.
Hi Jeff, thanks for providing the lunacy report for the week.. Observing the congressional response upon the return to the crime scene by their lord and savior, all I can say is the level of loyalty and derangement is truly astounding… we’re talking levels exceeding the worship of Kim Jong Un… these idiots will do or say anything to protect their master, especially on his BDay… which reminds me…I haven’t seen any BDay greeting from Mel… I have to wonder..is she even in the country? Have a great weekend Jeff and fellow travelers.
The clips of his subjects receiving him were nauseating, no? The GOP willingness to debase themselves by fawning all over him is disgusting, embarrassing, and terrifying all at once.
Boy, it’s hard to pick which is the funniest. Sure, Lindsey praising Glorious Leader’s golf game evokes that time when Kim (daddy) got 18 holes-in-one and it made the news, of course, but the strip club being in Miami gets bonus points, and I’m reminded of that line in Caddyshack, “Cinderella kid, outta nowhere…”. Have a lovely weekend.
And it's only mid-June. There's four and a half months of this to come. (By "this" I mean: rambling, nonsense, shark/battery monologues, idiocy about tariffs, undeniable evidence of dementia, and the entire GOP's desperate effort to ignore it, explain it away, justify it, and further embarrass themselves.)

BTW, discussing taxes on tips with CEO's is like selling bikinis to polar bears. Not exactly a deeply felt need.
folks, I'm writing about this tomorrow. please don't burn yourselves out commenting on it today
Jeff, I’m doing what we all should do. Copy ReScumliCon tactics. I’m releasing my very own polling information.. Biden has 80% of the vote, trump has 12%, 8% undecided. Apparently there is absolutely no requirements to fact check, find out which people they polled etc. But I must add, I haven’t met a Democrat who has been polled yet. 🤫
In my voting years (AND before) I have never been polled by anyone except my kids. My husband knows better than to ask. 😘
Me too plus I don’t know anyone who has.
No kidding. Ask a Democrat in San Francisco about Biden? No, no, no! The diners in remote Michigan are too representative of how the REAL Americans feel!

Yes. The MSM just loves them a Cletus Safari
That’s why I like Sara Longwells focus groups. Even though it’s a small sampling, she does them frequently and asks specific questions. I agree about polling. I also don’t know anyone who has ever been polled. We know they aren’t an accurate representation this far out. Donny is deteriorating before everyone’s eyes. Polls are worthless, especially now.
Agree, Most poll phone calls pop on my phone as Possible Scam, so I delete it. The Maga Nuts have nothing else to do but answer them.
She’s a real gift to us!
I can't wait!!!
(So, I guess I didn't wait.)
😆 😆 😆
lol, you couldn't wait!
...this oughta be good. I'll make popcorn.
Oh GOODIE. Cuz the next few weeks you’ll need a LOT of bandwidth so have your thesaurus out.
I hope these CEO’s finally realized they’ve hooked their star to an anvil instead. It would serve them all right; grasping, greedy, self-serving takers. Every. Last. One!

Yeah, imagine when there is a national emergency like a hurricane or something. They will be begging for help from the Gov-munt but it won't come.
Wait until they gut Medicare and social security… and the parents move back in with YOU. But not to worry, every year lots of them will die from the newest flu version that the CDC doesn’t have the funds to research and create a vaccine to prevent nor distribute.

That's the Gummint, sir.
I had a convo with some dumbfuck on a different platform years ago who complained about taxes. I asked him who’ll fix the bridges, roads, etc. and do you live with your folks who pay for it, not you? Radio silence after that.
Fucking libertarians, selfish pricks who want everyone else to support them.
Yep. It’s all about the bootstraps until something crumbles.
There ya go!
It's like the old guy carrying the sign that said, "Keep your government hands off my Medicare!"
😆😆
I guess it depends on how you define intelligence amirite...
Suddenly the GQP is taking on the policies of the Libertarians-maybe because they have no policies of their own that the majority will vote for
They may be bastards to their employees but they won’t hop into a car speeding towards a cliff.
When will someone, anyone, state the obvious. Trump has dementia and it’s accelerating fast. Listen to Shrinking Trump podcast.
GQP lawmakers are bottom of the barrel. How friggin pathetic!!
Let's call LDFF "Loathsome Rhodes."
A new one for the list!
Absolutely!
Yes, they will vote for him.
AND donate.
Moot anyway, this planet is burning up.
Exactly!
Yes, they will
Not only that, but businesses need stability, so people feel safe enough to buy their widgets, Tangeranus brings nothing but insanity and chaos.
Yea, D-Day was a colossal failure...wait, what the actual fuck? Tell that to the few remaining heroes who were there to commemorate the 80th anniversary. Better yet, tell that to the thousands of Americans who didn't make it off that beach. Sit down, Lindsey.
Lindsey and Tim use the same MAGA library 🙄🙄.
they're both from south carolina - they don't know what a libary is
😂
And they flunked American History in high school.
Are they secretly a couple?
They’re from the same state & share the same closet!
Oh better yet, tell it to the millions of Europeans still living under Nazi occupation.
1. “the right-wing noise machine can sense a disaster brewing” It’s their own fault for drinking Rudy’s swill
2. “Junk fees! I live for paying them. I purposely pay late so I can get hit with them”, said no one ever. Tim Scott doesn’t know what junk fees are apparently: “they can increase costs, obscure the true price, and make a profit off of "gotchas". I just love surprises, don’t you?
Tim Scott says he’s been pulled over by the police for “driving while black” and then says there’s no racism in the US. He also says black people love the orange fart maker
He’s entitled to his delusions though I absolutely believe the first part.
Yeah, I’ve had a similar experience
Had to read this several times to get a grip on how utterly fascinating the trumpanzee strategy is. Through each scan, I kept coming back to something I read during Shitler’s last nightmare run. It has stuck with me ever since.
“Rock bottom has a basement.”
They call that a sub-basement. But does the sub-basement have a sub-basement?
Yep. The pit of Hell.
Why would anyone buy food in a place where people don’t wear clothes? Eewwwwww. That said, I nearly snorted coffee (not Rudy’s) with: Hair Dye Decaf and Mocha Covid Fart
Jeff- you are brilliant!!! Thank you!!!!
"Hair Dye Decaf and Mocha COVID Fart". Laughing like a crazedh hyena! Hope Lady Ruby & Shay Moss's attnys are all over any possible coffee income.
saying you went to a strip club for the food is like saying you watch porn for the plot
I used to read Playboy for the articles
Back in the Publisher Clearinghouse days of the 80s, I had a couple of magazine subscriptions. Two that I recall were Rolling Stone (before they went to absolute sh*t) and Playboy. I won't lie, but at least back then Playboy DID have some pretty good interviews.
😂😂😂
well, I watch porn for the plot. so don't knock it!
lol
And if you haven’t dragged your boyfriend to a porn movie theater for the ‘experience’, well… never mind.
😁😂
Everybody loves a movie with a happy ending.
Good one!
😂
Man, I would REALLY like to know what Orange Jenius has on Lindsey... it's gotta be yuuuge...
I’m thinking it’s the same thing he has on Tim Scott and it’s buried somewhere deep in a closet. SC really knows how to pick them.
See also the more explicit "Ram Ranch" song.
I wonder why I’ve never heard that song on “Classic Cowboy Corral” with Ranger Doug and Too Slim.
I just heard a song on that program called “The Gay Ranchero.”
A caller on a talk radio show I was listening to a while back said that he was delivering pizzas in SC and Mz. Lindsey opened the door wearing only a bathrobe. Another man was in the background wearing a matching robe. The pizza guy says, "Hey, aren't you a senator?" Mz. Lindsey replied, "Yeah, I'm Bernie Sanders."
Whether or not it really happened, that's funny!
By now if someone outed Lindsay Graham, it would become a big yawn-fest, “no shit Sherlock” after a day of media blitz. If true, it is surprising that no one has come forward to out him in all this time he’s been in the Senate.
I wonder what's keeping Matching Robe Guy from selling his story?
Oh that's right, hush money payments.
I think it’s got to be about the reason he’s known on the back streets as Miss Lindsay.
Un poco loco, it’s what Vlad has on them all, Elderly Felon doesn’t have the brain cells to hold ANY information.
I'd certainly believe that Putin supplied some or all of the information Fuckface used to get Lindsey under control. Seeing Graham go on the Daily Show in 2016 and totally lose his shit over how awful Trump was, then become Trump's biggest cheerleader, seemed extreme enough that it was difficult to imagine it was just that Lindsey was gay.
Then again, I guess I'm not the target audience here: Graham would probably have to resign his Senate seat if that information was officially out in the open. While the people who would a) believe Trump *and* b) condemn Graham for it would hardly be a large majority, they would mostly be Republiscum.
So if that's what he's using to keep LIndsey under control, the Orange Jenius must have something more substantial than rumors... so yeah, maybe more-explicit kompromat supplied by Vlad.
He has to depend on the voters from South Carolina and they “ don’t cotton to no queer people “
A lot of them may already wonder, but it's one thing to think Lindsey might be a little light in the loafers and a whole 'nother thing to see video.
They would have to.see a video and even then most of them would not believe it
Thank you! The RNC got hacked by Vladimir's hackers, but the Albino rapist never released any of that. The fucking Putin licker.
Trump’s given more secrets away to foreign enemies than any spy we ever gave the death penalty to. But the ELDERLY, FELON-RAPIST-Seditionist-liar gets treated like a prince waiting to ascend t the thrown.
The Lindsay Graham double douche-nozzle week for the win!
Graham cracker will never be able to get rid of the shit stains on his tongue
Jeff, this is a perfect collection this week! You nailed the ‘Graham Cracker’ perfectly! As for ‘Dye sided Guggliani’ I don’t drink coffee. If I did, I damn sure wouldn’t drink anything that had his name, or picture, on it!

So, I have them to thank for my life.
Daniel, so sorry you experienced homelessness and being without your medical necessities. Hope you are in a safer situation now. 🙏
Ohhh yes, Teri! I’m in a good situation now. I’m living in a home with my caregiver. I’m paying all the household bills, but what the hell. You can’t take any of it with you!!!
How did you get back under a roof?
My youngest stepson came to Albany and found me after he and his wife couldn’t get hold of me. He put me in a motel for three days, contacted my doctor who had nurses come and check me over, got me my medications, while he and his wife contacted the old landlady and retrieved what medical equipment hadn’t been toted to the dump of given away. He then set me up in an apartment here.
Hooray! Someone definitely cared!
Jeeez- that really sucks. Hope you on your feet now, Dan
I’m doing much better now. At least I have a purpose for living.
Hi Jeff. I’m wishing you an early happy Father’s Day. It’s okay to take a day off if you need to. We’ll be here waiting for your next post. Enjoy your family

There’s no if. He clearly has no shame.
he doesn’t notice in the rise of today’s fascism, this is our chance to stop a fascist
John McCain must be turning over in his grave
<sigh....> these are not the interesting times I'd hoped to be living in.
Hi Jeff, thanks for providing the lunacy report for the week.. Observing the congressional response upon the return to the crime scene by their lord and savior, all I can say is the level of loyalty and derangement is truly astounding… we’re talking levels exceeding the worship of Kim Jong Un… these idiots will do or say anything to protect their master, especially on his BDay… which reminds me…I haven’t seen any BDay greeting from Mel… I have to wonder..is she even in the country? Have a great weekend Jeff and fellow travelers.
The clips of his subjects receiving him were nauseating, no? The GOP willingness to debase themselves by fawning all over him is disgusting, embarrassing, and terrifying all at once.
She probably jetted off to Paris to see her handsome friend Macron.
Boy, it’s hard to pick which is the funniest. Sure, Lindsey praising Glorious Leader’s golf game evokes that time when Kim (daddy) got 18 holes-in-one and it made the news, of course, but the strip club being in Miami gets bonus points, and I’m reminded of that line in Caddyshack, “Cinderella kid, outta nowhere…”. Have a lovely weekend.
As if trump’s supposedly better golf playing would make him a better President…no, not, never.
He did get more than enough practice as “president”
Yeah, but ole Linz knows how to fluff him.
Like a proper rent boy.
And it's only mid-June. There's four and a half months of this to come. (By "this" I mean: rambling, nonsense, shark/battery monologues, idiocy about tariffs, undeniable evidence of dementia, and the entire GOP's desperate effort to ignore it, explain it away, justify it, and further embarrass themselves.)
And denigrate Biden
