I didn't start out with the intention of making this the drunkest This Week In Stupid ever, but I had to play the hand I was dealt

Miselle's avatar

Thank God your hand doesn't look like Trump's!

We need you.

Alison Parker's avatar

Never so glad to be a nondrinker than when I read about all these booze-soaked worm-guzzlers in the admin.

Stephanie Lajeskie's avatar

I’ve never been much of a drinker either, but if this shit goes on much longer, I’ll be checking myself into rehab by June.

Diana's avatar

Thank you for your post~ it went right to my funny bone! The other night I told my husband when this fiasco is over I’m gonna have a drink ( must be 10 years now without alcohol) before I finished talking it was up to 2 drinks! 🤭

celeste k.'s avatar

Same here, Diana!

SPW's avatar

I started to say, I’ve got more booze in the house now than I’ve ever had in my life. I’m ready for Armageddon now; not really but you get the point.

Linda Weide's avatar

I have a collection. A bottle of wine that we got for a potluck where people were coming over here. A case and a half of beer purchased for same potluck at our house, and which my husband has been working his way through slowly since then. Most of a bottle of cherry wine my friend made and gave me 2 years ago (very, very bitter), a bottle of dandelion wine my friend made and gave me a year ago, and a bottle of blackberry wine she just gave me. A bottle of wine a friend gave us when we moved into our house. It will get drunk, but I don't know when.

We bought this amazing set of 11ft long cabinets years ago which all attach to each other - all cream and glass/ultra modern, still workable today where I have some of my most precious geodes and collectibles. One section has folding doors with a mirrored backing inside and glass shelves perfect for a 'bar' with a slide-out shelf on which to mix. Down below is even more room for extra bottles. It's PACKED FULL of liquor bottles of all kinds - some going back MANY years, still sealed. Scotch, bourbon, gin, vodka, Schnapps, anything and everything which doesn't spoil. Courvoisier - (when I was on a wee bit of a kick with that for a while). We keep wine separate for friends who do stop by. Neither of us drink and now, with that room pretty much off limits with so much 'stuff' stored there and in the way, we don't access the bar with all of its goodies AND the measuring glasses/other accoutrements: stirrers going back to the old Playboy Club (hubby's younger days). We COULD throw a helluva party when the fuckwit finally kicks the bucket (IF we're still around for that momentously joyous occasion). I must remind my lovely neighbour to be sure to transfer all of the best bottles to her own bar in the event of my departure for any reason so she can raise a toast FOR me. :) I'm sure wherever I'll be I'll still have a huge smile on my face.

Linda Weide's avatar

Sounds like a good time!

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

That’s the attitude Stephanie!

Tonya Browning's avatar

I’ve never been much of a drinker, but I’m feeling the same only I have various health problems, so I thought I should just stick to not drinking in fear of adding more than I need because I currently have more than I ever needed!! My mental health can’t take much more of this though!!

Dana Jae Labrecque's avatar

I’ve always been a drinker and used to take several days off in a row. Since Jan 2025, I’ve tried, but hasn’t happened.

Linda Weide's avatar

I read that one should not drink more than 3 times a week, and at 70 one should not drink any more.

It's Happy Hour somewhere in the world!

At the Kremlin.

Paul Jonasse's avatar

These fuckers aren’t even close to happy, might be time for a brand change.

Linda Weide's avatar

Putin is happy, because thanks to his asset Trump he is making bank, and can continue to try to steal Ukraine. I think Ukraine, should help Trump to send some drones over to Russia, instead of to block the Iranian rockets. The sooner the US is defeated the sooner there will be missiles for Ukraine, unless Trump decides to give them to Russia. What if Trump were to decide to give all of our nukes to Putin. Do you think MAGA would go along with it?

Fran Fried's avatar

Which is what every transperson does. No, not the booze or the stupidity -- play the hand we were dealt. Mutilization? As Moe Howard would say, why, I oughta moitalize him. (Said for comic effect, of course, not as a call to violence.)

Karen Livolsi's avatar

DR Darke's avatar

If I still drank? The booze and the stupidity would absolutely be a part of the hand I was dealt...or dealt myself, or something.

It doesn't fix everything, but somebody should tell Pete Kegstand that sobriety is not only achievable, after you get over the hump it's a lot better than going through life drunk, belligerent, and stupid....

Maybe he's finally admit he's protesting his machismo too much if he were sober?

EDITED TO ADD: Oh, geez, it was TRUMP who said that? I.... Talk about attacking a problem that's none of his damned business.

Boy, do I hate an asshole who gives tosspots a bad name. Hey, I'm trying to drink in peace over here! Pirro won the blue ribbon though. She may not be drunk as she looks because she got an eyelift that makes her look cockeyed, but it was great listening to this rant on CNN radio--there was this whole part about deals with the devil that she had to make, if it helped save an abused child...and she was the first to help abused children! Unfortunately, her Shiraz box was empty and she stormed off before she could answer any questions about whether the devil looked like Jon Lovitz on SNL.

Linda Weide's avatar

Too many drunks. I think we should take the hint and send them cases of 100 proof alcohol.

Actually, in checking on this I am told the highest proof is a bit less. According to several sources, but here Red and White Shops,

From Hell to Your Glass:

The Top 12 Strongest Alcohol Drinks in the World

Spirytus Rektyfikowany (96% ABV) ...

Golden Grain (95% ABV) ...

Everclear (95% ABV) ...

Bruichladdich X4 Quadrupled Whisky (92% ABV) ...

Absinthe Hapsburg Hardcore (89.9% ABV) ...

Pincer Shanghai Strength (88.88% ABV) ...

Balkan 176 Vodka (88% ABV) ...

Sunset Rum (84.5% ABV)

I only listed 8, because the other 4 would have required me to open the link. Here it is:

https://redandwhiteshops.com/liquor-world/trends/strongest-alcohol-drink/

DR Darke's avatar

100 proof's easy—that's about half the bottles of Vodka out there!

I think you mean 200 proof, which is 100% alcohol, which doesn't stay 200 proof for long because it wants water and sucks it out of the air if it can't get it any other way.

Linda Weide's avatar

Does anyone sell 200 proof? Is that grain alcohol?

Stephanie Lajeskie's avatar

What Trump probably MEANT to say was that the war would be over when he felt it in his bone spurs.

I think right Stephanie. We underestimate his bone spurs biggly.

Just the other day a n exasperated man walked up to me and asked “What’s the frequency Kenneth?” I replied

“We’ll meet again,

Fastball Fredo's avatar

Good Morning Jeff… I wanted to relate what the experience was last evening to attend my synagogue outside of Phoenix. Double security at the front door, metal detectors then you are allowed in. Once inside I noticed a small number of congregants wearing bright lime vests, those are the go to people if an attack occurs they will lead congregants to a safe area within the synagogue. Mind you this congregation is made up of seniors, at 74 I’m among the youngest. Put simply, I have never been under such scrutiny, never seen law enforcement cruise through our parking lot so many times… yes there is a palpable fear and yet a resilient streak that says.. yes we are targeted but it’s no different than what our ancestors faced over millennia… Best to All.

Pat Ebervein's avatar

I am so sorry you are having to live this. It's unconscionable.

Leigh Hamilton's avatar

You beat me to it.

devourerofpancakes's avatar

In my very liberal town the local synagogue still has an officer out front during services. All the hate directed at innocent people saddens me.

Ole Anderson's avatar

Innocent is a relative term.

While in no way condoning any violence if Israel had not war crimed the Hell out of Gaza and killed a hundred thousand women and children then there would not be so much hate directed at Jews in general.

You do reap what you sow

SethTriggs's avatar

Jewish people are not = Israel! The people being attacked in synagogues have nothing to do with what Netanyahu's government is doing!

Abigail Norling's avatar

Just as American People are NOT=tRump!

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

Have you noticed our corporate-owned media quit covering the war protestors in Israel? As if to deny them doing what they can against the war monger in power, just like they downplay protests here. They contribute to the illusion of all of Israel being behind Bibi, and the far rights foul deeds. I feel for those stuck under a butcher, no one deserves that.

SethTriggs's avatar

Well the truth is a little inconvenient, and adding context and nuance does make it difficult to get those hate clicks.

KJM531's avatar
6hEdited

Innocent is a relative term?!?

Are you saying that a synagogue full of pre-schoolers DESERVE to be attacked due to the actions of the Israeli government? Just because they’re Jewish?

Wow, what will we Americans deserve based on the actions of our current government?!?

KJM531's avatar

I think Ole has stumbled into the wrong room on this platform. We have one purpose here and it’s definitely not antisemitism.

Ole Anderson's avatar

I think you are overly impressed with your own erroneous opinion, KJM

I said nothing antisemitic.

I merely pointed out a truthful fact- the actions of Netanyahoo and Israel are the principal cause of these synagogue attacks.

And you call me anti semitic. You are a little quick on the trigger finger with that slur.

Alison Parker's avatar

This is a disgusting comment. Would you say the same about other groups? Is it okay to bomb mosques and attack random Muslims because of Hamas? Or Russian people because of Putin? Antisemitism is not the fault of Jews, unless you are an antisemite, which you clearly are.

Joyce's avatar

And when the shoe drops and any assorted group of generic Americans gets attacked as revenge for what our drug-addled, alcoholic, ignorant government has wrought in the Middle East.

Ole Anderson's avatar

I didn’t say it was OK. I specifically said that it was not.

Your hate blinds you to the truth.

Alison Parker's avatar

You have some fucking nerve to say what you said and then accuse a Jewish person of being hateful. Quoting you: "Innocent is a relative term." Meaning what? That all Jews around the world lost any claim to innocence? You again: "You do reap what you sow." VERY CLEARLY STATING that anything being done to us anywhere in the world is our own fault collectively. And your mealymouth "While in no way condoning any violence" is platitudinous garbage when bracketed by your other statements. We aren't "innocent" and we're "reaping what we sowed" but oh, you certainly don't like violence!!!! Go play in traffic, you bigot POS.

Ole Anderson's avatar

It’s not OK to bomb anything.

You are getting hysterical now.

Alison Parker's avatar

YOU SAID IT WAS OKAY. You said Jews were reaping what we sowed when people attack our synagogues. FFS man, just put the white hood on already, you fucking asshole.

Fastball Fredo's avatar

Alison. This Ole rando will simply not accept responsibility for his own behaviour on this platform.. Simple as that.. as u can see through his condescending arrogance to every remark opposing his viewpoint.. He’s really rather simple. Thanks for speaking up on behalf of our community.

Joe Bacon's avatar

This Jew HATES and DETESTS every evil thing Bibi and Likud have done to the Palestinian people. And he absolutely opposes everything that they have done to Gazans.

arne link's avatar

Kushner, a jew, demanded beachfront property. Not all Jews are criminals but he is.

Alison Parker's avatar

What's your point? Why does it matter that he's Jewish?

Joyce's avatar

Exactly. I fail to see the connection, myself.

arne link's avatar

No disrespect to any Jewish friends.

arne link's avatar

Well, I thought that Magats hate jews but love Trump

Trump has a jew in his family who is running things. Do magnets know this?

Alison Parker's avatar

Speak your comment out loud and listen to your words. 'Trump has a Jew in his family who is running things". Are you TRYING to be as antisemitic as possible, or is it accidental? Antisemites on both the right and left always have a few "good Jews" they approve of to use as a shield against accusations of bigotry. Hell, Stephen fucking Miller is Jewish. The fact that there are some Jews in this admin is irrelevant to the current discussion, and the fact you keep harping on it tells us all we need to know about you and your mindset.

Ole Anderson's avatar

Well, the banshees are on your back now, Arne. Don’t bother using truth and logic with them - they are one theme ponies.

patti sepich's avatar

Blaming victims isn’t what’s needed.

Kathy H's avatar

Come on, man, that's like spitting on Vietnam Vets, attacking Muslims for Gaza, or blaming liberals for the violence being done now. We can't let our anger be misdirected to other than the real enemy. Practicing Jews are not responsible for the harm being done by the Israel State. That's a deliberate misdirection & we have to know better. The Jews, the coloreds, the gays, the women...are not the problem & we know it. Do you blame Christians for this for what's being done "in the name of God" in this country? Do you think they should all denounce their spiritual practice because it's being misrepresented by bad people in power? We're smarter than that.

patti sepich's avatar

Ole with that we are all to be blamed for what’s in our WH rn

Ole Anderson's avatar

I never said they should be blamed. I just pointed out a truthful fact: that Israel’s actions in Gaza are what is fueling the current spate of synagogue attacks, along with the historical animosity some hold for Jews.

I am not one of those and the shellacking I’ve received from these ignoramuses is quite amusing. All riled up for no good reason at all.

Fastball Fredo's avatar

I must say this Ole fellow is bereft of history.. Tell me why every empire has raged against their Jewish Community.. This Jew hatred is history, to allege it is on Israel demonstrates you lack of historical perspective. I stand by what I experienced last evening, I stand by my comments concerning the historical hate of the Jewish community…. In fact it all comes down to the fact that my community exists and people like yourself deny that we should exist… full stop… that’s reality.

Ole Anderson's avatar

And your limericks suck, Fastball. Puerile and juvenile, an insult to the form.

And now you are creating words to make up your witless rhymes.

Time to give it a rest

Fastball Fredo's avatar

You are sounding similar to the MAGAS I’m around… bring up evidence or facts or law and I’m told I have TDS… you are no different…

Ole Anderson's avatar

You are also quick with the over reaction, Fastball.

I am bereft of nothing; of course the historical hatred of Jews is also a cause of these anti semitic acts but Israel’s atrocious acts of criminality in Gaza are also st blame.

And what’s with the casual tossing around of the anti semite label?!?

I said nothing that an intelligent mind could possibly construe as anti semitic. Take that BS somewhere else, All of you.

Fastball Fredo's avatar

Thank you for your attention to this matter Ole.. “Quick with the overreaction” that’s pure gold there Sport.

Richard Von Busack's avatar

These guys may have not sown it, think of that?

Ole Anderson's avatar

No, not directly. But BiBi did it for them.

Joyce's avatar

Bibi did it for himself. He is desperate to stay out of prison. Nothing he is doing is, in even the slightest way, meant to be for the benefit of Israel or Jews: his goal is to consolidate power in order to be untouchable as an all-powerful dictator.

arne link's avatar

I feel certain that the Trump family have guaranteed him a fabulous penthouse after the reconstruction of Gaza

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

Bibi and his far right cabinet of war criminals who "won" by such a small margin. Just like trump.

Mwfeiger's avatar

My uncle by marriage, (his brother and my mother), was for 30 years rabbi of Temple Beth Israel in Phoenix, AZ, Rabbi Albert Plotkin. I'm relieved he is no longer alive to see this level of security and anti-semitism.

Mingo's avatar

My family used to attend Temple Beth Israel in the 60's. I remember Rabbi Plotkin. He was a very kind man.

Mwfeiger's avatar

He was kind and decent, as was his wife Sylvia. Sad that his wife and both his daughters, Janice and Debbie, were taken by breast cancer.

Richard Von Busack's avatar

It strikes me that this kind of tragedy is harder for a religious man who is serving The Eternal to the best of their abilities. I heard Job is the oldest part of the Bible, because the question "Why do the wicked prosper?" is such an old one.

Ben Zamir's avatar

Mwfeiger: I was born and raised in Phoenix, AZ and my family went to Temple Beth Israel. My Bar Mitzvah (Bat Mitzvah back then because I hadn't yet transitioned to male) was with Rabbi Plotkin. He was kind and helpful.

Mwfeiger's avatar

It is a small world. I'm confident Uncle Al would be welcoming before, or after, transition. He fully accepted my life's choice, when at 9 years old, I ditched Hebrew school for a year, then told my mother it just wasn't my 'bag'. So, unlike you, I did not have a Bat Mitzvah.

Michael Johnson's avatar

Many in my family attend the reformed synagogue in my town, and I'm concerned, worry about this rise in anti-semitism. #TheAgeOfMonsters

Wish I could crawl into a cave and hibernate until it's all over. At 68, just hope to live to see the day we return to sanity, but with the passing of each day, I doubt I'll still be on this mortal coil. These fuckers have already done so much damage to all our once trusted institutions & services, it will take decades, if not generations, to repair. Realistically, can only hope to at least see a start.

Have been seeing a lot of articles & posts saying tRump actually wants a Sleeper Cell to come to life, a terrorist act w/in our country, so he can declare Martial Law, suspend elections. The midterms are our only lifeline, the only hope to escape this madness. We must do all we can to ensure free & fair midterm elections. They could not be more obvious about their machinations to subvert & steal. It's our most important issue, IMHO.

Cyndi's avatar

Last month it was Bondi out front of the burning shithouse. This week it's Drunkle Pete Kegdeath.

Always on the sidelines is the rotten Trumpmouthing of Leavitt, and presiding over all is the rotting narcissist and his sordid, obscene (and documented) past.

His dwindling cult sees no wrong, even when they die. Which they will. Which they are.

The Republicans fighting the last war think that restricting voting to passport holders will somehow help them. Have they ever seen their electorate? They think these people crushed by the generations of corporate machinery so they live in unpainted houses and drive broken-down cars with expired plates have ever had a passport? Most of them can't afford to go to Branson, let alone Nassau.

If you're not a billionaire and you still support this grifting group of lying thugs, you're a fucking moron. You're buying your own fate and taking the world with you. Good job.

Happy Saturday

Thats the funny thing. Many of the Republican Voters are rural and working class and probably don't have passports. This may not work out like they think. Especially if they try to make it harder to vote. That tends to galvanize people.

J Hardy Carroll's avatar

I think if you're looking for historical analogies look no further than the lead up to the civil war where the anti-slavery party was all about getting back to the status quo. Even Lincoln was all about the status quo until the war started. he never believed in equality of the races and use the emancipation proclamation as an expedient for winning the war. our constitution is functioning exactly as designed and the idea is to keep the boot on the neck of a true democracy. That's how it was designed and that's how it functions now. we want to change it we need to undertake some very serious ideas. Don't be thinking about John Kennedy. think about John Brown

Bill Corbett's avatar

My wife and I went there several years ago, because her brother had tickets to a show and their friends backed out. On the way down we went by some big church, and it had a sign in front that said JESUS in giant letters probably 10' high. As we left Branson and we passed by the church on the way home, I looked at her and said, "JESUS" let's get the fuck out of here. Unfortunately, her brother passed away the following Christmas and yes, we've never been back and never will. MAGA paradise is not for us.

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

Yeah, those people are creepy, "jesusing" every other sentence.

Bill Corbett's avatar

It's a surreal place, that's for sure. Jess Piper talks a lot about the state of Missouri and Arkansas in her Substack post's. It is frightening at how backwards they are, look no further that the Huckabee's of Arkansas.

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

The thing I don’t understand is why wasn’t Mike Huckabee investigated for helping cover up the Duggar boy’s abuse of his sisters? He helped hide that fact, and just happened to know a State Trooper who “counseled him” (on how NOT to get caught) but both he and the trooper are in jail for molesting kids, or in Josh’s case having child sex abuse pics. Let me repeat he just happened to know a pedo to send Josh Duggar to for counseling. That is not normal.

Looks like most of the petroleum in the Strategic Oil Reserve is going on his hair.

God, yes--it gets deeper furrows by the day, it's so thickly greased. He also seems to have developed some skunk striping in there, which makes me query:

Has anyone ever seen him and Tulsi Gabbard in the same room together? I'm starting to have suspicions.

And his ham hooks. Makes it pretty challenging to do those lame pull-ups

Given the criminals he promotes, it would be more shocking if they weren't embezzling.

devourerofpancakes's avatar

Where are the headlines on that? I feel like it was met with a shrug. And yet there were so much hay over the $100 wrench or whatever that I still remember it.

Joyce's avatar

And the thing about the hysteria over the "overpriced" tools and such for the military.....I just saw an interview with an old warhorse of a general, who explained that a lot of those expenditures were genuine, as something as ordinary as, say, a fighter-jet bolt had to be custom designed and made to withstand high G-forces. The equipment wasn't the same stuff you buy in Lowe's!

In contrast, I highly doubt Kegseth's crab legs are specially designed for use in combat.

Right Susan. Boy, those republicans sure are good for the economy and they really know how to budget and save money—

Just look at how they cut out all that money that was being wasted on hungry children in the United States and starving and dying children in Africa and around the world. What horrible PR we were portraying. Saving all that money that was being wasted on children and all the “little people” so they could buy flying fuck jets for the puppy killer and multiple golfing trips on Fuck Force One for Mr Pumpkinhead and, let’s not forget Corporal McCrushnuts and his private makeup room; plus, let’s not forget all the frivolous lawsuits and indictments that cost millions and then there’s the deadly unnecessary money gobbling wars, and, yes, finally let’s not forget the king crabs and lobster for the republicans because those cute little fellers work so hard having to endure 20 vacations a year so they can avoid voting on things like the Epstein files.

I’m sorry. I digress. Actually pardon me while I throw up

Absolutely wild that Trump is mad at Maggie Haberman for being unfair to him when liberals have been mad at Maggie Haberman for years for giving him endless journamalism tonguebaths.

Will's avatar

Spot on. Maggie “Trump is Completely Normal” Haberman. PR in the guise of news reporting.

Frank Nuts's avatar

That’s the New York Times Will. What do you expect?

I never heard what she wrote about him. Must have been really really bad.

Mingo's avatar

Don the Con looks likes he's melting. It must be an embalmer doing his make-up now. Thanks to him it now costs me more money on wine to dull the panic and pain I feel at the destruction of our country and the services it provides to it's citizens. Now they're sending troops over to the Middle East. Yeah, that will all make us feel safe here at home. All that money spent on crab and lobster tails to buy loyalty from the military instead of spent on veterans suffering here at home from previous "excursions." This next batch of injured soldiers will find out the hard way how gutted the VA is now.

You’re right Mingo! I feel for our veterans. I am not one but I appreciate the service they’ve given our country in an occupation that’s dangerous even in peacetime.

I have never understood how republicans can furiously wave the flag and send our citizens off to war to get killed and maimed and then totally forget about them and basically shit on them after they’re out of the service.

We thought this “use and abuse”thing arrived with trump.

Nope—republicans have been doing it for decades. They’ve honed it to a fine skill. The republicans are chicken shit—they hide in the closet and do it (so that makes it ok I guess in their thinking—just don’t say it out loud).

Drumpf does it to your face and republicans (with a nervous chuckle) go “well, I guess we can come out of the closet now (except you Lindsey) and be who we really are— (do we really need to spell it out) which are misogynistic, homophobic, racist, fear mongering, war mongering, self serving, self righteous, arrogant pricks.

Now they can and are doing it in the open because drumpf made it ok.

At least now we see them for who they really are.

Yup. Post and project that image he hates everywhere. It will get all “Twilight Zoney” and drive him mad. Include the bottle.

Whoa, is that Marsha Blackburn in the screenshot with Larry Kudlow? Looks like somebody finally showed her how to comb her hair. She generally looks like she just rolled out of bed five minutes before showing up on the Senate floor.

T L Mills's avatar

Wasn't it Kudlow who used to have a serious drug habit? I never could figure out how he got a such a "good" rep as an economic trend predictor. I never found his economic "predictions" to be very accurate. Now he's too insulated from the economics of the average US household to grasp how far off his pronouncements have become. What in the world is Fox paying him for, anyway?

Liz and Max the No. 1 Cat's avatar

What is Fox News paying him for? To tell them what they want to hear.

Sharon Hudnall's avatar

I'm old enough to remember PBS' Wall Street Week with Louis Rukeyser. Yes, he leaned conservative but what class! Haven't seen that level of grace and erudition in the media in over 20 years.

Fox Not News must think Lowkud is entertaining. Personally I don’t see it; but maybe chewing kud and speaking at the same time has a market

It may be my drunkest week as well. How to survive the idiocy?

Miselle's avatar

The extent of my drinking for the last decade has been sharing a bottle of wine with the spouse over Sunday night dinner. Midweek, some personal issues which should have been minor were exacerbated by my dismay over our beautiful country being destroyed by one--ONE!!--pathological narcissist!

I had to open a bottle.

Mary Greenwald's avatar

The cadre behind the Evil One is doing the destruction. Democrats who approved Trump's Cabinet, the Supreme Court that rubberstamps in advance any Trump action and the voters who will vote for a Republican Congress to continue Trump's madness.

Frank Nuts's avatar

You are forgiven Miselle…actually I’ll join you and your husband in a drink. We will toast to a better day—hopefully not too far in the future
