Jeff I gotta tell you I’m simply baffled how the former Honduran president, drug trafficker, used his military to smuggle more than 400 kilos of cocaine obtained a pardon after a jury convicted him.. of course one could say that Blondi Bondi’s brother, also an attorney, received money from this convicts family, passed it to Bondi who recommended a pardon.. and of course Donald gets a piece of the action.. OG mobsters call it “dipping your beak”.. I call it a series of corruption. Best to All
As I have said repeatedly, Trump sees the presidency as the opportunity to rob We the People blind and to grift any way he can. He is really good at both! Did you want to renovate a Qatari Boeing plane to the tune of 1 bil? How about funding ICE to the tune of 28.7 bil. And, there is so much more.
I can remember from long before dopey don was a serious candidate him saying “I would like to be president bcs that’s where the big money is” . Should have been his campaign slogan.
the fucking idiot's magat cultists would have said: 'oh, he's just joking again...what a funny guy he is'! To this day they imagine he's 'funny' and making jokes...the LEAST imaginative, most humourless being on the face of our Planet. It boggles the mind how so many could be so conned.
Remember when the GOP's and the media's hair was on fire because an event at a Buddhist Temple attended by Al Gore turned out to be an illegal political fundraiser although Gore claimed he didn't know it was a fundraising event and was eventually cleared of liability. The GOP used this again him for years despite the fact that a. no money went to Gore personally and b. the amount raised was $140,000 i.e. pocket change to Trump. Another thing I will never not be angry about.
I STILL believe that 90% of what is purported to be written by 'him' is actually written by goebbels/miller/nosferatu AND left for him to merely put his name to. The utter BALLS of imagining that HE can remove all of a previous President's issuances/decisions is so beyond sanity, to me screams of miller's ideas pumped into the fucking idiot's big orange pumpkin head. Is it being done NOW deliberately to make him look even worse so that vance looks 'better' by comparions (then again, who wouldn't)? Who the fuck knows because miller hitched himself to that deadbeat old wagon ages ago and thought he could ride it right to the top of the food chain BUT might now be waking up to the fact that the old fucker IS on his last legs so he needs to make alternative arrangements. We SHOULD all know why he dares call Tim Walz the 'r' word: because he was chosen by Kamala as her VP. Of course he ALSO hates him for his heart, empathy and compassion - especially since he has a son who absolutely ADORES his Dad and showed it so openly, something frump has never experienced because HE, like his pater - is a rotten and cowardly bully.
He is barely cognitve. I hear Stephen Miller The Nazi telling him what a good idea is and then making sure he puts all this hate and anger out in the world. Trump has lived in an alternate reality most of his life. He needed to be the center of attention according to Mary Trump.He was a spoiled jerk who no matter how he tried to fit in, he never did so he used money to buy what he thought were friends and when you cross him he goes nuts. He needs to kill anyone and everyone who ever said anything negative about him…..he is so sick and its time the Repubasslickns start to break from this madman.
Yup! We might be stopping him. Hello, Jimmy Kimmel! A lot of immigrants are still in the US thanks to people standing up to ICE and fighting the regime. But, Trump is not giving up on this odious part of his regime because he is training his force of Brown shirts to go after the people as he grows more and more ruthless in his demented rantings and actions.
There IS some hope. Earlier I watched a 13min. long Instagram video posted by someone else of Ezra Klein(?) explaining HOW and WHY we were all so overwhelmed at the beginning of this 2nd (shitshow) term of his. VERY interesting and revealing in that it shows Bannon explaining exactly how they'd overwhelm the media with SO MUCH 'stuff' they wouldn't be able to focus on one thing. He called them lazy and stupid (of course he did). They would use 'muzzle velocity' (his words). This was 'the plan'. AND in fact that barrage of executive orders was designed to overwhelm US as well. He also said (this was a 42week ago post, btw) that frump didn't want to be president, he wanted to be King. Most of us know or knew THAT so it's nice to have it averred, but so much more of what he told us NOT to panic about hit home - at least with me. That while his pardon powers ARE extensive, he still has to obey the Constitution and so far he and his aides had been stymied and stopped by Courts. He spoke out to help those of us to be able to BREATHE and not panic - or feel overwhelmed - very good too. I only wished it was updated. Perhaps he did do an update but my cell's being charged so I didn't check. Above all, his mantra throughout was 'Don't Believe Him' (frump).
BTW Doc.. I understand that Steve Witkoff’s son is the head of Liberty Bit Coins… that’s the same outfit that the Trumps use for their con on the red hat rubes and a secret conduit for folks to buy access to Donald…
trump, his boobs (Jr. and Eric, not Melania's kidneys), and assorted minions prove that greed conquers all. He is viciously racist re: China about COVID but happily pardons CZ because $$$. He is an anti-Muslim bigot with his travel ban but happily cavorts with the Saudis and MBS because of $$$. He kills supposed Latin American drug dealers on small boats but happily pardons Hernandez because of $$$. WItkoff, his son, and the shitbag Drumpf brothers are raking it in with their World Liberty Financial scam, an open quid pro quo if there ever was one. Such breathtaking venality and avarice "like no one has ever seen!"
JESUS CHRIST! If all that is true...and I'm sure there's every chance it is...WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE WHOSE JOB IT IS TO SHUT DOWN A PRESIDENT WHO'S POCKETING $$$ FOR BEING A PRESIDENT? I guess this fucking weasel made sure to install his cronies at every level so he'd never get pinched. I hope he burns.
Exactly this: he appointed Blondi Bondi to cover his corpulent azz and Krazy Eyes Kash Patel to cover whatever was left over. THEY are both raking it in as well. Why on earth would either take those 'jobs'? Do you know how much Krusty (as Jeff calls her) Noem has been raking in as she buys all those different outfits and cosplays being a cowgirl in mini-movies she has filmed to please orange daddy? Between his 'cabinet members' including drunk-petey, they're costing We the People BILLIONS in taxpayer funds, but - no, let's NOT feed hungry kids. THEY should starve so frump can stuff his pockets with our gold reserves.
nope - they wouldn't believe a 'character' like frump. UNBELIEVABLE that there could be anyone or anyTHING like that. They'd tell the author to do a rewrite with a little less 'fantasy'.
When is the media going to point out that this gives zero legitimacy to Trump claiming to be targeting immigrants because of their alleged membership in drug cartels, with most of these claims turning out to be false? I'm still seething about that raid in Chicago with the Blackhawk helicopter and 300 federal agents and kids pulled from their beds in the middle of the night, zipped and thrown in trucks ONE BLOCK FROM THE CORNER WHERE MY SISTER AND I HUNG OUT AS KIDS. I will never not be angry about this. After terrorizing almost 150 people claiming a Venezuelan drug cartel was operating in the building, they detained TWO people and one has been released already. And gave those kids a lifetime of trauma. I dream of seeing Trump led to prison in handcuffs.
There is no need for Presidents to “pardon” ANYONE AT ANYTIME” … get this out of the Constitution- it’s being abused by all the Presidents, egregiously by this prick; and he’s making a mockery of our justice system.
Thanks for these background details, Fastball. I had been wondering what money changed hands in this affair for the drug trafficker to be pardoned. There is ALWAYS and exchange of money involved.
AND Daddy - during his Studio 54 days none of those fuckers thought 'cocaine' was anything worse than having another drink. I remember he even tossed off some casual comment about it to Howard once. I would SO LOVE someone to find out more about how HE did cocaine. I believe it was mentioned on the apprentice as well? Ergo his need for a Mr. Wet Wipes because he was so incoherent and incontinent.
Jeff, I’ve been feeling down and tired and physically weak. I finally finished reading yesterday’s post today. You jump started me and got my motor running. Thank you!
Methinks MOST of us feel similarly, and get the same 'jumpstart' reading Jeff, I keep saying he's saving my sanity - BUT he's also saving my physical health as well by helping give me that 'get up and go'. THAT is a public service.
Because we're in the upside down, fishermen get offed with no due process while convicted drug lords are pardoned. This is the drunken logic of our Secretary of WarCrimes. MTG is saving her own skin but I will give her points for the righteous screed. Wake me when she does something that benefits other people.
Excuse me…since Biden WAS the president when he used the autopen, don’t you think he gave himself permission? Frankly, I think Biden was more together at the end than this clown was at the beginning.
let's imagine that Joe Biden really was a drooling idiot and had no idea which end was up. he still did an awesome job of presidenting, especially when compared to Captain Clownpants
And Biden surrounded himself with qualified, competent people, who were able to run their departments, rather than a bunch of moronic sycophants, literally trying to dismantle the entire county. So even if Biden had been in a fucking coma, we wouldn’t be in this mess.
The CHIPS Act and Inflation Reduction Act were among the most important pieces of legislation in years. Even rethuglicans supported them. What has Shitler done except enrich himself and cause death and destruction?
AND when there are TWO FUCKING SURVIVORS CLINGING TO an OVERTURNED BOAT, SEND YET ANOTHER MISSILE TO BLOW THEM TO SMITHEREENS - because: 'amurikkka', I'm SO sick and disgusted by finding out that last act of absolute war crimes I swear I WOULD smack the shit out of 'petey' AND the vile old orange pumpkin head and take the consequences. It would be fucking worth it!
Because he has no fucking IDEA He even said so the last time he pulled out an actual written LIST! (I kid you not). Showed it to the reporters and then said: 'they tell me I ended these wars' - this is all in his claim that he 'deserves' the 'NOBLE" peace prize (the morons around him still don't seem to know they spelled it wrong because HE fancies himself as 'royalty'. Thinks he can just join up to the royal family and become one of them.
And the amount illegal money from influence peddling and insider trading that Trump's spawn has collected should be front page news. Does anyone know what MAGA voters would say to make that okay?
'what money'? You have no idea what you're talking about your (fill in the blank) 'liberal, commie, socialist, lying, un-american Hater' blah blah blah. They have NO IDEA that his spawn AND his 'cabinet' are robbing the entire Country blind. MY fervent wish is that they put it all into crypto/bit coin and it ALL tanks as I believe it will, leaving them all flat broke.
The PACT Act too. That man put his head down the first day he got into that office and worked his azz off, unlike this pretender. For THAT he was derided and insulted, despite being in very good physical condition (bike riding every day with his wife and other aides). frump can barely walk, yet had that temerity to insult Joe Biden daily. See, that's how he gets his magats to believe his lies: repeat them ad nauseam. And of course they're too stupid to ever do their own research or find out IF their then current President was actually working or not.
As I pointed out to my friends who were all worried after seeing his first debate. Gladly I did not see it and used my other senses to figure out whose side I was on.
Don't forget that Biden on a bad day would use The Cone of Silence. It was in a closet in the East Wing when it was destroyed along with several hair pieces.
AND he clearly wasn't (despite all the suppositioning) because, he gave a great speech not long after Kamala had been given the go-ahead to run and was already well into her 100 days. I believe he ALSO gave a great speech after his presidency ended, didn't he? This, at the very same time the orange pumpkin head was telling everyone that Joe Biden was in a coma or even 'dead'. I do so love how Karma comes around, y'know? Frump is sitting at a table at his flea-bitten motel with his mouth hanging open - just like residents in an old folks' nursing home (no insult to them) but the photo is real, not AI - and ANYONE can see he's missing most of whatever marbles he might once have had.
Again with the stupid Autopen horseshit. His projection is working overtime with this idiocy, as I’m pretty sure Donny didn’t personally sign off on, for example, all 1,600 pardons of Jan6 insurrectionists.
Even if he blindly used autopen, the supreme court gives president's immunity to any wrong doing in the course of their duties, thanks to orangey. 🤷♀️
YET, Joe Biden suddenly had NO ability to have used ANY of his Presidential capabilities, only the big orange pumpkin head is 'allowed'? These magats seriously have ZERO critical thinking skills. It doesn't dawn on them for half a second that IF 'fat donny from Queens' (gawd do I love that)! can do anything he wants, SO COULD Joseph R. Biden!
Terri, because we all know Biden gave permission for use of the autopen, which is more than Trump is doing with all those EO he has signed, Trump added in that he will charge Biden for perjury if he tells us he did give permission. He is trying to find a reason to have his DOJ investigate Biden now. All to distract from impending Epstein Files, and his Ukraine shennanigans where Trump will recognize Ukrainian land as being Russia.
Linda— I highly doubt that the Ukrainians will agree to any of the conditions that the Russians are setting for “their” peace plan. All of this Fuckery by Trump is for naught!
This is no-win situation for Zelensky. If he doesn’t agree, he loses the financial and “moral” support of the USA and the world waits for Trump to overtly support Putin’s quest to invade Ukraine.
I say reporters gotta start asking how he managed to sign 1600 pardons for traitors on Day 1 -- a day he didn't even take office until noon, with a ceremony in there (though not a parade, because no one would show up) -- without using an Autopen.
And let's start comparing his signature on documents and start asking him what's in the documents he's been signing. He sure as fuck doesn't know. Just like he doesn't know why he pardons who he pardons. His mind has gone fuckity-bye.
Reporters ask nothing. Right now he has probably amassed enough women reporters that he has said offensive things to, for them to file a class action suit against him for harassment.
It would be fucking BRILLIANT if - in one voice - ALL the women he tried to demean spoke up and asked exactly that! ' How did YOU manage to sign all of those 1600 pardons for the Jan 6th traitor/insurrectionists on Day 1 when you were 1)being sworn in NOT on the bible Mrs. frump was holding? WHEN he starts telling them to 'shut up, you stupid ugly women', at least ONE should keep going in an even louder voice: WE'VE been comparing your signature on those 'documents you SAY you signed and they don't look the same'. What's your response to THAT?' I'd PAY to hear this - AND we could start a go-fund me for those women reporters who did this.
I know I can't believe there isnt a news reporter strike against lying for Trump unless the media new oligharch owners are just waiting to fire real reporters and use AI programed to print out Trump propaganda.
Absolutely. If they can walk out on the drunk moron at the DoD because they refuse to surrender their 1st Amendment rights, I don’t understand why they don’t stand up for ethics and morals and ignore the want to be king in the White House.
It was already noted that some of his signatures on pardons were identical. The Justice Department removed them and replaced them with no never sign your name absolutely identically multiple times.
he doesn't 'make fun' - he lashes out in RAGE because he HATES WOMEN, most especially if they're brown or black. He just lost his case against Letitia James who WON her case against him in NY, getting him convicted THIRTY-FOUR FUCKING TIMES - so he was HOT to find 'something' to imprison her for - and now the judge just threw out that fucked-up, coked-up case along with Comey's. So he's in yet another of his patented rages.
My Haudenosaunee ancestors (Iroquois) are part of the native confederacy that helped shape the very democracy this country claims to love and defend.
Seeing DHS tweet ‘no room for invaders’ on Thanksgiving — a holiday created by Indigenous generosity — tells you exactly how far this regime is willing to go to rewrite American identity.
Don’t get me wrong. I love that Michael Bohacek is breaking ranks with the Republicans who want to engage in the gerrymandering of his state. But I have to ask myself, if he DIDN’T have a child with Down Syndrome, would he have been so offended by the “R” word? Nobody on the right ever gives a shit about the rhetoric coming from their side until it hits home. If only Trump’s cruelty bothered them when it was directed toward OTHER PEOPLE, we wouldn’t be living in this fucking hellscape.
I worked with special needs kids for 15 years anc it was referred to as Down’s syndrome back then. But you’re right. It’s now just called Down syndrome. I edited my comment.
Stephanie, I am sure you are right, at least he is living it and is correct about it so I am heartened by his words. Just him because other than Mal formed Sporky I can’t think of any other examples it’s way too compassionate to fit in with MAGA.
I thought the same, but as humans so often we only learn to accept something or understand something when it happens to us or our loved ones. Sometimes empathy is a learned or acquired ability - my respect to those who got it innately.
As a mother of Down Syndrome Adult daughter I am offended when anyone uses the word regarded regarding anyone (child, adult)! It is like using the N…… word! Very offensive and degrading! Good for someone calling out Brain-free Dumb Trump for using that word! And I had no idea she had Down Syndrome! Does that make me
NO! The fact that you ARE so deeply offended AND compare it to the horrid 'N' word makes it clear YOU are one of us and clearly not one of them. I'd bet you were equally offended before your daughter was born - correct? THAT is the difference - and the point the OP was making, I believe. That this specific person only seemed to 'get it' once it came home to him.
Sadly - it's now becoming in FULL usage by magats on instagram AS an insult to any deemed democrat, liberal anti-trump person. They use the awful 'r' word with glee. It's so beyond my ken.
I'm torn on this one. NOW that he has a child with Down Syndrome - he's been through it - BUT do we know for sure if he was a rotter beforehand? I'd like to know before judging this guy. Anyone know his voting record about children and mother's rights to fucking EAT before his child was born? That could be a good indicator?
I’m not sure. But he’s using the fact that he was offended when Trump said “retarded” (because he has a child with Down Syndrome) as the reason for voting against gerrymandering. Which makes me think he would have been fine with it until then. I could be wrong. Maybe he was looking for an excuse to vote no, and Trump gave him one. It’s sad that I don’t trust any of them anymore.
1. Homeland Security sure as hell doesn’t make me feel secure. The invaders are those in Trump’s government.
2. I held my nose and took a dive into Trump’s batshit post. I came out feeling slimy, covered in ooze, and convinced more than ever his brain has gone completely to the point of no return.
3. I told you Marge’s transformation isn’t complete and probably never will be
4. I’m going to purchase bunny slippers for my next flight which probably won’t come until sometime in 2029 after Duffy loses his job.
Nancy Cordes was born and raised in my state. Her parents are both MDs. She was always a top student and is obviously brilliant. Of course Preznit Piggy defaults to his knee jerk insult when asked something legitimate that he doesn't like. Fucking loser. Cordes's IQ is easily double or maybe triple his.
Of COURSE it would have to be. One could see by the expression on her face what she REALLY wanted to say and she might just have won Jeff's Lifetime Pulitzer.
And I used to think watching Bart’s crank call to Moe asking for “Amanda Huggenkiss” was about as MadLibs as we were likely to encounter in everyday life.
Dementia Donnie's fantasy life has overtaken any semblance of reality. The Constitution requires that certain documents, like pardons and laws, have to be signed by the president; it doesn't specify how. A prototype of today's autopen was first used by Thomas Jefferson, and do we even have to point out that Dirty Don has used it, too? Also, the president's pardon power is plenary; it can't be undone by some fucking idiot no matter how loud the voices in his head are screaming. Also, SecDrunk Kegstand is going to end his life in The Hague, along with every service member who didn't follow the advice of the NatSec Dems and refuse to carry out the illegal order to commit murder.
All he said was "serve out your term", and she decided to rant about her own husband who does not do enough. She is rich enough to hire a maid. Might help her blood pressure to get some "help".
Just another week in 'murica. The daily shitshow continues. I'm thankful that there are people like Jeff Tiedrich to tell us the truth and make us laugh at the absurdity of what's happening to our country. Thank you Jeff.🇺🇸
I read today that stress causes people to lose hair, I was as sicker than ever in my life when dopey took office and somehow I pulled out of it mostly. But my hair thinned noticeably and it’s not in my family. Stress kills, don’t let it Jeff is our guardian angel…well that is pushing it but you all know what I’m saying.
I DO know what you’re saying … and it’s all about perspective, I think. Jeff is successful because he identifies the absurdity of this regime, how off the charts nuts they are… normal people dont act like this. And everytime I read what he writes, and the comments after, I do feel better. We’re all gathered here because we appreciate and need to hear this rational and humorous view. 💙💙💙
Jeff I gotta tell you I’m simply baffled how the former Honduran president, drug trafficker, used his military to smuggle more than 400 kilos of cocaine obtained a pardon after a jury convicted him.. of course one could say that Blondi Bondi’s brother, also an attorney, received money from this convicts family, passed it to Bondi who recommended a pardon.. and of course Donald gets a piece of the action.. OG mobsters call it “dipping your beak”.. I call it a series of corruption. Best to All
He came up with $2mil for a pardon
As I have said repeatedly, Trump sees the presidency as the opportunity to rob We the People blind and to grift any way he can. He is really good at both! Did you want to renovate a Qatari Boeing plane to the tune of 1 bil? How about funding ICE to the tune of 28.7 bil. And, there is so much more.
I can remember from long before dopey don was a serious candidate him saying “I would like to be president bcs that’s where the big money is” . Should have been his campaign slogan.

It is clearly his mantra.
Remember when the GOP's and the media's hair was on fire because an event at a Buddhist Temple attended by Al Gore turned out to be an illegal political fundraiser although Gore claimed he didn't know it was a fundraising event and was eventually cleared of liability. The GOP used this again him for years despite the fact that a. no money went to Gore personally and b. the amount raised was $140,000 i.e. pocket change to Trump. Another thing I will never not be angry about.
Will the ‘opposition party’ ever find its footing and CLAP BACK? Or no
He is doing whatever the fuck he wants, and nobody is stopping him!
I STILL believe that 90% of what is purported to be written by 'him' is actually written by goebbels/miller/nosferatu AND left for him to merely put his name to. The utter BALLS of imagining that HE can remove all of a previous President's issuances/decisions is so beyond sanity, to me screams of miller's ideas pumped into the fucking idiot's big orange pumpkin head. Is it being done NOW deliberately to make him look even worse so that vance looks 'better' by comparions (then again, who wouldn't)? Who the fuck knows because miller hitched himself to that deadbeat old wagon ages ago and thought he could ride it right to the top of the food chain BUT might now be waking up to the fact that the old fucker IS on his last legs so he needs to make alternative arrangements.

I think Rump's useful idiocy always contained a planned obsolescence clause. At this point, Miller is just judging the optimal time to jump.
There's no perjury unless there are false statements sworn to in court or otherwise under oath.
Even if Biden uttered some false stuff, that's not perjury unless it was under oath.
Unlike say, the Orange Canklesaurus who likes every time he draws breath.
I'm put in mind of Mary McCarthy's statement about Lillian Hellman. "Every word she writes is a lie, even the 'a' and the 'the'.
Yeah, but I still love her writing (Hellman's). Unlike Trump's....
I'd go 95%.
Yup! We might be stopping him. Hello, Jimmy Kimmel! A lot of immigrants are still in the US thanks to people standing up to ICE and fighting the regime. But, Trump is not giving up on this odious part of his regime because he is training his force of Brown shirts to go after the people as he grows more and more ruthless in his demented rantings and actions.

He musta had a Preznit Piggy Pardon coupon because CZ (of Binance infamy) "paid" $2 billion.
BTW Doc.. I understand that Steve Witkoff’s son is the head of Liberty Bit Coins… that’s the same outfit that the Trumps use for their con on the red hat rubes and a secret conduit for folks to buy access to Donald…

Certainly not because there has never been as large a Fool in charge such as You, two scoops!
Yo, that's "Fat Donny Two-Scoops from Queens."
And it doesn’t bother ANY of the congresscritters?…
Everything he does now carries that "Nobody has ever seen" tag now
Grifting amongst grifter….perfect together!

I guess this fucking weasel made sure to install his cronies at every level so he'd never get pinched. I hope he burns.
It’s all true
Exactly this: he appointed Blondi Bondi to cover his corpulent azz and Krazy Eyes Kash Patel to cover whatever was left over. THEY are both raking it in as well.

THEY should starve so frump can stuff his pockets with our gold reserves.
If this was written as fiction, no publisher would take it as it doesn’t pass the believability test.
You CANNOT make this shit up.
nope - they wouldn't believe a 'character' like frump. UNBELIEVABLE that there could be anyone or anyTHING like that. They'd tell the author to do a rewrite with a little less 'fantasy'.
I'm thinking this may have something to do with Jr.'s drug of choice and where he gets it from?
👍👍
When is the media going to point out that this gives zero legitimacy to Trump claiming to be targeting immigrants because of their alleged membership in drug cartels, with most of these claims turning out to be false?

I like him dead
I'd like to see him suffer some public humiliation first.
An early, easy death seems far too kind…. ooops, did I post that out loud???
Where's Vlad Tepes when we need him?
👍👍
Every morning when I wake up, the first question I ask is, “Is he dead yet?”
WTAF?!?!
Indeed.
There is no need for Presidents to “pardon” ANYONE AT ANYTIME” … get this out of the Constitution- it’s being abused by all the Presidents, egregiously by this prick; and he’s making a mockery of our justice system.
What justice system? There is nobody home, and he does as he pleases.
Disgusting!! All around!
Thanks for these background details, Fastball. I had been wondering what money changed hands in this affair for the drug trafficker to be pardoned. There is ALWAYS and exchange of money involved.
I prefer "Bimbo Bondi" if you don't mind.
The corruption is breathtaking.
Hmmm🤔…I dunno Honduras🤷♀️
Now you got that right…400 tons of coke, I would think Jr. got ahold of some of that…
Wouldn’t doubt that for even a nanosecond
AND Daddy - during his Studio 54 days none of those fuckers thought 'cocaine' was anything worse than having another drink. I remember he even tossed off some casual comment about it to Howard once. I would SO LOVE someone to find out more about how HE did cocaine. I believe it was mentioned on the apprentice as well? Ergo his need for a Mr. Wet Wipes because he was so incoherent and incontinent.
Yup.
Jeff, I’ve been feeling down and tired and physically weak. I finally finished reading yesterday’s post today. You jump started me and got my motor running. Thank you!
Methinks MOST of us feel similarly, and get the same 'jumpstart' reading Jeff, I keep saying he's saving my sanity - BUT he's also saving my physical health as well by helping give me that 'get up and go'. THAT is a public service.
Because we're in the upside down, fishermen get offed with no due process while convicted drug lords are pardoned. This is the drunken logic of our Secretary of WarCrimes. MTG is saving her own skin but I will give her points for the righteous screed. Wake me when she does something that benefits other people.
Ann, you thought it was almost 2026, but instead we are back in "1984." Our lives have become a dystopian nightmare.
"Wake me when she does something that benefits other people." Yes! But it's gotta be someone other than Marge and her family.
You will be asleep for a loooong time!
Is it okay to call you Rip Van Winkle? Asking for a friend who’s concerned for the long 💤 you’ve got on store for you
Unbefuckinglievable. Did I get off at the wrong station? Stop the train.
She's going to cash in, be a media personality.
I agree. I thinks she's a lunatic, but I appreciate the guts it takes to go against Trump and his flying monkeys.
Calculated risk. She's playing the odds in terms of 1) Rump's serious ailments; and 2) his tanking popularity numbers.
She's a jackle so she can probaly smell a weak or bleeding animal, and at the moment that seems to be Trump.
Exactly.
Excuse me…since Biden WAS the president when he used the autopen, don’t you think he gave himself permission? Frankly, I think Biden was more together at the end than this clown was at the beginning.
let's imagine that Joe Biden really was a drooling idiot and had no idea which end was up. he still did an awesome job of presidenting, especially when compared to Captain Clownpants
And Biden surrounded himself with qualified, competent people, who were able to run their departments, rather than a bunch of moronic sycophants, literally trying to dismantle the entire county. So even if Biden had been in a fucking coma, we wouldn’t be in this mess.
You bet! I miss Pete B. Transportation was in good hands then!
I always said that I would have voted for Joe Biden’s head in a vat of blue oxigenated liquid before trump. Nothing has changed for me.
Hell, I would have voted for a warm bucket of spit before the bloated maroon we have now.
Same!
The CHIPS Act and Inflation Reduction Act were among the most important pieces of legislation in years. Even rethuglicans supported them. What has Shitler done except enrich himself and cause death and destruction?
PROMISE EVERYTHING
DO NOTHING
BLAME SOMEONE ELSE
you forgot
BLOW SHIT UP WHENEVER POSSIBLE
and BULLDOZE it if not possible!
AND when there are TWO FUCKING SURVIVORS CLINGING TO an OVERTURNED BOAT, SEND YET ANOTHER MISSILE TO BLOW THEM TO SMITHEREENS - because: 'amurikkka', I'm SO sick and disgusted by finding out that last act of absolute war crimes I swear I WOULD smack the shit out of 'petey' AND the vile old orange pumpkin head and take the consequences. It would be fucking worth it!
Remember, Fuckwit “solved,” like, 3000 wars? He’s a freakin’ stable genius at war solving.
I think he only claimed to have resolved eight wars, but he never lists which wars he resolved.
Because he has no fucking IDEA He even said so the last time he pulled out an actual written LIST! (I kid you not). Showed it to the reporters and then said: 'they tell me I ended these wars' - this is all in his claim that he 'deserves' the 'NOBLE" peace prize (the morons around him still don't seem to know they spelled it wrong because HE fancies himself as 'royalty'. Thinks he can just join up to the royal family and become one of them.
And the amount illegal money from influence peddling and insider trading that Trump's spawn has collected should be front page news. Does anyone know what MAGA voters would say to make that okay?
'what money'? You have no idea what you're talking about your (fill in the blank) 'liberal, commie, socialist, lying, un-american Hater' blah blah blah. They have NO IDEA that his spawn AND his 'cabinet' are robbing the entire Country blind. MY fervent wish is that they put it all into crypto/bit coin and it ALL tanks as I believe it will, leaving them all flat broke.
Zip, Zilch, Nada 👎, Doc.
The PACT Act too. That man put his head down the first day he got into that office and worked his azz off, unlike this pretender. For THAT he was derided and insulted, despite being in very good physical condition (bike riding every day with his wife and other aides). frump can barely walk, yet had that temerity to insult Joe Biden daily. See, that's how he gets his magats to believe his lies: repeat them ad nauseam. And of course they're too stupid to ever do their own research or find out IF their then current President was actually working or not.
I know! It helps if you have scheming oligarchs and a compliant news media. We knew there had to be a reason for Bezos buying the Washington Post.
As I pointed out to my friends who were all worried after seeing his first debate. Gladly I did not see it and used my other senses to figure out whose side I was on.
Don't forget that Biden on a bad day would use The Cone of Silence. It was in a closet in the East Wing when it was destroyed along with several hair pieces.
Ain't that the truth!
AND he clearly wasn't (despite all the suppositioning) because, he gave a great speech not long after Kamala had been given the go-ahead to run and was already well into her 100 days. I believe he ALSO gave a great speech after his presidency ended, didn't he? This, at the very same time the orange pumpkin head was telling everyone that Joe Biden was in a coma or even 'dead'. I do so love how Karma comes around, y'know? Frump is sitting at a table at his flea-bitten motel with his mouth hanging open - just like residents in an old folks' nursing home (no insult to them) but the photo is real, not AI - and ANYONE can see he's missing most of whatever marbles he might once have had.
Again with the stupid Autopen horseshit. His projection is working overtime with this idiocy, as I’m pretty sure Donny didn’t personally sign off on, for example, all 1,600 pardons of Jan6 insurrectionists.
HE used the auto pen for those immoral pardons, the traitor
Even if he blindly used autopen, the supreme court gives president's immunity to any wrong doing in the course of their duties, thanks to orangey. 🤷♀️
YET, Joe Biden suddenly had NO ability to have used ANY of his Presidential capabilities, only the big orange pumpkin head is 'allowed'? These magats seriously have ZERO critical thinking skills. It doesn't dawn on them for half a second that IF 'fat donny from Queens' (gawd do I love that)! can do anything he wants, SO COULD Joseph R. Biden!
Terri, because we all know Biden gave permission for use of the autopen, which is more than Trump is doing with all those EO he has signed, Trump added in that he will charge Biden for perjury if he tells us he did give permission. He is trying to find a reason to have his DOJ investigate Biden now. All to distract from impending Epstein Files, and his Ukraine shennanigans where Trump will recognize Ukrainian land as being Russia.
Linda— I highly doubt that the Ukrainians will agree to any of the conditions that the Russians are setting for “their” peace plan. All of this Fuckery by Trump is for naught!
This is no-win situation for Zelensky. If he doesn’t agree, he loses the financial and “moral” support of the USA and the world waits for Trump to overtly support Putin’s quest to invade Ukraine.
He can continue to destroy Russia's oil industry and arms depots with what he already has.
He loses the support of the U.S. either way.
Exactly what I thought.
I say reporters gotta start asking how he managed to sign 1600 pardons for traitors on Day 1 -- a day he didn't even take office until noon, with a ceremony in there (though not a parade, because no one would show up) -- without using an Autopen.
And let's start comparing his signature on documents and start asking him what's in the documents he's been signing. He sure as fuck doesn't know. Just like he doesn't know why he pardons who he pardons. His mind has gone fuckity-bye.
Reporters ask nothing. Right now he has probably amassed enough women reporters that he has said offensive things to, for them to file a class action suit against him for harassment.
It would be fucking BRILLIANT if - in one voice - ALL the women he tried to demean spoke up and asked exactly that! ' How did YOU manage to sign all of those 1600 pardons for the Jan 6th traitor/insurrectionists on Day 1 when you were 1)being sworn in NOT on the bible Mrs. frump was holding? WHEN he starts telling them to 'shut up, you stupid ugly women', at least ONE should keep going in an even louder voice: WE'VE been comparing your signature on those 'documents you SAY you signed and they don't look the same'. What's your response to THAT?' I'd PAY to hear this - AND we could start a go-fund me for those women reporters who did this.
Male reporters only ask pre-approved questions. Female journalists ask real questions and get insulted for actually doing their jobs.
I know I can't believe there isnt a news reporter strike against lying for Trump unless the media new oligharch owners are just waiting to fire real reporters and use AI programed to print out Trump propaganda.
Absolutely. If they can walk out on the drunk moron at the DoD because they refuse to surrender their 1st Amendment rights, I don’t understand why they don’t stand up for ethics and morals and ignore the want to be king in the White House.
That cocaine-raddled hunk of spoiled meat is long gone to the land of wind and ghosts.
[I shoulda scrolled first]
I have the same problem - but don't worry, whatever you write is worth reading.
aw thanks!
It was already noted that some of his signatures on pardons were identical. The Justice Department removed them and replaced them with no never sign your name absolutely identically multiple times.
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/justice-department-quietly-replaced-identical-trump-signatures-on-recent-pardons
Of course. If he makes fun of someone, its usually a fault that he himself has in spades.
he doesn't 'make fun' - he lashes out in RAGE because he HATES WOMEN, most especially if they're brown or black. He just lost his case against Letitia James who WON her case against him in NY, getting him convicted THIRTY-FOUR FUCKING TIMES - so he was HOT to find 'something' to imprison her for - and now the judge just threw out that fucked-up, coked-up case along with Comey's. So he's in yet another of his patented rages.
Each day this week is wilder than the last.
That DHS message is - a "choice."
My Haudenosaunee ancestors (Iroquois) are part of the native confederacy that helped shape the very democracy this country claims to love and defend.
Seeing DHS tweet ‘no room for invaders’ on Thanksgiving — a holiday created by Indigenous generosity — tells you exactly how far this regime is willing to go to rewrite American identity.
It is not just tone deaf.
It is authoritarian messaging.
Don’t get me wrong. I love that Michael Bohacek is breaking ranks with the Republicans who want to engage in the gerrymandering of his state. But I have to ask myself, if he DIDN’T have a child with Down Syndrome, would he have been so offended by the “R” word? Nobody on the right ever gives a shit about the rhetoric coming from their side until it hits home. If only Trump’s cruelty bothered them when it was directed toward OTHER PEOPLE, we wouldn’t be living in this fucking hellscape.
You’re right. If it happens to THEM … then they take action. There isn’t a molecule of empathy or compassion in the entire GO fucking P. 🙄
Nope!
Nope 😞
Just being nut-picky here - it’s “Down” not “Down’s” Syndrome. Thank you. 😘
I worked with special needs kids for 15 years anc it was referred to as Down’s syndrome back then. But you’re right. It’s now just called Down syndrome. I edited my comment.
Stephanie, I am sure you are right, at least he is living it and is correct about it so I am heartened by his words. Just him because other than Mal formed Sporky I can’t think of any other examples it’s way too compassionate to fit in with MAGA.
Yes! I thought the same thing!
I thought the same, but as humans so often we only learn to accept something or understand something when it happens to us or our loved ones. Sometimes empathy is a learned or acquired ability - my respect to those who got it innately.
As a mother of Down Syndrome Adult daughter I am offended when anyone uses the word regarded regarding anyone (child, adult)! It is like using the N…… word! Very offensive and degrading! Good for someone calling out Brain-free Dumb Trump for using that word! And I had no idea she had Down Syndrome! Does that make me
R…….????
And it’s not inadvertent. He knows exactly how offensive that word is and he uses intentionally.
NO! The fact that you ARE so deeply offended AND compare it to the horrid 'N' word makes it clear YOU are one of us and clearly not one of them. I'd bet you were equally offended before your daughter was born - correct? THAT is the difference - and the point the OP was making, I believe. That this specific person only seemed to 'get it' once it came home to him.
Hopefully, people are mature enough and smart enough to admit their mistakes and change.
Sadly - it's now becoming in FULL usage by magats on instagram AS an insult to any deemed democrat, liberal anti-trump person. They use the awful 'r' word with glee. It's so beyond my ken.
Probably not. That is the saddest part. At this point I'll take about any small win.
You’re right. We should take what we can get.
Michael Bohacek doesn’t get a pass here. He knew when trump mocked the disabled reporter back in 2015.
I'm torn on this one. NOW that he has a child with Down Syndrome - he's been through it - BUT do we know for sure if he was a rotter beforehand? I'd like to know before judging this guy. Anyone know his voting record about children and mother's rights to fucking EAT before his child was born? That could be a good indicator?
I’m not sure. But he’s using the fact that he was offended when Trump said “retarded” (because he has a child with Down Syndrome) as the reason for voting against gerrymandering. Which makes me think he would have been fine with it until then. I could be wrong. Maybe he was looking for an excuse to vote no, and Trump gave him one. It’s sad that I don’t trust any of them anymore.
1. Homeland Security sure as hell doesn’t make me feel secure. The invaders are those in Trump’s government.
2. I held my nose and took a dive into Trump’s batshit post. I came out feeling slimy, covered in ooze, and convinced more than ever his brain has gone completely to the point of no return.
3. I told you Marge’s transformation isn’t complete and probably never will be
4. I’m going to purchase bunny slippers for my next flight which probably won’t come until sometime in 2029 after Duffy loses his job.
Walking barefoot is a good way to catch hookworms, how apropos.
🎶 The worms crawl in, the worms crawl

Kay, he can’t figure out how to do ‘the hokee-pokee’ and then there is the left and right problem, what’s that over there oh fishing boat got to go.
I wouldn’t go near that Drumpf post even with Hunter’s trouser hose!
Nancy Cordes was born and raised in my state. Her parents are both MDs. She was always a top student and is obviously brilliant. Of course Preznit Piggy defaults to his knee jerk insult when asked something legitimate that he doesn't like. Fucking loser. Cordes's IQ is easily double or maybe triple his.
His IQ is in negative territory
Of COURSE it would have to be. One could see by the expression on her face what she REALLY wanted to say and she might just have won Jeff's Lifetime Pulitzer.
Sporky must have been visited by the Three Ghosts of Political Career.
Nice.
Hey if anyone wants to B Horyn I say that's their own personal binniz
Her name does sound made-up. Reminds me of that character in Austin Powers, Ivanna Humpalot
The Bond flics were full of names full of sexual innuendo. How that practice got extended to the DHS payroll is a mystery.
Disgraceful, just like Krusty Gnome and this entire Administration
They’re all Barbies.
Don't we all 🤣
Haha, oh, for younger days. . .
I thought the same thing
She could have legally changed her name if she wanted to, something I would have done for sure.
😂😂😂
Technically, her husband is. Mr. Rection. Don't even bring up his son Rusty.
Rusty plays the trombone
😂😂
🤣👏🏻🤣👏🏻🤣
Can you believe thats her real name!!!! Her parents must have been meth heads.
Or practical jokesters. Or maybe they just hate kids
The taxi driver doesn’t speak a word of English and he’s eyeing me in his rearview mirror wondering why I’m laughing. 😂😂😂.
But so far, Barcelona seems to be oblivious to our bullshit. Let it continue to be that way. ✌️
You can go “run with the bulls” in España;
while here, we gotta run with
the bullshit!
Oh, honey... I'm coming back. This is what's called my birthday present to myself... a vacation.
And I used to think watching Bart’s crank call to Moe asking for “Amanda Huggenkiss” was about as MadLibs as we were likely to encounter in everyday life.
😂😂
Dementia Donnie's fantasy life has overtaken any semblance of reality. The Constitution requires that certain documents, like pardons and laws, have to be signed by the president; it doesn't specify how. A prototype of today's autopen was first used by Thomas Jefferson, and do we even have to point out that Dirty Don has used it, too? Also, the president's pardon power is plenary; it can't be undone by some fucking idiot no matter how loud the voices in his head are screaming. Also, SecDrunk Kegstand is going to end his life in The Hague, along with every service member who didn't follow the advice of the NatSec Dems and refuse to carry out the illegal order to commit murder.
If Marjorie was really telling those Republican men “fuck you” in the sweetest Southern drawl, it would sound like “bless your heart.”
All he said was "serve out your term", and she decided to rant about her own husband who does not do enough. She is rich enough to hire a maid. Might help her blood pressure to get some "help".
Then again, she might have a maid, but is trying to score a point and seem "normal" at the same time.
Just another week in 'murica. The daily shitshow continues. I'm thankful that there are people like Jeff Tiedrich to tell us the truth and make us laugh at the absurdity of what's happening to our country. Thank you Jeff.🇺🇸
I think Jeff is providing a vital service so we all don’t lose our minds.
I read today that stress causes people to lose hair, I was as sicker than ever in my life when dopey took office and somehow I pulled out of it mostly. But my hair thinned noticeably and it’s not in my family. Stress kills, don’t let it Jeff is our guardian angel…well that is pushing it but you all know what I’m saying.
I DO know what you’re saying … and it’s all about perspective, I think. Jeff is successful because he identifies the absurdity of this regime, how off the charts nuts they are… normal people dont act like this. And everytime I read what he writes, and the comments after, I do feel better. We’re all gathered here because we appreciate and need to hear this rational and humorous view. 💙💙💙
Truth!!!
I know that reading Jeff everyday is definitely keeping me more sane than I would be without him!
The exploding head meme is good. It's just the wrong head.
I can’t watch that one — too horrifying
That's why they called him "King" Cronenberg.
Where's a Scanner when you need one?😂
