If it isn't in wide use, "freelancing shitkazoo" should be! Conveys so much with so few words, doesn't it? Thank you as always for a worthy "This Week in Stupid" edition.
I pine for the days when the news was full of dipshits who believe Mount Rushmore is a portal for woke demons, and not our current wall-to-wall fascist fuckery. but I guess we all do
I fantasize about the next President, a Democrat with good taste, having all that crap tossed in a dumpster and restoring the White House to its historic majesty. And recreating the rose garden!
I'd love to see a huge bonfire of the Temu 'artifacts'. Oh so toxic and symbolic of this administration! Wouldn't that be wonderful? Televised!! And mandatory to be aired on all stations, especially on a big screen at Mar-a-Lardo!
There are still plenty of dipshits who believe Mount Rushmore is a portal for woke demons here in Texas. Of course, they’re all facists, too. There’s nothing like that ol’ time relgion plus ignorance and hate.
Alas is right. Once again the Substandard Court stuck it to SNAP recipients. Oh sorry, we need to pause for a (unspecified) while. What is "a while" when
you can't explain to your kids why there's no food on the table?
Pause the SNAP benefits for millions of Americans while the orange felon, already spent the funds or put them in an offshore bank, decides where that money will come from!!
This is complicated and the furies of outrage demanding their heads were way premature. I sensed there was more to the story when I saw it was Ketanji Brown Jackson who passed the stay, and of course there was. Before expressing outrage on anything, we should get the facts or else we are them.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson put the stay in place so the first circuit could make their ruling. It keeps the doj from going to another justice and allows her to rule once the first circuit rules. She was very strategic about how she handled it.
She was, and this is why everyone leaping to judgement and demanding someone be stoned for this was out of line. Facts before judgment. But then you have cats in your screen name so you must be wise!
As in, "We have seen the enemy and he is us."? People are still food challenged. I understand the "stay." I don't understand mandatory hunger. Even one day.
Evidently, starving your own people is not against the law. Trump can't be held accountable for anything. We can't sue him or lock him up. We need someone willing to risk their life and destroy this evil, sick asshole.
Over-the-top outrageous because Ketanji Brown Jackson gave the pause order. Nothing like getting screwed by your own side. Her reasoning was incredibly lame.
My grandfather went to his grave cursing FDR and the New Deal. He was convinced of all that shit the Right convince themselves of. Did I mention he's dead? Anyway, he's dead now, and that is precisely how progress is made.
So, anybody found working on a bio-mechanical solution to allow humans to live forever? Nuke them from orbit. A lot.
Jeff, I know you were kidding about who Brad Little is but for others, he’s the governator of Idahooyey. He’s the one with orange stains around his mourh in the shape of you know who’s large ass.
Oh, and that picture of half the imbecile trumpf boys- Dopey is his name. Where was doofy? Couldn’t be have been far away.
Learning that that The Oval Office sign was printed on paper then tacked to the wall was… changed things a bit. Didn’t it? Like they had to get it up there right away for… reasons?
I strongly suspect that Trump‘s staff caught him wandering around in search of the Oval Office once too often, and decided to make things a bit easier for him…
When you see yellow postits everywhere you know it’s over which I suspect is in the private quarters. Ha has Alzheimer’s. He has the exact same symptoms as my mother. In another year he won’t be able to speak much because he won’t remember words.
Back in tRump 1 there was a quote circulating - I think attributed to Noel Casler which said that he couldn't read his cue cards on the set of the apprentice.
Well, it is spelled correctly....I'm not saying that they didn't get help (after all, 'office' has the challenge of both a double consonant AND a silent 'e'); I'm just noting that they did manage to get the right letters in the correct order.
Some flunky was browbeaten into making that signage on their printer at the last minute. Should have misspelled "Office" as "Orifice" to see if anyone noticed. Looks like he's planning to lease out the office for plated lunches and other business meetings.
Just more demented shit to add to the pile. At the very least, someone rolled up the scotch tape to paste the signs to the wall from the back instead of plastering the tape across the front, for a little touch of class.
Important to note that the SNAP stay was done by Justice Jackson as a procedural and strategic move to try to prevent the full court from fucking shit up:
"In a world in which Justice Jackson either knew or suspected that at least five of the justices would grant temporary relief to the Trump administration if she didn’t, the way she structured the stay means that she was able to try to control the timing of the Supreme Court’s (forthcoming) review—and to create pressure for it to happen faster than it otherwise might have. In other words, it’s a compromise—one with which not everyone will agree, but which strikes me as eminently defensible under these unique (and, let’s be clear, maddening and entirely f-ing avoidable) circumstances."
Yes, and I was disappointed to see so many on the left flying off the handle and demanding that heads roll without pausing to check what was really happening. Sometimes we can be a little too emotional.
I agree in principle, and strive to practice research before reaction. However, given the way that every branch of the federal government has abdicated responsibility and sanity, it’s understandable when it happens.
Does the NBC reporter who pointed out that WalMart's decreased dinner price is because of fewer, lower-quality items, get entered into the running for the "What the fuck is wrong with you" prize? Seems they earned at least an honorable mention.
Thanks for the history lesson. I didn’t know that FDR’s original name for his agenda was “The New Fucking Deal.” This history buff appreciates your clarification.
Having Post-It notes and other signs taped up and around is common for helping ppl with dementia. I'd bet there is at least one sign that reads "Toilet" inside.
I live in a retirement community that has a memory care unit. Yes, signs are plastered on every door and wall. And not just in the memory care unit. If Dotard lived here, he would be in the Assisted Living wing. He can no longer care for himself. It’s obvious.
As someone who worked at a nursing home as an after-school job in high school----"decorating the bathroom with shit" is definitely what some of the residents did for fun and games (it was always a man)
Or, he could be like Crassus. As I recall, in his quest for more gold, he was defeated by the Persians. They tied him up and poured molten gold down his throat... Anyone? I think it has to be real gold, not that stuff in the Oval Office.
"let’s see if I have this straight. Muslims are playing a hundred-year long game to take over the world, and they’re doing it by getting the rest of us hooked on SNAP benefits?"
😂😂 Pure gold. Even the Supreme Court wants to starve people. What a sick bunch.
AND THANK YOU FOR THE NUT SMACKER GIF. That never gets old!
And that photo of Victor Orban? He looks like a cartoon character. 🤦♀️
I hadn’t heard of that or the one day freak out headline about dragging a four wheel cart over some way overpriced marble. It was such a big deal that day but then as is often the case, poof! But Trump and contractors = nothing good comes from it. Now that seems to be his mission as he dream-walks thru time.
ESPN reports this morning that Trumpster Fire wants the new 'Washington Commanders' NFL stadium in D.C. named after him. It's not near the top of the list of the insanity, given all of the suffering this person is causing, but it's still insane.
Adding a layer of insanity are the people in the media who pretend the insanity is sane. “Oh, of course, it makes perfect sense that the president of the United States would ask a professional football team to name their stadium after him. Why not?”
I'm mulling the idea that the worthless women's tiny, expensive apartments are becoming more costly because of......immigrants? How does that work, exactly?
Aww, Watters has his version of sympathy, or is it disdain, for all those women who weren’t fortunate enough to marry someone like him, thereby making the women he’s describing feel very very lucky they did not marry someone like him.
Sometimes I wonder if Jesse and some of the others on these right wing networks really believe the shit they say, or if they just get paid enough to say it. I remember seeing some commentator on the left once say that there were definitely some people at Fox (when it was more or less the only right wing channel) that if you paid them enough money, they'd leave Fox and go to some place like MSNBC and say the exact opposite of what they said on Fox.
Jesse Watters is full of it. There IS no "Green New Deal"; it was never enacted into law.
And for a guy who seems to like women to be submissive little tradwives, he sure seems to prioritize their being educated and employed (in all the STEM subjects, no less):
"...and you’ve got the wrong degree. you should have gotten a degree in like chemistry, biology, finance, computer science. something useful in this high tech AI economy."
So, what's it gonna be, Jesse? Do you want your women to be submissive, stay-at-home housewives who clean your house and make your dinner, or do you want them educated, employed, and independent? Because if the latter, they're gonna take absolutely ZERO of your misogynistic bullshit.
here's what I wrote a year ago, and you know what? I think it still holds up.
"let’s celebrate acts of defiance"
https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/lets-celebrate-acts-of-defiance
the people I wrote about three days after the election are still pretty much the people leading the way a year later.
OMG!! It all applies today! What a ridiculous mess. It pisses me off all over again reading it again.
Oh, Ill restack and cross post the SHIT outta that Jeff.
Jeff, You nailed it!
I remember that article.
Unforgettable Scott!
Just gotta say again how much I love your gif with Pete Kegseth giving it to himself in the cajones. It will never get old for me. Thank you!!!
If it isn't in wide use, "freelancing shitkazoo" should be! Conveys so much with so few words, doesn't it? Thank you as always for a worthy "This Week in Stupid" edition.
It certainly holds up, but no way you could foresee the complete shit show it has all become, in your wildest imagination.
One for the ages...
Needle sharp, as usual.
so much stupid shit happened this week but almost none of it was funny, alas
Are you kidding...this was another masterful summary.
I pine for the days when the news was full of dipshits who believe Mount Rushmore is a portal for woke demons, and not our current wall-to-wall fascist fuckery. but I guess we all do
I love "oval bordello".
I fantasize about the next President, a Democrat with good taste, having all that crap tossed in a dumpster and restoring the White House to its historic majesty. And recreating the rose garden!
I'd love to see a huge bonfire of the Temu 'artifacts'. Oh so toxic and symbolic of this administration! Wouldn't that be wonderful? Televised!! And mandatory to be aired on all stations, especially on a big screen at Mar-a-Lardo!
and the west wing if they tear out the big ugly ballroom
I keep wondering: How much Temu gold can they get on the walls? They seem to be piling it on top of the other tacky gold. Jeebus!
There are still plenty of dipshits who believe Mount Rushmore is a portal for woke demons here in Texas. Of course, they’re all facists, too. There’s nothing like that ol’ time relgion plus ignorance and hate.
Those were the days!
LOL!
How in the world did you find the Oval Office bars? 😂😂 Google is a miracle.
I googled "restaurants named Oval Office," on a hunch there might be, and there were
👏👏👏
😝😝😝
Alas is right. Once again the Substandard Court stuck it to SNAP recipients. Oh sorry, we need to pause for a (unspecified) while. What is "a while" when
you can't explain to your kids why there's no food on the table?
Pause the SNAP benefits for millions of Americans while the orange felon, already spent the funds or put them in an offshore bank, decides where that money will come from!!
But...but....DOGE recovered millions and millions of dollars in their waste, fraud, and abuse tour! Where did that go--do we need to ask?
Yeah! Let’s ask Mike Johnson.
This is complicated and the furies of outrage demanding their heads were way premature. I sensed there was more to the story when I saw it was Ketanji Brown Jackson who passed the stay, and of course there was. Before expressing outrage on anything, we should get the facts or else we are them.

Thanks for this information.
I am so relived. She passed the stay, which scared me at first, but brought me quickly to my senses.
As in, "We have seen the enemy and he is us."? People are still food challenged. I understand the "stay." I don't understand mandatory hunger. Even one day.
Evidently, starving your own people is not against the law. Trump can't be held accountable for anything. We can't sue him or lock him up. We need someone willing to risk their life and destroy this evil, sick asshole.

The Big Stupid was probably Thursday's Ocal Offive drama
That’s exactly what I came here to say. Lots of shit, none of it funny. You didn’t have much to work with.
I will say by Thursday I really needed to see Hegseth destroy his balls with that skate board.
Even you, Jeff, can't get blood (humor) out of a stone (tRump.)
So disappointed you didn't write about his funeral.
Jeff, I know you were kidding about who Brad Little is but for others, he’s the governator of Idahooyey. He’s the one with orange stains around his mourh in the shape of you know who’s large ass.
Oh, and that picture of half the imbecile trumpf boys- Dopey is his name. Where was doofy? Couldn’t be have been far away.
Learning that that The Oval Office sign was printed on paper then tacked to the wall was… changed things a bit. Didn’t it? Like they had to get it up there right away for… reasons?
I particularly like the fancy gold font. That’s the clue that Trump is the intended audience.
I strongly suspect that Trump‘s staff caught him wandering around in search of the Oval Office once too often, and decided to make things a bit easier for him…
Is he wandering around there on his own? No one next to him guiding him “Sir, that’s the copier room, you want the situation room over there” ???
Surprised it doesn’t read Snack Bar.
"The Diet Coke buzzer is behind this door. You're almost there."
You win the internetz for that. Johnny, tell Crystal what prizes she'll be taking home.
Clearly they can’t leave anything unlabeled anymore, after that time DeeJayTee went looking for the men’s room, found Pam Bondi’s office, and, well….
Vocational training.
Yup
You know it. He'd agree to anything if gold was involved.
I guess his brain is at the preschool level and needs directions!
Pretty soon Donnie Demento will be showing up with a "1600 Pennsylvania Avenue" notecard pinned to his shirt.
"If found (wandering aimlessly), please return to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Please keep him away from the stairs to the roof."
Alternatively,
"THIS WAY TO THE ROOF, SIR!"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
When you see yellow postits everywhere you know it’s over which I suspect is in the private quarters. Ha has Alzheimer’s. He has the exact same symptoms as my mother. In another year he won’t be able to speak much because he won’t remember words.
Hahaha! I’m dyin’.
But, can he read it?
Maybe “the?”!!!!!!
Back in tRump 1 there was a quote circulating - I think attributed to Noel Casler which said that he couldn't read his cue cards on the set of the apprentice.
Doubtful but the now homeless person who finds him wandering can. The real question is will they take him home or dump him in the Potomac?
I mean Tess, I love and admire you, because I cannot argue with that statement in the SLIGHTEST.
Haha! Back at ya!!
I’ll take the “under” on school level.
Assuming he can read cursive….
I'm impressed that the sign was spelled correctly. That's an achievement for this administration.
I think you are giving the administration too much credit.
Well, it is spelled correctly....I'm not saying that they didn't get help (after all, 'office' has the challenge of both a double consonant AND a silent 'e'); I'm just noting that they did manage to get the right letters in the correct order.
They probably used AI to help them. lol.
Yea Joyce I kept wondering about the correct spelling. Maybe we're turning towards a more sane government!! Just kidding...
Some flunky was browbeaten into making that signage on their printer at the last minute. Should have misspelled "Office" as "Orifice" to see if anyone noticed. Looks like he's planning to lease out the office for plated lunches and other business meetings.
It's the offal orifice to me.
Yeah, that’s what it looked like to me, as well.
And Oral for oval!
The Offal Office.
You beat me to it!
😂😂😂
Just more demented shit to add to the pile. At the very least, someone rolled up the scotch tape to paste the signs to the wall from the back instead of plastering the tape across the front, for a little touch of class.
A strong gust of wind might leave it with “The Oval”
I imagine they used tack strips.
Maybe the colossal orange ding dong will find his way back onto the roof and oops!
Reasons = dementia
I’m surprised no one tacked up a sign for “Offal Office,”
Important to note that the SNAP stay was done by Justice Jackson as a procedural and strategic move to try to prevent the full court from fucking shit up:

In other words, it’s a compromise—one with which not everyone will agree, but which strikes me as eminently defensible under these unique (and, let’s be clear, maddening and entirely f-ing avoidable) circumstances."
Thank you. I was really concerned that it came from Justice Jackson, I knew there had to be a good reason.
Yes, and I was disappointed to see so many on the left flying off the handle and demanding that heads roll without pausing to check what was really happening. Sometimes we can be a little too emotional.
I agree in principle, and strive to practice research before reaction. However, given the way that every branch of the federal government has abdicated responsibility and sanity, it’s understandable when it happens.
To be fair, however, the initial report was misleading.
Thanks again.
I stand corrected on my earlier comment, now that you've fully explained KBJ's reasoning, Alison. I still don't like it, but....
Thanks - came here to share this.
Thank you for explaining
Does the NBC reporter who pointed out that WalMart's decreased dinner price is because of fewer, lower-quality items, get entered into the running for the "What the fuck is wrong with you" prize? Seems they earned at least an honorable mention.
Yes indeed! She showed real bravery there.
Did that reporter say that directly to him? Only then would it be in consideration for an honorable mention
Yes. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/fake-news-trump-berates-nbc-184821742.html
Thanks for the history lesson. I didn’t know that FDR’s original name for his agenda was “The New Fucking Deal.” This history buff appreciates your clarification.
that's what I'm here for

I live in a retirement community that has a memory care unit. Yes, signs are plastered on every door and wall. And not just in the memory care unit. If Dotard lived here, he would be in the Assisted Living wing. He can no longer care for himself. It’s obvious.
so he stops sh……. no, I can’t……….
He wears diapers and has a catheter. He doesn't need bathrooms, even though he loves to decorate them with shit.
As someone who worked at a nursing home as an after-school job in high school----"decorating the bathroom with shit" is definitely what some of the residents did for fun and games (it was always a man)
Yes you can don’t do that self gagging here you say it we might all like it!
Yes!!!
Or diaper changing area
People need to read a little deeper (past the damn headlines) into Justice Jackson's decision. Just sayin'
Yep. Believe it or not, she has valid reasoning. She's not going to rescue tRump from his worst mistakes.
Yes. Justice Jackson's decision was calculated for the best possible outcome.
I like YT's SilentMiddleChild layout of the situation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nz177ttbXg
Love it that Justice Jackson is demonstrating she's an adept strategist. The Ruth Bader Ginsburg torch is getting passed.
A lot of detailed information jammed into that clip and it is all correct it’s a great call center type format. Well done.
It's honestly driving me mad.
His obsession with gold outstrips even the mythical King Midas. His mendacity, cruelty, depravity, and corruption easily surpasses.
Or, he could be like Crassus. As I recall, in his quest for more gold, he was defeated by the Persians. They tied him up and poured molten gold down his throat... Anyone? I think it has to be real gold, not that stuff in the Oval Office.
In GOT they poured melted gold all over Danny’s brother. He was a prick like this Doofus is.
How about everything he touches turns into gold ? No more Diet Coke or cheese burgers ? We could watch him starve and solve the problem.
That was Midas's fate, I believe
Glad to see the skateboard crashing-into-the-nuts is back! Thanks!🤣
I could watch this everyday!!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm with Ms Spouce on this one for sure!! Enough.
Never!
"let’s see if I have this straight. Muslims are playing a hundred-year long game to take over the world, and they’re doing it by getting the rest of us hooked on SNAP benefits?"

Now Thom Hartmann is calling kegstand Whiskey Pete now, I thought that was good too.
Orban looks like someone tried to smush him.
Well, they both look like that.
The gold mold keeps spreading across the White House.
BeeTeeDub, if you hadn't already heard, he has stiffed the company that tore down the the East Wing (joyfully spreading asbestos as they did)
company deserved it - they thot they'd be the exception?
Not disagreeing at all.
Gold mold 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Trump is also commanding that the State Department not issue Visas to Fat People. Trump tops the list of insanity every day.
Adding a layer of insanity are the people in the media who pretend the insanity is sane. “Oh, of course, it makes perfect sense that the president of the United States would ask a professional football team to name their stadium after him. Why not?”
Would that include HIM? 🤔
More & more, I'm starting to believe that #Bumblefuck thinks he's NERO.
Next thing you know, he'll be sending immigrants & liberals in for hand-to-hand combat against lions & tigers & bears....or gladiator games.
Recommended for Trumpster 🔥
I'm mulling the idea that the worthless women's tiny, expensive apartments are becoming more costly because of......immigrants? How does that work, exactly?

Luckily for him he's on the network where contradicting himself with his meandering palaver is not fully digested by the shallow viewers they have
