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
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.
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…
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. 🤦♀️
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?
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.
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.
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.
Oh, Ill restack and cross post the SHIT outta that Jeff.
OMG!! It all applies today! What a ridiculous mess. It pisses me off all over again reading it again.
Jeff, You nailed it!
I remember that article.
It certainly holds up, but no way you could foresee the complete shit show it has all become, in your wildest imagination.
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.
One for the ages...
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".
Those were the days!
LOL!
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.
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
👏👏👏

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.
yeah, but the New Fucking Deal!
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.)
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."
Vocational training.
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….
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!"
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.
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.
Yeah, that’s what it looked like to me, as well.
The Offal Office.
You beat me to it!
😂😂😂
Maybe the colossal orange ding dong will find his way back onto the roof and oops!
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.
Reasons = dementia

Thanks again.
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.
Thanks - came here to share this.

that's what I'm here for
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
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.

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.
Yes you can don’t do that self gagging here you say it we might all like it!
Yes!!!
Or diaper changing area
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.
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!

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.

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?
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 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
