Donny probably meant 'arch' — but he very clearly says 'arc' over and over in the clip I linked to, because his brain is pudding

Kay-El's avatar

He clearly meant McDonald’s arches.

longtimebirdwatcher's avatar

I thought he meant the ark in which he hopes to survive the climate crisis flooding, you know, like the bunker under the former East Wing.

Sharon Hudnall's avatar

The deluxe replica of Hitler's Bunker under the Corporate Ball-less Room will be his hidey hole when every fucking country in the world turns against us.

Carol JLH's avatar

That would be so on brand. Just like wishing for generals like Hitler had, he doesn't think about how that all turned out.

Claudia Montague Wheatley's avatar

I suspect the new! fortified! bunker is meant to protect him and his closest lickspittles from US.

R Bobby 🇨🇦❤️'s avatar

It should be forever named the Epstein Memorial Ballroom.

Outdoorluvr's avatar

I keep wondering what the annual maintenance and insurance on that monstrosity is going to cost American taxpayers, if it ever gets completed.

longtimebirdwatcher's avatar

Nothing, once we tear IT down.

The optimistic finish date is early 2029. Odds are good that Dwumpy will be out of office by time. I'm certain that if he thought No Kings protests were riots, wait until he tries to overstay his "welcome." The masses will explain it to him. Hell, I'll be at the front of the line. IMHO sure looks like he won't live to the end of 2026. Tho if he doesn't live to the end of 2025 would be great! As soon as he's gone, that idiotic ballroom will be torn down, by our bare hands if it comes to that. We WILL ERASE Him.

James Starr's avatar

Holy Mike Johnson will certainly be at the ribbon cutting of the new White House Noah's Ark ceremony....except Trump will change the name to his own

Tim Trew's avatar

That was my thought.

Linda Weide's avatar

Donny does not know that there is a potential for flooding from the climate crisis because he does not think there is one. He does not believe in it. So, I don't think this is the likely meaning.

longtimebirdwatcher's avatar

No, but I'm pretty sure some in his administration and his donors believe in the climate crisis.

Linda Weide's avatar

I do not believe that they believe in it over believing in making money whatever it takes.

longtimebirdwatcher's avatar

Then why are people like Thiel and Zuckerberg building bunkers?

Jan Moon's avatar

I think it's the ark, where, at long last, he'll be able to squeeze the unicorns on board.

Douglas Paul Truhlar's avatar

Kay, You got it nailed and they are golden so that’s his only color scheme, perfect! His posts on his very own shitty low wattage I’ll just call it a ‘platform’ in which he ‘power loads’ not only his diapers but the words even have a foul odor too.

the real pambo's avatar

Anyone wanna make a wager that he’ll install an actual McDonald’s booth in his stupid arc/arch?

Kay-El's avatar

Lol, I wouldn’t take that bet.

2Cats2Furious's avatar

Jeff, haven’t you seen the renderings of the Mad King’s plans for his own “Arc de Trump” he wants to build across from the Lincoln Memorial? Just more tackiness he wants to add to D.C.

Im sorry Uncle Jeff, I don't have a contribution today.

I am doing a cyber sec / info sec workup for tomorrow because Im hanging at Bsides, the Network Security Conference in Augusta GA.

So I have a great Ransomware piece coming up and Ill share it when I get it done.

Susan Keefer's avatar

Trump building his own Arc de Triomphe to sit at the Virginia side of the Memorial Bridge.

He’s calling it the Arc of Trump. 🙄🤮

Lady Emsworth's avatar

Huge, golden, a pointless memorial to nothing - Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you - "The Ass de Trump"!

Bob Bowden's avatar

First, he has to remove his bloated ass from the imaginary fighter jet dumping mass quantities of feces on the American people

Patrick Daniels aka Cromulent1's avatar

Trump doesn’t have the faintest idea of the symbolic meaning France’s Arc de Triomphe Susan! The tomb of the unknown soldier to such an ignorant wastrel like him, means nothing but “ suckers and losers”…sadly!

Mwfeiger's avatar

Holy shit, what utter nonsense we are being made to endure. History is poised to repeat itself, where unpopular Egyptian rulers' monuments, temples, statutes, etc. were immediately defaced and wiped clean of all attribution to the despised ruler. As for myself, I'll leave the 'peeing on his grave' to others. However, I'm all in to take my turn at demolishing all his statuary.

Douglas Paul Truhlar's avatar

Originality is not his forte.

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

Of course he is he slaps his name on everything. Always has.

Robin D's avatar

Let it be the Tomb d'Trump

Dr J's Sanity Space's avatar

Even when I think he meant that other monstrosity he wants built, Arc d'Trump, it doesn't make sense. I certainly hope that I will see the end of this a$$hole in my lifetime...

Lady Emsworth's avatar

Even when he thinks he's talking sense, it doesn't make sense. . .

Ava's avatar
Oct 25Edited

Agreed. He's been holding up sketches of an arch he wants built - one that looks suspiciously like one Hitler had wanted constructed.

Ethereal Fairy's avatar

Miller has obviously be doing his "Grima Wormtongue" act, whispering poison in his ear again. Miller is determined to carry out all of Hitler's fantasies.

Ava's avatar

Agreed. Who knew there was someone around who could make Grima look better.

Karen Rockwell's avatar

he had it designed, but it was (thankfully) never built.

Ava's avatar

Correct - thanks! This is why I should not type on my phone. Corrected.

Linda Weide's avatar

Good for Ontario's Premiere Doug Ford for funding the Ronald Reagan ad. Trump can blame it on Carney, but some other guy is doing it. Here is the ad.

https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/9.6951639

Here is what Canadian Substacker Dean Blundell had to say about it.

https://deanblundell.substack.com/p/breaking-trump-melts-down-ends-trade

kdsherpa's avatar

He's referring to the "Arc de Triumph" in Paris. He wants his to be the "Arc de Trump" (almost the same word). He doesn't know that "Arc" in French means "Arch" in English.

Nancy's avatar

maybe he's thinking of the new, marvelous, gold-gilded bunker as the "ark" where all the bigwigs can hide during the coming revolution.

Kay's avatar

Cankles is replicating the Arc de Trimophe which is in France. Just as the ballroom will be a replica of the Winter Place ballroom in Russia and last but not least a bunker will be built under the ballroom just like Hitler had built. Not an original thought in his head.

Denise Donaldson's avatar

There already is a bunker under the site of the future ballroom monstrosity.

Mombeka's avatar

Are we referring to “L’Arc de Triumphant” 🧐 when you refer to the “arch” ?

His dementia is getting pretty bad. Did you see the clip of him with the guy from the United Nations?

It was the same bizarre litany of lies. Marco Rubio looked like he was trying to put himself into a trance so he could just escape off somewhere else in his mind.

BDBoop's avatar

Yes. I knew it'd hitcha. :D

Leu2500's avatar

Hey, MAGA. You know which SecDef was a pilot? Donald Rumsfeld. He was a Navy pilot.

& HW Bush was a navy pilot during WWII. & W was a pilot.

Jeff Tiedrich's avatar

I meant to look up which SecDefs were pilots and put it in my post, but I forgot — so thanks!

Leu2500's avatar

You might be able to take it easy today. It’s almost a 24 hour flight to Malaysia. Tots & pears to his veins.

& Trump’s not doing that for some treaty signing, or to visit the additional countries he’s visiting; this is almost a week long trip.

Nope. My bet is he’s going there to conduct his own business.

Barb Bacon's avatar

Or maybe it's time for his weekly absence for medical reasons...

arne link's avatar

Maybe he wants to visit those tiny Malaysian girls he has heard about. Better be careful though, some of the prettiest ones are boys.

Cat Cafe's avatar

He doesn't mind that

Tim Trew's avatar

Hope he follows the flight path of MH370.

Lisa's avatar

I believe there just might be a large hotel and/or a golf course in the works there. If Eric shows up, we'll know the reason.

Charles Austin's avatar

They need some paste eaten?😂😂

longtimebirdwatcher's avatar

But does he really think he's going to get the Nobel Peace Prize for attacking Venezuela?

KP Johnson Austin, TX's avatar

He hasn't thought that far in advance. Beside, those "drug boats" are a threat to the nation...he'll call it self-defense.

Betsy L's avatar

More golf courses in Asia.

This could be Hegseth's Mike Dukakis in the tank moment .

longtimebirdwatcher's avatar

Yes, but HW was an actual war time pilot.

DR Darke's avatar

"Yes, but HW was an actual war time pilot."

True, Rumsfeld was a Instructor Pilot mostly, both during active service and as a Reservist.

Shrub wasn't even that.

EtTuBrutex's avatar

Thanks for the “Shrub” DR. And Molly Ivins thanks you too! I use it whenever I can!

DR Darke's avatar

Well, she's who I got it from, so....

Mary R's avatar

TBF, I think Jimmy Stewart was too. A lot better on film than Pete K too.

DR Darke's avatar

Jimmy Stewart was—he flew bombers during WWII until they finally promoted him out of the cockpit after twenty combat missions, including one where, right after he landed the damaged aircraft and everybody got out, it broke in two. Supposedly he said to one of the ground crew, "Sergeant, somebody sure could get hurt in one of these damned things".

Stewart was very proud of his military service, and helped found the United States Air Force—partly because he thought his acting career was over after IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE tanked at the box office, and it was that or go back to work at his family hardware store! The only time he traded on his war record was when he did films about the Army Air Corps (WWII) and Air Force like STRATEGIC AIR COMMAND and insisted on portrayals being both positive and accurate.

Elizabeth M. (Massachusetts)'s avatar

I still have a crush on Jimmy Stewart❤️❤️❤️

Itsy Bitsy Spider's avatar

I didn’t know any of that. Thanks.

NOYB's avatar

Brigadier General.

Mary R's avatar

Yeah, that’s right! But I think of him during WW2; I think he was with the Eighth Air Force .

DR Darke's avatar

Here's what The Museum of the U.S. Air Force site says: "[James Stewart] began flying combat missions and on March 31, 1944, was appointed Operations Officer of the 453rd Bomb Group and, subsequently, Chief of Staff of the 2nd Combat wing, 2nd Air Division of the 8th Air Force. Stewart ended the war with 20 combat missions. He remained in the USAF Reserve and was promoted to brigadier general on July 23, 1959. He retired on May 31, 1968."

https://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/Visit/Museum-Exhibits/Fact-Sheets/Display/Article/196679/brig-gen-james-m-stewart/

DR Darke's avatar

Oh, so Reagan never actually promoted him to Major General? The way I heard the story was that Reagan introduced him as "Major General Jimmy Stewart", Stewart came up and joking thanked Reagan for the promotion—Reagan laughed, then later told Casper Weinberger to promote him!

Rhesus's avatar

W was also a draft dodger.

DR Darke's avatar

"W was also a draft dodger."

Yes, but try proving it! Dan Rather was forced out of CBS over a report that Shrub had been absent from duty in the Texas Air National Guard for parts of his 1972-73 service, based on reports CBS received that turned out to be forgeries.

I suspect the story is genuine but the reports were deliberately faked to discredit people who wanted to prove George W. Bush was a fucking chickenshit.

Itsy Bitsy Spider's avatar

He never should have President. That should have been allowed to play out. That was a bad, bad moment.

Denise Donaldson's avatar

That's what I've always said, too, DR. Rather was right, even if the documents were forged.

TJTarheel's avatar

Except GW didn’t like to actually pilot…to drunk

Virgin Monk Boy's avatar

The Pete Kegstand part killed me, but the Canada meltdown is the center of the whole week for me. We now have a sitting president rage-canceling trade with one of our closest allies because Doug Ford aired Ronald Reagan. Not Trudeau. Not some socialist boogeyman. Doug. Ford. Quoting Reagan.

Jeff Tiedrich's avatar

remind me, is Doug Ford the crack smoker, or is that his brother?

Virgin Monk Boy's avatar

That was his brother Rob, the patron saint of chaos and cheeseburgers. Doug just inherited the dynasty and replaced the crack pipe with a Costco membership.

Douglas Paul Truhlar's avatar

I loved the videos of him waddling along, suddenly he would be on the ground, he had no balance!

arne link's avatar

Trump's rages may kill us all.

Susan Jane's avatar

That is my worst fear.

Dana Jae Labrecque's avatar

I feel this is true. Every day I wake up, I think “maybe today.” He’s the demon spawn of Satan.

Daniel M Kimmel's avatar

I've long said that if Reagan was alive today he'd be denounced as a "RINO" by the MAGAt cult.

Kay-El's avatar

1. Kegsbreath is a D-list Maverick flying in the derangement zone

2. Don’t agree with the racism displayed toward Patel but I do like his side giving him a taste of the medicine he dishes out.

3. I don’t have to keep a can of RAID for bugs but it might be handy if any MAGA show up at my door.

Susanna J. Sturgis's avatar

Why any person of color or any woman of any color follows Trump, Trumpism, and/or MAGA (whatever that means these days) is beyond me, though for years now I've been trying hard to get it. If I find a bo-tree to sit under, perhaps I will be enlightened.

Kay-El's avatar

Honestly Susanna, I’m not sure even the wisest sage could come up with a definitive answer.

Dr J's Sanity Space's avatar

"not with his blood-alcohol level." 😂😂

"Secretary of Defense Flippy McSkateboardnuts" THAT is my favorite! It makes me sick to imagine the amount of tax dollars that went into this little stunt.

Serves Kash right...he might indeed BE a pagan. 🤣

Do you inhale the raid before or after you fuck your cousin? JFC. Thats perfect. 💙 I wanna buy that guy a beer...but not a Miller Lite. HA!

longtimebirdwatcher's avatar

No. I live in a place with lots of Asian Indians. Diwali is like Easter and Christmas together. It is more fun than you can imagine. I might be a WASP, but I love most holidays, including Diwali and (gasp) Nowruz. Don't knock it if you haven't tried it.

Susanna J. Sturgis's avatar

I was raised sort of Episcopalian but lapsed early. If I'd learned more of Jesus's teachings, I might have stuck around. As it is, I've lived long enough to appreciate them, and other traditions too. As a more-or-less pagan I can "take what I like and leave the rest."

Sooz Hall's avatar

A wise attitude, especially now.

Dr J's Sanity Space's avatar

When I am asked what religious holidays I celebrate, my answer: I am an equal opportunity celebrant-ALL of them.

I lived in Singapore for a number of years and officially they celebrated holidays from MANY religions. I got many days off for them.

Fastball Fredo's avatar

Jeff, that outdoor table with all the empty beer cans, cigarettes packs crumpled up, the wires hanging out, the notable architecture of the “home”… And I did notice there wasn’t a bong in sight, no little blunts in the ashtray… Just some local loser pumping up his personal heart attack machine..looks to me as if he’s well on his way to Desperation Row.

bruce somers's avatar

Dave Drell's avatar

Just some 20’s somethings hanging out- wondering wtf happened to their future.

HI2thDoc's avatar

This self congratulatory smugness can be funny. Reminds me of a true account of a US soldier who was captured during the Korean War. As they were being held by the Chinese, they were subjected to propaganda by a Chinese officer who spoke some English. The guy tried to extol the virtues of communism while deriding capitalism. He puffed out his chest and said they have such prosperity that in China every other family owned their owned bicycle, which caused the Americans to roar with laughter. He was equally puzzled and angered by their ridicule and would not believe that many if not most American families owned cars.

Someone, anyone, explain to me what “got caught cheating on a commercial” is supposed to mean? Hasn’t this been Dumpy’s stock in trade—lying about whatever service or tchotchke he was peddling for $199.99? He’s so weird. When do the guys from the sanitarium come pick him up?

This post is STUPID OVERLOAD. I love it. Where to begin, the guy living in a dump probably snorting Raid was a goody—the drunk pretending to fly a fighter jet a close second. The winner, when given options, is always Trump; he can even figure out what day it is or where a country might be located. Oh, and Canada stole an old, old PSA that actually makes sense and makes him look like the idiot he truly is. All his log-distance traveling is hopefully putting more of a strain on his old, flabby body, and we should be praying for a heart attack. His brain is gone already.
