I was really on the fence about whether to do a three-part year in stupid, as I did in 2023, or a one-part year in stupid, as I did in 2024.
it was the realization as I sat down to write this morning that I absolutely didn't want to write about Donny's latest betrayal of Zelenskyy that seal the deal: a three-part year in stupid you get.
but that doesn't mean you can't discuss it in the comments!
I am also trying to step back from the Zelenskiy deal because I know that there will be people who point out that Zelenskiy made sure to include things he knows Putin will never go for, thereby making the "peace" plan a nonstarter.
Also, yuck every time I see that poster of the child bride with her MAGA spouse. Yuck, Yuck and Yuck!
I'm hoping that the leaders of our former allies get called out for their inability to see that Trump NEVER had any intention of helping Ukraine or even being neutral. He is Putin's toy boy.
I’m glad you’re doing three parts, Jeff. Nothing like your taking us down the memory lane of stupid shit so we can once again throw our heads back in laughter over and over. I hope this is fun for you, cuz it sure is fun for me. Thank you as always for your service.
At the end of 2028, you’ll be doing a six-part year in stupid which will be icing on top of the previous 360 days of stupid. Yes, 2028 will give us one whole extra leap day of stupid. Then in 2029 we have to endure another nineteen whole days of stupidity before we get a new president to replace what will by then be a stinking pile of aging racism that looks and smells like a gorgonzola-sewage fondue kept alive with IV lines and an oxygen tank, with a colostomy line directly feeding Truth Social amd Fox News
Oh dear God, what did Trump do to Zelenskyy now? I’ve been in my dark, silent bedroom all day with a raging migraine! I only got up to read this daily Substack.
Do you get migraines triggered by rainy days? I sure do. Every time the barometer drops, my head explodes. It's pouring now in Boston, and I'm wearing my ice cold headache hat so I can read. I keep several cold packs in the freezer for this. It's a challenge to be able to think of coherent comments, so please excuse this odd ramble!
I also just finished reading the NYT article about MTG. It may be the migraine, but I thought it was fair. The author doesn't absolve her of anything, but it does show how tRump's extremes are penetrating even the thickest MAGA skulls. It certainly doesn't support her, or make her a hero, only that she is human and has some lines she will not cross. She's still wrong about many things.
So glad you went with three-part year in stupid. Proof truth is (in this case) stupider than fiction. You couldn’t make it up. Thanks for the laughs Jeff, from start to finish. The only thing that bothers me is once I stop laughing, I might find myself weeping at the ignorant douchebags that make up this Administration; none worse than the know it all, who knows fuck all, except how to be a walking sack of narcissistic excrement, DJT. Thank you for your attention to this.
That you don't have a 365-parter for this Year in Stupid is amazing. Because the stupid was a firehose of fuckery, to quote you. Non-stop. Also, I laughed my ass off at Rotting Stevie Three-Shirts. Bravo.
And thank you for keeping us sane, 365 too, Jeff. I honestly don't know what I would have done with this nonsense without you and this community.
Not sure- she is maybe becoming a genuine right wing populist- as opposed to the fake right wing populism of the MAGAts. There is an opening for that as people lose their health care coverage, have fewer and fewer housing options, and as the asshole class scoffs at affordability. Right wing,assertive Christian, woman who has been rejected by the Trump-Hegseth pro-rape, barefoot and pregnant crowd. Left wing populists like Mamdani are certainly having a moment.
Don’t know about the rest of y’all, but I am too angry to talk about the administration’s betrayal of the preeminent hero of our times. I am so very ashamed.
I loved the image of congress members packing up their desks and belongings… with all these GOP fucks leaving office to run for governor, the democrats are already a majority…
but they continue to act as if it's business as usual. every time the gop is in the minority (which has happened at least twice in the last two months) they need to take over the floor and vote in their own speaker. it's inufriating.
Putin is dangling a big carrot in front of Trump, which he will never come through on. You know it, and I know it, but does Trump know it? Apparently not!
Sad, sad and mad. He is sad, she is sad and I am mad. We deserve better. I was watching him walk from his jet to his golf cart and imagining him using a walker. How is that for an image MAGA?
I keep open the possibility that she is a Russian spy honeypot set to get him into the White House, and compromised with Putin so that they can destroy the US, one of Putin's biggest goals in life.
Like first wife, definitely a strange coincidence. Victor Knavs was a state chauffeur, turned state car dealership dealer, with possible SOVA connections. Considering the Kremlin links, and circumstances of his once divorced eastern bloc first wife odds are a possibility Linda!
The question I have for you Linda, does Trump really have any knowledge in that drug addled brain? I question if it contains anything but oleaginous sewage, but I hear where you’re coming from!
Try living abroad in a country that used to be America’s ally!! Many times, to my delight, people ask me if I’m Canadian, & my go to reply is, “Yeah, let’s go with that!!” I’ve had people come up to me as soon as they discover I’m American & ask me if people are THAT stupid in America (not joking!) to which I say, “Apparently so!” I’ve also been asked about our education system & whether or not we’re taught history. 🤦🏻♀️ Etc, etc. I am extremely embarrassed to be an American so much so that I’ve seriously thought about tapping into my mother’s British accent & speak like her from here on. As a child, I was so good at mimicking her, & I’d call my school & tell them I was going to be out sick for the day. They thought it was my mom every single time!! Nowadays, I’m not so good at mimicking her because she’s been out of my life for 21 years so I haven’t teased her, & I don’t hear her in my head so much. If you don’t use it, you lose it.
On the other side I recent spoke with a prominent Canadian author and apologized on behalf of sane America. He said he's even been hearing that in red states. He also joked that Trump had turned us in Canadians, quick to apologize.
The question I’m asked over and over again is, “How could Americans vote for him twice?” The other is, “How can a convicted felon run for office but not be allowed to vote for said felon?” I shrug. It’s a shithole country now.
It's entertaining to see MAGA Jesus crucified in a hospital gown worn over sweat pants and complete with white running or golf shoes. Exactly how Pontius Pilate did things.
I couldn't stop laughing but there is also that sickening feeling: How did the country get this low? This much of a laughing stock in the world? It will take a strong, charismatic and determined leader to quell the ignorance and arrogance of these MAGAts. Jeff - can't thank you enough for the sense of humor that at least lessens the pain. Also to all who comment, as some are trophy winners too..
Yes! Reading comments is my second favorite thing to do in the morning after reading Jeff’s post! We are a tribe of like minded, fed up with the fuckery, people and it is soooo nice to know I am not alone! Thank you Jeff and thank you to everyone here!
When I'm reminded of the first outrages, I continue to be astonished that nobody did anything about them back then. The level of stupidity that accompanies the Enola Gay event should have been a red flag. Now we've fallen so far that it's going to take a lot to climb back up.
Thanks, Jeff, for enabling us to laugh at the really stupid, ignorant dumbfucks who plowed their way through the first third of the year. We look forward to your articulate rendering of the rest.
Governor Newsom has a perfect blond wife and four perfect blond children. When Maga gets over themselves they will fall in line for the Übermensch. They can't hate on that perfect family.
Submit to the wisdom of our husbands? If I had done that I'd be living under a bridge somewhere. And what is it about "defending the homeland"? Do they mean defending their lifestyles as braindead fascists? They must really hate America if they want to change it so much. We were always a nation of immigrants. Every wave melted into the fabric of our country and contributed to what was unique about us. The most vibrant regions are regions with more immigrants.
Even with three installments it'll barely be enough to hold all the dumbfuckery we were forced to endure. And how absolutely appropriate it is that you lead off the tsunami of stupidity with what IMHO is the prototypical image of Grampa Grift, the Day One Dictator, Capo di Tutti Capi, trousers yanked high over his Depends. Happy New Year everyone.
This morning in Wisconsin the roads looked exactly like that video. Can’t imagine driving that fast and being that distracted in those conditions. Plenty of stupid drivers out there but not stupid enough to video and post their accidents!
Brunettes are exotic to Norwegians. Maga and Repubs demand blonds. Ok, I will concede that Justa Dick's wife is brown, but I doubt that marriage will survive. Erika Kirk is waiting in the wings and that woman is thirsty.
Jeff, I never know what's gonna strike my warped sense of humor as funny, but today it is..'did humor ensue?' And then, Couchfuck McGee was the follow-up. I know, I know, I've read it a thousand times, but somehow, this morning, I COMPLETELY LOST MY SHIT!! Seriously, I couldn't see I was laughing out loud so HARD! And, boy, I really needed that. Jeff, you ARE the MAN! Thank you for everything you write for all of us! Early Happy New Year!
This isn’t just a highlight reel of stupidity. It’s a year-long autopsy. The jokes land because the pattern is real. When incompetence, cruelty, and farce keep repeating, satire stops exaggerating and starts reporting. Jeff’s just holding the mirror steady and letting the country recognize its own face.
Will say there’s a theme running through all …that “edumacation” may be needed .. but damn that old GOP Mantra of:
Keep ‘em Poor
Keep ‘em Sick
Keep ‘em Stupid
Control the Women
Sure did get a shot of MAGA/MAHA is definitely on steroids and prevalent in 2025. What’s to behold in 2026 and what fresh Hell are we in store for.. God only knows..
Frankly, I'm surprised that you can cover all the stupid in three parts. Me thinks an outtakes post is in order. Dipshit totaling his car is a classic! 😂😂😂 Can't wait for the rest of the 2025 Darwin Awards.😂😂😂😂

I look forward to part 3.
I am also trying to step back from the Zelenskiy deal because I know that there will be people who point out that Zelenskiy made sure to include things he knows Putin will never go for, thereby making the "peace" plan a nonstarter.
Also, yuck every time I see that poster of the child bride with her MAGA spouse. Yuck, Yuck and Yuck!
And that child bride kind of has that “look” that ICE wants to kidnap and torture these days. 😳
That poster is kind of like Gilead met the Stepford Wives... And hubby looks like a bearded 14 year old.
I'm hoping that the leaders of our former allies get called out for their inability to see that Trump NEVER had any intention of helping Ukraine or even being neutral. He is Putin's toy boy.
She looks kind of young if ya ask me.
I’m glad you’re doing three parts, Jeff. Nothing like your taking us down the memory lane of stupid shit so we can once again throw our heads back in laughter over and over. I hope this is fun for you, cuz it sure is fun for me. Thank you as always for your service.

Given all the stupid shit that happened in 2025, I’m only surprised this isn’t a 12-part series.
Thanks for making me laugh at the chucklefuck who doesn’t know how to drive in bad weather, though.
what, no jokes about this ongoing tease/betrayal? we'll assume some swearing tho
today in Shit That Happened While I Was Busy Writing This Shit:
Madge Thee Toe's fake-rehabilitation tour continues, with the NY Times taking the bait and writing about it credulously
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/29/magazine/marjorie-taylor-greene-trump-maga-split.html?unlocked_article_code=1.AVA.WAHr.9AVwDx20bXyu&smid=url-share
Fuck the NYT. Not even fit for fish guts
You’re right about that Doc!
Fuck Nazi aiders and abettors AG Sulzberger & Joe Khan who missed the Holocaust.
but they have great recipes...oh wait a minute, i don't cook
How does one get one of these gigs where you can be a credulous dupe but get paid a bunch of money to carry water for rightwingers?
I would advise you not to get one of those gigs because Donny won’t protect any of them when all this shit hits the fan.
I think first, you need to be dropped on your head repeatedly. Not sure I can recommend that.
Not sure- she is maybe becoming a genuine right wing populist- as opposed to the fake right wing populism of the MAGAts. There is an opening for that as people lose their health care coverage, have fewer and fewer housing options, and as the asshole class scoffs at affordability. Right wing,assertive Christian, woman who has been rejected by the Trump-Hegseth pro-rape, barefoot and pregnant crowd. Left wing populists like Mamdani are certainly having a moment.
ffs nyt jebus h
Don’t know about the rest of y’all, but I am too angry to talk about the administration’s betrayal of the preeminent hero of our times. I am so very ashamed.
It is sad and disgusting but it's what we expected. Sadly. We all know that Donnie works for Putin and only Putin.
I loved the image of congress members packing up their desks and belongings… with all these GOP fucks leaving office to run for governor, the democrats are already a majority…
but they continue to act as if it's business as usual. every time the gop is in the minority (which has happened at least twice in the last two months) they need to take over the floor and vote in their own speaker. it's inufriating.
With Manchin an d Sinema, dem majority was nothing but a fugazi Run!
Putin is dangling a big carrot in front of Trump, which he will never come through on. You know it, and I know it, but does Trump know it? Apparently not!
I don’t think that Donnie even knows his wife’s (of the last 20+ years) first name anymore! He keeps calling her “First Lady”!
Sad, sad and mad. He is sad, she is sad and I am mad. We deserve better. I was watching him walk from his jet to his golf cart and imagining him using a walker. How is that for an image MAGA?
I keep open the possibility that she is a Russian spy honeypot set to get him into the White House, and compromised with Putin so that they can destroy the US, one of Putin's biggest goals in life.

Is that what we're calling Pootin's gignomous Russian Schlong? A big carrot dangling in front of Trump.
🤣😂
Do you mean his horse's schlong?
The question I have for you Linda, does Trump really have any knowledge in that drug addled brain? I question if it contains anything but oleaginous sewage, but I hear where you’re coming from!
I'm waiting (in vain) for a reporter to ask, "If Putin is so interested in peace, why does he CONTINUE BOMBING CIVILIANS?"
Donold and Vlad have been in cahoots for a very long time. Bibi too
Money laundering, child raping, sex trafficking, fraud. All owned by Semion Mogilevich
Can’t wait to see them topple. Or die. Whichever comes first!
Release the Epstein videos that Putin possesses of Trump raping teenage girls
Agree Neal! Zelensky is THE HERO! Trump talks to Putin and today Netanyahu….disgusting!
I’m too angry even to think about this shocking, vile, shameful behavior.
utterly

When you have a stupid pricktator, all he can do is fail us and sell us all out.
Ah the good old NYT. They never let us down.
Honestly, I don't know how you could even condense this into just 3 parts. We are overwhelmed with stupidity on a daily basis.
My thoughts too!!
TITKOK! Hahahaha. MAGA spelling is just as "good" as MAGA math
MAGA image generating AI not any better than MAGA math or MAGA spelling.
It's entertaining to see MAGA Jesus crucified in a hospital gown worn over sweat pants and complete with white running or golf shoes. Exactly how Pontius Pilate did things.
TITKOK was likely the work of a Fox intern having some fun
Hopefully a subversive

Exactly!! 👍🏻
How can you possibly fit all the insanity into only three parts???????? Can’t wait to read it all!
That’s what I was thinking too!!
Isn't there an aphorism "Hell hath no fury like a scorned Slovenian rent-a-wife?" If not, there oughta be

Happy New Year everyone.
It’s like on the last presidential Election Day, a toggle switch was flipped to mega-maga-stupid
OMG, I forgot about that first clip of the maggots spinning off the road! Hilarious! Thanks for making Monday better!
This morning in Wisconsin the roads looked exactly like that video. Can’t imagine driving that fast and being that distracted in those conditions. Plenty of stupid drivers out there but not stupid enough to video and post their accidents!
A lady keeps saying “Well we are alright, are we all right?” No can’t you tell you’re all fucked up?
I missed it the first time around! That was some brand new stupid for me. 😆
Corespondent Natalie also kinda appears to be AI…
And pastor Joel must lead a flock of incels.
by the way, 'Corespondent' Natalie's typo is *still* up on her twitter feed, almost a year later. do you even think she knows she misspelled it?
Her "credentials" are easy to see. And it's not her intellect.
It's so strange, as if all of these women rolled off an assembly line. Don't Repukes ever long for a brunette? Crazy.
Lotta peroxide
Brunettes are exotic to Norwegians. Maga and Repubs demand blonds. Ok, I will concede that Justa Dick's wife is brown, but I doubt that marriage will survive. Erika Kirk is waiting in the wings and that woman is thirsty.
ICE Barbie, sadly, is a brunette. Maybe I should change my hair color. 🧐
Well, they have Noem, the puppy murderer, with the costly wrist watch and loads of hair extensions. Maybe that's all they can afford?!
They have a new beauty parlor manager in DHS
And there is the styling salon/makeup room in the Pentagon built just for Macho Man Kegseth.
It's the Ivanka fake-blond trophy daughter/wife thing. The gold standard of American beauty. Titillates all the Tiitkoks.
Sorry -- too "ethnic"
Twin credentials
I'll bet that she couldn't spell " cat" if you gave her the c and the t.😂😂
'i'd like to buy an A please Pat!'
😂😂😂
Spelling gud ain’t gettin’ y’all into white Heaven.
😂
Gud grammer don't neither, cordin' tuh the kiddo bride. 💁♀️

Probably doesn't care.
Spelling is for liberal cucks.
I’m sure it must look right to her. koresp….no, chorisp…no, coriss…no Oh fuck it!
Jeff, I never know what's gonna strike my warped sense of humor as funny, but today it is..'did humor ensue?' And then, Couchfuck McGee was the follow-up. I know, I know, I've read it a thousand times, but somehow, this morning, I COMPLETELY LOST MY SHIT!! Seriously, I couldn't see I was laughing out loud so HARD! And, boy, I really needed that. Jeff, you ARE the MAN! Thank you for everything you write for all of us! Early Happy New Year!
Did you see the AI pic of Erica Kirk wearing a couch upholstery suit?
Was it festooned with sexy lingerie doilies or was it made from ribbed corduroy for his pleasure?
Looked like chestnut leather with tufted buttons. Wish I could share the pic. It was hilarious.
I posted it to my substack.
😂 I haven’t seen that yet!!!
You have to have a warped sense of humor if we’re going to survive this!!
Boy, you definitely got that right!
This isn’t just a highlight reel of stupidity. It’s a year-long autopsy. The jokes land because the pattern is real. When incompetence, cruelty, and farce keep repeating, satire stops exaggerating and starts reporting. Jeff’s just holding the mirror steady and letting the country recognize its own face.
OMG … LOLOL
Will say there’s a theme running through all …that “edumacation” may be needed .. but damn that old GOP Mantra of:
Keep ‘em Poor
Keep ‘em Sick
Keep ‘em Stupid
Control the Women
Sure did get a shot of MAGA/MAHA is definitely on steroids and prevalent in 2025. What’s to behold in 2026 and what fresh Hell are we in store for.. God only knows..
hhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?
if god only knows then the bad won't happen RIGHT?
i mean, what god lets 'fresh HELL' HAPPEN?
Well there is that MAGA God…
I’m amazed that no one has re-made Pink Floyd’s “the Wall” to reflect these 77+ million fucking mental mendicants….
Frankly, I'm surprised that you can cover all the stupid in three parts. Me thinks an outtakes post is in order. Dipshit totaling his car is a classic! 😂😂😂 Can't wait for the rest of the 2025 Darwin Awards.😂😂😂😂
