Nah, I think there should be a draw that would include not only the US, but your neighbor up north to make up for the way he treated us during his short visit to our land in June 2018 on the occasion of the G7 Leaders’ Summit. 😉😆
The Scots will want in too for what he did with his heinous golf course there. He’s made enemies around the world. But I learned he was elected on the morning of my birthday and literally cried in bed. I think I deserve at least a couple of tickets in that raffle.
I think you deserve it more than me. I’ll give you my ticket in the spirit of friendship and for the Scots. At least his visit to Canada was short if not sweet and he didn’t leave a monstrous reminder behind in one of the most beautiful parts of Quebec.
That blows him straight up, he comes down onto a giant spring that recoils him up into a cliff (what's the technical term for the projection that juts out?), he comes down onto the roadway, and the cliff breaks off and drops on him. Melania says "Beep beep" and takes off.
An Acme rocket up the wazoo is the first reasonable explanation I’ve heard to explain why he projectile-vomits bullshit whenever he purses his lips to communicate through that dead-ringer for the anal sphincter, known as his mouth.
Can anyone explain to me why the Trump Times are fellating him so hard? He hates them. They're very likely to be victims of his "day one dictatorship." What the fuck is in it for them, the taste of his mushroom sauce??
Honestly? I think it's 2016 again. The media is convinced THIS time there's no way he can win but they only sell subs if they have exciting news to report. And instead of, I dunno, just reporting on non-election stuff until July or something, they stump up this horse race.
Which may boost sales in the short term, but there's no good ending.
A) Biden wins and power is held onto peacefully.
Now they have to explain why they were fellating Drumpf up until the last second, and every Dem has reason to cancel them for their smear campaigns. Alienating 30% of your customer base seems bad.
B) Biden wins and there's a coup.
Great move dipshits. Have fun dodging bullets while you report.
C) Biden wins narrowly, results are questioned.
Cool, the whole reason it was narrow was because you dipshits propped up the worst possible candidate.
D) Any situation where Drumpf ends up in power.
This is the best, especially because Drumpf personally hates "the failing Trump Times" and they'll be the first ones up against the wall for "day one dictator."
this is what I ask my self every fucking time I see these fucked up headlines from NYT!!!...day 1 DICKtator may just censor the Times, he has railed on them before...SMFH at this shit from them
I bet the Russian oligarchs are funding them, they have way too many'conservative' a/k/a far-right wackos, on staff, who are stupid enough to think they'll be fine when the Chaos candidate Orange-a-tan, cheats his way into office, like he did the first time. (Not saying he will get in, but maybe that is why they defend a crook). That, and 'clicks'= money, for them. They got hooked on us all doom-scroll/clicking to see what atrocity he performed on the daily.
All of our media has actually followed the Fox noise template. It's entertainment now with little to do with actual facts. Remember sitting every day after IQ45 won in '16 listening to them go on about how "he has gone too far this time" for years and years. Critical thinking has never been more important !!! Thank you Jeff for always being there with a clear undeniable look at reality. ❤️
And that GD brain-dead pearl-clutcher Susan Collins saying she's sure Shitler's learned his lesson now, so we won't vote to convict him of the many crimes he's committed. Fking do better Maine!!!
I am increasingly happy that I cancelled my subscription to the NY Times. The paper is blatantly pro-Trump and obviously wants him re-elected. If you still subscribe, cancel and let them know why.
I did exactly that when I cancelled my subscription by phone a few months ago. I might not have given any reason, but the rep asked, so I told him the NYT’s coverage of the presidential race is a shameful betrayal of public trust
I canceled my subscription last week, which I had been intending to do for awhile. The turning point came with the Times review of a brilliant and disturbing movie, “The Zone of Interest,” which focuses on a Nazi camp commandant and his family who live in a lovely suburban home complete with an extensive garden and central heat that is located--literally--nextdoor to Auschwitz. The film focuses not only on their indifference to the unavoidable sounds and scents of their “neighbors’ suffering, but also on their enjoyment of the spoils that the mass murder of them yields--chocolate, gold-plated teeth, shoes, and fur coats. Evidently the reviewer thought the movie’s cinematically stunning artistic aspirations delivered a “hollow Holocaust,” meaning, I guess, that it didn’t include any panoramic views of the dead or dying, choosing instead to entrust that to viewers’ imagination.
In capturing the essence of the horrors of the Holocaust, Hannah Arendt penned a brilliant phrase in describing its systematic processes and many perpetrators--“the banality of evil.” The film that the Times reviewer dismissed as a “hollow Holocaust” does the same through a visual versus a print medium. Ironically, the reviewer fails to realize that he stumbled on the central point of the movie--the “hollow” indifference to suffering that facilitates evil--just as the Times’ detached, thinly neutral political posturing is ushering in the destruction of what’s left of our democracy along with all the human rights and protections it confers.
Thanks for the tip, and I'll watch it. I highly recommend "The Wannsee Conference" (1984 ver) where in supreme banality of evil the Final Solution was agreed upon.
And note the strategic hollowness of the language—“final solution”—that refers to strategic mass death while “burying” it for both the perpetrators, especially those who would carry it out, and their eventual targets/victims, who would, for a time, invisibly perish as a result of it.
I bought a copy on ebay, years ago. It recreates the meeting in real time. All very businesslike. The more squeamish officials make a few lame protests which are expertly and blandly fobbed off, leaving no doubt about who is calling the shots and what those will be. Superb writing, direction, and acting.
Whether or not you can find the 1984 film, there is also a 2022 remake "The Conference". It wanders a little, maybe for atmosphere, so tells the same story but over more time and with a little less effect. That said, it's inferior only in comparison, and that's only my opinion. It's wonderful that they so well remade the hard-to-find original; though why they didn't just re-release the latter I don't know.
And there's the 1992 straight documentary "The Wannsee Conference", which will get you more facts and of course the setting, but minus the dramatic demonstration of the amoral just clearing a path through the weak and vacillating. All so politely. "Thank you Herr Minister, your point is noted".
To me it's worth having all three. But if I could only have one it would certainly be the 1984 version.
There is also a book about the Conference: The Wannsee Conference and the Final Solution, by Mark Roseman. It might still be in print, but I found a used copy on abebooks.com, a wonderful source for used and out-of-print works.
I can't WAIT to see that movie! I recently tried to read the book, but it was almost unintelligible to me, and I decided to wait on it until after I'd seen the film.
I have been reading the book after seeing the movie and am also finding it “unintelligible” so far. I thought it was because the movie is derivative of the book and doesn’t follow it closely. Perhaps not! I’m going to persist anyway. I hope you enjoy the movie. I can’t get it out of my mind.
I saw an interview with the author of the book and he agreed the film is quite different. I have spent a lot of time reading about, watching documentaries, and overall studying WWII. This film grips you AFTER you leave the theater and realize what you just witnessed. It was not hollow - it was a reminder how human beings committed these atrocities because they were committed.
I cancelled a while back after jumping through several hoops to do so.They don’t make it easy.Of course, now they want me back and I am inundated daily via e-mail and Facebook with sweet deals to resubscribe.Bet it would take a nanosecond to re-up with them but they can kiss my backside.They are and really have been for some time now, the enemy of democracy.
I doubt we'll be free of him even in death. They'll just make him a martyr, remember the hysteria at the funeral of Ayatollah Khomeini? They refused to believe he was dead, and swarmed the pall bearers, spilling the corpse out of the coffin.
Damn, you're right. What the hell are we going to do? Even if we somehow manage to defeat Trump in November, his brownshirts will be out in force, armed and ready to kill, and we can't rely on the military because too many of them are MAGAs. Even if we take back the House, Holy Mike Johnson can simply refuse to swear in the new members and will try to throw the election. We are so fucked. And I fear that Biden doesn't have the balls to do what may be necessary. After a lifetime of studying history, I'm really beginning to understand how people in Germany felt when Hitler came to power.
Well, remember, this time Biden is in control of the military, so as long as he wins the election, we should be okay. More people need to drop the NYT and WaPo, though, because we are rewarding the assholes that are defecating on democracy in the name of clicks. And with any luck cholesterol will "rid us of this vexatious pest." to paraphrase Henry ll.
You raise an excellent point though, about how it could happen here.
Already dumped the NY Times and the WaPo. Had enough of their bullshit. 'It could easily happen here because as Mencken said, "Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public". Fascism exerts a powerful pull on too many people in this benighted country.
I'm so sick of all the media talking heads, including the so-called liberal media, continually bashing President Biden! It's just sickening. They never talk about his accomplishments, they only talk about his age and how divided Democrats are. I'm so sick of it. I'm just so sick of it. Ugh...
We are seeing the death of journalism; or, rather witnessing the willful suicide of journalism. And, not coincidentally, we are also seeing the resurgence of fascism. They are interdependent phenomena.
I haven't seen or read any actual "facts" behind the purported Democratic division. Yet, what we are seeing (but not hearing about form the media) on the other side in GOP primaries appears for more like Republican divisions. Biden consistently wins big, even when he's not on the ballot, as in New Hampshire. Meanwhile Trump wins roughly 60% of his side's votes. The press say Trump is crushing Haley but Dems are divided. Riiight.
Wile E. Coyote’s famous line (I googled): “ Now, don’t try to get away! I am more muscular, more cunning, faster, and larger than you are, and I am a genius.”. That DOES sound like Trump E. Coyote….must be related!
The roadrunner of justice has finally got his crooked ass where it belongs. A couple more of those beep beeps from DC and Florida should finally put his evil agenda and daily bullshit to rest. It's been long overdue that big boulder finally comes down off that cliff so we don't have to see or listen to fuckface every damn day.
The media wears my ass out. 🙄 I've learned to ignore most of it. I know someone who insists that Trumps New York fraud case is dumb because "everybody does it" as in, inflates their properties...and the banks got their money back. Why is this such a big deal?" I tried to explain it's a law...and he continues to hammer the idea that everybody does it. WTF???
Maybe you need to explain how his fraudulent loans hurt others by depriving them of the ability to borrow and how it hurt shareholders because he got lower rates than his risk required, thus dampening profits for them.
Jimmy Kimmel had people on the street approve or disapprove to the EXACT SAME statements supposedly made by Biden and then by Trump. All of Biden’s were called bad and all of Trump’s were called good.
Lol. That’s just the right wing memo to their rabid fans. There are numerous articles which explain why this is a no-no, not that any of those numptys will read them and understand.
All the small contractors he stiffed, because he really wasn't as rich as said, would not agree. And the banks often got pennies on the dollar return on his loans, writing off thousands, if not millions over the decades.
Yes, and not all of us have numerous inflatable properties. The people who say “everyone does it” are precisely the greedy shits who do just that. Lie, steal, and cheat. Their massive gains are predicated on the behavior of decent people who don’t lie, steal and cheat.
The constant media coverage of Donald Trump, driven by the economics of clicks and views, exemplifies the fatigue all of us feel with the endless focus on hate and greed.
“If ‘everybody else’ was jumping off a cliff would you do that too?” That’s what our parents used to tell us when we were looking to join a really bad activity. ‘Everybody else’ doesn’t have the best judgement and some of them are doing time for it.
Along those lines, let me tell a quick story; I recently heard a friend's teenager complain that their school was stingy with washroom breaks. I told them I only ever had a problem with that once.
"Once?" she gasped, wide-eyed, looking at me like a dog who's just been shown a card trick.
"Yeah. And I said "Look, teacher - you can let me go there, or you can let me go on your desk. That's all I got time for. Your pick."
I seemed to have a permanent hall pass after that.
WHOA. It's surreal, isnt it? Plain, obvious evidence is out there and they STILL wont believe it. I am seriously looking at moving from the United States if the fascists win. I just can't....
This is living in a really fucked up, really bad, completely weird, totally awful circus where the clown car keeps racing around on circles while the scary clowns keep pushing each other around as they keep tripping over their giant gold sneakers and bashing their heads together. The ringmaster stands in the middle with a whip that snaps out a sign "give me money...."
The press is all up Trump’s ass. They rush to announce Trump’s “appeal” without checking the facts.
Katie Fang is the exception. They are like the British tabloids.
The worst is the Vichy Times, as Ethereal Fairy Natalie calls it. The Times was taken over by far right Brit, Mark Thompson who is now making CNN into far right media, but they all suck!
I can’t think of anyone more deserving of an ACME rocket up the wazzoo. 🧨

Can anyone explain to me why the Trump Times are fellating him so hard? He hates them. They're very likely to be victims of his "day one dictatorship." What the fuck is in it for them, the taste of his mushroom sauce??
Times is the 'socially liberal but financially conservative' crowd. They want to keep their tax cuts even though ours times out soon. 2025 IIRC.
"Fiscally conservative" means "we want all the benefits of society but don't want to pay for anyone else to get them."
So parasites. Fitting.
That's perfect Blue. Social liberals, but their shell accounts say otherwise. One can choke to death just on hypocrisy alone these days.
If only they would Lisa59!
My question is what will those rags do when P01135809 loses? “Oooops my bad” will not cut it.
But that's all we're getting.

I canceled too. Every headline was totally pro trump they just throw a suit and tie on it
Lovely description!
Bonus points if you mention the age of the editorial staff or the fact they're stumping for a guy who will throw them up against the wall if he wins.

Where did you find the movie?

The extraordinary documentary Shoah also does not include any film of the camps but instead relies on witness testimony. It is chilling and gripping.
Agreed. I have it on CD(s). An incredible, groundbreaking documentary--poignant and chilling.
I bet you just made a superior review to theirs, film critics tend to be arrogant jerks.
You should post it on their comment site. So others can realize the contrast.
I thought about doing just that. Thank you for the encouragement.
Please do! I always enjoy reading a review that is more nuanced, especially when the (often young) reviewer who doesn't know history misses the point.
I bet others will appreciate it too.
Thank you, again.

I did too !
Absolutely Linda! I did that yesterday and Jeff’s column today with Commentary would have totally convinced me.
I remember when Biden won and still we had to wait because trump was still having his “witch hunt,” hissy fits! Geez Louise it’s still happening!
Will it ever end?
It will end when Trump is in prison or dead. Even The Times will have difficulty fawning over a convicted felon.
I doubt we'll be free of him even in death. They'll just make him a martyr, remember the hysteria at the funeral of Ayatollah Khomeini? They refused to believe he was dead, and swarmed the pall bearers, spilling the corpse out of the coffin.
That'll be the magas.
Damn, you're right. What the hell are we going to do?

Then "everybody" is breaking the law.
“If ‘everybody else’ was jumping off a cliff would you do that too?” That’s what our parents used to tell us when we were looking to join a really bad activity. ‘Everybody else’ doesn’t have the best judgement and some of them are doing time for it.
Including trumpolini's accountant.
Tell him everyone licks skunk anuses to see if he'll try that.
You are so freaking weird, as in awesome. Damn. Respect.
Along those lines, let me tell a quick story; I recently heard a friend's teenager complain that their school was stingy with washroom breaks. I told them I only ever had a problem with that once.
"Once?" she gasped, wide-eyed, looking at me like a dog who's just been shown a card trick.
"Yeah. And I said "Look, teacher - you can let me go there, or you can let me go on your desk. That's all I got time for. Your pick."
I seemed to have a permanent hall pass after that.
Oh shit!!😂😂😂
Literally!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I do enjoy the small times in which I can be useful.
Gross but funny. Looks like you are a cat person. We have a porch cat like the one in your picture. I call him Slim Shady.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂☠️
I don't lose many arguments.
I’ll bet! 🤣😂
Even my own mum eventually learned to stop trying. And she had been the one to teach me, if more by example than on purpose.
I have a daughter like that. She always has the perfect answer to anything anyone says. Especially if it is a put down.
Ahahaha hahaha 🍻 rotflmao
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Tell him good luck doing it himself.
"Everybody does it?"
Jesus wept.
Right. I just cant.....
Omg I just went through this w one w someone who is such a good person.
He actually said to me
He deserves to win for everything they put him through
That he is stronger then Reagan ever was and no one could survive this like trump can
E jean carroll is crazy and it never happened
We don't Need NATO
The fraud is a lie they are out to get him
Biden is a criminal
I felt like i was in the movie Invasion of the Body Snatchers!@
WHOA. It's surreal, isnt it? Plain, obvious evidence is out there and they STILL wont believe it. I am seriously looking at moving from the United States if the fascists win. I just can't....
I know !!! I just can't even believe thud is what it's coming to!

Here comes Jeff!!!!!!!!! Good morning from Sausalito...we have sunshine here. You spread sunshine every day, even if the news is dark.
Yes, and good morning Jeff from Lakeport CA, just north of Sausalito. You are widely read.
Good morning from beautiful Palm Springs, CA! I love starting my day with you guys!
Nice day in San Joe too
Jeff knows how to throw a party!
The orange faced bullshitter is also a troubled turd tosser. When repugs are drowning, throw them an anchor.
I also like bloated yam.
Czar Cheeto, Crappy Pappy or Demented Diaperload Donny, perhaps? 🤷♀️
🤣🤣
Shitgibbon. Or Emperor Shitstain.
Donna is at the mike doing her schtick!
😁
Oh I love the Bloated yam name
Barking Yam, Papaya pot Pol, Canteloupe Caligula, Malignant Melon, my favorite of all is from Evan at wonkette: "Yap-Yap Von Fuckstick.".
A friend was keeping a list, she had close to a thousand on it.
Too bad outhouses have gone out of fashion. The NYT print edition would make a fine toilet paper.
All the news that’s fit to shit.
🤣🤣🤣
love it
💩💩💩💩💩🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
We could send all our used copies of the New York Times 📰 to Russia where (I think) it’s at least 40% of the population still uses an outhouse.
It would be great for my birds to shit on but for TP it’s terribly expensive.
It might poison them, I doubt they use biodegradable ink, because that would be too woke.
🤣🤣🤣🤣💩
This is living in a really fucked up, really bad, completely weird, totally awful circus where the clown car keeps racing around on circles while the scary clowns keep pushing each other around as they keep tripping over their giant gold sneakers and bashing their heads together. The ringmaster stands in the middle with a whip that snaps out a sign "give me money...."
for fucks sake....🙄🙄🤷♀️🤷♀️
That was like watching a 5 second horror movie !!!! Lol🤡🤡
A mini version of hell on wheels !😵💫🤷♀️
Insert Mango meme "accurate!"
The press is all up Trump’s ass. They rush to announce Trump’s “appeal” without checking the facts.
Katie Fang is the exception. They are like the British tabloids.
The worst is the Vichy Times, as Ethereal Fairy Natalie calls it. The Times was taken over by far right Brit, Mark Thompson who is now making CNN into far right media, but they all suck!
It's spelled PHANG 😊
You are right. I got her name mixed up with TikTok’s Katie Fang.
Thank you.
I want to see a photo of Letitia James seated at 40 Wall Street with her shoes off, her feet on the desk, drinking a Starbucks coffee.
Signing the deed over !
I just posted my freak out post again
And then I read this
Thank you!!!🤣🤣🤣😀😀
The New York Times is an absolute joke at this point.
Trump Times* FTFY
