I've updated my post, because it's been only 22 hours since Donny announced his latest peace deal, and he's already gone back to making threats. that was fast.
I really hope it's true that the Iranians are taking his posts as nothing but bombast. We could not have imagined a US president shitting out his version of foreign policy, threats against foreign enemies, and lies upon lies upon lies on a crappy social media platform that he controls? I remember the first time I saw the presidential seal on his Twitter account; I was incredulous that he was permitted to spew his insane drivel right out in the open AS PRESIDENT!! JFC we were such innocent babies then.
No one is observing the absurdity of Trump claiming to be negotiating in Good Faith while he tells the world, out loud, that he wants to steal the Iranian's oil.
The Iranians are playing him for the fool that he is. Some "experts" think that Iran's strategy is delaying the negotiations to run out the election clock to November. They forget the Persian Empire began 2,600 years ago. A few months is an eye blink to them. They are looking down the road for generations. While Donnie tells the Press "two or three more days". Clueless. Maroon. There's a better strategy than insults and bombs.
I am remembering my thoughts about Trump during Covid and thinking as the MAGAs all whinned to get back in person how they would not be so eager to go out if bombs were dropping on them, but it is clear that unless bombs are dropping on them they have no idea what is going on with Trump and the world. That is, I believe, his target audience for his pronouncements, as well as "the market."
Donny is losing his shit because he's FINALLY attempting to 'negotiate' . . . i.e. scam, con, lie to, cheat a party that's totally willing to go toe to toe with him
Iran is refusing to cave and that's driving him (even more) nuts!
Mr. Art of the Deal's ego is being clobbered . , , publicly.
When does "rope a dope" enter the meme verse again? It's obvious the Iranians are roping the dope. There must be someone smart in the Pentagon or WH who can see this. But they are afraid of the maniac in the Oval.
This is why, when I'm reading my headlines newsletters, I skip everything about Iran. I know what it will say: peace deal/bomb them off the map/peace deal/invade.
He steals our election for a dementia ridden criminal moron, then becomes a trillionaire and we all get to go fuck ourselves.
What an unjust world. Allowing these two assholes either of those titles — president or trillionaire — when we all know that neither of them are even worth the fucks it took to make them.
My daughter pointed out that messing with voting machines was the scheme in the show “Scandal” that got Fitz the Presidency. Who knew Elon was a Shonda fan?
Oh, it will. He's only buoyed by technophile bros who buy his bullshit and his bullshit products. He is a con man like drumpf. He runs his companies as a shell game, shifting and hiding assets. SpaceX bought hundreds of Cyberwhatthefucks from Tesla, since that monstrosity is an overpriced piece of junk. Tesla cars are beset by glitches. His Boring Company overpromises and underdelivers, just like all of his grandiose ventures.
Maybe that’s a little bit unfair… running shell games/pyramid schemes/& selling the bs 24/7 does take effort… 🇺🇸 Americans just have to ‘fall back in love’ with the UNgreedy… I wonder if it’s even possible.
He's been a junkie since his 20's, a time (he wrote) when he was popping LSD to enhance his enjoyment of sporting events. So he has a global network of drug pimps.
All “masters of the universe,” like the Mellons, Rockefellers, etc are no longer in power. So it will be either this latest round of individuals.
But I must disagree on one point. My 2018 Tesla Model 3 is the most perfect car I’ve ever had. I spend $12 per month to charge it and it is so very dependable. Don’t bad mouth our Teslas! But I do have anti-Elon stickers on it!
I'm happy for you. Has it had many recalls? Make sure you have a window breaking tool in it in case the electronic doors don't open and you need to exit pronto.
That round of people were philanthropists. The robber barons also funded schools, libraries, parks, museums, symphonies and more. A friend of mine bought a crumbling, abandoned Carnegie library in Cleveland built in 1904, a jewel of a building ·ten-sided) and poured more than a million dollars into turning it into a jewel of an arts center. Philanthropists used to do stuff like this. Here in Cleveland we had Rockefellers, Carnegies, Severances, Gunds and more. One of the few similar cases I can think of today is back home in Chicago where everything is Pritzker, a very rich family that actually endows things. Well, Ken Griffin did slap his name on the Museum of Science and Industry, but what have the Uihleins done to benefit anyone? Sitting in Illinois, they successfully funded the defeat of a fair redistricting bill in Ohio.
But the Index Funds will buy into this scam and people's retirement accounts will take the hit. How can an IPO leave him with 80% ownership of the new 'public' company???
The fallout from this will be spectacular. Since I am so risk averse when it comes to money, I don't keep my retirement savings in stocks (yes I know I've lost lots of potential gains but I don't care) I may actually be able to buy a house in the coming great depression. That is unless they abolish the FDIC and steal even more from us.
And he's gotten the SEC to relax rules about indices buying new IPO stock right away, while Musk has worked on those indices to actually buy his stock. But he maintains total control of a company that has lost billions. Those indices probably include most of our retirement income.
If you read Paul Krugman, you’ll be on the phone with your broker trying to get out of the mutual funds tied to the NASDAQ index. I don’t understand why these crazy con men get away with going outside of the norms and rules.
It's time we diagnose a lot of the billionares as "money addicts," which we would if the urge was not so all pervasive. In AA they say "One drink is too many and a thousand is not enough." Something similar could be said about a wannabe trillionaire. Does anyone believe Musk is happy or even satisfied with his life?
All Elonia can think of doing with his trillions is drug himself insensible. (I hope he miscalculates some day, very soon.) Every interview with him reveals him to be vacuous and inarticulate. Just another con man, out there conning.
If your pension manager, 401K provider, or you in your IRA didn’t remove your money from a Nasdaq fund and put it in an S&P500 fund, you’re buying SpaceX today. In that case, your best bet is to place a sell order out of the Nasdaq fund and hope it clears before Musk cashes out next week.
I mean who doesnt love a good brad pitt movie , uncle jeff?
lol.
The Cornyn parallel is as ironic and Shithead's mental unhealth , Jeff.
He voted with the orange pants shitter 99% of the time, licked the boot until the leather shone — and the boot kicked him anyway. Now John Cornyn, beaten in his own primary, says it to the paper of record: November will be a "disaster." There is a sound a thing makes when it cracks from the inside, and it's in every line of that interview — goalposts on wheels, loyalty that bought nothing.
He is a fucking traitor sycophant. He kissed trumps ass until he threw him to the curb and now everyone around is supposed to see how honorable he is. He is a fucking piece of shit and got exactly what he deserved. I lived in Texas over fifty years and the politicians there are all fucking corrupt pieces of shit. I hope Cornyn has a miserable rest of his disgraceful life.
A favorite of mine too. I don't know if you watched Deadwood, but one of my favorite scenes is when the town Madam talks Calamity Jane into taking a bath. I won't share the clip, but a YouTube search for "deadwood calamity jane hot bath" will get you there. It's so good.
"we’re stuck in this groundhog day tragicomedy because Trump acted on impulse in a vast act of executive self-soothing, and now he is unable to move forward because ... that requires facing the consequences of his own actions, which he is entirely unable to accept."
Really torn here… this war benefits a lot of folks behind the scenes - and Congress coulda stopped it… feels like a plan to me - maybe he’s the scapegoat but he’s getting paid well for … any discomfort ? Change My Mind
Now then - My insomnia is kicking in hard, last two nights have been very tough. Just me, or you, too? I pep talk myself all day long. I tell myself we'll be just fine, but in bed at night my body goes fuck no, we're not going to be fine, and that's it for sleep. I'm relying way too much on gummies, and they're not even working. Jeff is correct. This situation is not sustainable.
Aw, Ann — i’m so sorry. It sounds as of the stress of Everything has done a number on your autonomic nervous system, putting you in fight or flight mode. If there is a qualified biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist near you, they might be able to help
My nerves are shot. Thanks for the suggestion but fewer doctor appts the better as far as I'm concerned. Going to the pot dispensary today. Easier solution.
Can a therapist remove the psycho felon from the White House? I appreciate the suggestions, guys, but sometimes life is just difficult. I shouldn't have complained. Pointless.
I have no suggestions but share the pain. I was wondering lately if I shouldn't just "Embrace the Fall" and quit flailing. Then I read how Rep. Jaime Raskin lost his beautiful, brilliant son (age 25, attending Harvard) but went on to impeach Trump, survive cancer, slug it out against the MAGATs in Congress, and yesterday introduce a bill to invoke the 25th Amendment against Shitler. So yes we can continue to fight.
What we're living through is ongoing abuse. Complain, vent, commiserate, kvetch, dump it all out here because you know you aren't alone with these feelings of dread and the chronic insomnia. It's truly more than our brains and bodies can bear. The "root cause" isn't going away, so how do we survive this except together? Numbing it with gummies has got to be better than drowning it in alcohol (in my unsolicited opinion 😋). I hope you can get a little relief from the pressure. I'm averaging 5 hours a night myself and the nightmares are wicked bad. Hang in there, Ann. ❤️
Thanks for understanding and right back atcha. Anxiety is a reasonable response to unchecked insanity. I'm determined to outlive the orange motherfucker and see better days. Praying for a good night's sleep for both of us.
I was able to find a therapist that I can do "Zoom" meetings because sometimes I can't leave the house or drive. (My medications make me dopey.) She has been great. She has encouraged me to get involved making phone calls, going to Marches, volunteering at the polls, etc. Reach out to old friends. Find like minded people. Pamper yourself. Return to a hobby you used to enjoy. (Adult coloring books are my go to.) Read or watch positive stories before bed. We got this. We are all going to be alright. Take care of you first. 💛
SleepAid from Costco. Cheap and so effective its better to start with a half tablet. Probably contains something that will eventually kill you. Win-win-win.
The rapidity of fatfuck’s decline, matched by his increasing resort to outright vile racist remarks at every opportunity, show just how detached from reality he is, and places new challenges for the sycophants who make their own idiocies public. No one can out-crazy him. But that won’t stop them from trying. When will the pain outweigh any entertainment value voters take from this time? (And who will be the next cabinet member to be forced out?)
It’s really hard not to be sad and angry all the time, and I just want to thank you for helping all of us get through each day.
How much in insider trading gains did his crime family reap from his TACO on the Iran strikes? Shameless, soulless, money-grubbing crooks. When they die, instead of being buried they can just be twisted into the ground like corkscrews
And yes...clearly the felon is off his rocker. Now I'm reading the threats to Social Security little Mike Johnson is making. Very upsetting. Our money, they're stealing it.
Hope the weather forecasts are right and the lightning strikes hard and often on the white trash birthday party.
“The crowd at the White House UFC fight will be one of the most diverse ever. There will be convicted felons, rapists, pedophiles, sex traffickers, domestic abusers and in surrectionists…”
Just wait until after he disappears into Walter Reed for the last time. As the debris is being cleaned up, every single one of these complicit motherfuckers will deny they ever had anything to do with it (probably while secretly arranging some cultish Lost Cause version of events).
This is why these people need to go to prison, exactly as though they'd robbed a 7-11 instead of the American people. Musk needs to be tried and convicted, his assets divided among all those who were harmed. No immunity at first. A series of humiliating trials broadcast live, followed by swift convictions.
A few good prosecutions to establish a precedent, then the threat of same to revamp capitalism and the tax code. You watch all these cowards snap into line.
There is no rule about in the Constitution about needing only nine Justices in the Supreme Court, either. No Congressional approval is required beyond confirmation. We could have thirteen Justices in a month if the will was there.
His political donors and foreign adversaries know he's an incompetent, narcissistic, sociopathic failure. As long as they can continue to manipulate him, they will support him. Mental illness? As long as they can say "nice tie" and he hands out tax cuts and compartmentalized intelligence files, why would they stop?
Jeff lovely photos of Claudia&Katie. Love the graph too. That Racist, Pedo, Imbecile, Has to GO! I Can’t express my Loathsomeness of the Lying, Con, Grifter! Aaaagggghhhhh!!
Stock indexes are change their rules to prop up SpaceX? Oh fuck all the way off. We don't have financial markets. We have a carefully orchestrated shell game where we the bottom 99% always lose. ETA: Per Krugman's post today.
I've updated my post, because it's been only 22 hours since Donny announced his latest peace deal, and he's already gone back to making threats. that was fast.

The Straits of Schrödinger shall never relinquish their grip upon us!
And Iran
Iran so far away
Iran, Iran all night and day
I couldn't get away
Love that song.
That’s because we’re entangled with Iran.
I see what you did there. Meanwhile, Ima going to Maine to get me some Japan lobster
I really hope it's true that the Iranians are taking his posts as nothing but bombast. We could not have imagined a US president shitting out his version of foreign policy, threats against foreign enemies, and lies upon lies upon lies on a crappy social media platform that he controls? I remember the first time I saw the presidential seal on his Twitter account; I was incredulous that he was permitted to spew his insane drivel right out in the open AS PRESIDENT!! JFC we were such innocent babies then.
bombast preferable to bomb blast
I find it interesting that within that post he lists off countries that are in agreement of his "newest deal". The one country missing.....IRAN!!!!
No one is observing the absurdity of Trump claiming to be negotiating in Good Faith while he tells the world, out loud, that he wants to steal the Iranian's oil.
The Iranians are playing him for the fool that he is. Some "experts" think that Iran's strategy is delaying the negotiations to run out the election clock to November. They forget the Persian Empire began 2,600 years ago. A few months is an eye blink to them. They are looking down the road for generations. While Donnie tells the Press "two or three more days". Clueless. Maroon. There's a better strategy than insults and bombs.
I'm sure they get together and have laugh fests every time Donny starts spewing.
I am remembering my thoughts about Trump during Covid and thinking as the MAGAs all whinned to get back in person how they would not be so eager to go out if bombs were dropping on them, but it is clear that unless bombs are dropping on them they have no idea what is going on with Trump and the world. That is, I believe, his target audience for his pronouncements, as well as "the market."
That was one of your best, Jeff. I’m sending it to friends who really need a big dose of reality. Thanks. 👍🙏
Donny is losing his shit because he's FINALLY attempting to 'negotiate' . . . i.e. scam, con, lie to, cheat a party that's totally willing to go toe to toe with him

today in Shit That Happened While I Was Busy Writing This Shit—
the Space Nazi's really going to become a trillionaire, isn't he. it's so infuriating. he's even a bigger con artist than Dear Leader
https://www.theguardian.com/business/live/2026/jun/12/spacex-float-us-stock-market-share-elon-musk-trillionaire-largest-ipo-ever-live-news-updates
He steals our election for a dementia ridden criminal moron, then becomes a trillionaire and we all get to go fuck ourselves.
What an unjust world. Allowing these two assholes either of those titles — president or trillionaire — when we all know that neither of them are even worth the fucks it took to make them.
George Carlin had all of this fuckery figured out 50 years ago. Everybody laughed, but nobody really paid any attention.
Joe Witkowski, so true.
My daughter pointed out that messing with voting machines was the scheme in the show “Scandal” that got Fitz the Presidency. Who knew Elon was a Shonda fan?
Except that is a thing that never happened except on a tv show.
"worth the fucks it took to make them" Holy crusty coitus, Batman. I'ma steal that. 😂😂
Still waiting for the (ax)iom to fall on these self absorbed, greedy mofos
The bigger they are the harder they fall
He didn't "steal our election," except by spending a ridiculous amount of money on ads. We need to repeal Citizens United.
I hope Elon’s trillionaire status goes fuckity bye when it doesn’t perform up to expectations.
Oh, it will. He's only buoyed by technophile bros who buy his bullshit and his bullshit products. He is a con man like drumpf. He runs his companies as a shell game, shifting and hiding assets. SpaceX bought hundreds of Cyberwhatthefucks from Tesla, since that monstrosity is an overpriced piece of junk. Tesla cars are beset by glitches. His Boring Company overpromises and underdelivers, just like all of his grandiose ventures.
Another Hype Man that ppl desperately want to believe HAS ALL THE ANSWERS… sad
Paul Krugman called him on it in his piece today called, "Elon Musk, Human Ponzi Scheme."
https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/elon-musk-human-ponzi-scheme?r=f0qfn&utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web
Another slap in the face of authentic, hardworking ppl who really DO the work and pull themselves up by their own bootstraps… GeezUS.
Maybe that’s a little bit unfair… running shell games/pyramid schemes/& selling the bs 24/7 does take effort… 🇺🇸 Americans just have to ‘fall back in love’ with the UNgreedy… I wonder if it’s even possible.
“that ppl desperately want to believe HAS ALL THE ANSWERS…”
That’s it in a nutshell. All the Answers must be known by one man. It’s all very simple if you believe it’s very simple.
‘Wrong & Strong” vs ‘right & weak’… WTG America 🇺🇸
I’m hoping he does business with Matthew Perry’s ketamine dealer.
He's been a junkie since his 20's, a time (he wrote) when he was popping LSD to enhance his enjoyment of sporting events. So he has a global network of drug pimps.
I'm looking forward to the breaking news regarding his overdose. No, I am not one whit hesitant to say such a thing--not about him.
What's not to like about a giant rolling prison toilet? 😂
He's another psychopath!
And thieL exits stage left - right before the ‘historic’ ipo
All “masters of the universe,” like the Mellons, Rockefellers, etc are no longer in power. So it will be either this latest round of individuals.
But I must disagree on one point. My 2018 Tesla Model 3 is the most perfect car I’ve ever had. I spend $12 per month to charge it and it is so very dependable. Don’t bad mouth our Teslas! But I do have anti-Elon stickers on it!
I'm happy for you. Has it had many recalls? Make sure you have a window breaking tool in it in case the electronic doors don't open and you need to exit pronto.
SpaceX market cap $2.1tn
Microsoft market cap $2.8tn
SpaceX revenue ~$20bn
Microsoft revenue ~$300bn
Incredible.
-@gilesyb.bsky.social
He wasn’t the inventor / developer
He bought Tesla from the founders of the company
Yes. From the geniuses
That round of people were philanthropists. The robber barons also funded schools, libraries, parks, museums, symphonies and more. A friend of mine bought a crumbling, abandoned Carnegie library in Cleveland built in 1904, a jewel of a building ·ten-sided) and poured more than a million dollars into turning it into a jewel of an arts center. Philanthropists used to do stuff like this. Here in Cleveland we had Rockefellers, Carnegies, Severances, Gunds and more. One of the few similar cases I can think of today is back home in Chicago where everything is Pritzker, a very rich family that actually endows things. Well, Ken Griffin did slap his name on the Museum of Science and Industry, but what have the Uihleins done to benefit anyone? Sitting in Illinois, they successfully funded the defeat of a fair redistricting bill in Ohio.
I feel badly for those of you that bought Teslas for all the right reasons before Musk went and showed us all who he really is.
We own a Ford Mach-E. Nice to have an electric car in our stable with the price of gas these days…
But the Index Funds will buy into this scam and people's retirement accounts will take the hit. How can an IPO leave him with 80% ownership of the new 'public' company???
'Cuz he's a crooked oligarch who gets special treatment
Kinda like the sub prime mortgage thingy… triple AAA ratings amirite (in the bundle :)
Just hoping he doesn’t take us all down with it
Elon, unlike the purchasers at the IPO who are locked in for months, can sell his shares immediately, before SpaceX goes belly-up.
Beyond a sweetheart deal
If that were the case he'd already be gone. He's slightly behind Trump in the promise-breaking.
The fallout from this will be spectacular. Since I am so risk averse when it comes to money, I don't keep my retirement savings in stocks (yes I know I've lost lots of potential gains but I don't care) I may actually be able to buy a house in the coming great depression. That is unless they abolish the FDIC and steal even more from us.
I'm praying for the same thing to happen to his SpaceX ass happened to Tesla. Elon's overweening ego sank it right into the ground.
The Guardian is my go-to for the truth, just sayin'.
And I love your beautiful, touching family pix!
And he's gotten the SEC to relax rules about indices buying new IPO stock right away, while Musk has worked on those indices to actually buy his stock. But he maintains total control of a company that has lost billions. Those indices probably include most of our retirement income.
I just overheard the slush fund was blocked.just this second.Anyone else? It could be an acid flashback.
According to The Atlantic, that fucker Blanche is going full speed ahead but quietly.

Atlantic article is out of date. Mike Hammer is right. A judge just blocked it again.
If you read Paul Krugman, you’ll be on the phone with your broker trying to get out of the mutual funds tied to the NASDAQ index. I don’t understand why these crazy con men get away with going outside of the norms and rules.

Paul Krugman called Elno a "human Ponzi scheme" 😂
A pox on anyone who buys his stupid SpaceX shares.
Most of the buyers will be involuntary.
https://substack.com/@paulkrugman/note/p-201723331?r=a163y
The important question is how long will he stay a trillionaire?
The stock will start to collapse the second it starts to trade.
IPO purchasers are not allowed to sell for the first few months.
Elon, however, can sell.
It's time we diagnose a lot of the billionares as "money addicts," which we would if the urge was not so all pervasive. In AA they say "One drink is too many and a thousand is not enough." Something similar could be said about a wannabe trillionaire. Does anyone believe Musk is happy or even satisfied with his life?
Don't care
All Elonia can think of doing with his trillions is drug himself insensible. (I hope he miscalculates some day, very soon.) Every interview with him reveals him to be vacuous and inarticulate. Just another con man, out there conning.
If your pension manager, 401K provider, or you in your IRA didn’t remove your money from a Nasdaq fund and put it in an S&P500 fund, you’re buying SpaceX today. In that case, your best bet is to place a sell order out of the Nasdaq fund and hope it clears before Musk cashes out next week.

Drumpf is surrounded by dicks
He fucked up game 3 for the Knicks!
For hours fans waited
While Drumpf masturbafed
To pix of his mom, he's so sick!
And he crushes on his own freaking daughter
As he leads the US to the slaughter
Demented and heinous
He smells like an anus
America's now worth a quarter.
The lifelong depraved corrupt fuck
Has Made America Suck
He's a rapist con crook
Who never earned what he took
But could never pass up a buck
He never could pass up a buck
Because all of his businesses suck
The banks bailed him out
Because he'd scream and he'd pout
"I'm the best ever, yuk yuk!"
From February:
The conman who considers everyone a sucker
Cannot feel his dead sphincter pucker
Despite Blanche's deflecting
The world is expecting
Your downfall. Ticktock, motherfucker

I always read what Jeff has to say.
only listen (occasionally) to audio of the shit spewing out of Trump's mouth
get as much info as I can tolerate, and then avert my eyes and ears so it doesn't bury me
because I know enough to despise the assholes who are doing this shit
I don't watch horror movies or gore - because I don't need that filth poisoning my soul
so, for starters, be your own best caretaker. recognize your limits . . . you want to know what's happening, but don't linger on the details
and partition off what you need to into a file called 'Stuff I Hate But I Can't Fix it Just Yet'
Have you tried the gummies with the added CBG for sleep? (1:1:1, thc/cbd/cbg)
A couple of those and it's lights out.
I was able to find a therapist that I can do "Zoom" meetings because sometimes I can't leave the house or drive. (My medications make me dopey.) She has been great. She has encouraged me to get involved making phone calls, going to Marches, volunteering at the polls, etc. Reach out to old friends. Find like minded people. Pamper yourself. Return to a hobby you used to enjoy. (Adult coloring books are my go to.) Read or watch positive stories before bed. We got this. We are all going to be alright. Take care of you first. 💛
SleepAid from Costco. Cheap and so effective its better to start with a half tablet. Probably contains something that will eventually kill you. Win-win-win.
Well, take another route. I like to sleep to get away from it all.
Raise your hand if you are sick of this demented jerk who should be in an old folk’s home or under the ground (preferably)!
👋
MEEEEEEEEE!!!! 🙌

Both hands are raised! I want some decency brought back into my life! May the mob boss expire asap
Me! 👋
The rapidity of fatfuck’s decline, matched by his increasing resort to outright vile racist remarks at every opportunity, show just how detached from reality he is, and places new challenges for the sycophants who make their own idiocies public. No one can out-crazy him. But that won’t stop them from trying. When will the pain outweigh any entertainment value voters take from this time? (And who will be the next cabinet member to be forced out?)
It’s really hard not to be sad and angry all the time, and I just want to thank you for helping all of us get through each day.
It says something worse about Republicans in general.
How much in insider trading gains did his crime family reap from his TACO on the Iran strikes? Shameless, soulless, money-grubbing crooks. When they die, instead of being buried they can just be twisted into the ground like corkscrews
That’s why Barron‘s been MIA. He’s been trading futures.
The piece of shit did not fall far from the piece of shit tree
Fabulous photos...Katie is a gorgeous baby!
And yes...clearly the felon is off his rocker. Now I'm reading the threats to Social Security little Mike Johnson is making. Very upsetting. Our money, they're stealing it.
Hope the weather forecasts are right and the lightning strikes hard and often on the white trash birthday party.
They’ve been stealing it for 50 years. Raise the cap!
Take it before those fuckers break it. Ironically I start taking it in early mid-term November
Maybe they'll let trump hold the trophy during the thunderstorm.
Just hand him a hot wire
“The crowd at the White House UFC fight will be one of the most diverse ever. There will be convicted felons, rapists, pedophiles, sex traffickers, domestic abusers and in surrectionists…”

They will exhume Fred Blassie to be the lead asshole
Just wait until after he disappears into Walter Reed for the last time. As the debris is being cleaned up, every single one of these complicit motherfuckers will deny they ever had anything to do with it (probably while secretly arranging some cultish Lost Cause version of events).
This is why these people need to go to prison, exactly as though they'd robbed a 7-11 instead of the American people. Musk needs to be tried and convicted, his assets divided among all those who were harmed. No immunity at first. A series of humiliating trials broadcast live, followed by swift convictions.
A few good prosecutions to establish a precedent, then the threat of same to revamp capitalism and the tax code. You watch all these cowards snap into line.
There is no rule about in the Constitution about needing only nine Justices in the Supreme Court, either. No Congressional approval is required beyond confirmation. We could have thirteen Justices in a month if the will was there.
The will had better be there pretty damned soon. My pitchfork is getting restless.
Jack Smith, a very experienced war crimes prosecutor had them there. The congressional cock suckers let them off the hook.
He’s still around. Guy’s got my vote
Appoint him to AG, his old boss's position. Then see how fast those old fat asses can haul it.
The Mueller Report was a crock. I knew our future then.
I TOTALLY AGREE! IT HAS TO HAPPEN. But, will it ?
The only thing Donnie the “builder” has ever “built” is that rank ass mound of shit he keeps collecting in his diaper.
He’s a taker, a destroyer, a user and an abuser.
I love the graphs. No, No but in Yellow.
One of my favorites used…the graph of No😄
You had me at baby and mom pics….🥲❤️
Thank you Jeff.
His political donors and foreign adversaries know he's an incompetent, narcissistic, sociopathic failure. As long as they can continue to manipulate him, they will support him. Mental illness? As long as they can say "nice tie" and he hands out tax cuts and compartmentalized intelligence files, why would they stop?
Before his latest cognitive test with the camel, he had a previous test with a squirrel. From May:
Ain't he a pearl
He can ID a squirrel
He knowed when he spied one
Just like he has done
To each Teen USA pageant girl
*WEEKEND AT DONNIE’S*
Jeff lovely photos of Claudia&Katie. Love the graph too. That Racist, Pedo, Imbecile, Has to GO! I Can’t express my Loathsomeness of the Lying, Con, Grifter! Aaaagggghhhhh!!
Stock indexes are change their rules to prop up SpaceX? Oh fuck all the way off. We don't have financial markets. We have a carefully orchestrated shell game where we the bottom 99% always lose. ETA: Per Krugman's post today.
