He must be mutilizing Jennings back to what ever it was before the awful mutilization was in its unmutilized state and get Ted back to Georgia and leave him there.
You’ll never guess where the debris from the East Wing, which you’ll never guess is contaminated with toxic metals and PCBs, got dumped. Big piles o’ debris have been deposited around the East Potomac Golf Course. The one some FA wants to tear up to remake as a Drumpf course as part of his goal to turn Washington, DC, into Trump National Capital and Club LLC.
Great place to dump a few truckloads of highly contaminated waste Bob…it will find its way into the Potomac, to join the raw sewage that flowed previously.
sprayed with a can of Krylon gold-coloured paint. Gold plating would take far too long, is very involved and no one would want to touch his rotting carcass during THAT process. Just a quick Pffft with the paint (as
he does with that plastic shit in OUR WH) and be done with him. ;)
Let's clarify: Ivana was not a 'loved one' of HIS - only of his daughter's. But I don't believe she's in that casket which was SO HEAVY the 'big, strong' pallbearers nearly dropped it (she was tiny, weighed very little). Nope, what many of us believe is in that 'golf course/cemetery' are the rest of the missing files absconded with from the WH.
Frankly, I've always believed that she was cremated and in an urn on her daughter's mantel while they faked 'her' burial, but instead used it to hide those so inconvenient files - and of course then claim the site as a 'cemetery' to not only avoid paying taxes BUT also ensure no one digs 'her' up? Perfectly on brand for the scam artist?
YET it's a public Golf Course which is very popular (from what I've heard) so those who use it are absolutely FURIOUS by this attempted take over of their course. The orange fuckwit has SO MANY places he can golf - why try to take over that one? Just because he thinks he's a fucking king and can do anything he chooses? What a POS. Meanwhile, anyone who knows ANYTHING about building, especially the taking down of OLD buildings - would be fully aware that there would be asbestos used on the walls or ceilings in any previous sheetrock repair AND if it needed to be replaced, MUST be done by tenting/encapsulating the entire thing with the crew wearing what amount to hazmat suits...AND the asbestos needs to be disposed of at specific places BY Pros. He just had machinery come in to knock down the East Wing without bothering to get a single permit or have anyone check the walls.. THIS is how I know frump has zero clue about being a 'builder'. All he's ever done is borrow money from banks and stick his name on projects he then calls 'his'. Always a con...always a fucking scam.
Yes - he's been a lifelong racist as was his KKK daddy, so it's astonishing to me how ANY black person votes for, let alone signs on with his magat crew. Do they somehow still not know what a rotten racist POS he'll ALWAYS be? Surely, though - he wouldn't want to PLAY on a golf course which was 'tainted' (as his kind of racist believes) by black folk? Well, excepting Tiger Woods of course. He still claims he beat him lol.
This is why I no longer read Iran coverage, especially if it refers to something Trump or anyone in his administration "said." It will be contradicted within an hour.
YES! The 3 Meiselas Brothers (Ben, the oldest and the lawyer of the three) deciding to give up their regular jobs to fight back against this fucking regime AND when they find other young, equally good online journalists they invite them onboard. Just night before last Adam Mockler (whom I've followed for a while and only recently realized was part of the Meidas group) was invited onto MSNow with Stephanie Ruehle. Adam's all of 24. VERY nice, intelligent, soft-spoken, and can clean up the language like Brian Tyler Cohen when required. I follow so many of these people (including the women) who have their fingers on the pulse of REAL TRUTH. It's also too cool to see them recognized by MSNow which already has Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O Donnell (weird how frump NEVER tries to fire back at him?) Nicolle Wallace, Jake Soborow (brilliant reporter who's been in the field for ages and is now stepping in to host here and there). Jen Psaki is becoming far more feisty of late - less 'protective' of her image, so I've been impressed by her seemingly new-found humour and outspokenness. She also gets a lot of great guests who're the real deal (Marc Elias and Neal Katyal - 2 Attorneys who fight for US in front of SCOTuS, are both brilliant).
Brian Stelter had this item in his newsletter today:
With President Trump, sometimes a seemingly random aside can reveal something much bigger about his media consumption and understanding of the world.
"I am at, according to CNN, 100% approval within the Republican Party," he said yesterday.
There is no such CNN poll. But Trump, during a photo op with schoolchildren, said, "I'm at 100% approval. Did you see the CNN poll? Nobody talks about it."
Nobody talks about it because it's not real. But Trump invoked this stat repeatedly in March, April and now May, apparently reacting to a segment that CNN's Harry Enten led back on March 18. He showed a poll by NBC News, not CNN, that showed him with a 100% approval rating among self-identified MAGA voters.
me too! Lev's son - I follow him on Instagram, sends out updates several times a day and is always accurate with his news. He's always attacked purely for BEING Lev's son, while those folks forget that the man got suckered into frump's circle - but got out when he recognized what it was all about. His son is a real straight shooter.
According to the CNN article (I only read the blurb at the top), Netanyahu is worried and is asserting his control over Donald and the negotiations so he doesn't give up anything important to Bibi. Bibi does not GAS about Donald's popularity.
Possibly, although not likely Robert. Trumps mind has gone fucketey-bye-bye. He can’t be bothered with expert opinion, only those of quislings and goniffs!
I think he just says shit that he thinks will shut people up. He hates to hear complaints and objections. So, he'll just spout off nonsense and walk away. He doesnt care what people think because people are just props. . He's done with the Iran war. He is on to better things like a gaudy ball room and monuments to himself. Most triumphant arches are built to honor some great accomplishments, and usually when the person is dead. He has done nothing great ever in his whole pathetic life.
In Trump's defense talking about dark, dank, catastrophic repercussions is normal conversation for a man who has constant chaos churning in his noggin.
They have a guy at Axios who releases some "insider source" that tells him PEACE IS COMING. They place their bids. the market swells. They short the oil, oil falls. They take their money and walk. It's disgusting.
I love the pictures of Ms Spouse Jeff. I shed some tears for you every time. Believe me I know how you feel, I lost my spouse of 50+ years and it is very hard. Thanks for everything you give us. 🥰
"The US and Iran are moving closer to an agreement on a memo to end the war, according to a regional source, though Trump officials cautioned talks have previously fallen apart at the last minute."
Translation: Maybe we can get the deal across the line as long as Trump keeps his yap shut.
I’m becoming concerned that the ballroom isn’t about the ballroom. It’s about the bunker. It’s a place for him to hunker down and refuse to leave the White House if he either isn’t allowed to run for a third term or if he runs and loses. Am I nuts? Is my foil hat showing? Someone please talk me down from this.
Nails might not be enough. How about a layer of bricks, then a layer of boulders, followed by a layer of reinforced concrete, then sealed with titanium. Oh, and sensors to detect any efforts to tunnel out. In fact, don't leave any metal objects in there; just cheap plastic silverware. That oughta do it.
Uh, no. That has been on the table from the git. My guess? Donny watched "Downfall", but just the yelly parts. He liked it so much that he thought that the bunker life would be swell and could protect him from the meanies who want to make him actually leave office. Again.
What Donny does or doesn't do is becoming secondary to all of the other moving parts he's set into motion. The future is uncertain, and it's not running in straight lines.
I wonder if some of the cost is for the installation of a golf course in the bunker. I mean--surely he realizes that, if he chooses to spend the rest of his life in an underground burrow (he must've gotten tips from Hamas), it's going to be tough to get to a golf course. Unless they build a secret exit tunnel so he can pop up on a golf course like a woodchuck.
Ken Burns is 72, but pretty spunky for an old guy. I hope he's got another slow-paced, understated blockbuster in him. "Trump" could be his magnum opus.
I saw a “plan” for the bunker that included three levels below the “ballroom” including an AI data center, work/office command central level, and on the lowest level, living quarters and storage for everything he’d need to survive in order to not be kicked out of the white house. It seems plausible considering how batshit crazy everything else is right now. And the secrecy about it all gives cause to think he’s up to no good.
Radon not likely. That manifests in mountains; like where I used to live. DC used to be literal swampland. Malaria used to be a bad problem. I’m still trying to wrap my head around how they’re going to build so deep in ground like that. But maybe I’m overthinking it? My hope is he’ll croak long before it’s finished.
Lindsey Graham said the $300 million donated upfront can be used for china, silverware, and stuff like that. He's already envisioning attending the Mad Hatter's Tea Party.
I'm not concerned about the bunker. Yes, you're wearing a tin foil hat. I'm concerned about the tone deafness of using a billion dollars of taxpayer money when people cannot afford rent, food, health care and gas.
My understanding is that there was already a bunker under the East Wing. I'm sure some of the billion would be to fortify and modernize that space. What we need is an event where It (trump) needs a bunker RIGHT NOW while there is no bunker because It tore the East Wing down!
He can refuse to leave but he’s only President if he’s elected UNLESS he pulls a coup and has the backing of the military. And, in that case, he doesn’t need a ballroom.
I don’t really know what’s behind the BRBS (ballroom bullshit) other than his massive ego.
I don’t know if that helps or makes things worse, Mary!
I read a few years ago some stupid MAGA woman who said she would be honored if Trump slept with young daughter. Many of his supporters are really sick and perverted.
I wouldn’t let that pedophile near my children or grandchildren. I would love to be a fly on the wall at those kids dinner table 😆😆So mommy, why did that mean man say all those scary things to us today?
Doc, the suckup GOP is still on their knees devising ways to cheat at the upcoming mid-terms. They know they can't win on their ideas, so it's yes sir we will rig the elections, anything you say sir. Hell isn't good enough for any of them.
The ever-increasing numbers are hilarious given the Administration’s attempts to prosecute Jerome Powell for construction overruns. Hypocrite says what?
Two things keep nagging me about the ballroom. 1) Is it really a smart idea to build a military installation on the grounds of the president's residence? 2) The ballrooom wouldn't need bullet- and bomb-proof windows and a drone-proof roof IF THE BALLROOM DIDN'T EXIST. OK, a third thing. 3) Can we think of any ways $1B could better be used?
At the same time the pedophile protector party slips that $1B into their bill, Sec. of Ag Brooke Rollins crows about kicking 4.3 million people off of SNAP because "a lot of that is fraud." And now "it's just a better economy" so these lazy losers don't need those bennies, right, Rollins, you delusional lying cun. . .
Imagine if we sent checks to every family living below the poverty level, instead. Of course, we can't do that because all of the gazillionaires (who, for instance, spend their money extremely wisely, like getting a yacht built so big a bridge has to be taken down so the boat can get out to sea, or renting Venice for a party) get very concerned about poor people "wasting" that sort of "government handout" on outrageous stuff like a 6-pack of Pepsi or a steak. Or rent. Or the electric bill.
Proof that years of rw media lies and the grievance sowing that Reagan did have paid off handsomely. Rethuglicans have succeeded in brainwashing many that the poor are the grifters and thieves rather than the oligarchs. Look at the money Bezos spent to turn his wife into a living sex doll.
I swear, its diabolical. As much as we expose the craven lies spread on Fox News, founded by Far right fascist Rupert Mordoch, they keep winning viewers with their propaganda. I heard Murdoch is trying to disenherit three of his children from getting Fox because they are opposed to the lies. His 1st son is just like him and wants to continue to ruin the US for fun and profit.
This is the most corrupt regime in history. Remember Noem and her love plane? $200+ million PR contract? Yes, the DOD gets the most, but waste, fraud, and abuse is this regime's MO
Democrats who voted AYE to place America First Rollins at the head of the Agriculture Department: BALDWIN, BENNETT, BOOKER, CORTEZ-MASTO, DURBIN, FETTERMAN, GALLEGO, HASSAN, HEINRICH, HICKENLOOPER, KLOBUCHAR, PETERS, ROSEN, SHAHEEN, SLOTKIN, SCHIFF, OSSOFF, WARNOCK, WELCH. Rollins was a bad choice and a known assailant of those in need of food. They voted AYE anyway!
The cosmetic surgeon who committed those atrocities on her face and body oughta be ashamed, but we know he or she is not. Bank account went up by many zeroes.
I think they really do look inflatable - I’m talking literal balloons. And, if her nose gets any smaller, and her lips any bigger . . .! Why in the fucking hell would anyone do that to her body? Repulsive and pitiful.
I wonder if there is a special factory these wealthy trophy wives are sent to. They go in looking normal and they come out all looking like Red-lipped Batfish and ridiculous silicon filled balloons on their chests.
It might be the same plastic surgery chop shop where the mafia in the 90s used to send porn girls for their boob-lip-nose jobs so that they all looked the same. Mrs. Bezosne er even bothers to change up her hairstyle nor her makeup as well. Always the same. Like a branded property.
Bezos is selling his $500 million yacht because it costs $30 mil per year to maintain and it's too big to dock anywhere. Speaking of rich a-hole problems, a judge has stayed further ballroom construction for now. I hope Donny keeps fighting for it because nothing says out of touch like building a palace while your voters struggle to eat and fill the tank. He's gonna need that bunker when the mob shows up with torches and pitchforks.
That’s exactly what I thought! You bring your children to stand next to a pedophile? What exactly is wrong with these people? And he’s got zero control as dementia people do…wtaf?
They are most likely the children of his braindead maga cult, that's the only explanation i could think of. Seeing children anywhere near him makes me shudder.
Thanks for your posts about Claudia. I am 52 and lost my mother almost 33 years ago and I still think of her every single day. Your posts about Claudia help me with my own mourning that never goes away.
He's too big a narcissist to Hitler himself. He can't imagine what the world would be like without him at the center of his own planet. Who would the cultists worship?
today in Shit That Happened While I Was Busy Writing This Shit—
Donny says talks with Iran are going well — so well that he's threatening to bomb the shit out of them again.
https://www.cnn.com/2026/05/06/world/live-news/iran-war-trump-strait-of-hormuz
also, Ted Turner goes fuckity-bye at age 87
https://www.cnn.com/2026/05/06/us/ted-turner-death?cid=android_app
If there’s an afterlife, can Ted do something about Scott Jennings?
A bolt of lightning would do.
Oh no! That might reanimate him.
For Jennings, not Ted. But there is the chance he’ll survive, naked and speaking Sumerian.
He must be mutilizing Jennings back to what ever it was before the awful mutilization was in its unmutilized state and get Ted back to Georgia and leave him there.
LOL!
Hell, YES. I would love for Ted to do something about Scott Jennings. 🤮
You’ll never guess where the debris from the East Wing, which you’ll never guess is contaminated with toxic metals and PCBs, got dumped. Big piles o’ debris have been deposited around the East Potomac Golf Course. The one some FA wants to tear up to remake as a Drumpf course as part of his goal to turn Washington, DC, into Trump National Capital and Club LLC.
Fatican City
😆😂😆🤣😂
Fatfuckitan
🤣🤣🤣
I am SOOOO stealing this!
Washington DC is rapidly becoming a 43,700 acre toxic landfill known as the TRUMP DUMP. So sad.
Great place to dump a few truckloads of highly contaminated waste Bob…it will find its way into the Potomac, to join the raw sewage that flowed previously.
RFK Jr. is like "where's my swim trunks? Grab the grandkids! Let's go!"
Perfectly executed post Sharon!
Swim trunks? He swims in his jeans and lets them dry on his body! Gross!
He gutted all federal protection programs, so it all tracks.
That wasn't members of this regime? That was real shit???
Wow, imagine that. Such a coincidence.
Illegal as shit, but he does what he wants. Man, I wish 47 would 86.
I think trump should be buried under all the contaminated stuff that was dumped. Now.
Up to his chin. Then his head can be gold-plated.
sprayed with a can of Krylon gold-coloured paint. Gold plating would take far too long, is very involved and no one would want to touch his rotting carcass during THAT process. Just a quick Pffft with the paint (as
he does with that plastic shit in OUR WH) and be done with him. ;)
Indeed, use the same crap he’s used.
Oh, does dear leader need space to bury other loved ones?
Let's clarify: Ivana was not a 'loved one' of HIS - only of his daughter's. But I don't believe she's in that casket which was SO HEAVY the 'big, strong' pallbearers nearly dropped it (she was tiny, weighed very little). Nope, what many of us believe is in that 'golf course/cemetery' are the rest of the missing files absconded with from the WH.
She could be in there with them, or her ashes.
Frankly, I've always believed that she was cremated and in an urn on her daughter's mantel while they faked 'her' burial, but instead used it to hide those so inconvenient files - and of course then claim the site as a 'cemetery' to not only avoid paying taxes BUT also ensure no one digs 'her' up? Perfectly on brand for the scam artist?
It’s a pity some of those truckloads weren’t hijacked to Trump’s own golf course.
Asbestos, anyone?
Undoubtedly. Lead paint and probably some lead pipes.
I'd say we keep 'em . . . Just to hasten along the process where he can experience the same toxic environment and health care results
He probably doesn’t remember Love Canal.
YET it's a public Golf Course which is very popular (from what I've heard) so those who use it are absolutely FURIOUS by this attempted take over of their course. The orange fuckwit has SO MANY places he can golf - why try to take over that one? Just because he thinks he's a fucking king and can do anything he chooses? What a POS. Meanwhile, anyone who knows ANYTHING about building, especially the taking down of OLD buildings - would be fully aware that there would be asbestos used on the walls or ceilings in any previous sheetrock repair AND if it needed to be replaced, MUST be done by tenting/encapsulating the entire thing with the crew wearing what amount to hazmat suits...AND the asbestos needs to be disposed of at specific places BY Pros. He just had machinery come in to knock down the East Wing without bothering to get a single permit or have anyone check the walls.. THIS is how I know frump has zero clue about being a 'builder'. All he's ever done is borrow money from banks and stick his name on projects he then calls 'his'. Always a con...always a fucking scam.
Oh, I think you know, uh, that Black residents of DC golf there--so he's gonna put an end to that!
Yes - he's been a lifelong racist as was his KKK daddy, so it's astonishing to me how ANY black person votes for, let alone signs on with his magat crew. Do they somehow still not know what a rotten racist POS he'll ALWAYS be? Surely, though - he wouldn't want to PLAY on a golf course which was 'tainted' (as his kind of racist believes) by black folk? Well, excepting Tiger Woods of course. He still claims he beat him lol.
Ah, hell. There goes TCM.
I hate to think what they’ll do to it.
I hope his tombstone is shaped like a giant mustache. That would be DOPE
This is why I no longer read Iran coverage, especially if it refers to something Trump or anyone in his administration "said." It will be contradicted within an hour.

I have to admit to trying to verify anything Preznut et. al. say with an Iranian source! How bad is that?
I pretty much assume everything he says is just the voices in his head.
Brian Stelter had this item in his newsletter today:

100% of the people who worship him approve of him, imagine that.
I imagine his staff tells him that. The truth would get them fired.
And lies on his lips!
Al Jazeera is the most reliable source these days.
Agreed!!
Check out Aaron Parnas, too.
I already subscribe to Aaron Parnas.
me too! Lev's son - I follow him on Instagram, sends out updates several times a day and is always accurate with his news. He's always attacked purely for BEING Lev's son, while those folks forget that the man got suckered into frump's circle - but got out when he recognized what it was all about.

Billion dollars says his “talks with Iran” are really just him drooling and mumbling to his own reflection.
Hey! Now I can afford an Epstein dance hall too!
If Axios reports it, it's just a set up for the next stock market insider trading scheme.
Dopey Don and checkers are a match of pure perfection.
The Straits of Schrödinger are a dimension from where there is no escape!
But he just TACO'ed on escorting boats through the strait.
I think the military brass may have gotten through to him how terribly unpopular he would be if one of our ships was sunk.
According to the CNN article (I only read the blurb at the top), Netanyahu is worried and is asserting his control over Donald and the negotiations so he doesn't give up anything important to Bibi. Bibi does not GAS about Donald's popularity.
Unless Bibi has the peepee tapes and Putin info, there is no way he is exerting control over the moron. The moron only does what is best for himself.
That implies he's capable of understanding that concept, or even caring about it to begin with.
The concept of unpopularity or the concept of a sinking ship?
Well the idea of submarines with batteries eludes him, so that's entirely possible.
The concept that he could ever be unpopular.
Possibly, although not likely Robert. Trumps mind has gone fucketey-bye-bye. He can’t be bothered with expert opinion, only those of quislings and goniffs!
I think he just says shit that he thinks will shut people up. He hates to hear complaints and objections. So, he'll just spout off nonsense and walk away. He doesnt care what people think because people are just props. . He's done with the Iran war. He is on to better things like a gaudy ball room and monuments to himself. Most triumphant arches are built to honor some great accomplishments, and usually when the person is dead. He has done nothing great ever in his whole pathetic life.
The only popular thing that Donny will ever accomplish is his own demise. The sooner he does, the more popular it will be.
In the past three weeks, Trump has ended 13 wars with Iran.
- @mrsbettybowets.bsky.social
In Trump's defense talking about dark, dank, catastrophic repercussions is normal conversation for a man who has constant chaos churning in his noggin.
They have a guy at Axios who releases some "insider source" that tells him PEACE IS COMING. They place their bids. the market swells. They short the oil, oil falls. They take their money and walk. It's disgusting.
J, I have done that so just go to today how would your theory have worked.
I love the pictures of Ms Spouse Jeff. I shed some tears for you every time. Believe me I know how you feel, I lost my spouse of 50+ years and it is very hard. Thanks for everything you give us. 🥰

Wait, is this Groundhog Day? It sure feels like it. Same shit, different day. 🇦🇺
If I'm reading the thing right, the billion bucks is for secret service security enhancements, not actual ballroom construction.
It allows for a lot of grift towards the king of grift.
https://bsky.app/profile/sybilte420.bsky.social/post/3ml7lqx2gv22z
Hhhmmmm, wonder what the dow will do....🙄
I’m becoming concerned that the ballroom isn’t about the ballroom. It’s about the bunker. It’s a place for him to hunker down and refuse to leave the White House if he either isn’t allowed to run for a third term or if he runs and loses. Am I nuts? Is my foil hat showing? Someone please talk me down from this.
We let him go in there, then nail the door shut.
Can we plug the air intakes? Maybe some Anthrax spores?
Zyklon B. “Right this way, Donny, 5 minutes in this room and you’ll be germ free.”
I'm down wid dat. 😎👌
Right this way Sir. Right through the door…and look over there at that rack of pretty dresses…click
Plug 'em with seashells.
Throw in some cyanide capsules and a WWII Lugar
Well dug suggest Arne!
Susan that's exactly what I was gonna say.
My version: If we lock the door behind him, it'll be worth 100 times what we paid!
I like starting my day with this kind of happy fantasy. Thank you.
No internet.
Ha! Except a video feed for us to watch!!
Maybe build the ballroom with a section of floor you can see through. 🤣
Oooh, nice touch.
Nails might not be enough. How about a layer of bricks, then a layer of boulders, followed by a layer of reinforced concrete, then sealed with titanium. Oh, and sensors to detect any efforts to tunnel out. In fact, don't leave any metal objects in there; just cheap plastic silverware. That oughta do it.
"For the love of God, Montressor..."
Brilliant!
Silverware? We don't need no stinking silverware.
.......and then cut all the oxygen and electrical feeds.
Yes that's where his thinking may be flawed. He and his can be locked in there.
Perfect Susan!
If it were pre-J6 2021, this theory would be 100% tinfoil hat nonsense. Now? Your theory makes perfect sense.
Uh, no. That has been on the table from the git. My guess? Donny watched "Downfall", but just the yelly parts. He liked it so much that he thought that the bunker life would be swell and could protect him from the meanies who want to make him actually leave office. Again.
What Donny does or doesn't do is becoming secondary to all of the other moving parts he's set into motion. The future is uncertain, and it's not running in straight lines.
I wonder if some of the cost is for the installation of a golf course in the bunker. I mean--surely he realizes that, if he chooses to spend the rest of his life in an underground burrow (he must've gotten tips from Hamas), it's going to be tough to get to a golf course. Unless they build a secret exit tunnel so he can pop up on a golf course like a woodchuck.
Send in the golf course woodchuck exterminator, who strongly resembles Bill Murray
Wow!! I think you are on to something here.
I think he needs to watch "Civil War", then.
Ken Burns is 72, but pretty spunky for an old guy. I hope he's got another slow-paced, understated blockbuster in him. "Trump" could be his magnum opus.
72 is an old guy? Um, yikes. Guess I better get my affairs in order for my own dirt nap.
I wonder if they’re building a golf course in the bunker? He wouldn’t be happy if he couldn’t play golf.
Who cares if he's happy. Irrelevant.
That’s a lot of acreage underground where a real swamp used to be dammit.
At least a putting green.
Exactly my train of thought! LOL!!!!
I saw a “plan” for the bunker that included three levels below the “ballroom” including an AI data center, work/office command central level, and on the lowest level, living quarters and storage for everything he’d need to survive in order to not be kicked out of the white house. It seems plausible considering how batshit crazy everything else is right now. And the secrecy about it all gives cause to think he’s up to no good.
One thing he’s overlooked because he’s not good with details: Radon. If he’s going to be in the lowest level, won’t radon get him first?
One can only hope!
Radon not likely. That manifests in mountains; like where I used to live. DC used to be literal swampland. Malaria used to be a bad problem. I’m still trying to wrap my head around how they’re going to build so deep in ground like that. But maybe I’m overthinking it? My hope is he’ll croak long before it’s finished.
One can hope...
When has any Drumpf ever been up to anything "good"?
Or survive a nuclear hit?
Doesn’t it have a fully operational medical facility, too?
Yes I think it did.
If you’re nuts, then I am too. There’s no way the fugly building alone would cost that much. It’s all the tech and fortification of that bunker.
Lindsey Graham said the $300 million donated upfront can be used for china, silverware, and stuff like that. He's already envisioning attending the Mad Hatter's Tea Party.
SERIOUSLY?!
Wouldn't it be cheaper to just build a nursing home?
And just coat it in that fake "gold" crap and tell him it's the bunker and Epstein Memorial Dance Hall and Airplane Hangar.
I'm not concerned about the bunker. Yes, you're wearing a tin foil hat. I'm concerned about the tone deafness of using a billion dollars of taxpayer money when people cannot afford rent, food, health care and gas.
But but but all the oligarchs have their bunkers, why can't Donny? He never pays for anything anyway.
It is totally a bunker.
It is absolutely about the bunker.
I've had the same thoughts, especially when the price jumped so drastically in the last round of "what the fuck are we doing NOW?"
That's what it's always been about.
More than "security features" I'm worried that it'll have hardline access to the nuclear arsenal...
Mary , I suspect you're correct... but this scenario is scary!!
My understanding is that there was already a bunker under the East Wing. I'm sure some of the billion would be to fortify and modernize that space. What we need is an event where It (trump) needs a bunker RIGHT NOW while there is no bunker because It tore the East Wing down!
Bunker. Didn’t anyone read “The Cask of Amontillado?” We know what to do!
He can refuse to leave but he’s only President if he’s elected UNLESS he pulls a coup and has the backing of the military. And, in that case, he doesn’t need a ballroom.
I don’t really know what’s behind the BRBS (ballroom bullshit) other than his massive ego.
I don’t know if that helps or makes things worse, Mary!
Nah. A billon dollars is just a big fat wet kiss from the Republicans to Trump's coffers. And anyone else who can get on that gravy train.
It's only the starting point for massive cost overruns.
Gold plating that bunker would likely be sniffing its way up to a trillion if Donny had it his way.
Don't suppose there'd be a 'Bridal Suite' where Melania would care to reside.
Did anyone cringe when Trump was talking to the children? What kind of parent allows their child to play with a sex predator of underage girls.
MAGA parents
I read a few years ago some stupid MAGA woman who said she would be honored if Trump slept with young daughter. Many of his supporters are really sick and perverted.
They are so cult-indoctrinated that anything he does is fine with them. So disturbingly sick, as you said
Yeah - like it'd be an honor
Congress.
I recall that plenty of parents were happy to let their young boys sleep in Michael Jackson's bed.
YIKES 😱
Blame the idiot parents who lets these kids anywhere near this melting fat puddle
Eva, best to take the whole family with nannies to Epstein island.
Just keep in mind that Alabama or Arkansas (no difference--who cares?) wanted to lower the age for child brides............
and lower the age of workers so 10 year old children can be sent out to work in factories.
Mary, that is Arkansas. Sarah Huckleberry is the fucking governor. She would like little immigration children to have dangerous jobs.
Recently?!
Last year Huckleberry signed into law.
Republicans.
I wouldn’t let that pedophile near my children or grandchildren. I would love to be a fly on the wall at those kids dinner table 😆😆So mommy, why did that mean man say all those scary things to us today?
We are living in the strangest times possible, like the never ending "Twilight Zone", please Rod, make it stop!
You know he was itching to describe in detail what "trans mutilization" entails.
Makes you wonder where they dig up these people and what ends of the earth they come from.
Scary thought, bringing children into a room with that perverse queen!
Are the children who were present for Trump's BS the spawn of Kegseth? He must be parent of the year.
(muskrat?)
And the look on those kids faces… Geezzzzz 😱
I just saw it and I cringed and swore my head off at my TV. Grotesque.
Exactly Mike..the guy IS a pedo and CONVICT! What idiotic people to let their children hear him!
We don’t need an ugly ballroom to satisfy a mad man who doesn’t even dance except for that stupid Hand movement looks like he’s jerking off
Ahem. “Looks like he’s jerking off 2 giraffes”
Thank you for your attention to this matter
Lol 🤣
The vision in my head is hilarious and should be broadcast on every TV screen
OMG - could there possibly be an AI meme for that?
Those jiggling buttocks oh my!
That fucking ballroom
Is a gargantuan waste
Another ego project
Devoid of any taste
To the party of suckups
A billion here or there
Is worth his approval
What do they care
They give him our money
Like it grows on trees
Sycophantic crooks
Down on their knees
Doc, the suckup GOP is still on their knees devising ways to cheat at the upcoming mid-terms. They know they can't win on their ideas, so it's yes sir we will rig the elections, anything you say sir. Hell isn't good enough for any of them.
Truth!
💙great poetry!!
Republicans are just begging to get wiped out in the midterms.
Death by Ballot Box?…😏
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Excellent, Doc. Perfect encapsulation of my rage. 😡
One of your best Doc! Keep up the good work!
Good one Doc!
Good one!
👏👏👏🤣
Thank you for sharing Claudia with us. I love these memories to cleanse our pallet at posts end.
YES! Flood the zone w/ppl of INTEGRITY!
🤔… not a bad idea
I read somewhere the east wing demolition materials were dumped on a public golf course and is loaded with toxic materials…. 🤷🏻♀️
Such a lunatic in charge- who the hell would take their kids to see that idiotic?!????
Yes- please support teachers!!! Thanks!!
Rachel Maddow mentioned the demolition dumping on her show this past Monday, 5/4/26
I've always wondered if they actually even salvaged anything that was in there (furniture, artwork, etc), or if they just scrapped it all
The ever-increasing numbers are hilarious given the Administration’s attempts to prosecute Jerome Powell for construction overruns. Hypocrite says what?
“Whatever sticks!?”
Claudia was SOOOO lucky to have a husband who cherished her.
($72 billion is what I read today)
I hate to say this but why couldn't it have been Trump? Claudia added value to the world; Trump takes it away.
I don't hate to say it. I wish this every day.
I can't "like" this because I don't want the orange pedophilic sadist in any thought associated with marvelous Claudia.
Two things keep nagging me about the ballroom. 1) Is it really a smart idea to build a military installation on the grounds of the president's residence? 2) The ballrooom wouldn't need bullet- and bomb-proof windows and a drone-proof roof IF THE BALLROOM DIDN'T EXIST. OK, a third thing. 3) Can we think of any ways $1B could better be used?
At the same time the pedophile protector party slips that $1B into their bill, Sec. of Ag Brooke Rollins crows about kicking 4.3 million people off of SNAP because "a lot of that is fraud." And now "it's just a better economy" so these lazy losers don't need those bennies, right, Rollins, you delusional lying cun. . .
Imagine if we sent checks to every family living below the poverty level, instead. Of course, we can't do that because all of the gazillionaires (who, for instance, spend their money extremely wisely, like getting a yacht built so big a bridge has to be taken down so the boat can get out to sea, or renting Venice for a party) get very concerned about poor people "wasting" that sort of "government handout" on outrageous stuff like a 6-pack of Pepsi or a steak. Or rent. Or the electric bill.
Proof that years of rw media lies and the grievance sowing that Reagan did have paid off handsomely. Rethuglicans have succeeded in brainwashing many that the poor are the grifters and thieves rather than the oligarchs. Look at the money Bezos spent to turn his wife into a living sex doll.
I like "personal flotation device"
Or like Doc so accurately said
“ A living sex doll “
ewwww
And she looks worse than what her natural self was.
She was attractive before. Not now. Bezos must need eye surgery
He must need psychotherapy.
Maybe he LIKES screwing blow-up dolls!!
I swear, its diabolical. As much as we expose the craven lies spread on Fox News, founded by Far right fascist Rupert Mordoch, they keep winning viewers with their propaganda. I heard Murdoch is trying to disenherit three of his children from getting Fox because they are opposed to the lies. His 1st son is just like him and wants to continue to ruin the US for fun and profit.
I guess being a piece of shit was only inherited by that son, Lachlan.
And most of those poor are Fox News viewers.
That's part of the "beauty" of the lying rw media's mission: the gullible, delusional cultists don't realize they're being scammed so onerously
Almost all the "fraud" in government is at the Pentagon where the fraud likely surpassed the total cost of all social services programs.
This is the most corrupt regime in history. Remember Noem and her love plane? $200+ million PR contract? Yes, the DOD gets the most, but waste, fraud, and abuse is this regime's MO
Yes, but Melania gets the love plane now!
Who's she gonna share it with? Does the plane come with Corey Lewandowski?
When the Qatar jumbo jet is made aviation-worthy again, Trump and Melania can have "his and hers" flying bordellos.
No, she has a secret service "friend", supposably!
Does Melania want Kristy in bed with her and Corey?
Maybe we should be glad she was worried enough to give that spontaneous presser…😓
By a factor of 10 - 1000 whatever it is it is shameful I say with certainty!
Democrats who voted AYE to place America First Rollins at the head of the Agriculture Department: BALDWIN, BENNETT, BOOKER, CORTEZ-MASTO, DURBIN, FETTERMAN, GALLEGO, HASSAN, HEINRICH, HICKENLOOPER, KLOBUCHAR, PETERS, ROSEN, SHAHEEN, SLOTKIN, SCHIFF, OSSOFF, WARNOCK, WELCH. Rollins was a bad choice and a known assailant of those in need of food. They voted AYE anyway!
I like several of these politicians, I wonder their reasons were. They normally dont vote for hacks.
Aipac people.
Maybe don’t want to be accused of just not saying yes to anything?… a cya move?
Doc, I think I’m gonna puke.
Was she the delusional one recommending a $3 meal with half a chicken breast, one sprig of broccoli and a tortilla?
While they dine on Beluga caviar and Dom. Oh the hypocrisy.
Ma ga has to say “ENOUGH‼️”
Golly, if Mrs. Bezos tits get any bigger they might explode. It must take courage to stand within range.
I wonder if Jeff carries around one of those portable bike repair kits--you know, the ones with duct tape and an air pump, incase there's a blow out.
😂😂😂
The cosmetic surgeon who committed those atrocities on her face and body oughta be ashamed, but we know he or she is not. Bank account went up by many zeroes.
She used to be a pretty woman. Now she is just a Merde a Lardo freak.
But she fits in quite well with the Mar-a-Lago Big Boobs and Big Lips. Her only plus- she is young and Bezos wants her.
Not that young. She's closer to 60 years than 50 years.
I hope she has a very generous pre nup
I agree with you 100%!
I think they really do look inflatable - I’m talking literal balloons. And, if her nose gets any smaller, and her lips any bigger . . .! Why in the fucking hell would anyone do that to her body? Repulsive and pitiful.
She coulda done the balloons under the shirt on the cheap like Bryon Noem
My thoughts exactly.
This is from April 3rd or so, when the Bryon cross dressing thing came out:
Them fun, fun Noems
Keep inspiring more poems
Turns out Bryon's fetish
Is acting coquettish
With balloon boobs that look like domes
Looks like she can’t even smile or close her mouth.
She’s gonna look like a fish on a hook when she gets to be about 65 years old
Hey! Modeled after Kristy's hubby !
How long do you think it took her to perfect that "raging rich bitch" facial expression she sports in every picture?
She went to the same expressions school as Melania.
Can’t make expressions. Face too frozen.
Yes! The school of "I really don't care, do you?"
be best!
🤣🤣🤣
She thinks she looks like Sophia Loren. We got news for her ...
The word grotesque was coined just for her.
I wonder if there is a special factory these wealthy trophy wives are sent to. They go in looking normal and they come out all looking like Red-lipped Batfish and ridiculous silicon filled balloons on their chests.
Wow! You nailed that one:-)
Great. Now I feel like we’re trapped in the movie ‘Brazil’… 😩
It might be the same plastic surgery chop shop where the mafia in the 90s used to send porn girls for their boob-lip-nose jobs so that they all looked the same. Mrs. Bezosne er even bothers to change up her hairstyle nor her makeup as well. Always the same. Like a branded property.
Red lip batfish

Spot on!
And I'm sorry but they look REALLY uneven. For what they paid for those they should at least match, am I right?
They might bob around a lot, like helium balloons.
Hence, (our) Jeff referring to her as Bezo's personal floatation device. They must keep her head above water.
I did imagine her as not being able to lay flat on her stomach, she would now be like a teeter totter, head, toes, head, toes.
Good one Arnie! “Duck, I think she’s gonna blow!”
Her overall body size seems larger. To fit.
According to our Jeff, Bezos uses her for a floatation device. 😅He’s always got the right quip.
Bezos is selling his $500 million yacht because it costs $30 mil per year to maintain and it's too big to dock anywhere. Speaking of rich a-hole problems, a judge has stayed further ballroom construction for now. I hope Donny keeps fighting for it because nothing says out of touch like building a palace while your voters struggle to eat and fill the tank. He's gonna need that bunker when the mob shows up with torches and pitchforks.
And I believe that is just a matter of time…at some point this country is going to go all “French Revolution”…
Oh no, poor Jeff Bezos. I must send him a sympathy card.
As I understand it, there's a tiny violin playing a sympathy song for him
Wait a couple weeks...when the tab for his ballroom and Super Hitler Bunker goes to $2 billion...
Let Bezos pay for the thing
FIFY
pro tip: don’t put Sundowning Grandpa Fuckbrain in the same room with children…..
he is a pedophile and only knows how to be inappropriate with them.
Could’ve said something a lot worse there but keeping it PG, unlike that disgusting fartbag.
That’s exactly what I thought! You bring your children to stand next to a pedophile? What exactly is wrong with these people? And he’s got zero control as dementia people do…wtaf?
They are most likely the children of his braindead maga cult, that's the only explanation i could think of. Seeing children anywhere near him makes me shudder.
Hear that ‘Frank George’ now is the time for the Frontal Temporal Dementia. I screwed up one word and only one person can fix it. Calling Frank!
Thanks for your posts about Claudia. I am 52 and lost my mother almost 33 years ago and I still think of her every single day. Your posts about Claudia help me with my own mourning that never goes away.
I miss my mom too.
Sometimes just being able to share your grief with a stranger helps.
We should be thrilled that he’s building a bunker. Remember what Adolf famously did in his
He's too much of a coward to do the Hitler thing
He's too big a narcissist to Hitler himself. He can't imagine what the world would be like without him at the center of his own planet. Who would the cultists worship?
TOTALLY!
Maybe Hitler got help. The word "bunker" does cheer me up in that context.
But they are/were both insane.
Well, we can dream...
My thought exactly.
We could only hope.
