I think I might hate the chosen six even more than I hate Nosferatu Miller: Miller has no actual reason for existing, but the Supreme Court is supposed to be the last bastion for Truth, Justice, and the American Way.
I assume you weren’t taught that in any law school. The Court exists to be the last word on the meaning of any law. To do so, it should apply past explanations of laws, including the Constitution. That’s called precedent. This Court does not believe in precedent, which is very odd for a group who claim to be conservative. When this Court sees a previous ruling it doesn’t like, it overturns it, often with reasoning that Constitutional scholars find specious and contradictory. No bastion of anything there.
I think it was he who posted that eagle. I’ll bet it is foreshadowing - Donnie will be standing in front of it when he vomits out his diatribe at his July 4 rally. Edit: added ‘is’.
Me too. SCOTUS is so un-American it's hard to believe I used to have faith in them. A bunch (6 of them) of black-robed traitors. I'd be embarrassed if I weren't so pissed off. And scared spitless. I'm not trans but I have a strong belief in my fellow humans.
Despite the fact that the Constitution explicitly defines birthright citizenship........Interesting that BeerBoy wanted to leave the door open by not declaring the obvious--the order is unconstitutional. Period. Constitution itself practically stood up and screamed that in their faces.
All I can say is......man: those billionaire-sponsored vacations must be some fucking-A experience.
6-3 in the result, with Kegstand dissenting on the reasoning (he'd base it on federal law, not the 14th Amendment).
Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch dissenting in full. The usual suspects. I haven't yet read their opinions. The majority is pretty damn full-throated in support of birthright citizenship, though. It's something that goes back to English common law and we adopted it when we got here and set up our system. People were horrified at Dred Scott *because* it was a departure from long-held principles.
Basically, if they can quote Blackstone in support of their position, they feel pretty good about it. Now to go crack open the dissents and see what kind of glue they've been huffing.
6-3. Kavanaugh concurred not dissented. Haven't read his reasoning but apparently he said Trump didn't violate the Constitution but DID violate Federal law.
I've read a bit more about his opinion. He said Trump's order violated Federal law but NOT the Constitution, and suggested that Congress could change the law. We have to ensure a blue tsunami in November.
5-4? 5-4! What the holy hell? Four asswipes thought, sure let's get rid of something that has existed for the entirety of our existence as a country. That the founding father's were clearly fine with.
Four asswipes...Alito, Gorsuch, Thomas full dissent; Kavanaugh dissented on technical grounds, feeling that it should have been argued under Federal immigration law rather than the Constitution.
Alito, Thomas and Gorsuch have slid so far to the right they are definitely going to fall off the edge of the flat world that they certainly still believe in. Kavanaugh apparently dissented on technical grounds (he claims it should have been resolved under immigration law, not the Constitution). Surely Alito and Thomas SHOULD be impeached under ethics violations...well, one would think so, anyway.
NPR retracted that, apparently it's not true. But my biggest fear is that if the older corrupt sycophants retire, they'll be replaced with someone as bad or worse (if that's even possible) and much younger.
Oh, he's not using FedSoc anymore. He thinks Leonard Leo did him dirty by recommending people who have an inconvenient allegiance to the rule of law, even when they're ideologues.
Thanks. Maybe. LOL I saw it on Sam Steins feed and a couple of others so I thought it could be trusted. NPR is scrambling right now. There were other rumors going around that Thomas was going to resign. Now it's just the same old clusterfvck.
Ninety-one years of precedent said a president could not simply fire the people meant to check him. Monday, six justices struck the match and called the smoke progress. A gay former cabinet secretary spent a night barred from his own four-year-olds because a coward dialed in a lie. A federal court is asked to bless the turbines choking a Black neighborhood, on the theory that a chatbot is a weapon of war. This is where the fuck we are. SCOTUS is a giant ass piece of ass-twaddle shit. And its just getting worse.
Can we get out of this weird reality we are in? Please?
I dunno. Can you persuade millions (8+? 10+? A greater number?) more voters to turn up and vote against fascism this time, in addition to the rest of us who voted against fascism in 2024?
In the future, if we have one, there's going to be an entirely new genre of political science and legal theory dedicated to how fucked his terms were.
Like, people are going to get doctorates in "How this tweet got three hundred and eighty seven people killed, here's the chain of cause and effect, and which legal loopholes and violations allowed it to happen."
What can the next president and congress, providing it is honest and hold to the Constitution do to correct this? Add Supreme Court Justices? But wont the Republicans just add more when they have the votes?
There is already a political gap, which did not exist ten years ago, in death rates: conservatives die at a statistically significant higher rate than liberals (and the "very" conservative die most, the "very" liberal least); principal explanatory factor seems to be belief in medical woo-woo. This is among samples matched for age, income, etc. although it is also true that the conservatives are disproportionately old and economically precarious, accentuating the gap in death rates.
They're going to have to go completely scorched earth. The illegitimate Republican appointed judges on the supreme Court (meaning all of them) need to get shitcanned, the Republicans in Congress who helped trump avoid prison (again, all of them) need to get evicted and held accountable for their crimes. Trump himself (provided he's still alive) needs to be in prison within 24 hours of the next democratic president being sworn in. Along with Stephen Miller, Steve bannon, vought, and all the rest. The NRA and SBC need to be classified as terrorist organizations and treated accordingly. Every trump appointee in the government needs to be purged. Musk, Theil, and the rest of the billionaires who fucked the country over need to be charged and put in prison, and have their assets stripped to fund the reconstruction efforts.
Frankly, we need an entirely new constitution. The one we have is a complete failure, as evidenced by the fact that we're in this situation to begin with.
Note: I don't expect any of this to actually happen. I think we're way past the point of no return and the only real question is how long it takes for trump to either: declare a formal civil war and send the army into blue states to massacre anyone they can, drop a nuke (probably on home soil), the country to balkanize and split into separate entities, or some combination thereof. The system we currently have is completely unworkable, but too many people in power are invested in keeping it, so we're just waiting for things to run their inevitable course and the country collapses one way or another.
That sounds great, but whats to prevent them from doing the same they're in power. The problem is the Democrats play fair and the Republicans play a long game.
It would require the Democrats to pull their heads out of their asses and play hardball. Abolishing the electoral college would be a massive blow to Republicans, but that would require a constitutional amendment, which is never going to happen (unless Republicans REALLY wanted to overturn something like term limits, women's sufferage, or the abolition of slavery. They could probably manage at least one of those if they tried)
Like I said, I don't expect anything even remotely resembling substantive change, much less the kind of massive change we need.
Exactly. It should have been 9-0, but there are some of those morons who are only accepting gifts and bribes and don't think upholding the Constitution is their job. IT IS their JOB!
It was a 6-3 decision. Apparently Thomas' dissent was over 90 pages while the decision itself was just over 20. Wonder if Thomas would like to revision Loving v. Virginia. No? Would that be because he and his wife LIVE in Virginia?
That's great and unexpected. After the Supremes, with the usual 6-3 split removed TPS status for Haitians, I thought that birthright citizenship would be next.
The Gold Eagle....I wanna barf! The stupidity of the ass kissers in this cabinet, tho? Dr. Oz, just shut up already.
Nothing to celebrate on Saturday, either. Maybe mix a martini and dig into the savings account to buy a steak. Between our government and the heat, everything sucks! EXCEPT the wonderful photo of Claudia...she looks happy and amused. "Lab grown Vaginas". 😂😂😂😂
Everyone survive this heat and hope for a massive blue wave in November. 🤞
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 There also is a golden eagle on top of the crappy replica of the Arc de TACO at Trump’s birthday ghost town, making the whole thing look like something designed by Albert Speer for the Stonehenge part of This is Spinal Tap
Yes, perhaps there will be something to celebrate next July 4th. One can only hope. In my part of Michigan it's supposed to rain, which I think is perfectly appropriate. Crying inside, crying outside!
I’m actually encouraged by their incompetence and constant, unwavering ass-kissing of orange butthole mouth. They couldn’t organize a piss up in a brewery and with all of the energy they put into kissing dear leader’s fat, diapered ass, that’s all the less energy they’ll be putting into destroying our country. Tick tock, motherfuckers! Your days are numbered!
It's not real, it's a janky AI-generated image he posted on his Truth Social account as a "gift" to us all. "However the crest features only 11 stars, instead of the 13 traditionally used to represent the original 13 colonies ..." -- CNN
At first I thought that Eagle decoration was real and I was going to post about being stuck in the Twilight Zone. Breathing a sigh of relief that it’s AI.
But we’re still stuck in the Twilight Zone with an Extreme Court that both giveth and taketh away. What a nightmare.
I would add, the idol we all Seig to for so long is designed better and is more impactful. Those Nazis did have the greatest designers for staging and sets for impact. Dopey loses clearly to the real wolds biggest assholes.
Damn straight Susan. There is nothing to celebrate on Saturday because Donnie has sucked the joy out of everything in order to make it about himself while lining his pockets. I've never been so ashamed of this country. A hearty fuck you to the Extreme Court. We need to take the Senate in case of future retirements of the court and replacements will be blocked. Give old orange poopypants the Merrick Garland treatment of any nominee. Where's Cocaine Mitch? Is he still alive?
I keep saying I want Trump to live long enough to have to endure the shame and ridicule of seeing everything he thought was securing his "legacy" utterly eradicated. And if the next president has a rich sense of irony the reversal of Trump's executive orders should be signed with the autopen.
Isn't it adorbs how some people think we live our lives by the opening/closing bell of the stock market? Here's a reminder that until recently Mehmet Oz was performing heart procedures on willing patients at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital. Dude should be banned from any room with a scalpel.
He is no more qualified to do what he's doing than the rotten rfkjr is to doing his. Oz may have been a good surgeon -- but what the hell on earth does that have to do with managing insurance??
it's weird. Ben Carson was a gifted neurosurgeon who invented new ways of doing brain surgery on infants, and yet he was a complete moron in every other aspect of life
Spongebob once again hits it on the nose! In the episode where he empties his brain to be the absolutely best waiter anywhere, he did not know how anything else works. The Carson Effect
Yes, I remember that. It was bizarre. Although having said that, as a rule I've found surgeons to be unfamiliar with the everyday world, as opposed to their OR world where total focus is on one small part of a human body.
His medical expertise is questionable given his history of snake oil promotion. He may possibly know how to fix a heart but who would want someone that skeevy working on them? Creepy.
I have absolutely no idea. When he went on "Oprah," I thought that was weird. Doctors who love their work wouldn't give it up to do something commercial like he did. And doctors who love their work are generally excellent at what they do.
About his performances in the OR, I don't know. What I do know is that his colleagues at Columbia Pres tried to get him canned for all the snake oil promotion. The effort failed because at the time, he had a tv show and they didn't. He defended himself vigorously in the court of public opinion.
Remember Ben Carson, retired pediatric brain surgeon who headed HUD during Shitler's first administration? He accomplished nothing because he knew bupkus about housing, but Trump associated being black with HUD-funded housing development (leaning on his and his father's roots as racist HUD-exploiting slum lords).
Thats the way it is sometimes. A person can be brilliant at one thing and terrible at others. Einstein was a great physicist, but a cruel, autocratic and unfaithful husband. And a terrible father who ignored his children and refused to see them. Being a great scientist did not make him a great human being. He also apparently never bathed.
Happens in non-scientific fields also. Pablo Picasso was notoriously abusive, and John Lennon could be so as well, despite writing about peace, love, and understanding so passionately. And I remember hearing an interview with Mme. Cauvet (sp?) who lived past 120, older than anyone well documented: she was asked whether it was really true that as a young barmaid she served Vincent van Gogh, and you could hear her spitting out her answer in French over the translator, "Why, WHY, WHY does everyone always want to talk about that noxious drunk?"
I remember going to an event in college that was a gathering of students from multiple universities who were all involved in the same organization. One group was from MIT, and I went with them to McDonald's, where we bought Happy Meals. The prize was a Play-Doh finger puppet. You put Play-Doh on either side of a mold, stuck your finger inside, and then puppet.
These kids, who were talking at dinner about how hallways made them think about vectors, needed the help of liberal arts majors from way less selective schools to figure out the finger puppets from a Happy Meal.
They're probably building killer robots at Boston Dynamics now.
On the other hand, Einstein said some great things: "If you want intelligent children, read them fairytales. If you want more intelligent children, read them more fairytales." And: "If there is a unifying element in the Universe, it is Love. There is no greater power." - he wrote that in a letter to his daughter.
Bizarre, isn't it. If the unifying element in the Universe is Love, than why the hell did he treat so many close to him with such contempt and cruelty (e.g., first wife, the brilliant mathematician and physicist, Mileva)?
Well, why *wouldn't* this happen...after all, the sentiments behind...let's say...historical examples of this kind of eagle motif...they're the reason why millions of Americans chose America's Pilonidal Cyst. He promised them the ethnic, racial and sexual cleansing they desired in America...even if it meant their own necks.
What are the odds that—like the slapdash mini-arch at Temu Fyre Festival—the eagle's going to be made of cardboard and papier-mâché? It likely may fall apart on its own in a few weeks.
When the crooked predator says "gift," he really means grift. Either the taxpayers got stuck with the bill for that gold piece of crap or it was another bribe from a donor
The real question is, what train are all of us on? And who hired that coked-up squirrel as engineer?
They do have a remarkably deep bench of profoundly stupid players. Close your eyes and toss a lawn dart into the air and you’re bound to hit some witless fascist enabler or actual fucking Christofascist or one of their Kapos.
It is surprising that there are so many fascists/NAZIs in government and idiots who vote for them. Have we learned nothing? Which brings me to my greatest fear, we have heard nothing about ICE lately. Will we find filthy concentration camps filled with starving people and mass graves? I'm not kidding. Is anyone keeping an eye on that?
Donny-boy wrecked the economy... so Who TF can even afford to go to DC (even if they wanted to).... all his little red hats are too f'ing poor.... and anyone with enough brains and money to survive this shit show doesn't wanna.
Curious if today we are going to find out that Mitch McConnell took his final glitch a few weeks ago. But with the Nazi themed imagery here can we just skip to the bunker scene?
Come on folks, who has time to read a housing bill when there are so many more important things on the agenda. Like Nazi-fising the White House, investigating box cutter pool vandals, erecting Spinal Tap inspired momuments.
I couldn't write this my own way, so I asked Prof Google AI to explain the structure of health insurance to Dr. Oz since he clearly doesn't understand how it works. Here's the excellent response:
"Health insurance pools financial risk across a large group of people. Healthy members pay premiums that are used to cover the expensive medical care of the sick. Because healthcare costs are unpredictable, this collective structure ensures no single person bears the full burden of catastrophic medical bills."
Oz is another rich, clueless asshole. This is the business model for every type of insurance, FFS. The way the insurance companies make a profit and have reserves to cover the claims is by having a significant proportion of policy/plan subscribers not file claims or incur any payouts. JFC. How out of touch are you, you elitist shithead?
today in Shit That Happened While I Was Busy Writing This Shit—
whew, the Supreme Court upheld birthright citizenship.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/06/30/birthright-citizenship-upheld-by-supreme-court-ruling-against-trump-order/
but I'm sorry, the Supreme Court doesn't get a cookie for doing the right thing this one time. they still totally fucking suck
and it was a 5-4 decision. HOW THE FUCK WAS IT THAT CLOSE. it should have been 9-0. jesus.
That frightens me to my core.
Jeff, Every Trans person is america hates SCOTUS right now, Myself included.
And its not getting better.
I think I might hate the chosen six even more than I hate Nosferatu Miller: Miller has no actual reason for existing, but the Supreme Court is supposed to be the last bastion for Truth, Justice, and the American Way.
I assume you weren’t taught that in any law school. The Court exists to be the last word on the meaning of any law. To do so, it should apply past explanations of laws, including the Constitution. That’s called precedent. This Court does not believe in precedent, which is very odd for a group who claim to be conservative. When this Court sees a previous ruling it doesn’t like, it overturns it, often with reasoning that Constitutional scholars find specious and contradictory. No bastion of anything there.
depends on who is in white house....for Rs, its pretzel logic, for Ds, follow the constitution and twisted logic on steroids
I think it was he who posted that eagle. I’ll bet it is foreshadowing - Donnie will be standing in front of it when he vomits out his diatribe at his July 4 rally. Edit: added ‘is’.
I'm hoping the July 4th extreme heat causes Donny to expire in a pool of sweat. Then let the true celebration begin!
That sounds too painless. How about choking to death on a weiner....one that's way bigger than his.
No doubt!
Hmm, that makes a lot of sense.
I’m not trans but I am an ally and I also hate them for what they have done!
All of us thank you for your support.
Me too. SCOTUS is so un-American it's hard to believe I used to have faith in them. A bunch (6 of them) of black-robed traitors. I'd be embarrassed if I weren't so pissed off. And scared spitless. I'm not trans but I have a strong belief in my fellow humans.
I don't think their approval breaks 10% for entire country
A-Holes!!!!
You’re way too nice Tess. Let me add my 2 cents worth - “ A-Hole Fvckers” 🤬🤬🤬
I figured 7-2. so who are the other 2 Rs that won't read?
Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch were the dissenters. No surprise on Coke Can Clarence and Sam the Sham
Everyone in this administration is a poster child for abnormal psychology and the Six Nazis of the Apocalypse on the Extreme Court are no exception.
And Kavanaugh concurred in the judgment, but for different reasons than the 5 in the majority (the 3 liberals plus Roberts and Bony Carrot.
OMG, Bony Carrot! 😂😂😂
Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh were the four dissenters. POS's each and every one of them.
It was kinda 5-1/2 to 3-1/2 - - Kavanaugh (he likes beer 🍺 🍺 🍺) said the order violated federal law but not the Constitution
Despite the fact that the Constitution explicitly defines birthright citizenship........Interesting that BeerBoy wanted to leave the door open by not declaring the obvious--the order is unconstitutional. Period. Constitution itself practically stood up and screamed that in their faces.
All I can say is......man: those billionaire-sponsored vacations must be some fucking-A experience.
For real. The so-called constitutional conservatives are sure quick to ignore the constitution when it suits them.
Was he sober?
Is he ever?
I honestly don't know. But I suspect alcoholism is rampant in higher government roles.
6-3 in the result, with Kegstand dissenting on the reasoning (he'd base it on federal law, not the 14th Amendment).
Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch dissenting in full. The usual suspects. I haven't yet read their opinions. The majority is pretty damn full-throated in support of birthright citizenship, though. It's something that goes back to English common law and we adopted it when we got here and set up our system.

Uncle Clarence said 14A only applies to freed slaves
He has a rather interesting interpretation of "all persons."
🤬
has anyone figured out yet why Clarence Thomas went to Congress? That's suspicious.
6-3. Kavanaugh concurred not dissented. Haven't read his reasoning but apparently he said Trump didn't violate the Constitution but DID violate Federal law.
Concurred in the result, dissented in part on the reasoning.
He's such a DUI hire.
I've read a bit more about his opinion. He said Trump's order violated Federal law but NOT the Constitution, and suggested that Congress could change the law. We have to ensure a blue tsunami in November.
"DUI hire" LOL I'm gonna steal that at some point
5-4? 5-4! What the holy hell? Four asswipes thought, sure let's get rid of something that has existed for the entirety of our existence as a country. That the founding father's were clearly fine with.
Four asswipes...Alito, Gorsuch, Thomas full dissent; Kavanaugh dissented on technical grounds, feeling that it should have been argued under Federal immigration law rather than the Constitution.
Alito, Thomas and Gorsuch have slid so far to the right they are definitely going to fall off the edge of the flat world that they certainly still believe in. Kavanaugh apparently dissented on technical grounds (he claims it should have been resolved under immigration law, not the Constitution). Surely Alito and Thomas SHOULD be impeached under ethics violations...well, one would think so, anyway.
WTAF😡🤬😡🤬😡
Alito has NOT resigned from the SCOTUS. I had that wrong along with half of America.
Maybe it was supposed to be tomorrows story and NPR jumped the gun?
NPR retracted that, apparently it's not true. But my biggest fear is that if the older corrupt sycophants retire, they'll be replaced with someone as bad or worse (if that's even possible) and much younger.
Agree, but I'm not sure anyone could be worse than Alito and Thomas. I am sure that the Federalist Society has lined up a few winners though.
Aileen Cannon, Reed O’Conner, Matthew Kacsmaryk, pretty much any Republican in the 5th Circuit - take your pick.
oh, shit , kacsmaryk is an evil pos. Karma needs to visit him!!
AC is as qualified as a random garden snail 🐌
Oh, he's not using FedSoc anymore. He thinks Leonard Leo did him dirty by recommending people who have an inconvenient allegiance to the rule of law, even when they're ideologues.
"I'm not sure anyone could be worse" SSSHHHH! The Fed Soc will take that as a challenge.
At least it won't swing the balance of the Court at all. And there's not a ton of time for hearings to happen.
NPR has retracted its story about Alito. He is NOT retiring.
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/30/business/media/npr-samuel-alito-nina-totenberg.html
Thanks. Maybe. LOL I saw it on Sam Steins feed and a couple of others so I thought it could be trusted. NPR is scrambling right now. There were other rumors going around that Thomas was going to resign. Now it's just the same old clusterfvck.
Every time I think about them, the ending of Ol’ Yeller comes to mind
In a related decision, the Supreme Court decided by a 5-4 decision that the Earth is not flat.
- @michaelemann.bsky.social
They have a photo of KKK Justice Thomas coming out of Mike Johnson's office before the ruling.
What the fuck jeff? Why are we hanging nazi eagles on the white house.

We make sure Republicans are never in power again.
That would require a Republican mass extinction event. Personally, I'm fine with that.
Same.
There is already a political gap, which did not exist ten years ago, in death rates: conservatives die at a statistically significant higher rate than liberals (and the "very" conservative die most, the "very" liberal least); principal explanatory factor seems to be belief in medical woo-woo.

Yyyyeeeeeeessssss!!! I concur! I can see that happening. Thanks.
Exactly. It should have been 9-0, but there are some of those morons who are only accepting gifts and bribes and don't think upholding the Constitution is their job. IT IS their JOB!
Fine model Catholics, those 4 who are always the “4” in “5-4”. When will a plague befall them?
Supreme Court threw us a bone. How long will it take pumpkin head to threaten their lives to change that decision?
It was a 6-3 decision. Apparently Thomas' dissent was over 90 pages while the decision itself was just over 20. Wonder if Thomas would like to revision Loving v. Virginia. No? Would that be because he and his wife LIVE in Virginia?
I wonder how many of his aides it took to write that long a dissent; I'm sure his lazy butt didn't do any of the work.
…and it shoulda been 9-0
That's great and unexpected. After the Supremes, with the usual 6-3 split removed TPS status for Haitians, I thought that birthright citizenship would be next.
Ketchup on the walls

His latest chintz: that gaudy eagle
Like his war, probably illegal
Either a taxpayer grift
Or a donor's bribery gift
Raise the Nazi alarm, Der Spiegel!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 There also is a golden eagle on top of the crappy replica of the Arc de TACO at Trump’s birthday ghost town, making the whole thing look like something designed by Albert Speer for the Stonehenge part of This is Spinal Tap
Are the lab grown vaginas for all the unfuckable incels?
LOL!!
Even a lab-grown vagina might find MAGAt incels unfuckable.
Yes, perhaps there will be something to celebrate next July 4th. One can only hope. In my part of Michigan it's supposed to rain, which I think is perfectly appropriate. Crying inside, crying outside!
But the President’s diaper is a Yankee Doo-Doo Dandy. And he has the Human Printer to change them and wipe him clean.
Human Printer Harp, is she out of her mind?
Why to that decrepit creep is she so kind?
Her devotion is so hyper
Does she crave changing his diaper?
If so, she must be nose-blind
“nose blind” 😂😂
I think that's from a Febreze commercial
Another winner Doc!
It is a love story for the ages. I'm envisioning the cover of a romance novel with flowing white shirt and manly chest, etc., etc.
😂. Yikes!!
🤢🤮
Whose "manly chest"...because certainly rumpleTrumpskin doesn't own one!
Eeeyew! Shudder!
I’m actually encouraged by their incompetence and constant, unwavering ass-kissing of orange butthole mouth. They couldn’t organize a piss up in a brewery and with all of the energy they put into kissing dear leader’s fat, diapered ass, that’s all the less energy they’ll be putting into destroying our country.

It's not real, it's a janky AI-generated image he posted on his Truth Social account as a "gift" to us all. "However the crest features only 11 stars, instead of the 13 traditionally used to represent the original 13 colonies ..." -- CNN
At first I thought that Eagle decoration was real and I was going to post about being stuck in the Twilight Zone. Breathing a sigh of relief that it’s AI.
But we’re still stuck in the Twilight Zone with an Extreme Court that both giveth and taketh away. What a nightmare.
It’s beyond belief-I knew it was going to be bad but…
Oz knows exactly how insurance works. I hate fake ignorance more than actual ignorance.
I would add, the idol we all Seig to for so long is designed better and is more impactful. Those Nazis did have the greatest designers for staging and sets for impact. Dopey loses clearly to the real wolds biggest assholes.
I read abyss as access. Both apply!!
Damn straight Susan. There is nothing to celebrate on Saturday because Donnie has sucked the joy out of everything in order to make it about himself while lining his pockets. I've never been so ashamed of this country. A hearty fuck you to the Extreme Court. We need to take the Senate in case of future retirements of the court and replacements will be blocked. Give old orange poopypants the Merrick Garland treatment of any nominee. Where's Cocaine Mitch? Is he still alive?
The Daily Claudia has become a balm we can put on the rotting, necrotic, festering sore that this administering has inflicted on our country.
Yes!
exactly!
Well said.
obviously the felon thought it was a good idea.
I cannot wait for a Dem to get in the WH & take a crowbar to all this sh!t
I keep saying I want Trump to live long enough to have to endure the shame and ridicule of seeing everything he thought was securing his "legacy" utterly eradicated. And if the next president has a rich sense of irony the reversal of Trump's executive orders should be signed with the autopen.
Love it!
Same here.
Yes what’s the earliest date of that? When new president gets sworn in? Anyway ASAP please!
Isn't it adorbs how some people think we live our lives by the opening/closing bell of the stock market? Here's a reminder that until recently Mehmet Oz was performing heart procedures on willing patients at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital. Dude should be banned from any room with a scalpel.
He is no more qualified to do what he's doing than the rotten rfkjr is to doing his. Oz may have been a good surgeon -- but what the hell on earth does that have to do with managing insurance??
it's weird. Ben Carson was a gifted neurosurgeon who invented new ways of doing brain surgery on infants, and yet he was a complete moron in every other aspect of life
Spongebob once again hits it on the nose! In the episode where he empties his brain to be the absolutely best waiter anywhere, he did not know how anything else works. The Carson Effect
Yes, I remember that. It was bizarre. Although having said that, as a rule I've found surgeons to be unfamiliar with the everyday world, as opposed to their OR world where total focus is on one small part of a human body.
Both Oz & Carson are surgeons - that specialty requires shutting off one’s emotional center.
His medical expertise is questionable given his history of snake oil promotion. He may possibly know how to fix a heart but who would want someone that skeevy working on them? Creepy.
It's like Ben Carson. He's living proof that you can be a brilliant brain surgeon and otherwise a complete idiot.
But, objectively, was he actually a good surgeon? I see it said and written frequently, but I’m from (pre-maga) Missouri - show me the evidence!
I have absolutely no idea. When he went on "Oprah," I thought that was weird. Doctors who love their work wouldn't give it up to do something commercial like he did. And doctors who love their work are generally excellent at what they do.
About his performances in the OR, I don't know. What I do know is that his colleagues at Columbia Pres tried to get him canned for all the snake oil promotion. The effort failed because at the time, he had a tv show and they didn't. He defended himself vigorously in the court of public opinion.
Remember Ben Carson, retired pediatric brain surgeon who headed HUD during Shitler's first administration? He accomplished nothing because he knew bupkus about housing, but Trump associated being black with HUD-funded housing development (leaning on his and his father's roots as racist HUD-exploiting slum lords).
I thought I saw him lurking behind The Orange Pustule while he slept through some event in the oval. I think He's still around.
Didn't Ben Carson express the belief that the Great Pyramids were built by Christians? I'll have to check with Google's Janky Six-fingered AI bot.
They were grain silos, built by the patriarch Joseph during the seven good years to prepare for the seven lean years.
Thats the way it is sometimes. A person can be brilliant at one thing and terrible at others. Einstein was a great physicist, but a cruel, autocratic and unfaithful husband. And a terrible father who ignored his children and refused to see them. Being a great scientist did not make him a great human being. He also apparently never bathed.
I, on the other hand, have been happily average in all activities.
Genius seems to be a form of autism.
Happens in non-scientific fields also. Pablo Picasso was notoriously abusive, and John Lennon could be so as well, despite writing about peace, love, and understanding so passionately. And I remember hearing an interview with Mme. Cauvet (sp?) who lived past 120, older than anyone well documented: she was asked whether it was really true that as a young barmaid she served Vincent van Gogh, and you could hear her spitting out her answer in French over the translator, "Why, WHY, WHY does everyone always want to talk about that noxious drunk?"
I remember going to an event in college that was a gathering of students from multiple universities who were all involved in the same organization. One group was from MIT, and I went with them to McDonald's, where we bought Happy Meals. The prize was a Play-Doh finger puppet. You put Play-Doh on either side of a mold, stuck your finger inside, and then puppet.
These kids, who were talking at dinner about how hallways made them think about vectors, needed the help of liberal arts majors from way less selective schools to figure out the finger puppets from a Happy Meal.
They're probably building killer robots at Boston Dynamics now.
On the other hand, Einstein said some great things: "If you want intelligent children, read them fairytales. If you want more intelligent children, read them more fairytales." And: "If there is a unifying element in the Universe, it is Love. There is no greater power." - he wrote that in a letter to his daughter.
Bizarre, isn't it. If the unifying element in the Universe is Love, than why the hell did he treat so many close to him with such contempt and cruelty (e.g., first wife, the brilliant mathematician and physicist, Mileva)?
Professions that require pure cognitive ability but not emotional breadth
My sister worked in an ER, told me that the docs felt about their patients the way a mechanic feels about a Gremlin he put up on the rack.
Hey Griftzard of Oz
We wish you would pause
With your bullshit bloviating
You're so out of touch
It doesn't take much
To know it's you that we're really hating
Well, why *wouldn't* this happen...after all, the sentiments behind...let's say...historical examples of this kind of eagle motif...they're the reason why millions of Americans chose America's Pilonidal Cyst. He promised them the ethnic, racial and sexual cleansing they desired in America...even if it meant their own necks.
What are the odds that—like the slapdash mini-arch at Temu Fyre Festival—the eagle's going to be made of cardboard and papier-mâché? It likely may fall apart on its own in a few weeks.
Let’s hope someone else does too……
When the crooked predator says "gift," he really means grift. Either the taxpayers got stuck with the bill for that gold piece of crap or it was another bribe from a donor
ETTD.
The real question is, what train are all of us on? And who hired that coked-up squirrel as engineer?
They do have a remarkably deep bench of profoundly stupid players. Close your eyes and toss a lawn dart into the air and you’re bound to hit some witless fascist enabler or actual fucking Christofascist or one of their Kapos.
I am so fucking sick of this. As are we all.
It is surprising that there are so many fascists/NAZIs in government and idiots who vote for them. Have we learned nothing? Which brings me to my greatest fear, we have heard nothing about ICE lately. Will we find filthy concentration camps filled with starving people and mass graves? I'm not kidding. Is anyone keeping an eye on that?
I've been wondering the same.
ICE detained a nun just the other day. While she was dressed in her habit and on her way to mass.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jun/30/ice-nun-detained-released-texas
You can clearly see in the picture that her skin is browner than a paper bag. No other evidence needed for a Kavanaugh arrest.
WTF
Its been too long and too many people refuse to remember or admit to the horrors of the Nazi regime.
I much preferred the video yesterday of the live American Eagle attacking the barbaric orange pedophilic sadist.
That is, hands down, my favorite gif ever!
Seen on Bluesky:
Photo of Dr Phil and Dr Oz - Oprah owes us all an apology
Donny-boy wrecked the economy... so Who TF can even afford to go to DC (even if they wanted to).... all his little red hats are too f'ing poor.... and anyone with enough brains and money to survive this shit show doesn't wanna.
“ Fox correspondent” knows the red hats all invest in the stock market and are therefore raking it in. A trip to DC is no financial burden.
He thought, "If I build it they will come!"
As usual, he's clueless and dumb
His great MAGA fair
Has so few people there
Just a regime and now a pool full 'o scum
The MAGA Jackoff in the Captain ‘Murica suit certainly did come - at the sight of them thar gymnasts
America's Uncle Sam is MAGA's Uncle Slam the Ham
Ok, you made me laugh out loud. Thanks for that.
It was an acrobatic venue called Cirque Mechanic, which the MAGA perv treated as Cirque du Jerk
"If I build it poorly and make it boring, they will come anyway because they are my cultists".
Yep, Claudia looks super cute!
I don't know why she didn't have a different garland for every day of the week.
Ah yes, the "Hitler x Home Goods" collection.
🤣
Curious if today we are going to find out that Mitch McConnell took his final glitch a few weeks ago. But with the Nazi themed imagery here can we just skip to the bunker scene?
Come on folks, who has time to read a housing bill when there are so many more important things on the agenda. Like Nazi-fising the White House, investigating box cutter pool vandals, erecting Spinal Tap inspired momuments.
Ending the war in Iran. Oh wait, Pinocchio and Whackoff are taking care of that for us.
I couldn't write this my own way, so I asked Prof Google AI to explain the structure of health insurance to Dr. Oz since he clearly doesn't understand how it works. Here's the excellent response:
"Health insurance pools financial risk across a large group of people. Healthy members pay premiums that are used to cover the expensive medical care of the sick. Because healthcare costs are unpredictable, this collective structure ensures no single person bears the full burden of catastrophic medical bills."
Oz is another rich, clueless asshole. This is the business model for every type of insurance, FFS. The way the insurance companies make a profit and have reserves to cover the claims is by having a significant proportion of policy/plan subscribers not file claims or incur any payouts. JFC. How out of touch are you, you elitist shithead?
That sounds like a pretty good idea.
Even better: universal healthcare, including coverage for eyes, ears, and teeth - all parts of the body, the last time I checked.
From your mouth to God's ears. meaning not likely to happen. Trump was already able to cancel parts of Obamacare.
Yes!!!
