It is totally weird that the media compares President Biden and Fraud Trump as though they were both normal people. The media compares their policies instead of pointing out that Fraud Trump is most definitely not a normal person. The media should (MUST) point out that Trump is a liar, a fraud, a con, a traitor, a sex-abuser, a total scumbag, a piece-of-shit and a convicted felon, one who surrounds himself with other criminals. Trump is disgusting….. and an American Disgrace.
The media will not--nearly every paper of record is now owned by oligarchs. I dumped NYT after the last T-toadying headline that set my hair on fire. This won't be a D vs R contest but an oligarchs vs. democracy vote. (None of them believe defenestration is a thing for those who do not toe the party line. Or that someone else will always have more money.)
When my brother threatened violence after Biden's win in 2020, I stopped talking to him, emailing him, or sharing social media. He's in the cult and I don't care what happens to him. I'm sorry for my SIL, but she's made her bed. He's the imbecile I always thought he was. But he used to be a nice guy.
Sometimes I feel sorry...then I remember they're all grown ass adults with access to 1-12 public education. They can read. And this is what they landed on. We need to use our intelligence to amplify common sense. Felon surrounded by felons. How does that make us safe, productive, competitive and happy? Only a leader as in Joe Biden who is committed to the ideals of our imperfect union - of getting it closer to perfect every day - is what will serve all of us.
I’m sorry about your brother, that’s just terrible that families have been completely torn apart because of that orange hate machine. My sister went down that hole too,, although she hasn’t yet threatened violence.
Yeah Doc, same situation with my sister, she’s in TX, I’m in NM. She totally went down the magat & qanon rabbit hole, would send me vids of whacko Drs saying weird crap about the vax, etc. The worst one was a
“documentary” 🙄 titled “Out of Shaddows” that supposedly proved that the rape of little girls was rampant in Hollywood bc some washed up stunt man said so.
Needless to say, we don’t talk very often anymore. There are so many families who have been torn apart by drumph & his worshippers. It’s beyond sad. I’m glad my Mom didn’t live to be here for this; she would have been even worse than my sister I’m sure.
She had Faux on every waking hour & thought Bill O’Reilly & Hannity were just the best.
I'm sorry for that, PJ. It sux. And there is no reaching them. They only know the 'facts' that are shouted out from Fox and right-wing wackos. I always suspected my brother was a racist, he only confirms it by supporting Trump.
One of the problems with our media is that Cheeto boy gets treated like some kind of celebrity & Biden gets treated like a politician. Cheeto’s policies past & future are rarely discussed-they make it more about the dumb things he says. He needs to say specifically what his policies & vision are for America & the media needs to quit giving him softball questions & never challenging anything he says no matter how stupid or how big of a lie it is. I hope that the debate (if he doesn’t back out of it) will ask questions that are specific & insist that he gives an answer. Or maybe it’s just best to let him meander about water, sharks, windmills & electric cars & look like a fool to the few left out there that haven’t formed an opinion about him yet and those people must have been in a coma for the past 8 yrs
I sure have seen P2025 & read Andra Watkins Substack that interprets it for us non-Evangelicals. However, I’m quite sure that drumph hasn’t read it & knows very little about what’s in it, he is just the figurehead that The Heritage Foundation & Alliance Defending Freedom are using to accomplish making the U.S. into a theocracy.
You are so right. The talking heads give Donald the respect of a serious political leader. When it’s obvious he has no actual policies other than what his tiny brain thinks is good for him in the moment. Time magazine took him seriously. He conned them big time! Donald is a Story Teller. A purveyor of fantasies. If skeptical journalists don’t see through his propaganda BS, America will become Russia.
I was in agreement with David Frumm when he wrote extensively about Biden not legitimizing Trump by agreeing to debate him. Then members of Jeff's blog shared that Donnie is probably going to back out. Yep. I still believe it. Here's why: I thought back on the three hours was it that the media waited breathlessly for Trump to get in front of a microphone, on a stage lined with Trump water, steaks, etc. and then say, in a totally unapologetic way, "Obama is born in the USA." That was it. The Media got played but they always come back for more.
MF and his sickening marriage to the Media - they get worked by him because Trump TV is addictive and earns them beaucoup bucks. Ten gets you twenty, Trump team finds a kernel of plausibility that CNN shared the questions with Biden and he backs out at the 11th hour. I would absolutely expect Trump to keep everyone on stage, the show runners, the whole production team and the secret service for Biden...Then Jake Tapper will have to ad lib and ultimately say, "Breaking news. Former president Donald Trump may have COVID." Then Trump will steal the coverage from CNN, get a camera crew dedicated to him and reveal that CNN Producer (hopefully a woman with a really ethnic name) sent an email to Karine Jean-Pierre with some back channel story to give Biden the best debate outcome and post debate talking points when in reality, the email is two years old and it's really about something else. Trump is the devil. He's falling apart, but what is left is pure bottomless bile.
🎯Yes they have hired too many stenographers who never push back on the lies, and who "both-sides" the shit out of everything. The fucking NYT have said it's not their job to defend democracy.
Maybe someone needs to point that out about the people behind the far-right news as well: Rupert Murdoch (Fox), for instance, who bloats the airwaves with outright lies because "sensationalism sells."
They never were a news outlet, they were formed as a propaganda arm of the republican party by Roger Ailes a Nixon media man.
"Following the 1968 campaign, Ailes was brought in as an adviser to the President for communications, working on several historic television broadcasts.
All eyes were glued to TV sets the night of July 20, 1969 when Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon. President Nixon made a long distance phone call to the moon from the Oval Office to congratulate the astronauts. Thanks to the genius of Ailes, those at home watched on a split-screen as the President and astronauts spoke to each other.
Ailes was also called in to handle the broadcast of President Nixon’s introduction of the new Chief Justice, Warren Burger as well as several televised speeches on the Vietnam War.
I start with MSNBC at 4:00 pm (EST) Dateline White House. Nicole Wallace has more fun with adjectives to describe Trump. (not as good as Jeff) Trump has MSNBC on his hit list.
Hi Dancing Fox, where you said this, "Television convinced people that Trump was an astute businessman", that made me laugh out loud! I watched the Apprentice just two times, enough to know that the show was bullshit, just another Fraud Trump con. Trump is a masterful con man. Due to the industry that I've been involved in almost all of my life, I knew - well before he rode down the golden escalator at Trump Tower (surrounded by actors he paid $50 bucks each to to pad the crowd-size) - that Trump was a liar, a fraud and a con.
How many times have you seen an interviewer at a rally ask why they think D is so great & they say, 'He's a good businessman and that what we need'. 😂....6 bankruptcies.
He bankrupted A CASINO! And I stayed at it. I could look out my window and see his helicopter pad. Only good thing that happened, is that I took some of his money with me when I left.
It really is the ultimate in failure. All a casino does is rake in money, and the house is guaranteed a percentage of the action! What kind of fool would run that into the ground? Well, now we know.
How is it that the scum sucking Mark Burnett was/has been able to escape unscathed after 'grooming & unleashing' Diaper Don on America? I see that SOB is a producer of Shark Tank.
And there are so many books that confirm your statement. One in particular is "Trumped", by John O'Donnell, about his Atlantic City casino ownership debacle. His life has always been a charade, and it's well documented.
He's not masterful as you can open your eyes and see. Masterful insinuates that he is good at it. He's not. He believes he is. One day his followers will wake up and see how he took them for a ride or they won't care as they got tax cuts on the backs of the needy. How sad.
We can blame Roger Ailes, for that obscenity. He was a Nixon young republican, who vowed that he would start a propaganda channel, so that no republican president would ever be impeached again (Nixon stepped down to avoid that fate.) He was aided by evil money man Murdoch, who was fast-tracked for citizenship so he could own said propaganda channel
I'm trying not to get too excited about Thursday because I get the feeling Trumpty Dumpty is going to back out at the last second. In my office we are currently placing bets on what his excuse will be.
I'll be listening to Biden,Trump will be muted,I've been using the line lately 'I certainly do respect your right to free speech,respect my right to ignore your dumb ass'
there is absolutely nothing trmp could say or do that would garner fair critique from his cultists. for them trmp is the winner whether he shows or not.
For sure. The funny as hell caterwauling cum socks would like nothing more than to have their chosen drugged demented imbecile drop out since most are aware that debate prepping doesn't typically happen on a golf course. Then again, this worthless turd did everything on the links instead of attempting to do his job. Stay tuned for what could be the shitshow of the year.
Yet denial is a powerful psychological force. This is what Yahweh said about the Israelites: "They have eyes, but they cannot see, they have ears, but they cannot hear."
I'll go with hubris and over-confidence. He has zero self-awareness and can't see his own dementia. The malignant narcissist is drooling for global media attention and will claim a win. His Shitzenpantz media pundits will echo that, possibly even CNN as well to deflect charges of rigging the debate.
I honestly think he's recognizing his deficits because he said to the crowd if mouth breathers that he is having trouble with his memory. Which do you remember the truth or all the lies you told?
Pretty sure the excuse will be the 'rigged' narrative the toadies are all pushing right now. Hope Biden talks to a podium with a trump mannequin standing behind it, should still get a decent audience with all the hype.
I think of Jeff Tiedrich as my own personal junkyard dog. His fur is scraggly—just look at his picture. Probably missing an eye and an ear.
But he lives in a state of permanent holy hostility and will alert us to every single bad guy out there. 😡😡😡
You can't pay him to do this. It's just in his nature. And he makes McGruff, the so-called “Take a bite out of Crime” fraudster look like a Bichon Frisé with a bow over both ears. 🐩🎀🐩
And right behind Jeff is Ms Spouse. I won't attempt to describe her because terror breeds respect. 🤬🤬🤬
Sometimes life is better than you expected it to be.
I’ve never felt such hostility toward a person in my life. I tend to stay away from “I wish he’d drop dead”. Even my sister’s ex was wished a “go be happy and let us never hear from you again”…with Trump it’s “choke on a burger and die already”. I don’t like that about myself but he’s such a malevolent, negative force in our country that he needs to go. The philosophy will live on but he’s the embodiment.
I agree! And I feel even more angry towards him (and his toadies) for making me feel that way. I blame them for that as well. It's not a state of mind I like for myself.
I'm a veteran,so this 'suckers and losers' crap pisses me right off,every goddamn day,but Trump has exposed Republicans for what they actually are,power-mad greedy grifters who actually hate this country and everything it stands for.
the death of trmp (sooner the better) would bring a global sigh of relief.
while I'm sure the rising american fascist party has an exhaustively laid out contingency plan in the event of a major artery blockage or stroke, it would be an opportunity for a major setback. millions of its waste of oxygen cult would instantly become less involved. the sound of all its wretchedly stupid idolators shutting the fuck up for a few months would be worth it alone.
watching it faceplant dead on the debate stage would be a sight for the ages.
a truly spectacular miracle that would instantly give billions around the world hope.
Can't agree. Dying would be a mercy, and it lets him off without consequences (living the way he has, he's way past his longevity estimates). I want to see him watch everything he's "built" come crashing down on him. Through bars. I long for his long life, without acolytes, privilege, Big Macs or any access to technology.
I want him to suffer the way he has made us suffer for the last 12 years. He deserves to be in excruciating pain for the damage he has done to our beloved country. He is a monster. There is nothing too horrific for him to have to endure for the pain he has inflicted upon all of us. Unfortunately, the cynic in me believes his dementia will be seen as sympathetic and he’ll just be allowed to continue to live out his days in oblivious luxury until his demise.
Consequences? That mountain of shit has lived 78 years with zero consequences. There are no consequences now or in the future. It's delusional to think he will ever be held accountable for anything or if someone incapable of showing remorse or shame or is detached from actual reality like him gives a fuck. It's just one more thing to say is rigged against him, it's all another witch hunt..........and his sub-human fuck cult followers eat that shit up with a shovel. How these vile fucks have not died from E. coli is beyond me. Being convicted of rape and then 34 more felony convictions makes these sub-human MAGA Maggots even more devoted. The more sub-human the act, the better. The only chance this "country" has of moving forward is that disgusting shit stain needs to not be. That fuck needs to drop dead. If you don't believe me, pay very close fucking attention to what's going on right now with that filthy fuck judge in the stolen documents case. A traitor and domestic terrorist is being protected by a system he rigged. There are no consequences. He should die by lethal injection, but instead we now live in the fucking Twilight Zone. It's enough already.
Holy shit,well said,we are absolutely under attack from the babbling idiot cult that actually hates this country and everything it stand for,no escaping that 'reality',if Dem voters don't turn out in record numbers we're in some deep shit.
It's not the bars that I hold dear. It's making him live the rest of his life under someone else's control (a joy to watch in Judge Merchan's court) that I want, with no social media, no rallies, no one kissing the ring. No Adderall (or other) abuse. No one acknowledging what a special boy he is. It's his oxygen. I want it all buried 6 feet under, while he watches.
The sad thing is that his dementia is increasing, exponentially, on a daily basis. By the time it all comes crashing down, if he lives that long, he won't have enough cognitive ability left to even know what's happened.
"Suddenly the noises from Mr. Trump's face quieted and it appeared confused. It drew its front haunches to its neck and clutched the right side of its face in a grotesque display of shock and horror. Clinging to the podium with one free hand, the rear haunches buckled, and in a single fell swoop, it and its props hit the stage floor with a sickening thud and squealing feedback.
"Somehow during the stroke, Mr. Trump's baggy blue clown slacks had loosened and fallen, and the carcass lay on its side. The entire world looked on in disbelief as the half-exposed buttocks of the corpse now faced them while voiding its bowels."
I just want Biden to treat Trump with all the respect he deserves. Last debate, it was, "Will you shut up, man?" Raise that to Defcon 5. Attack his lies, his criminal convictions, the rape judgment, the civil fraud judgment, the adultery, his stupid policies, his delusions, his narcissism, what his foreign policy people say about him, how Putin laughs at him - don't treat him as even worthy to share the stage with the President of the United States.
I detest the sound of his voice and have resorted to transcripts since 2016 and avoid even the sight of his rictus mouth making sounds--but I will tune in Thursday and take delight in every aphasia flag, every laughable lie, every stumble through his word salad, every fart.
I realized this morning that the "story" tone he gets when he comes up with the real whoppers (as opposed to the every-day whoppers that fall out every time he opens his mouth) -- which really fucking irritates the shit out of me every time I hear it -- is like he's a mean kid telling a "fairy tale" to a younger kid he plans to beat up later & steal lunch money from...
I felt physically ill the first time I heard his voice so many years ago, but I, too, am looking forward to what I hope is his finale, going down forever in gaseous flames.
The first time I saw him he was doing an interview in his Trump Tower apt,I think it was 1986 or so, I yelled to my wife 'Honey!! Come look!! It looks like Liberace and Elvis went on a cocaine binge and decorated his apartment,what a no-class loser!!'
hahahaha! good call. NO CLASS nails it. I've witnessed a lot of confident arrogance but never such an entire lack of dignity & respect. not even any pretense of being a gentleman/person, full-out asshole.
"caterwauling cum-socks"? I'll have whatever Jeff is having to crank out hilarious stuff like this! 😂😂 That Leavitt woman fits the Trump criteria perfectly: Blond, plastic surgeried, and obnoxious. Make them go away for good....VOTE BLUE and let's end this stupid shit once and for all.
Don't Republicans ever get tired of the same old complaints and excuses? They should have worn very thin by now: it's rigged, they cheated, it was stolen from me, I have no responsibility, it's someone else's fault, Ad Infinitum.
No, for the average Republican voter in this country, most of the 74 million who voted trumpy last time, it's literally the repetition of a short 'bumper sticker' phrase that they memorize that motivates them to bother voting. Tuned out, apathetic and simple minded people.
I really wonder about that too, why the boy yelling wolf never gets old, as any reasoning person would question eventually. My only conclusion is people abandoning a search for reality in favor of a twisted fantasy. It's sad for people to be living out stories of abuse, thinking perpetuating abuse is ever going to come out right, but I don't have any sympathy for people not willing to look further, that embrace aggression being human nature. That shits on all value in life.
Trump is lucky that Biden isn't taking the bait and saying "Sure, you can drug test me, but only if you do the same. Before and after. How about a strand of hair test while we're at it?"
Jonathan V Last: "If you gave conservative voters a choice between enacting the policy reform of their choice, or pushing Hillary Clinton down a flight of stairs, they’d choose number two every time."
Biden has to keep pointing out that the combover Caligula has no plans for a second term, and at the end of each two minute segment he calls the Mango Assiolini a LOSER. Trump will lose it (pun intended), and become completely unhinged, and spew word salad insults at Biden. Kids— bring your popcorn— it’s going to be a bumpy ride!
This debate will descend into a shitshow of epic proportions. All Joe has to do is be on his game like he was at the State of the Union address. The mango moron will hang himself……
Yes, please! "Why, Donald, do you have no plans for a second term? Maybe something to do with your stated plan to become dictator on Day 1?" (As if he'll stop being a dictator on Day 2. The plans are in place to make certain that after Day 1, no one even has to ask the question.)
You remember when he was waving around his stupendous 'plans',the best 'plans' ever in history,and it turned out to be a blank piece of paper?? That was funny...of course he called 'fake news'
Muting Trump's mic will not shut him up if the coked up squirrels in his head are wound up. When I was in high school over 50 years ago I debated and gave speeches. I was a teenager but I knew how to act right and carry on properly. The last time Trump debated completely destroyed my good memories of doing it so long ago. He doesn't know how to debate. He doesn't know how to act properly. He doesn't know how to cook or mow a lawn. How did people expect him to preside?
Will the Returds have a high speed collision with reality or will the day of reconning be delayed once again? We will see.
I hope he “shits his diaper on live television!” CNN would have to take a break or reschedule the debate, pretend that no one smells anything, or blame the smell on Biden. No matter what happens…trump will be the hero in maga eyes (blinded) and Joe is on drugs. Never tell the truth-just lie and my dumb supporters will believe everything I say! However———popcorn and wine is on my menu for this!!!!!
I was actually there when Evil Knieval attempted and failed to jump the Snake River canyon. Lots of hype then dismal and near fatal failure…yep, sounds familiar.
I broke a lot bones because of that crazy bastard, I think I was 7 when he jumped the fountain at Caesars,took me to at least 30 years old to figure out I wasn't indestructible.
It is totally weird that the media compares President Biden and Fraud Trump as though they were both normal people.

I agree. What happened to the “liberal” media?
According to my parents everything except Newsmax is liberal media. 🤡
That's gotta be hard. I had a sister who was totally Fox-ified and it ruined her life.
Just having a sister, who lived in a town thousands of miles away was rough, it ruined our relationship.
I don't want to imagine the alienation that would happen with parents. Sorry to hear it. It's not just you and certainly not your fault.
When my brother threatened violence after Biden's win in 2020, I stopped talking to him, emailing him, or sharing social media. He's in the cult and I don't care what happens to him.

Only a leader as in Joe Biden who is committed to the ideals of our imperfect union - of getting it closer to perfect every day - is what will serve all of us.
I’m sorry about your brother, that’s just terrible that families have been completely torn apart because of that orange hate machine. My sister went down that hole too,, although she hasn’t yet threatened violence.
Thank you for that. It's just heartbreaking.

that was the wingnut's best con, we have never had a "liberal media" but we used to have actual journalists who reported facts.
Substack and Guardian, right?
It went on line
"This won't be a D vs R contest but an oligarchs vs. democracy vote." First time I've heard it described that way. BULLSEYE!
I'm relieved to know I'm not the only one who thinks so.
Reference, "Horserace Industrial Complex."
👏👏👏👏👏 Absolutely, Joel.
But that's why the MAGAs worship him.

And The Rump has a completely addled brain, so why do the act like he is more coherent than Joe ?
Because our formerly reliable sources are owned by oligarchic wanna-bes.

Honestly I think the journalistic malpractice going on is an enormous part of the problem, and has been since at least 2015. It's shocking.
🎯Yes they have hired too many stenographers who never push back on the lies, and who "both-sides" the shit out of everything. The fucking NYT have said it's not their job to defend democracy.
Maybe someone needs to point that out about the people behind the far-right news as well: Rupert Murdoch (Fox), for instance, who bloats the airwaves with outright lies because "sensationalism sells."

I start with MSNBC at 4:00 pm (EST) Dateline White House. Nicole Wallace has more fun with adjectives to describe Trump. (not as good as Jeff) Trump has MSNBC on his hit list.
Where is that awesomely beautiful boardwalk area in the background of your photo?
Looks like Ocean City NJ to me, about where Clancy's is.
Was.
Hi Dancing Fox, where you said this, "Television convinced people that Trump was an astute businessman", that made me laugh out loud! I watched the Apprentice just two times, enough to know that the show was bullshit, just another Fraud Trump con. Trump is a masterful con man. Due to the industry that I've been involved in almost all of my life, I knew - well before he rode down the golden escalator at Trump Tower (surrounded by actors he paid $50 bucks each to to pad the crowd-size) - that Trump was a liar, a fraud and a con.
Anyone who lived in the NY metro region knew he was a fraud & a con man
How many times have you seen an interviewer at a rally ask why they think D is so great & they say, 'He's a good businessman and that what we need'. 😂....6 bankruptcies.
He bankrupted A CASINO! And I stayed at it. I could look out my window and see his helicopter pad. Only good thing that happened, is that I took some of his money with me when I left.
Fraud, incompetent “businessperson”!Trump bankrupted 4 casinos!
Biden needs to mock him about that!
It really is the ultimate in failure. All a casino does is rake in money, and the house is guaranteed a percentage of the action! What kind of fool would run that into the ground? Well, now we know.
🤭😂
I knew in the early 80’s and I live in California
And of New England, I'm from Maine and we even heard about him stiffing contractors.
Me too but i knew what he was while living in NYC in the 1970’s. He was a social outcast and the butt of many jokes
As a former NY’er, we knew who tRUMP was back in the 80’s. He was always a fraud and a joke to anyone who wasn’t sucking up to him.
Agreed. That show was ridiculous.
How is it that the scum sucking Mark Burnett was/has been able to escape unscathed after 'grooming & unleashing' Diaper Don on America? I see that SOB is a producer of Shark Tank.
And there are so many books that confirm your statement. One in particular is "Trumped", by John O'Donnell, about his Atlantic City casino ownership debacle. His life has always been a charade, and it's well documented.
One has to be literate to know that though, so many of his cultists are not.
Since the 70's first time I laid eyes 👀 on this lying privileged ass
He's not masterful as you can open your eyes and see. Masterful insinuates that he is good at it. He's not. He believes he is. One day his followers will wake up and see how he took them for a ride or they won't care as they got tax cuts on the backs of the needy. How sad.
But he has successfully convinced so many millions of the “needy” that he is their savior.
They have been primed by their hate-churches to be gullible.
We can blame Roger Ailes, for that obscenity. He was a Nixon young republican, who vowed that he would start a propaganda channel, so that no republican president would ever be impeached again (Nixon stepped down to avoid that fate.) He was aided by evil money man Murdoch, who was fast-tracked for citizenship so he could own said propaganda channel
Cheney demanded that ALL the lights be on too! 🤣
Thanks to Mark Burnett who foisted this monster on the world.
I'm trying not to get too excited about Thursday because I get the feeling Trumpty Dumpty is going to back out at the last second. In my office we are currently placing bets on what his excuse will be.
I stand by my belief that hubris and overconfidence will keep Donny from dropping out, but I surely won't be surprised if he does cancel
I agree. If he cancels, he'll make up something denigrating someone. It is ALWAYS someone else's fault. Literally always.
You can pretty much count on it.
I think he'll storm off when his microphone gets muted.
I'll put down a hundred bucks that he shouts over Biden, un-miked.
Sorry, no one is going to take that bet. Anyway, he will just continue to shout without a mike. I wish there was a Cone of Silence over his head.
He needs one of those dog bark collars that sprays water in his face.
Like the Get Smart cone of secrecy thing? I vote for that. 🤣🤣🤣
I wish disgrace, disgusting Trump was in a crate of silence (a coffin!).
Ok Prymat
😆🤣
I was thinking that too, or that he'd walk over to where Biden is standing to shout into his microphone.
😆 I’d like to see that! Maybe they’ll end up in a fist fight!
I heard yesterday he's going with the 'immigrants are murdering the white folks' thing.
I'll be listening to Biden,Trump will be muted,I've been using the line lately 'I certainly do respect your right to free speech,respect my right to ignore your dumb ass'
I do too. Not the first time though, maybe the fourth or fifth
Good! He will definitely pull a face.
Trump does know that not showing up for the game looks bad. Even in MAGA country.
there is absolutely nothing trmp could say or do that would garner fair critique from his cultists. for them trmp is the winner whether he shows or not.
Totally agree. But they are a decided minority. Lot of non political people will be judging character on Thursday. 🤫
For sure. The funny as hell caterwauling cum socks would like nothing more than to have their chosen drugged demented imbecile drop out since most are aware that debate prepping doesn't typically happen on a golf course. Then again, this worthless turd did everything on the links instead of attempting to do his job. Stay tuned for what could be the shitshow of the year.
The mango moron spent 307 days on the golf course while play acting as president…
You could probably count on emperor anus lips spending even more time on the links if in the worst case scenario, the voters were to let that happen.
That and he’s lost touch reality to the point that he doesn’t understand that showing up will also be bad.
Agree--I'm having trouble seeing any possible excuse that won't make him look like a weak loser.
Yet denial is a powerful psychological force. This is what Yahweh said about the Israelites: "They have eyes, but they cannot see, they have ears, but they cannot hear."
I'm counting on his head exploding the first time his mic is shut off.
I'll go with hubris and over-confidence. He has zero self-awareness and can't see his own dementia. The malignant narcissist is drooling for global media attention and will claim a win. His Shitzenpantz media pundits will echo that, possibly even CNN as well to deflect charges of rigging the debate.
I honestly think he's recognizing his deficits because he said to the crowd if mouth breathers that he is having trouble with his memory. Which do you remember the truth or all the lies you told?
He doesn’t know the difference between truth and lies.
Maybe due to a case of terminal heel spurs?
I would prefer a real one, but you get what you get.
A real one works for me 🙏
A heart attack OR a massive debilitating stroke!
Pretty sure the excuse will be the 'rigged' narrative the toadies are all pushing right now. Hope Biden talks to a podium with a trump mannequin standing behind it, should still get a decent audience with all the hype.
The mannequin will present more coherent arguments than PAB would have, anyway.
Ha!!! And have less paint on its face too!
Like those Chatty Cathy dolls where you pulled a string on its back and it spoke. The Trump mannequin would say, “Rigged debate! Rigged election!”
😂😂
Bone spurs is my best guess
Old draft-dodging bone spurs acting up, perhaps?
And I hope numb nuts does
Or stroke out like Mitch.
I'll take guineas for a dollar please.......
Is there a diaper size bigger than 'Extra, extra large'??
I think of Jeff Tiedrich as my own personal junkyard dog. His fur is scraggly—just look at his picture. Probably missing an eye and an ear.
But he lives in a state of permanent holy hostility and will alert us to every single bad guy out there. 😡😡😡
You can't pay him to do this. It's just in his nature. And he makes McGruff, the so-called “Take a bite out of Crime” fraudster look like a Bichon Frisé with a bow over both ears. 🐩🎀🐩
And right behind Jeff is Ms Spouse. I won't attempt to describe her because terror breeds respect. 🤬🤬🤬
Sometimes life is better than you expected it to be.
My bichon resembles that remark! He does NOT wear bows. He DOES wear a Blue Wave collar, tho.
So good
I think Jeff and I look pretty similar.. obviously pretty of good,high-powered water pressure to wash those long locks.
Bruce. was it you or Jeff the twin that got adopted?
IDK, I look a little like the Mailman.
You can't comment if you don't subscribe! Jeff started writing before he had hardly any subscribers at all.
I started following him on Twitter because he's just as pissed as I am.
I want to witness that filthy nazi fuck die on live tv.
I’ve never felt such hostility toward a person in my life. I tend to stay away from “I wish he’d drop dead”. Even my sister’s ex was wished a “go be happy and let us never hear from you again”…with Trump it’s “choke on a burger and die already”. I don’t like that about myself but he’s such a malevolent, negative force in our country that he needs to go. The philosophy will live on but he’s the embodiment.
I agree! And I feel even more angry towards him (and his toadies) for making me feel that way. I blame them for that as well. It's not a state of mind I like for myself.
Don’t feel bad. I’m sure all of us have thought like that at one time or another. It’s called “wanting to save democracy “.
I think this is how people felt about Hitler. tRump elicits the horror reflex in normal humans.
Desperate times........
Indeed
I'm a veteran,so this 'suckers and losers' crap pisses me right off,every goddamn day,but Trump has exposed Republicans for what they actually are,power-mad greedy grifters who actually hate this country and everything it stands for.
the death of trmp (sooner the better) would bring a global sigh of relief.
while I'm sure the rising american fascist party has an exhaustively laid out contingency plan in the event of a major artery blockage or stroke, it would be an opportunity for a major setback. millions of its waste of oxygen cult would instantly become less involved. the sound of all its wretchedly stupid idolators shutting the fuck up for a few months would be worth it alone.
watching it faceplant dead on the debate stage would be a sight for the ages.
a truly spectacular miracle that would instantly give billions around the world hope.
That is what I resent the MOST about that colossal waste of oxygen—I have never felt anything close to what passes for “hatred” like I have since 2015
Can't agree. Dying would be a mercy, and it lets him off without consequences (living the way he has, he's way past his longevity estimates). I want to see him watch everything he's "built" come crashing down on him. Through bars. I long for his long life, without acolytes, privilege, Big Macs or any access to technology.
I want him to suffer the way he has made us suffer for the last 12 years. He deserves to be in excruciating pain for the damage he has done to our beloved country. He is a monster. There is nothing too horrific for him to have to endure for the pain he has inflicted upon all of us. Unfortunately, the cynic in me believes his dementia will be seen as sympathetic and he’ll just be allowed to continue to live out his days in oblivious luxury until his demise.
Consequences? That mountain of shit has lived 78 years with zero consequences. There are no consequences now or in the future. It's delusional to think he will ever be held accountable for anything or if someone incapable of showing remorse or shame or is detached from actual reality like him gives a fuck. It's just one more thing to say is rigged against him, it's all another witch hunt..........and his sub-human fuck cult followers eat that shit up with a shovel. How these vile fucks have not died from E. coli is beyond me. Being convicted of rape and then 34 more felony convictions makes these sub-human MAGA Maggots even more devoted. The more sub-human the act, the better. The only chance this "country" has of moving forward is that disgusting shit stain needs to not be. That fuck needs to drop dead. If you don't believe me, pay very close fucking attention to what's going on right now with that filthy fuck judge in the stolen documents case. A traitor and domestic terrorist is being protected by a system he rigged. There are no consequences. He should die by lethal injection, but instead we now live in the fucking Twilight Zone. It's enough already.
👏👏👏👏Scott! Well said. Don’t forget he is also being protected by the conservative fucks on the SC, who took the immunity question & won’t rule on it,
I suspect that tRump is the most hated man on earth.
Holy shit,well said,we are absolutely under attack from the babbling idiot cult that actually hates this country and everything it stand for,no escaping that 'reality',if Dem voters don't turn out in record numbers we're in some deep shit.
Yes, Scott! Yes!
I’m going for the aphasic stroke though they'll probably use an AI hologram to spit out his ongoing oral shit.
Oral hemorrhoids is my guess ,his anus mouth is swelled and painful leaving him unable to speak !1st time in his miserable life!🤭🫢🤒,just shit luck 🍀!
and you know, there's always a chance that the AI is smarter and will do less damage...
I don’t think he’s smart enough to fake this new level of mentally gone, but I do fear that it will keep him out of prison 😢.
It's not the bars that I hold dear. It's making him live the rest of his life under someone else's control (a joy to watch in Judge Merchan's court) that I want, with no social media, no rallies, no one kissing the ring. No Adderall (or other) abuse. No one acknowledging what a special boy he is. It's his oxygen. I want it all buried 6 feet under, while he watches.
The sad thing is that his dementia is increasing, exponentially, on a daily basis. By the time it all comes crashing down, if he lives that long, he won't have enough cognitive ability left to even know what's happened.
Will never happen. Too much deference given to an ex “president”- even an accidental one
"Suddenly the noises from Mr. Trump's face quieted and it appeared confused. It drew its front haunches to its neck and clutched the right side of its face in a grotesque display of shock and horror. Clinging to the podium with one free hand, the rear haunches buckled, and in a single fell swoop, it and its props hit the stage floor with a sickening thud and squealing feedback.
"Somehow during the stroke, Mr. Trump's baggy blue clown slacks had loosened and fallen, and the carcass lay on its side. The entire world looked on in disbelief as the half-exposed buttocks of the corpse now faced them while voiding its bowels."
Are you allowed to talk all sexy like that here????????????
What an image!
EUUUWWWWW!!!! and WOOHOOOOO!!!!! all at once...
The above is rated XXX—adults only! 🤢🤢🤢
And after 20 seconds, Joe Biden asked Tapper to repeat the question
Delicious scenario
You forgot we'll see his spanks and girdle.
Yes, please. 👍
I just want Biden to treat Trump with all the respect he deserves. Last debate, it was, "Will you shut up, man?" Raise that to Defcon 5. Attack his lies, his criminal convictions, the rape judgment, the civil fraud judgment, the adultery, his stupid policies, his delusions, his narcissism, what his foreign policy people say about him, how Putin laughs at him - don't treat him as even worthy to share the stage with the President of the United States.
Nancy.... you keep a sharp eye for all that stuff and I'll keep watch for the most massive and excruciating stroke in the history of history. Deal????
deal
Oh that would be the highlight of my life!!
I’ll drink to that! And pray for that!
I detest the sound of his voice and have resorted to transcripts since 2016 and avoid even the sight of his rictus mouth making sounds--but I will tune in Thursday and take delight in every aphasia flag, every laughable lie, every stumble through his word salad, every fart.
That and Biden’s witty retorts. I hope he keeps talking when they mute his mic so we can, again, hear “Will you shut up man”.
I understand. His dead voice is just unbearable.
Whiney, dead voice.
I realized this morning that the "story" tone he gets when he comes up with the real whoppers (as opposed to the every-day whoppers that fall out every time he opens his mouth) -- which really fucking irritates the shit out of me every time I hear it -- is like he's a mean kid telling a "fairy tale" to a younger kid he plans to beat up later & steal lunch money from...
That creepy thing he does with long I. "BEYEden! ChEYEna! They indEYEted me!"
I felt physically ill the first time I heard his voice so many years ago, but I, too, am looking forward to what I hope is his finale, going down forever in gaseous flames.
The first time I saw him he was doing an interview in his Trump Tower apt,I think it was 1986 or so, I yelled to my wife 'Honey!! Come look!! It looks like Liberace and Elvis went on a cocaine binge and decorated his apartment,what a no-class loser!!'
hahahaha! good call. NO CLASS nails it. I've witnessed a lot of confident arrogance but never such an entire lack of dignity & respect. not even any pretense of being a gentleman/person, full-out asshole.
Money can't buy class,Trump and the MAGAs prove it every day...
He called President Biden "Joe Bride" in Pennsylvania. I kid you not.
"Will Be Wild"! Oh, hell yes.
"caterwauling cum-socks"? I'll have whatever Jeff is having to crank out hilarious stuff like this! 😂😂 That Leavitt woman fits the Trump criteria perfectly: Blond, plastic surgeried, and obnoxious. Make them go away for good....VOTE BLUE and let's end this stupid shit once and for all.
Bannon “a one man leper colony”
Hahahaha and ewww
He’s just nasty. Ugh!
He's a walking,talking hemorrhoid.🤮🤮
Yeah I've gotten a lot of mileage with following" functionally, his mouth and his anus are the same'"
He's like the drunk at a bar with Napoleon syndrome,picking fights,and writing checks he can't cash.
His drunken asswill be in jail soon enough.DT’s to follow while he is in jail….detoxing is awful but can’t be enough for this treasonous fuck.
I know, right? That was brilliant.
Am wondering if Bannon will wear three orange jumpsuits in prison.
Yep. I just lol’d in the lobby of a hotel😉
Susan, Cum-sock will be added to the dictionary in a few years.
😂😂. Oh good! I can’t wait!🤣
Omg, the comments on here are hilarious today!
👍👍👍
Don't Republicans ever get tired of the same old complaints and excuses? They should have worn very thin by now: it's rigged, they cheated, it was stolen from me, I have no responsibility, it's someone else's fault, Ad Infinitum.
No, for the average Republican voter in this country, most of the 74 million who voted trumpy last time, it's literally the repetition of a short 'bumper sticker' phrase that they memorize that motivates them to bother voting. Tuned out, apathetic and simple minded people.
You’re being far too generous toward those deluded tRump worshippers
I really wonder about that too, why the boy yelling wolf never gets old, as any reasoning person would question eventually. My only conclusion is people abandoning a search for reality in favor of a twisted fantasy. It's sad for people to be living out stories of abuse, thinking perpetuating abuse is ever going to come out right, but I don't have any sympathy for people not willing to look further, that embrace aggression being human nature. That shits on all value in life.
Like brain-damaged parrots with a bad attitude.
Trump is lucky that Biden isn't taking the bait and saying "Sure, you can drug test me, but only if you do the same. Before and after. How about a strand of hair test while we're at it?"
If CD I was Biden I’d say “ Well, I wasn’t recorded with white stuff falling out of my nose like you were, Pal.
Truer words never spoken:
Jonathan V Last: "If you gave conservative voters a choice between enacting the policy reform of their choice, or pushing Hillary Clinton down a flight of stairs, they’d choose number two every time."
https://www.thebulwark.com/p/the-two-faces-of-trump
Understandable, since their policy consists of nothing other than whining about the policies of others.
Biden has to keep pointing out that the combover Caligula has no plans for a second term, and at the end of each two minute segment he calls the Mango Assiolini a LOSER. Trump will lose it (pun intended), and become completely unhinged, and spew word salad insults at Biden. Kids— bring your popcorn— it’s going to be a bumpy ride!
This debate will descend into a shitshow of epic proportions. All Joe has to do is be on his game like he was at the State of the Union address. The mango moron will hang himself……
🍿🍿🍿
Yes, please! "Why, Donald, do you have no plans for a second term? Maybe something to do with your stated plan to become dictator on Day 1?" (As if he'll stop being a dictator on Day 2. The plans are in place to make certain that after Day 1, no one even has to ask the question.)
You remember when he was waving around his stupendous 'plans',the best 'plans' ever in history,and it turned out to be a blank piece of paper?? That was funny...of course he called 'fake news'
He better refer to him as a convicted felon at least 3 times!!
Mango Mussolini definitely has plans for a second term - big plans. They're available to the public as "Project 2025."
Honest to goodness, at first glance I read "mediocre white male" as "mediocre white whale."
Well, if the ocean fits...
😂😂😂
😂😂
😂😂😂😂👍
😂😂😂😂
Muting Trump's mic will not shut him up if the coked up squirrels in his head are wound up. When I was in high school over 50 years ago I debated and gave speeches. I was a teenager but I knew how to act right and carry on properly. The last time Trump debated completely destroyed my good memories of doing it so long ago. He doesn't know how to debate. He doesn't know how to act properly. He doesn't know how to cook or mow a lawn. How did people expect him to preside?
Will the Returds have a high speed collision with reality or will the day of reconning be delayed once again? We will see.
Ah, yes, the halcyon days when sarcasm would get you ranked last speaker. (I loved Debate in HS.)
Sarcasm, character assassination, and general ugliness was not a good strategy in debating. This is all Trump has.
I love halcion!! 🙃
The returds will have a bag load of excuses for the rotting rump.
No excuses needed! They’ll declare that Trump destroyed Biden in the debate even if all he did was babel and make accusations.
'Coked up squirrels in his head are wound up'...pure brilliance!! 😄😄😄😄
Jeff said it first.
Delayed
I hope he “shits his diaper on live television!” CNN would have to take a break or reschedule the debate, pretend that no one smells anything, or blame the smell on Biden. No matter what happens…trump will be the hero in maga eyes (blinded) and Joe is on drugs. Never tell the truth-just lie and my dumb supporters will believe everything I say! However———popcorn and wine is on my menu for this!!!!!
Same here....popcorn, maybe a few other snacks....what kind of wine pairs with Schadenfreude???? 😂😂
Not wine. Wild Turkey 😂
Damn! You're serious!😆😆
Hah! I’ve never actually had it. 😂
I do like bourbon tho
See...thats why you and I like each other! Love bourbon! :)
Yes! Perhaps when we get together we can have some
Lordy, Margot! I barely remember drinking that once! 🤣
😂😂 Wild Turkey is liquid amnesia.
Oh Man.... it hurt me. 🤣 Give me a smooth double barrel like Noble Oak.
Black Velvet has the same effect. I know a lot of people who got into some shit when bombed on Black Velvet.
I'll stick with Irish whiskey....🥃
Powers, Tullamore, or.......
Redbreast. Or perhaps a single malt ....
Any kind you like!
😂😂
I'm pretty sure I'm listening to Biden,and muting Trump,his shit got old for me about 9 years ago.
Bruce-not even for the comedy relief? I’m trying to be positive here! 🤪
Evil Knievel was a crazy man who turned people on by doing ridiculous stunts.
The stars of MAGA are crazy people who turn people on by trying to jump the country over the Grand Canyon.
Just for the thrill . . .
I was actually there when Evil Knieval attempted and failed to jump the Snake River canyon. Lots of hype then dismal and near fatal failure…yep, sounds familiar.
I had a soft spot for Evil. I like people who try extreme things, but not with the fate of millions at stake.
I broke a lot bones because of that crazy bastard, I think I was 7 when he jumped the fountain at Caesars,took me to at least 30 years old to figure out I wasn't indestructible.

Have you seen this video made by the Colbert team yet? Hilarious "That's not his name" - https://youtu.be/zAPahfCH4vs?si=MWPR8JGwb7n2NT5Q
OMG! Thats hilarious! Thanks for sharing that! 😂😂😂
I couldn't stop laughing!
That's hysterical!!! 😄😄😄😄
Fantastic!
