OK, can we all agree that any headline that includes the phrase “Trump says” is not worth the pixels it’s printed with?*
At this stage of the Brain Syph he’s just farting higher than his ass, and which end of him smells worse has to be up for grabs, if you’re wearing rubber gloves and have a cattle prod handy.
Shit, he doesn’t even know what he wants to steal anymore — Greenland or Iceland.
If I were running the Walt Disney Company I’d be concerned. The crazy fucker might be coming for Disneyland.
* Also, any headline that says “Fact-Checking Trump’s [whatever] Speech.” No fact-checking required. If his lips are moving, he’s lying and/or raving.

Speechless, is what I am, and I wish he was. Well, everyone talked about a constitutional crisis; maybe we are in one now?
We aren’t in a constitutional crisis. We have the Constitution to guide us. All we have to do is force our congressional and senatorial leaders to follow it and remove the problem. Fuck the politics and whether you will be elected next year. Do your job and then work on putting forward a more competent candidate in the future.
I respectfully disagree. We have an out of control executive branch with no checks and balances restraint by the legislative and judicial branches. That is the very definition of a constitutional crises.
It doesn’t matter what we call it. I’m not certain the Founders thought we’d become so preposterously pig-ignorant as to elect someone like this not just once, but twice, and hand him the House and Senate to boot.
The “rule of law” we’re so fond of is meaningless in the face of a criminal executive who doesn’t believe in it, aided and abetted by fixers, thugs, and lickspittles who feel likewise; a cowardly Congress that refuses to bring these gangsters to heel; and an activist Supreme Court that will bend, fold, spindle, and/or mutilate the Constitution as its purposes dictate.
And then you have an electorate that would rather focus on the Battling Beckhams, a tool-using cow, and “Heated Rivalry.”
And you can read all about it on truth social where every click puts money in his pocket.
As former CIA director John Brennan said this afternoon on CNN, Trump’s “speech” made him feel ashamed to be an American. I would add to that sentiment my embarrassment and anger at the “performance” by our Moron in Chief. He makes us all look bad to the whole world.
If you are headed down a dark, switchbacked road and the driver is a drunken, raving, lunatic, you gotta stop the car.
Why stop the car? Let’s just wait until one of the switchbacks with the deepest ravine and push the out-of-control driver out the door and on a journey to discover if he really can fly. Although, stopping the car and backing up over him a time or two sure would be satisfying.
I wonder how many times a day that Putin laughs about our current white house renovator? “Really comrade? He said that? Oh! The humor! The humor!”
Just read your copyright paragraph below. Chapeau, and that should keep the ignorant away from your pickle barrel.
Gavin Newsome has a way with words.
I thought about changing the header image and text to something seditious, or do a daily “Fuck This Guy” post, but both seemed too in-your-face. Better, I thought, to Easter egg the sumbitch down there with the copyright/disclaimer.
When I first searched for Newsom’s sit down interview. the only major news source that had it was Deutsche Velle. That tells you something about our timid national media.
What I’m finding more and more these days is that to keep abreast of the latest you almost have to have some sort of social-media access, which drives me witless. I quit Facebook and Twitter years ago, then tried Mastodon and Bluesky when they came out and quickly abandoned both.
What I do now is check in with a couple of blogs recommended by the late, great Kevin Drum — Digby’s Hullabaloo and Balloon Juice. These folks keep their fingers on the pulse, and I can use their windows to peek at that world.
Multiple contributors at both places, and some really sharp folks among them. Can’t recommend ’em enough.
You’ll want to pack up and move to Canada after listening to or reading this.
