never mind – the very idea is too gross even if nothing happened
I really do not like this timeline we are living in.
Bill Pulte is the new acting Director of National Intelligence. Two years ago he received a trophy declaring he “Fucks Only The Young” at an event he organized dedicated to the conspiracy that Bed, Bath and Beyond never went bankrupt. The event had a dildo theme, including the presenter slapping another participant in the face with one.
The presenter goes by “PP,” aka “The Vape Ape,” and is a pusher of the conspiracy theory that a series of children’s books contain hidden messages insinuating that all defunct Bed Bath & Beyond shares will be reinstated and more valuable than NVIDIA. Pulte had him MCing much of this event.
There is video because of course there fucking is.
I found a funny picture with caption, but I can’t seem to get the image in order to post it.
I’m not the only one that knows Pulte’s back story!
Sometimes you read something and you have to question if your having a stroke. Like, Did I just see these words all strung together?
That’s an event from the long ago past. If you’ve ever seen the felon’s tweets/xits/truths, you already know he’s trying to write English like it’s one of the click languages. Words strung together. Would that it be! These clowns, especially the clown-in-chief, can’t even string letters together correctly.
Just an aside, I’ve heard Mar-a-lago referred to as “Bed, Bugs, and Beyond”.
There are allegations that the have had a bed bug problem, but Trump denies it. [sarcasm]After all, why would Trump lie?[/sarcasm]
Why not put a convicted criminal in charge of counter-terrorism? After all, there’s a convicted felon as president. (The bolding is mine.)
I just lost all respect for the Citadel.
Ha! I knew I’d seen something like that before! That’s it.
That was exactly my reaction.
I don’t mind that Trump keeps digging downward. The Hot Place is his eventual destination anyway.
The only thing I’d change is the TV shouldn’t be on the back of the toilet. It should be visible when you’re seated in case you’re watching an important game and an emergency overcomes you.
Otherwise perfect.
Forget the fucking *****s, you should watch what the Spanish and the German press are doing while trying to translate that fucking mess. No, they don’t use *s:
ElDiario(dot)es and El País have translated it as “jodidamente loco”, which is literally fucking crazy, only it makes no sense at all. In fact, fucking being a gerundium the literal translation would be “jodiendo loco”, but that is even weirder.
The German press mostly quoted the English original: fucking crazy. It makes no sense to try to translate it and this level of English is surely understood by anyone who reads a newspaper here.
The library is superfluous. Remember who we are talking about.
As an aside: had someone else, say a Palestinian student, said the same in a public speech in a university, Harvard for instance, he would have been expelled. From the university and the country. For antisemitism.
Baldrick: …and I’ve nearly finished the Christmas cards.
Ebeneezer: [taking off his tall hat] Oh, splendid! Let me see… [opens up a card he has picked up from the desk] “A Very Messy Christmas.” I’m sorry, Mr Baldrick — shouldn’t that be ‘merry’?
Baldrick: “A Merry Messy Christmas”? All right, but the main thing is that it should be messy — messy cake; soggy pudding; great big wet kisses under the mistletoe…
Ebeneezer: Yes… [going to hang up his coat and scarf] I fear, Mr Baldrick, that the only way you’re likely to get a big wet kiss at Christmas — or, indeed, any other time — is to make a pass at a water closet. However, be that as it may… [Baldrick gives him the card again] “A Merry Messy Christmas.” ‘Christmas’ as an H in it, Mr Baldrick.
Baldrick: Oh…
Ebeneezer: …and an R. Also an I, and an S. Also T and M and A… …and another S. Oh, and you’ve missed out the C at the beginning. Congratulations, Mr Baldrick! Something of a triumph, I think — you must be the first person ever to spell ‘Christmas’ without getting any of the letters right at all.
Paul Krugman today. To which I say, “If only!”
Donald Trump will never admit that his gratuitous Iran war has been a total disaster. But the debacle has clearly broken him. So we are now saddled with a president who has given up governing, but will maintain his grip on power wherever he can. And his power will be exclusively focused on rage and revenge.
…
Just to be clear, I am by no means saying that Trump’s descent into rage-madness has ended the threat to U.S. democracy. The Koch-backed Federalist Society, which now controls the Supreme Court, is going all in on rigging U.S. elections with the goal of locking in permanent Republican rule. The architects of Project 2025 are marching ahead with their goal of turning the federal government into a spoils system that answers only to billionaires and their political pawns. Politicization of research funding is getting very close to destroying a scientific community that took generations to build.
But Trump himself is, at this point, little more than a festering ball of anger and hate.
Ya know…that’s the closest thing to a true statement that Trump has ever uttered.
Um, Paul? Not "exclusively." You left out “and stealing as much cash as he can from the public.”
