Wolverine and proud father of a Judge/Jumbo and Badger; lawyer; wordie; persistent golfer; eternal optimist. Lamenting the criminal Trump’s lack of accountability, but stay tuned. I like to chime in. Westchester, NY

Trump plunges the US economy into chaos and uncertainty: The erratic trade policy and the worsening fiscal crisis are dragging down economic growth and increasing the risk of a recession english.elpais.com/economy-and-...
Trump’s week of humiliation: first, Putin laughed in his face and increased Ukraine bombings; then, he’s told all of Wall Street mocks him mercilessly with #TacoTrump; and then a federal court rules his reckless signature tariff policy is unconstitutional. Lmao. And it’s only Wednesday.
Trump’s humiliation continues. Putin couldn’t pay Trump any less respect. It’s impossible. What a sad joke
While I believe Trump is mentally ill, and probably mentally impaired, I also believe that he is fundamentally a stupid human being. As ignorant as they come.
I have the strong feeling that this is the calm before the storm
If Hegseth is indeed out by the 100 day mark, will 100 days (or whatever) be the new Scaramucci?
Everything about Hegseth as SecDef was as predictable as it has been disastrous.
Odds that Vance will exploit Pope Francis’ death by claiming the Pope, in their meeting the day prior, said all sorts of things “supportive” of the Trump/Vance agenda, lies that, sadly, the Pipe can never refute?
When I first saw this, I assumed it was from the Onion. We have an absolute malevolent narcissist psychopath as our president. nypost.com/2025/04/10/u...
I can’t wait to see the stories from inside the White House regarding how Trump has zero clue about what the bond market is, how it operates or what a bond is.
So, @maddow.msnbc.com, was your waffle party inspired by Severance!?!
Still can’t get Adolescence out of my mind. It was beautiful, scary, heartbreaking and raw.
An utter hellscape. Or, in Trumpspeak, American Carnage.
the Spite Presidency. Ripped from the pages of Curb.
The stock market is crashing and Trump is going to play golf.
Driving up the cost of tuxedos
Elect the dumbest man in the US as president, get the dumbest policies. It’s so simple.
Who could have ever envisioned China retaliating on tariffs? SMH
Reagan swimming on the beach suddenly seems so quaint.
I’m considering opening up a bunch of smoothie franchises in Utah.
Hey Michael Waltz, resign. You can at least say you lasted longer than Flynn.
Every facet of the Trump 2.0 administion has been replete with either rank incompetence, gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct.
How does a national security advisor who commits the biggest security breach in decades (and then lies about it and fails to take responsibility for it) actually stay in this position?
I have a sneaking suspicion that Paul Weiss agreed because they decided they’d devote an outsized proportion of their donated pro bono legal services to fighting antisemitism (which was one of the causes on “the list”). And I’d be totally OK with that.
There will never be a public elementary school, middle school or high school named after Donald Trump, and there will never be a federal courthouse named after Donald Trump.
I love that Rachel is leading with the focus group of Trump voters.
Of course, the only way this is legit is if the entire field forfeited.
Tesla shareholders cannot be very happy with Musk/Trump. For that matter, any stockholder of any public equity securities should be seething, as the Trump Crash has wiped away trillions of dollars of gains under Biden.
They'll probably walk away with a $1 billion gov't contract, to boot.
Mississippi?
nypost.com/2025/03/04/o... The captions just write themselves.
Rachel Maddow is a national treasure
💯. Vintage Conan. And great to see him back.
So much for Trump’s ability to end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours of taking office, right? How’s that workin’ out for you fools who believed him and promoted this ridiculous notion as if it were sane, reasonable and rational?
The stock market is melting down, consumer prices are higher, and hundreds of thousands of government workers and others are now recently unemployed. This is Trumpeconomics for ya.
“Always”? You need a better filter. 😂
Yep. Even the small moments, like Irv meticulously coming his mustache before going to the door, were beautiful.
If Donald Trump dares to run for a third term, Barack Obama should run against him.
I was just thinking what the R could stand for! 😊
Of what year?
Trump's in so far over his head. His stupidity, masked as unpredictability, could spell global economic doom. Our only hope is if someone can talk him out of his horrible decisions and give him some face saving reason for doing so.
Yep. Trump is the embodiment of fraud and abuse.
I just heard Ten Years Gone the other day. I had forgotten just how beautiful and mind blowing this track is.
Playbook: 1. Dems -- expose Trump's lies, malfeasance, corruption and incompetence daily and formally (see @cherijacobus.bsky.social) 2. Media -- expose Trumpers' hypocrisy; establish their "values"; then, and only then, ask how Trump's actions (see 1 above) align with such values. (They won't.)
Movie trope pet peeve of the day: when the main characters are dining in a crowded restaurant and some blowup argument or other crazy shit happens at their table yet literally NONE of the other patrons cast their eyes towards the action. Talk about suspension of disbelief!?!
Quebec City was one of the most fun and interesting places I’ve ever visited.
Pack
Every single time Sec. Hegseth comes to congress to give testimony, the ranking Dem should ask Hegseth (a) if he is drunk now and (b) when was the last time he consumed an alcoholic beverage.
Zero surprises. Garbage in, garbage out
Last night I saw “All In” on Broadway. It’s a cast of only 4: Lin Manuel Miranda, Jimmy Fallon, Aidy Bryant and the incomparable Nick Kroll, who act out various short stories written by Simon Rich. Probably the most brilliant and funniest show I’ve seen in a decade. #AllInBroadway.
January has officially 5 hours left. Finally. Geeesh.
Does he also hang wallpaper?
Well that kicked in quickly
Will anyone ever notice? His relevancy has been marginalized for years.
Classless and pathetic
How many “bag of bags” does one need???
The next question should have been: “So, as Biden was trying to pass the bipartisan immigration bill last year, do you now withdraw all of your past criticism of his handling of the economy during such time or is it only acceptable to focus on immigration when it’s a republican?”
He thinks he was elected King of the World.
Agree, but I think the more he’s excoriated by the Dem base the less allegiance he’ll feel to his party. So just tolerate him. “Keep your friends close but your enemies closer.”
And why couldn’t the Dems include this in their top 3 talking points during the election? Who’s running the show there, and why?
The so-called “hellscape” that Trump maliciously described he was inheriting from Biden sounds just a bit more like what Biden could have accurately described what he indeed inherited from Trump when he took over 4 years ago, during, ya know, the pandemic and highest unemployment in a century.
Trump will, of course, take credit for anything/ everything that might be considered even marginally positive in our nation over the next 4 years. For the Dems to retake the presidency, America has to suffer such a tremendous decline that Trump’s failures are unconverted or they need a better plan.
Imagine if Biden or Obama failed to take their presidential oaths on a Bible. The MAGAts would lose their minds.
Imagine being the Attorney General and being most proud not of upholding justice but instead of upholding “norms” in the face of unthinkable and unprecedented injustice. What a waste.
Monday’s crowd size: 17 or so.
The finale scene in “Slumdog millionaire“
“Anonymous smears” does not me such statements are untruthful.
But then why not at least a fine and/or restitution?
I’m not sure why Trump couldn’t have been sentenced to a, say, three year prison term plus a fine and restitution, with the prison term suspended indefinitely (at least for the duration of his term in office). Any thoughts?
Make no mistake: had Trump lost the election, he would have been sentenced to a multi-year prison term.

Feels like 1°.

Mar a Lago may well be the cheesiest glorified catering hall of all time.
Exactly
Movie trope pet peeve of the day: actors holding coffee cups or boxes that are clearly empty yet, per the script, are meant to have contents. At least put something in them (water in the cups? old papers in the boxes?) to make the actors holding them seem more natural. Otherwise, it looks silly.
May it last for 8 nights and then some. 😂
Brag why don’t ya. 😂
So to answer the classic question: the best Christmas movie, of all time, is Scrooged! And it’s not even close.
Deserves an extended stay in prison.
Impressive!
And she’s considered to be a “normal” pick. Omg is right.
Hatred of Gaetz rises above party. That’s how much Gaetz is loathed. 😂
American Carnage was a mere appetizer
The ports of call in Alaska were particularly overrun and cheesy. Such a horrible representation of a beautiful state.
They haven't yet quite squared the circle on how Obama and Biden could possibly have been elected, too.
I'll believe it when i hear it. And: be sure he didn't enter into a *new* agreement with the woman, too.
and yet he didn't use his power to prevent it. Pathetic and cowardly
oh, really???? who would've thunk it.
Let them air it a 3:15 am.
I’m sure they’ll be ok raising this issue now as it’s been just a bit after the massacre. We wouldn’t want to politicize it.
Unreal.
Yep. From dealing with profound policy failures to having to listen to his whiny, plaintive, disgusting voice saying altogether inane and utterly ridiculous and moronic things.
Now that he knows what "groceries" mean, he realizes that he doesn't control their prices.
Thank you - i had just under 5000 followers over at the bad place and i'm eager to find more of my old friends here (and make new ones....)!
It’s so pathetically funny how you can tell in an instant when Trump just learns of a commonplace word and tries to pass it off as if it’s a Herculean discovery on his part.
Yep. And they don’t stop. They just get more emboldened and ruin more people’s lives.
💙
Which is exactly why reporters and other journalists need to have asked questions to “everyday Americans” about policies first, get their buy-in, and then ask, something along the lines of “ah, so you support what the Biden administration’s policies after all, right?”
