Okay, I’ll make the obligatory “Trump tilting at windmills” joke
Mine was a broken tooth, treework, and a new HVC system. I feel you!
It’s murder
They might as well call them “Stalags”
I am unembarrassed. I also have a sense of humor, and appreciate others who share it.
Disagree
This is directed at Trump, point-blank, by the governor of a powerful blue state. It’s not ordinary trolling or late-night humor. Trump has been a caricature since I first became aware of his existence in the 80s, but he’s never been treated this way.
Keeping them away from their families and day jobs for this ridiculous stunt is typical Trumpian cruelty — not to mention the cost!
Of course getting under his skin is an accomplishment! Narcissistic injury b puts him even more off balance than usual. The Newsom tweets hold a mirror up to Trump’s dysfunction in a way that nothing else has, and it has attracted an audience that might otherwise not pay much attention.
It sure as hell is!
Did I say I’m pro-Newsom? No. I’m very much pro what his team is doing online, though.
You used them and that’s fine — I simply made a different choice (a more sarcastic one).
It gets under his skin— and more importantly, it shows his dysfunction and madness to the public in a new way.
But Newson is getting under his skin where the other satire just bounced off. I’m willing to allow it. Is it a complete strategy? Of course not.
“Old” is not the same as “incredibly unwell.” Biden’s old — Trump is imploding.
. THIS is one of the biggest problems of our time . . . ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ .
He says that like it’s a bad thing.
Newsom isn’t creating these posts — his team is. Making fun of Trump damages him daily, and it’s worth doing. Good strategy.
Excellent point
They look like a bunch of deadbeat parents who’ve been court-ordered to pay up all the back child support.
The recent Trump tweets are not good enough for Newsom’s team to be ghostwriting for him, that’s for sure
Yes. With this President, no one expects him to acknowledge the existence of Labor Day on Labor Day weekend.
Hate is fear in disguise
I'm not interested in the question of whether we are now "officially" living in an authoritarian regime because it doesn't add any information we do not already know
Translation: “I have dementia. I have dementia. I have dementia.”
Anyone willing to work for/with/around Trump is clearly not normal
Or God made you a lesbian — infertility isn’t the only application for IVF. It’s a miraculous procedure.
Interesting to hear the ICE “agents” acknowledge that what they’re doing is indeed kidnapping
Your standards must be quite high. Newsom especially is knocking it out of the park.
I’ve heard of that — but I’m not an ENT, so my info is anecdotal only. (I’m a voice teacher.)
Spasmodic dysphonia is a serious problem, but it couldn’t happen to a more deserving villain
I think the word is fetish
#BlueCrew RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!
“🎶..Every Gerrymander Begins with “G” 🎶
Congratulations!
Pritzker is different, sure, but we need them both. Pritzker is serious, Newsom ridicules the idiot. There’s room for both, plus Walz, who is great at calling ‘em as he sees ‘em.
Supporting Newsom and appreciating his team’s understanding that making fun of bullies is vital are not the same thing.
My mother’s father was a despicable person. She referred to him as “too mean to die,” but he finally did. No one mourned him. I often remember her saying “he’s too mean to die” when I think of the current occupant of the White House.
De Santis’ pettiness knows no bounds. Doesn’t he have a state to run (badly)?
It’s not deportation
The most sinister comedy sketch I’ve ever seen. He is a ridiculous parody of himself, but evil to the core.
What an utter loser
All I think when I see these guys is “What were they like in high school?” So awful.
The world is a better place without Dobson.
8 months for a rheumatologist
I like that — a combination of racism and fascism!
GIVE US ALL THE EPSTEIN FILES This isn't hard. Unless you're in on the cover-up. actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...
Even your honest attempt to describe it softens the reality
Zelenskyy deserves the Nobel Straight-Face Prize.
How did he get elected after he make fun of the reporter with a disability? I’ll never understand it. He should have been out of the race long before the Access Hollywood tape surfaced.
A large percentage of businesses fail —I was hoping that wouldn’t happen to the US, but here we are.
“Inept”?? Do better, please.
It’s funny, period. Ridiculing something doesn’t mean you admire it or wish to emulate it. It means you find it ridiculous.
Oh please, get a sense of humor
Well of course they lied — it’s what they’re best at
He’s an orc without a moral compass. Expecting decency is our first mistake.
I blame lightweight knitted fabrics, in part. Crispness is a thing of the past.
Being more evil doesn’t make them less evil — you’d think they could understand that
Here is a letter from E.B. White to a man who wrote to him in despair over the bleakness of the human race. I've been thinking about this lately, so I thought I'd share it.
“All the twirling is for you!” Excellent!
Trump is only comfortable in a tasteless environment.
Sitcoms are a particularly nasty kind of insult theater — I wouldn’t use them to judge anything in actual relationships, since dysfunction drives the storylines
therealchazonator (IG) is serving a #CupOfJoe with a latte truth directed at MAGA America. Drink it in. Share it with others.
She was indeed amazing and beautiful! I never missed that show —- my mom was an RN and Carroll made it seem so, well, glamorous.
I despise RFKJr, but his vocal issues are due to spasmodic dysphonia, I’m almost 100% certain. Susan Collins has it too, IMO
It ain't going away, no it ain't going away....
Trump is deeply stupid. He will never be able to consider his decisions.
It’s more of a Cash Curtain — grease the President or you can’t come in
That’s me, today at least — just muddling through
How can they last another season with such bad writing? Last night: “I am like a cockroach with a thousand lives.” I laughed out loud.
I briefly worked in finance in the 80s, then got back into music education, helping to build happier, more insightful people. No regrets.
Well, Abbott would definitely know from experience about breaking the law
None of that matters to Trump or his handlers
Because that conversation takes place in a boardroom, and nobody’s leaking it?
They murdered it twice — Melania had a bad-taste attack during his first term and ruined it.
The planet will be fine; I wish I could say the same for everything living on it.
Isn’t Mar-Lago gaudy enough for one lifetime?
My mom used to describe her horrible abusive alcoholic father as “too mean to die.” He outlived my beleaguered grandmother by almost 20 years.
Their innocent children are ones being shorted here. Those kids didn’t vote for Republicans
Plus, they’ve been relentlessly schooled for decades that anyone with a D after their name is the Antichrist
That man does *not* deserve a pierogi!
Steele is a Republican — he bought the Republican lies for decades before he saw the light, or whatever. He has no credibility.
It always strikes me how much Bondi resembles Ivanka
American orc
He cheats at golf at taxpayer expense
No lies detected
I’ve always wanted to visit Scotland— such lovely and discerning people. The NYT could learn a thing or three about headline writing.
And some basic decency would be nice, too
Quelle surprise
Did Hegseth think they were real tanks?
Done!
He said the quiet part out loud. Again.
I was on a plane with HH once, many years ago. Very bad vibes came off him like a stink. I got the creeps when he stalked by me down up the aisle.
Non-marital, I think, although “non-martial” has an ominous ring to it…
This can’t possibly apply to the father — why, he’s a man! (Heavy sarcasm font)
Sycophants are just sooooo dumb.
Couldn’t happen to a more pointless guy.
Predatory, even under interrogation
Ruben, they raped children. Say it.
The “gr-ateful” was the tip-off, if everything else wasn’t
