Say the words out loud: RFK Jr. has no idea what he’s doing. None. If I put a chimpanzee in a suit, it would write better policy. The chimpanzee would also be more articulate and easier to understand.

The word you’re searching for is fumes, as in “the middle class economy is running on fumes.” Even when the crash comes, the Trump administration will remain absolutely out of touch with how normal people live. It’ll be surprised faces and the stupidest Fox News talking points you’ve ever heard.
If you guzzled a gallon of ipecac, I doubt you could throw up more than watching slithering invertebrate Republicans grovel and debase themselves before Trump. As verifiably insane as Trump is, lots of these sniveling cowards know better. To them is the greater damnation.
I was all there. Just open your eyes.
Has the Trump administration ever complied with any ruling against them? Aren’t we in the middle of the biggest game of judicial “Pretendies” ever? The Supreme Court rubber stamps certainly have proved useless figureheads prior to this. What will they do now?
Huge mistake. Expediency and lack of vision is the path to darkness.
I created a problem that didn’t exist and have now solved it. You’re welcome.
Can there be anything the Trump administration hates more than a union? Didn’t some of you actually vote for this? What could you possibly have been thinking?
Perhaps they can burn the crops in the same heap of undistributed USAID food. The best way to do this would probably be to pile the undistributed condoms and birth control devices on top, so that you get an even burn. Efficiency.
They would have continued to be cared for by all the people SS Reichsfuhrer Tom Homan just deported. Now they’ll just die alone and we’ll find their bodies later. Consuela won’t be there to give them their medication or feed them. This is the future for the elderly in Trump’s American nightmare.

We have an administration so absolutely vile that they can actually look into a camera and smugly excuse all this away with cheesy Fox News talking points. Trump and the MAGA’s are the result of decades of willful dehumanization of nonwhite Americans. Now they’re fully Nazis.
Labor Day. What a hoot. I’ve worked every Labor Day for the last 10 years. Just like today. Here’s what Trump and the oligarchs really want: You need to be a better slave and work for free with no benefits. Also, end all taxation of them, protect them from personal responsibility and buy more.
Just when Ron was about to install the ovens and the showers. What a disappointment.

Here’s a fun question: Do you think increasing black unemployment is the clear intent of the Trump administration? After you sputter out your incredulity, here’s the follow-up question: Do you think Trump dreams about deporting American blacks to Africa?
The 2nd Amendment sure likes to bury children, doesn’t it?
Views and engagement are the coins of the Internet realm. Not ideas. We’re at the very shameful point now where content is built not to edify the reader, but to irritate or frighten us into continuing to engage. Our national dialogue is just as vacuous as the miserable clickbait nation we’ve become
Angry and disappointed? Really? How about surprised? Are you surprised the world doesn’t want to visit what is rapidly becoming “Naziland?” Trump, the MAGA’s and Fox News love to make fun of people’s feelings, like it’s a weakness. Nobody feels welcome here. Trump made America too mean to visit.
It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
Trump eventually turns on every single person around him. The historical record of the serial betrayals of anyone who ever trusted him is there for all to see. This begs the question: How dumb do you have to be to go to work for this man? Very. This is why his cabinet is made up of credulous rubes.
There will be a new sign, very much like Disneyland, which will read: “Must Be This White To Vote.”
The Trump administration is doing that thing your toddler did when he was in trouble. In silencing NOAA, what they’re really doing is clapping their hands over their eyes and saying “Can’t see me!” Like infectious diseases, they believe that if you don’t predict the tornado, it never comes. Right?
If I had told you 20 years ago that under the watch of RFK Jr measles would return, wouldn’t you have laughed me to scorn? Now here we are, aren’t we? As we dog paddle in a sea of willful ignorance, is it a stretch to imagine polio coming back? No.
This is absolutely traceable to our bloody cell phone usage, isn’t it? We expect to be perpetually entertained and will not permit ourselves to be bored for a moment. Worse still, we’re constantly texting when we should be speaking face to face, looking into each other’s eyes. Love is there.

In light of recent events, a new and stylish line of Trump bulletproof vests will now be available for purchase by all CDC staff. Colorfully emblazoned with the MAGA motto and a stunning picture of the President, you’ll be the envy of every other potential victim. Call now. Operators are standing by
The Disneyland of the 60’s feels like a scene from a movie and not a memory. Flash forward to the 90’s with your own kids and it’s PTSD baby. Your wallet will cry piteously. I can’t go back. Don’t make me. Please.
Ah. This is like LA in the old days with Clippers tickets. “Excuse me. If I gave you this $20, would you take these Clippers tickets?”
Tidal waves begin beneath the sea and are not immediately visible to the naked eye, until suddenly they are.
A mating economy. The archetype for this aspiration would have to be Melania Trump. If ever there was a purely transactional relationship, it surely is that one. Certainly a quid pro quo worthy of the oldest profession. I always say “She made the deal.” You’re the girl in the Eagles “Lyin’ Eyes.”
And Yahtzee. If I was a chimeric virus of death, wouldn’t Murphy’s Law dictate that I mutate now? We are living to see apex stupidly, for maybe not much longer.
Trump is the living embodiment of the old saying that any jackass can kick down a barn. These people are walking around congratulating themselves and counting their money. They will be nowhere to be found when it’s time to count the bodies.
Will anyone other than a MAGA cult member ever set foot in a Cracker Barrel again? I won’t.
This is just like when Ron DeSantis fired his COVID-19 demographer because she was actually counting the dead bodies. These tornadoes and hurricanes are still coming, probably without FEMA help. Perhaps these folks can save some lives.
What was that, Whitehouse? Thoughts and prayers, right? Be sure to cower under your stinking desks and count your NRA and gun lobby money. You are drenched in the blood of the innocent, but don’t worry. Only God can see your stained hands. We just see your cruelty.
Ha ha! Yes. As you may have by now surmised, I like to illustrate the absurdity of where we are by saying the opposite of what everyone can see with their own eyes. Trump would say something that crazy because his grasp upon reality is rather tenuous. I am a Dane in California.
The way this shows up, I have no idea which thing you were replying to. I think it was the CDC nightmare, right? Also, are you a Dane?
$218 million is nothing to Florida. The real estate condo market is flush with buyers, the citrus industry has never been healthier and they’re overrun with Canadian tourists. It’s the Golden Age of the Trump economy in Florida.
Delay, deny, death. This is what the Trump administration wants for you and your family. This is what all those lavish donations to MAGA GOP reps went to pay for. You will die so that managed care companies can trumpet their shareholder value. Your Mom died of cancer to fund CEO bonuses.
Get vaccinated now, while you can. Trump and RFK Jr are determined to kill every last one of us with their poisonous ignorance. There will be a body count directly tied to all these decisions. There is no “Deep State,” just the mass grave the Trump administration digs for us.

We’re numb to this now. Will it be thoughts and prayers from soulless NRA and gun lobby members again? Will the same cheesy Fox News talking points be trotted out as if they matter? Spare us your faux indignation. Your judgement is laid up for you before God.
Trump brings back the caricature of the rich, greedy, hook nosed Jew influencing American politics precisely because he is following the Nazi playbook. It’s 1935 all over again. Same kind of people. Just different names. Tom Homan is our Heinrich Himmler Reichfuhrer of the ICE SS. It’s all the same
If you’re shocked to believe that the Trump administration could be this evil and duplicitous, don’t be. This is exactly who they are. Assume the worst. Presume that they will cheat. Know they are lying when their lips are moving.
Just when you thought the cold black empty void where Trump administration souls used to be could not get any worse. There is no bottom. They feel nothing for the suffering they create because they are all dead inside. Trump followers are whitewashed sepulchers filled with dead men’s bones.
Your AI job will have just about the lifespan of a Mayfly. All you are doing is training your replacement. Think about how despicably slimy the tech bros are to hire our children and then steal their futures. That’s who these pigs are and we need to boycott all of their businesses into bankruptcy.
I am ALWAYS facetious, sardonic and grimly absurd. It’s a coping mechanism.
Let me help you with this title: “Trump’s Firing Of Fed’s Governor Lisa Cook Tests Limits Of Supreme Court Rubber Stamp.” There. I fixed it.
Hello ladies. Remember reading about the Women’s Suffrage Movement 112 years ago that gave you the right to vote? That was impudent of you, so that’s over. So is “My Body, My Choice.” It’s not your body. You are chattel. You are furniture.
That gelatinous lump of malformed fecal matter between his ears is the real problem.
The bloody Cracker Barrel is apparently the new green M&M or Bud Light to these conspiracy theorist fruitcakes. You get the impression Trump would be pleased if the logo had a black man being whipped leaning over the cracker barrel. Wholesome family dining.
Can we have humanity in the world if there is no Humanities Department? Trump has been in office mere days and he has already desecrated the Kennedy Center and is rewriting history for the Smithsonian. Poetry and music are lost upon the blackened hearts and empty souls of the Trump administration.
This is a naughty indulgence on my part, as it contains a reference to a Kurt Vonnegut short story I read when I went to high school in another dimension.
The Florida panther, whooping crane and manatee shouldn’t be mourned. Like the bald eagle, they’re not great survivors. I’m told there are giant lampreys in Lake Superior the size rail cars. They’re even carnivorous. Here is the new icon of America’s greatness. The lamprey. Long may it suck.
When whiny, entitled Southern MAGA’s see what the new fresh fruit and vegetable prices are in their stores, who will they cry to? Gruppenfuhrer Stephen Miller? SS Reichsfuhrer Tom Homan? Trump? Good luck with that. You voted for this. Now pay for it.
When he does it, he will not understand what he did or the ramifications of it. Neither will Trump.
Trump ICE recruits will have spent a lot of time previously wearing Ku Klux Klan hoods, so knowing where to put the eyeholes in their new masks will come easily. Hiring paperwork will take hours, with HR probably being forced to fill things out for them, so they can just sign with an “X.”
Performing your fiduciary responsibility to the American people while black is a serious offense, clearly punishable by termination. She’ll be replaced by a white man with half her education and no experience.

By cancelling funding for HIV treatments, Trump and the MAGA’s are going to try for the mass death record previously held by the Nazis. Just the cancelled USAID food will potentially get them to 14 million dead black and brown people, which is kind of the idea, isn’t it?
If you want to truly understand how little the Trump administration cares about parents and children, take a look at the funding they cut. Don’t listen to what they say. Look at what they do. What Trump and the rest of the pig oligarchs want is for you to work harder, for less pay and NO support.
I can hear the cuckoo singing in the cuckooberry tree. If Laura Loomer says it’s real then I’d suggest that you agree.
No, there can only be one Gruppenfuhrer Steven Miller. Let’s dash that mold to pieces.
COVID-19 possesses the amazing quality of sudden and rapid clarification of its capabilities. You’ll be dead and that will lay both you and your revisionism to rest.
I have a brand new Grandchild. I’m about to find out what a Trump tariffed bale of diapers would cost my children. Self destructive and counterproductive are words that only begin to describe the irony of GOP MAGA Congressional dimwits calling for more children.
Judge a tree by its fruit. Was love the foundation, or was he just another tinkling cymbal? How big was his church and how bad was the suffering of the poor in that neighborhood? Did he ever lift a finger? How big was his bank account when he died? These are the questions you ask.
Um, they have an infrastructure, an operating health care system and societal norms of decency and respect. Yeah, real estate is going to be more expensive for a quality location. The really cheap stuff will be in Florida and Texas, but then you have to live there.
So, they’ve lulled you into a false sense of security? Good.
And now, at last, I will pull the trigger and sign up for the Onion in print. Being a turd in the Trump administration punch bowl is an honor worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize, if currently accepted standards are any guide. South Park remains the even money favorite.
Someone I care about just had a colonoscopy. There were polyps. Let’s see. Nasty: check. Filled with a vile substance: check. I think you’ve got something here.
Gruppenfuhrer Stephen Miller today assured all patriotic citizens of the Reich that the undesirables had been rounded up and order restored. Fresh from his “Joseph Goebbels Look Alike Contest” victory, he flashed a wry smile for our cameras.
This is Rupert Murdoch’s legacy. I’ve heard numbers thrown around regarding the potential worldwide death toll as a result of the closure of USAID placed at 14 million. Murdoch put Trump there to do this. 6 million Jews died in the holocaust. The GOP shows how to get it done.
I’m stunned. After the public relations triumph of removing DEI policies engendered such an outpouring of support from shoppers, I should have thought it was calm seas ahead. Certainly tariffs will have no impact on sales with Trump’s steady hand upon the tiller.
The Trump administration is issuing transgender hunting licenses to Texas legislators as a thank you for changing the voting districts. How will they ever open the preserve if they don’t know where the game is?
The Smithsonian will have a giant golden statue of Trump, which Russell Vought, Mike Johnson and Kristi Noem will fervently pray before. Kind of like the abomination of desolation. There will also be a McDonald’s inside with really big bathrooms.
Say goodbye to Florida orange juice. Tree illnesses are shutting down vast amounts of acreage already, but Donald Trump’s ignorance is deadlier than any plant disease. Couple this with climate change and we can put a toe tag on Florida’s agricultural economy.
We know who the credulous rubes were who voted Donald Trump into office. Try to imagine the moral and spiritual depth of people who could sign on with Elon Musk’s “Ketamine America Party.” Wow. Don’t get out much, do ya?
Preventing the deaths of your children was too expensive for Texas.
Each and every one of them will be engineering their own future firing. AI is the miserable wet dream of the greediest pigs on the planet. Let’s abandon them to their fates and utterly ignore their businesses.
There’s a gene pool we should all stay away from. It’s kind of shallow anyway, like a puddle on a sidewalk after a light rain.
Clearly Lisa has a level of honesty and personal integrity that cannot be permitted in the Trump administration.
Remember the name of every Texas legislator who votes for this. Remember the name of every business they are associated with. Remember the names of their donors. Boycott and shun every single one of them into non existence.
Yes, the process of turning America into a dystopian hellscape of serfdom has been severely damaged.

And suddenly shrimp is off the menu.
Use the South Park cartoon version. Even coyotes won’t come near the wall.
They implored him. RFK Jr was implored to stop doing something. Donald Trump has been implored to stop doing lots of ignorant and unspeakably cruel things. When you implore people, you are presuming they have a morality to be appealed to. There is no morality here or a soul to be reached. Nothing.
Plans have been changed to instead paint Kristi Noem’s terrifying face on the border wall as a deterrent. That should work.
Despots like Trump hate comedians. They are the pins that let all the hot air out of their ridiculously overinflated egos.
Every single time I read about AI I’m more convinced than ever that I never want to touch it. I’m getting very bad “Lawnmower Man” feelings about this. This is a really bad time to be a Science Fiction fan. All of the predictably awful things we warned you about are coming true.
He must be possessed of a large amount of honesty and personal integrity to be pushed out so quickly. There’s no room for that in the Trump administration.
This has to be fake news, because we were all very carefully instructed that other countries would pay the tariffs, not us.
Despots like to rewrite history to flatter themselves. I’m old enough to remember the “whitewashing” of some pretty despicable parts of American history. The Vietnam war was a catalyzing moment for all of us. See the lies for what they are: Self-delusion.
The Trump administration in general and Fox News in particular are in a pickle now that I have been waiting years to see: The collision of MAGA delusions with reality. All this performative destruction of the mythical “Deep State” is now impossible to see as sane. The truth always prevails.
Gentle readers, know that I do not call for boycotts lightly, nor do I imagine that every single person in Texas is a deranged MAGA cult member. I don’t. We are at a crossroads, where the devil will very famously meet you. Choose your path this day. Choose love for the poor and the stranger.
