RFKjr isn't dumb. More like tragically delusional to the point of being detached from reality. He's also lying, intentionally or not, because, ya know, he's tragically delusional to the point of being detached from reality.

All Mick wanted was a decent cuppa. But he can't get no, satisfaction.
This doesn't even look like Trump. Where's the orange bronzer?
Cindy Lauper is the best. Huge talent yet totally down-to-earth. Joni Mitchell, one of the greatest living song writers, legend. Cher, well, she's Cher, 'nuff said. SZA, I'm too old to know who she is. John Legend, big talent, and that coat is legendary.
So, to avert a robot holocaust all we need do is keep the floors well polished? Got it.
I hope Windows doesn't last anywhere near that long.
Your Honor, I should not be charged with shoplifting because when I was a Boy Scout I helped an old lady cross the street.
The only crime here is her parents naming her Sparkle. If you have a daughter, resist the urge for a cutesy name. She might grow up to be a judge, or something.
If I were a conspiracy theorist, I'd think that he actually when to a hospital or some other undisclosed location. The non-conspiracy theory would be that perhaps they have have an ICU setup for him at the Virginia gold club. The fact-based conclusion: Trump is very much not well.
Could be awkward since the guy it's named after, Cassian Andor, dies in Rogue One which takes place just hours after the end of Andor Season 2. Maybe they could make a series called Stuff That Happened After Andor Died, but it wouldn't really be Andor Season 3. And that's what the SW movies are.
They *said* Trump was leaving the White House to go to his Virginia golf club. Was he actually seen arriving there? Has he been seen out on the course? If Trump is not cheating at golf on his own course, on a long holiday weekend, something is definitely off.
He's probably undergoing some sort of mitochondrial challenge. Or maybe running low on adrenochrome. Or maybe he accidentally saw a real popularity poll. Or maybe he's been visited by Epstein's ghost. Or maybe he's hugging himself and rocking back an forth. Or maybe a major diaper blowout.
Fascinating read. Thanks.
I saw a post recently from a doctor who said to pay attention to the golf. When Trump slows down on playing golf, that will be a sign. If Trump doesn't play golf on this long Labor Day weekend, we'll know that something's up. They might even have to recall JD from his umpteenth vacation.
Welcome to the Internet. You will soon be contacted by someone with no sense of humor.
Requiring all guns to be pink. You may be on to something there. Can we start a movement that says any man who needs a gun is weak and girlie. A real man doesn’t need a lame-ass gun to be respected and admired. Yeah, I don’t think so either.
He's had plenty of vacations in those 200 days, so he should be well rested.
Stay on target. Stay on target!
What? No orcs?
So the real question, reading it 40 years later, is it good? Reading it after all those years, does it still feel like your voice? Or does it seem like a stranger wrote it? And what happened to the Faeries Gold?
Like I said, he has baggage. But he's a legit anti-Trumper and knows how the GOP machine works. Yes, Wilson came from the dark side but he's feeling better now. He knows how to hurt MAGA and will cut a bitch. We need to use the most effective weapons at hand.
Contemporaneous documentary footage:
The Democrats, despite all his baggage, should hire @therickwilson.bsky.social as strategist and messaging czar. No more playing nice, no more bipartisan compromise. Kick 'em in the nuts, call out all their crimes, file impeachment bills every day, call news conferences daily, etc. Play hardball.
I miss Ann Richards too. I lived in Texas, long ago when she was rising to national prominence. Check out these highlights from her speech at the 1988 DNC, talking about George W Bush. It's deja vu all over again.
I never looked too closely, but I know it was kinda scary. Sadly, I haven't lived in California for 15 years, and haven't had a decent burrito since then.
You should educate them about The Who so that they, uh, won't get fooled again.
Can't beat a cold Jarritos with a burrito and frijoles at a proper Mexican restaurant. The kind where there's a shrine to Santa Maria on the wall, they feature Abuela's salsa especial, and the cook has a tattoo on his neck that you don't want to look at too closely. ¡Sabor!
I’ve said that several times. But it should be called the “Noble” prize and be very, very gold. Spray painted pot metal will suffice. He won’t know the difference.
Is Trump including his personal Vietnam, where he (according to him) didn’t catch any venereal diseases?
I’m snarfing that gif.
Every accusation is a confession, as they say.
My question is why the fuck is the sitting President of the United State of America posting shit like this? Doesn't he have, like, important stuff to do?
They – those voices in his head – seem to tell him a lot of things that are not true.
If the Trump admin were smart, they'd just quietly drop this and let it fade away. But they're not smart and they will continue do the stupidest and dickish things. Literally making a federal case out of a nothing-burger – I mean a nothing-sandwich.
Don't worry, he won't nuke Europe. They love him there, they call him the President of Europe – even though he doesn't really know where it is. I'm expecting a health issue to do him in soon. But, he's like a cockroach, so ...
Press: It's September, can you tell us the cause of autism now, as you promised. RFKjr: Well, we need a little more time. Two more weeks. Press: Two weeks from now will still be September. RFKjr: Security! Press: But ... RFKjr: No more questions.
WTF does "gas cans flowing faster" mean? Why does "that annoying start/stop feature" concern a Cabinet secretary or the president? Because saving energy and reducing pollution are bad somehow? How the hell did we all end up in Bizarro World?
I don't read lips, but I guarantee that the phrase "This is bullshit, man" has been uttered many times by the guardsmen in the course of just this video alone.
Trumps ongoing thirsty delusion that he's entitled to a Nobel Peace Prize. Witkoff stroking Trumps, uh, ego here is exactly the kind of thing that would not convince the Norwegian Nobel Committee to award him the Nobel Prize. Also the fact that Trump is not a peacemaker by any stretch.
Fox News is on YouTube? Huh. I'll just have to carry on not caring at all about Fox News.
Ya got me there. Witkoff is awfully damn dumb.
I'm an American living in Europe. No one here calls Trump the President of Europe. They call him lots of things. Like moron, buffoon, embarrassment, war criminal. Stuff like that. But definitely not president.
1. He very clearly said "Noble" multiple times. A small cry for help? 2. It's clear to see how Witkoff got and keeps the job. 3. Trumps tiny balls must be chafed from all the sycophantic fondling. 4. The Norwegians must be laughing their nordic asses off right now. 5. Release the Epstein files.
I want to live in your world. Walz actually looks a lot like my Dad. But, trust me, you wouldn't want my Dad as president. Let's go with Tim.
Such beauty from pure simplicity. Sublime. Tasty too, I'm sure.
Yeah, yeah, sure Donny. With 34 felonies, you should know a lot about crime.
M'yeah, I seem to remember a kerfuffle about this, oh, 36 years ago. Ah, there it is, Supreme Court decision: Texas v Johnson, 491 U.S. 397 (1989). Flag burning constitutes symbolic speech that is protected by the First Amendment. How long until the Roberts court nullifies this precedent too?
Tim Walz is great. We need to hear more of him on the national stage. He needs to bring back the "These people are weird" thing. For example: Trump's not in the Epstein Files, but he won't release 'em to prove it. These people are weird. Or: Stephen Miller. Weird. Am I right? And creepy.
... while huddled in an attic hiding from ICE.
In Germany, scientists have made a breakthrough in treating Parkinson’s by implanting a chip in the brain that sends precise signals to restore movement. A stunning leap in neuroscience—witness the power of innovation and the beauty of science in action. Powerfull content
Would you like a potato chip, Democratic Party?
This is why I can’t quit the internet🤣🤣🤣
That's a lot of cringe right there. And yeah, I don't think any of those artists would allow Cuomo to use their song anyway. Cuomo should just shut down his campaign and go on a long vacation, to avoid being humiliated yet again.
Remember, those are imperial galleons.
When Mamdani is elected mayor of New York, it will absolutely shatter the old order. If he can stay true to himself – and stay alive 🤞 – then when the dust settles it will be a huge positive change for NYC and the country.
Now you see the ninja skill. Mamdani didn't say anything, yet now even more people know about it. Adams and Cuomo are dead men walking. Mamdani turns and walks away, slowly sheathing his sword.
Like I said, I probably saw and heard them many, many times and their music is of my generation. But if you'd asked me before today about Redbone I'd not have had a clue. Is cultural blindness a thing? I grew up in the West, but am realizing, from your JF segments, how little I know about it.
The potato chip bag, not mentioned nor referenced at all. Everyone knows what it means. That's a master ninja move right there.
I'm old enough to remember this song (one of my favorites) and I was in high school in 1974 – I may have watched this on TV at the time. Hey @juliefrancella.com and @simonmoyasmith.bsky.social, are you aware of these guys? Maybe indigenous music as a topic on @johnfugelsang.bsky.social sometime?
The Trump politburo has begun acquiring the means of production. We've always been at war with East Asia.
This dance is silly. This dance is ridiculous. But I've watched it about 10 times and I'm feeling happier now. I want to be her friend and hang out with her. I can just tell she's kinda kookie, but brilliant, and beloved by all who know her. Brava, Dancing Queen.
Is that Miss Teen South Carolina all growed up?
Cool. Now do Judge Jeanine "Box-O-Wine" Pirro.
Absolutely brilliant 👇😀😀😀
Mike Collins is indeed an idiot. And he's obsessed with shit posting to "own" the libs as soon as he hears – or mishears – something. He suffers from premature twitterjaculation. The ironic thing here is that these 55 million people with visas? They did it the "right way". Racist much Mike?
In Heaven at the Pearly Gates: Saint Peter: OK, who's next? JD: Tis I, The Reverend James Dobson. I've worked my entire life to achieve this glorious moment. Saint Peter: Damn, I hate when this happens. It seems there's been a routing error. My colleague, Lucifer, will take you downstairs...
Oh, oh, oh! Every Democrat being sworn in this like this should request Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Leticia James, Hunter Biden, Jim Comey, Stormy Daniels, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Gavin Newsom, The Sandwich Throwing Guy, etc.
I propose the Benny Hill Yakety Sax theme whenever you get the spinning buffering thing.
When Herr Miller is doing the neck twist and subtle shoulder flex while ranting, you know he's really super serious.
I have half a dozen streaming TV services and dozens of shows I want to watch. But I’m *this* close to bingeing all three seasons of Ted Lasso again, for the fifth time.
I'll take Things That Don't Happen for $200, Alex.
Can someone please give Grampa McFuddlepants his medication and lead him back to the memory care unit. This is embarrassing.
Donald Trump cured my psoriasis, just by being so awesome.
I don't know much about this denim throwdown situation or the jean/gene brouhaha or the celebrity personalities or whatever. But that's some really impressive choreography.
And ironically, most younger AI fans probably have no idea what grep is.
Absolutely. AI is currently a gigantic hype bubble and when it pops, there will be a lot of rubble to sort through to separate truth from fantasy. So-called AI is a big step forward in many ways, but anthropomorphizing it is a big mistake. AI is basically grep to the n'th power.
Shhh, don't tell Donny McStablegenius about what happens at night, when the sun goes to bed and things cool off and it gets much harder to see someone climbing a black wall in the dark. Don't tell him that, we're running low on ketchup.
No Dana, you didn't get the joke. That's why you're there retcon'ing that you get the joke after being savagely mocked for not getting the joke. Face it DP, conservatives can't do nor understand humor. Cruelty is not funny, even though you laugh at it. Exhibit A: Greg Gutfeld.
The purpose of government, among many other things, is to protect the public FROM business. It should be the check on runaway capitalism. If big-money interests can influence government policy and/or enforcement, then government is not working as intended.
An utter lack of human compassion or empathy. Kidnapped children? Whatever. I want credit for a trade deal. Next.
Poor baby. Always the victim. If she wants to be super secure, I'm sure they could prepare a suite for her at CECOT.
No, I didn't. That's terrible.
What are the odds that Putin showed photos or played a video of Trump raping an underage girl in the meeting? Or worse.
I would like to see this event in the Olympics, lease.
Fair point.
Yeah. I mean c'mon, the dairy should have done something to kill the harmful bacteria in the milk, instead of doing nothing and charging more for it as they do. You know, maybe something like the process that French dude, Luis Pasteur invented back in the 1860s. Just a thought.
Could also explain the "ashen" expressions of the US delegation coming out of the meeting, as described by the media. The mind boggles at want Trump could have said or done.
Well ... alrighty then.
You sound like a military brat. I spent two years in Germany in the Air Force, long ago. I'm really glad I moved my daughters out of the US when they were young. I think they have a much healthier perspective. I looked at your bio. My youngest is on track to do a PhD in Neuroscience.
Da nada, as they say here in Spain.
Well, Hbwhjvsdh bot with zero followers, it really is that simple. Russia invaded Ukraine illegally and unprovoked. If they GTFO of Ukraine the war is over. Simple.
Russia needs to "get something"? How about they get the fuck out of Ukraine?
I moved the family (two kids, 6 & 7) to UK for work in 2010. We lived there for 12.5 years, everyone thrived. When both kids were off to university in London, we retired to Spain. Much safer over here. NHS is free. Fewer lunatics running around. Recommended, but check visa requirements.
Yeah, it's gratifying to see professionals doing what they care about and do well. A refreshing change from the baboons and howler monkeys we mostly see in the public sphere now. Apparently, The Pitt received high praise from real ER docs for realism, accuracy and capturing the vibe.
I'm an American who's lived in Europe for the last 15 years. I recently discovered Madam Secretary on a streaming platform. I binged every single show over a couple of weeks. So good. Yeah, Tea Leoni is hot, but it was the competence, teamwork and compassion that hooked me. See also: The Pitt
That's the posture a beta cuck wannabe adopts when in the presence of the alpha dictator.
And just like that, an entire new genre of satire is born.
