What a physically appalling human being. Just seeing a photo of him always makes me cringe.

Oh, you know kids these days: always reading Ezra Klein, the latest Twain bio, and SGJ. Oughtta make for fun fireside chats at the ex-presidential summer camp.
I agree, in general. But I'd cross out "evil," and replace it with "stupidity." Trump's never been smart enough to concoct all this, and now he's senile, to boot. He's just devoid of morality and easily purchased. Which makes him a perfect tool for billionaires openly seeking a new Gilded Age.
"Their own problem," much like America's, is that at some point, they saw fit to put a dictatorial psychopath in command of the whole nation. Literally everything that follows is the fault and the responsibility of the people.
"More?" Walking an entire block for him would be like consecutive ultramarathons for the rest of us.
Most dangerous? No. Not when we have this whopper: "I, Donald John Trump, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. So help me, God."
Oh, no! How ever will the resistance prevail if we’ve lost even Aryan Princess?! I guess we fight on, even if it must be from a sub-master POV.
Did Patrick's "own independent research" show him that DC residents were afraid to leave their homes? Because mine didn't. Sadly, Patrick's also didn't show him how to punctuate or capitalize properly, which would have been nice in a post criticizing someone else's writing.
For those interested in things like the constitution and resistance against a fascist takeover: it does no good, and also, is absolutely incorrect, to call ICE cosplaying Proud Boys and Three Percenters "law enforcement." They are not law enforcement. Quite the opposite.
Reviews I've heard from those stuck spending time in the same room as him cast doubt on this.
It would be at least a small win for the public if he took this opportunity to come out against Liechtenstein. Whether he did it in print, or spoken, either way would be a spectacle worth at least a shot and a beer.
To be honest, I'm not normally a fan of this KIND of thing, but this one hits so true, and so perfectly emasculates the Pretender in Chief, that I'm all in. Also, word balloon notwithstanding, that's a really fun caricature by the cartoonist. Doesn't exactly fortify his masculinity, either.
There’s nothing “conservatives,” have been warning us about. Conservativism was dying after Nixon, and was completely dead and buried under Reagan. Replaced by mega church pseudo-Christianity, economic corruption as policy, destruction of the educational system, and Limbaugh-style propaganda.
Can we stop acting shocked when he does something that would seem insane under normal conditions? While the Nobel is a ludicrous dream, he's more qualified for that than he is for the presidency, and he's received that twice. Asking for and expecting the absurd is just a day ending in Y for Trump.
I guess I’m in the other 28%. Not that he shouldn’t be removed. But I can’t go to all the trouble of taking an actual life-sustaining breath, only to waste it uttering the word “Trump.”
Anyone who says something is embarrassing, even for Ted, can’t possibly have ever seen or heard one of Ted’s infinite public appearances. Clearly, the man must be immune to embarrassment.
As soon as someone tells me I need some knowledge and understanding of Blake and Machiavelli to hold a serious conversation, I know that I’m dealing with a sophomoric alpha-male wannabe, and that we have very different interpretations of seriousness. Then I wait for the inevitable Ayn Rand quotes.
Use it to convert the unsalvageable remains of what used to be the White House into a proper DC homeless shelter, and build a new eco-friendly one for the next prez. Or, in a pinch, see if Qatar will gift him or her one.
I never coulda come up with Corey Hart as the artist who performed this. I’d have bet anything his career was Sunglasses, followed by a quarter century of open mic nights. Of course, I say this as a man whose greatest artistic achievement in life is occasional matching socks.
On the one hand, accusing Trump of puerility in his criticism is quite accurate. On the other, accusing him of being puerile has as much chance of a meaningful result as criticizing my terrier for struggling with partial differential equations.
Ever since I adopted CrossFit as a guiding life principle, I’m really into high intensity interval relaxation.
Passive but genuine concern.
Calling out the GOP for projection at this point isn’t exactly gonna send the psych community scrabbling for their notebooks. But it’s a keen observation all the same!
“Relinquished” morally and ethically, sure. But practically speaking, a cult devoted to him, his crimes of hatred and abuse, and the billionaires footing the bill, control all three branches of government, and any power with which he could be forced to relinquish anything but his zeal for terror.
"How come he ends up looking like a 4 year old?" Going out on a limb, but could be the hunched posture, the inability to maintain eye contact, the incoherent speech patterns, or the unwelcome but overpowering aroma. Somebody needs cleany-ups!
Finally, someone willing to stand up for We the Cornstalks.
"MAGA -- am I doing this right?" Dear liberal communist socialist Marxist fake news lunatic: no. That hardly looks like Trump at all. Go back to art school.
"It's like calling Hitler a peacemaker." Or Trump a very stable genius.
Yet another reason I'm delighted, on a daily basis, that I moved out of DC during the W. years. My reasons for feeling good make sense to me every day, but rarely are they so compelling as tanks in the driveway.
I'd say it's more like the millionth piece of evidence that it's already occurred, and Americans are simply so oblivious to reality that great herds of them continue to meander, oblivious.
I find that no matter how fancy and overpriced a coffee shop gets, nor how pseudo-chic they insist on pretending to be, I can still pass through pretty efficiently as long as I remember the two words that have stood me so well for all these years: coffee, black. That doesn't help my pup, though.
They would wonder why their children were on Fox News, and how Fox knew what they did with their sapiens. Whatever those are. Probably some inner city woke thing, like covid was.
Because it’s unclear and unconfirmed.
Sorry, Jen and Jason, but I didn’t quite read your ENTIRE tweet. I saw you plan “what republicans do best” for November, and rather than finish reading the entire tweet, I got to work hiding my children. But thanks for the heads up!
I like the Canada surrounding those Chipotle spoons. That’s not on the menu where I live.
Someone's missing the point that the "bread and circuses" eternal meme is about simple appeasement of the potential revolutionaries, whereas this particular circus is custom designed to anger those carrying torches and pitchforks.
This story isn't pushing me that far, but as a legit fan of both football and progressivism, I applaud the decision. If you have any non-political reasons to support the Panthers as well, then so much the better.
"This won't be a negotiation. It'll be a spanking. " Perhaps literally.
I don't know where 3-7 is coming from, other than Trumpian Fantasyland, but he has as much chance of being alive in 8 years as I do of being alive in the year 3000.
Schumer will write someone a “strongly worded letter,” Jeffries will sit on his hands, complaining, “We don’t have the power,” Bernie will hold a well-intentioned but ultimately meaningless rally against oligarchs somewhere reasonably purple, and Raskin will drop a few soundbites on social media.
Go mouse...it's your birff-day...
"But Gavin...this is...uh...what tipping the scales at a ripped 225 looks like!" Bruh. Maybe you inched over six-foot-even in the days before age started to curve you into a fascist candy cane. But six-foot-something and 225 never needs a C-cup.
I see the user in question is Donald J. Trump, the platform is Truth Social, the subject is "fake news," and the date is 8/13/2025. The question is, "Dementia?" Given all of the above, that ship sailed years ago.
For-profit detention centers.
The goal isn't to fix things, so economic comparisons become irrelevant. The goal is to get their grins by causing fear, pain, and suffering for as many as possible.
And "poor" doesn't mean incapable of making ends meet. It means "everybody else."
Yeah, it's all sick and sad, but having actually seen Trump, and having listened to him as he demonstrates the condition of his mind, he has as much chance of making it to 83 as I do of making it to 250. Whatever comes next will offer plenty to worry about. But Trump isn't worthy of that concern.
When justice comes for these treasonous cretins — and I choose to believe it will — I hope it comes swiftly, and in a way that is truly PPV-worthy.
Yeah, Abbott just isn’t the strong, independent, ethical, patriotic thinker he was back in those carefree human trafficking days.
Makes me wonder the same way water flowing downhill does. In a way where the mystery was gone once I had enough wisdom in the tank to remember to look before crossing the street.
There’s not a more physically or mentally dilapidated human being on the planet. He’s as likely to muster another presidential campaign as he approaches 90 as I am to orbit Jupiter. Of all the Drumpf shit that is genuinely worth being concerned about, this is REAL low on my personal list.
I don’t usually eat at these political restaurants, so I’m not that familiar with the options. But if that’s all that’s on the menu, I think I’ll try the socialism.
I didn’t click the link, or read a word of the story beyond the headline, which suggests some “clear-cut violation of federal law. Already, I could not possibly be less surprised.
They should look into demolishing a parking lot at the White House and seeing if they can find a place to sneak one in.
Here, Christian Nationalism teaches us that there is no difference -- in God's eyes -- when first, a hostile enemy nation uses armed forces to fly planes into our country and kill us, and when second, a middle-aged female Tamale vendor crosses the border to sell snacks and seek opportunity. EVIL!!!
When she talks, she doesn't come across as stupid. So I must conclude that she has carefully and intentionally CHOSEN: "I want to live a life where I promote and commit crimes against humanity, willingly and knowingly, for political power and profit." Send her a link to the Geneva Convention.
I am utterly envious of this dog and his ability to find the willingness in his heart and soul to hang out and let loose with such hope, joy, and feeling. More of us should try to be such good dogs.
The voters who chose him didn't want leadership or sanity. They wanted terror toward people they hate. They messed things up for the rest of us, sure, but Cletus and Jolene got exactly what they wanted.
Easily the MOST CONVINCING counter-protest signage of all time. This one time only, you've earned the right to click a link and donate to Trump because you're such a MAGA one-percenter.
Plus, they've removed that unsightly fire escape! What could go wrong?
There are people who believe both of these things: 1) Playing a little squash so wore out and dilapidated his feet and ankles that years later, he was unable to suit up and serve in the armed forces. 2) After being hit by a weapon designed to shred body armor, his ear grew back in half an hour.
I’m willing to listen to an argument that she didn’t intentionally tell falsehoods under oath, but rather, might deserve some measure of leniency because she’s just too stupid to understand the difference between honesty and terror-inspired make believe.
Take back the Oval Office, immediately declare a national emergency to say the president must lead the way in sustainability, if we’re to survive the climate crisis, and build a new, super-energy-efficient White House (Green House?), and have this one demolished or turned into a homeless shelter.
Yeah, but that’s taking a little while. This is the Thursday PM Early Edition news, which is merely that he’s destroying the economy first.
I trust you're writing from a palace, on your private Caribbean island. I assume this because the government doesn't provide those things, so what an opportunity it's been for you to take over that role and get your own! Unless limited resources were a factor. Are all states infinitely wealthy?
Sending you love, good little boy.
Good dog.
The hurdle you'd have to clear to get all the way to "concerning" around the likes of this woman would rival the Arc de Triomphe in scale.
Give the whole damn state to Mexico.
Affordable life for working families: UTTERLY IMPOSSIBLE. $10m/day to Elon Musk, so he can continue to manufacture exploding land and space transportation? No problemo.
What dog?
The Texas Dems should have called his office and told him they were immigrants. History says he'd have put them on a plane himself, and sent them to Martha's Vineyard on someone else's dime. Why settle for political crime when you can commit a crime against humanity? (Again.)
He probably will right after he paves over that lawn, too. The White House should seriously be decommissioned and thrown on history's scrap heap after this. Get the next president who isn't a terrorist a fresh, new pad, and rid America of this tainted slumlord chateau.
I assume he's in the cabinet, somewhere. Because welcome to Trumpistan.
Doing it over the course of a game is challenging that old. Repeated leg drive needs youthful energy and endurance. But seeing it once isn't a surprise. Velocity on that kind of overarm motion, like with a tennis serve, isn't primarily due to muscular power. It's mechanics. And his are refined.
Everything happening in that image OUGHT to be obvious, but Jessica understands images from remedial PoliSci 101 about as well as she understands astrophysics. Thanks, Reagan, for destroying public education forever. Middle school lessons on TV are too hard for us, and we voted in Trump. Twice.
Tell us you failed 5th grade math without telling us you failed 5th grade math. And from your public record, I’m guessing English and history didn’t go too well either.
It'll take a lot more than a single sane, coherent thought for me to start thinking we wouldn't be instantly better off if she fell off a balcony and into a live volcano. Sure, terrible place for a balcony, but take it up with the architect.
One of the 20th century's greatest philosophers.
Hard to believe a man with such high levels of OBVIOUS strength, dexterity, coordination, and athleticism would need to cheat, and stick to playing tournaments at clubs he owns in order to predetermine his final scores. Why, if that were true, I'd worry I should have trouble trusting him AT ALL!!!
It should be impeachable simply that he insists on continuing to say, to the American people, that money keeps, “pouring in from tariffs.” Dear MAGA base: money doesn’t pour IN from tariffs. It pours UP. China was never the mark in this scam. YOU were. And the con man nailed his mark.
Seems inhumane, but the reality is worse. You may not be sent immediately home, but rather to a for-profit concentration camp that literally has marketing saying, "Only the dead can leave."
Lookin' forward to it. And hoping I can get back to where I can start public statements with, "I love America," instead of just finding it humiliating and shameful. More and louder voices for the voiceless! Hope the launch goes well. I guarantee you've got at least one sale locked up.
He's produced all kinds of stuff! None of it good, but he HAS been productive. We've got tariffs up the wazoo, new social, political, and economic adversaries across the globe, a couple billion dollars worth of new ball rooms and presidential aircraft, and a lot less future to worry about having.
Goes hand in hand with the kind of mind that would publicly commit you to fraudulent spirituality, just because you think it'll win votes, and will justify your favorite flavors of terrorism.
I'm a little amused by the fact that Charlie's handlers keep setting him up to be socially and intellectually humiliated in conversations with school kids. You'd think they'd have learned by now that he can't keep up with anyone who possesses an education -- even one in progress.
Qualification for the job isn't to learn labor statistics, it's to be willing to lie to the public in a way that makes Trump happy. You're the guy on the other side of Trump's economics-themed glory hole.
Whatever else I may or may not like about Stephen King, I have to say, man has a keen eye for horror.
Jesse Watters knows about as much about being a real man as I know about being a Portuguese man o' war. Although, I have floated in the Pacific once or twice, so maybe Jess has some catching up to do.
Embrace the modern talking bro push for sovereignty. Make every voter in California his own, separate voting district. And when looming MAGA votes come through the house, give them pause as they realize they're outvoted about 10 million to 219.
But here's the good news, JD. If things don't turn out the way you like, you can just have another fictional autobiography ghost-written for you, and pretend that's your real life as you bumble into old age.
This is your plan for the last full year Trump is in office? I like the zeal, but the optimism strikes me as a little far-flung.
He's right by suggesting that I don't want to be poor. But I absolutely want HIM to be poor. Not just have his ability to legally game the system taken away. EVERYTHING he's ever stolen from the system he pretended to serve so he could commit illegal acts should be seized, and given to the poor.
I sincerely hope the horse’s name was Justin.
I'd love for this to be a story that shocks me, but that's no longer the nation we live in, or the population we live among.
A story like this ought to be a real, "Wow...REALLY!???" moment. Instead I'm like, "Oh, does today end in a Y?"
Hard to pick a true champion. You both get so many viewers and listeners, you both have so much REALLY IMPORTANT info to share, and you've both got such heaping mountains of steroid-tweaked pseudo-alpha cred. I'm with the Mighty, but if necessary, you two can sort it out in the octagon.
It's not just normal, at that point. It's intentional.
Seems reasonable. And you don't have to ban me, because I don't want to play, anyway. Plus, I'm terrible.
It will never work out for Bug. He just looks too fierce and dangerous.
