As always you are spot on and sarcastically humorous. I love it!

Take your pick. Rapacious, never-enough empty excuses for humans, pathological

liars, nihilistic strategists, men shamelessly role modeling toxic masculinity,

racists and haters of everyone who isn't white and obscenely wealthy, child

molesters, wife beaters and rapists of women - many masquerading as Christians -

bumbling and completely unqualified and incompetent destroyers of jobs,

expertise and whole agencies and departments. All of this delivered to us

either through hurled insults or smarmy arrogance. This, fellow Americans, is

what we never must stop resisting. As Thoreau once famously said, "It is

not just our right to criticize our government. It is our responsibility." And

before I finish this rant, genocide is genocide. Period. And we were meant to

be stewards of this precious planet. Not craven destroyers.

"He aces the test every single day." We can thank an MD for this pearl of wisdom or whatever it is. Just how does Mr. Trump have time to take the cognitive test every single day? After all, we suspect his "president time" is consumed with ballroom meetings or holding up posters that assure us that our reflecting pool, parallel to the earth, is longer than the height of vertical edifices. How can he fit this daily test into promenade planning and colossal arch support? He has admitted that peace negotiations and nuclear talking with Iran now bore him so that can't be taking up much of his time so maybe this does leave a few minutes for the daily cognitive exam. We need a joke here so here it is.

What do they call the person who finished last in his or her medical school class?

As usual, spot-on reporting. Every day the war in Iran proves how stupid Dozing Diaper Donald and his "loyalty over experience" cabinet can be. Over the last six months, he's shown his true colors, that he only cares about projects that interest HIM. That includes his wasteful vanity projects. He doesn't care about people in our country that are struggling. I have to believe that included in the people struggling are MAGAs who voted for him.

Unfortunately, many of them are, including the farmers who supported Trump and now have to pay for fertilizer which comes through the strait of Hormuz, and many ordinary people who are paying more for gas, groceries, rent and other essentials.

Mary, I don’t know whether you are familiar with the substack “I fucking love Australia” but it is funnier than hell and merciless about Donald. Take a look: https://substack.com/home/post/p-200849328

And let us not forget: the snake-oil-salesman-in-chief, Dr, Oz, had to settle to the tune of $5.2 million for selling snake oil.

And these assholes expect us to believe them because they think we are dumber-with-a-silent-b than they are.

Yes, about those scans - an informed writer (a paramedic) suspects that they are monitoring an AAA (abdominal aortic aneurysm), which may be compounding his possible CHF. None of this is visible in his annual report by his compromised doctor. But we have to remember that Don is an ethical black hole that strips the integrity off any person who comes within his gravitational field.

My go to on Substack for Olympian level mockery is Jeff Tiedrich. The Trump era has earned every bit of the mockery that can be flooded down upon it. Tiedrich has been relentless for nearly 4 years.

Please keep trolling. I had a "wellness" visit to the doctor two days ago. I am of an age with the short-fingered vulgarian. I was not asked to repeat a cognitive test.

After spending years as a volunteer in facilities for the aged, and having a beloved father who was stricken with dementia in his last years, I'm sometimes tempted toward pity for this man, who is obviously suffering from some kind of dementia, in addition to whatever else is wrong with him (not only are we the same age - we have matching ankles), but then I look back over the past 46 years I've been watching him, and the impulse goes away. I don't think that's a good thing - it's just further evidence of the damage he (with the 2025 Gang pulling his strings) have done to our country and We The People.

They really are out of touch with reality. If they weren't so far gone, they would see the parallels between now and 100 years ago when the Republicans and the rich ran America into the ground and took the rest of the world with it.

It is all for the glory and protection of the most broken and stupid person on the planet. Fast becoming the most hated person also. Eventually he will have no fans left. When that happens, where will the American people be?

As always, great writing and reporting of a thoroughly disgusting subject.

He's looking in a poor state. The two henchmen still look dangerous , looking on big daddy. What a set up. Trouble is once Trump pops his clogs, what's to follow?

Thanks for keeping us up to speed and in buoyant mood!

One of the best parts of last week was Rubio testifying before Congress claiming that Dump wasn’t sitting next to him asleep at the cabinet meeting….Even though the tapes show he clearly was! Dumb AND blind??

Utelady2026's avatar

No he was being obscenely obtuse about it!

Kathy Roeske's avatar

in other words, he lied to Congress under oath!

I think we are all getting sick of being used as a dung pile.

Spot on Mary. Made me chuckle - the lies keep coming. These guys have no shame - totally without a moral compass. He looks more and more out of it everyday.

The saddest part is that he’s the boss of the sad group that was once the Republican Party and the infamous Roberts Supreme Court. How could Republicans be the party of Lincoln?
