The only thing destroying the country is this orange fuckwit, his cronies and dark money.

Lois Henry's avatar

The Supreme Court and citizens united are destroying this country.

All the above plus (BIG plus) any and all voters who for some unholy reason voted for these mentally unhinged losers.

Don't get me started.

Bet your ass they are! They should be dragged out and thrown in PRISON!

I could have more fun, but I have work to do. Suffice it to say:

Note 10: If this country survives, and becomes a real country again, all these names get changed back, and that moronic ballroom (does he go in there to look in the mirror and jerk off, too?) gets razed. The deal was that we didn't pay for it, so Zuck and the boys can whine about what happened to their investment.

FB is a hotbed of fraud and scams! Good ol Zuckie is well aware of this, everybody knows!

If it happens, you're welcome to be a spectator. Although it will be on worldwide TV.

It's hanged, not hung.

Never mind. Pedants come behind original thoughts like the guys with shovels after a parade.

Do it, broad cast videos, but don't be surprized when view numbers are small!

“An instructor at the University of Oklahoma has been placed on leave after a student complained that she received a failing grade on a paper that cited the Bible to assert that the “belief in multiple genders” was ‘demonic.’” - let’s all remember it was a psychology class and the assignment was on LIFESPAN DEVELOPMENT. This piece of shit student took that opportunity to argue about the Bible and gender and failed because THAT WASN’T THE ASSIGNMENT. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

The teacher was set up. There’s a lot more about this story.

100% this is a setup. This little shit is just following the Riley Gaines playbook.

I sure wish I could move to New Zealand: where baby seals walk into the bars for free salmon treats, they have universal healthcare, the populace isn't brain-dead stoopid, and there are no fucking orange racist loving politicians.

Jude, we are not perfect but who is? I can assure you though, that we would welcome you with open arms. Kia Ora!

My son and I visited your beautiful nation in 2017 and I am still gobsmacked at how majestic AND CLEAN the place is. Did some hiking down at Milford Sound and the glaciers, a photography tour around Aukland/Piha Beach, and got to see a real live kiwi bird--which are way larger than I imagined. Almost as big as that baby seal! Mahalo!

Great to hear you both visited these shores. Milford is beautiful, in fact the whole South Island (IMO) makes the North Is. look small in scale - but it does get chilly down there in winter. We are in Napier (East coast of North Is.). It is known for its art deco architecture + great wineries and orchards. We retired here mostly for the climate - 31 Cel. and blue sky today, tomorrow and further according to the weather forecast. I hate the cold - in winter it can get pretty cool but never snow temps. I have travelled to the US a couple of times and would love to go back but not until things change politically. My wife says that they only need to see some of my comments on substacks, youtube etc. and I would be sent straight to Guantanamo. Just know that the majority of Kiwis (people) are right behind you and wish for the end of Trump and his evil regime. I am sure it will come soon. History shows that all dictators come to a sticky end. Best wishes to you and your family. Na mihi kia kaha!

A year ago, I wanted to really enjoy the holidays because I felt like a train wreck was coming. My husband said not to worry, it will take time and trump won't move too quickly. I didn't believe him completely, but I did feel like it would take a while to get the bad stuff really started. We were both SO wrong. The train wreck came full force and blew up in our faces. Then we were bombed, over and over and over....etc. again and again and again. It is SO, SO, SO much worse than I ever imagined. The level of evil, greed, hate, and maniacal idiocy is overwhelming. Like everyone I know and like and love, we're working to support and encourage and lift up ourselves and our neighbors. And when that stray maga asshole who still pops up in my line of vision speaks up to me, I let them have it. They don't even know what to say when you challenge them except more idiot stuff. Ugh. What the hell are we going to do???? Keep fighting, that's what. I needed to say that. Thanks for the outlet!

WTAF Hakeem Jeffries?!?! If somebody is convicted by a jury in a court of law, especially when it's a dem politician, we should not be justifying it. It's like he has no concept of strategy or the bigger picture that trumpstein is doing pay-to-play for his pardons.

Agree. Bad call on HJ’s part. Thinking it may be one thing but saying it out loud?

The "Pitiful Pittance Perks" start kicking in for the 2025 Tax Year so that we won't be so upset over lost SNAP, Medicaid & Medicare benefits.... and the changes to other things like student loans, Pell Grants, and other assistance that would allow you or your children to go to college, the $5 Trillion extra dollars approved to "borrow" for 2025/2026, Unemployment Benefits, tax deductions and tax breaks for you and me that have been eliminated, and the fact that only the richest people will get a tax break.

But you will have pounded into your brain through social media, news, campaign ads, and all other kinds of propaganda what these "pitiful pittance perks" are - but not the nitty gritty details on how they work and how you really won't qualify, or if you do, you won't get much of a deduction.

If you want more information on all the "green stuff" that is about to hit your flywheel, I have written separate articles on the Big Ugly Bill in "Articles by Bluesmurf" - https://bluesmurf.substack.com/p/articles-by-bluesmurf in my substack - check out the articles dated in July 2025.

I also put in a reminder about the new "pitiful pittance perks" in today's post - check it out at @Bluesmurf... Before You Start Getting Inundated with Campaign Slogans & Ads... Know Before You Go VOTE!

Daryl Issa should never be elected to Congress again no matter where he moves.

Humans all belong to the same species. We have genetic quirks. Some require less Oxygen in high altitudes, some, many like me, have Neanderthal DNA, but having access to large sums of money doesn’t change one into a superior species. So Trump&the student who used the Bible as a source are just shit hole people.

Trump should be removed from office. Use any excuse you’re comfortable with: Very Ill, Epstein, startling amount of grift. War crimes. All apply. I’m tired of the theft, I’m tired of the ignorance, tired of defacing buildings, just get him out of the White House

I call complete bullshit on the admiral’s story. He also claimed the survivors were seen retrieving packages of dope from the water and placing them back on the boat, presumably to continue the trafficking activity. On a demolished vessel.

Dude, be a man and step down instead of peddling this horseshit. I do believe the Dems in the briefing are not going to like your story.

I felt bad for him when he was getting thrown under the bus — but not anymore.

And I am flabbergasted that this man of all people didn’t know an illegal order when it was issued. He HAD to know.

He has shamed himself badly. Hope it was worth it.

Show us the video of this purported activity.

I found a list of all the people who are NOT running for Congress next year - probably not complete - but you can also see why. Like Nancy Mace who is planning on running for Governor of SC... Take a look:

Congress - Who’s NOT running in 2026?

A whole list of Dems but more “R’s” are not returning or running in 2026. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The Midterms should be really interesting!

I just listened to the first 2 episodes of Rachel Maddow's new podcast, Burn Order. History repeats itself in our times. Back then the government made up scary accusations against Japanese Americans so they could put them in internment camps...all in the face of unshakeable evidence of the absolute loyalty of these patriotic Americans.

The real story involving Halle Berry is not Gavin Newsom. It’s the story about women’s health and how we all need to be better allies in the fight for women and good quality universal health care in our nation.

If I heard the Pantone copy read over a shot of the color, I'd think SNL was being a little subtle this week. I can't believe that's real.
