Why aren’t some of the very wealthy Harvard alums and friends banding together to raise the money to completely fund Harvard’s losses to trump. Make it truly private with no govt money. They plus Harvard’s endowment could easily do this.

Hey Genocolorado, My guess about the wealthy Harvard alums is that IF they did band together to support Harvard, they would be put on "THE LIST". You know the one the

"Third Wretch" keeps? The one next to the golden crapper that tRUMP had installed next to the take out McDonalds just off the Oval. And they don't want all those pardoned Jan. sixers showing up at their doors with free pizzas.

The WSJ also put out a hit piece on Biden. Don’t be too quick to praise them.

By the way, Bobby encourages the public to "do [its] own research." Listen up, Bobby. The vast, vast majority of medical doctors are clinicians. They are not researchers. They learn in medical school how to evaluate clinical conditions, and how to evaluate research that is presented. We're talking here about four years of medical school, a year of internships, some number of years of residency, depending on the specialty, and possibly fellowship. And you're encouraging the lay public to pretend to duplicate that by consulting "Dr Google?" You're out of what we technically call your fucking mind.

Not only is he out of his mind, he holds no Dr. degree and takes his grandchildren swimming in the sludge. I think he should have been charged with child endangerment, since there was supposed to be no swimming there. He is a danger to everyone in our country, ALL PEOPLE. My only hope is that they all get something really contagious that is beyond serious and there is no treatment, since everything has been cut. Since they all hang out together we could keep it contained to this regime and call it trumps folly.

Do you remember his trip to Texas, after he discouraged parents from immunizing their children against measles, and two children died of it? I understand your reflex, but do you really think he cares any more about his grandchildren than he does about any other Americans? In the video at the end, he acknowledges having used heroin in law school. He thinks it helped him. He doesn't care about anything or anyone.

No, I don't think he cares about anyone but himself. Seems like this whole regime is made up of the most uncaring people on earth. I did not know about the heroin. Wonder is he is still a user of that or something else.

If you watch one of the videos at the end, you'll see Adam Parkhomenko talking about things, with clips of Bobby talking about his time in law school, and having trouble paying attention, but heroin helped him. He didn't say if that was temporary and situational.

I will try to find that clip. Thanks

Trump's Memorial Day message on social media did not mention the service members that gave the nation their last full measure of devotion. Trump’s message began with Happy Memorial Day. Happy? Do we need to know more? I had expected “Happy Memorial Day, Suckers!”

Trump is in the extreme mental decline. He is immediately distracted in his mind’s eye, fixated on personal grievances that are only occasionally interrupted when someone throws a new topic at him, like “Today is Memorial Day, Donald.” So he shifts to “Happy Memorial Day, as I was saying we have this Scum.” That is indicative of a mind controlled and maimed totally by grievance. It is not going to get better. Think much worse. I continue to see the word sociopathy used by learned people, but it is psychopathy. Let me explain.

Note two: Just a reminder, SPs, that we’ll be off this Friday. We’re trying to figure out how to still get you some hot cuss words that day.

Dear Adam & Sam...Everyone who works as hard as you two do, deserves days off. If you insist on working Friday...maybe you could provide us with a comprehensive list of the never ending pseudonyms for the fungus that is second in line to running this country into the ground.

ICK.

RE: Note 11..."We" don't have cooties but Donnie Dump does. Hate to say it but I support those tourists that aren't coming to the US for summer vacations. 😢

I support them, too. They would probably be detained, tortured and sent to some country that wasn't their own. I wish the people in the World Cup would say we are not coming to American and hold it someplace else. I don't feel that they are safe coming here after JD said that they would have to leave immediately after or deal with the government. That sounded like a total threat to me.

Thank you for the information. I don't believe I had heard Vance's threat before. Just when you think it can't become any more ridiculous, shameful, and embarrassing it does.

I continue to be frustrated at the IOC for not meeting to select a new host city/country for the 2028 Summer Olympics. There IS time for a new city to prepare. I'm not saying I want it moved with the loss of financial benefits, etc.; I'm saying it MUST be moved for the safety of the competitors, their families and supporters. The World Cup too should restrict its events to the two other countries - Mexico and Canada and not risk their teams', families' and supporters' safety in traveling to the US. It is unsafe to be in America right now, much less be an international visitor exposed to the cruelty of this administration. My God... we've all read about the foreign visitors and even US citizens who were detained by ICE upon either entering or leaving the country: Germany's Jessica Brösche, Lucas Sielaff, Fabian Schmidt, British student Becky Burke, BC's Jasmine Mooney, etc. The 2028 Summer Olympics and the World Cup's move may risk the wrath of Felon47 and MAGA , but the reality is - the US is not a safe place to visit. And you can tell that, with travel to the US being significantly down in 2025, some countries are heeding the warnings. Why isn't the IOC or FIFA?

Will there be surprise raids, detentions or denial of access to athletes. It would not surprise me if some athletes are given the Stephen Miller treatment. Maybe even, it is a MAGA method to minimize competitors against American athletes. Remember how in DumDum first term he basically rooted for the US women's soccer team to lose. Expect he will posit winners & losers along plenty of Truth Social rants of nations, athletes , etc....

I enjoy everyone of your comments. I don't enjoy the things you have to write about, but, unfortunately that is what our country is about. It's time for all of us to put the present out of it's misery ( getting rid of this regime and all their crime, corruption and cruelty) and move on to rebuilding our country, making it great again. I wish it was that simple. It will happen, but at a great loss and cost.

Note two: Not to worry. You don't owe us any more cuss words. You've already been very generous with them.

Note three: I don't understand what Nixon has to do with Donnie. And "Nixon was in control of his faculties when he wasn't drinking?" So when he was drinking, he wasn't in control of his faculties. And this note is about what?

Note five: More importantly, the SCOTUS is moving on, and quickly losing interests in its own judgments.

Note six: How dizzying for the WSJ.

Note 13: That's what makes your heads hurt?

Note 17: There's a title in itself: "It's almost like they're racist shitheads." You can get a great deal of use out of that sentence.

Note 19: Ouch! That dude has no idea which end is up.

Note 20: Since you appreciate your typos being corrected, it's genius, not genis.

"Back the blew:" The last two sentences are totally correct.

"Git his ass:" You have a couple of directions going here. I disagree that CPB (PBS and NPR) should be supported by the government. They should be supported by their audience. I agree that this is "textbook retaliation." I don't think NPR has been downplaying Republican craziness, but I do think they should be fair. I'm rooting for their audience to step up and support.

"Hollowing out Harvard:" Harvard still gets no sympathy from me until they rehire Claudine Gay.

"Today's clips," paragraph one: Ouch. You'd think someone who stared death in the eyes due to pneumonia wouldn't then drive drunk.

"Today's clips," paragraph two: religious rights against business interests? Not exactly a fair fight.
