WTF is going on with politics?

Voting’s going down, the arch is going up

ROBIN SNYDER'S NOTES ON WTF? — Fri, 04 Sep 2026 06:42:24 GMT

Thursday September 3, 2026

It took about 72 hours for the regime – after the bought and paid for corrupt MAGAfied Supreme Court said that while it was probably really illegal, what the hell, Trump could build his ballroom/bunker/drone port/giant lemonade stand/whatever the hell it is – to announce that they’re about to get going on the cherry on the shit sandwich of his CRAP (Capital Ruinification Appalling Projects) initiative: the hideous arch that nobody on earth wants.

Ridiculous Interior Secretary Doug Burgum announced on not-Twitter today that excavation work will begin within 2 weeks (of course.) In another big F you to the folks Trump considers suckers and losers, regime lawyers, as the Washington Post reports, today asked a federal court to toss a lawsuit that was brought by veterans’ groups against the monstrosity, who pointed out that ithe heinous eyesore of an arch would tower over the dignified grandeur of Arlington Cemetery.

The vets aren’t the only ones who hate it. Just last week the National Park Service issued a report acknowledging the arch would ruin the views and symbolism of other nearby monuments. Minor point I guess because the current symbolism, venerated by Americans for decades, doesn’t mean jack shit to the megalomaniacal sociopath Trump.

As always with these clowns, it gets worse. The Times points out that the regime hasn’t received approval from the National Capital Planning Commission, which has authority over projects on federal land in DC, nor has it completed its review under the National Historic Preservation Act, as required by law. The law??? As if!! LOLOLOL From the story: “Mr. Burgum’s announcement suggests that the administration now feels empowered not just to disregard a lawsuit challenging the arch, but also legal requirements that it had previously committed to follow.” Heck of a job Sam and Amy and Neil and Clarence and Brett - you’ll be cited in history books someday, and not in a good way. They are all beneath contempt.

The regime is keeping their stooges on the Supreme Court busy. About 5 minutes after Federal District Court Judge Indira Talwani, who had blocked the US Postal Service from implementing their blatantly unconstitutional voter suppression plan, had another hearing today to help her decide whether to extend it indefinitely and expressed concern that, if implemented, it would cause “major disenfranchisement” (duh, that’s the point), the regime decided it had seen enough. Law, schmaw, right???

Even though Talwani pledged to “move quickly,” the regime’s cheating, sniveling minions ran to their bootlickers on the court with an emergency filing today. In an absolutely breathtaking bit of gaslighting, Solicitor General D. John Sauer argued, as the New York Times reports, that “the lower court freeze on the plan would impose ‘serious irreparable harm on the federal government, the states themselves, and the voting public.” Aaaarrrrgghhhh!!!!! For the slow ones in the back: the only serious irreparable harm would be to the inveterate cheaters and creeps in the regime who would – mercifully, should their election rigging scheme fail – lose their misfit congressional allies.

In addition to not wanting people to vote (this seems significant given it’s the cornerstone of democracy and all), the regime is also trying to give a kick in the stick to the - **checks notes** - First Amendment since that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are both a real pain in the ass. The “president,” out of sight once again today so he could spend the entire day shitposting, err, “attending policy meetings,” wrote on Lie Social that reporters who (accurately) write about the fact that we’ve run through our ammo thanks to his idiotic war of choice with Iran are “treasonous SCUM.” How presidential!

While Trump remains on the down-low and they still don’t have a press secretary to replace machine gun lips Karoline Leavitt, the regime sends a reliable Baghdad Bob, the always vile and singularly unlikeable and weird JD Vance, out to wave the flag. “Not to brag on my boss,” the reptilian Vance begins in the press room, “but I think he’s set us up to be the most transparent administration in history and we have done that with flying colors.” HAHAHAHAHAHAHA so this is how it’s going to go!! JD you’re killing us!!!

I mean, who knew the oleaginous JD could even be funny but he was actually a laugh riot!!

Some examples:

Reporter: “Why shouldn't voters blame Republicans for high prices?”

Vance: “If you look at the Biden administration…” Nooooo!!!!! You’ve been in office for almost 2 years you weaselly piece of shit!!! They are so addicted to victimhood they can’t stop themselves!! He goes on, absurdly, to say “I don’t care about casting blame, I care about fixing it.” See, I told you it was hilarious!

Vance says, inanely, that "America has fought a lot of wars since I've been alive. 42 years. And we have won almost none of them until Donald J Trump became the president." WTF?? I get that since Trump is the big peacemaker, he’s ended about a dozen or so (HAHAHAHAHA) but we’ve got a big issue with semantics here for old JD since (1) he also, in response to a question about whether the Iran war would be over by the midterms says he “wouldn’t call it a war,” and (2) whatever you are calling the shit that’s going on with Iran, we’re getting our clocks cleaned. Details, details.

Then there was this:

Reporter: “What do you say to those who are uneasy with your close relationship with Tucker Carlson?” (Uh, who is an avowed antisemite, just saying.)

Vance: “Tucker is a friend and I'm not going to play the game where I throw friends under the bus because I have political disagreements.”

That's a game now???? Well, that’s a neat trick! Hey, mainstream media!!!! – can that work for every Democrat who is running for anything from dogcatcher to senator who is being forced to answer for the idiotic remarks of asshole twitch streamer Hasan Piker?? Asking for a friend.

Finally, Ghislaine Maxwell’s bestie/Trump's personal defense attorney Attorney General Todd Blanche was on with Frau Ingraham to talk about the most important issue facing the nation. And what could that be?? Calling it “a pandemic that’s happening in some school districts around the country,” Blanche promised a crackdown on – wait for it -- “secret school gender transitions.” The fact that this doesn't exist isn't going to stop them so chug-a-lug kids: drink!!!!

After 12 years of maniacally chirping at the screen on Fox, the former CNBC Money Honey who morphed into a Trump super fan girl Maria Bartiromo was abruptly told today to pack up her shit and not let the door hit her ass on the way out. Amid fevered speculation about the sudden shitcanning, Puck reports that the breakup stems from Bartiromo wanting to do stories supporting the hallucinogenic allegations about the 2020 election Trump made in his unhinged July primetime speech. Apparently an executive on the business side of Fox – where they’re a little touchy on the election conspiracy stuff seeing that they had to shell out close to $800 million for all the lying they did about Dominion and Smartmatic and whatnot – sent a text to Maria’s producers telling them to put a sock in it. Maria, good little regime mouthpiece that she is, took a screen shot of the text and sent it to the White House. How professional!!!!

The suits at Fox News, Puck reports, found out about the whole mishigas when they got a call from the White House. Well that’s awkward – oh, and clearly a firing offense. See you Maria. What a crazed world we’re living in when the “journalists” (wink, wink) – even at state TV Fox FFS!!!!! – feel their loyalty is to the regime instead of to their employer, or, God forbid, the truth. Heaven help us.

Trump falls sound asleep on TV. Again.

ROBIN SNYDER'S NOTES ON WTF? — Thu, 03 Sep 2026 04:35:45 GMT

Wednesday September 2, 2026

It was just yesterday that Trump’s man crushes Vlad Putin and Xi Jinping, at a security summit in Kyrgyzstan attended by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, repledged their support to Iran, clearly demonstrating that Trump’s humiliating groveling to these tyrants is, uh, not exactly paying off. I mean, nothing quite says being feared and respected in the world again like Moscow and Beijing’s public willingness to keep helping out killing American troops in the Gulf.

Surely the regime is big mad now and reconsidering its relentless sucking up to these horrible regimes, right? Well, that would be a no. Consider arrogant prick Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s appearance on Fox this morning. Asked about high gas prices, Bessent said that prices are spiking now because of the “conflict” in Iran and also because of – get this!!!! – “Ukraine deciding that they want to blow up Russian energy assets and refined products.” Oh no he didn’t!!! Oh yes he did!! Talk about blaming the victim. What a disgrace.

And, as always with these horrible people, it gets worse. MS NOW reports today that Trump is planning to host a State Dinner – extravagant affairs typically reserved for our closest allies – for Xi in a few weeks. You heard that right: Trump will literally roll out the red carpet for the man who is actively funding Iran’s war efforts and who Trump himself accused of interfering in our elections by stealing 220 million voter files. This is madness!!!!

Speaking of madness, Trump, has some more name change idiocies up his sleeve. Repeating his incessant lie that the Strait of Hormuz in under US control, Trump posted on Lie Social today :“Now that we have it under U.S.A. control, should we change the name Hormuz Strait to TRUMP STRAIT???” “Like America itself, it would be ‘hotter’ than ever before! Thank you for your attention to this matter.” Fire up the wood chipper.

After spending most of the day “attending policy meetings” LOLOLOLOL Trump has a media availability in the Oval with a bunch of travel industry executive suck-ups to, he says, “celebrate” the great business they had this summer because of the World Cup. The CEOs take turns kissing Trump’s ass as his face droops and he sleepfarts through their comments. One day soon dude is definitely going to do a face plant onto the desk. Until then, the “president” falling asleep during his like one-hour public availability every blessed day seems like it should be a really huge deal but I guess nah.

His appearances are chocked so full of lies and nonsense in a just world he’d be required to wear one of those big red clown noses. Today was, once again, off the hook, as he saw fit to weigh in on Tiger Woods’ no-contest plea deal in his Florida DUI case, and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s return to England. For the enquiring minds who want to know, Trump thinks Tiger is a “great guy” and in “a lot of pain” and that his deal was “very fair.” As for Harry and Meghan, Trump is “happy” they are leaving the US because he was “not a fan” of the couple. What are we even doing anymore???? It’s like we’re all characters in a giant Truman Show.

While humoring him on his thoughts about Tiger and Harry and Meghan, like any sentient human gives a shit, the media somehow didn’t find time to bring up his scheme, happening in broad daylight, to use the US Postal Service in an attempt to try to end democracy. Minor thing I guess.

Clearly bored with Iran, he shrugs off the renewed bombing campaign - one which took out a wedding party yesterday killing 6 people, as the New York Times reports, and wounding more than 60 – saying that he doesn’t think it will go on “too long.” Probably about 2 weeks, what do you think?

It being an event, allegedly, about the travel industry, a reporter asks Trump about the fact that Canadians aren’t visiting the US anymore. Trump ignores the question and rants that “Canada has been ripping off the US for decades” because “Canada felt emboldened” since before him “they dealt with presidents who didn’t know what was happening.” Can we pause to ponder how absolutely remarkable how many things were totally screwed up for like 250 years before this genius got into office??? Just ask him. He always conveniently forgets that he had an earlier 4-year crack at it and no one ever calls him on it.

Asked about him going all commie colonial in stealing Venezuela’s oil, Trump says "We've taken them out from a very powerful, ruthless dictatorship where many people were in jail. Those people have largely been released. They were political prisoners. But we sort of had this in this country too.” Wheeeee!!!! Here we go!!! “The last 4 years were vicious. Not so much Biden – he didn’t know what was happening - but the people that surrounded him were vicious violent people. Radical left lunatics.” I love how he works to bring the country together, don’t you?

Finally, today marks 80 days since Moscow Mitch McConnell has been seen in public, and – in a sign that his team really doesn’t even give a rat’s ass enough to fake it – more than a month since the last AI generated “proof of life” photo was released. For those keeping score at home, the Daily Beast notes that McConnell has been MIA for “roughly the same number of days the House has been in session for the entire year.” That seems appropriate because that missing individual and that once august government body are now equally inert and supine.

The latest casualty of Trump’s CRAP (Capital Ruinification Appalling Projects) Initiative is the landmark sculpture “Blue” which was installed on the Kennedy Center grounds in 2019. With zero public input, the constantly tormented residents of Washington DC awoke this morning to, as the Washington Post reports, find the northbound lanes of Rock Creek Parkway (need to get to work? Tough shit!) closed so a giant crane could be placed to dismantle the sculpture.

The artist who created the giant sticklike human figure, Robert Shapiro, had described it as a “celebration of possibility.” Now, thanks to a regime that only celebrates cruelty, domination, and corruption, it is being disappeared. As the advocacy group Hands Off the Arts posted, “Wednesday, September 2, 2026 will forever be known as the day the United States government tore down a piece of public art at the behest of a petulant crybaby.”

Finally, the Wall Street Journal reports today that the always oily and repulsive Senator Ted Cruz (R-Cancun) is testing the waters of taking on the reliably repellent JD Vance in ’28. Think about it: Vance vs. Cruz – holy shit, the thought of having to choose one of those 2 is nightmare fuel!! The Journal notes that Cruz is making trips to Iowa and doing the podcast circuit, with his latest stop being on “Hang Out,” the podcast Sean Hannity does for those for whom an entire hour of his bullshit every day is just not enough. On “Hang Out,” taking a trip down memory lane, Sean brought up the 2016 campaign where Trump said Ted’s wife was ugly, accused his dad of having a role in JFK’s assassination, as one does, and bestowed the nickname “Lyin’ Ted.” Asked by Hannity whether he was pissed off at the moniker, Cruz said that, on the contrary, it made him admire Trump’s “political genius.” OMG Ted!!!! I’d say c’mon man, show some respect for yourself but that ship has sailed.

Cruz also – because I guess when you’re totally beclowning yourself you may as well go full bore – praised Trump’s fearlessness, saying “my favorite attribute about Donald Trump is the guy has cast iron balls.” Yeah, he’s a real tough guy when he he’s tearing down sculptures, ripping benefits away from poor people, making up juvenile nicknames, and instructing masked men to beat up moms. When it comes to doing his freaking job and standing up to the world’s dictators, the cast iron balls turn to cotton.

The Supremes green light Trump’s bunker

ROBIN SNYDER'S NOTES ON WTF? — Tue, 01 Sep 2026 05:00:34 GMT

Monday August 31, 2026

Perhaps nothing better sums up the consummate clusterf*ck of corruption that is the Trump regime and its accomplices better than today’s Supreme Court ruling on the Epstein Bunker, also known as the Trump Ballroom/Drone Port/Underground isolation chamber. With Chief Justice John Roberts, siding for a change with the sane members of the court, writing that the ballroom is “likely unlawful,” the bought and paid for MAGA crazed majority is letting it proceed anyway.

For what it’s worth, the majority say they weren’t passing judgment on the legality of the (illegal) project but ruling on the procedural grounds that the National Trust for Historic Preservation didn’t have standing to sue. Oh, okay, whatever. Interesting that somehow, some way they always seem to find some loophole in order to allow Trump to do whatever the hell he wants. Funny how that works huh?

Meanwhile, the hideous regime - unsurprisingly as shitty and horrible hosts as they are holders of the public trust - dropped a giant turd in the punch bowl right off the bat at the Group of 20 finance ministers meeting in North Carolina today by inviting – of course without consulting with anyone else – Russian finance minister Anton Siluanov. European officials are justifiably up in arms since they have been seeking to isolate Trump’s bestie Putin and his vile apparatchiks, apparently not taking kindly to Russia’s murdering their ally Ukraine’s civilians, raping its women and stealing its children, not to mention committing countless acts of violence and sabotage throughout Europe. Those Europeans are touchy that way.

Not that our NATO allies need any more evidence that Trump has totally switched sides and is now aligning with the bad guys and supporting Putin, and that the US military has been rendered a nonfunctional mess, but they got some today anyway. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, the service’s top civilian leader, as the New York Times reports, handed in his resignation to the “president” today. In the middle of a war isn’t exactly ideal timing but here we are.

Drunk former Fox weekend host Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has had it in for Driscoll ever since Driscoll objected to Hegseth’s firings of many of the Army’s most combat-ready leaders because, for Pete, they were not crazily MAGA enough.

The Atlantic reports today that Driscoll, according to sources, actually had a White House meeting with Trump last week to tell the old man directly about how badly Hegseth is screwing up everything at the Pentagon. From the story: “Trump was surprised when Driscoll told him how many generals and other top officers had been fired, pushed out, or passed over for promotion under Hegseth.” (Oh FFS of course he was “surprised” because he’s an idiot and doesn't know anything!!) “Driscoll argued that the Army could not transform itself the way it needs to, because of the departure of so many leaders, this person said, adding that Trump expressed concern about the deep cuts to the Army’s senior leadership.” Not concerned enough, apparently, to get rid of his stooge Hegseth who of course Trump has zero doubt would carry out any and all illegal orders from him without blinking a Botox-ed eye. Today at a media availability, Trump said that he thinks Hegseth is “doing a fantastic job.”

That availability came at his sole public appearance of the day where they plop Gramps, Weekend at Bernie's style, behind his desk in the Oval to spin how he twisted arms to make pharmaceutical companies lower their drug prices. Pause for a minute to imagine a Democratic president screwing with the free market like this: the right-wing media echosystem would shit a brick so large it would block out the sun.

For what it’s worth - and I get he doesn’t drink - but Trump looks like he just woke up from a bender and wasn’t sure whose bed he was in. Actually, he mostly looks like he’d just rather be crawling into bed. Speaking of sleepy time: a sneak peek at his schedule for tomorrow shows he’ll be totally back on the down-low again, as he was for several days last week… hmmmmm, just saying if this were Biden, oh, never mind.

Anyway, Trump says this drug pricing stuff is a “major expansion” of one of his “signature affordability initiatives” which is really something since he’s been saying that “affordability” is a “hoax.” That is some galaxy brained squaring of the circle right there! He’s got the vile RFK Jr, the creepy Dr. Oz and the oily weirdo/Epstein buddy ever-present Howard Nutlick lined up behind him, so they all have a bird’s eye view of Trump, as per usual, falling sound asleep. The hilarious part of Trump sleepfarting while Oz is babbling is the hideous “Bobby” staring side-eye at Trump as if he’s trying to will him to wake the hell up. What a crew.

Trump wakes up to take some questions from the assembled press. Pulling fantasies out of his ass, he says that Iran “is a failed nation” and “totally defeated militarily” (which makes it really odd that they keep launching missiles and drones and mines, but sure.) He lies that “the Strait of Hormuz is in really good shape” and says that “he could go on for an hour” about “the great job we’ve done in Iran.” Nobody bats an eye even though they know none of this is remotely true. This is madness. Because Einstein over here can’t pass up an opportunity for some casual bullying and over-the-top sexism, he tells a female reporter who raised the threat of using a nuclear weapon that she asked a “very stupid question.”

He says that if we just cut off trade with certain countries – because we don’t need their products anyway – the US “just becomes a big money machine.” Wheee!!!! That sound you hear is the collective wail of everyone who has ever even heard the names Adam Smith and John Maynard Keynes.

Asked about springing the Russian finance minister – surprise fellas!! - on the Group of 20 guests, Trump says inanely that “we like getting along with everybody,” continuing: “One of the reasons I’m so successful (huh???? I guess you, me and every other sentient human watching this missed the part where the reporter was asking about him LOLOL) is I get along with everybody.”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA With that, the press is escorted out because how do you possibly top that?

Ridiculous reality-TV-performer-now-playing-the-role-of-Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy was in Detroit today where, at some half-assed rally, he, practically foaming at the mouth with performative rage, zeroed in on one of the hottest issues of our day (insert eye roll permanently into back of head): that automatic stop/start button that shuts off engines at idle to save fuel and cut emissions. I mean who among us wouldn’t agree that that infernal button truly is nightmare fuel up there with not having health insurance and not being able to pay the rent?? (No, it’s not just you – I never gave a thought to that button before either.)

Duffy thundered: "You know the stop/start button on your car? I hate that thing! Thank you Lee Zeldin! He's gotten rid of it and the first cars without the stop/start button are rolling off the line." I swear these knuckleheads literally spend their days dreaming up shit they can be outraged about.

Me, I’m sticking with Epstein, Iran, attacks on Democracy, screwing up the economy, decimating the military, abandoning the rule of law, unbridled corruption, election rigging, say when. I get they’re not as important as that button but still.

Uh, he’s serious about shutting down the press

ROBIN SNYDER'S NOTES ON WTF? — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 05:19:20 GMT

Sunday August 30, 2026

The on again, off again non-ceasefire in the now more than half year idiotic war of choice, the one that was supposed to last 4 weeks or so that we - the formerly most powerful country on earth - are clearly losing to Iran, is off again. The New York Times reports that, for the first time since late July, the US is swapping live fire spit with Iran, hitting some Iranian rocket launchers that were attempting to dump some mines into the totally open (LOLOL) Strait of Hormuz and intercepting Iranian missiles – which is truly some other-worldly shit since both the dear leader and Pull-Up Pete insist that Iran doesn’t have any more missiles left, crazy right? – that had been launched toward US bases in Jordan.

Whatevs. Trump, who is holed up in his bunker in the White House today, is much more concerned about waging war on his US enemies (also known as the majority of the American people) rather than foreign ones. Today he is focusing his demented fire at the media and if it wasn’t so horrendously dangerous – seeing that he wants to use the power of the state to shut down the free press and whatnot – we could just dismiss it as yet another of his pathetic attempts to deny reality.

“THE FAKE POLLS USED BY OUR CROOKED MEDIA ARE OUT OF CONTROL,” the man for whom the 25th Amendment was intended bleated on his dumb personal social media site today, “AND SOMETHING MUST BE DONE ABOUT IT. FCC TO THE RESCUE!” Well, that’s pretty freaking alarming: if accurate polls are reported that hurt the “president’s” fee-fees, he will instruct his corrupt Batman-level villain Brandan Carr to threaten to take away their licenses. That seems fair. Damn, where the hell is Commissioner Gordon when we need him???

For the slow ones in the back who were doubting Trump’s malign intent toward the group he consistently called the “enemy of the people” (leaving aside the possibility you may have been smoking crack) consider this off the hook inanity about something that rubbed the alleged most powerful man on earth the wrong way as he was spending his precious president-ing hours watching TV this morning: “Kristen Welker, the Unpopular ‘Hostess’ of the once great Meet the Press, now considered Meet the Fake Press (quick aside here: consider the sick mentality of the sheep who think this shit is clever) just stated that Donald Trump has ‘mixed results’ on his Endorsements of Candidates.. How can anyone be allowed to say this, working for freely given Public Airwaves? … Because of this purposeful inaccuracy, she will be reported to the FCC for rebuke or punishment…The Press is a Disgrace to our Nation, and I hope that Chairman Brendan Carr, and the fine people of his Commission, will take this Threat to our Country very seriously. Thank you for your attention to this very important matter of Fake Polls and Commentary!”

OMG, needless to say, there is remotely no “threat” except to his sick fragile ego. Yet here we are – at the point of the “president” threatening to pull broadcast licenses from any outlet that says something he doesn’t like. Alas, it was inevitable since the media didn’t stand up to the hideous bully in the first place he kept pushing and pushing. As Democratic lawyer and heroic election protector Mark Elias noted: “I'm sure NBC will respond appropriately by either paying Trump $16 million or, at a minimum, buying a table at the next fancy dinner honoring him.” Yup. It’s beyond awful.
The latest full throttle assault on the press from the babyman bitch snowflake-in-chief who literally can’t handle the truth (try to read that in Jack Nicholson’s voice for full effect) began Friday when Trump attacked “Maggot Hagerman, the Fake Reporter from The Failing New York Times, an unattractive person both inside and out, and who knows less about me than most reporters on the beat (She’s a SCAMMER!)” for her accurate story about how Trump refused to ooze up to New York for the September 11th memorial commemoration because they wouldn’t let him give a partisan speech. Of course – yawn – he immediately went to his weak, pathetic signature move and threatened a lawsuit not only against the Times but also against the Pulitzer Prize Committee which had previously awarded Haberman a prize for her reporting. Wheeee!!!!

What the hell - why not sue her landlord? Or her Uber driver? Or her dermatologist FFS??? This is all so, so stupid. He finished his inane, maniacally sexist, cruel and sick tirade by labeling her “a stalker” who “should be forced to turn over any and all money that she’s made through her fake reporting on me.” He seems totally emotionally stable.

The Times responded that they are “confident in the accuracy of their reporting.” (Translation = F*ck you Gramps.)

In addition to threatening to end the First Amendment (seems like this should be a five-alarm fire but what do I know?) the “president” devoted the rest of his unhinged attention today to taunting our neighbor, critical trading partner, and erstwhile devoted ally Canada. Wow with this kind of frivolity, it's good we're not in a war or anything. Oh, right.

The ludicrous threats to our neighbor to the north came as sickeningly craven tech giant Google reworked Google Maps to rename Lake Ontario Lake America since, as they explain, they rely on “official government sources” to update their maps. In an inane example of how every institution imaginable is contorting themselves to accommodate the brain farts of a madman, Google explained that the lake will still be labeled Lake Ontario for Canadian users; for international users it will be split down the middle with one side labeled Lake America and the other side labeled Lake Ontario. Good grief!!!! Since I have nothing more clever to say: F you Google.

Trump today, in his – or probably more appropriately, Natalie’s – posting frenzy, amplified the Lake Ontario madness, posted an AI slop video of geese, all sporting crazed fake (just like his) Trump hair, firing automatic weapons under a sign reading Lake America. God help us.

As Ontario Premier Doug Ford said on “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” today, “no one’s going to call it Lake America. It’s been Lake Ontario for hundreds of years.” Uh-huh. It’s all so mind-bendingly dumb.

Speaking of, Trump, amplifying his insane Canada bashing, today bleated that “I don’t want Canadian cars, I don’t want Canadian parts, I don’t want Canadian anything,” repeating the abject inanity that “I deal with Leadership of many Countries, but I find Canada to be the worst.” Oh, for sure Skipper! Canada is certainly worse than Iran and North Korea and China and Russia. That makes complete sense.

Trump emerges from his hole and does an “exclusive” (HAHAHAHA I love how he does an "exclusive" with Fox like every hour) with conehead Trey Gowdy tonight. Trump tells him that “if I weren’t president, Israel would be gone. There would be no Israel. And there would probably be no Middle East,” says Canada “thinks they’re a state, but they’re not a state,” and that “we’re absolutely winning the war with Iran.” Awesome. I can sleep better now that we’re caught up on the state of world affairs.

A graphic example today of the gross asymmetry that is the mainstream media’s coverage of our current politics.

While every freaking news outlet on Americans soil has been working overtime to try to get every Democrat running for anything from dog catcher to senator to, preposterously, be held responsible and/or tied to the most inane, hateful and ridiculous things the stupid dipshit twitch streamer who has zero political muscle Hasan Piker has ever said, no one seems to be asking Republicans about the filth vomited by actual presidential advisor Laura Loomer. Weird right?

Frequent flyer on Trump’s plane Loomer said of Florida state representative and Democratic candidate for US Senate Angie Nixon today: “I called you a ghetto bitch, Angie, because you are, and your record proves it. But,you speak Ebonics though, so maybe I need to bark at you and tug your leash and then you’ll finally understand.” Well, this seems suboptimal - oh, and not at all racist, right?

I leave you with the wise words of, uh, former GOP Georgia Congresswoman Marge Greene, who wrote tonight: “I’m not a Democrat and I’m not supporting Angie Nixon, but the Republican Party and President Trump owns Laura Loomer and her nonstop vitriol. This hateful, racist, and demeaning rhetoric should not be tolerated. Ever.” Whoa!!! And then, the money shot: “When will the President and the Republican Party reject her and her hateful racists behavior? They refuse to which tells you everything you need to know.”

You can't trust this nut job as far as you can spit but, wild as it seems, in this case crazy Jewish space laser lady = truth teller. It truly is a world gone mad.

Another day of the Lake America horseshit

ROBIN SNYDER'S NOTES ON WTF? — Fri, 28 Aug 2026 05:52:39 GMT

Thursday August 27, 2026

Because Trump can never leave stupid enough alone, the toddler-in-chief today, during Sharpie time, signed an executive order to rename Lake Ontario Lake America. On top of the pure inanity of it, this is just so freaking cringe – seriously, no one but the most cultish MAGA loons can possibly believe this doesn’t make our country look moronic. By the way, as The Independent notes, while he can instruct his apparatchiks planted throughout the federal government to spend millions of our tax dollars to change official US government documents and records (at least until a sane person assumes office and changes all of them the hell back) he cannot force Canada or anyone else to follow his idiotic naming conventions.

And now it looks like no body of water on earth is safe from an unhinged brain fart/temper tantrum!! Trump says “the lake change is something I’ve been thinking about for a long time” (LOLOL) and “now we have a gulf and a lake and maybe we need an ocean. Maybe we’ll change the name of the Atlantic or the Pacific or maybe we’ll change them both.” Wheeee!!!!

While not addressing the entire hydrosphere, it took about 5 minutes for my boyfriend Mark Carney to make a total horse’s ass of Trump about the lake, saying his stupid names were the mark of an ignorant babyman asshat. Okay, that may be paraphrasing slightly. Carney actually explained that the name Lake Ontario comes from a word meaning ‘the lake is beautiful, the lake is big’ and that the name is “more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.” It gets better.

Carney continued, ahem: “We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms. Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.” Talk about needing a cigarette! Damn, kids, smoke ‘em if you got ‘em!!!

Back to the Oval, to add to the lunacy, for the preposterous lake naming announcement, Trump is flanked by craven Interior Secretary Doug Burgum (presumably he’s in charge of the maps??) and the vile henchman Santa Monica Goebbels Steven Miller (just spitballing here – maybe his role is to whip people while they make the changes to the maps??) and Todd Blanche. Wait, what??? WTF is the Attorney General there???? This is nuts!!!

Trump whines about how Canada “wants to be treated like a state” (no, no, they don’t) and, accordian hands flapping, bleats that “Canadian officials have treated us very badly. They’re nasty people.” (Oh please with the “nasty” people. This is getting so old.) “I had them figured out pretty good in my first term but then the election was rigged and now I’m coming back and finishing the job. But they treat us very badly.” The fact that anyone on planet earth could listen to this deranged maniac moan about how everyone treats him soooooo badly and yet think he looks strong is a mystery for the ages.

Beyond the Canada stuff, Trump, who is desperate to get talks to end his asinine war with Iran going, lies that “we don’t want to speak to them.” He lies that “the Strait is open” and that “through Space Force, which is one of my things, we see every inch of the Strait.” He is so pathetic.

Brushing off a question about his buddies Xi and Putin blatantly providing aid to Iran which helps target and kill American service members, Trump slurs that “Everything they do, we do too. Somebody asked about China, ‘oh, they’re spying’ but we spy on them too. That’s the way it goes.” This is insane!!!!

Also today, President Alfred E Newman told his stenographer at Axios, Barak Ravid, that he’s “not worried Russia will attack NATO.” Well, I guess we can all relax then, right? (Insert head into pile of toxic waste.) Foreign policy analysts, you’ll recall, have been on red alert since Trump’s CIA director John Ratcliffe made a covert rendezvous to Russia on Tuesday, with many speculating his mission was to grovel to, err, warn, Moscow not to attack a NATO country. Trump lied that the secret trip was “standard business.”

Well, this is becoming “standard” too: everyone on earth - apparently even Trump’s man crush Vlad Putin - thinking the USA’s global standing has gone to shit. In an exclusive, the Washington Post reports that Ratcliffe’s secretive trip to Moscow was “preceded by fresh US intelligence that the Kremlin sees the US as weakened by the Iran war, offering Russia an opportunity to escalate action against American interests and allies in Europe.” The damage these imbeciles have done is incalculable.

While everything is going to shit overseas, the regime is redoubling its lunatic efforts on DC’s CRAP (Capital Ruinification Appalling Projects) initiative. Today, insufferable creep Commerce Secretary/Epstein pal Howard Nutlick materializes outside the Kennedy Center court hearing. Asked by NBC News what the hell he was doing there, Nutlick says Trump “asks him to help out on all sorts of things.” Dude is freaking Zelig. Oy vey.

Lutnick, babbling like a madman, emphasizes earlier regime nonsense that they’ll have to knock the monument to the dead guy the hell down unless Trump’s name goes on it and says that, master builder that he is, only Trump has “the power and the expertise” to renovate the Kennedy Center. The stupid, it burns.

Extra Credit:

Pathetic loser soon-to-be-ex-Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy posted today that “No one needs to die from measles in 2026. Misinformation and misguided policies are leaving children unprotected against a disease we know how to prevent. The vaccine is safe and effective. Parents should talk to their doctor about protecting their children from this disease.” Damn, if only he would have had the power to stop this madness. Oh, right, he did. Someone desperately needs to prescribe the doctor a huge dose of shut the f*ck up.

Campaigning with Congresswoman Monica De La Cruz in Texas today, MAGA Mike Johnson says Republicans can’t lose the midterms because if they do “a nightmare scenario will take place where Democrats investigate Trump and his family (oh baby, don’t threaten me with a good time!!!), roil the markets, undermine confidence in the US., and empower our enemies across the globe.” Huh??? Does MAGA Mike have access to the internet FFS???? That is precisely all the shit that’s happening now!!!! This little twit is truly as much of a delusional professional liar as the “president” who gives him his marching orders.

Finally, “President” Trump and “First Lady” Natalie Harp are in Houston tonight for a fundraiser (tickets start at $10,000 a head) for fellow cheater, briber, fraudster, and, in Paxton’s case almost felon (he did community service, paid restitution and took legal ethics classes to get the charges dropped) Texas senate candidate Ken Paxton. Birds of a feather and all that.

Hegseth can’t stop beclowning himself

ROBIN SNYDER'S NOTES ON WTF? — Thu, 27 Aug 2026 04:42:26 GMT

Wednesday August 26, 2026

Drunk former Fox weekend host and galactic ignoramus Pull-up Pete holds a ceremony at the Pentagon today to strut around and talk about how he’s horny for war crimes and how much Biden sucked, using as pawns brave marines who won medals during the chaotic and deadly US withdrawal from Afghanistan. Funny how they somehow always neglect to mention that the withdrawal was put in motion by a Trump 1.0 promise to the Taliban.

Hegseth, as is his wont, was practically foaming at the mouth, babbling about how our “military’s lethal edge will not be compromised by desk-bound bureaucracy or lawyers in the cheap seats.” Dude is really hot for the notion of not holding soldiers accountable to any code of conduct. Seems like that would be antithetical to the whole military rule-following ethos that’s supposed to hold it all together but what do I know?

While Hegseth is putting on a show, more evidence dropped today that this lethal manly man tough guy who hates DEI, anything “woke,” rules that dampen the warfighter spirit, and women service members (yet, as the New York Times reported, hilariously brings his unqualified former Fox producer wife to every meeting as a security blanket) is just, with Trump’s blessing, tearing the whole damn military apart.

A day after the Times reported that, thanks to Pete, the US Army is now “essentially rudderless” (yikes), the Washington Post reports in an exclusive today that the firing of Army chief of staff General Randy George earlier this year was due to – ** checks notes to ensure one is not hallucinating ** - Kid Rock. Well, at least at was for a good reason.

You may recall back in March when a bunch of rogue MAGA loons apparently took it upon themselves to do an unauthorized helicopter flyby of Rock’s Tennessee estate. (Pause here to consider what a sign of the apocalypse it is that Kid Rock has an estate.) George, following protocol (seems like a good idea when you’re dealing with weapons of war and whatnot, but what do I know?), ordered an investigation to determine if any safety regulations were violated. When he didn’t put the kibosh on it after being told rule-hater Push-Up Pete didn’t want it to continue, that was it for the highest-ranking uniformed officer in the US Army. This is madness.

Pull-Up Pete’s enabler Trump was pretty much out of sight for the second straight day with a schedule chock full of fake “policy meetings” (staff tells him how great he is), “signing time” (plays with Sharpie), and “intelligence briefings” (LOLOL as if). He did take time to tear himself away from vital US government business to do an interview with batshit crazy conspiracy theorist Glenn Beck (yeah, I forget he’s still a thing too). The Daily Beast reports that Trump told Beck he’s serious about renaming Lake Ontario Lake America “because then we’ll have a Gulf and a Lake” (oh dear God), and that Dolly Parton “really liked him.” The wacky talk radio host, you’ll recall, is all in on lunatic shit like FEMA building concentration camps and Obama wanting to end capitalism but that whopper Trump dropped about Dolly liking him was even too much for Beck, who laughed out loud. HAHAHAHAHA

Trump also managed to do a binge clowndowning episode on Lie Social, where he posted more than 40 times (!!!!) over the lunch hour. There was the evergreen of him in his pretend military uniform in reform, err, boarding school side by side with Barack HUSSEIN Obama smoking a joint, an AI slop image of him astride Iran with a “Mission Accomplished” sign (damn, when did that happen?), and pictures of statues all over DC that have had the hideous Goldfinger treatment. There was an extended bleat about Roger Clemens not being in the hall of fame back-to-back with how Ralph Norman blew his career by endorsing Nicki Haley, and, what the hell, a bleat about how climate change in bullshit. (Sports, politics, climatology – dude is a true renaissance man.) Mostly, though, it was a trip down memory lane with multiple pictures of him and his hideous parents. Goddamnit, Fred, why didn’t you ever hug that psycho??? Our country could have been spared so much misery!!!

Meanwhile, while Trump is scheming 24/7 to rig or cancel or throw into complete chaos the upcoming elections, he’s hedging his bets by dictating strategy. With his approval numbers at a historic low, the economy in the shitter, and the Iran War at a stalemate, Trump has come up with what he thinks is a foolproof plan: Make it all about him! Wheeee!!!! The Atlantic reports that Trump plans to spend some of the $400 million in his MAGA Inc SuperPAC to fund ads touting his incredible record. LOLOLOL go for it, Gramps.

$400 mil or not, if, somehow, miraculously, there is a free and fair election, Republicans are going to get their asses kicked and if/when that happens, the maniacally insecure, pathetic Trump wants you to know it’s not his fault. Because of course not. Among his torrent of posts today, Trump reposted a missive from twisted MAGA loon Matt Van Swol who contends that Republicans are “f*cking up” by – wait for it – not standing with Trump strongly enough. HAHAHAHAHA This freaking guy.

Extra Credit:

This one truly belongs in the pettiness Hall of Fame. The New York Times reported this week that the State Department, which apparently has nothing better to do because all foreign policy decisions are made on Truth Social, is looking into selling a painting by celebrated artist Kehinde Wiley, who created President Obama’s amazing official portrait.

The Department is now in possession of the painting after US Ambassador to the Dominican Republic/MAGA loon Leah Campos (sister of TV personality Rachel Campos-Duffy, who is the wife of idiot Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy; small world, right?!) posted a video of workers taking down the painting in the US Embassy there, accompanied by the song “We’re Not Gonna Take It.” We’re not going to take having a freaking painting on the wall?? Sheesh, get a grip sister. The director of the regime’s Art in Embassies program called the painting “aesthetically terrifying” (OMG these snowflakes) and “very woke” (translation = featuring a black person). Seriously, WTF is wrong with these people???

Keyboard warrior Trump battles Canada and Iran on Lie Social

ROBIN SNYDER'S NOTES ON WTF? — Wed, 26 Aug 2026 05:16:28 GMT

Tuesday, August 25, 2026

If you had a fleeting thought that Trump couldn’t conceivably get even more more ignorant, more petulant, or more of an international embarrassment than he already is, well, first of all – what the hell were you thinking?? Talk about a failure of imagination! Second, then you may have missed his latest salvo in the galactically idiotic trade war he launched with our neighbor to the north.

In retrospect, since he truly only has a couple of go-to moves – all ridiculous, needless to say - we should have seen it coming: Yup, like a dog pissing all over the neighbor’s yard, Trump is blathering about changing the name of something he’s got no authority over: “The United States is giving serious consideration to changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America,” Trump bleated on Lie Social this morning. What a tool. And, because whatever inanities the boss vomits out on his dumb personal social media site are immediately amplified by official US government channels (just shoot me) the White House posted maps of “Lake America” all day. JFC. Just imagining the type of imbecile who looks at this and thinks “Hell yeah!” makes me shudder.

I kind of liked Michigan Congresswoman Debbie Dingle’s response better: On not-Twitter, Dingell suggested “Let’s just call it Lake Natalie so we know you’ll start protecting our Great Lakes.” HAHAHAHAHA

Becoming, in all likelihood, the very first US elected official of any level to ever want to pick a fight with Canada (because, in the immortal words of Nancy Kerrigan – “Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?”), Trump shitposted about them all day (must have been between attending all those back to back “policy meetings”), calling my boyfriend Mark Carney a “weak and ineffective Prime Minister” who is lying about US demands “in an attempt to gain political support, which he totally lost.” (Carney’s popularity is at an all-time high.)

Trump says Canada has been “ripping off” the US for decades, lies that the US loses $60 billion to Canada ever year, and says – get this shit – “I I deal with many countries, and Canada is easily the most difficult and unreasonable.” And with that, Trump becomes the first person in recorded history to accuse Canadians of being “difficult and unreasonable.” Just my hunch, but I think it’s a him problem, not a they problem.

Because Canada, God bless them, has a big brass set and leaders who actually (1) understand economics and (2) can speak in coherent sentences, they are continuing to tell Trump to shove it, announcing today, as the Wall Street Journal reports, tariffs of up to 50% on more than 700 US products. And just when you thought you couldn’t love Canadians more, there’s this from the Journal story: “Analysts noted that the tariffs targeted products made in states with hotly contested congressional elections, including processed cheese from Wisconsin, seafood from Maine, and washers and dryers from Kentucky, where General Electric has a major operation.” Chef’s kiss right there. “We are being wise and strategic,” said Industry Minister Melanie Joly at a news conference.” Oh, you go sister!!!

The thing is, you know and I know that it’s only a matter of time before Trump TACOs like a little bitch. As Sam Stein summed it up in The Bulwark: “Can we just jump to the part where Trump announces a ‘major’ truly ‘historic’ deal with Canada that only he could negotiate - after which the markets spike, MAGA praises his cunning dealmaking, and then we get the specifics and it looks basically like a return to the status quo with promises for more negotiations?” LOLOL Bingo.

Elsewhere on Lie Social, Trump announced that all mines have been removed from Strait of Hormuz and that a “Zero Tolerance policy on mine placement is in full force and effect.” HAHAHA What is he going to do if they start mining again???? Re-start the war? US credibility is simply nonexistent. Also, resuming military action could be especially problematic since, as the New York Times reports today, “a series of firings and feuds initiated by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has left the Army essentially rudderless.” OMG

So Trump is full of shit on the military threats, and it looks like old Operation Economic D Day is a bunch of crap too. Meidas Touch quotes Iran’s parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf saying today: 'We've spoken with our allies like China and others, and they've confirmed that nobody takes the United States seriously anymore, and nobody's going along with Economic D-Day that Donald Trump and Bessent are threatening.'" Damn, it’s great being respected all over the world again, isn’t it?

A reminder today that the damage being caused by these clowns is all-encompassing. In a tragedy of easily preventable death, the Pennsylvania Health Department reports today that 2 unvaccinated people there have died of measles, the state’s first measles deaths in 35 years. Make America Healthy Again, right? Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro says he declined federal assistance when incompetent weirdo RFK Jr reached out to him today, telling Kennedy to butt his dumb ass the hell out since the state’s own Department of Health would do a better job.

“I was very, very blunt with him,” Shapiro recounted in an online post. “There’s real life consequences to spreading misinformation. Sharing conspiracy theories and misinformation does not help the cause of public health." Gosh, grown-ups are so impressive.

Extra Credit:

Talk about taking your bat and ball and running home like a little bitch. The regime is threatening to demolish the Kennedy Center if the dear leader’s name isn’t on it. In a court filing, NBC News reports, Todd Blanche’s totally independent Justice Department wrote that if the regime can’t follow Trump’s plans for the site – including putting someone else’s name on a monument to a dead guy, which will never not be the most outrageous thing in like ever – “the Center will deteriorate further into an unsafe, decrepit structure that will be required to be taken down.” I got nothing.

Finally, they may have to check what they’re putting into the water over there at Fox. A week after Jesse Watters said that Republicans who whined about Jon Ossoff mentioning Natalie Harp were engaging in performative bullshit, today on his insipid show “The Five,” Watters was shouting out – wait for it – MAGA’s favorite bogeyman Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed. El-Sayed appearance on the show last night seems to have made an impact on old Jesse. Tonight, while half-assed protesting that he still doesn’t “trust him,” Watters called El-Sayed “a compelling, a confident guy, kind of a guy's guy.” Holy shit! Then this: “You know, I like him. I don't want to like him, but I like him.” If Jesse keeps this up, he’s going to get his ass fired.

Canada spikes the ball on Trump

ROBIN SNYDER'S NOTES ON WTF? — Tue, 25 Aug 2026 04:38:00 GMT

Monday August 24, 2026

Trump’s apparatchiks on the Supreme Court today, in an unsigned opinion, granted the regime “emergency” authorization to end free and fair elections. The seditious six said Trump and his goons could proceed with their plan to solve a problem – widespread voter fraud – that exists only in Trump’s disordered brain. Specifically, as the New York Times reports, the regime can proceed with their election rigging scheme, as laid out in a Trump executive order, to have the USPS decide which voters should receive mail-in ballots and have the Department of Homeland Security monitor voter rolls to look out for non-citizens.

The Supremes didn’t actually rule on the EO but agreed with their boss daddy Trump that the 23 states + DC which filed suit to block all this bullshit couldn’t prove they’d been harmed by it because it hasn’t gone into effect yet. The issues will now go back to the lower courts, whose decisions Trump will inevitably appeal back to the high court. As Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson warned, in a gem of an understatement, this order “needlessly injects chaos and uncertainty into the upcoming midterm elections.” That, after all, is the point.

It’s a true horror show and also absolutely astonishing that these six distinguished jurists apparently all missed that exact same day of law school where they taught that the Constitution says states run the elections. What are the odds of that huh?

Gramps had another one of his clowndowning episodes around 1am this morning, posting all manner of idiocies, lies and AI slop on his dumb personal social media site. Mixed in amidst photos of him hanging out with Kim Jong Un was an unhinged rant about how “Democrats are going CRAZY with Fake Polls” (somehow those mastermind Democrats even infiltrated Fox I guess) “but the actual Polls are tremendous, and the Spirit in our Country has never been higher.”

There’s an old axiom that nobody in the history of the universe ever wanted to change the rules of a game they were winning. I guess another first for Trump here: the man says he’s got great polls, everybody loves him and he’s on top of the world meaning his party should be coasting to a big win in the midterms, yet he has a battalion of henchmen working 24/7 to mess with the rules of the November election. Something doesn’t add up huh?

Speaking of winning big, during his 1am phone bender, Trump also posted that “We’re winning against EVERYONE, including Iran, whose Country is in Economic and Military Death Spiral.”

Oh right, Iran! Today was the day for the announcement of Economic D Day, now called Operation Economic Outcast, and the big unveil seemed to go over like a big wet fart. Since the military portion of the program has been a dud, Trump, you’ll recall, has for days been threatening to cripple Iran with economic moves, which seemed like a harebrained scheme to begin with since we’ve been imposing economic sanctions on Iran for like 50 years but what do I know? I guess they never had Gramps’ marketing panache behind them before.

They trot out arrogant prick Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to roll out this thing, which he says is geared to sever Iran’s economic relationships around the globe. Damn, shit like this would work better if we still had any allies huh?

The war with Iran, for today at least, ended up getting overshadowed by the new one with Canada. Trump will inevitably TACO on this, because someone will at some point get through to him that the action would cripple the US auto industry and there’s a chance he wouldn’t get away with blaming Biden for that one. The Canada stuff is so bananas that even some usual supplicants are antsy, with another critical editorial in the Wall Street Journal today with the headline: “Trump to Ford Motor: Drop Dead.” LOLOL subtle.

Until Trump caves, we can marvel in my new boyfriend Canadian Prime Minster Mark Carney putting the babyman bitch in the White House in his place. And when you thought witnessing that couldn’t get any better, good old Ontario Premier Doug Ford, who has previously told Trump to kiss his ass, jumped into the fray today. During the epic clowndowning spree this morning, Trump had also gotten in a few personal shots at Ford, calling him the “less charismatic, intelligent, and overall unimpressive brother of the late, great, Rob Ford.” Good grief. Remember when actual trained diplomats were a thing? That was nice.

At a press conference in Ontario, Ford says that he doesn’t “respond to a dictator like President Trump, a bully like President Trump,” that he’s not about to take economic advice from “a guy that’s the king of bankruptcies.” Looking ahead to November, Ford says “even your own people don’t like you.” (Ford must be reading those Democrat Fake Polls) “And they're gonna speak loud and clear in the midterms. If I was allowed to, I'd be down there door-knocking." That’s awesome.

And for the chef’s kiss: "I can go back and forth with Trump. You know, I'm not going to, I'm just not going to take the bait. This guy's a loser. He's going to be a loser. And you know something? I have more courage, more brains in my baby toe than he has in his whole body." Can a Canadian run for president of the United States? Asking for a friend.

After a jam-packed day of “policy meetings” (HAHAHAHAHA as if) Trump is joined by plastic face Secretary of (Destroying the) Education Department Linda McMahon in the rose-less Rose Garden for a “Back to School” event, ostensibly to talk about school choice (also known as defunding public schools but that’s a discussion for another day.)

Trump tells the assembled parents and little kids (back to school, get it?) that his new vaccine policy is meant to prevent autism, and claims it will show “a very big difference” in rates. Decades of extensive scientific research prove this is abject nonsense. Isn’t education fun?

But it doesn’t take long to get to the money shot, with Trump bleating that “Every public school in America is now on notice that they tell a child they're trapped in the wrong body, they are committing child abuse.” Drink!!!

McMahon is all in, saying that "After the Biden administration allowed schools to secretly transition students without parents' knowledge, President Trump is defending parental rights like never before.” The fact that the president and his entire cabinet say batshit crazy things on the order of Hillary drinking the blood of children in the basement of a pizza parlor every blooming day and it just falls into the ether will never not be ming-boggling.

Trump says that “We're teaching our children to love America, not to hate America, there's a lot of love going on right now.” Yeah, I feel it in the air, don’t you? They play a kind of raggae version of YMCA as he waddles out.

Extra Credit:

Talk about flooding the zone with shit! In addition to the old man, there were all manner of stooges out and about today spreading the word.

Pawpaw’s pride and joy, the reliably repellent VP, was up in Biddeford, Maine with his hilarious anti-fraud tour. JD says "The gig is up - commit fraud against America and go to jail.” Well, unless you’re Trump, or a member of the Trump family, or another of his friends. Details, details.

In blasting Canada, JD says that "Canada is a state - sorry. Freudian slip." Yar-yar. A real card this guy.

But even the singularly unappealing, unfunny, awkward Vance wasn’t as nails-on-a-chalkboard nauseating cringe as drunk former Fox weekend host Pete Hegseth. Pull-up Pete is at the Oshkosh Corporation in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, a stop on what he’s calling his “Arsenal of Freedom Tour,” which he says he’s doing because "we want all of our defense contractors to pivot to a wartime footing and build for victory.” Wait what???

And so you can sleep better tonight, know that “We’re restoring the warrior ethos and an uncompromising focus on lethality. It means no more DEI. It means no more trannies, just training.” I can’t even…

Mark Carney. Baller.

ROBIN SNYDER'S NOTES ON WTF? — Mon, 24 Aug 2026 05:36:12 GMT

Sunday August 23, 2026

Forget about Trump’s nonsense about Canada becoming the 51st state. Is there any way we can just become Canada’s 11th province? Pul-eeeeze????

I never thought it would come to this, but I may have to cheat on my boyfriend Jack Smith for Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. In a clear-eyed, no bullshit speech to the Canadian people yesterday, after Carney had his negotiators tell their American counterparts to go F themselves, Carney - who has a 60%+ approval rating as opposed to Trump’s putrid barely over 30% - spoke of Canadian pride and sovereignty and how last-minute American terms were unacceptable, including Trump’s jingoistic demand, as the Wall Street Journal reported, that Canada stop using French labeling, which is of course the country’s co-official language, in its products sent to the US.

Carney, as the New York Times reports, famously said in that speech that “America has changed” and that “we recognize that sometimes, its signature is written in pencil.” Ouch. Would have been hilarious if he had said disappearing Sharpie instead of pencil but the point stands. He says that Canada will retaliate for Trump’s bullshit “dollar for dollar.”

Damn, I can feel my resolve stiffening and I’m not even Canadian!! I was already in since the dude has a BA from Harvard and a PhD from Oxford but really started swooning when, unlike our country’s law firms and universities and elite institutions who caved when they had to put their dicks on the line and accept pain, he actually stood up to the bleating bully. And, my God, that thing where the male leader of a North American country speaks in coherent, complete sentences, wow!!!! I think I need a cigarette!!

The way this dude Carney, over and over, clearly suggests that Trump is an ignorant dangerous piece of shit without using those exact words (diplomacy and all) is a masterclass. Actually, never mind about needing a cigarette – I’m buying a carton.

The only upside of this horrific lunatic made-up trade war with our most important ally is watching Republican senate candidates squirm and twist themselves into knots over it. Perpetually concerned Maine Senator Susan Collins posted today that, since Mainers import more than $2 billion in Canadian products every year and they are well and good f*cked by Trump’s horseshit with Canada, she is “urging both sides to return to the negotiating table.” Way to make the tough calls Senator! That will surely have an impact. HAHAHAHA Oh, also, Punchbowl News reports today that Collins will not be attending grotesque VP JD Vance’s rally in Bangor tomorrow because she was “already scheduled.” LOLOLOL This woman is a clown and a fraud. Hopefully Maine won’t be Lucy with the football once again where they fall for her bullshit about being independent only to send her back and have her vote MAGA-line like 96% of the time.

The mishigas with Canada is so bananas that even the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal which, unlike the news section, reliably kisses Trump’s dumb ass, today, in a headline, called the shit show with Canada “the dumbest trade war,” noting that Trump’s moves “make no political or economic sense.” Well that about sums it up.

Everything is so stupid it’s hard to know where to start. While we’re in an economic war with our neighbor, (formerly) best friend, and closest trading partner and in a (clearly losing) shooting war with Iran (this seems serious), the “president” is waving a green flag like a dork and having an Indy Car race through the streets of the country’s 22nd most populous city which shut down National, one of the nation’s busiest airports, for three hours because surely that is a good idea.

To begin the absurd “Freedom 250” car race, which literally no one on the planet was asking for, Trump drives around the track in a motorcade so he can go like full-on Mussolini. The fact that this kind of grotesquerie is pretty much normalized now is beyond alarming.

Of note, when the rulers (we may as well call them that since the regime is truly akin to the whack jobs running Panem in The Hunger Games at this point) assemble to watch the dumb spectacle, human adhesive Natalie Harp is on hand and is caught on video chatting it up with Qusay, err, Dumber, err, Eric Trump. There is also video of the vile Melania, who surely got paid a bundle to show up today, chewing out Trump - with everyone nearby leaning in to catch the drift (LOLOL) – apparently because of it, and then getting up and walking the hell out of their viewing stand. Damn. How it is that that heinous bitch can walk out and we’re still stuck??? This is soooo not fair!!! Oh, and that video the official White House feed put out of Trump waving the green flag, standing next to Melania? Apparently they cropped out Natalie in the background. These guys are really smooth.

The race was idiotic, it cost tens of millions of dollars, and inconvenienced hundreds of thousands of residents but, what the hell, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum told Fox that DC residents are telling him “please, please, do this again next year” (the voices in Trump’s head are clearly jumping over to this asshole’s) and MAGA Mike Johnson says he’ll be “pushing for” making it an “annual event.”

Extra Credit:

You know who wasn’t at the big DC race, to name 3? Tucker Carlson, Thomas Massie and Marge Greene, all formerly big ass kissers of the “president.” Their collective change of heart has Trump apoplectic and, Friday night, he blasted them, on a post on his dumb social media site, as “LOSERS ALL!” saying of Tucker that “nobody cares about him any longer in that he has become totally irrelevant (HAHAHAHAHA apparently not to you Gramps!!!). He calls him, in an invective he typically reserves for minorities and probably used to inflame the racist POS Carlson, “very Low IQ.” He dumps on “Traitor” Greene are “real JERK” Massie in similarly inane ways and ends his lunatic rant with “To all of them I say, PRAISE BE TO ALLAH!” Wait, what????? What does this even mean??? The fact that the “president” can say, do and write absolute idiocies and it’s not a 5-alarm fire will never not be crazy to me.

I guess it helps that the Republican-controlled US Congress – and damn, I’m old enough to remember when the Congress was considered a co-equal branch of government!!! - now sees its role as simply being Trump’s unquestioning manservants.

As if Trump lickspittle South Carolina Senator Tim Scott couldn’t get any more ridiculous, he had an interview for the books on Meet the Press today. Listening to these idiots try to justify themselves, it’s really no wonder the Republicans have mostly given up on having town halls and are pretty much just hiding from their constituents.

Kristen Welker: "Trump promised he was going to bring prices down on day one. Did he break that promise? Prices have gone up."

Scott: "Joe Biden brought 21% extra costs on the American family."

Welker: "We're not talking about Joe Biden, though. The Biden administration is over. We're two years into the Trump administration."

Scott: "The original sin of costs in America in the last eight years goes back to Joe Biden."

Welker: "President Trump has been in office for two years."

Scott: "Let me finish. Let me finish. Let me finish. Let me finish. President Trump has brought inflation down."

Welker: "Inflation was at 3% when President Biden left office. It's at 3.4% right now…Gas prices are over $4 a gallon, up over a dollar from a year ago.” Uuuuhhhhh….

You can see the smoke coming out of Scott's ears as he desperately tries to find a way to segue into how the Democrats just want transgender for everyone but the words fail him. What the hell, drink anyway!!

And just when you thought it couldn’t get any stupider, I give you even more delusional cultist Florida Congressman and candidate for governor Byron Donalds on Face the Nation.

Margaret Brennan: "Nearly all of Florida is below the 95% immunization rate for herd immunity for measles. So, is your message to Florida parents to get your kids vaccinated?"

Donalds: "No. My message is the reason we have seen a measles outbreak is because of rampant illegal immigration." Wheeee!!!!

Natalie Harp, Superstar.

ROBIN SNYDER'S NOTES ON WTF? — Sat, 22 Aug 2026 04:54:55 GMT

Friday August 21, 2026

The usual avalanche of bullshit was coming so fast and furious today it was almost enough to make us forget about Natalie Harp. HAHAHAHAHA I said almost!!

As a bunch of online wags have noted about this freak, it’s probably only a matter of time until we find a bunny boiling in a pot in the White House mess. The MAGAverse sure seems to have miscalculated trying to gin up faux outrage over Georgia Senator John Ossoff’s mention of Trump “traveling with Natalie,” since now we’ve got wall-to-wall all Natalie, all the time and it is glorious.

The Daily Mirror published a hilarious photo from 2023 of Harp – who was quickly dubbed “Insane Bolt” HAHAHAHA - literally sprinting after Trump’s golf cart on a course in Scotland. CNN interviewed Harp’s estranged brother who attributes Natalie’s politics to their wingnut mother, and says his sister’s “infatuation” with Trump is “unhealthy.” Uh-huh. Trump whisperer Maggie Haberman also popped on to CNN to describe Harp as his “human binkie.” And the Daily Beast, God bless it, has posted in full some of Harp’s letters to Trump, which are absolutely bananas. The letters, excerpts of which had previously been published by the New York Times, were originally given to the author Michael Wolff by a Trump staffer who found them amidst a pile of printouts Harp gave to Trump.

“I never want to bring you anything but joy,” Harp wrote to Trump in one of the missives, “I don’t want to ever let you down.” (I think I just threw up in my mouth.) “Thank you for being my Guardian and Protector in this Life.” Not only is this gal batshit, she’s Also DOING the Weird Capitalization TOO. Hey, that was fun!

She tells him she is jealous of women “whose only job seems to be to talk with you and look pretty,” adding “I want that job!”(eeeewwwwww!!!) and beseeches, “When I fail, will you tell me? You have the absolute right to cuss me out, if need be, when I deserve it, because no one knows or cares about me more.” Damn, if this doesn’t scream textbook abusive relationship, I don’t know what does.

The loon signed one letter “Always” and the other one “With all my heart,” as one does. I mean who among us hasn’t written such a letter to their boss, right? LOLOL This is some twisted shit.

In non-Harp news, Trump, who is truly less a “president” than a shit-posting troll and an authentically evil bastard, filed an absurd $5 billion lawsuit against the liberal think tank Center for American Progress. Trump, the New York Times reports, is claiming defamation for the Center’s (accurate) report that his maniacal deployment of the National Guard has had a negligible effect on lowering the violent crime rate. Trump’s action is pure harassment, plain and simple, and pretending the First Amendment has somehow been repealed, all because the report contradicted some of his lies. The Center’s president, Neera Tanden, called it what it is: “baseless” and “a transparent attempt to silence us.” For the slow ones in the back, this is called authoritarianism.

Speaking of not being able to handle the truth, the head babyman in the Pentagon today fired the publisher and the editor in chief of the military publication Stars and Stripes, which has had editorial independence from the government forever but which the snowflakes in the regime now consider – wait for it – “woke,” which is their go-to for the truth. The shitcanning, the Washington Post reports, was prompted by the editor in chief, Erik Slavin, having the temerity to tell CBS News in an interview that the publication should be independent for service members and that censorship would be a “red line” for him. That’s it!! To sum up, in response to something to which you and I and any normal person would respond, uh, “duh,” Pull-up Pete screamed “insubordination!!!” I for one sleep better knowing we have a strong secure man like him overseeing our nation’s defense. (Insert head into egg salad sitting out in the sun for a week.)

Meanwhile, to help get a replacement puppet a new Senate term, Trump somehow manages to peel himself away from his “policy meetings” (HAHAHAHA) and decamps to South Carolina tonight to campaign for his former mascot Lindsey Graham’s sister Darline in her runoff against fanatical Trump fanboy Congressman Ralph Norman. Sucks to be you Ralph – that slavish loyalty really paid off huh?

Darline, you’ll recall, has been taking some for admitting - out loud like a moron - in a debate with Norman, that she doesn’t know jack shit about foreign policy. For Trump, of course, this is more reason to support her, since the last thing MAGA wants is a senator who thinks for themselves! Come to think of it, dipshit Darline is actually perfect!!

In fact, on the tarmac at Andrews on his way down south, asked about Darline infamously punting on her debate question about Taiwan by saying, essentially, “I’m an ignorant dope,” Trump says it’s all good: “She is going to do what the military wants, and really what the president wants. She understands that national security is my thing.” Yeah, because he’s doing such a bang-up job.

In an absolutely batshit crazy rally for Darline – about which, as usual, pretty much the only mention of the actual candidate is about him when he says that “Lindsey respected Darline more than anyone, including me, which does not make me happy” yar-yar - Trump says that we have “total control of the Strait of Hormuz” and, in fact, “views it as an American territory now,” (Wheeee!!!!), that we have “the greatest economy in our country’s history,” and that his “poll numbers are great, except for the fake polls.” To be clear, this is certifiably nuts.

I’m old enough to remember – and I know I bring it up incessantly but I can’t stop thinking about it – how, in the days after the 2020 election, Trump’s inner circle convinced the whole GD sick twisted party to “just humor him” for a couple of days in his insane delusion that he actually won so he could get over it slowly. That shit really worked out. Now the whole country is enveloped in his narcissistic psychotic madness. This is some really dark, really horrible stuff.

And, inevitably, it got worse. In the midst of the rally’s nonstop sweaty deranged lunacy, while, insanely, the Kool-Aid drinkers in the venue are cheering for everything that comes out of his anus-shaped piehole, Trump got to his favorite subject, bleating that “The Dumocrat Darlene is running to defeat is a far-left political hack who supports transgender for everybody (here we go!!!! drink!!!!) and believes in telling confused children they’re trapped in the wrong body. By the way, did you notice how that’s changing now? In fact, hospitals now are doing reverse surgery at my order. (Holy shit, make it a double!!! Actually, WTF, a triple FFS!!!) They're doing reverse surgery. Nobody ever heard about it.” Oh. My. God. Jesus take the wheel!!! Nobody ever heard of it because it’s absolutely insane!!! What the hell, maybe he senses a marketing opportunity? If they’re sewing pee-pees back on, perhaps they can call them Trump Dicks, what do you think?

Extra Credit:

While the Orange God King ventured to South Carolina, his reliably repellent deputy
JD Vance showed up in Middletown, Ohio today, ostensibly to deliver a speech on the regime’s failing economic agenda. Yet somehow in 5 seconds he got to their favorite boogeyman Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, saying: “I would love to go back in time and tell my papaw that there is a man who claims to stand for working people, who says not only should we have Sharia law, but if you criticize it, you are a white supremacist.” Well, needless to say, E-Sayed said no such thing. Regardless, I would love to go back in time and tell his papaw that JD is an insufferable piece of shit. Does that make us even?

Finally, plumbing new depths of weaseldom, pathetic Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts did his mob boss a solid today, allowing construction to continue “temporarily” on the monstrosity Trump is erecting after illegally demolishing the East Wing of the People’s House. Roberts’ one-sentence unilateral ruling puts the kibosh on today’s deadline, imposed by a lower court, to stop construction until the courts can decide on an emergency appeal in a lawsuit brought by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The Washington Post reports that Roberts’ administrative stay will likely “remain in effect for a matter of days to give the court time to fully consider the appeal.” What a farce. We know precisely how this will end up. Outgoing White House spokesliar Karoline Leavitt posted today that “President Trump is Right: Judges Can’t Be Construction Foremen.”
But we sure as hell know 6 of the Supremes Can and Will Be Lickspittle Quislings.

Thanks so much for reading and stay safe and healthy everyone!!!

Melania shows up at the White House. It’s gross.

ROBIN SNYDER'S NOTES ON WTF? — Fri, 21 Aug 2026 05:05:24 GMT

Thursday August 20, 2026

Quick one tonight:

More evidence that the regime doesn’t even try to make a coherent argument (as if!) or make sense anymore came this morning from arrogant prick Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. The Washington Post reports that, amidst other dismal economic news like prices growing faster than wages, Walmart today “reported its weakest sales growth since the pandemic recession in 2020.” Well, that’s no bueno. Employment numbers are also grim. Asked for his take on the shitty jobs numbers, Bessent told CNBC that "after the deportations that we've seen and the closing of the border, we don't need to produce as many jobs.” Come. On. What the hell does this even mean???

Taking time out from his insane efforts to manipulate the bond market, Bessent also told reporters that "We've got a spike in oil prices today that I don't really understand.” Damn, our boy really has his finger on the pulse. Someone needs to clue him in about the war, what do you think?

With horrific news on the economy and his idiotic war of choice, Trump, of course, besides blaming everything on Biden, is lashing out at Canada, other allies, imaginary “vandals,” you know the drill. The other day, you’ll recall, he decided to piss away 70 years of a solid and critical alliance with South Korea because (1) he has a man crush on North Korea’s murderous dictator Kim Jong Un and (2) the South Korean president hurt his fee-fees for not going along with his Iran nonsense. Trump subsequently bragged about how he and Kim have been chopping it up on the blower and are scheduling a meet cute.

Well, not so fast as it turns out. The Daily Beast today, citing reporting in the Financial Times, quotes the murderous dictator’s sister and top advisor (Hey look! North Korea’s government works just like ours with the nepo advisors! Cool!) Kim Yo Jong saying Trump’s assertion that he’s talking to her brother is bullshit. HAHAHAHAHAHA She added that Trump’s decision to cut down the military exercises with South Korea is “not even worth commenting on.” The humiliation is so profound, it burns.

And on the ground this afternoon in Washington DC today, finally, after waiting all day, it’s time for the big Melania event to announce her bullshit non-program “Fostering the Future,” which literally zero sentient people on planet earth give a shit about. But boy, do we want to know where Natalie Harp will stand at the event!! Let’s goooooo!!!!

Alas, to the disappointment of every member of the Washington press corps - and of course all of us!!! - Natalie was, for the first time in memory, nowhere to be seen. Hmmmm… Perhaps, considering her history of forcing herself everywhere, she may be tied up somewhere with a gag in her mouth? Just saying.

After Trump stays on the down-low for the day (his official public schedule shows, once again, lots of attending “policy meetings” - insert eye roll permanently into back of head - which surely means he’s doing really important presidenting like watching TV and scheming about how he can use the full force of the US government to f*ck over his political foes) cameras catch him, looking even more pissed off than usual, cutting off Melania as he squeezes through the door out of the White House to get ahead of her (such lovebirds, these two!) and then grabbing her hand in a death grip to put on a show as if they don’t absolutely detest each other. Melanie goes straight to the podium as Trump waddles to the first row in the rose-less Rose Garden.

Melania begins her remarks with: “Good afternoon. I heard you missed me. Here I am.” Ooooohhhhh. The fake wife is trying to be edgy. F her. It doesn’t work. She drones on about her bullshit non-program “Fostering the Future” and how it “elevates America's youth based on merit and talent.”

Forgive us for not even trying to pretend to give a rat’s ass about what this vile bitch – who wore a jacket that read “I really don’t care, do you?” to visit a fetid migrant detention center full of children in Trump 1.0 – has to say about the youth. Until she agrees to step up to the mic and say “Moose and Squirrel must die” (come on, admit it: that shit would be hilarious) I’m out. Trump was too. He oozed out after the event without taking any questions.

Extra Credit:

Because things under this pathetic regime can always get even more nauseating, it turns out the now sadly corrupted leadership of the US Navy is planning, CNN reports, to strip a planned honor from a black sailor who has been hailed from his heroic actions during the attack on Pearl Harbor because he’s, you know, black. Duh.

The honor for the dude named Doris Miller was announced by the Navy during Trump 1.0 while the aircraft carrier was under construction. Sources tell CNN that there have been “internal discussions” about instead naming the ship to honor Trump. No way, right? The story notes that it would be an “unprecedented move” to name an aircraft carrier after a sitting president. What else is new? This is so, so, so tiresome.

In the midst of war, Trump talks marble, flagpoles, and grass

ROBIN SNYDER'S NOTES ON WTF? — Thu, 20 Aug 2026 05:54:18 GMT

Wednesday August 19, 2026

Humiliatingly flailing for an off ramp and with geopolitical flop sweat pouring off him since he can’t find a way out or anyone else to blame, Trump is once again shifting gears on his idiotic war of choice in Iran. After repeated threats to bomb them back to the stone age and end their civilization didn’t work, he’s now trotting out economic sanctions, a variation of which have been in place against Iran for decades but whatevs – surely they’ve never been so strong, or so powerful, or had big strong men talking about them with tears in their eyes before.

Actually, Trump’s really are unprecedented (just ask him) because, as he writes tonight on his dumb personal social media site where apparently Natalie Harp thumbs out global policy: “Today, I am announcing the MOST CRUSHING ECONOMIC OPERATION EVER TAKEN AGAINST ANY COUNTRY! This will be Economic Warfare and Isolation on an unprecedented scale.” Yup, got it Skipper. Seriously, does this clown say his dump was the greatest one ever every damn time he takes a shit? It is so freaking tedious. Anyway, he continues: “This will be an ECONOMIC D-DAY, and we need all of our Allies to stand with the United States of America to isolate, and defeat, the Iran threat. These maniacs are on the ropes, and these HISTORIC MEASURES will cripple them and their ability to project terror worldwide.” Oy vey – and also, do we even have any allies anymore???

Gramps is obviously big mad because the Iranian mullahs are just as freaking nuts as he is, similarly caring only about their own power and not giving a rat’s ass about the welfare of their citizens. We’ll see how this latest gambit goes. Let’s give it about 2 weeks, what do you think?

Maybe he can discuss Iranian strategy with his human adhesive Natalie, especially now that she has a security clearance. MS NOW reports tonight that Trump recently told Harp to submit her forms and get a clearance after White House lawyers and security officials raised hell since she’d been working there for more than a year without a clearance. Officials told MS NOW that “Harp declined multiple times to seek a routine security clearance normally obtained by West Wing staffers.” She is really special huh?

To get his mind off his Middle East failures, Trump began the day by inviting reporters to come check out his new helipad. No, really. There was so much crazy it’s hard to know where to start: Ranting like a whack job about the stone he installed on the path to the helipad, he claims “It’s got a million-year life. It will never break. It will never leak. (Hmmm, that rings a bell…isn’t that what they said about the surface of the nonReflecting Pool?) It’s graded a million year plus, that means it’s got a million-year life, can you imagine that?” Well actually, no. No, we can’t because it is absolutely moronic.

Waddling around like the hospitality manager at the Des Moines Marriott, he declares himself “very good at flagpoles,” (you can’t make this shit up) brags on the topsoil noting that “if you’re grass, you’re very happy,” (I can feel my brain cells dying typing this), and gives a plug to Scotts Miracle-Gro, which he notes also contributed to his campaign. What the hell, why not mix in a little emoluments clause violation as long as you’re at it, right?

Once again calling his abomination that will cover the gaping hole he created by illegally demolishing the East Wing the “ballroom and military complex,” he repeats the lie that after he knocked down the East Wing and started the ballroom “the military came to me and said ‘sir’ we have an opportunity to do something incredible here and we’ve been trying to do it for a 100 years.” For sure, because I remember reading in American history how the Army was lobbying to get that drone port built at the White House back in 1926. LOLOLOL It’s all so stupid.

Later, after keeping assorted tech a-holes cooling their heels standing around with cameras on them for over half an hour, Trump strolls in to talk about how important it is to ensure “that America remains the undisputed leader not only in Bitcoin and crypto, but also technologies like prediction markets, and artificial intelligence,” surely just coincidentally all the industries he and his crime family and dipping their beaks into.

He notes that “One year ago this summer, I signed landmark legislation known as The Genius Act. I named it after myself. I didn’t want to use my name so I just called it the Genius Act.” Oh gag me. All the middle-aged rich white guys laugh and laugh.

He lets a couple of them step up to the mic so they can shine him on. While they’re blabbing for a minute or so, he can barely keep his eyes open and he looks like he’s sleeping standing up like a horse. Paging Natalie!!! Your man needs a chair STAT.

When it’s time to take questions from reporters, he repeats the lunacy about the need to cut back on military exercise with South Korea, which has been a close ally for more than 70 years because, according to Trump, the exercises might hurt the fee-fees of his pal Kim Jong Un.

"I felt that to do a massive war exercise...I thought that was very insulting to somebody that, frankly, has been, during my term at least, very well behaved," Trump said. He, once again, preposterously bragged about his “relationship” with the murderous dictator: “I do have a good relationship with Kim Jong Un, as you know, you've seen. He didn't like Biden. He didn't like Obama. He didn't like anybody, but he likes me and I like—I just get along with him.” This is absolute madness!!! Is there truly not a single Republican member of the Senate who will call this out FFS??? Okay, sadly, that’s a rhetorical question at this point.

He rails about interest rates, saying "I almost like to hear bad numbers. I'm saying, 'I hope we had bad numbers so the interest rates will go down.'" Wheeee!!!!

“They should drop interest rates because it means we have a strong country and it's all based on credit, meaning good credit, and we have the best credit and we'd pay off the debt very easily, very quickly.” Huh. Guy who bankrupted 5 casinos lecturing about credit really just sums up this freak show we’re living through doesn’t it? "When our country is strong, interest rates should go down. When our country is weak, frankly they should go up,” Trump says. WTAF?? At this point, the rich guys look like they don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Join the club.

Meanwhile, the vile Melania, who has not been seen publicly for about a month now (toooootally normal for a “First Lady”) is, the Daily Beast reports, expected to leave her coven and appear with her loathsome fake husband tomorrow for an event in the now-rose-less Rose Garden. They are hosting an event, the publication explains, to launch a “groundbreaking alliance” (are there any other kind with this crew?) with Mel’s (do her closest friends call her Mel? Yeah, I bet not) “Fostering the Future” initiative, which I’m sure is a real banger, probably right up there with “Be Best.” The fact that every reporter in DC will be checking out the placement of Mel and Natalie Harp at the event is awesome.

Extra Credit:

Just when you thought you’d seen it all - what with Jesse Freaking Watters telling Republicans they were full of shit for their faux outrage over Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff’s name-dropping of Trump’s traveling tramp Natalie Harp – he was at it again! Today on his show, “The Five,” Watters was talking about how Ossoff is “great with voters” and how when someone emails or calls he gets right back to them “and that goes a long way.” This is so bananas that it’s either some galaxy brained MAGA psyops action, or proof that even a demented squirrel finds a nut every once in a while. Stay tuned.

Ossoff is playing the MAGAs like a, uh, harp

ROBIN SNYDER'S NOTES ON WTF? — Wed, 19 Aug 2026 05:13:06 GMT

Tuesday August 18, 2026

Quick one tonight:

It is kind of hilarious – but also totally predictable given their over-the-top paranoia, insecurity and brittleness – that the entire regime has taken to its collective fainting couch to bitch and moan that a Democratic elected official had the temerity to mention the “president’s” constant companion, human adhesive Natalie Harp, and that a reporter had the nerve to ask about it. Snowflakes.

A prime example of the performative overwrought outrage comes from the ridiculous professional liar Scott Jennings, who whined that "Jon Ossoff unleashed a comment so vile against a young Republican woman that every woman in America, no matter your ideology, ought to listen carefully and never forget it.” LOLOLOL They don’t even try to pretend they are remotely credible anymore. It is absolutely jaw-dropping that the same clowns who dismissed “grab them by the pussy” and “Piggy” and the incessant insults, put-downs, and innuendoes - not to mention the serial sexual harassment (!) and the never-ending skeevy behavior - are actually faking they give a shit about this and wanting us to buy it.

For the record, remember this was Ossoff’s quote: “Trump wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie.” He wasn’t saying Trump was schtupping her FFS, just pointing out what everyone with eyes can see: she’s on his fat ass like white on rice.

It was all so overwrought that it was too much for -- **checks notes** -- Jesse Watters!! Jesus, take the wheel, it’s a world gone mad!!! Today on “The Five” Watters shook his head and said “Am I fazed by this comment? No. Has Trump said so much worse, so much more sleazy things against other people? Yes. Have I defended those things? Absolutely. So, I'm not going to pretend I'm all hot and bothered about this.” Couple of things: (1) Damn, if anything proves that old maxim about even a broken clock being right twice a day, there it is. (2) Old Jesse is gonna get chewed.

It’s no wonder the MAGAs are apoplectic that the kind-of-fake-married-to-a-women-who-obviously-loathes-him 80-year-old Trump’s relationship with a crazy cultish 35-year-old is once again a topic of derision. Both the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times had front page stories on Harp today. Then, tonight – for the best freaking one yet – CNN drops a description of an episode “which has not previously been reported” in which a couple of years ago in a New York, Harp got into a “screaming match” with some other Trump staffers when – with Gramp’s motorcade ready to pull away - it appeared she was being left behind. After they told her there was no room in the car, this crazy bitch jumped into the trunk of an SUV so she could be close to her hero. OMG, that is awesome, and get your popcorn ready because you know more and more loony stories like this are bound to come out.

Besides stewing over his little sidekick being in the spotlight, Trump, once again with a packed schedule of “attends policy meeting” (LOLOLOL) and zero public appearances - perhaps so he can take a day off of messing with the dead ferret on top of his head, who knows - announced he’s throwing in the towel on Iran. A day after his son-in-law announced that “positive and active conversations” were going on with Iran (HAHAHAHA as if we needed more evidence that that tool doesn’t know jack shit) Trump, on Lie Social, announced that “There are no talks or conversations going on, or scheduled, with the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Naval Blockade remains in full force and effect. The Hormuz Strait is open and operating. All water mines have been removed or detonated. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP.” It’s something that it’s barely worth pointing out that the entire statement is filled with verifiable lies, huh?

This bullshit came right after he posted a photo of his former mascot Lindsey Graham wearing a “Make Iran Great Again” hat along with the touching caption “Lindsey having fun just a few weeks ago! Check out the hat! President DJT.” That Lindsey, what a card.

Finally, some fun numbers from today. A new Reuters/Ipsos poll shows Trump with a worst-ever 33% approval rating, meaning, as all the wise guys were pointing out today, that Trump’s number of felony convictions is higher than his approval number. Who says math isn’t fun?

And in Pennsylvania tonight, according to VoteHub, Democrat Bradon Dukes defeated Republican Scott Timko in the State House District 12 Special Election. As Jesse Lehrich points out, “this would be the Democrats 31st legislative seat FLIPPED in 2025-2026 special elections. (Rs have 0 flips.) Democrats are overperforming Kamala's margins by ~13 points across 110 races.” Not too shabby. No wonder the regime is so determined to cheat.

You have to think that, like the most sinister Bond villains, the ghouls in this regime must actually sit around and brainstorm about what is the most evil shit they can do is. Seriously, how else to consider how they came up with today’s plan to f*ck with animals in national forests??? You read that right.

Trashing protections that have been in place for more than a quarter of a century, the US Forest Service today proposed the repeal of the so-called “roadless rule,” which, as the New York Times reports, would open some 45 million acres of pristine wilderness to road construction and logging. (That sound you hear is Yogi and Boo-Boo – ask your parents kids – having a joint cardiac event.) Sane people, err, critics, quoted in the Times point out that mowing down America’s last wild areas and old growth forests would “endanger the drinking water supplies of tens of millions,” (that sounds bad) imperil wildlife including grizzly bears, wolves, elk and salmon, and speed up climate change since the forest land currently absorbs millions of tons of carbon per year. Damn, there goes Jellystone Park.

Thanks so much for reading and stay safe and healthy everyone!!! Remember we are not the crazy ones!!!

Another press event, another sexist meltdown

ROBIN SNYDER'S NOTES ON WTF? — Tue, 18 Aug 2026 04:10:41 GMT

Monday August 17, 2026

With the non-deal, non-ceasefire with Iran ending today, and Trump having no clue how to extricate the US from his idiotic quagmire there, Trump, like the toddler he is, is lashing out. As we full well know, besides his heroes Putin, Xi, and Kim Jong-Un, anyone is a potential target, and with friends like Trump, no one needs enemies that’s for sure. This morning’s target was longtime US ally Oman, which has been attempting to serve as a mediator between the US and Iran and is, justifiably, looking out for itself and figuring out how to coexist with Iran once Trump, inevitably, turns tail and leaves the Middle East to deal with the mess he made.

In a call this morning with one of his Fox toadies, Trey Yingst, the New York Times reports, Trump thundered that “if Oman gets in the way” of his harebrained nonplan for the Strait, “we’ll bomb the shit out of them.” Good Lord. You gotta keep asking yourself: how on earth did we get to the point where the “president” of the United States talks like this? JFC what a nightmare. He also said of the war/skirmish/little excursion that was supposed to be wrapped up in 4 weeks and has now stretched to a half a year that he was “not in a hurry” to make a deal with Iran.

Later, Trump, with bags under his eyes the size of Samsonites - for his only public appearance of the day – meets with reporters in the Oval Office. He’s got 16-year-old Ryder Williams - a California lifeguard who dramatically saved a child in Santa Cruz last month - in the hostage chair. It goes sideways fast as Trump congratulates the mom of the good looking blond white kid for “good genetics.” (Oy vey.) You have to wonder whether he would have been saying that if the hero lifeguard had been a black or brown kid but, of course, if that had been the case he or she wouldn’t have been invited to the White House in the first place. I mean, duh.

The appearance was a total train wreck. It takes him about 5 minutes to start pissing and moaning about his White House ruinification project, lying that “the whole place was a mess” when he came back and that “they” (presumably the voices in his head) “have been trying to build a ballroom for 150 years.” He says the ballroom will “protect all of DC.” Huh? First, it was the White House grounds, now the whole city? Soon this thing is going to be like an iron shield for the entire east coast.

The ballroom, you’ll recall, was also on Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff’s mind this weekend when, criticizing the president for screwing up Iran and everything else, he said Trump “would rather build his ballroom and travel with Natalie Harp” than “do his job as president.” Gosh, I’m swooning here just remembering it.

CNN reporter Kristen Holmes – who was busy today – asked Trump what he thought of Ossoff’s comments. Trump replied, “You mean Pee Wee Herman?” Damn, that’s all he’s got??? He avoids the Harp reference and starts prattling on about how he had to fix the White House because it was “disgraceful.”

There was a lot of disgraceful to go around today. Let’s see. Trump doubled down on his shameful decision to cut back on joint military exercises with South Korea since its president, Lee Jae Myung, hurt his fee-fees. He says, preposterously, that shitting on South Korea and cutting back military exercises with them is actually making the area “much safer” because “Kim Jong-Un has always treated me with such respect.” No, it’s not you – this doesn’t make a lick of sense.

On that inconvenient war in the Middle East, Trump lies for the millionth time that Iran “wants to make a deal, but they’re not going to make the kind of deal that I think is necessary.” (Later, Trump’s son-in-law - and wouldn’t it be nice to have a real diplomatic corps like a grown-up country??? – tells Fox that Iran “is engaging in a very strong way and that is quite positive but we are not there yet” and the “president doesn’t want to rush to a deal.” HAHAHAHAHAHAHA)

Then there was the matter of the USS Lincoln, where, as been reported for weeks now, sailors are in crisis because of the absurdly long deployment and the wretched conditions onboard. When asked if there is enough food on the ship, Trump pulls out his go-to: “Yeah. That was a CNN fake report.” (He’s such a little babyman. Every election he loses is rigged; every critical story is fake.)

On cue, he pulls a fake “sir” story out of his ass, recounting a fake conversation he had over the weekend with some dude who just so happened to be a retired admiral. LOLOL The guy allegedly told Trump: “I’ve been on ships that are out there much longer than that, sir. (Sir!!!! He forgot the tears in his eyes though.) And I know people on the Lincoln, they say it’s beautifully maintained and beautifully taken care of.’ And other people went out and they found out that to be true.” Wheeeee!!!!!

So there was all that lunacy but the cherry on the shit sandwich was yet another sexist meltdown at a female reporter, in this case CNN’s Kristen Holmes. She asked him about the Ossoff quote, about North Korea, and about the Lincoln. Inevitably, when she was trying to do a follow-up, he blew.

“Be quiet! Be quiet! Be quiet! You’re a fake reporter and you report fake news.”

Holmes tries to persist and he snaps “Quiet, quiet! You’re very disrespectful in front of this young man.” He turns to the blond kid with the good genetics and says “Don’t you find her disrespectful?” (the kid looks like he’s about to hurl) then continues ranting at Holmes: “You’re a loud boisterous person. You’re fake news. Be quiet. Be quiet. You’re a fake reporter and you report fake news.” It’s so nauseating.

CNN tonight issued a statement calling Holmes “one of the most respected and accomplished journalists covering the White House” who did her job by asking Trump a “tough, relevant and newsworthy question,” adding that “Public officials are free to challenge reporting they disagree with, but personal attacks on journalists for asking questions are beneath the office and inconsistent with the principles of a free press. We stand firmly behind Kristen and reject these attacks in the strongest possible terms."

And there it is: a strongly worded statement! That should do the trick!!! The reporters need to all walk out when he pulls this shit or it’s never going to stop.

Extra Credit:

The White House is really, really chapped about the Natalie Harp chatter and their flop sweat is showing.

Repellent knuckle-dragging White House Communications Director Steven Cheung was up and at ‘em first thing this morning, posting: “Jon Jackoff has to be the biggest cuck loser in politics. Instead of denigrating hard working people serving their country, Jon should look deep into his soul and ask himself why he's a miserable person who hates this country. It's because he's a radical, extremist Dumocrat.” Steven Cheung doesn’t seem like a jolly guy does he?

Another White House spokesliar, Davis Ingle, piled on with this: “Jon Ossoff is a cringeworthy, feminine theatre kid cosplaying as Barack Obama. Nobody gives a shit what this lightweight loser says.” Damn! Can you imagine how they would react if it was about something they actually gave a shit about???!!!

As always, it got more horrific.

The official White House rapid response account, Rapid Response 47, posted that Kristen Holmes “is a disgraceful, humiliating embarrassment to her alleged profession. The president hosts a hero lifeguard in the Oval Office and she uses it as an opportunity to take a cheap shot about one of President Trump's staffers. These scumbags are the lowest of the low.” Seems like they’ve hit a nerve huh? Let’s get someone to ask Trump whether Natalie Harp is involved in the Epstein files cover-up and his orange head my spontaneously combust.

Just in case that wasn’t venal enough, Rapid Response 47 piled on in a post to Holmes: “Someday, your children will come across your disgusting and inhumane question. They will be sickened and embarrassed to have a parent be so callous and vindictive. It’s quite troubling.” This is really sick stuff. It may warrant another strongly worded letter.

George Washington takes over Lie Social

ROBIN SNYDER'S NOTES ON WTF? — Mon, 17 Aug 2026 03:50:09 GMT

Sunday August 16, 2026

It’s a weekend so we’re back to that absolutely insane decision we truly never, ever wanted to be faced with: choosing which was the most deranged thing the “president” of the United States – in his spare moments away from the golf course while the world is at war and the economy is going to shit - posted for the whole world to see. Since we live in the dumbest timeline ever, here we are again: marveling over the vomitous social media output of the lunatic-in-chief.

The term for when Alzheimer’s or dementia patients, tragically, become especially confused or restless during the evening is sundowning. What the in the hell should we call Gramps’s freefall off the reality cliff that now pretty much occurs on the regular every weekend? Clowndowning??

Among this weekend’s clowndowning lowlights are a video of Trump escorting an AI George Washington around the hideous ballroom, with the caption – I shit you not – “Thank you, George, for some of your brilliant ideas on this great Military Complex/Ballroom!” OMG. I can’t even. Trump’s imaginary friend George (who surely calls him “sir” with tears in his eyes) had a busy weekend. There’s a post with an image of George Washington and Trump sitting side by side and signing documents with quill pens, and another with the two of them riding horses. JFC. You genuinely have to wonder what is more fake – the AI George or the notion that Trump could get his fat ass up on a horse.

He posted all manner of Trump 2028 garbage, and, tediously, bitched about the “transgenders” (drink!) and “DEI.” Dude really wants to go for it and just use the N word and you know and I know it’s only a matter of time.

He railed against the National Trust for Historic Preservation, calling it “treasonous” (wheeeee!!!!) because it wants to stop his “desperately needed National Security Structure,” previously known as the ballroom. The lengthy unhinged post about this never even mentions the word “ballroom.” As the Washington Post notes in a story today, while he used to blather nonstop about how he needed a ballroom to properly entertain VIP guests, he now – voila! - says he wants it because it is “crucial to national security.” This is akin to how he started his idiotic war of choice in Iran to force regime change, and now it’s about getting the Strait open. Huh, you sense a pattern? It’s because no matter the issue, it’s all lies upon lies upon lies.

Besides all the normal AI slop, lies and nonsense, he also made some real news on his weekend Lie Social nuts-a-thon. Of course – given the source – it is of the horrible and tragic variety. Not content to trash NATO, the most successful defensive alliance in modern history, Trump is now throwing our partnerships in Southeast Asia down the crapper, announcing, out of the blue, that “based on his very good relationship with” the murderous North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un, because it is too late to cancel them outright, he is “substantially reducing” the annual joint military exercises with our longtime ally South Korea. This is obscene.

Speaking of obscene, Trump’s incompetent ghoulish son-in-law, the New York Times reports, is in Egypt today, meeting with Hamas officials to decide the fate of Gaza. As with all things Trump, it’s a crap shoot to pick the bigger outrage: (1) that this nepo nincompoop is who the allegedly most powerful country on earth is sending as its top diplomat or (2) that the vile Kushner, who pocketed $2 billion from the Saudis for his Trump connections, err, his unparalleled financial prowess, is like a blinking neon sign conflict of interest. It’s all so vile and stupid and embarrassing, yet, with the inert congress, here we are.

Speaking of moronic and incompetent - the June non-ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran is set to expire tomorrow. Just to bring us up to speed on the state of play: on Friday, Trump repeated his bullshit claim that Iran will be defeated "very soon" and said he wants the Strait of Hormuz to be a US territory. Iran called his claims "delusions." Uh-huh.

And, just when you thought they couldn’t multitask, as the regime is making a total travesty of our foreign policy, they’re also making a mockery of domestic policy. Heinous Attorney General Todd Blanche made the rounds of the morning shows today and, on Meet the Press, refused to pledge that he would act independently of the White House, wouldn’t guarantee that the criminals and thugs who attacked the Capitol on January 6th wouldn’t get paid off, and said the DOJ isn’t going to stop trying to illegally force states to turn over their voter rolls even though courts have already ruled against them 22 times.

Given Blanche’s strutting F you to the rule of law since the second he was voted in, I’d be laying low if I were Bill Cassidy yet, for some reason known only to him and his maker, this pathetic fool continues to go on the Sunday shows to beclown himself. The hideous nature of his tiebreaking vote to confirm the wildly corrupt and criminal Todd Blanche is rivaled only by his similar vote to put roadkill enthusiast RFK Jr in charge of our nation’s health.

Asked today on CNN about Trump’s unhinged announcement - orchestrated by RFK Jr, this week - throwing a grenade into decades of lifesaving childhood vaccination policy, Cassidy said: “If it wasn’t so potentially tragic, you would break out laughing. It is wrong on so many levels.” If only he could have done something about it, huh? I honestly don't know how these people live with themselves.

Extra Credit:

If anyone wants to start an Ossoff ’28 hype train, I’m ready to jump the hell on board. At a rally in Georgia today, Ossoff called out Trump’s unconscionable contempt for our troops, saying that “While the sailors on the Lincoln fight his war, while he fruitlessly drains our munitions and oil reserves, the president sleeps through his meetings. He golfs and trades stocks. So he doesn’t want to do the job. He wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie on their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the Emir of Qatar.”

Besides how awesome it is that he had the balls to go there and call out Trump’s traveling tramp Natalie Harp, it is truly amazing how inspiring it is to hear someone who speaks clearly and simply and doesn’t sound like everything that comes out of his mouth has been focus-grouped and poll tested. Rather than pussyfoot around worrying about how the MAGAs are labeling him – like everyone else to the left of Tommy freaking Tuberville – a radical socialist communist jihadist – Ossoff went for the jugular on his wingnut opponent Mike Collins, calling him “a crumbling little bigot” who surrounds himself at home and at work by neo-Nazis and white nationalists. Ossoff says his campaign is for “everyone who craves sanity.” OMG inject this into my veins!!!

Finally, is creepy Karoline Leavitt - whose need to spend more time with her family seemed to crop up awfully suddenly - dropping a load, so to speak, on him on her way out? The internet is having a field day with a video Leavitt posted of Trump at his Long Island hate rally on Friday night that shows Trump waddling around with God knows what sticking out from his backside. Dude looks like he had a monopoly board or something crosswise over his ass tucked under his giant suit coat. LOLOLOL. Maybe it was going to be game night at Bedminister?

Thanks so much for reading and stay safe and healthy everyone!!!! Remember we are not the crazy ones!!!

Trump has thoughts on the sailors aboard the Lincoln

ROBIN SNYDER'S NOTES ON WTF? — Sat, 15 Aug 2026 14:33:00 GMT

Friday August 14, 2026

On the windy tarmac at Andrews Air Force base - where the pregnant ferret on his head looks like it’s about to go into orbit - on his way to New York, a reporter tells Trump that the families of the troops aboard the USS Lincoln are concerned about the conditions on the ship. Trump sneers and says “no they’re not.” Huh, okay then. The reporter persists and asks if the deployment of the Lincoln - which has seen sailors jump overboard because of the putrid conditions on board due to its obscene record-breaking deployment length – has “gone on too long.” The heinous Trump replies: “No, no, no. Not nearly long enough.” WTAF???

(For some more context, as if it’s needed, the wife of a service member on the ship tells CNN tonight that her husband describes the Lincoln as a “floating metal prison” where morale is bad and everyone feels like they’re starting to go “a little insane.” Damn. Besides the part about being on a floating metal prison in the Persian Gulf that could describe the way half the country feels.)

Trump’s clueless comments are, of course, stunningly callous, even coming from a 5-time draft dodger and heartless asshole who doesn’t give two shits about anyone but himself. They are also utterly predictable because (1) he has no earthly clue what he’s talking about and (2) even if he was up on all the facts, he truly considers military members “suckers” and “losers.” He told us he did FFS. (3) We talk so often about how he is a sociopath and sometimes it sounds flippant but today shows how he embodies the textbook definition: the man is utterly incapable of showing concern or empathy for anyone but himself. I wouldn’t think that’s an ideal quality in a president but what do I know?

About 5 minutes after Trump’s appalling comments, the White House dispatched Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly to Fox where she insisted, absurdly, that “this president cares about the troops more than anybody. Remember Joe Biden shifted the focus away from warfighters and onto woke DEI policies.” Well, damn, thanks for clarifying sister since duh!!!! How in the hell did we miss that the grotesque conditions aboard a carrier in the Persian Gulf that is there totally to support Trump’s idiotic war of choice were all Biden’s fault??? That is some galaxy brain shit right there.

Also on the tarmac on his way to Long Island - where he’ll do a rally claiming credit for the continuation of a years’ long decline in violent crime that has jack shit to do with him, before decamping to his crappy resort in New Jersey for a madcap golf weekend - Trump, asked about the economy as most Americans are struggling to make ends meet, boasts that “The economy is doing unbelievably from the standpoint of Wall Street.” Wheee!!!

But if that message might fall flat with the working man, never fear MAGAs because real man of the people, arrogant prick Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent (HAHAHAHA) kinda, sorta, in a maximally calculated way, told Newsmax that if somehow people perceive the economy as “not great” it’s “because the Biden administration torched them.” Way to take responsibility big fella! “It’s like a patient in an emergency room that’s been backed over by a truck,” Bessent says. “First you have to stabilize the patient and now we’re applying the medicine.” Help!!! Couple of observations: (1) “We should have known it was all Biden’s fault. (2) If it’s RFK Jr-approved medicine in that ER we’re all going to die!!!!

At the political hate rally in Garden City on Long Island, Trump is accompanied by the FBI Director and the Attorney General. You heard that right. I get that every single line has been crossed and not a GD thing is out of bounds any longer, but can we have a moment of silence for the independence of the FBI and the DOJ which literally existed up until 19 months ago? Good times.

The whole thing, not surprisingly, is totally off the chain. Trump says the good crime numbers are “what happens when you have a president in the White House who totally backs the blue,” leaving aside how he despises the blue when MAGA goons are beating the shit out of them. Details, details.

It’s all crazy. Because he’s a petty little bitch who can’t let anything go, he rails on his political foes, absurdly calling New York Jewish Senator Chuck Schumer a “full-fledged Palestinian” and New York AG Letitia James, who successfully pinned his fat ass to the wall, “totally dishonest,” “a dirty cop,” and “a real slob.” Stay classy, Don.

Because his new “strategy” regarding his idiotic war of choice in Iran is just to pull stories out of his ass, he says – I shit you not – that he’ll be declaring the Strait of Hormuz the territory of the United States. This is so insane there are no words. The people arrayed behind him clap like trained seals.

And brace yourself, because Jeffrey Epstein’s former bestie also, while ludicrously bragging about the nonexistent drop in crime in DC, blathered – I shit you not – about protecting young girls. Holy shit!!! Yikes!!!

“These young beautiful girls in the White House, you know, they come in,” Trump said, totally fabricating especially creepy made-up interactions. “These young, these gorgeous, beautiful girls.” (Okay I am getting hives here.) “They want to be safe and they come in (seriously if they want to be safe did they make a wrong turn FFS??)) and say ‘Mr. President can I speak to you? Thank you, sir.’ I say ‘why do you want to thank me?’ and they say ‘A year and a half ago I was afraid to open the door to my apartment and now I walk to the White House and have absolutely no fear. Thank you sir.’”

Well, talk about a classic example of 2 things being true at once. (1) That is the stupidest discourse ever, and of all the things that never happened, that didn’t happen the most. But still: (2) Even though it’s fiction, considering who it’s coming from, you still feel like you need to take a shower after hearing it.

Extra Credit:

Because we know that Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson are sane, and that Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito would vote in favor of Trump if he asked permission to machine gun a barn full of puppies on live television, it’ll be up to Amy Coney Barrett, Brett “I like beer” Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch and John Roberts to decide whether to let Trump plow ahead with his obscene unauthorized ballroom. The vanity project has been tied up in litigation since Trump, without the legally mandated permissions, decided one day to demolish the East Wing, as one does.

The latest court ruling requires construction on the monstrosity to halt next Friday unless the Supreme Court intervenes. The regime today sent the high court an emergency filing, the Washington Post reports, arguing that (1) what the hell, we’ve been illegally building it for so long that it’s 65% done so you may as well let us finish the damn thing and, get a load of this crap: (2) stopping it now would threaten national security and the safety of Trump, his family and staff. No, it’s not you – this doesn’t make any sense. As District Judge Richard Leone – the first of a string of judges to try to put the kibosh on this nonsense – wrote back in March, “While I take seriously the Government’s concerns regarding the safety and security of the White House grounds and the President himself, the existence of a ‘large hole’ beside the White House is, of course, a problem of the President’s own making.” Well said Judge!

To make the whole thing even more sickening, the regime included new renderings of the ballroom/drone port/bunker/whatever the hell it is that showed – barf bag alert! - gold geegaws all over the outside which, as the Post delicately put it “break with the restrained aesthetic of the executive mansion.” Because of course.

The Reflecting Pool is a perfect reflection of the regime's insidious pathology

ROBIN SNYDER'S NOTES ON WTF? — Fri, 14 Aug 2026 04:29:40 GMT

Thursday August 13, 2026

Like pretty much everything else his regime concocts, Trump’s insidious and Orwellian anti-weaponization fund is an absolute travesty but, damn, the Democrats might want to fire up a legit one when they get back into power. And let’s just stipulate right now that at least a couple of million from that hypothetical fund should immediately go to David Hearn, the former Olympian who innocently dipped his pinky into the (non)Reflecting Pool and has since become a targeted enemy of the state. Weeks after Judge Box Wine dropped the totally bullshit case against him, admitting to a judge that the damage to the cee-ment pond, as every sentient person already knew, was due to a botched renovation, not vandalism, the White House of the alleged most powerful person in the world - who is, in reality, the most insecure needy human being on earth - has, the Wall Street Journal reports today in an exclusive, instructed the Justice Department to look into a new prosecution of Hearn. This is sheer malign madness.

As quoted in the Journal, Norm Eisen, Hearn’s co-counsel, says a new prosecution “would mark a shocking first: Bringing back from the dead a case that the DOJ lost by its own admission that it lacked the evidence to convict.” Well, we, tragically, have a lot of hideous firsts with these creeps. The next move here is up to newly sworn in AG Todd Blanche and, sadly, we know where this is going.

And we have yet another example today of how the idiocy never ends with these clowns, it just gets put on autopilot. Trump’s hand-picked totally corrupt Kennedy Center board today voted to put the dear leader’s name back on a memorial to a dead guy. Always staying classy, right? After a federal judge, in May, ordered Trump’s name off the Kennedy Center, today’s board action, the Washington Post reports, would place an inscription below the building’s sign reading (in a larger font, no doubt) “Restored and Renovated by President Donald J. Trump,” because apparently someone desperately needs a participation trophy.

The move will almost assuredly send the issue back to court. Meanwhile, so Trump’s fee-fees aren’t hurt, a large unsightly tarp is still hung over the name of the - at least currently - Trump-less center. My goodness, even after all these years, it is still absolutely breathtaking what a pathetic little bitch this asshole is.

Meanwhile, remember when all the “don’t tread on me” types were up in arms about government intrusion into their lives – you know, for really terrible and meddlesome things like, say, having to provide their email address to buy a high powered assault weapon? Good times.

Now they’re all in on the feds acting, for all intents and purposes, like the old East German secret police. In a pants-pissingly chilling piece today, the New York Times reports that, in the wake of the ICE murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, DHS goons launched “investigations” into labor unions, environmental action groups, and seemingly any group that didn’t sound pro-MAGA, to try to pin bogus charges on them for helping who the regime called the “violent agitators” on the street. Holy shit!!!

The US modern-day Stasi agents obtained personal financial records, conducted covert surveillance, spied on meetings, and infiltrated group chats – all of people who had never even been accused of any crimes!!!! Whoa!!!! This, the Times delicately notes, is “crossing the line that has traditionally stood between investigating criminal activity and political dissent.” Crossing the line??? To put a finer point on it: It is a f*cking outrage and an indelible stain on our country. At this point it is, tragically, impossible to count the number of lines that have been crossed.

Finally, while it takes extraordinary measures to shame Trump and his confederacy of supplicant idiots (Charlie Sykes often points out that “shamelessness is their superpower”) the Military Times, writing earlier this week about how the fetid and inhumane conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln were causing sailors to literally jump overboard, appears to have pulled it off. The Wall Street Journal reports today that the Navy is – finally - preparing to send another ship, the aircraft carrier USS George Washington, to the Gulf to replace the Lincoln.

To say it’s about time is a gross understatement. As the Journal story notes, in a letter to wildly incompetent drunk former Fox weekend host Pete Hegseth, Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal pointed out that “the Lincoln has been deployed for more than 250 days and it hasn’t made a port call in 200 days, setting a record for consecutive days at sea.”

The regime, which makes a big faux show of “supporting the troops,” obviously didn’t give a shit about the sailors who were running out of soap, toothpaste and food, as MS NOW reported, while dealing with “water contamination, plumbing issue and deteriorating metal health,” until the Military Times rubbed it in their face. A regime official told the Journal that “the carrier rotation was planned before concerns were raised about the living conditions.” Yeah, sure.

Extra Credit:

Since the default assumption these days is that anything that comes out of the “president’s” piehole is utter bullshit, that quaint old practice of fact checking has pretty much bitten the dust. Some of his vomitous nonsense, though, is so stupid and so dangerous that documented refutation is especially welcome.

Case in point is Dr. Trump the other day, in a statement right up there with his famous prescription suggesting people inject bleach up their ass to fight COVID, insisting that childhood vaccines needed to be cut back because kids were getting vaccines “the size of a soda bottle” injected into them. So good on The Bulwark’s Jonathan Cohn for, apparently unlike any of the legions of White House staffers assisting the dear leader, actually measuring the volume of liquid (LOLOLOL as if!!!) that is going into kids. Turns out it amounts to “half a teaspoon at the most,” which, as Cohn points out, “is not even in the same universe” as the “size of a soda bottle” that Trump claimed, because of course it wasn’t.

You have to wonder what Dr/Senator Bill Cassidy thought about that soda bottle insanity, right? Well, just when you thought that Cassidy couldn’t humiliate himself any more than he already has, the pitiful sad sack, who beclowned whatever integrity he had left by casting the deciding votes for RFK Jr and Todd Blanche, refused to admit today that he had second thoughts about his vote for Kennedy.

This is really something since the pathetic Cassidy has spent the last few days handwringing over Trump’s executive order – which came about through RFK Jr’s efforts – to limit childhood vaccines, posting videos pleading with parents “as a doctor” to have their kids vaccinated no matter what the "president" and the HHS Secretary say. You know and I know that this ball-less POS forfeited pulling that “as a doctor” card when he voted for the roadkill enthusiast but maybe that’s just us.

When asked on CNBC this morning whether he regretted his vote for Kennedy, Cassidy preposterously replied: “If you want to tell me that somebody didn't tell me the truth, and I should've seen in the future they were not gonna tell the truth, you can say, 'Bill you should've seen into the future.’” Are you freaking kidding me with this shit???? Everyone on earth who ever, say, read a newspaper, knew full well that RFK Jr was a science-denying anti-vaxx batshit crazy whack job. You didn’t need to be a clairvoyant to figure it out FFS!!! I can hardly wait what his future excuse will be about Blanche.

Far be it from me to dole out advice but here’s a free tidbit for soon-to-be-ex Senator Cassidy: Do yourself a favor and STFU.

The Iran lies are jumping the shark

ROBIN SNYDER'S NOTES ON WTF? — Thu, 13 Aug 2026 05:14:44 GMT

Wednesday August 12, 2026

Being an American under the Trump regime is truly like living in a dystopian novel. Literally ever day brings new horrors. Today, for example, we find out that the Department of Homeland Security plans to spend $20 mil, the New York Times reports, to outfit ICE goons with gloves that can deliver electric shocks. The Times explains that the gloves “use pain to induce compliance.” Seriously, how do they even come up with this shit?

Great that these masked agents of the state are getting more methods of torture, huh? The news drops just as another sickening video is circulating today of a masked ICE goon pointing a gun at a head of a woman driver in Virginia – a US born citizen as it happens, ABC News reports – after she yelled at them. The agent, accompanied by 3 other fellow goons, immediately jumped to one of their go-to lies and repeatedly accused her of trying to run him over and threatening to arrest her over it. He backed down after she told him she was videotaping the whole thing on her cell phone and her dashboard camera, both of which clearly showed her car hadn’t moved a millimeter toward the agents. No way, right?

Beyond the gratuitous cruelty, the casual racism, the open corruption, and the glaring disdain for the rule of law, the insane lying was also over the top today, even for them.

Desperately wanting to get the hell out of his idiotic war in Iran, Trump, you’ll recall, told advisors, the Wall Street Journal reported earlier this week, that he would essentially give Iran whatever the hell he wanted if they just opened the Strait and let him declare victory. Turns out Iran loves torturing his dumb ass and knows they don’t have to agree to jack shit because they have all the cards. Damn that must really frost Trump’s ass.

So today he thumbed this whopper out on Lie Social: “The U.S.A. has total control over the Strait of Hormuz. I THINK WE WILL KEEP IT! Our Naval Blockade is being called, by everyone, ‘A WALL OF STEEL,’ and there is nothing Iran can do about it. They have no Navy, they have no Air Force, their remaining soldiers are unpaid, the IRGC is decimated and fleeing, and their ‘Leadership’ is uncertain, at best! They have No Money - Their country is ‘shot.’ All they have is FAKE NEWS and 300% INFLATION, and getting worse! Iran is all talk and no action, the Bully of the Middle East No Longer. Praise be to Allah! President DONALD J. TRUMP” Wheeee!!!!

Are you f*cking kidding me with this lunacy???? Where in the hell to start what the best – and of course by that we always mean worst – part of this is. (1) Well it’s almost like this is a given, but to get it on the record, every syllable is a lie. Duh. (2) I think the people who called our Naval Blockade ‘A WALL OF STEEL’ may have been the same imaginary friends who are always coming up to him with tears in his eyes and calling him “sir”. (3) The “president” of the United States using a sacred religious phrase as a taunt is, uh, really something.

Anyway, regardless of Trump’s lies (that the wingnut media echosystem of lying liars will amplify to the cultists) the reality in the Strait, as the Wall Street Journal puts it, “tells a different story: Ship-tracking data shows that just 14 vessels on Tuesday crossed a waterway that routinely handled more than 130 a day before the war. Eleven of those ships took the route administered by Iran.” Oy vey.

Besides hanging out with Natalie Sharp and coming up with idiocies like that to post on his phone, Trump was keeping it on the down-low today. Perusing the always hilarious “President’s Daily Schedule,” participating in “executive time” (watching Fox), “signing time” (playing with his Sharpie), and “policy meeting” (pissing and moaning at his advisors combined with them telling him whatever they think he wants to hear) filled the day. Damn, you’re exhausted just reading it, right?

Extra Credit:

The White House needs a new spokesliar! The insufferable nails-on-a-chalkboard-in-a-skin-suit Karoline Leavitt is leaving to spend more time with her kids. Leavitt just had her second child and it turns out having to take care of a baby and a toddler at home and another toddler at work was just too much. Or maybe she was using the kids as an excuse for being pissed that Trump left her on that decoy plane LOL.

Trump announced the news on his dumb personal social media site, praising her “phenomenal job fighting for Justice, Liberty, and Freedom” (Karoline Leavitt?? WTF??) and calling her, inevitably, “one of the best White House Press Secretaries in the History of the Office.” He says she’ll now be one of his top outside advisors. Good grief.

He could have used some of her always shrieking defense in response to a Washington Post exclusive today about how all of the ways that Trump is destroying and wrecking the White House are, according to confidential records the Post got a hold of, going to cost close to a billion dollars. Damn, son. Oh, and for the cherry on the shit sandwich, after more than a year of him blathering that it was all going to be covered by private donations, taxpayers will be on the hook for most of the $900 mil. The Post describes how, since the law – yeah, I know, quaint notion – states that Congress has to approve major changes to the White House and appropriate money for them, the regime has instead funneled money from various federal agencies into “a little-known account that typically holds a few million dollars for routine maintenance of the executive mansion.” This evil bastard really thinks it’s his house to tart up as much as he wants. It’s appalling.

Speaking of his ridiculous, totally unnecessary and mostly illegal White House ruinification projects the other day, the soon-to-be-departed Leavitt, you’ll recall, said that the ballroom, now known as a military installation and a drone port, is “really his number one priority,” but noted that “he’s a builder so his heart and his mind are always churning about how to improve things.” Couple of thoughts: (1) Apparently, if people who have the misfortune to be close to him have observed, there really is something always churning in there but it sounds like its south of the heart and the mind, and (2) No wonder he’s going to miss this loon. She’s as nuts as he is.

Thanks so much for reading and stay safe and healthy everyone!!! Remember we are not the crazy ones!!!

Trump lies about Cart Force One because of course he does

ROBIN SNYDER'S NOTES ON WTF? — Wed, 12 Aug 2026 06:18:44 GMT

Tuesday August 11, 2026

Trump is taking some over his, ahem, little excursion on – as the wags on the internet are labeling it – Catering Cart Force One. Everything is such a cluster with these clowns. You just have to love the MAGAs thinking this gutless bastard, who was willing to let journalists and his staff – including, deliciously, as the New York Times reports, arrogant prick Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, sniveling Marco Rubio, 2-ton creepoid Steven Cheung and Santa Monica Goebbels Stephen Miller (HAHAHAHA – that sucks, huh fellas?) - serve as decoys for an Iranian attack while he cowardly oozed onto another plane, is a GI Joe-level tough guy. As Andrew Weissman points out, this is the same group that called Joe Biden – who rode a train 10 hours into an active war zone to see President Zelensky – weak. Up is down. Down is up.

I guess needless to say but here we are anyway, Trump is lying about it. Tonight, on the tarmac as he returned from Ohio, he repeated the fiction that the Qatar hand-me-down bribe plane was flown to England because the troops wanted to see it. Oh dear God, STFU. He says “he just does what the Secret Service says to do” (well that’s convenient in this case) and, when asked why AF1 was too dangerous for him but not too dangerous for the press and his staff, he says “I think the plane I was on was at greater risk because that’s the one they would go for.” HAHAHAHAHA so the Secret Service wanted him at more risk??? For the love of God, nothing he says even remotely makes sense!!!

For example: he also said that“the country is doing well, prices are dropping fast, Iran is going absolutely fine, we control the Strait of Hormuz, and things are going great for our country.” Seriously, what in the actual f*ck is he talking about??? Not a single syllable of that is true. As former Republican Congressman Joe Walsh keeps pointing out, “he lies as he breathes.” How is it, in any, you know, American version of the presidency for it to be okay that the head of the executive branch just vomits out utter nonsense and we just keep moving along??? Our system is simply not set up to deal with this kind of sociopath. It’s kind of problematic.

While the lunacy runs amok unabated, like all good authoritarians (and of course in this context good = stupendously horrible), Trump continues to say what he’s going to do before he does it. These lunatics are truly not shy about broadcasting their intentions (uh, Mein Kampf anyone?) As if it were needed, Trump has signaled yet again that he’s pretty damn averse to having Democrats take Congress in November, which is precisely what would happen if the election was fair.

As CNN reports today, speaking last night to total freak and whack job conspiracy theorist Wayne Allyn Root of Real America’s Voice, Trump hinted that, far from monkeying with the voting or having his little mascot MAGA Mike Johnson refuse to seat Democratic winners, he may just put the kibosh on the damn thing altogether. Well, there’s more than one way to skin a cat I guess. After Root preposterously suggested that if the Senate doesn’t pass the voter suppression SAVE Act, Trump would have a right “to declare a national security emergency for elections,” Trump sneered “Let me just say that stranger things have happened, OK? I’ll leave it at that.” If you haven’t begun yet, the time to commence pants-shitting is now.

In other election news, if you needed any more convincing (I know you don’t but play along) that all the GOP hand-wringing and smelling salts-sniffing over Graham Platner’s awful behavior was performative bullshit, consider they are all in on (alleged) woman beater, child abuser and stuffed bunny hostage taker Max Miller. The political team of none other than the woman-hater-in-chief, Politico reports, instructed Ohio Republicans last week to lay off Miller and not try to force him to drop out. (The deadline for the party to be able to replace him with another creep has now passed.

Speaking of telegraphing intentions, the MAGAs, with Elon’s gazillions backing them up to run negative ads up the wazoo, are going to try to override concerns about Miller’s horror shows, and the abysmal economy, and Trump’s horrendous war of choice, and, say when, with their normal bullshit.

On his crazed stupid personal social media site today, Trump bleated that the “Dumocrat Party wants your kids to be able to chop off their reproductive organs before they are old enough to vote.” Here we go!!!! Drink!

Nutjob White House Spokesliar Karoline Leavitt (and no lie here, that gal gives me the creeps like she’s possessed or some shit) in her appearance on Fox today, what with a war in the Middle East, global turmoil, and a cratering economy, screeched that “the Democrats want men to compete against women on the playing field. They want men in our rest rooms and our locker rooms. It’s complete insanity!” Holy shit! I would say drink but I am already hammered!!! This is really all they have.

Extra Credit:

It truly is breathtaking how the dude who is allegedly the most powerful man on earth, worth (extorted, stolen and illegal but whatevs) billions, and the focus of constant ass-kissing by legions of brainwashed weirdos literally never, ever stops whining like a little bitch. He is apoplectic that analysis after analysis shows his repellent militarization of our nation’s capital is having a negligible, if any, impact on crime there, although a couple of MAGA tourists did get some cool selfies with National Guardsmen so I guess the hundreds of millions of dollars was worth it.

Today he took out his humiliating frustration on a recent report from the Center for American Progress which echoed what the Washington Post and others had found, outlining the troops aren’t doing jack shit to bring down the crime rate. Calling the report, inevitably, a “Radical Left SCAM” (he forgot HOAX I guess) which the “Dumocrats” (yawn) “love” because they are against anything ‘TRUMP’” (my God, I can feel the brain cells disintegrating just typing out the shit he says), Trump says he will file a lawsuit against the Center and one of its representatives, Chandler Hall, who talked about the report on CSPAN.

While this is, on the one hand, just another bullying bluff of bullshit that a judge would laugh out of the courtroom if it got that far, it is also blatantly authoritarian. Hellooo??? He is suing someone because he doesn’t like the conclusions of their report??? Wheee!!!! Surely all those free speech warriors like Joe Rogan and all the tech oligarchs who took to their fainting couches because some low-level staffers in the Biden White House tried to get some social media platforms to correct COVID disinformation and bitched about the over-the-top coverage of Hunter’s laptop will be up in arms now right?!!!!! LOLOLOL

Finally, primary election results are coming in, and the Wisconsin governor’s race is still too close to call. Whoa!!!! If Francesca Hong ends up losing someone needs to check in on Fox since they’ll have to revamp their coverage board for November. Ah, too bad.

Meanwhile, here’s what we know so far: Trump-endorsed certifiable lunatic and professional election conspiracy theorist MyPillow guy Mike Lindell lost the Republican primary for Minnesota governor. Spoiler alert: Without a doubt, it must have been rigged.

In South Carolina’s Republican senate primary, Lindsey Graham’s sister Darline got 33% of the vote and Congressman Ralph Norman got 25%. Since no one got 50%, they will advance to a run-off on August 25th. Darline told reporters that she’ll have to go out and win over voters and that “I’m not being handed this seat.” As the audience response function pointed out on not-Twitter: “she is literally being handed the seat.” Okay, that shit made me laugh out loud.

Thanks so much for reading and stay safe and healthy everyone!!! Remember we are not the crazy ones!!!

ROBIN SNYDER'S NOTES ON WTF? — Tue, 11 Aug 2026 06:20:40 GMT

Monday August 10, 2026

Remember back at the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey when Trump had to fly home in the shitty ass old Air Force One that is totally not good enough for him because he wanted, the White House preposterously lied, to give American troops in Europe the chance to see the new tarted up glitzed out bribe plane from Qatar like they gave a rat’s ass? LOLOL like anyone bought that. The New York Times, back then, reported, about a minute later, that that was utter bullshit and reason Trump couldn’t use the Qatar bribe plane was because of Iranian death threats that it wasn’t equipped to repel. Trump subsequently had his goons serve subpoenas to the New York Times reporters because those reporters were a threat to national security, don’t you know? As if.

Well today, in an exclusive, the Washington Post reports that Trump wasn’t even on the old shitty ass Air Force One and that one was used as a “decoy” even though it was filled with journalists and White House staff members who believed they were on the same plane as the president.

Leaving Turkey, the Post reports, Trump waddled into the old Air Force One for the cameras, and then, as a precaution against the potential Iranian assassination attempt, “was secretly shuttled minutes later to a smaller plane - an Air Force C-32A - via an airport catering truck typically used to load meals and other supplies preflight.” Damn, I bet that gives the White House staffers who were left behind to be cannon fodder the old warm and fuzzies huh? Meanwhile, is there actually anything more predictable than the cowardly Trump slinking away and leaving his associates out to dry?? That was a rhetorical question.

Aaron Rupar shared a nutty clip today of drunk former Fox weekend host Pete Hegseth – speaking of macho men - standing next to arrogant prick Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent blabbing. As per usual, Bessent was just spouting bullshit so nothing to see there but, holy shit, Hegseth was wiping snot from his nose and then running his hand through his hair. Eeeeewwww. Josh Billinson from Semafor recalled how, back in Pull-up Pete’s idiotic Fox & Friends days, he used to brag that he never washed his hands and didn’t believe germs were real. (I promise I’ll get to why this is germane in addition to being gratuitously hilarious.)

Hegseth’s on-camera action is so bananas we need to thank our lucky stars that he’s “only” ruining our nation’s military and our standing in the world and has nothing to do with our nation’s public health. But wait because, oh, f*ck, the dude who is, is, inconceivably, even worse!!! Yup, you may recall, our nation’s HHS Secretary, roadkill enthusiast RFK Jr, boasted earlier this year on Theo Von’s podcast that "I'm not scared of a germ. I used to snort cocaine off of toilet seats." It’s good to be proud of your accomplishments.

And today, thanks to the crackpot Kennedy’s whackadoodle beliefs about germs and drugs and vaccines and say when, Trump, with “his dear friend” Kennedy standing next to him, signed an executive order that "Effective immediately, my administration is recognizing gold standard childhood vaccine recommendations for only 11 core vaccinations against the most serious and dangerous diseases along with the MMR, which hopefully will be split up." The order also calls on schools to change their vaccination requirements. Hold the phone!!!!

Why in the actual hell, with the stunning improvements in childhood health we have accomplished over the last several decades, would he do this??? "Decades ago,” Trump says, “children received only a small fraction of the vaccines required today. In those times, people were much healthier and of course the high rates of autism now observed did not exist. There's a reason for such epidemic rates of autism."

OMG this is such crackpot conspiracy theory horseshit it makes me want to weep or vomit or both. Not that it needs to be refuted for anyone with functioning brain cells, but as the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health notes, the “overwhelming global scientific consensus is that vaccines do not cause autism.”

Yet here we are: the ridiculous idiot who once suggested COVID could be cured by injecting bleach up your ass is now giving vaccine advice to parents about breaking up the MMR vaccine into multiple visits, saying that "At one year, you should have 5 separate visits for vaccines rather than getting them all in the same day. I've seen proof of where they have a vaccination thing that looks like the size of a bottle of soda and pour it into a little child's body." Wait, what????

He’s seen proof that they’re injecting stuff the size of a bottle of soda into kids???? Come on!!! What are we even doing anymore????
Trump is so concerned about the nonexistent vaccine-autism connection that when NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya drones on about an initiative he’s working on to find the cause of autism Trump proceeds to fall so soundly asleep that he’s slumping to the side. The fact that (1) the “president” sleepfarts through pretty much every other meeting and (2) it’s the same monumental piece of shit who used to call Joe Biden “Sleepy Joe” every other second and (3) it’s still not a blaring front page story will never not be a travesty.

While he’s still awake, Trump dismisses concerns about the new vaccine policy and says “nothing bad can happen from what we’re doing,” Phew. I feel better.

Poor hideous sellout Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy, alas, apparently does not feel better. The crazily un-self-aware Cassidy today posted on not-Twitter: “I’m a doctor. This executive order is wrong. The President does not have the expertise to make these changes. Vaccines are overwhelmingly safe. Vaccines are effective. Vaccines DO NOT cause autism. Breaking up vaccines will mean children have to get more shots to get the same protection, not fewer shots. It will increase hesitancy and make children less safe. Parents should listen to their child’s pediatrician about vaccines rather than listening to an inaccurate executive order. This is so wrong.” If only Cassidy could have done something to keep that loony vaccine denying obvious nut job Kennedy out of power, right?? Oh, right, he cast the deciding vote for him. What in the actual f*ck is wrong with this asshole???

During the press availability after the ridiculous announcement, Trump addresses his idiotic war of choice in Iran, which he has no clue how to get out of. He lies that “The Strait of Hormuz is actually open now. Well, it's a little complex because they will on occasion drop a mine.” Holy shit!!! Yeah, those mines blowing up boats make that whole “being open” thing a little dicey.

A reporter asks: “You said this was Iran’s last chance. What now?”
Trump: “You will find out.” LOLOL Yeah, as soon as Trump’s next brain fart gives him a signal. Can the mainstream media, for the love of God, at least kindly give up the fiction that this moron has any earthly clue what is going on with Iran???

Extra Credit:

MacFarlane News reports today that internal National Park Service records show a 5000% increase in money for Trump’s White House grounds upgrades and vanity projects.

Well that gold plating is pricy – at least it’s money well spent.
Speaking of, amidst the endless AI-generated slop and lie-filled nonsense Trump incessantly posts on his dumbass personal social media site, it slipped through the cracks yesterday that, in a post there, he admitted there was zero video or photographic evidence of the “vandals” that supposedly ruined the (non)Reflecting Pool. He also, astonishingly, admitted that “some contractor error” was part of the problem. These admissions, of course, came after weeks of him (and Judge Box Wine and Doug Burgum and the whole lying lot of them) blatantly lying about the mountains of evidence they had and how the contractors were perfect. The New York Times, and God bless them for their incredible work, calls it a “change in rhetoric.”

The New York Times also reports today – no rhetoric, just facts – that the nonsensical, needless, performative National Guard deployment in DC has been extended to Trump’s last day in office and that a “$292 million federal contract was recently awarded for building 'apartment-style lodging units' for the troops.” Wheeee!!!! Because nothing says free and open democracy like building garrisons for the leader’s shock troops in the capital. Is anyone besides us paying attention FFS???

Thanks so much for reading and stay safe and healthy everyone!!! Remember we are not the crazy ones!!!
