Can’t tell you how many high level DC insiders have said to me in past two days they don’t believe anything WH says unless it is confirmed by Iran. And the smart ones want confirmation by Iranian actions not just words. Trump credibility even among GOPers is zero. Less than that.
Trump goes into a rage if they tell him anything he doesn't want to hear, so all we get from the WH is happy talk. Then the press tries to make that into something that makes sense, which just adds a veneer of credibility to the nonsense.
Yeah, I mean they treat Trump’s Big Lie about the rigged 2020 election as some sort of strategic decision, rather than the narcissistic butthurt of pathetic man with a fragile ego who cannot accept reality if it hurts his feelings.
His decisions since he started this stupid war in Iran are all about assuaging his overblown fragile ego.
I’m pretty sure he’s working in concert with people to pump and dump the stock market.
The suckers there believe what he says, the stock market goes up, people in the know dump after a rise, knowing his public statements will be disproven by facts. Then wait for the drop, buy again, wait for the market to believe him, etc.
“I do believe Marsellus Wallace, my husband, your boss, told you to take me out and do whatever I wanted. Now I wanna dance, I wanna win. I want that trophy, so dance good.”
OT: I planted more plants today. 2 more armenian cucumbers, a ton of red malabar spinach (I'm making a 'spinach wall' with it), more Mexican sour gherkins, walking stick kale, and jelly melons. Oh, and more sunflowers.
Nothing photo-worthy yet.
I'm disappointed with the gherkins. Something is eating them before they can grow, so I have started over with new seeds germinating and will let the plantlets get bigger before I transplant them. Hopefully that will let them outgrow the pests.
OT: Center for Constitutional Rights has a blog post up: https://ccrjustice.org/home/blog/2026/04/15/iran-lebanon-palestine-and-normalization-genocide. "The assault on Iran, the ongoing genocide in Gaza and increasingly, across all of Palestine, the destruction and displacement in Lebanon, and the expansion of ever-more unaccountable power within the United States are not separate crises. They are interconnected manifestations of a broader and long-running breakdown in legal and political constraints on violence."
You know, since Stinky kidnapped the president of Venezuela and put him on trial why can't some country kidnap Stinky? He has committed war crimes for fuck's sake and it just stands to reason that he should be arrested and taken to the Hague.
I haven't seen Morgan X (I don't remember her most recent name) since she was getting harassed by an ex a few weeks ago. Is she okay? Does anyone know? Did I dream this and everyone is actually fine?
Seems to be a pattern with this regime. If you’re politically connected or have a buddy in ICE, you can arrange to have any inconvenient immigrant in you life deported, whether it’s your step mom or an ex with whom you’re having a custody dispute.
Cronyism and favoritism are features of a fascist regime.
Evil fuckers run the Dipshit regime, and too many Americans not in the regime support it, and are therefore evil as well. Most haven't done the evil that those two fuckers did to Marie-Thérèse Ross-Mahé, but given the chance, they would have. I don't care if they are in church every Sunday, and read the Bible daily, they support evil. Either they sleep through the sermons, or the preacher is like that White creature who is Dipshit's Faith Advisor, and they don't understand what they read. Both testaments exhort people to welcome strangers to their country and to help those in need. The sin of Sodom wasn't homosexuality, it was inhospitality to visitors.
I bet those two sons are Good Christians™ too.
I hope that Lyons got himself a case of PTSD that's resistant to therapy and never going to leave him.
I need to send a gift to someone in London, England. Anyone know of a good chocolate shop in London?
Here's a good place to start.

Very helpful. Thanks!
You're welcome.
But I don't live in London.
Bummer.
This sounds about right, if the poster is credible.

Thank goodness we didn't vote for the smart lady, though. Can you imagine how much worse it would be?

Collusion and complicity.

Truly insane where we've allowed ourselves to land as a nation.
I still think the orange idiot is negotiating with the voices in his head.
Unfortunately the voices in his head are incapable of self reflection, and can only react in narcissistic rage when his fragile ego is hurt.
I’m pretty sure he’s working in concert with people to pump and dump the stock market.

I was saying the same earlier today. How many cycles of this are we on now? I've lost count.
The plan falls apart when Iran tires of that bullshit and starts destroying occupying American hardware.
Fighting with himself, he is.
And losing.
Ta, Marcie. I. Just. Can't. Even.
Nor should you.
So much maneuvering and cruelty over a mere bag of shells. What a couple of assholes those sons are.

We are living in a timeline so dumb it's exhausting.

It was me. Cravings, you see.
LOL!!!!!!!!!

Our enemies are enjoying the show, and our allies are terrified of MAGA.
I am thinking exceptionally banhammerable thoughts about the 2 sons and the ICE thugs who were involved in the widow's case.
The value of setting beneficiary statements, transfer-on-death titles and deeds, and last but not least, ironclad Wills and Testaments.
With extreme votes.
Shades of Jerry Moore.
Wanna borrow my rubber chicken?
Time to punish myself. I have to do two loads of laundry, and while that's happening, I'll watch the Mets attempt to play baseball.
And after all that's done, I will reward myself by strolling to a nearby fairly decent Mexican restaurant for dinner (and a drink or two).
Our new owner couldn't run a soccer team in London.
Says it' "Not" a vanity purchase.
I stopped drinking beer when it hit $9. About 5 years ago.
I can afford it. But I refuse. If/when I become an alcoholic I will
have to pay it. But I probably won't live that long anyways.
The Mets play baseball. They really do. In some other metaverse ... but they play baseball.
In some other Metsaverse.
I haven't seen Morgan X (I don't remember her most recent name) since she was getting harassed by an ex a few weeks ago. Is she okay? Does anyone know? Did I dream this and everyone is actually fine?
Also I realize nobody has to check in with me on their comings and goings.
Perfect! 'Cause I'm skippin' school all next week!
I thought I have seen her in the past few days (and Toots says she was here this morning). XD
She was around this morning, doing her workout.
She's around. I got some DMs from her about an hour ago.
She *still* hasn’t scraped that off her shoe? I should set him up with one of *my* stalkers.
I need to get her a new heavy duty shoe brush.
Or new shoes.
When you can't get Todd Lyin' to stay in a job because of its incalculable fuckitude, you start to get an idea of just how soulless Kristi Noem is. She actually *wanted* the job. And whether she wanted it on its own merits and was a True Believer or was simply willing to do Despicable Things©* in the pursuit of ill-gotten booty (monetary and otherwise) you have to be a special kind of evil to do what that job requires.
*Despicable Things© is the working title of a new Netflix series to fund my retirement.
I look forward to your show, and am not sure whether I am hopeful, or fearful, of being in an episode.
And she did it all while racking up over $3 mil in personal debt since 2020.
Those Rolex watches don't come cheap.
How much of that was Bryon's fetish chatting though?
A few hundred K tops per the NY Post’s reporting. She looks like the culprit.

The Prosperity Gospel is all about how to get money you didn't work for. It's a miracle!
"The sin of Sodom wasn't homosexuality, it was inhospitality to visitors."
And failure to care for their own who were in need IIRC. Basically being Next Level Dicks™.
