In case anybody was curious, the GIF is from "The Women" 1939.. Joan Crawford (as Crystal Allen) is in the company of her man's ex getting called out for "stealing her man".
Trump's brain flits wildly from Mamdani to shoveling snow to having a conversation with a woman in the audience who has bad eyes. He claims he "gave her a lot of money to get her eyes fixed." This event is totally off the rails.
Wonder what drugs they're going to give him to keep him coherent during the speech?
Remember, Joe Biden got really not long after his last SOTU, as I recall. I hope someone will do a compare and contrast of his last speech vs PAB's speech tomorrow night. THEN we'll see who's really too old to be preznit.
I just realized that I have not been subjected to the usual tech blur about ski/snowboard tuning and waxing in this Olympics. I recall hem doing that every god damned time in the past.
Yes I am watching replays because I like the sport and don't care about the medal counting.
I liked the Nordic freestyle where they do half the race in classic skis and then quickly switch to skate skis for the second half. That is the most aerobic of all the winter events, for sure. They all collapse and flop over on the snow as soon as they cross the finish line.
So, my former, former employer had a major layoff last week. (That place is notorious for layoffs. How I survived there for 35yrs, I'll never know.) Instead of just referring to it as 'reduction in force' or 'downsizing', they had to brand it 'Inflation Offset Program'. Can you fkng believe that shit? I'm so glad they finally put me out of that misery 3 years ago.
We'll get our checks. Just be patient. It'll happen after Trump and the rethuglicans crater the economy and the Democrats come back in to clean up the mess, and send us all stimulus checks to perk up our sad carcass of an economy.
When the dam breaks suddenly everyone will hold the view that trump was a fascist, a cancer on America. Its happened before. In France, 1946 suddenly everyone had seemingly been in the resistance. In truth, very few people had been. As I say, most men are not brave.
They really shit the bed with how they celebrated their win, partying with Kash, singing some jingoistic song, laughing while Trump dissed the womenβs team on a phone call. So disappointing.
Trump Melts Down After Favorite General Sounds Alarm on His War Plotting
President Donald Trump threw a Truth Social tantrum to shut down reports that his favorite general is urging caution on his plots against Iran.
Trump, 79, blasted the press on Monday for reporting that Gen. Dan βRaizinβ Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, had warned top administration officials about the significant risks of a military campaign against Iran.
Citing officials with knowledge of the discussions, both Axios and The Wall Street Journal reported that Caine has been cautious about the Iran face-off over concerns of possible casualties, depleted air defenses, and an overworked force.
Trump had been weighing an initial strike in the coming days as well as a military assault later this year if Tehran doesnβt accept his demands to give up its nuclear program, according to The New York Times.
The commander in chief decided to address the matter himself on Truth Social.
βNumerous stories from the Fake News Media have been circulating stating that General Daniel Caine, sometimes referred to as Razin [sic], is against us going to War with Iran,β he began. βThe story does not attribute this vast wealth of knowledge to anyone, and is 100% incorrect.β
Betting propositions/drinking game events for tomorrows SOTU:
1) Trump states we have the greatest economy ever despite rising unemployment, inflation, decreasing GDP and people pining for the rosy days of Joe Biden.
2) Trump claims that he has solved all wars ever, including the war on drugs.
3) Trump mentions that he won the 2020 election.
4) Trump describes any of his electoral victories as a "land slide" despite them being closer than any elections since 2000.
5) Trump declares he is the President of Peace or deserves a peace prize within two miutes of having threaten to bomb a country.
6) Trump claims people are happy with his "final solution" to immigration.
7) Trump refers to any of his cabinet members as "competent," "ethical," "honest," or "working for the American people."
8) Trump makes a pitch for some Trump Co. product.
9) Over/Under on mentions of President Biden: 132.
Well, I just slipped and fell on my ass during the latest shoveling sesh. Guess the 'Verse wants me to suffer just a little bit more than I already am.
When Alice first came to my house, she had come out of a very dire environment. She was shut down. But then she started to explore a little bit, and she walked across some pillows, and fell over, like she had no idea how to walk on something soft. And then she laid down and rolled on it and rubbed her face on the pillow, and it was the first time I saw her smile. She still loves soft.
I live right near it - it is in Dallas on the campus of SMU - southern Millionaires University. I've never been. The 'CEO" of the Bush Library (CEO?) said yesterday that it could be as popular as Graceland if only people would stop treating it like a 'mausoleum'. But the thing it, Dubbya really is going to be mausolized there for eternity - so it actually really is exactly a mausoleum. Probably and Eternal Flame as well.
It's $150 to go. That's too much for me. I'll take pictures for yall.
he seems to be in a state of suspended animation these days - you never see him.
There is a fish place in University Park I used to go to with a friend Pat. Pat went my himself a few years ago. he was in a booth. In the next booth - facing him - Dubya! He flipped and asked the waitress for the check and he has to get out of there. She sympathized.
Here ... have a snow dog. https://bsky.app/profile/weratedogs.com/post/3mfku2ivv5c2z
This is Wiley. He has never seen snow before and wants to make sure he gets a real good look at it. For science. 12/10 (IG: smileywileydog)

I missed the biathlon, want to go back and watch that. I assume that the Norwegians won, of course.
I'm watching Men's Snowboard Cross finals right now. Have a bunch yet to see in other sports.
I spoke too soon. Director is trying to get me to do some work tomorrow, which I don't know how that's going to work if no one else is working.
Covid, and fucking Teams/Zoom, murdered the Snow Day. Now you can just work from home!
We still get regular snow days. Except when Director wants something done, and apparently no one else can do it but me. So *I* work.
Director must be Obeyed. So It Is Written.
I'm tellin' ya...the Snow Day gods require a blood sacrifice.
So, my former, former employer had a major layoff last week. (That place is notorious for layoffs. How I survived there for 35yrs, I'll never know.)

But fucking Wonkette has owned that shit from jump
Fortunately the internet won't forget these assholes.
They own said internet. Books.
But the "dam breaks", right...??
Nobody knows the future, but I suspect so. This stupid version of fascism is frankly untenable, in that it simply does not work.

White men to attend SOTU.
Women declined
Ironically, I've been mis-reading 'SOTU' as 'STFU' the past few days.
And not one fucker on that team is going to boycott.

It was a disgusting spectacle. :(

lol
So he fired the Black air force general for nothing
lol
Translation: They ran a simulation (probably several), and it did not look good.
βThe story does not attribute this vast wealth of knowledge to anyone,"
Wtf is this supposed to mean?
He doesnβt like anonymous sourcing, bit his brainβs too broke to say it that way?

Lies about how much money the tariffs made for our country.
Declares the tariffs will continue, despite the SCOTUS ruling.
Abuses the 6 justices who ruled against him.
And hopefully, the 3 liberal ones will be home washing their cats.

Help a Wonker go to the Bush Library!
I live right near it - it is in Dallas on the campus of SMU - southern Millionaires University. I've never been.

It's $150 to go. That's too much for me. I'll take pictures for yall.
Won't you please help?
EW
Is he still living there? I liked the house he bought but itβs too close to the tollway for my tastes.
he seems to be in a state of suspended animation these days - you never see him.
There is a fish place in University Park I used to go to with a friend Pat. Pat went my himself a few years ago. he was in a booth. In the next booth - facing him - Dubya! He flipped and asked the waitress for the check and he has to get out of there. She sympathized.
they CHARGE???!!!
seems like - I'll go over there sometime and check it out for real - I have to go to Half-Price Books sooner or later and that is sort of nearby
I just assumed they had to kidnap people to attend and "Please clap"...
Wait, wut, it has books?
My Pet Goat. Itβs been banned in Texas schools.
It seems to have tables and windows. Maybe you bring your own?
I went to SMU on scholarship π¬. Why the fuck are they charging $150 dollars to go to his likely empty "library"? Who DOES pay that?
Don't you care about American History?
