He is having a good day. Steve-O charged, NY freeing the way to see his tax returns, and he appeared to be experiencing a cardiac episode watching the DNC.

The whining is getting deafening.

Addendum:

I am told that to understand Trump’s all caps tweets you have to add “Mommy!” In front and Then read them. Apparently all becomes clear.

But what if the milk at the breast is bitter? Surely in such case a little cry is justified? A mask just makes feeding that much more difficult.

Following Trump's call for people to boycott Goodyear tyres the Lincoln Project has a new ad set to run in Ohio from today about Trump's call to attack over 3000 union jobs in Ohio with his call for people to shop elsewhere

Damn. Lost my massive, long rant about wether austerity Joe and the DNC will continue to sacrifice the poor at the alter of the wealthy if they get in. I’m sure you’re all gutted, especially Digby.

I mean it would be cool if they don’t, obviously, but it seems a distinct possibility. I see they sneakily downgraded their original climate pitch already.

I think that all came from wondering where these wall donations actually came from. I’m sure there’s a ton of the typical wealthy, racist idiots in there, but it’s sad to think of any desperate folk who aren’t so well off. Genuinely believe that keeping the bloody Mexicans out is the priority, that the people in charge couldn’t be doing more for them if they wanted to.

At least the Cheney project are amassing a good social media following for 2024 though. So that’s cool.

Because we all hate poor people?

I am amused that as a centre left Lib Dem voter among a group of rugby fans I can be mocked from the left, that's not the norm in rugby circles

I can't believe someone was able to squeeze of 20 million clams out of the public simply on the promise to put up a section of fence that would be most noteworthy for its negative environmental impact. Just think how much contractors have made out of the government. I know that one single awarded contract was for over 1 billion dollars. I think I read a figure of somewhere 9 billion somewhere....if that is even half way accurate...

Is this the biggest inappropriate spunking of tax payer money eva? An utterly ineffectual grunting cumshot in an empty desert.

Any chance anything happens to Bannon and other lickspittles?

No. Bannon will know where the bodies (hopefully not literal) are buried. Being federal crimes a pardon or commutation or just stopping the prosecution is almost certain.

That's what happens when the Overton window gets yanked over to the far right and never really shifts back, I guess.

It’s almost like there is a pattern...

Well he's already sent the message to Maxwell but she'll need to join the queue to turn on him once he's not Pres.

Was curious about those numbers. This is sort of interesting.

"Fisher has leveraged his self-described “Lamborghini” of walls to win more than $1.7 billion worth of federal contracts in Arizona."

https://www.propublica.org/article/he-b ... -not-fixed

Another promising snippet - "When the government builds border fencing, it must meet a long list of requirements, including public meetings and stewardship plans, though critics say the process is fairly toothless since the Department of Homeland Security has waived many environmental requirements.

Fisher doesn’t have to meet even those scaled down requirements."

Experts say part of the wall built by Fisher is already breaching environmental standards, is breaching treaties with Mexico, and is falling over anyway. Trump says it's been done to make him look bad. Fisher says nothing to see here the wall will last for centuries and Trump is a genius.

That fucking garden fence has pillaged millions of litres of water from wetlands to make cement and deal with dust, and in the process dumped a fair amount of both into the environment. We can't find any money for the unemployed and destitute but there are literally billions being poured into this fiasco. Meanwhile old white men hold back funds and insist that we need to cut taxes further to help employers by triaging social security and that employers should have indemnity in the event that their employees are struck with a predictable illness doing jobs they are compelled to show up for in the absence of appropriate safety measures. There is zero appetite for any sense of community amongst these unprincipled thundercunts in charge. $1.3 billion dollars awarded to a contractor that erects 20 foot steel posts on sandy loam immediately adjacent to a large river that regularly floods the surrounding area. What fuckwit gave the green light for that?

The burial grounds desecration I did not know about. Apparenty in place protections were waived with callous disregard for why those protections were put in place. Here we are in an upside down world where a kiwi living in America posts a link to a segment by an English comedian living in America in an effort to clarify just how wrong this vanity project is. How you can shit on people from such great height with such impunity and claim you are a functioning beacon of democracy is beyond me. Stupid fucking white man.

The cracker convention is something to behold - 4 days of this insanity

John Oliver says "ass" now.

Fucking traitor.

It is....surreal.

Maybe Trump could hire those Rio Tinto execs to work on the public outreach aspect of building the crumbling wall

In a welcome reprieve from the monotony of financial fraud and electoral interference surrounding Trump, Jerry Falwell Jr, son of the founder of Liberty "University" and vocal evangelical supporter of Trump, has gone to ground after revelations of a richly sordid sex life when not being a judgemental preachy cunt. A young man has come forward and revealed that he, as the Falwells 20 year old pool boy, would nail Mrs. Falwell while Jerry "watched". Apparently there is quite the catalogue of sexual adventure in his closet.

Good old career evangelical preachers. You know that eventually they will trip over and accidentally fall inside someone they probably shouldn't have.

Never met them, heard things about them but doesn't know them, wishes them well......

"When the pool boy was doing her, I jammed my thumb up his arse, like this"

Jared and his cracker girlfriend coked off their faces talking about God.....

What will tonight's cracker pageant bring us

Melanie will make speech about Donnel and how important it is for to let him get inside the children issue.
