“But I don’t want to go among mad people," Alice remarked. "Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad." "How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.” ― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

    WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump said he made a special exception for the United Kingdom by lowering tariffs on automobiles to help high-end British auto manufacturers such as Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Jaguar that produce vehicles in the United Kingdom.
    “It’s a very special car, and it’s very limited number, too,” Trump, speaking from the Oval Office, said of Rolls-Royce vehicles, which sell for between $350,000 and $520,000 for new models. “It’s not one of the monster car companies that makes millions of cars. They make a very small number of cars that are super luxury.”

  2. A new Pope was selected and he’s American, thousands of worshippers gathered in St. Peter’s Square to welcome the new holy father, right wing social media is losing its collective mind because the new Pope cares for the poor and the sick and the plight of immigrants, Trump announced his first trade deal today with the UK, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer was not able to be at the White House but he did call in to kiss some ass, Trump blamed Pete Buttigieg for all of the issues at Newark Airport, several of Pete Hegseth’s personal passwords have been compromised by cyberattacks, Klan Mom Marjorie Taylor Greene put on a magnificent display of dumb-assery, Trump has an important Mother’s Day message, and Jimmy’s wife Molly gives a helpful hint for how to make this the best Mother’s Day ever.


  3. Desi Lydic has the latest from the Vatican after the announcement of the first American pope, Leo XIV, including the world’s reaction to a Chicago-style pope and Fox News immediately yelling at him to speak English. Plus, Michael Kosta celebrates America’s conclave win.

  4. None are British anymore: Jaguar and Rover are Indian,Rolls Royce owned by BMW (Bayerische Motoren Werke AG) and Bentley by Volkswagen.

  5. Nailed it, Craig. Not funny and getting deep into bored-out-of-my-skull territory. So sick of him.

  6. BiD, I think the more critical part of the trade “deal” with the UK is that he entered into some sort of deal to look tough with a country with whom we normally have a trade surplus. Makes one wonder if the sonofabitch is too stupid to understand that he should be lowering tariffs on the UK if anything.

  7. Speaking of great ones from Chicago:

    Nancy Faust returning as organist for Chicago White Sox baseball games. Reason enough to start watching baseball again.

  8. “Makes one wonder if the sonofabitch is too stupid to understand that he should be lowering tariffs on the UK if anything.”

    He doesn’t have to be very smart as long as he knows how stupid his peasant followers are. And the answer to that is:
    Very.
    Very stupid.
    18 Very’s in a row would not cover how stupid his followers are.

  9. What I have not been able to reconcile is how people who I know to be very smart are so fucking stupid when it comes to DODO – although the term self-interest comes to mind.

    The quadrennial tournament, which the United States will host alongside Mexico and Canada, is expected to attract millions of fans from dozens of countries.

    Trump’s Cabinet members warn FIFA World Cup visitors not to overstay their visas

    *Last week, I emailed FIFA a suggestion to move all matches to Canada and Mexico, due to human rights violations and possible danger to tourists.

    I’ve also called Republicans in Congress, noting that their failure to hold Adolf & his n@zi ghouls accountable will destroy tourism, including FIFA & the Olympics; we are a pariah to the rest of the world.

  11. Vegetables! Craig, Vegetables!

    My only recollection of prime rib was on a rare visit with my mother. She packed it in salt and smoked up her house.

  12. i’ve never had rhubarb but all the gardeners and vegans rave about it so now i have a rhubarb plant 🤷‍♂️

  13. What AI image generator are you using, Mr. C? AI Mr. C kinda freakin’ me out, mannnn…

  14. “ What I have not been able to reconcile is how people who I know to be very smart are so fucking stupid when it comes to DODO”

    it’s ‘cause they hate people of color and gays but know not to say that to you

  15. Rhubarb sauce & baking powder biscuits
    French rhubarb pie
    Strawberry rhubarb pie

    It takes a lot of sugar, but less if you mix it with strawberries.

    My plant has started growing since snapping off the two “bolts” that were going to flower/seed.

  16. “it’s ‘cause they hate people of color and gays but know not to say that to you”

    Yep and began to coalesce around stump the night a black man humiliated the white alleged billionaire at the White House correspondents dinner. Everyone saw that he didn’t crack a smile, but I’m sure that not many saw the actual depth of his humiliation and hatred.

    It had began to breathe heavily with
    “deplorables”

    It had whirred into being with the phrase clinging to god, guns, and whatever it was
    and then fixed on Bump at the dinner.

    He fired Meatloaf.

    The racists had been held back for so long that the democrats may have not taken them quite as seriously as they maybe should have.

    The only thing needed was a Totem Pole.

  17. ooh look at you, Jack, nice 👍

    i know from my program that you can force a new stalk by covering it with a tall container, BiD 🤷‍♂️

  18. I think they couldn’t abide a black man being president the entire time Sturge, that dinner serves as a focal point, but they were stewing for eight years

    “I don’t think he’ll stay quiet for too long if he has something to say,” John said. “I know he’s not happy with what’s going on with immigration. I know that for a fact. How far he’ll go with it is only one’s guess, but he won’t just sit back. I don’t think he’ll be the silent one.” -The new Pope’s bro

    Ivanka Trump is set to make a rare public appearance to promote access to healthy food in support of the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement spreading through Washington, D.C.

    Trump, 43, will speak at the Heartland Summit in Bentonville, Arkansas, on Thursday, according to Axios.

    She will use the occasion to spotlight her latest initiative to expand access to fresh produce, which comes as her return to the national stage after maintaining a relatively low profile during her father’s second term.

    During the event, Ivanka will be interviewed by Arianna Huffington, founder and CEO of Thrive Global. Their discussion will focus on how private-sector innovations and whole-harvest sourcing are being leveraged to improve access to fresh food, support farmers, reduce waste, and create lasting, positive impacts in communities, the outlet reports.

    *Ivanker should get her orange monster of a father & his gaggle of goose-stepping n@zis in Congress to NOT cut school lunches, USAID, SNAP, and Meals on Wheels funding…if she actually cares. Oh, and rolling back EPA regulations on clean water and air aren’t healthy, either, nor cutting off medical research, access to vaccines, and increasing the cost of meds like insulin.

    ps – MICHELLE OBAMA already did the veggie/health initiative! The MAGATs formerly known as deplorable Teabaggers lost their racist minds. What happened to the WH veggie garden?

  21. Had some really good toast topper last year.

    Frog jam, purchased in the deli section of a store where they sell the SBA/boutique foods.

    Fig. Rhubarb. Orange, Ginger.

  22. The scene in To Kill a Mockingbird that gives away their game.

    Tom Robinson: Looks like she didn’t have nobody to help her. I felt right sorry for her. She seemed…
    Prosecutor: You felt sorry for her? A white woman? You felt sorry for her?

  23. Main point was it was at that the moment at that dinner all their free range hatred found a place to roost. One Man to carry the flag.

    It always takes One Guy and that was the night they found him.

  24. Nicolle Wallace had Scott Galloway on her MSNBC show Thursday. She began by asking him what he makes of this moment in which we find ourselves. Galloway, a business professor and popular podcaster, could have zigged in any number of directions with that open-ended question, so I was interested to see the direction he settled on: “I think we essentially have become a kleptocracy that would make Putin blush. I mean, keep in mind that in the first three months, the Trump family has become $3 billion wealthier, so that’s a billion dollars a month.”

  26. And of course he never let them down, remaining every bit as despicable as they wanted him to be .

  27. Back in the day there were three phrases that were grounds for immediate termination of employment at a manager level: “I don’t know,” “I don’t have time,” and “that’s not my job.”

  28. If you were given one dollar every second:

    One million seconds is about 11.6 days.

    One billion seconds is approximately 31.7 years.

    Billionaires should not exist. It’s a sickness with them, like gambling or drugging. The hole is never filled.

    Billionaires Anonymous: You must give away your wealth to a real charity or organization with zero affiliation, or something lots of folks give to, like PBS or the Salvation Army.

    Why aren’t they all building libraries and farms that serve food banks?

    ‘Fed up’ crowd in Massachusetts swarms ICE agents attempting to arrest mother

    Harrowing new video footage reveals the moment a mob of angry Massachusetts residents descended on federal immigration agents and attempted to thwart their operation to detain a woman with her family.

    Neighbors spotted Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials intercepting a mother who was with her teen daughter and her newborn baby at about 11:15 a.m. Thursday on Eureka Street in Worcester. The father was detained by ICE on Wednesday, according to the local immigration justice network LUCE.

    The dramatic video footage, which has since gone viral online, was captured by a witness at the scene and shows the woman clinging to her infant child as ICE agents attempt to arrest her.

    A swarm of 25 locals gathered, with one heard demanding to see identification and a warrant and calling to stop the chaos. “We don’t have to show you anything,” an ICE agent reportedly told the crowd.

    Immigration officials called upon officers from the Worcester police for backup, with the department describing in a statement how the “unruly” crowd “put their hands on federal agents and Worcester officers.”

    The woman, whose neighbors told Boston 25 is of Brazilian descent, gave her baby to her 16-year-old daughter as she was taken into custody.

    GESTAPO!

    The teen then tried to stop the ICE vehicle from leaving by standing in front of it, while holding the baby.

    TIANANMEN SQUARE!

    After handing the newborn to a neighbor, the daughter kicked the car, police said. The girl managed to initially evade police officers, who are then seen chasing and restraining her on the ground as she screams, according to separate footage captured by NBC Boston.

    The news station reported that the girl’s “face was slammed into the ground.” The teen was arrested on four charges, including child endangerment, police said.

    F everyone in this administration carrying water for the racist, orange sack of garbage.
    Enjoy Nuremberg 2.0 ICE!

    White House Reveals Why it Fired Librarian of Congress

    On Friday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt accused Hayden of putting “inappropriate books for children” in the library, which receives a copy of every book that is copyrighted in the United States each year. She also claimed the librarian had done “quite concerning things … in the pursuit of DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion), and “did not fit the needs of the American people.”

    “We don’t believe that she was serving the interests of the American taxpayer well, so she has been removed from her position, and the President is well within his rights to do that,” Leavitt said.

    *She was a black woman, and far more educated than Dumb Don-Old or any of his cabinet and staff. This threatens the MAGAt n@zi scum.

  31. Won’t be surprised if Schutzstaffel Stephen tries to revoke Pope Leo’s American citizenship.

    United States law allows dual citizenship. According to the State Department, a dual citizen who became a foreign head of state would not necessarily lose American citizenship if he or she wanted to keep it.

    Texas House Passes Bill That Criminalizes Using Altered Media in Political Ads Without Disclosure

    Phelan’s bill comes after he was the subject of targeted campaigns by the more conservative branches of his own party during his re-election run. The Club for Growth, a massive conservative PAC, sent out mailers with an edited picture of Phelan’s head on House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ body while hugging Rep. Nancy Pelosi. Currently, Texas has a law that prohibits using AI pictures within 30 days of an election. However, those mailers didn’t fall into that period of time.

    Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression wrote that the bill “shift[s] the power to judge the accuracy of political messaging from voters to the government.”

    “It is quite a serious bill with First Amendment concerns,” Sam Hooper, counsel for the Institute of Justice, said in a video statement. “Political satire, parody, memes, all of these have always been a part of how Americans criticize those in power. You shouldn’t have to slap a disclaimer on it. You should be able to trust the recipients of information to judge by themselves what they want to accept, what they believe to be true.”

    Top White House adviser Stephen Miller says ‘we’re actively looking at’ suspending due process for migrants

    The “privilege of the writ of habeas corpus can be suspended at a time of invasion. So I would say that’s an action we’re actively looking at,” Miller told reporters outside the White House.

    *There was never an “invasion” and now numbers at the border are historically low, so the n@zis kind of shot themselves in their fascist feet on that one.

  34. I don’t know why anyone is surprised at krasnov declaring martial law, he already did it. His “invasion” as decided by 2025 is why he is getting rid of people of any color other than fascist white. We are already there. It is why many LGBT people have left the country for other more safe and friendly locales. Herr Miller is just telling us what is the next step, not that he needs to.

  35. BREAKING: None of my ice cream breads were fed to pigeons.
    The full oven experiment is now classified. View here before the carbs disappear:

  36. Why is she even in this job? She is barely in any of the OO photos while her “deputy” SS Stephen is large and in charge.

  37. How do you remove due process for migrants? You can’t. You need due process to prove they are migrants, undocumented, or whatever.

    Without due process, detaining someone is kidnapping. Without due process, moving some to a prison or to a concentration is human trafficking.

    Nuremberg 2.0 waits for Adolf and his n@zi ghouls.

    The White House says Trump’s baseline 10% tariff is here to stay

    “The president is committed to the 10% baseline tariff — not just for the United Kingdom, but for his trade negotiations with all other countries as well,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters at a Friday briefing.

    When asked if that will be permanent, Leavitt answered, “The president is determined to continue with that 10% baseline tariff. I just spoke to him earlier.”

    *An extra 10% tRUMP tax. Art of the steal.
    Congress, take back your power. F-ing cowards!

  39. Of course, NBC gave 20 seconds to the arrest of the Mayor of Newark…and zero coverage to a mother being tipped away from her baby and her teen, her teen trying to block the police car, handing the baby to a neighbor, kicking the police car to try to stop it, then being chased by a GANG of men and thrown to the ground, face-first. Nothing. NADA.

    Human Rights Watch had put the US on the watch list because of the Gestapo, er, ICE.

  40. My maggers only watch Fox. They don’t even check the local weather. Fox propaganda is their only reality.

  41. Well, I already called Republican Critterz today, but this warrants more calls. NBC really buried it, mid-newscast, and gave it 20 seconds.

    They are also, apparently, doing border checks to leave the US, even though Canada checks the incoming. They are going to start to look for women (and girls) who may need reproductive healthcare. Or, maybe just anyone they don’t like.

  42. Chris Hayes is running it. They definitely won’t see anything about that.

  43. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/trump-administration-charter-plane-first-white-south-africans-refugees-rcna205971

    The Trump administration is chartering a plane to bring the first white South Africans to the U.S. as refugees

    President Donald Trump signed an executive order in February granting an exception for Afrikaners after suspending the U.S. refugee admissions program.

    A group of white South Africans will be arriving in Washington, D.C., on Monday by way of a State Department-chartered plane to be resettled in the U.S. as refugees, a source familiar with their arrival told NBC News.

    Trump signed an order on Jan. 20 that said the U.S. “lacks the ability to absorb large numbers of migrants, and in particular, refugees, into its communities in a manner that does not compromise the availability of resources for Americans, that protects their safety and security, and that ensures the appropriate assimilation of refugees.”

    *Our tax dollars being misappropriated to infect our country with more yt supremacists.

    According to his findings, the pope’s maternal side can be traced back to the 1840s’ “free people of color” in New Orleans— a city with a significant Catholic population— Honora told Forbes. Pope Leo XIV’s maternal grandparents and his mother’s older siblings, were “identified in records as Black or mulatto” in historic documents, although they “passed … into a white racial identity” after moving to Chicago.

    *MAGAts are yt supremacists. They were celebrating an American Pope yesterday, then they found out his stance on Immigration, and now this. What a journey for MAGAts.

  45. You’re doing good on the blog, BiD. Thank you.

    A little bit of information overload, but that surely is not your fault 😩
