The Founding Fathers (Lin-Manuel Miranda, Mikey Day, Andrew Dismukes, Chloe Fineman, Sarah Sherman, Michael Longfellow, Ashley Padilla, Emil Wakim) get interrupted by President Trump (James Austin Johnson) while signing the Declaration of Independence.
Weekend Update anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che tackle the week’s biggest news, like Trump signing many executive orders on his first day in office.
bId – Signal is what my girlfriend uses when we text or call. It has quirks, especially deleteing texts fast if the the settings are for immediate delete. A group of us are trying to get it to work but the quirks are making it difficult.
But, once you figure out how it works it is secure.
This is what I was expecting this morning.
BB – Thanks. I also heard it works if you lose internet access. I guess just cellular? Thinking ahead.
Another song about the little Edelweiss. Not a different version, a different song.
Jack, great choice. That’s some of the Mozartiest Mozart, and I loves me my Mozart. Loved the cold open last night. Fell asleep for the rest, so happy to wake up to the rest.
Basketball is now in full swing and I’m loving it. SEC has up to 13 teams projected to make the tournament. That is insane.
So often when listening to Mozart I seem to hear bits of melody that have been appropriated by later songs. Can’t think of a specific example though.
What Does It Mean That Donald Trump Is a Fascist? Trump takes the tools of dictators and adapts them for the Internet. We should expect him to try to cling to power until death, and create a cult of January 6th martyrs.
Fascism reduces the unbearable complexity of history to whatever the Leader says. It weakens the government and uplifts oligarchs. It conjures an enemy.
— Yale historian Timothy Snyder
Craig – although not a big internet ponder the demise of stupid does have many thinkers trying to come up with some answers. Demise does not need to be room temperature either. The guy makes “loony tunes howling at the moon mad and peeing on trees” a very good possibility. As nuts as he today, he could go much further.
What could happen if he is removed from office? Immediate could be he is a martyr for the magats. Would it trigger civil war? Would the moles in the military and police be involved in any civil disturbance? Would the new president, Vance or someone else, be able to change the path of the outrage? Would the Congress act or just sit back,ineffective?
Those are the easy questions floating around, there are many more questions. The speculation of what would happen is all over the place too. What I have not seen yet is speculation of him as a dictator, and now fuerer. It just makes me frustrated that he is still consider rational. At least there are many of us in the peanut gallery who are on the same page.
I am still deciding how nuts the magats, including the wannabe brownshirts, will go when he is sidelined. I think there will be some actions around the country, but would be controlled. What would happen if it happens in the next few months? Would Vance continue 2025? Yes is the answer to that, but he is not living in an alternate universe so might do somethings a little different.
“Trump freeze on NIH grant reviews alarms scientists, with long-term impact uncertain‘Everything appears to have just ground to a halt,’ said one cardiologist”
“…unsure if they’ll have money to pay lab members’ salaries or run experiments. More broadly, uncertainty about when meetings will resume and a lack of communication from NIH leadership is fueling fears about the longer-term impact on medical and biotechnology innovation in the United States.”
May the thing that could’ve saved Adolf and his family and supporters be the very thing he defunded. So mote it be.
BlueB, I’m convinced Putin picked Vance as insurance for when they have to trigger the 25th Amendment (No joke).
How long before they start the draft? They are scaring off folks who might see the military as a way up. The current military are seeing that DEI (which impacts hiring of veterans) is no more, and they will see cuts to the VA.

Craig – The illusion has been broken for many, but it’s still a cult of personality. Without tRUMPsky, it’s just yt supremacists (and there are a lot of them), but it will crumble quickly. Nobody likes JD. He’s a hateful, little schmuck. Nobody will follow JD the way they followed tRUMPsky.
“Trump wants Jordan and Egypt to accept more Palestinian refugees and floats plan to ‘clean out’ Gaza”
“ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (AP) — President Donald Trump said he would like to see Jordan, Egypt and other Arab nations increase the number of Palestinian refugees they are accepting from the Gaza Strip, potentially moving out enough of the population to “just clean out” the war-torn area to create a virtual clean slate.”
“During a 20-minute question-and-answer session Saturday with reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump also said he has ended his predecessor’s hold on sending 2,000-pound bombs to Israel. That lifts a pressure point meant to reduce civilian casualties during Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza, which is now halted by a tenuous ceasefire.”
“We released them today,” Trump said of the bombs. “They’ve been waiting for them for a long time.” Asked why he lifted the ban on those bombs, Trump responded, “Because they bought them.”
Mortonie, and despite the whirlwind of orders and bullshit from the Trump Regime this week, not a single word about grocery prices!
Mozart’s birthday tomorrow
it was never about egg prices, it was about hating women gays and blacks and latinos
Normal days are the best days. That said, me and mister git hitched half a century ago.
On CBS this morning:
BRENNAN: You campaigned on lowering prices. Which executive order lowers prices
VANCE: We have done a lot.
BRENNAN: So grocery prices aren’t going to come down?
VANCE: No Margaret, prices are gonna come down. But it’s gonna take a little bit of time.
they went after DEI first cuz it was always about hate, not egg prices
Congrats Ivy! That is huge.
How to lose again and forever, step one:
ignore the real issue
Craig – Vance was an odd choice, as was Pence. Both are hyper-religious white nationalists, but seen as “weak”. Vance is 2025 and the reason I think if he replaces stupid before the 2026 elections using 25th he will keep pressing. But I think Dems will take the House again which mucks up the fascist takeover.
“Thousands in Germany protest the rise of the far right ahead of next month’s election”
Perhaps the MuskRat’s hubris will save Germany in their election next month.
i’d rather take a gamble with the gay guy married to a woman of color who correctly ascertained who the head fascist was and expressed it than the said fascist currently undermining every American institution
Congrats Ms and Mr Ivy!
Rick and I celebrate the same thing this coming Oct.
“Nebraska is one of the top meat producers in the U.S. It also has one of the worst labor shortages in the country. For every 100 jobs, there are only 39 workers, according to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.”
Also, about a quarter of farm workers in TX are afraid to go to work, and over half of Californian’s farm workers. Crops are rotting. No, JD, you effing putz, food prices are not going down. There will be food shortages in the near future.
Anyone needing eggs for baking, try Bob’s Red Mill egg replacer.
working and welfare class whites are never going to accept a woman or person of color as their superior so you either have to make less of them or more of you
you got two years
GO!
i’m not so naive as to not appreciate that pretending the issue is economic is a way for liberals to act like they’re politically motivated while avoiding a reflection on their own faults
this shit’s too deep and few have the gumption, why drugs are so popular
Thank you, Craig, and thank you, Renee. It kind’ve snuck up on us. One day at a time, live and let live, forgive even if you don’t forget.

my new game plan
Question for you legal types. What amendments and decisions state Native Americans are citizens? Magats are trying to declare that NA are not citizens and ICE is starting to detain and send them to Mexico.
BB – It’s because NA are bound to their tribes, first.
Not that US has kept treaties, but this is to access their lands to exploit resources and prevent them from voting or accessing benefits other US citizens get.
I find it interesting the Orange Adolf had called for the federal government to recognize a tribe in North Carolina. They should be careful what they wish for, as Shitler wants to disenfranchise them. They’ll get nothing for their votes.
“The Lumbee Tribe has more than 55,000 members, making it one of the largest Native groups in the United States. Located in the impoverished and diverse Robeson County, Trump had pledged during his 2024 campaign to recognize the tribe and won the county with 63% of the vote.”
so if true, agents are just targeting people with brown skin
“First, look at the amendment’s text: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
BB – Because the tribes govern and NA are subject to their jurisdiction, too, the n@zis are trying to say they are not US citizens.
“For private prison companies, ICE contracts remain their most significant federal revenue stream. In 2023, ICE accounted for 30% of CoreCivic’s and 43% of GEO Group’s revenues, according to the Brennan Center.”
My suspicion is that these will turn in to labor camps, since the 13th Amendment allows for slave labor of the imprisoned.
If any of the critters in Congress wonder what they would’ve done when the n@zis were coming to power…they are doing it now. Buncha cucks.
They are going to detain a lot of folks in error and they don’t care. Holman said the courts will sort it out, but can you imagine the number of cases and how long it may take to get released? Folks are going to be unconstitutionally detained for long periods of time.
“Hey, they’re still talking about egg prices, let’s go persecute perceived ethnic minorities!”
”Nice, it’s the weekend too so no one will be paying attention!”
The price of eggs—that’s just the best they could come up with to be like What about her emails. Of course our darling little press people did their best to make it sound like a real thing to the idiots and now none but the idiots give a rat’s ass about the fucking eggs.
of course the egg suppliers are ok with the price of eggs.
Hmmmm….you reckon it would be possible for the grocery chains to each send a representative to a secret meeting where they all agreed to ease upwards the price of eggs? That would be diabolical wouldn’t it.
Jack – thank you, that is what I was trying to remember. So we can expect sfb to write another EO revoking the statute.
Just found Thom Hartman has a podcast and site. He should be on MSNBC again.
“Trump hits Colombia with tariffs, sanctions after it refuses deportation flights”
The world is quickly tiring of Adolf’s dictator nonsense. No appeasement! Circle the wagons against the fascists in the WH!
“A provision in Article V of the Constitution states that if a majority of state legislatures petition Congress, there will be a convention to propose amendments. This would allow states to shape federal policy. But an Article V convention could also open the floodgates for other sweeping changes to be proposed and potentially ratified by states. (Constitutional law observers and critics of this idea have long warned of the risk of a “runaway convention” that throws away the Constitution and rewrites it from scratch.)”
“When we started Convention of States and I was there at the beginning, I knew we had to have a spiritual revival, a Great Awakening, and a political restoration for our country to come back to its roots,” Dunn, a pastor who has built a powerful political machine in the Lone Star state to advance his theocratic agenda, said at the Convention of States summit in 2019. “What I did not expect is that Convention of States would be an organization that would trigger the Great Awakening, and that’s what’s happened, and it’s a miracle, and that is why we’re doing the Lord’s work if we go around it the right way.”
Tim Dunn is a TX oil billionaire and Christo-fascist. They will also try to take away the right for anyone but white mom to vote. Believe it.
Ha! Since President Dumbass didn’t notify Congress 30 days prior, the Inspector Generals aren’t going anywhere!
Trying to keep the serendipity today but it’s overworking my last nerve.
“President Donald Trump said Sunday he is slapping an emergency 25 percent tariff on all goods imported from Colombia after the country’s president turned away two U.S. military aircraft full of detained Colombian migrants.”
“The punitive duties, which Trump announced in a social media post, would increase to 50 percent in a week as the U.S. president ignites another fight with a foreign leader over his tariff and immigration policies.”
“Petro later appeared to back down, posting in a statement that he has arranged the presidential plane to “facilitate the dignified return of the nationals who were to arrive today in the morning.”
Fuuuuudge! No appeasement, folks!
The US isn’t going to be the biggest consumer block for long because unemployment is going up, and prices are increasing internally for locally-grown food. And, how stupid of Adolf to decide instead of increasing the price of Colombian imports 25%, they’d be 50% more expensive. Nobody but the upper class will buy anything beyond necessities six months from now. MAGAt-n@zis are killing the consumer base.
The planes he sent were military. He knows magAmericans won’t understand the implications and the media will make sure they never do.
Breakfast just got even more expensive.
Tariffs
I think I wrote about this a few years ago, during the first reign of terror.
Although sfb thinks just scribbling some idiocy (that sylized scribble of a trademark) on a big piece of paper so he can hold it up to the camera like a three year old showing mommy his drawing of a cow, makes stuff happen immediately, it does not. Tariff changes need to be published (hopefully the Government Printing Office (GPO) is not shut down, the changes go into various documents for governments, trade, and people to read.
The federal government needs to update documents, harmonized tariff tables have to be updated, computer data tables need to be updated, brokers need to adjust pricing, import bills need adjusting and various government entities need to adjust their computer data tables. There is a lot more that has to happen.
Often new tariff codes are needed, and for an entire country to have a uniform change means even more work. If you have programs that act on certain tariff codes you need to update your programs, which probably require Customs and Border Protection to update their computer data and programs.
During the first era of sfb we had to update tariff codes all the time. It was not nice and often required hours working with other government agencies to coordinate the changes. For grins I put the link to the harmonized tariff table website. Please explore, you will see much that makes no sense,but it does. Everything imported is in the tables. The basic table is what was created last year and became official this year. Every change sfb causes makes a new pain in the ass for many thousands of people.
If you’re going to slap tariffs on a country at least learn how to spell it

Eggs & Colombian coffee. Whelp, there goes your breakfast budget, I guess.
I read somewhere that February 1st was tariff day, before the back and forth with Colombia.

“The “ice maiden” at the heart of the Trump administration has won her first big battle this week — denying Elon Musk a permanent base in the West Wing of the White House.”
“Musk’s senior leadership team are to be based in the Eisenhower executive office building, which is in the White House grounds but a short walk away across a road from the main complex.”
“Wiles was sitting in the Oval Office on a chair to the side of the Resolute desk when Trump was asked by a reporter during a signing session for executive orders if Musk would be getting an office in the West Wing. “No,” Trump said. “He’s getting an office for about 20 people that we’re hiring to make sure that these [savings] get implemented.”
The tRUMP WH is still fulls n@zis, no matter where they set up shop.

“When we started Convention of States and I was there at the beginning, I knew we had to have a spiritual revival, a Great Awakening, and a political restoration for our country to come back to its roots,” Dunn, a pastor who has built a powerful political machine in the Lone Star state to advance his theocratic agenda, said at the Convention of States summit in 2019. “What I did not expect is that Convention of States would be an organization that would trigger the Great Awakening, and that’s what’s happened, and it’s a miracle, and that is why we’re doing the Lord’s work if we go around it the right way.”
Tim Dunn is a TX oil billionaire and Christo-fascist. They will also try to take away the right for anyone but white mom to vote. Believe it.
Ha! Since President Dumbass didn’t notify Congress 30 days prior, the Inspector Generals aren’t going anywhere!
Trying to keep the serendipity today but it’s overworking my last nerve.

“President Donald Trump said Sunday he is slapping an emergency 25 percent tariff on all goods imported from Colombia after the country’s president turned away two U.S. military aircraft full of detained Colombian migrants.”
“The punitive duties, which Trump announced in a social media post, would increase to 50 percent in a week as the U.S. president ignites another fight with a foreign leader over his tariff and immigration policies.”
“Petro later appeared to back down, posting in a statement that he has arranged the presidential plane to “facilitate the dignified return of the nationals who were to arrive today in the morning.”
Fuuuuudge! No appeasement, folks!
The US isn’t going to be the biggest consumer block for long because unemployment is going up, and prices are increasing internally for locally-grown food. And, how stupid of Adolf to decide instead of increasing the price of Colombian imports 25%, they’d be 50% more expensive. Nobody but the upper class will buy anything beyond necessities six months from now. MAGAt-n@zis are killing the consumer base.
The planes he sent were military. He knows magAmericans won’t understand the implications and the media will make sure they never do.
Breakfast just got even more expensive.
Tariffs
I think I wrote about this a few years ago, during the first reign of terror.
Although sfb thinks just scribbling some idiocy (that sylized scribble of a trademark) on a big piece of paper so he can hold it up to the camera like a three year old showing mommy his drawing of a cow, makes stuff happen immediately, it does not. Tariff changes need to be published (hopefully the Government Printing Office (GPO) is not shut down, the changes go into various documents for governments, trade, and people to read.
The federal government needs to update documents, harmonized tariff tables have to be updated, computer data tables need to be updated, brokers need to adjust pricing, import bills need adjusting and various government entities need to adjust their computer data tables. There is a lot more that has to happen.
Often new tariff codes are needed, and for an entire country to have a uniform change means even more work. If you have programs that act on certain tariff codes you need to update your programs, which probably require Customs and Border Protection to update their computer data and programs.
During the first era of sfb we had to update tariff codes all the time. It was not nice and often required hours working with other government agencies to coordinate the changes. For grins I put the link to the harmonized tariff table website. Please explore, you will see much that makes no sense,but it does. Everything imported is in the tables. The basic table is what was created last year and became official this year. Every change sfb causes makes a new pain in the ass for many thousands of people.
If you’re going to slap tariffs on a country at least learn how to spell it
How Tyranny Begins
They are spelling challenged
Eggs & Colombian coffee. Whelp, there goes your breakfast budget, I guess.
I read somewhere that February 1st was tariff day, before the back and forth with Colombia.
Hoard, baby, hoard!

was listening to FM in the car and the DJ was like “hey hit me up on insta and tell me what you’re watching, i’m loving the Bachelorette and how about football”,

”HOLY SHIT FASCIST TAKEOVER OF AMERICA”
The rabble needs to feel it before they get it, may be too late by then
… Our fear has made us gullible
A bully rose to take control
And now they’re yelling, “Off with their heads!”
We’ve been through this, we ended it
Or so we thought, it had been fought
It’s like an army back from the dead
… The racists got a PR firm
Hired men in fancy shirts
But have the same ideology
… We’ve had to say a lot of stuff
We thought was fucking obvious like
Yes, it’s okay to punch Nazis
… Never thought that it would happen, but now look where we are
We’d rather have a rapist than a woman in power
When we got complacent in defending our rights
The Nazis changed their names, and they’re called the alt-right
… Death to white supremacists
Like Milo Yiannopoulos
Homophobes and hatred they spread
Let’s get intersectional
Basic human rights for all
We won’t stop ’til fascism’s dead
… Terrorize the red pill plague
Poison all the KKK
And piss on your ideology
… We’ve had to say a lot of stuff
We thought was fucking obvious like
Yes, it’s okay to punch Nazis

It couldn’t happen here. It couldn’t happen to this group or that person. Yep, the leopards will eat your face…and it’s too late to stop it.
We don’t mean to make sport of their learning disabilities, but you’d think they’d get professional help. They’ve turned their jobs over to interns who don’t know or care, and don’t proofread or edit.
We all make typos but that’s not what this is.

“The “ice maiden” at the heart of the Trump administration has won her first big battle this week — denying Elon Musk a permanent base in the West Wing of the White House.”
“Musk’s senior leadership team are to be based in the Eisenhower executive office building, which is in the White House grounds but a short walk away across a road from the main complex.”
“Wiles was sitting in the Oval Office on a chair to the side of the Resolute desk when Trump was asked by a reporter during a signing session for executive orders if Musk would be getting an office in the West Wing. “No,” Trump said. “He’s getting an office for about 20 people that we’re hiring to make sure that these [savings] get implemented.”
The tRUMP WH is still fulls n@zis, no matter where they set up shop.
Yes, but is he getting the upper bunk in Barron’s bedroom?
can we go back to 2016 and nominate Bernie
is that possible
“He’s getting an office for about 20 people that we’re hiring to make sure that these [savings] get implemented”
irony not lost
ok keep your wits about yourselves ✌️
Let’s see what’s going on.
We appear to be back in business. Testing
Oh, thank goodness!
Eric putting all on the table for the world to see…for about 20 minutes. (Also, it’s toe the line, not tow the line, Eric.)
Fetterman on The View now. Something is off…aside from how he voted last week. Did Adolf threaten to deport his wife?
So after all the bullshit of sending military planes which he knew would not be cleared to land, did he place the tariffs or not?
it’s toe the line by the way what a bunch of clods.
I can see the boy out there right now—gritting those teeth and towing that line
Now they know they can tweet any crazy ass shit they want to and then take it down and it will still spread like the morning news.
Bill Maher has changed up his jokes but I remember when the pair of them were Douchbag Von Fuckface and Thurston Von Shitbag the 3rd.
